Empire [Rebirth]

Chapter 65

Why did she appear in the Colosseum? Lin Zhen herself couldn't explain why.

There are only two types of challengers in the Colosseum: One is the voluntary person. Such a person will voluntarily join the Colosseum if he is not looking for an exciting way to die, cannot pay off his debts, or cannot afford food and clothing. challenger.

The second is illegal vagrants. This type of person does not have the residence qualifications of the second district. They just cause trouble in the second district and are detained in the Colosseum when they attract the attention of the Colosseum.

Lin Zhen is obviously the second type of person, but not quite.

He followed the route he had agreed with Caesar all the way, fighting all the way, and in the end he couldn't even tell who his opponent was.And he himself did not enter the second area, and the person who brought him into the second area and threw him into the prison car of the Colosseum was none other than the man who was thinking about Caesar on the observation deck that day and was hypnotized by Caesar's spirit— — Duke of Rhodes.

Caesar's mental control over Duke Rhodes did not go deep, and only stayed in the cerebral cortex. Shortly after Caesar and Lin Zhen left, Duke Rhodes who regained his sanity was furious and vowed to throw the two people who teased him into the Colosseum. Alien beast!

After he found Lin Zhen near the high wall, he fulfilled his oath.The reason why the host said that the banker bet on Lin Zhensheng was entirely because the person in charge of transporting Lin Zhen misunderstood what Duke Rhodes said to Lin Zhen: "You'd better survive, this way of death is cheap for you!"

And Duke Rhodes, who watched the whole process of the beast fight, came to the temporary residence of Caesar and Lin Zhen with great interest the next day.

He listened to Caesar's threats, but was looking forward to meeting Caesar—the character inspired by the superficial hypnosis used by Caesar was the real character hidden behind the hypnotized person. Duke Rhodes had a strong desire to be conquered, Born to be masochistic.

When he arrived, it was breakfast time at Neal's house.

Neil was staring at Lin Zhen's clean face in a daze, and when he went to open the door for this distinguished guest, there was still stupid dullness in his eyes.Facing Caesar's defense and unwelcome, Duke Rhodes happily took out the reward Lin Zhen deserved last night, holding the heavy Ghana still with one hand, and looked at Caesar with implied expectation.

"What will you do if I don't pay you?"

His eyes were provocative, and suddenly he felt light on his hand. Lin Zhen took a stack of Ghanaian banknotes with a starship map of the "Levitating Palace" printed on his hand and put it in his hand. He nodded to Duke Rhodes: "Thank you."

Seeing Lin Zhen receiving the money in the space of his bracelet, Caesar snorted, glanced at Duke Rhodes with hot eyes, and said with great interest: "You are the Duke Rhodes this guy said? A relative of the emperor?"

Rhodes said strangely: "You are very interested in the royal family? It's better not to be like this." He looked at Caesar with a smile, and didn't feel offended because the other party didn't understand his identity, but took the initiative to say: "There is no one in blood who can Calling them relatives of the royal family, we are nothing more than gaining glory. Have you ever heard of the king's bond? Although the king doesn't show up in front of people very much, he will elect a queen in a few decades. This is my brother."

"How's the palace?"

"Do you want to go?" Rhode folded his hands on his chest, "It's not a place for sightseeing. However, if you really want to go, there is really no one in the second district who has the qualification to enter and leave the palace except me. gone."

His self-satisfied words made Caesar and Lin Zhen look at him at the same time. Rhodes said: "I have dinner with my brother every month, and sometimes the king will be there." What he didn't say was that the reason why he appeared on the first day In the third district, he went to the Duke of Laian's mansion to pick up a book on ancient culture that his brother wanted to read.

Originally, he didn't need to do this trivial matter, but with the order given by the king himself, the Duke's House had no choice but to show the utmost sincerity.

Caesar asked bluntly, "How many people can you bring?"

Rhodes just shrugged, and answered irrelevantly: "Perhaps, you don't need to go through me, you will enter the palace soon."

"Oh?"

Rhodes pointed upwards, "He's been...you." He pointed to his eyes, and then pointed to Caesar, "For so many years, you are the first time he interfered in the employment of my robot company, Besides my brother, you are the first person who can make him so interested."

Caesar: "Your robot company?"

"Don't you know? The entire second district is a dowry gift from the king to the queen." Rhode exhaled, "My brother is not good at management, so he dumped this mess on me." The tone of complaint was full of joy complacent.

Caesar casually reclined into the chair, resting his hands on the armrests of the chair and beating repeatedly. The surveillance from the 'King' was not surprising, otherwise Caesar would not have borrowed maintenance tools to repair his own optical brain. Small means shielded surveillance.

He thought for a while, then kicked Lin Zhen under the table.

Lin Zhen looked up at him.

Caesar said: "Together or..."

"Together." Lin Zhen said directly.

Acting together may hinder Caesar's plan, but staying at Neil's house means greater variables.And Lin Zhen knew that once he found a way to leave, Caesar would not wait for him to join him.

Caesar did not refuse, nor could he.Lin Zhen didn't understand the limit of life and death of Qi Chong, so he didn't know his concerns. Before this inexplicable bond was resolved, he was destined not to be able to get rid of Lin Zhen.

Confused Neil: "..."

Rhodes who was directly ignored: "!!"

When they got closer, the starship clearly appeared in front of Caesar and Lin Zhen.They knew earlier that this starship was very large, and now they are even more certain that it is not a civilian starship—although the appearance of the starship is lower-key than the civilian starships used in the Federation market, its defensive design and weapons have surpassed The Federation Legion is equipped with too many starships.

This startled Caesar and Lin Zhen.

Especially Caesar.

This starship has not been exposed to the Federation in the next few decades, but this starship, which can be compared to the Federation's current most advanced warship, is not manufactured by the Federation.

So where did this starship come from?Who is its owner?Hundreds of years ago, this starship existed on this planet... Could it be that the disparity in time and space is caused by the black hole?

It seems that only in this way can it make sense, otherwise, hundreds of years ago, there was such a level of starship manufacturing technology, and the technology that the Federation is proud of is just a joke!

A gleam of light slowly fell from the 'royal palace' and spread in front of several people.

The familiar Duke Rhodes took the lead in stepping into the glimmer.If there are other people present, they must be amazed at this time. A group of people walked towards the gate of the palace as if walking through the air, and a floating virtual robot greeted their arrival inside the gate.

"Two distinguished guests, please come this way. Duke Rhodes, please go this way. I heard that you have brought the book that the Queen has dreamed of. The Queen has been waiting for a long time." The robot was comprehensive, and easily dispersed into two forms Guide the three guests to their respective directions.

The interior design of the starship is like a retro palace. There are murals with excellent texture hanging on both sides of the corridor. Every few steps there are statues of different shapes squatting on both sides of the quiet corridor. The only thing they have in common is that they hold An hourglass of varying sizes.Because of the large number, the slight sound of fine sand filtering together makes a refreshing flow sound, as if this can also allow people to capture the traces of time passing.

Stepping into the living room, the first thing that catches the eye is not the man sitting at the head, but the hourglass placed on the long table.

A virtual robot stepped forward and filled the teacup in front of the owner. The sunlight passed through the glazed glass and filled the room. With the rising tea mist, the fragrant tea fragrance was diffused.

The indoor layout is simple, with a few green plants wrapped around the fish tank on the wall, and a large sea lion wandering in it, turning several small vortexes in the water, having a great time playing.

"Please sit down."

The man on the main seat leaned over casually, picked up the teacup and smelled it.

He really likes retro culture very much. Lin Zhen's gaze passed from the teacup in the man's hand and landed on the teapot utensils on the robot tray.

Black teacups engraved with elegant red roses, rich-scented top-quality black tea, butlers with folded suits and collars and white gloves, elegant nobles in black nightgowns serving tea and entertaining guests—all these are only possible in the records of ancient books Appeared, and this moment was vividly presented before his eyes.

Caesar didn’t have the common sense to appreciate, he did whatever he wanted, opened a seat at random and sat down without any regard for strict seating rules and etiquette, when the robot butler was about to remind him, the man waved his hand and said, “Go down.”

"Yes, Master."

He looked at Caesar, "I thought it would take a while before we met, but I didn't expect the two to be friends of Rhodes, but I neglected them."

"Aren't you tired of talking like this?" Caesar looked at him, feeling a little weird for some reason. "You know exactly what we want, and you can just tell us what conditions you want."

"Are young people nowadays so irritable? After leaving for so many years, I don't know what it's like outside. Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to someone." The man's old-fashioned tone did not match his young face, But there is no sense of incongruity.

There is too much wisdom hidden in his eyes. If it were not for the precipitation of years, a man in his prime would not have such a pair of insightful eyes.

Lin Zhen remained silent as usual.

Caesar asked, "What do you want to know?" He then asked, "Are you from the Federation? Which star field?"

"Federation?" The man was surprised. He glanced back at the fish tank and murmured, "Federation, is it already a federation?"

Caesar thought that after so many years, the history of this planet has been longer than the time since the Federation was officially established, and the history that these descendants know is very different from the Federation he lives in, so he said: "It used to be the Star Alliance, the Federation It has only been established for 80 years, and you probably are not used to such a title.”

"Interstellar Alliance?" The man sneered, and said, "It was just a group of rebels more than 300 years ago, and now they have the face to call themselves the Alliance of Justice. It's ridiculous."

Caesar said: "Those are all dead people's affairs, what has nothing to do with you and me, why not talk about—"

"Is it something about the dead, huh, what a pity, I'm still alive." The man murmured coldly, but Caesar could hear it clearly.

He and Lin Zhen looked at each other, and looked suspiciously at the man in front of him.

This man who is championed as the 'King', who controls this planet and owns a starship comparable to the largest in the Federation, said these words at this time...

The man understood the doubts in their hearts, and said nonchalantly, "Why, don't you believe me? If you don't want to die, you can do it too."

"Aren't you implanted with worms? These worms rely on each other's gene activity to survive. If one dies, the other can't survive. But relatively, as long as the activity of one worm is maintained, the other will be able to survive." live."

"If the deeds are continuously transferred to young bodies, then the other host of the deeds...heh."

"You can live forever."
