There was a gentle knock on the door. After a pause of a few seconds, Anakin pushed the door open and walked into the slightly dim hall.
The only source of light here was the sunlight that came through the dome glass. It fell vertically into the center of the hall, illuminating a large area, but there were still many places in darkness, and figures standing in them could only be vaguely seen.
"Your Majesty, the transfer of power has been completed, and the contract is here."
Anakin picked up the suitcase and said to Queen Victoria who was not far away.
Because of the special identity of Queen Victoria, her status among the builders is also extremely different. It can be said that she is the leader of the entire Invervig Builders. She also manages the replacement of these builders and provides assistance to other builders.
The Queen sat in a wheelchair and nodded to Anakin. After receiving a response, Anakin picked up the suitcase and walked deeper into the Platinum Palace to seal the blood oath contract permanently.
The footsteps gradually faded away, stepping into the unknown depths. After it became completely quiet, another old voice sounded in the darkness.
"He's a very nice young man, but he doesn't look very friendly. He's like a cold and poisonous snake."
"Their family has been hiding in the shadows, serving Victoria, and he is trustworthy," the Queen responded.
"That's good."
The old man walked out of the shadows. He had taken off his armor and was wearing a loose robe embroidered with cloud patterns. His white beard hung down. The murderous aura was gone and there was a faint smile on his face, as if he was really a kind old grandfather.
If Anakin were here, he would definitely break out in a cold sweat, not because of the old man's identity, but because he did not notice the old man's existence at all. When Anakin was talking to the queen, the old man was standing in the shadow beside him. He did not try to hide his identity, but just stood there, which made Anakin ignore his existence.
"How did you do that?"
"What do you mean?" Zuo Zhen smiled and looked very kind.
"Anakin doesn't look like he noticed you, he wouldn't be careless."
The Queen asked curiously.
As the monarch of Inglvig, the head of the Victoria family, and a member of the Nation Builders, she has great influence throughout the Western world, but like many people, she knows nothing about the mysterious East.
The queen had seen the old man named Zuo Zhen in her childhood, but when she thought carefully, she could not remember anything.
It was as if the memory had been deliberately erased.
"In order to ensure Jiuxia's safety, information hazards are blocked outside of Forgotten Growth. Those who can leave Jiuxia are people like me," Zuo Zhen explained to the queen, "We have undergone special training and strengthening, just like your knights of the Purification Agency. We also have similar characteristics."
"For example, when you walk in a crowd, you will involuntarily ignore those passers-by, right? Think back, can you still remember the appearance of those passers-by you saw?"
"Will you passively turn yourself into a 'passerby'?"
The Queen found it very interesting. Due to Jiuxia's safety, they would always erase all kinds of information about themselves, just like the mysterious scavenger team. This information was somewhat novel to the Queen.
