Sitting in the royal hover car that Long Shi Jiandi had sent, Gu Xuanyuan appeared very relaxed. However, Lu Xihua was unable to remain calm. She swayed left and right in the car for a while, feeling very uncomfortable.
The royal hover car was unimpeded along the way … There were no intersections that dared to light up the red light in front of the royal hover car.
In less than 20 minutes, the royal hover car had arrived at the palace, which was the core area of London.
Every base city had its own palace, and Yuzhang City was no exception.
However, when there was no Emperor Sword wielder in this base city, the palace was permanently sealed. Only the cleaning robots were in charge of cleaning the palace. No one else was allowed to enter the palace, not even the chairman of the Sword Committee.
However, the palace did not exist in the real world. Instead, it was located in a Dimensional Gap.
Back then, Kenzu had led the surviving humans to hide in a Dimensional Gap. That was how Yanjing City came to be. The Radiant City was also hidden in a Dimensional Gap. The same was true for the palaces of the various base cities.
However, unlike those naturally formed Dimensional Gaps, the Dimensional Gaps in the base cities were not formed naturally. Instead, they were subsidiary products of the Super Dimensional Protection System.
To this day, humans had not figured out the principle behind it. They only knew that when a Super Dimensional Protection System was built and activated, a small Dimensional Gap would form. This Dimensional Gap was very small, about ten square kilometers. It was unrealistic to build a large human shelter inside it. Moreover, once the Super Dimensional Protection System was destroyed, the Dimensional Gap would disappear.
When the Dimensional Gap was activated again, the entire space would be reset. All the products that had previously existed inside would disappear. Therefore, it was very dangerous for humans to hide inside. If someone destroyed the Super Dimensional Protection System, the humans hiding inside the Dimensional Gap would definitely die.
However, it would be a pity not to use this Dimensional Gap. Later, the fourth human, High Sage Jiandi, decided to use this Dimensional Gap as his palace. He built a huge palace in the Dimensional Gap and made it his personal residence … Anyway, as long as Jiandi was still in the base city, there was almost no possibility of the base city being attacked. There was also no danger of the Super Dimensional Protection System being destroyed. This way, this Dimensional Gap was relatively safe. Moreover, it did not occupy the scarce land in the core area.
With High Sage Jiandi as a demonstration, the later generations of Jiandi imitated him and used this Dimensional Gap as their new palace … In the beginning, due to the lack of human productivity, Jiandi usually chose to inherit the previous Jiandi's palace. They would only build a new palace if the Super Dimensional Protection System had been reset.
Later on, with the development of black technology and the continuous increase in productivity, building a brand new palace didn't require that many resources. Therefore, even if the previous palace wasn't destroyed, the Sword Thearch would forcefully reset the super dimensional protection system and reset the dimensional rift inside, turning it into a brand new piece of land and building a new palace that belonged to him.
The entrance to the palace was directly above the core control room of the Super Dimensional Protection System. Later generations had to build a gate here and combine it with the entrance of the Dimensional Gap, forming the unique characteristics of this city.
For example, the gate of the palace in Yan Jing City was completely modeled after the Tiananmen Gate of the old Yan Jing City. The gate of the palace in Yuzhang City was modeled after the King Teng Pavilion before the Great Destruction. The gate of the palace in London City was a copy of the former Arc de Triomphe … It was said that the Arc de Triomphe was a unique building in ancient Paris. However, London City was equivalent to the gathering of more than half of the survivors of Europe. They came from various countries in Europe. London City was essentially not the London of the Londoners before the Great Destruction, but European London. It was not strange to have the Arc de Triomphe of ancient Paris.
Although the Arc de Triomphe was an important gateway to the palace, there were no other guards at the entrance other than a few staff members who checked personal terminals.
After a simple check and confirmation of Gu Xuanyuan and Lu Xihua's personal terminals, the Arc de Triomphe suddenly opened and welcomed Gu Xuanyuan and Lu Xihua in.
Just like what was mentioned before, the palace was built according to the personal preferences of the Jiandi, and each had their own different styles.
Long Shi Jiandi probably liked the medieval European castle style very much. Therefore, when Gu Xuanyuan and Lu Xihua entered the Arc de Triomphe, they saw a magnificent European castle that covered an area of about 7 to 8 square kilometers. There was even a winding river flowing through the castle, giving people a feeling of returning to the Middle Ages.
This palace castle did not have a gate, nor was there any guard. The royal hovercar carrying Gu Xuanyuan and Lu Xihua directly drove into the castle.
Just like the gate, there were no guards in the castle, only some beautiful women wearing bikinis busily shuttling back and forth.
"Big sister, why is there not a single guard in this palace?" Lu Xihua felt very strange and asked Gu Xuanyuan curiously.
"What do you need guards for?"
Gu Xuanyuan rolled her eyes at Lu Xihua, "The most powerful human in the world lives here. What kind of guards do you think can protect such a human?"
"Eh …" Lu Xihua suddenly became speechless.
The royal hovercar stopped, and a gentleman in a tuxedo took the initiative to open the door and said in a gentle tone, "Welcome beautiful Miss Lu Xihua and Miss Gu Shihan, we meet again!"
"You …" Seeing the gentleman who opened the door for him, although he was already prepared in his heart, Lu Xihua was scared like a frightened rabbit. This gentleman was none other than the black-robed man who tried to overwhelm him last night.
"Let's go inside and talk!" Long Shi Jiandi said with a smile, "This is not the place to talk."
"En!"
Lu Xihua nodded, and under the leadership of Long Shi Jiandi, they walked through the castle for a full ten minutes, until Lu Xihua felt a little dizzy. Finally, they arrived at a huge reception room.
Long Shi Jiandi unceremoniously sat on the most luxurious seat, while Lu Xihua sat on both sides of the seat. Immediately, beautiful women in bikinis came in with all kinds of delicacies, filling the entire tea table, and then left in an orderly manner. Only Long Shi Jiandi, Gu Xuanyuan, and Lu Xihua were left in the entire reception room.
"Please allow me to apologize for yesterday's matter!"
Long Shi Jiandi raised the wine glass in his hand, nodded to Lu Xihua, and said, "I also did not expect that I would happen to meet the two of you there yesterday. I really offended you."
"It's all right!"
Seeing Long Shi Jiandi's attitude was so friendly, Lu Xihua immediately threw away yesterday's dissatisfaction and said, "It's also our fault for inexplicably living in that kind of place."
"Hehe!
This matter has been clearly investigated. It's all that Macbeth's fault. This guy actually muddle-headedly left you in the common area, and didn't know that you were going to stay in the core area. That's why such a ridiculous thing happened.
I decided to deduct his hero coins for this month and divide them equally among the two ladies as compensation for last night's offense! "
"This Long Shi Jiandi really knows how to conduct himself!" Hearing Long Shi Jiandi's words, Gu Xuanyuan sneered in her heart.
Obviously, it was her who went to the brothel, but poor Macbeth's hero coins were deducted. Who should Macbeth find to reason with?
"Well, let's not talk about last night's matter, let's get down to business!"
Long Shi Jiandi took a sip of the wine in his glass and said with a smile, "I don't know, Miss Lu Xihua … Oh, no, it's more appropriate to call you Pavilion Master Lu Xihua at this time.
I don't know, Pavilion Master Lu Xihua, how are you going to express your apology to Yuzhang City, and how are you going to apologize on behalf of your previous Sword Pavilion Master, your master? "
"…" Finally entering the official topic, Lu Xihua took a deep breath. On the way to London, Lu Xihua had already figured out how to deal with this topic. Now, she just needed to summon up the courage to say what she wanted to say.
"Long Shi Jiandi, Your Majesty, I'm afraid you've made a mistake!"
Lu Xihua said in a deep voice, "I'm not here to apologize on behalf of Yuzhang City, let alone on behalf of my master."
"Oh!"
Long Shi Jiandi raised his eyebrows and asked somewhat rudely, "I remember that the notice that Yuzhang City sent to Me clearly stated that you came to apologize to Me. Why don't you admit it now?"
"That was issued by Yuzhang City's disciple, Shi Jueyuan, who stole the authority of Sword Immortal Ling Xu. Now that this shameless disciple is dead, all the notices he issued are invalid.
Your Majesty, you can confirm this with Sword Immortal Ling Xu, "Lu Xihua said seriously.
"Haha!"
Long Shi Jiandi smiled, "It's really interesting. Shi Jueyuan has just sacrificed himself for Yuzhang City, and his body hasn't even stiffened yet, yet Yuzhang City says such a thing. Isn't this too ridiculous and a little too heartless?"
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that His Excellency Shi Jueyuan died at the hands of your master's elder sister, Gu Xuanyuan, and that elder sister Gu Xuanyuan looks exactly like Miss Gu Shihan. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
"Your Majesty, you've gone off-topic. My elder sister and younger brother have nothing to do with this matter!" Gu Xuanyuan said lightly behind Lu Xihua.
"All right!"
Long Shi Jiandi spread out his hands, "Then I'll ask Pavilion Master Lu Xihua to explain to me why you two have come to see Me?"
