Chapter 339 Check-in at the Royal Palace (2)

The maid revealed Ye Nai's background at a glance. Ye Nai thought she had good eyesight. The villagers of Bergen Village didn't know where she came from that day.

Then, she quickly pinched off half of the maid's vocal cords, making her completely mute. She could only open her mouth but could not make a single sound.

Ye Na scratched her ears. This guy really knew how to scream. Even with his vocal cords pinched halfway, the scream was still deadly. The Council Hall had a large dome with a built-in echo effect. Her head was buzzing now.

"Scream, can you still scream?"

The maid lay on the floor, shaking her head in panic and fear.

"Sit up slowly and look around you. Is everyone in the palace here?"

The maid supported herself on the ground with her hands and found that her body was extremely weak and her legs seemed to be non-existent. She opened her eyes wide in great surprise and looked around. After recognizing a few familiar faces, she opened her mouth wide and was about to scream again.

Fortunately, I couldn't scream.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions now. You have to tell me the truth. If you lie in any of them, you'll die."

Yenna suddenly had multiple light machine guns in her hands, and the muzzles were pressed against the maid's forehead.

The maid nodded in panic.

Only then did Ye Na loosen her vocal cords by one third. It was enough for her to be able to speak, but not too loud.

“Why is it so dusty here?”

“It hasn’t been used for years.”

"Why is no one using it? What about your Majesty?"

"They are in another world."

"They? Who else besides His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty and all the princes and ministers are in another world. I heard that if any of the adults came back, they must have made a big mistake and were kicked back by His Majesty and are no longer useful in this life."

"Your Majesty and the ministers have all fled. Aren't you afraid that this country will be invaded and annexed by other countries?"

"No, it's the same in other countries. Many, many years ago, after the alien world was conquered, the kings, nobles and ministers of various countries moved to the alien world."

As the maid spoke, her voice became quieter and she looked at Yenne timidly.

"Has that alien world really been completely conquered?"

Yenne pulled the corner of her mouth in a forced smile.

"What do you say?"

The maid quickly shook her head, "I don't know."

"This is the source of your power. If you move all of it to another world, do you not want the power anymore?"

"I don't know about that. I'm just a maid who cleans the palace."

"You work in the palace every day, don't you have any gossip? Don't you want to go to the other world yourself?"

"I do think so. People say that the other world is better than this one. Otherwise, why do all the big shots go there? But for commoners, it's easiest for men to go there. If they join the army, they will have the opportunity to be stationed in the other world. But it's harder for women. They either have to marry a soldier stationed in the other world, or their father or brother has the ability to take them there."

"What if we don't take these two paths?"

"Spend money, lots of money. I want to go, but I have no money and I can't marry a good man..."

"Is this news known to all civilians in the capital, or is it news that you know because you work in the palace?" Ye Na did not say that the whole country knew about it, but he thought of the villagers in Bergen and the low-level nobles in time. The villagers knew nothing about it, and the male members of the low-level nobles did not seem to be training hard in order to go to Blue Star.

"I don't know about other places, but everyone in the capital knows about it, but they don't let outsiders know. Every family tries every way to get to another world. I joined the palace as a maid so I can earn more money. It's a good job with less work and more money. They only recruit new people when the old ones retire. In order to send me in, my family spent all their savings on gifts everywhere, but it's still too expensive to save money to buy a place with my income."

"If you buy a spot, will someone be responsible for sending you out?"

"Yes, there are special people to pick them up."

"Who? In town? Tell me your name, and preferably your address."

"That person is not here every day. He only comes back once a year. I heard that he comes to bring new soldiers and a group of civilians."

"Now that the autumn harvest is over, has this year's opportunity passed?"

"Not yet. It hasn't started yet. Usually, from the beginning of winter to the two months before the New Year, that person comes one day and takes the person away in a few days."

"Will you come to the capital?"

"Yes, all the troops selected from across the country are gathered in the capital, and they will all leave from the capital."

"Gather all the troops? There should be at least a military camp, right? Do you know where it is?"

"There is a military camp in the south of the city. All civilians who are leaving, including those who are leaving, should gather there in advance."

"You know a lot."

"I really want to go. All the people in the capital want to go."

"But you don't know what benefits there are to going. You just know that the king and the nobles have gone, and you common people want to follow."

"Yes, yes, the place where they go and don't want to come back must be a good place, right?"

"No, the two sides are completely different worlds. There is no wizard culture or magic power over there. This side is your foundation. I also want to know the answer to your question."

The maid looked enlightened, "No wonder we often see wizards walking on the street. It turns out they are not used to it there. Only His Majesty and the big shots go there."

Ye Na said she didn't know, but she had an answer in her heart.

It's still a problem of the huge time difference between the two sides. The powerful and wealthy are reluctant to give up the power in their hands. What they value most in their lives is immortality, living a long life and continuing their rule.

The fighting on Blue Star lasted for fifty years, and three thousand years have passed here. Who wouldn't want to live on Blue Star? As long as all the supplies are supplied from here, wouldn't it be fine? Anyway, the powerful and wealthy can afford it and don't care about the cost of using the core.

She still had many questions, like the ones she had experienced before. Some teleportation platforms were connected to the secret realm and then traveled between Blue Star and the other world, while some teleportation platforms were directly connected to Blue Star and the other world.

She wondered what the difference was?
And according to her only experience, after collecting all the teleportation platforms in the secret realm, the entrance and exit of the secret realm will be closed. What is the principle behind this?
"Have you ever seen a teleportation platform?"

"Yes, I have. They are in the palace."

"Is it in the palace? Where does it lead to?"

"I don't know that. Only the captain of the guard and the soldiers guarding the teleportation platform know."

"Show me who the captain of the guard is." Ye Nai put away the light machine gun, turned his palm, and a gold coin appeared in his palm. "Cooperate well, I won't treat you unfairly."

The maid couldn't take her eyes off the gold coins and sat up using her hands and feet.

"Are you really giving this to me? I only make a little over four silver coins a month."

"More than four silver coins, is that a lot of money?"

"Working in the palace, with lunch included but no accommodation, and without having to serve important people, more than four silver coins is of course a lot. Being a private servant with food and accommodation only costs more than one silver coin a month, and a better job can get two silver coins. If you hire a child in his teens, you can get less than one silver coin."
