Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1129 Utopia (1)

Seeing that face that was quite similar to Athena, Cheng Mo's mind buzzed, as if someone had hit him hard with a hammer.He finally remembered that he had heard Athena say her mother's full name once in Syria. Before that, he only knew that Athena's father was the famous rich man Socrates Onassis.Later, in the battle with Shax, Athena arrived in time, rescued him, and confide in him before telling him the big secret.

Athena is the ninth generation heir of the Delorme family, and her mother is the "Light of Europa" - Chloe Delorme.

At that time, Cheng Mo was attracted all the attention by the surname "Delorme" which was related to him or the "Lord of Plague", and ignored the name "Chloe" which did not have too many characteristics. Athena only mentioned it once, and the rest of the time, Chloe Delorme was called "mother", which caused Cheng Mo not to remember who Chloe was.

After all, that was more than three years ago.

If it weren't for the fact that Chloe Delorme looks very similar to Athena and also likes to wear lab coats, Cheng Mo might not be able to connect Chloe with Athena's mother.

Although he was basically able to confirm his own judgment now, Cheng Mo was still very surprised. He stared at the woman in the palace who looked like a white lotus in a white coat, and his slightly parted lips did not close for a long time.

This unexpected shock made Cheng Mo wake up from the shock after a while.He turned his head to look at Chernaberg beside him, and asked softly, "Is that the one in the white coat Ms. Chloe Chloe DeLorme?"

"Yes. Mr. Cheng Mo." Chernabog replied in a low voice.

"So Ms. Chloe's ex-husband is Socrates Onassis?"

"That's right," Czernaberg replied.

Remembering that the dwarf Zorro never mentioned the name "Socrates Onassis" from the beginning to the end, but replaced it with "ex-husband", Cheng Mo smelled a hint of conspiracy. He didn't believe that everything was wrong. It's a coincidence.After going through these days, all kinds of thoughts are spinning in my mind.Several times of thinking failed to find Zorro's flaw, Cheng Mo began to hesitate how he should deal with it.

"Mr. Cheng Mo, the banquet is about to start, why don't we go in?" Chernaberg asked.

Cheng Mo, who was hesitating at the edge of the garden, turned his head to look at Chernabog, the eyes of the robot wearing a ghost mask did not change, making it impossible for Cheng Mo to judge whether he was stepping into a trap.I remembered that it was from Chernaberg's eyes that I judged that the other party was a robot a few days ago, but right now I can't peek into his heart from Chernaberg's eyes, assuming that the robot has a heart.

This really has pros and cons to everything.

"There is no way to escape. Even if it is a trap, I have to jump into it. The bait is my mother-in-law! There is no way to refuse! Now there is another person added to the rescue list. I don't know how happy Athena will be. It's really worth it." Cheng Mo thought to himself, thinking of Zorro's request, Cheng Mo had a headache, he never thought that one day he would get involved in the emotional world of his mother-in-law, this is definitely worse than any conspiracy for him things.

"Anyway, we have to go in first." Cheng Mo thought to himself, he turned his head and said "go" to Chernabog, and stepped up the white jade stairs.The steps were not too long, and in front of the tall arch stood a strong guard holding a golden dagger and not looking sideways.Cheng Mo and Chernaberg stepped into the palace the size of a giant-screen movie hall. The resplendent and resplendent palace was close at hand, and crystal-clear crystal lamps were hung under the resplendent dome by long golden cables, like Radiant magnolias.On both sides of the gate are two rows of golden Roman columns, which look like they are made of pure gold, complementing each other with the golden Venus crystal candlesticks, and a luxurious atmosphere flows in the hall.

It stands to reason that Paul XIV, the host, should come over to say hello to them, or Chloe, who celebrated her birthday, should come over, but no one paid attention to him and Chernaberg.Probably because there are too many people, and they are really irrelevant.

Cheng Mo glanced first, there were people talking in twos and threes everywhere, some were wearing masks, some were not.As far as those without masks are concerned, there are more older ones.

The two walked towards the long table covered with a white tablecloth on the edge of the main hall, on which there were various kinds of snacks and fruits, and many people were eating beside them. You must know that the fruits in Utopia are extremely expensive.

After walking to the table, Cheng Mo asked quietly: "Have you seen Chloe's ex-husband and queen?" Zorro told Cheng Mo to keep an eye on Chloe's ex-husband, who is also his old man, at the ball. Because he was sure that his lascivious and thrill-seeking father-in-law would definitely have an affair with the queen in the palace.Because usually, the old man has no way to enter the palace.

"I'll look for it," Chernaberg said.

Cheng Mo nodded, took two glasses of cocktails from the waiter's tray wearing a shirt vest, handed one to Chernaberg, and whispered, "Tell me if you find it."

Czernaberg accepted the drink and said "yes".Cheng Mo took the wine glass and walked to a Roman column next to him. Under the cover of the Roman column, he took the opportunity to observe other people in the hall with the wine glass.The hall that can accommodate thousands of people is not crowded, and the most eye-catching ones are of course Paul XIV and Chloe Delorme standing in the center.In addition to the two of them, Cheng Mo also saw Joseph Kennedy, the fourth general who was dressed as a farmer in a straw hat, and Kramers, an old man with a white beard in a mage's robe. A group of people were talking and laughing.

Cheng Mo tried to find Yan Funing, Ling and Amedeo, and searched the entire hall with his eyes, Cheng Mo felt a little futile.People wearing masks and people not wearing masks are almost half to half, and only about 300 people came, which is less than one-third of the entire Utopia. It is very likely that none of the three people came.

Not finding the person he was looking for, Cheng Mo diverted his attention to the fruit salad on the table. He put down his wine glass and served an avocado tuna salad that usually costs 30 US dollars, while listening to the people around him chatting , while savoring it carefully.

"I didn't expect Ms. Chloe to attend the ball. Didn't she never participate in any activities?"

"Maybe because it's her birthday today."

"It's not the first time for her to celebrate her birthday in Utopia, and she has never held a dance party before?"

"How old is Ms. Chloe?"

"What does it matter how old you are? In my heart, she will always be a goddess who symbolizes beauty"

"What do you think is the relationship between Ms. Chloe and His Majesty the King?"

"It's hard to say. I only know that Socrates is quite dissatisfied with His Majesty the King."

Cheng Mo shook his head, thinking that the Chosen One would inevitably pay attention to gossip, and thinking that his task was to stir up conflicts between the king and his father-in-law, Cheng Mo couldn't figure out what Zorro's purpose was.

After six o'clock, the ball still hadn't started, and people began to talk about it while waiting. Some people probably realized that the Queen hadn't come yet, something was wrong, and the melon-eaters gradually became excited.

When it was almost 06:30, Paul XIV standing in the center of the hall was already very impatient. Cheng Mo noticed that he urged the guards behind him several times, probably to ask someone to call the queen.

I don't know how many times I went, when Paul XIV raised his hand with a straight face and was about to announce the start of the ball, Chernaberg said in a low voice: "Look, Empress Drovna is here."

Cheng Mo followed Chernabog's line of sight, and at the right rear entrance of the main hall, a blond woman in a golden floor-length dress came in. She wore a crown on her head, and a red cloak hung on her towering chest. Ribbon, followed by several maids.Just when she walked past a Roman column at the end of the hall and was noticed by everyone, the originally noisy palace fell silent instantly.

The people standing on the right back retreated like a tide, leaving a wide passage for the queen.In the eyes of everyone, the queen raised her fair face, like a proud swan, and walked to Paul XIV's side without haste.

The group of people around probably didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so they gave up the position next to Paul XIV, so Drovna and Chloe stood next to Paul XIV, one on the left and one on the right.The mother-in-law, who was wearing a white coat and looked up to the sky, was indeed better than the queen in terms of appearance alone. She was tall and long-legged, and her face was like Athena's, combining the advantages of the East and the West.In contrast, the queen who was still full of aura just now was completely suppressed by Yan.Beside Chloe, who doesn't wear a trace of makeup, is just an ordinary beauty with heavy make-up.The gorgeous golden dress and the shining crown on the head only make people feel tacky.

Cheng Mo looked at the mother-in-law from a distance, thinking that the mother-in-law is too good at taking care of herself, right?According to Athena's age, she is at least 50 years old now, but she looks like she is only about [-] years old. No one will doubt that she is Athena's sister.

"Sorry, I'm a little late." Queen Drovna said she was sorry, but her tone was arrogant. "

From far away, Cheng Mo could smell a strong smell of gunpowder.The super straight steel man Paul XIV hadn't realized the sparkle in Drovna's eyes, and said impatiently: "I'll just wait for you alone. Then I'll announce the start of the ball now."

Drovna waved her hand, stopped Paul XIV, looked left and right, and said in a surprised tone, "Why are they all here? Isn't Chloe's husband, Mr. Onassis, not here yet?"

Paul XIV frowned and said, "Chloe and Onassis have nothing to do with each other. They just collaborated to raise a child."

"They both have a child, and they said it doesn't matter," Drovna said with a light smile, "Chloe is really pure and flawless."

Chloe Delorme ignored Drovna's sarcasm, and just said to Paul XIV lightly: "I have been here today, and the experimental equipment you promised me must not be broken."

Seeing that Chloe Delorme wanted to leave again, Paul XIV said loudly, regardless of his wife's presence, "Today is the light of Europa, the birthday of our beautiful and wise goddess Chloe, thank you Everyone is here, and now I announce the official start of the dance."

The band on the left side of the hall began to play brisk waltz. Paul XIV bowed slightly and said to Chloe: "I hope to invite you to dance the first dance."

Queen Drovna's eyes were burning and her face was frosty, staring at Chloe.

Chloe Delorme didn't pay attention to Paul XIV's graciousness, nor did she look at Empress Drovna who wanted to tear her face apart, and said blankly: "I can't dance."

After speaking, Chloe Delorme walked towards the edge of the hall.Just as Paul XIV was about to catch up, Queen Drovna grabbed his wrist and said coldly, "Don't you think you haven't lost face enough?"

Paul XIV stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked at Empress Dorovna resentfully, he hesitated for a moment, and under Empress Dorovna's angry gaze, he lowered his head and said in a very soft voice next to her ear: "You know , I am for"

Empress Drovna sneered, "Forget it! Don't think that"

Paul XIV had already extended his hand to Empress Drovna, and the two of them approached, made the initial movement of the waltz, and began to dance amidst the applause of the crowd.

Cheng Mo saw Queen Drovna move her lips and say something in Paul XIV's ear, and he approached them calmly, while listening with all his strength, and finally heard Queen Drovna speak clearly in Paul XIV's ear. The words that Bian said softly: "I don't know you as a husband and wife for so many years, I don't want to let you go as a human being, and I don't want to let go of things."

The air was filled with the faint smell of rose aroma, and the ball was still going on. Cheng Mo, who was hiding on the edge of the Roman column, stared at Paul XIV and Queen Drovna who were dancing in light songs, and began to speculate in his heart that Paul XIV What exactly is the "thing" you covet.After the song ended, Paul XIV walked towards Chloe Delorme surrounded by people, while Empress Drovna quickly left the hall.

Cheng Mo looked at the mother-in-law in the crowd, and felt that it was not the best time to meet each other, so he immediately turned his head and whispered to Chernaberg: "You keep an eye on the king and Ms. Chloe, I'm going after Drovna Queen."

Without waiting for Chernaberg to respond, Cheng Mo squeezed out the crowd who were talking loudly, and walked towards the exit on the right rear of the hall.Not far from him, Queen Drovna was holding her skirt in both hands, and walked out the back door quickly.Cheng Mo closed his eyes and memorized the rhythm of Empress Dorovna's high heels hitting the ground, and waited until all the maids who followed Empress Dorovna also entered the back door, and then followed into the back door as if nothing had happened.

The back door is connected to a long corridor, and the glass windows of the corridor are gardens.The night is still and the breeze is stirring the tulips in bloom and the green foliage.Cheng Mo didn't immediately follow Empress Dorovna, but stood outside the glass window pretending to admire the flowers and the moon. After hearing that Empress Dorovna had gone far enough, Cheng Mo slowly walked towards the depths of the palace like a walk .

When he turned a corner in the corridor and reached a staircase, he heard Empress Drovna stop and say, "Don't follow me, go back to Cold Spring Palace, and let me stay here alone for a while." .”

"Yes, queen."

Cheng Mo hurried up the stairs and hid at the corner.It didn't take long for him to hear a group of maids walking by under his feet. They didn't chat, and they walked evenly. They were obviously artificial intelligence robots.After all the maids left, Cheng Mo hurried downstairs, and quietly chased in the direction where Queen Drovna left.

A moment later, his super-strong hearing locked onto Queen Drovna's footsteps again. When he followed to the fountain in the garden, he heard Queen Drovna's screams, as if she had been attacked.

Just when Cheng Mo was hesitating whether he should go forward or not, he heard Empress Drovna's coquettish, "I hate it, it's frightening to death", followed by a mellow and slightly frivolous voice, "Drovna, you are so beautiful today "

There is no doubt that this is the voice of a playboy, and it is his father-in-law.
