Chapter 511 The Blue Palace in Kevin Town
Kevin Town is the most prosperous town in the entire Welsh County. It is called the fashion capital of the Kingdom of England. All the latest clothing and jewelry circulating in the Kingdom of England originate from here. It is also the flower capital of England.
, because a large number of flowers are planted here, and flowers will bloom in any season, making this place immersed in a sea of flowers all year round.
Although Kevin Town is so prosperous, it is not the political center of Wales County, because it is not the county seat of Wales County, it is just an ordinary town. What makes it extraordinary is the Blue Palace of the Prince of Wales.
Located here.
If one were to evaluate the ten weirdest buildings in the entire world of Velen, the Blue Palace of the Prince of Wales would definitely be one of them.
The reason why the Blue Palace is strange is that the entire palace is made of aquamarine from the building to the floor. Aquamarine is not a very expensive material and can be found almost everywhere near the sea.
It’s just that few people use this kind of stone as building materials, because this kind of stone has a very bad characteristic, that is, on hot days, the stone will emit a rancid fish smell, and if it stays like this for a long time
If placed next to the stone, it will cause inexplicable dizziness and headache, so in the past, this stone was also called Hekeba's blood.
Hekeba is a legendary sea monster whose blood is said to be blue and highly poisonous.
Later, through research at the medical school, it was discovered that the main reason why this kind of aquamarine emits a stink is because this stone contains a very tiny fungus plant. When the surrounding temperature reaches a certain level, this plant will odor.
It emits a foul odor, and this plant usually produces a kind of spores. After these spores are inhaled into the body, when accumulated to a certain extent, they will cause some irritation to people, causing dizziness and headaches.
Because of this, when Prince Wales VIII decided to use aquamarine as a palace building material more than a hundred years ago, everyone thought he was crazy. Even the royal family was alarmed and sent doctors to monitor Wales.
Is there really something wrong with Shi VIII's brain?
However, in the end, no fault was found, and Wales VIII still resisted all the pressure and built this palace with aquamarine stone that was completely uninhabitable.
After the palace was built, King Wales VIII did not live in it. Instead, he spent a lot of money to buy various flower seeds from all over the world and planted them around the Blue Palace and around the entire Kaiwen Town.
After he completed this ridiculous act, he suddenly suffered a heart attack and died suddenly, leaving only an empty palace.
Later, Wales IX was naturally not willing to live in a place like the Blue Palace, and because the VIII spent so much to build the Blue Palace, he had financial problems after he succeeded to the throne, and he had no money to demolish the Blue Palace and rebuild it.
, he could only leave the Blue Palace here, and he lived in a property owned by the Prince of Wales in the capital.
Because every summer the Blue Palace emits an extremely unpleasant stench, and the stench spreads all over the surrounding area of Kaiwen Town. If it is at the beach, the stench will not stay for long at all, and will be blown away by the sea breeze.
There is no impact. But this is an inland area and is surrounded by basin terrain. There are rarely strong winds, making this stench linger here all year round and never dissipate.
The people who originally lived here couldn't stand the stench, and they didn't dare to demolish the Blue Palace, so they had no choice but to move to other places. Over time, Kaiwen Town became a deserted town, and the place was completely ruined.
It fell into disuse.
After more than ten years, Prince Wales IX has got rid of the financial crisis, and relying on the accumulation of heritage left by previous Princes of Wales, he has returned to normal status after more than ten years.
With funds at his disposal, King Wales IX naturally began to think of the culprits who had kept him in poverty for more than ten years, so he began to consider demolishing the Blue Palace.
Afterwards, he sent people to Kaiwen Town, where the Blue Palace is located, to survey the terrain and prepare for dismantling.
However, what he didn't expect was that the surveyors who went to the Blue Palace sent someone to report, telling him that the Blue Palace had undergone incredible changes.
At first, King Wales IX did not believe what these surveyors said, so he sent his capable men to Kaiwen Town to check the situation. But a few days later, his capable men also sent people to report, also saying that the Blue Palace had
Incredible changes.
This time, Wales IX began to take it seriously and decided to go to the Blue Palace to check the situation in person.
The next day, Wales IX came to the Blue Palace. Although it was already winter, the weather was extremely hot, not much worse than summer. Originally, Wales IX thought he would smell a smell.
There is a stench, but what I didn’t expect is that not only is there no stench, but there is a fragrance here. After entering Kaiwen Town, it is more like entering a sea of flowers. You can see all kinds of flowers everywhere, and the scenery is unprecedentedly beautiful.
See.
Afterwards, he came to the Blue Palace and discovered that the fragrance he smelled when he entered Kaiwen Town came from the Blue Palace, from the aquamarine stones that were supposed to emit a foul smell.
Make sure that the fragrance will not change, and not only will it not be harmful to the human body, but it will make people feel physically and mentally comfortable.
As a result, Wales IX's original plan to demolish the Blue Palace was also cancelled, and he found that the area around Kevin Town was completely deserted. He expected that if the Blue Palace incident spread, the surrounding land prices would definitely increase, so he immediately
Block the news and secretly start acquiring surrounding land.
However, although Wales IX's actions were as secretive as possible, they were still quickly noticed and the situation in the Blue Palace was discovered.
For a time, everyone's attention was focused on the Blue Palace. Even the royal family sent people to check the situation and later tried to find out the reason why the stench of the aquamarine turned into a fragrant one.
However, after repeated investigations, other than knowing that the smell of aquamarine changed from bad to fragrant because of the surrounding flowers, no other more useful reasons and details could be found.
Afterwards, some people also tried placing aquamarine in flowers to see if there was any change in the aquamarine, but found nothing.
It is precisely because of the changes in the Blue Palace that the speculations of Prince Wales IX came true, making the land in Kevin Town much more expensive. People who originally left also returned to live in the town. Prince Wales also changed the focus of his career development from
The capital was moved to Kaiwen Town, and Kaiwen Town became more and more prosperous.
It is also because the Prince of Wales has been running Kaiwen Town for a long time that his reputation in Kaiwen Town is very high. In Kaiwen Town, the decrees of the Parliament and the king's will may not have much effect, but the prince's orders can definitely be adopted.
Execute faithfully.
When Leo walked out of the train station outside Kaiwen Town, he could feel the love of the entire Kaiwen Town for the Prince of Wales. Whether it was a residence or a shop, he could see a silver flower flag representing the Prince of Wales.
, or the two-headed lion emblem of the Prince of Wales.
With almost no need to inquire further, Leo easily knew from the chatter of the surrounding residents that the Prince of Wales was recuperating in the Blue Palace during this period. At the same time, he also knew why the Prince of Wales had set his sights on him.
It turned out that during a hunting event held by the Prince of Wales not long ago, he was hit in the waist by a fleeing wild boar. At first, he thought it was just a trauma and didn't pay attention to it, but he soon discovered that something was wrong with his body. After inspection, it was found that he
The kidneys were injured in the impact, and because they did not receive timely treatment, they have begun to deteriorate and may become life-threatening in the near future.
At that time, the Prince of Wales had fallen into a coma, and the Princess had to offer a reward for a way to save the Prince. During this period, she tried many methods, but all failed. She found out that a mysterious person met the Princess and handed it to the Princess.
After taking a bottle of medicine, the Prince of Wales' waist injury quickly improved, and he could move freely within a few days.
For powerful people like the Prince of Wales who stand at the top of the kingdom, money and power are no longer very important. A potion that can bring the dead back to life is what they desire most. No one knows whether they will be able to do it next time.
When he encounters a fatal injury, he doesn't know if someone will be able to deliver a life-saving potion to him in time next time, so it is best to have this potion in his own hands.
However, it is obvious that Leo's previous warning has reached the Prince of Wales, and the Prince of Wales should also know Leo's identity and abilities. From the conversations of some local residents, it can be heard that martial law has been imposed in the Blue Palace, and it seems that
There are many Prince Guards stationed in the Blue Palace.
Leo was not in a hurry to cause trouble for the Prince of Wales. Instead, he found a place to stay first and wandered around the scenic spots inside and outside the town in a playful mood.
The trouble he came to the Prince of Wales this time was not a sudden one, but a decision made after careful consideration, because he wanted to take this opportunity to solve some troubles from the official, so as not to disturb him inexplicably in the future.
.
Therefore, he would ask the old butler to reveal his inner sect when someone came to inquire about his whereabouts, and then wait here for the other party to have enough time to prepare. It would be best to involve some people from the Special Bureau, the royal family and the Congress.
Shock everyone, so that you can leave a deep impression on these people.
After that, he stayed in Kaiwen Town for two days. During these two days, soldiers and some people in strange clothes came from outside and entered the Blue Palace. The martial law in the Blue Palace also became more and more strict.
, and even began to impose curfews and identity checks in the town of Kevin.
This move directly caused various activities in Kaiwen Town to stop, and a large number of unknown people fled. Kaiwen Town, which was originally bustling due to the arrival of the flower season, became quiet. At this moment, ordinary residents in the town also felt that something was wrong.
Someone came to the hotel where Leo lived to check his identity on the day he checked in. However, Leo used the witcher's seal to fool the person who checked him. Later, when Leo was walking on the street, someone checked his identity two more times.
This time, the inspection was far more stringent than some important celebrations in the kingdom.
The preparations were almost complete. Logically speaking, Leo should start taking action, but Leo did not go to the Blue Palace as planned. Instead, he ran to the Valley of Flowers to the west of the Blue Palace, like an ordinary tourist.
Playing in the Valley of Flowers.
This flower valley was built by Wales VIII himself. There are a total of six such flower valleys around Kaiwen Town. Most of the various flower seeds collected from various countries were planted in these flower valleys.
It's strange to say that the flower seeds planted in these flower valleys come from all over the world. Each seed adapts to a different climate and environment. Logically speaking, most of these seeds should not germinate and grow, but the amazing thing is that these seeds actually
They have all survived in the Flower Valley, and they are still growing vigorously even without care for more than ten years. Moreover, because the seeds grow and bloom in different seasons, there are flowers blooming in the Flower Valley all year round.
It is precisely because of this abnormal situation in the Flower Valley that the reputation of the Mystery of Flower Growth in the Flower Valley is not as good as that of the Mystery of the Smell of the Blue Palace. Many scholars engaged in plant growth research will come here specifically to observe the plant growth here.
, and many of these people even stayed in hotels outside the Valley of Flowers to facilitate observation and research.
Some people once connected the mystery of the growth of the flowers in the Flower Valley with the mystery of the smell of the Blue Palace, thinking that there must be some connection between the two, which caused the two abnormal situations to occur at the same time.
Unfortunately, there is no evidence to prove this hypothesis. However, when a very famous botanist recorded the blooming cycle of flowers in the Flower Valley, he found that when the weather is hot, the flowers in the Flower Valley seldom bloom, and even some flowers that like the sun rarely bloom.
The tropical flowers will also converge, and this period happens to be the time when the unusual fragrance in the Blue Palace is strongest.
It's just that the research stalled at this point, and subsequent research never found any connection between the two.
Leo had been to another Flower Valley east of Kaiwen Town yesterday. At that time, he was also interested in the Flower Valley after seeing the record about the Flower Valley in the travel brochure, so he went to take a look.
However, what he didn't expect was that after entering the Flower Valley, his mental network discovered some unusual things in the Flower Valley. It was in these Flower Valleys that he discovered the little flower fairy he saw in the Black Forest.
To this day, Leo still has vivid memories of the scene he saw in the Black Forest. Although these little flower fairies were just insignificant dust in front of the golden giant deer, Leo can still clearly remember the appearance of this magical creature.
.
In fact, when Leo was collecting various information, he also collected a lot of information about the legends and mysterious creatures of the Black Forest. What is interesting is that among all the legends, the most stories about the little flower fairy, some of the stories have little flowers in them.
Fairies are very evil and will lead people who stray into the dark forest into deadly traps. Some little flower fairies are very kind. They not only help the lost people leave, but also give them some small gifts.
