The star ship passed through the suspended meteorite belt, and light streamed in through the window again. Caesar clicked his tongue and slapped the table.
“This shit is like getting beheaded if you draw the king, and getting beheaded by the king if you draw something else. The most pitiful one is the one who draws the palace eunuch––”
Zoe: “...This is Versailles, not the Forbidden City.”
Caesar breathed a sigh of relief, “Oh, oh. Then, if you draw a noble lady––”
Zoe was apathetic. “Then you will obediently wear women’s clothing.”
Caesar’s expression changed, “What if I end up being called to the bedroom by an abnormal emperor...”
Zoe was getting annoyed, “Who would be f*cking blind enough to spend the night with you? Open your eyes and take a look at yourself!”
Caesar’s eyes opened wide, and he turned back to glance at Wu Jin. He compared the two of them and was relieved.
Wu Jin suddenly realized what they were talking about, and his eyes grew round, “!!!”
The women’s group, the Palace of Versailles––these two tips integrated together, and White Moonlight began their strategic planning in an orderly manner. Having had the experience from the first four elimination matches, Zoe was already very familiar with the process.
“Since it’s the Palace of Versailles, the primary fighting method will be cold metal weapons, including swords, spears, shields, and daggers. There might also be a small number of primitive guns.” Zoe glanced at his teammates, “Little Witch and Ah Lin, the main focus of your training for these two weeks is close combat, with and without equipment.”
Wu Jin quickly agreed.
“Caesar will continue his comprehensive training. Alright,” Zoe paused, “Oh, right, there’s also court dancing. After arriving at the Floating training base, gather together in my dormitory at 11PM every night. Any other questions?”
Everyone all shook their heads simultaneously.
Zoe turned off the projection.
Wu Jin finally looked at the Palace of Versailles in the oil painting and the palace figures that had empty faces. At the start of the competition, they would enter the bodies of these characters. The Sun King, Louis XV, Louis XVI, Queen Mary... going to banquets, hunts, and dances in their stead... as well as participating in their power struggles.
Zoe patted him on the shoulder, “Work hard, little guy, go up and fight like a knight!”
Two hours later, the star ship arrived at the Floating City port.
Passengers and goods were processed to one side of the Star Harbor, while the other side led to Floating City––
The canyon dropped sharply, almost violently, and iron ropes held up stone slabs that created a bridge over the abyss. The suspension car that emerged from the Star Harbor drilled into the thin mist, and their vision was blurred. When the lights leapt out again, everyone took in a deep breath.
Floating City.
The entire city was built in the fog, above the deep ravine. The lights that illuminated the sky came from the gun-carrying law enforcement machines, and the moist air was filled with a light, white orchid fragrance. Many of the pedestrians wore masks, and roadside businesses proudly displayed silver mask emblems on their billboards.
Even though he’d been here before, Wu Jin was still shocked by the sight.
His index finger rubbed gently against the mask badge that the big boss had given him. When witnessing the huge power that Floating City carried with his own eyes once again, Wu Jin had a moment where he couldn’t even distinguish between reality and illusion. He even had an elusive idea amidst his confusion––
