Chapter 765: Gorden, a Traitor?
Zhong Feng silently praised the effectiveness of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Stone. Creating a mirror image took less than a second, and switching places with the image consumed no time. If used properly, it could serve as a highly cost-effective survival tool.
Zhong Feng didn't linger any longer. He canceled the mirror image that had swapped places with him and leaped over the palace wall, landing inside the imperial grounds.
...
The interior of the Sunfire Imperial Palace was markedly different from the modern architecture outside. Each building inside exuded an ancient, classical ambiance. Although every palace showed signs of renovation, they still maintained the ancient Skrull style—buildings rarely exceeded 50 meters in height, and each pillar was intricately carved with golden patterns.
Every building in the palace was golden. Of course, not all of them were made of pure gold; some were merely painted with golden paint. Nevertheless, the overwhelming golden hue made the entire palace appear especially grand and resplendent.
Zhong Feng was the first human from Blue Star to enter the Sunfire Imperial Palace, and he certainly wouldn't miss this golden opportunity. As he moved forward, he used the camera hanging from his chest to capture the cultural landscape on either side of the path.
The interior of the Sunfire Imperial Palace had not been displayed on Skrull's internet, but many of the structures were masterpieces of ancient Skrull wisdom. These video recordings would hold significant research value.
The palace was heavily patrolled by guards and various light wave detectors. Zhong Feng was always cautious, even in his Stealth state, he carefully avoided these guards and detectors, ensuring he remained undiscovered.
After many twists and turns, he had been carefully advancing for over 20 minutes when he reached a building with an ancient and simple design. This building was frequently used by Emperor Manina—it was his study.
As the most crucial area of the entire palace, the study was heavily guarded, with posts every few steps. Zhong Feng had to be extremely cautious.
Most of the palace's secrets were stored in this study.
While the interior layout of the Sunfire Imperial Palace wasn't available online, Lisa and her subordinates, who handled intelligence, had some knowledge of the palace's internal structure. Thanks to their information, Zhong Feng was able to find the study so quickly.
...
Since he had arrived at his destination, it was time to get to work quickly.
The study's defense was relatively independent from the rest of the palace. A transparent spiritual energy shield surrounded the study. Unlike the golden shields of the palace, the study's shield was a light blue and slightly thicker.
However, this posed no challenge for Zhong Feng, who held the Mirror Flower Water moon stone. He released another mirror image and, in less than two seconds, swapped places with it, entering the shielded area and arriving at the most confidential part of the Sunfire Empire.
...
Upon entering the study, Zhong Feng found that Emperor Manina's study was not as opulent as the exterior decorations suggested. Instead, it had a more modern and lived-in feel.
The outer side of the study was lined with several large bookshelves. However, these bookshelves and their contents seemed to be for show, as many of the books were covered in dust, clearly indicating they hadn't been read in a long time.
On the inner side was a large desk, cluttered with a dozen file folders, a teacup, a teapot, and a voice-controlled AI panel. This was likely where Manina conducted his daily work.
Currently, there were no servants responsible for cleaning, so the study was empty.
After scanning the environment of the study, Zhong Feng began to collect the information he needed from Manina's desk.
Manina's desk was a chaotic mess.
He probably never imagined that Zhong Feng would be able to get this far, so many valuable documents were carelessly left out on the desk.
Manina first examined the dozen or so folders scattered on the desk.
Carefully reading the titles of these folders, Zhong Feng discovered that out of the 16 documents, 10 were about the internal affairs of the Sunlit Empire.
The other six folders included three about the recent online protests organized by the Anti-Alliance, and the remaining three contained specific intelligence on Princess Coco of the Dragon Clan.
These 16 documents were incredibly relevant to current events.
The files in these folders weren't thick, generally ranging from a dozen to a couple of dozen pages each. It would be impossible for Zhong Feng to read through them all in a short time.
So, he decided not to read them at all.
He used his camera to take video recordings of the three folders about the Anti-Alliance protests and the three folders with detailed information on Princess Coco, planning to review them later.
For the important documents about the Sunlit Empire's internal affairs, he selected a few and recorded them as well, intending to study them in more detail later.
The process of taking photos was quick.
The camera he was using had a high frame rate, making each frame crystal clear, so he only needed to flip through the pages in front of the lens to complete the recording.
After finishing with the files, Zhong Feng began to search through the drawers below Manina's desk.
These drawers also contained numerous confidential documents, most of which were about the Sunlit Empire's internal affairs, with a small portion concerning other countries or the Blue Star.
Zhong Feng didn't care much about the others, but he was particularly interested in the folders containing information about the Blue Star.
By browsing these folders, he could gauge how much the Skrull people knew about the Blue Star.
As he browsed through these documents, a trace of worry gradually crept onto Zhong Feng's face.
The Skrull people's understanding of the Blue Star was far deeper than he had imagined.
According to these documents, the Skrull people had a comprehensive grasp of the Blue Star's geography, hydrology, and climate, with their data even more detailed and extensive than what the Blue Star people had due to their advanced technology!
Beyond objective factors like geography, hydrology, and climate, the Skrull people also had a thorough understanding of the Blue Star's military strength.
There were only two major military strongholds on the entire Blue Star that the Skrull people couldn't fully grasp: one was the headquarters of the Blue Star's cultivators—the Yunlu Mountain Giant Spring, and the other was the Blue Star United Government's office.
All other major military zones, departmental headquarters, and military deployments across the continents were essentially laid bare before the Skrull people, as if they were naked.
Zhong Feng was deeply concerned.
But this wasn't his biggest discovery yet.
As he flipped through a folder with a red cover, his pupils dilated sharply.
This folder contained information about the leader of the Pacific Nation—Gordon.
The document stated that Gordon had already arranged 23 high-level combat units in the Pacific Nation, ready to act at any moment. Once Manina issued the command, these units would move to seize all the Blue Star government's military bases in the Americas!
This document made Zhong Feng break out in a cold sweat.
Gordon, the Speaker, was actually in league with the Skrull people?
When did this happen?
Moreover, according to the text in this folder, their alliance wasn't a recent development but had existed for a long time!
Gordon, a traitor?
