Above the Pirate King

Chapter 606
"Found it?" Arthur had a flash of joy in his eyes, followed the voice and looked at Robin, and asked with joy, "Is it the clue or the one that Christine Andrey said just now?" where?"

"Your Majesty, read it for yourself!" Robin handed the open book to Arthur as he said that!

Arthur took the book casually, and under Robin's guidance, he found a description!
On July [-]th, the weather was fine.

The small courtyard next to the rose garden in the northeast corner of the palace disappeared overnight for some unknown reason!

This passage is very simple, and the content looks ordinary!

However, combined with the story told by Christine Andre and the number of years recorded in this book, it can be judged that the yard that Christine Andre was talking about should be this yard!
As it happens, the rose garden is the only one in the palace that hasn't been demolished, or even changed. It has been left since the founding of the country. Two days ago, Arthur went to see the roses inside!
Therefore, he confirmed the current range of that room in an instant!

"Go, go and see!"

Immediately, without the slightest hesitation, Arthur got up, walked out of the study, and headed towards his destination!

Seeing this, Robin also put down his book and followed!

And Christine An Lan, who had just become a personal maid, also followed closely with small steps!

Soon, the group passed through the small half of the palace and came to the rose garden!
The rose garden is beautiful!
The roses inside are not only red, but also white, blue, pink, and even black. It can be said that there are colors in this world, and the roses in this garden also have them!

Of course, at this time, Arthur was not in the mood to look at these colorful and gorgeous roses, but stood in the middle of this small garden with an area of ​​[-] square meters, frowning and looking around!

And the reason why he didn't leave again was because after arriving here, he was a little confused about the direction!
What is written on the record is the two words next to it!

But the side, literally speaking, regardless of the east, west, north and south, as long as they are adjacent, they can be counted as the side!
Therefore, he was a little confused for a while!

However, he soon came out of his confusion and began to think!
"First of all, rule out the west side first! There is a river of flowing water, it was here in the first place, and its history is even longer than the palace, so it must be impossible!" Arthur murmured, ruling out a direction!
Immediately, after thinking for a while, he shook his head again and said, "It's impossible to go to the north. The north has been the workshop of the artisans in the royal palace since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it hasn't changed!"

Speaking of this, Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep thought, "Then... only the south and east are left!"

South or east!
Where is it?
Thinking of this, Arthur rubbed his temples involuntarily!
At this moment, Robin on the side reminded, "Go to the south and have a look. Didn't the east be changed into a forest by His Majesty's father 30 years ago? If there are clues over there, it must be a forest." It's gone!"

Hearing this, Arthur nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, then go to the south to have a look!"

With that said, Arthur walked towards the south!

Soon.

Arthur appeared at the entrance to the east of the Rose Garden!

Walking out of the entrance, Arthur entered the south side of the rose garden!
Here is a group of flat and low palaces called Anxiu Palace.

However, there are not many palaces, only about a dozen or so, and there are not many people, and each of them is very old!

The function here is to provide a living place for those waiters and maids who are relatively old in the palace, can hardly do anything, have no relatives or a home, and don't want to go out!
Honestly, life here is not bad!

After all, they all worked for the palace. Since Arthur took office, he has not treated them badly. He has also satisfied them with food, drink, clothing, and even a professional doctor here!

It can be said that this is a nursing home in a palace!

"His Majesty!"

When Arthur arrived, there happened to be five or six old men playing chess here, and the first time they saw Arthur, they immediately bowed respectfully!
"Free gift!"

Seeing this, Arthur quickly got them up!

After getting up, one of them, with white hair and thin body, looked like the most prestigious old man here, walked up to Arthur and asked, "Your Majesty, what can you do?"

Hearing this, Arthur briefly told them the purpose of the trip!

Of course, what he was talking about was just looking for a treasure that had been lost for a long time in the kingdom, and he didn't say it was a brain in a vat, nor did he talk about the horror story that Christine Andre told!
Well, he was afraid that these old people would have a heart attack, and if he just smoked them, that would be bad!

After listening to it, all the elders looked at each other after carefully recalling it for a while, shook their heads, and replied, "Your Majesty, we have never heard of these things!"

"That's it"

The answer was not what Arthur expected!

Although these old people are very old, there is still a long time gap from the founding period, so it is normal for them not to know!
"Then who do you think might know? Or is that place most likely the one I mentioned?" Arthur asked again.

"Possibly known or possible place" After careful consideration, all the elders shook their heads again.

The skinny old man stepped forward and responded, "Your Majesty, we really haven't heard of it, and we don't know who would know, and we don't know which place is more likely!"

As soon as the words fell, the skinny old man seemed to think of something, and exclaimed, "By the way, Your Majesty, I know that there is one person who might know!"

"Oh?"

When Arthur heard it, he said with surprise on his face, "Tell me, who is it?"

"Here, Kenta Momota, who is the oldest and most qualified, used to be the head waiter in the palace!" the skinny old man said solemnly.

"Take me to him!" Arthur said without hesitation.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The skinny old man nodded and led the way swiftly.

And under his leadership, Arthur and his party came to a secluded courtyard with all kinds of twists and turns!
"Dong dong!"

The skinny old man knocked on the door!
"Come in!"

There was a loud voice from inside!

"Squeak!"

As the skinny old man pushed open the door, a short stature, wearing a kimono, no hair, a kind face, and watering flowers appeared in front of Arthur!
"His Majesty!"

After seeing the person coming, Momota Kenta hastily put down the kettle in his hand, and said respectfully.

"Free gift!"

After Arthur waved his hand, he directly entered the topic, briefly explained the reason for the matter, and asked, "Do you know?"

After Momota Kenta was silent for a while, he said hesitantly, "Your Majesty is talking about the brain in a vat incident?"

Upon hearing this, Arthur was overjoyed!
