Lords go left, Emperors go right

After seeing Aosta agree, Mestel XVIII breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that part of the plan had been completed. The first step was completed, and the next step was the second step, which was also the key step. Mestel XVIII took out a thick black cover notebook from the box as if by magic and handed it to Aosta. The content inside seemed to record a lot of special data.

Out of curiosity, after getting the tacit approval from King Mestel XVIII, Osta reached out and picked up the black notebook in front of him. The gentleman prince opened it and began to look through the contents. Osta was soon stunned. The contents recorded in this notebook were too indecent. It was full of intelligence data about the girl in all aspects, from hobbies, personal communication skills, to measurements. The level of detail was simply outrageous, exceeding the roster of top courtesans in many high-end nightclubs.

Osta once thought that the old gentleman in front of him was a high-end nightclub owner in disguise. The data recorded in the notebook, taken out from the hands of an old gentleman, always made people feel an inexplicable sense of disobedience, a very strange feeling. Of course, such things can only be regarded as a joke. For this senior gentleman prince, he still has the ability to distinguish between genders and men and women, and basically will not make a wrong judgment.

"Mister Meister, I didn't expect you to have done such a detailed investigation and know a lot about overseas affairs. However, the contents of this note are probably not appropriate! As a city lord, it is inevitable that you have some imagery! I will just pretend I didn't see it."

"Your Highness Aosta, you misunderstood. The data above is not about outsiders, but about the useless girls in my family. They don't affect the image."

"Mister, this is even more excessive! You wouldn't even let your own daughter go..."

"Your Highness Osta, please don't jump to conclusions. I want to send them... introduce them to you. This tomb robbery... No, it's this ancestor worship activity. In order to successfully enter the imperial mausoleum without triggering the self-destruct switch of the imperial mausoleum, the entourage needs to have descendants of the royal family's orthodox bloodline.

"Your Highness Aosta, there is no problem with their bloodline. If you can arrange for them to accompany you, I think it would be just right."

"I see, Your Excellency Meister, if you want to be filial, you should say so earlier. I think filial piety needs to be respected. However, from what I have seen in these records, it seems that there are a lot of irrelevant contents!"

"Your Highness Osta, after the ancestor worship ceremony is over, I would like to let them stay in your territory, Bloomfield, for a while. I would like to assign them some easy work. I hope you can temporarily not let them return to the Western Continent, but let them stay in the Central Continent for a while."

"Sir Mestel, your arrangement is inappropriate, isn't it? You are so confident in leaving them to me. Besides, you, the descendants of the royal family of the Meskhetiman Empire, cannot leave the ancient city of Meskhetim at will. I am afraid that I can't help you."

"Your Highness Osta, among all the princes of the empire, only you do not have to worry about this restriction. Other princes do not dare to do so. There are many things that are helpless. I have my reasons for making this decision. I have no choice but to do so. I hope that Your Highness Osta can join me. Just regard it as an unwelcome request from me."

Meister XVIII proposed to send his daughters to Aosta in the name of assisting in tomb robbery, and to follow this gentleman prince to leave the Western Continent of the Human Race and temporarily hide in the Central Continent. The old father seemed to be selling his daughters and giving dowries at the same time, and he also had his own unspeakable secrets. The direct members of the royal family of the Obelisk Empire, the princes, were fighting for the right to inherit the throne and the battle was intensifying. Meister XVIII might not be able to stay out of it in the future, and he would be forced to stand in line and show his camp. At that time, he might have to send his daughters out to marry those princes as a special token of his loyalty.

Among the children of Mestel XVIII's generation, all the sons died early, and almost did not live to adulthood, leaving only a few daughters. I don't know if they were targeted, or if someone secretly did something and did it on purpose. The fertility rate of the royal descendants of the Meskhetiman Empire has always been high, with more daughters than sons. Most of the sons died prematurely before they reached adulthood, leaving only daughters safe and sound, as if they were cursed for generations. The sons of each generation of this royal family. Each time, at most only one person can survive to adulthood, barely surviving to complete the mission of passing on the family line. After the loss of his son, Mestel XVIII poured all his love into his daughters. These data were investigated by the old father.

The purpose of Meister XVIII is very simple, to make Aosta guarantee the safety of his daughters for the sake of the generous dowry. This gentleman prince is more compassionate and kind to girls. Among the other princes, the seventh prince Osier is also a good choice, and he is very good at taking care of ladies. However, Osier's background is not good and his power is not enough. At the critical moment, he may not be able to protect the beauty, so he has to make a painful decision to let go. Aosta has the greatest political power behind him, and may even be able to shelter traitors. He is fearless, so entrusting Aosta is the best choice.

Osta was a little hesitant, thinking about the pros and cons, and did not give a positive answer to Meister XVIII and make a promise immediately. The daughter of the old city lord must be pretty. Judging from the recorded intelligence, she has both good looks and abilities. What Osta cares about is that before him, the members of the Obelisk royal family, the second prince Oster and the fourth prince Osk, had clearly expressed to Meister XVIII that they wanted to have further contact with his daughter, and obviously wanted to take one away. After all, she is a descendant of the royal family of the Meskhetiman Empire. Marrying her can add to one's identity and legitimacy, and add points in the future battle for the throne. The purpose is self-evident.

Meister XVIII was unwilling to let his few remaining daughters get involved in this political struggle. No matter who wins or loses in the end, his daughters will be hurt to varying degrees. After the failure of the political struggle, they will be implicated by the princes and face the revenge and suppression of the victors together. In that case, it would be better to put all the daughters in the hands of one prince from the beginning. The most suitable one is Aosta. The third prince has no intention of participating in the battle for the throne. This gentleman prince himself has enough strength to ensure that no matter who takes the throne and becomes the next emperor of the Obelisk Empire, no one dares to attack him.

"Mister Meister, I need time to answer this question. I will give you a clear answer after careful consideration. This king might offend my second brother and his family."

"Your Highness Aosta, I understand. It's getting late now. How about you stay overnight?"

"Mister, I am a gentleman and will not accept any bribes."

"Your Highness Aosta, I know the rules. Don't worry. Only you and I know about your stay. No one else will know."

Chapter 58: The Mystery of the True and False Treasure Map of the Ancient Imperial Mausoleum

————This chapter (8K)————

The ancient city of Meskhetim is located in the central area of ​​Mesfeltah (the western continent of the human race), within the borders of the Obelisk Empire. The lord of Meskhetim, Mestel XVIII, knows that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. He plans to transfer the treasure that the Meskhetim Empire had hidden away in preparation for the restoration of the country and its comeback to Aosta for help in management. The location of the royal tomb marked on the treasure map he provided is in Aosta's territory, the eastern border area of ​​the Bloomfield region. The primitive tribal clans living there, the Demon Fox Tribe, belong to the Nolanthians and have not yet joined Aosta's ruling alliance. This gentleman prince happened to be going to the location of that tribe to conduct relevant recruitment operations, and he could do archaeological research on the way. He still has the time and ability to do so.

The descendants of the royal family of the Meskhetiman Empire, the survivors of the fall of the empire, in fact, not only the line of Mestel XVIII, but at least two other bloodlines escaped. On the eve of the fall of the capital of the empire by the coalition of nine kings, the last emperor Mesklen XIV arranged for his son, the next generation heir to the throne, to be secretly sent out, leaving behind his bloodline. When the coalition of nine kings broke through the city of Meskhetiman, burned the palace of the Meskhetiman Empire, and looted the city, it was confirmed that most of the princes of the Meskhetiman Empire had died in the battle, but the life and death of the crown prince could not be confirmed. The crown prince successfully escaped, but this Mesklen XV was destined to not be able to ascend the throne and become the next emperor of the empire, and the empire no longer existed.

Mesklen XV and his descendants, the descendants of the royal family of the Meskhetiman Empire, are strictly speaking the most pure bloodline and the real direct descendants. Mestel XVIII is just a collateral line. After the fall of the Meskhetiman Empire, Mesklen XV was afraid of being hunted down by the Nine Kings' coalition, so he chose to hide from place to place and did not dare to return to Meskheti City to lead the empire's survivors to rebuild. As a result, he was preempted by the Mestel lineage. At that time, on the Western Continent of the Human Race, the nine new empires were busy fighting for hegemony for more than two hundred years, and no one had time to hunt down Mesklen XV. As the saying goes, hesitation will lead to defeat. Mesklen XV missed the opportunity to restore his country in troubled times. At that time, if he established a small kingdom based on a small place, the nine empires basically did not care and chose to expand their own sphere of influence first.

Two hundred years later, the situation stabilized, the ruling classes of various countries compromised with each other and reached a reconciliation. The descendants of Mesklen XV no longer had any chance to restore their country. They had missed the best opportunity and the nine empires would not give them another chance. At that time, the nine empires united and spoke in unison, unanimously deciding to promote the Mestel lineage as the orthodox royal descendants of the Meskhetiman Empire. The descendants of Mesklen XV had even their orthodox status taken away. There was no hope of restoring their country, and they had lost the identity basis for calling on the remnants of the empire. They could only live in seclusion and wait for new opportunities to come. This wait lasted for hundreds of years, and to this day, they still have not waited for the opportunity to restore their country.

The remaining bloodline of the royal family of the Meskhetiman Empire was left behind by the last emperor of the empire, Mesklen XIV, who was a playboy and accidentally left behind when he was out inspecting the empire. At that time, Mesklen XIV fell in love with a certain folk woman outside the palace and had a love affair with her. Mesklen XIV originally planned to bring his lover back to the imperial palace and officially make her his concubine, but was opposed by the queen and most of the concubines. He had to give up temporarily and planned to consider it again after a while. It is said that the common woman successfully gave birth to an illegitimate child for the emperor.

However, man proposes, God disposes. Just when Mesklen XIV was ready to take responsibility and personally bring people to take the mother and son to the palace and officially give them status, the Meskhetiman Empire was destroyed, and the matter ended in vain. The descendants of the royal family of the Meskhetiman Empire did not recognize the mother and son as members of the royal family. The bloodline of this illegitimate child and his descendants has also continued to this day. They are also hiding from place to place, hiding their identities, and living in anonymity. They are not very free. The most comfortable life is still the branch of Mestel XVIII, at least their living conditions have reached the standard level of the royal family.

"Since it is Master Meister's gracious invitation, how can I not give him face? It's okay for me to stay overnight. The scenery of Meister Manor is pleasant, and I believe the night view is also worth appreciating."

"Your Highness Osta, you are too kind. I am only doing my little bit to repay the kindness of the Obelisk Empire's royal family over the years. By the way, there are still some things I need to tell Your Highness."

"Hmm, what... there are two identical copies of the treasure map! Lord Meister, are you kidding me?"

"Your Highness Aosta, this is due to historical reasons. I can't do anything about it."

"Sir Meister, what you mean is... that is to say, the treasure map in my hand may not be real, and I still need to take a gamble?"

"Your Highness Aosta, the probability of three bets and two is still very high. Even if it is a replica, the location should not be marked incorrectly. Moreover, there are many talented people around you, plus the help of my girls. As long as the place is right, it will not be difficult to enter the imperial mausoleum."

"Mister, that's true... Well, a little gambling is good, it can increase the difficulty of the challenge."

The city lord, Mestel XVIII, was very frank. When he entrusted the treasure map to Osta, he told the gentleman prince bluntly that the other two royal descendants of the Meskhetiman Empire still existed. And the most important point is that the treasure map in Mestel XVIII's hands is not the only one. The other two royal descendants also have the same treasure map. The origins of the three versions of the treasure map can be traced back to the reign of Mesklen X, the emperor of the Meskhetiman Empire, when the treasure map was stolen.

The case was very famous at the time. After a large number of people were dispatched to conduct a detailed investigation, the truth of the matter finally surfaced. It turned out that the culprit was the nephew of Emperor Mesclun X. This prince boasted to his friends at a banquet that he could make a legendary treasure map to help his friends learn the ropes. Once the words were spoken, it was difficult to take them back. In order to save face, the nephew took advantage of his status and returned to the palace. When no one was paying attention, he secretly stole the treasure map.

After the theft was solved, the treasure map was recovered, and the nephew was placed under house arrest in the palace, punished with lifelong confinement, and was not allowed to set foot outside the palace. This ban was not lifted until the next emperor, Mesclen XI, ascended the throne, and when he succeeded to the throne and issued a general amnesty, he regained his freedom. The nephew's friends who had committed the crime also suffered bad luck. In order to prevent the secret of the treasure map from being leaked, all those who knew about it were killed. They were all imprisoned in the imperial prison and secretly executed because they had allowed their friends to steal the treasure map.

Emperor Meskelon X was determined to kill his own nephew for the sake of justice. He was still in shock after severely punishing his nephew. In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again and bring shame to his ancestors, Emperor Meskelon X came up with a solution. He immediately arranged for someone to draw a backup treasure map based on the original treasure map. At the same time, in order to cover up his tracks, he also drew a fake treasure map that was almost the same, but with some details tampered with. There were three treasure maps in total, two of which were real, the original and the replica, and one was a fake forged version. The fake treasure map was almost indistinguishable from the real thing, and only the emperor himself knew how to distinguish the real from the fake. The authenticity of the three treasure maps has been passed down as a special secret since Emperor Meskelon X. Before the previous emperor passed away, he would pass on this secret orally or in a special handwritten note to the next emperor.

Mestel XVIII could not guarantee whether the treasure map he gave to Aosta was real. With a probability of two out of three, none of Mestel XVIII's ancestors knew the authenticity of the treasure map. Because when the previous emperor Mestel XIII was on an expedition to the southern continent of the human race, the imperial fleet encountered a super sea storm and all the ships sank. Mestel XIII was buried in the sea with the fleet and his body could not be found. There was no time to hand over the secret of the authenticity of the three treasure maps to the next emperor, the last emperor Mestel XIV. Mestel XIV himself could not be sure of the authenticity of the treasure map, so he could only take a risky gamble. Before the empire fell, he planned to separate the remaining two treasure maps and give them to the crown prince and illegitimate son respectively. There was a treasure map that Mestel XVIII's ancestors secretly took out of the palace treasury before they were politically persecuted, as a talisman in case of need.

After knowing the reason, Osta's expression became much more cautious. Not only did he have two more treasure-hunting competitors, but there was also a chance that the treasure map was fake. It all depended on who would lose face. Because the three parties did not know whether the treasure maps in their hands were real, they were suspicious of each other and refused to cooperate. They took out their own treasure maps for sharing and comparison to identify the authenticity. Therefore, the authenticity of the treasure map has been shelved until now. This delicate balance has been maintained to this day. With the emergence of a gentleman prince, it is very likely to be broken. As long as one of the parties starts digging, the other two parties will not sit idly by and will inevitably launch relevant actions. Osta's advantage is that the imperial tomb is located in his territory, Bloomfield. As the lord of one side, the gentleman prince has an indisputable home advantage.

"Your Highness Aosta, you can come and go freely in all places in the manor. You are welcome. You can treat this place as your palace."

"Sir Meister, I will obey your orders. Don't worry about the Imperial Mausoleum. You can leave it to me. I am a professional in this area and have a lot of experience."

"Your Highness Aosta, I'm leaving it up to you. I'm also leaving the maids in my family in my care."

"Mister Meister, I haven't thought about the latter point clearly yet. I will be able to give you an answer later."

"Your Highness Aosta, you can go meet them. They are all in the manor. We need their assistance in this...ancestor worship activity. Please be sure to go meet them."

"Okay, Mr. Meister, since it's a work requirement, I'll go meet him."

"Your Highness Aosta, please wait a moment. I will arrange for someone to lead the way for you."

Osta did not refuse Meister XVIII's behavior of promoting his own precious daughter and giving her a treasure map, but he was not in a position to express his opinion publicly. If he accepted this gift, he would indirectly offend the second prince Oster and the fourth prince Osk. After all, they had expressed their desire for marriage to Meister XVIII before the gentleman prince, but Osta, the latecomer, got there first. The beauty that was about to be in his hands was gone. It was impossible for him not to feel uncomfortable. Of course, these marriages were proposed by the princes in private, and their father, Emperor Augustus VIII, was not aware of it. It did not represent the intention of the supreme ruler of the Obelisk Empire. It was considered a private act of the princes. If they were really intercepted, it would be difficult to say anything publicly.

Osta plans to make a decision after meeting with the princesses of the previous dynasty. At worst, he can pretend to be confused and pretend that he doesn't know. Anyway, as long as he brings the person to his territory, the Bloomfield area. Even if the second prince Oster and the fourth prince Osk know about it, they can only suffer in silence and consider themselves unlucky. They certainly dare not send people to Osta's territory to snatch people from the other party's sphere of influence. At this stage, most of the princes, direct members of the royal family of the Obelisk Empire, have a tacit understanding and tacitly form a united front to fight against the heir to the throne, the eldest prince Osed, who is supported by his father, Emperor Augustus VIII. In this extraordinary period, he will not try to openly tear his face with the third prince Osta, so as to avoid the relationship between the two sides being strained, pushing the third prince to the camp of the eldest prince, and breaking the balance of power between the princes. The third prince has not publicly expressed his support for his brother to succeed to the throne. His strength and influence can directly influence the selection of the final successor to the throne.

After sending the treasure map, Meister XVIII summoned a special waiter to receive Osta, and asked the waiters and maids on standby outside to come back and start working. Osta was quite surprised when he saw the waiter, mainly because the waiter's identity did not look like a human. The other waiters and maids were all wearing regular black and white waiter and maid outfits, but this beauty was dressed in a special way, and it was obvious that she was not dressed as a waiter, and her identity was quite special.

Not far in front of Osta, a beautiful and cool fox girl appeared. The fox girl's height was estimated to be about 176cm, taller than a certain gentleman prince. The height of aliens is generally taller than the average level of humans, and this has nothing to do with gender. The fox girl has smooth and beautiful silver hair, a standard long straight hairstyle, silver-white hair, which is scattered behind the slender waist and below. The pair of silver-white fox ears on the fox girl's head are particularly conspicuous. Because her hair is too long, the fox girl deliberately used a black wreath-shaped hair accessory to roll up part of her hair and roll it on the back of her head, making an extra-long single ponytail hairstyle. Under the light, the hair exudes a soft luster, which invisibly adds a lot of special beauty to the fox girl.

The fox girl has a beautiful face and delicate features, as if she is a perfect work of art that has been carefully carved and polished, with no obvious flaws. She has a pair of beautiful silver-gray eyes. Except for her skin color that is too white and almost morbidly pale, there is nothing else unusual about the fox girl. This beast-eared girl is different from the fox girl that Osta knows. The silver-haired fox girl gives people the feeling of being aloof at first. She is not as charming and seductive as most fox girls, who will deliberately show off their postures and seduce gentlemen to commit crimes. Of course, Osta personally feels that this kind of aloofness is also a disguised new way of seducing in some ways.

The silver-haired fox girl was wearing a snow-white dress, with almost no part below the neck exposed. She was wearing a pair of pure white long gloves, and her style looked conservative. However, she had a hot body and a plump figure. This dress, which had few patterns and decorations, could not hide her charm. Her curvy figure and seductive curves were still perfectly outlined, and a vague outline could be seen. This was mainly because the highest peak in front was too big. The peaks were heavyweight, with a level of G. A figure of that size, no matter how tightly she was dressed, could not hide a certain charm. The most astringent place was at the back. When Osta saw the fox girl, she just sat sideways on the carpet, waiting for orders, with her legs naturally bent and her knees down, similar to a soldier sitting down. The fox girl's hands were not idle either. Her right hand was placed downward, just blocking the position in front of her legs. Her left hand was raised and gently placed on the peak on the left. Her snow-white, slender legs were equipped with a pair of pure white silk stockings. In this sitting posture, she looked so sexy that it was hard not to notice. The visual impact of the picture was too obvious.

"Sir Meister, why do you have orcs here?"

"Your Highness Osta, please don't misunderstand Mr. Meister. He didn't hide any orcs, and I don't have much to do with the orcs."

"It seems that I misunderstood, Miss Fox, can you let me know more about you?"

"Of course, Your Highness Aosta, judging from your appearance, you are not a bad person. I have been waiting here for many years, and finally I have met my destined person."

"Miss Fox, can you also read faces and tell fortunes?"

"I know a little bit, Your Highness Aosta. I know what you want to ask. I'm sorry, I can't tell you your fortune for now. There are some things that cannot be revealed."

"This is not a place to chat, Master Meister, do you mind if I take Miss Fox away?"

"No problem, Your Highness Aosta, please do as you please. Miss Melissa will explain everything to you later."

Silver-haired fox girl Melissa is not an orc. Osta can confirm this preliminarily, mainly because there is no white fox tail behind Melissa. It is not that she does not have a tail, but she uses some special spells to hide it. The fox girls of the fox tribe, a branch of the orcs, can use spells, but none of them can hide their tails so that people cannot see this racial feature. If Melissa can hide her tail, her race should be classified as a demon fox, and cannot be counted as a branch of the orcs, the fox tribe.

Melissa stood up and led Osta to another place to discuss in detail. She also introduced the princesses of the previous dynasty to Osta. After seeing the three mysterious maids, Chris and the others, following behind Osta, Melissa was stunned for a moment. A trace of undisguised fear flashed in her beautiful silver-gray eyes, as if she had seen something terrifying. She quickly turned her head away and dared not look any further. Osta was admiring the fox girl the whole time and did not notice the details of Melissa's little action this time. Before meeting the princesses of the previous dynasty, the fox girl Melissa alone made Osta feel that this trip to the Mestre Manor was not in vain.

Melissa has a deep connection with the Meskhetiman Empire's royal family. She was an injured white fox that the first emperor, Mesklen I, accidentally saved. In order to repay her kindness, this fox demon has been guarding the Meskhetiman Empire's royal family. She can be said to be the royal guardian beast. Starting from the first emperor, Mesklen I, she guarded Mesklen VI, six generations of emperors. The location of the royal mausoleum was obtained by Melissa after many contacts and negotiations with the beautiful chieftain of the local primitive tribe, the demon fox tribe. It is said that when choosing the location of the royal mausoleum, Melissa carefully selected a Feng Shui treasure land for the Meskhetiman Empire's royal family to use. The orientation of the mausoleum when it was built was also arranged according to Feng Shui. Once the formation is completed, it can ensure that the Meskhetiman Empire's regime will not fall for a thousand years.

Some things are destined, and there is no way to reverse them. To change one's fate is to pay a huge price, unless one is a special being that can transcend the laws of the world. Every time the emperor of the Meskhetiman Empire passed away, the burial ceremony of the emperors of all generations was presided over by Melissa herself, and she set out with the fleet. Originally, it was only the last step away from completion. After the sixth burial ceremony, Melissa had just presided over the funeral of Emperor Mesklen VI, and before she had time to return, she encountered a strong opponent. In order to compete for the Feng Shui treasure land where the imperial mausoleum of the Meskhetiman Empire was located, the two sides fought fiercely, and both were ultimately injured. After being severely injured, Melissa had to stay in the Demon Fox Tribe in the Central Continent to recuperate for a while.

When Melissa recovered a little and returned to the Western Continent, everything had changed. The Meskhetiman Empire was only a few years away from extinction. The last emperor of the empire, Mesklen XIV, did not trust Melissa and suspected that she had disappeared for so many years because she had done something to offend the empire. He excluded and made things difficult for Melissa. Melissa had no choice but to leave in despair. She could not explain the Feng Shui issues to Mesklen XIV. When Melissa was away, the Meskhetiman Empire declined. Since Emperor Mesklen VII, the country had been in trouble. The last emperor, Mesklen XIV, had been in trouble and could not find the reason. He blamed Melissa for the decline and suspected that her original intention of suggesting that the founding emperor build an overseas mausoleum was to transfer the wealth of the empire.

Until the fall of the Meskhetiman Empire, Melissa was unable to help. After the fall of the empire, Melissa went through many twists and turns and finally found the royal bloodline of Mestel and continued to protect it. The war that year caused Melissa to lose some of her memory. She did not remember too many things about the imperial mausoleum, and could not identify the authenticity of the treasure map. She could not remember the face of the opponent. The opponent obviously set a trap on purpose. During the battle, he used secret methods to tamper with Melissa's memory, so that part of her memory was sealed. Melissa also wanted to find the descendants of Mesklen XIV, Prince Mesklen XV or the mysterious illegitimate son. These two have been hiding and could not be found, so she had to give up in the end.

"Melissa, you wouldn't mind helping me get into the Imperial Tomb of the Meskhetiman Empire, right?"

"Your Highness Aosta, I respect Mr. Meister's decision. I will naturally cooperate with the choice of their descendants. After so many years, I have figured out many things. I can't force it."

"Your Highness Aosta, the royal family of the Meskhetiman Empire cannot afford to enjoy that precious land. Perhaps Mesklen XIV is right. I have harmed this empire from the very beginning."

"Melissa, is the problem that serious? It's been more than a thousand years. Any grudges have long passed. You don't need to blame yourself."

"Your Highness Aosta, thank you for your understanding and comfort. I feel better now."

"Melissa, I don't like to see ladies sad. By the way, does the Feng Shui treasure land where the imperial tomb you mentioned is located really have such magical powers?"

"Your Highness Aosta, you may not have heard of this before. The place where the imperial tomb is located is not an ordinary Feng Shui treasure land, but a rare dragon vein, a place where dragons rise."

Osta appeared calm, but he was not calm in his heart. As a time traveler, he knew something about dragon veins. If the ancestors were buried on the dragon veins, the chances of the descendants becoming emperors would increase greatly. This metaphysics also existed in the other world of this plane. Osta did not expect that there was a real dragon vein near the eastern border of his territory, the Blomfidel region. When Melissa was attacked, the other party obviously wanted to seize control of the dragon vein. If they could not seize it, they would destroy it. At worst, no one would be able to get this dragon's birthplace.

The significance of the Dragon Vein Land to the royal families of various empires is self-evident. If they obtain it, the future of the empire will be immeasurable. Melissa told this secret only after she met Osta. Before that, she did not tell this secret to others, including Meister XVIII. After all, most of the natives of this plane, the royal families and nobles of the human race, hardly knew what the Dragon Vein was. Melissa once explained the Dragon Vein to the first emperor, Meiskron I, and emphasized its importance. However, the other party also had only a vague understanding and did not quite believe that the Dragon Vein really had such a magical effect.

From the beginning, Meskron I's primary goal was to help the Meskhetiman Empire save capital for a comeback, and the dragon vein was just a legend. Osta didn't think so. Judging from the demise of the Meskhetiman Empire, the dragon vein was most likely really useful, but the Meskhetiman Empire didn't seize the opportunity. Now, this opportunity is in front of the Obelisk Empire. How to deal with it depends on the personal will and final decision of Lord Osta, the gentleman prince.

The real dragon vein is in the middle continent, just within the territory of Aosta. Fortunately, the natives of the other world in this plane don't know about the dragon vein. Most people think that the dragon vein is pure nonsense. Even the Church of Light disdains it, thinking that it is just nonsense. If it can be proved that the dragon vein is really useful, then it is inevitable that all forces will fight and fight to the point of bloodshed. The gentleman prince does not want such a bloody situation to occur in his territory. Even if he does not use it, he will close the place and strictly control it. The dragon vein is located in the imperial mausoleum of the Meskhetiman Empire. It can use the name of protecting historical relics and monuments to deal with it.

Melissa had planned everything before, but she never expected to meet her peers in the end. The two sides fought for the dragon vein, and both suffered losses. Many years have passed since that fight, and the other party did not continue to send people to the dragon vein area. This was a fight without a winner. Osta was more interested in the secret treasure in the imperial mausoleum, and the dragon vein was ranked behind. The gentleman prince was appointed to the throne and the position of the pope, and the dragon vein did not add much to him. If it were an ordinary family, the effect would be easy to see.

Now, few people know about this dragon's birthplace, and Osta is the first one. Melissa has been reflecting on the past for many years and will not easily reveal the news. Moreover, the other party is the current overlord of the human race's western continent, a direct member of the royal family of the Obelisk Empire. After obtaining the dragon vein and making some use of it, the empire may break the historical curse of the human race's western continent and become the first overlord of the continent to dominate for more than 30 years, rewriting history. The maids accompanying the gentleman prince, Chris and others, listened quietly on the side. They were calm about the dragon vein and were not too surprised. After all, they had the ability to directly change their personal destiny and the supreme authority, which could not be compared with the slow-acting method of the Feng Shui treasure land.

"Melissa, are you sure it's really a dragon vein?"

"Your Highness Aosta, your tone implies that you believe... Please forgive my rudeness, but judging from your fate, it would be too high for that true dragon vein to meet you. You don't need..."

"Melissa, whether it is necessary or not is another matter, but at least we need to control it to prevent others from messing around."

"Your Highness Aosta, I understand. When the time comes, I will lend you a helping hand and do my best to help you enter the Imperial Mausoleum."

"Melissa, regarding our country's next emperor..."

"Your Highness Aosta, I can't figure this out. There are too many variables."

"Melissa, don't be nervous. I was just asking casually. Just treat it as a joke."

Chapter 58: A special conversation at midnight at the manor (Part 2)

————This chapter (6K)————

In the central area of ​​Mesfeltah Continent (Western Continent of the Human Race), within the borders of the Obelisk Empire, the ancient city of Meskhetim. The private residence of Meskhetim's lord, the XVIII Meskhetim, is deep in Meskhetim Manor. Upon learning that the Meskhetim Imperial Mausoleum hidden in his territory, near the eastern border of the Bloomfield region, is a real dragon vein, Osta, a visiting gentleman prince, was in a delicate state of mind and could not calm down for a long time. The true value of the dragon vein must be much more valuable than the treasure buried deep in the imperial mausoleum. The natives of this plane of the alien world have no knowledge of Feng Shui and do not know the role of the dragon vein. If they knew, it would be another "hot potato" that would be quite difficult to handle.

Osta knew that once the news leaked out, if outsiders knew about it, especially the royal family members and nobles of various countries, the private exclusive territory of the gentleman prince, the Bloomfield area, it would inevitably cause a new round of bloody storms, and various forces would fight for the dragon vein. It was not easy for Osta to place the dragon vein. If it was used, it would be easily misunderstood as an attempt to rebel and establish a new sect. Regardless of the treasures in the imperial mausoleum of the Meskhetiman Empire, Osta had agreed to the request of the imperial descendant of the empire, Mestel XVIII, to carry out archaeological work on the imperial mausoleum. When offering sacrifices to the ancestors, it would inevitably change the building terrain and affect the trend of the dragon vein, so it would still have something to do with it.

Osta tried his best to avoid the situation known to the world. The most extreme way to deal with it was to cut off the dragon vein directly. However, if the dragon vein was destroyed, the area where the dragon vein was located would be seriously affected, and various feng shui and fortune problems would occur. The descendants of the buried tomb owner, the descendants of the royal family of the Meskhetiman Empire, the mayor of Meskhetiman City, the family of Mestel XVIII, the people who destroyed the dragon vein, the royal family of the Obelisk Empire, and the Bloomfield area of ​​Osta's territory would all be negatively affected to varying degrees. Therefore, destroying the dragon vein was a bad idea, and Osta did not consider this approach that would cause all the relevant personnel to fall into the trap.

The Feng Shui formation designed by the pure white fox Melissa for the imperial mausoleum of the Meshetiman Empire was, according to her own memory, a super Feng Shui formation called "Seven Stars Shaking Light". It was said that it was arranged according to the distribution of the Big Dipper in the sky, and the corresponding shape was arranged on the ground. The location of each imperial mausoleum corresponds to a star in the sky. As long as this Big Dipper formation is arranged, it can ensure that the Meshetiman Empire will rule for a thousand years and the regime will not fall. This kind of Feng Shui formation that changes fate against the will of heaven has a great price to pay when it is arranged, and the requirements in all aspects are harsh. If the general empire is not strong enough, it cannot be built at all. During the heyday of the Meshetiman Empire, it unified the Western Continent of the Human Race and occupied one-fifth of the land area of ​​the Southern Continent of the Human Race, treating it as an overseas colony of its own country. At that time, they had the financial, material, human and other resources to operate the super Feng Shui project.

The Seven Star Formation was almost completed that year. Six imperial mausoleums had been built, and the seventh imperial mausoleum was also completed. The relevant collections and treasures had been transported, and they were waiting for the burial of the imperial emperor, Mesklen VII. At that time, this super feng shui formation would be completed. However, it was difficult to defy the will of heaven. After Melissa was attacked, she did not return to the Western Continent. Mesklen VII was not buried in the scheduled mausoleum. The Mesklen VII was backfired by the feng shui formation, and only six emperors were blessed. The relatively stable ruling environment from Mesklen VII to Mesklen XII just corresponded to the six buried emperors. The two emperors who came after were unlucky. Mesklen XIII was buried in the sea, and his body was not found. Mesklen XIV directly became the king of the fallen country. As the last emperor, he set himself on fire in the palace. Whether there was a curse from the feng shui formation is terrifying.

Now, the successor only needs to bury his own ancestors in the seventh imperial tomb, and at the same time dig up the previous six imperial tombs, open the coffins in the main tomb chamber, drag out the remains of the emperors of the Meskhetiman Empire and throw them away, and then hold a grand ceremony to move the remains of the ancestors of the family to the burial place, and then he can legitimately take over the Seven Star Array. Although this act of occupying the magpie's nest is quite immoral, the Nine Kings' Coalition dug up the imperial tomb of the Meskhetiman Empire and openly robbed the tomb. Compared with the crazy behavior at that time, dragging out the body of the tomb owner and discarding it seems to be nothing big. After all, it would cost a lot to build a seven-star formation again, demolish the original imperial tomb, and rebuild the imperial tomb of the Gazi country. It would be too wasteful to do that. It would be better to pick up the ready-made ones. As long as the Seven Star Array is not completed, the seventh imperial tomb will be empty, and it is still uncertain whose ancestors are buried in the previous six imperial tombs, and who will they belong to in the end.

"Melissa, can you tell my fortune?"

"Your Highness Aosta, I dare not calculate your face. The ladies around you know it better than you do."

"Melissa, I just want to consult a professional. Chris and the others are not in this field, so they don't understand many things."

"Your Highness Aosta, the secret cannot be revealed. You are destined to have many romantic partners. Although you will face many disasters, there will always be noble people to help you, and you will be out of danger in the end. I can only say this much. If I say more, I will reveal the secret."

"Melissa, you've said it, haven't you? It's almost the same as saying it all. Can I ask you one more question?"

"What's the problem, Your Highness Aosta? You should stop at the right time! Sometimes knowing too much will often make you unhappy."

"Melissa, what I'm going to ask is not a strange question, you don't have to be so nervous. I just want to know, are you included in these female confidantes?"

"This... Your Highness Aosta, I refuse to answer this question. What are you...what are you laughing at!"

"Melissa, I didn't realize how cute you are before. From the expression on your face, I already know the answer."

"Your Highness Aosta, I...I didn't say anything, please don't make blind guesses..."

In the mansion of the mayor of Meskhetim, the private estate of the mayor Mestel XVIII, Osta was talking to the pure white fox Melissa. This cold-looking fox girl was surprisingly simple, and could not compare with those battle-hardened fellows. She was no match for Osta's senior gentleman. After a few teasings, her face turned red, and she kept retreating to the wall, and finally even leaned against the wall, looking like she was about to be beaten against the wall by a gentleman prince. Osta almost kissed her. Melissa didn't use lipstick, and her pursed lips gave people a special temptation. After the coldness dissipated, she gave people a surprisingly soft feeling. This is a thousand-year-old fox demon, and it is a relatively rare innocent type. She treats people simply, has excellent qualifications and potential, and has unlimited development possibilities.

Melissa was indeed too kind. When setting up the Seven Star Formation, she followed the decent way and had to wait until the emperor died of illness and natural causes before burying him. If it was a more efficient evil way, and the emperor could just find a reason to kill his seven princes or other members of the royal bloodline and force them to be buried, the Seven Star Formation would not have to wait for so many years and could be completed in just a few years. In the face of national destiny and family affection, many emperors could not withstand this test of humanity. More than 80% would choose the former and sacrifice their relatives for the longevity of national destiny. Melissa did not want to do this, and in a moment of thought, the Seven Star Formation was delayed for many years. The mysterious enemy who came to snatch the dragon vein from her later was also a Feng Shui master, and tried to use the dragon vein to set up the evil Seven Star Formation. After the battle between the two sides, it is not ruled out that the other side has made some moves and successfully changed part of the trend of the Seven Star Formation.

Melissa needed to personally confirm the situation of the Seven Star Formation. Her power alone was limited, so she could only seek help from outside. After Osta roughly understood the character of the pure white fox demon Melissa, he easily brought them closer. If the other party needed him, many things would be easy to arrange. Osta had not yet met the princesses of the previous dynasty, but he had successfully brought Melissa to his side. If nothing unexpected happened, this fox lady would not be able to escape. When the two sides were close, Osta could smell the special fragrance that came to his face. It was the exclusive characteristic fragrance of the fox demon, which contained the fragrance of virginity. Although Melissa had lived for many years, she had always been chaste and had not been successfully obtained by that man. It was not until she met a gentleman prince that the situation changed significantly and things took a new turn.

Melissa had a subtle expression. Before leading the way, she even changed the clothes on her legs slightly, from pure white silk stockings to black silk stockings, as requested by a certain gentleman prince. Osta had originally just tried it out with a tentative attitude, but he didn't expect it to be successful. The first step has been taken, and in the future, we can consider gradually letting Melissa accept other special requests from the gentleman prince and change into other special clothes.

When the archaeological work of the Meskhetiman Empire Imperial Mausoleum officially begins, Osta will need the assistance of Melissa, the pure white fox. After all, Melissa was a former designer and knows something about architectural layout. The gentleman prince wants to preserve the historical and cultural relics of this thousand-year-old country to the greatest extent possible, and the excavation work should try not to destroy too much of the exterior of the building, and arrange it like a real archaeological work.
