Thales and Gilbert were both shocked.

The sound of the bell rose faintly, rolled in and out, was long and heavy, and shocked people's hearts and minds.

It penetrates the ground and the air at the same time, reaching the underground and the sky.

The echo was deep and lingering for a long time.

Amidst the uneasy neighing of the horses, many royal guards also frowned and looked at each other.

Only Marius at the front remained as calm as ever, picking up the reins and pedaling forward steadily.

"That's..."

Feeling the roaring in his ears, Thales slowly turned to Gilbert as if he was aware of it.

The latter got over his initial surprise and nodded slowly to the prince:

"The Bell of the Stars."

Thales' thoughts moved.

Gilbert sighed: "The last time it sounded, it was..."

"I know."

Thales felt the memories emerging and said blankly:

"Six years ago."

"The State is...a meeting."

But his emotion did not last long, because the team soon turned around the next block and stepped onto another avenue.

It was at this time that Thales noticed:

Unknowingly, they had passed through countless blocks, and the people around them had also drifted away. They were isolated a hundred steps away by the slowly increasing number of security teams, leaving only curious heads and eyes.

Soldiers and guards, security officers and security forces, countless people were already standing neatly in front, either forming their own teams to maintain order, or forming walls to separate passages.

Waiting for guests.

On this side, the road under the feet of the royal guards has become a broad and boundless road.

Of course, at the end of the avenue, the most eye-catching thing is...

Thales breathed in a daze and slowly raised his head.

Saw it.

it.

The classical mottled colors, the endless steps, the thick black palace walls, the majesty rising from the ground, the vicissitudes of the century, and the majesty of the stars.

Fuxing Palace.

This large flat-topped pyramid that had appeared in his dreams countless times was like a giant that walked silently but blocked the sky. It was both foreboding and suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Like overwhelming mountains and seas.

But there was no noise.

Thales stared blankly at the giant palace in front of him, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Passing through the passage formed by the palace guards, the royal guards unconsciously eased their horses' hooves and slowed down.

Until Marius raised his hand, twenty-five royal guards lifted their cloaks.

The silver helmet and bright armor are exposed, reflecting the sunlight.

Hugo, the flag officer, even raised a tall nine-pointed star flag and fluttered in the wind.

In the distance, the people separated outside the isolation line began to make noise.

Countless eyes were directed at these twenty-odd riders, and there was a lot of discussion.

Thales turned his head with a complicated mood, looking at the civilians who were firmly separated on both sides, at the soldiers and guards standing upright around him, and finally at the heart of the kingdom in front of him, separated by the palace wall:

Fuxing Palace.

No one knows his state of mind at the moment, no one can describe his current feelings, no one can describe his current emotions.

He could only open his mouth in silence, lost in thought.

Thoughtful.

If something is lost.

As Thales's team arrived in front of the palace wall, the black mass of city-defending crossbows and magic guns turned around under the hinges and manpower, and there were many sentries and murderous intent.

A nobleman dressed in the same attire as Marius and others came from the palace gate surrounded by a group of soldiers. He raised his right arm and showed his palm towards Thales's team.

In an instant, following Marius's gesture, the twenty-five members of the royal guard gathered their horses. Glover and Doyle even took a step forward and stretched out their hands to lift Thales and Gilbert's mounts.

Stop together.

But at this moment, they all had serious faces and awe-inspiring attitudes.

"Twenty-five members of the Royal Guards, following the king's orders, escort important officials."

Marius's voice rang in front of the Palace Gate Avenue, bounced off the walls of the Fuxing Palace, and echoed on the wide avenue:

"Duke of Star Lake, Prince of Stars, first heir to the Nine-Star Crown and the Supreme Throne, the noble His Highness Thales Bright Star..."

"Already back."

As soon as these words were spoken, everything fell silent.

No matter the guards in front of the palace gate, the sentries on the palace gate, or the security teams on the avenue, everything fell silent.

For a moment, all that could be heard was the clear and calm voice of Mallos, echoing in all directions.

In front of the palace gate, the nobleman who stopped Marius straightened his body and took a step forward.

"Password."

The nobles dressed as royal guards looked at Mallos and said coldly:

"crown?"

Marius slowly rode forward, happily facing the ferocious giant crossbows guarding the city.

He narrowed his eyes and spoke softly, his voice like a gossamer:

"dark."

Thales was slightly shocked.

Time seemed to have stopped for a moment.

Until the noble guarding the palace gate nodded, turned around and waved.

"boom……"

With a deafening roar, the steel noose moved.

The dark palace door in front of Thales trembled fiercely, and with the rhythm of huge force, it slowly started to move, as if it was trying to push away the dust accumulated for thousands of years.

Tearing oneself apart.

Reveal the true appearance of Fuxing Palace.

The setting sun turns into gold.

Just like the sunset that illuminated Fuxing Palace red and bright when Thales became a prince six years ago.

But this time, under the bright sun, Thales just raised his head in confusion.

He looked at the bright and dazzling golden light, falling inch by inch on the outer wall of Fuxing Palace.

But it could only reflect darkness.
