Chapter 888 - Future Dynasty Ruler (1/2)
The dynasty’s team had been decided. A group of seven Beyond Grade As was an extremely powerful force, and the number had exceeded Han Xiao and the dynasty’s expectations. The dynasty agreed to the list of members of the team and gathered their fleet to prepare for the battle.
Before dealing with EsGod, they had to first complete the trade with the Arcane Church.
The Arcane Church escort fleet was still on the way, and Han Xiao was awaiting his orders on Planet Crimson Ring. He could take the time out to accompany Nero and the others to explore Planet Crimson Ring.
Planet Crimson Ring was extremely large with plenty of floating cities in the sky. There were many sights that were famous in the universe. Furthermore, Planet Crimson Ring was the origin of the Crimson Dynasty Civilization, and many historical locations from a long time ago were retained.
Under the lead of the tour guide, Han Xiao and the others spent this time exploring many different tourist locations.
Han Xiao belonged to the dynasty faction in his previous life and had naturally explored the mother planet of the dynasty before. Because he was familiar with the situation on the planet, he was not too curious and was mainly there to accompany Nero and the others.
Planet Crimson Ring had plenty of rich mission resources, but to the present Han Xiao, the value of these missions was not great. Furthermore, his current status was different, and his every action would be watched by others. As such, it was impossible for him to become an errand boy for someone else.
Most importantly, there were many familiar missions and characters that had not appeared at this time yet.
Today, their group arrived at the Saint Palace Museum of the dynasty.
This museum was the largest one in the Crimson Dynasty and had objects from every historical period during the development of the Crimson Dynasty.
The Saint Palace Museum was a large garden with dozens of different palaces. The palaces all had different styles to represent the different time period of the dynasty.
The advantage of having the dynasty’s tour guide beside them was that they did not need to queue up or buy an entrance ticket. Han Xiao led Feidin, Reynold, and Reynold to skip the long queue and entered the museum through a special entrance.
Their special privilege drew the attention of those queuing up, and everyone began whispering to each other.
“That seems to be Black Star from the Shattered Star Ring. I saw him on the news before.”
“To think that we’d be able to meet such a bigshot. How lucky.”
“Quick, take a picture!”
These tourists were all extremely excited and took out their cameras to take pictures. A Beyond Grade A Super was an individual who truly held great authority and was completely different from these ordinary galactic residents. Now that they had met Han Xiao, it was like meeting a famous celebrity on the streets.
These tourists came from many different races and civilizations. The Psionic Seal Ring was there to protect the mother planet but not to seal off the mother planet. At the very least, they would not do so during this generation. It was just that every visitor had to go through stringent checks and could only spend a limited time on the planet.
Every year, Planet Crimson Ring would welcome a huge number of tourists to support the local tourist industry. The dynasty was not interested in that little bit of money but in increasing the influence of the dynasty’s culture through tourism.
Han Xiao and the others walked into the museum and entered the main palace under the tour guide’s lead.
Compared to the bustle on the outside, the palace was extremely silent and had a solemn atmosphere.
The main palace described the development direction of the Crimson Dynasty, and everyone listened to the explanation of the tour guide as they looked through the various objects being displayed.
Nero was filled with curiosity toward the dynasty’s history and looked through the introduction of every item. Feidin followed behind Nero and was also pretty interested in the items being displayed. Reynold’s attention was mainly focused on the various ancient machines being displayed. Although these machines were considered outdated compared to the current technology, Reynold was still more interested in these items than the others.
Han Xiao walked the fastest and arrived in front of ten gigantic black stone slabs. The height of the ten stone slabs almost reached the ceiling of the palace, and the history of the Crimson Dynasty was written down from the beginning to now. The development of the Crimson Dynasty had not always been smooth.
The Crimson Dynasty was also once weak and had been through many struggles such as civil war and revolutionary attempts.
The advancement of their genes brought about risk of mutation. The advancement of the machines and artificial intelligence risked the betrayal of the intelligent machines. The use of heavy machines brought about changes to the environment… As their technological skills advanced, the civilization also met many different forks in the road.
There were plenty of other dangers such as the various wormholes, pandemics, exploration wars, and so on. Through the many tribulations that the Crimson Dynasty had experienced, they finally developed their iron-blooded character.
They grew from a weak civilization into one of the rulers in the universe. They had been through plenty of tribulations throughout this period, and the ten stone slabs recorded the price that they had to pay to get there.
In front of the history of an entire civilization, everyone seemed extremely small.
Just when Han Xiao fell into a daze while looking at the stone slabs, an old voice sounded beside him.
“I’m always in awe whenever I see these stone slabs.”
Han Xiao turned around and saw an old man wearing the uniform of the museum. He had a compassionate look in his eyes with his back straight as though he was a soldier.
“That’s right. Every civilization capable of reaching the universe level deserves to be respected,” Han Xiao replied.
The old man then nodded and turned around to look at Han Xiao. With a smile, he said, “Let me introduce myself. I am the vice manager of the Saint Palace museum, Karl Fleur Wishandi. Hello, Your Excellency Black Star.”
“Hello.” Han Xiao also nodded, but his heart began thumping.
Karl Fleur Wishandi? This name sounds so familiar…
Usually, the names that he found familiar would be the famous characters from his previous life. Han Xiao immediately began searching through his database while talking to the vice manager.
Karl was a healthy old man who did not seem too concerned about Han Xiao’s status and talked to Han Xiao on equal grounds.
“I have always been interested in the history of the dynasty and have guarded the museum for many years. I enjoy protecting the items in this place.” Karl stroked the stone slab in front of him and lamented.
Han Xiao glanced at the ‘Do Not Touch’ sign by the side and decided to ignore the vice manager breaking the rules.
“Vice Manager Karl, did you use to be a soldier?”
“That’s right. I served in the Seventh Reconnaissance Corps of the dynasty when I was young and joined in twenty-three battles. I was then transferred to become a long-distance commander before landing an admin job. I served in the army for more than half my life and applied to retire. Then, I became the vice manager of the museum.”
Rather than saying that he was explaining his origins to Han Xiao, it was more like he was talking to himself and reminiscing about the past.
Upon hearing that, Han Xiao’s eyes lit up, and he finally remembered who the person beside him was!
More accurately, the retired soldier beside him was not a famous NPC, but his descendant was famous throughout the universe.
Karl’s surname was ‘Fleur Wishandi’, and one of the future Rulers of the Crimson Dynasty had such a surname!
It was very likely that the future Ruler of the dynasty was the descendant of this old man before him!
It could be said that he had met a large fish this time!
Han Xiao then turned around to look at Nero and Feidin slowly.
They are truly terrifying…
Of course, according to the time, that Dynasty Ruler might not have been born yet. However, there was still value in befriending him, and it could be said that the value was even higher.
Han Xiao then said with a smile, “I joined the dynasty recently, and I am also very curious about the dynasty’s history. I wonder if you will be interested in giving me an introduction?”
“It would be my honor to introduce the dynasty’s history to a Beyond Grade A ally.” Karl laughed heartily.
As a retired soldier of the older generation, he was very willing to narrate the dynasty’s history to others.
