The guards in the royal city seemed less strict. Taking advantage of the darkness, Su Mingan and Naluo sneaked into the royal city. Since he had already been here once before, it seemed like he was familiar with it again.
"I don't know where the treasure house is, but I think it's a very private place, not far from the disgusting princess's private laboratory." Naraku felt his way along the wall.
"From this way." Su Mingan pointed directly in the direction.
After approaching the royal city, a red dot suddenly appeared on his map of Praia.
As if the system was guiding him to the treasure house, he walked directly in the direction of the red dot.
"At this."
He squatted down in front of a flower bush.
The map's guidance ends here, but there is no road here.
He carefully rummaged through the flowers and found no other traps, and there was no prompt for clue insight skills.
He looked up.
At this time, it was approaching dawn, and the surroundings gradually began to light up. He could hear the sound of neat armor clashing from the other side of the wall, as if a group of knights were about to patrol over.
He drew the Amber Knife.
"What are you going to do?" Naraku took a step back.
Su Mingan ignored her. He held the handle of the knife with both hands, pointing the blade downward and pointing it at the lawn below.
A faint crackling sound sounded in his ears, and the calm grass blades began to move automatically without wind.
He stared at the lawn below, held the handle with both hands, and suddenly thrust downward with force.
"Bang——"
It was obviously a stabbing blow, but it brought about a violent vibration. Violent wind waves blew from both sides of the blade, grass blades flew, and strong wind blew Naraku's red hair.
"Who is there!"
A torch was raised at the other end of the wall, and the knights noticed the movement here, but there was still some time before they could get around from the other side of the wall.
Su Mingan jumped down from the hole he had pierced.
When he landed on the ground, he knew he had guessed correctly. The treasure house is indeed located in this area, it just requires him to go underground.
The underground seemed very dark and somewhat empty. When he landed, he made an extremely loud sound, which spread far away like thunder.
Naraku followed closely, but her originally light body seemed to be particularly strenuous at this moment. There was even a faint "click" sound when it landed, like the sound of bones colliding.
Su Mingan looked back, and Nai Luo shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
"Is this a plot where the prince lifts the witch's spell for the princess and searches for the treasure?" Her laughter seemed very playful: "I don't think I can be the sleeping princess that holds you back."
"Silence."
Su Mingan's hand flashed and he turned on the flashlight.
The light of the flashlight is much brighter than the oil lamp. With this light, the situation underground can be clearly seen.
Even the secret vault built underground looks particularly elegant and sophisticated. This is a square hall with oil paintings of different landscapes hanging on the walls. The picture shows a winter day with falling snow, a deer jumping in the forest, and a disaster scene caused by a tsunami.
There was a burning smell permeating the ground, and there was also a dusty smell of old wooden structures.
Su Mingan's flashlight turned quickly and found a closed door.
"Go quickly." He rushed over quickly.
Naraku limped behind, and it was obvious that the jump caused injuries to her aging leg bones.
She took out the black bag on her back and took out a fiery red spear.
"This young lady can help you fight. I'm a Su family boy who is incompetent in culture and martial arts." Naraku said half-jokingly.
She looked at her hand holding the spear. On the back of her hand, aging blood vessels were bulging and her fingers were chapped.
She quickly moved her eyes away from above and looked at the door in front of her.
"Bang!"
Su Mingan kicked the door open, and a smell of dust hit her face.
The voices of the knights came from behind, and the firelight shone into the ground, which was the torch they raised.
Su Mingan looked back.
He is not afraid of Princess Tulip, she is very easy to kill in his opinion. However, he still remembered one piece of information.
There are SS-level soul hunters in Praia.
This SS-level soul hunter is waiting in the royal city. He usually does not go out on missions easily and only fights for the safety of Princess Tulip.
This was the news he learned on the first day he arrived in Praia.
Now, Sevia is no longer with him, and Alcherev has also lost news. Being a little more cautious is the best option. You don't have to make a fuss about stealing treasures.
"Come here." He plunged into the darkness.
The round light in the hand illuminates the way forward. This is a long corridor full of dust. It looks like no one has walked through it for a long time, and there are even sticky spider webs.
The two of them were walking quickly in the corridor. Su Mingan released a spatial vibration backwards. With a violent roar, the shouts of the knights behind him were quickly buried by the collapsing stone bricks.
"You are so brave. What if this place collapses?" Naraku glanced at the sealed road behind him and followed Su Ming'an around several turns.
Su Mingan didn't respond to her, he was looking for the right route.
There were underground passages extending in all directions, and Su Mingan tried his best to find places that didn't look so old and seemed like people were walking around. Because there is a high probability that someone will clean the treasure house, and it is impossible to leave no trace at all.
As he walked, he stared at the red dots on the map in his hand.
The distance should be very close. Logically speaking, they have gradually coincided with the location of the treasure house...
Su Mingan raised his head.
He saw an extremely heavy iron door.
The iron gate is like an inlay, embedded in the earthen wall. There seems to be a mechanism behind the iron gate, and it looks very well-defended.
An unlit lamp hung on the earthen wall beside it. A bamboo broom stained with dust lay beside the wall.
...This should be the so-called treasure house.
After a series of turns, it luckily appeared in the direction opposite them.
Naraku on the side had a look of ecstasy in his eyes.
Su Mingan was about to take a step forward when he suddenly heard a voice.
"——There seems to be a sound on the ground. It's those knights. Did you hear it? Sherrod."
Su Mingan stopped suddenly.
Ahead, at the corner, a beautiful voice like an oriole echoed far away. Listening to the voice, you can imagine that this should be an elegant and beautiful girl.
In fact, it is indeed correct.
Su Ming'an knew that the girl in front, at the right corner, 90 degrees away from them and blocked by the earth wall, was Princess Tulip.
It was her voice, he remembered it clearly.
Naraku also became nervous. It seemed that Princess Tulip had given her a very deep fear.
what to do.
Naraku signaled him with his eyes.
If they were to enter that iron gate, their bodies would be exposed at that corner.
Moreover, from the sound, Princess Tulip seems to be walking this way...
"Yes, princess, maybe the knights just passed by here." Another clear male voice came, this was Sherrod's voice.
It seems that Princess Tulip is taking Sherrod, who has just been promoted to a knight of the royal city, to the treasure house.
"It's hard for these knights. They still need to patrol hard at this time." The princess said.
"In order to protect your safety, princess, this is our duty." Sherrod's voice was filled with a smile, which made him sound approachable.
Su Mingan turned around, and there was an extremely long corridor behind her. Even if she turned around immediately and ran back, she would be spotted instantly by Princess Tulip who turned the corner.
Naraku was limping now and couldn't run fast at all...
Su Mingan leaned against the wall and gradually lifted the Sword of Arman in his hand.
He was already thinking about what to do after killing Princess Tulip.
The Amber Sword's space skill has been used, and its lethality is not as strong as the Arman Sword. If the SS-level soul hunter happens not to be with the princess, he can kill him with one sword...
"Sherrod, you are such an excellent knight of light. I regret that I did not meet you earlier." The princess's voice came over.
Su Ming'an pressed against the wall, moved slightly, and moved closer to the corner. Naraku next to him also held his breath and raised the spear in his hand, pointing the tip in that direction.
At this time, the halo of the lantern finally turned the corner, and a figure came out.
Su Mingan just wanted to draw the sword, but found that it was not the princess.
The tall and handsome knight without armor met his eyes.
Xie Lude, who was holding the lamp, looked stunned. He had no idea that Su Lin would appear here in the middle of the night.
Su Mingan didn't know whether to draw his sword for a moment.
If Sherrod gives a warning, Princess Tulip in the rear will run away immediately, and the treasure house may also open the mechanism, making it completely impossible for them to enter.
Xie Lude and him are already complete enemies, and the other party should know about his relationship with the Soul Clan.
The Knight of Light, who hates evil as much as he hates evil, cannot hide and not retaliate when he sees him being sneaky.
Space vibrations have begun to brew in his hands.
"……Princess."
But Xie Lude turned around at this time.
The light of the lantern flickered around the corner, and then drifted back like a cloud.
"I heard the knight's warning. Something must have happened up there." Sherlude turned around and walked towards the princess.
"On the ground? But didn't you just say that they happened to be passing by here?" came the princess's voice.
"The sound of warnings and patrols are different. The underground soundproofing is so good that I heard it wrong just now." Sherlude said: "Princess, maybe we should go back and have a look. It is the time for the sea feast, and we cannot tolerate outsiders who break the rules to step into our Empire."
"Well, in that case, let's go back and take a look." The princess said: "After all, it is my duty to maintain a peaceful and stable sea feast for the gods..."
The halo gradually faded away,
After waiting for a while, Su Ming'an poked his head out. The corridor on the right was already dark.
"Bright Knight?" Naraku followed closely and asked, "I've heard this son-of-a-bitch princess mention it."
"What?" Su Mingan walked to the door and studied the door lock.
He didn't have a key. Looking at his posture, it was difficult to open the iron door. He could only switch to shadow state and grind the door with annihilation.
"It is said that he is the knight who has the most affinity with the light element in the past few decades. The son-of-a-bitch princess was very happy when she mentioned him." Naraku said: "She said, 'It's a pity that I didn't meet him until now. He It was mentioned in the royal prophecy and is most likely to become the legendary warrior. The Pope really sent a treasure to me.'"
Listening to Naluo's words, Su Mingan's tense nerves moved.
"Brave," he said.
"Hmm." Naraku said: "It should be a local story in Praia, similar to the awe-inspiring title of a person who can end disasters? Looking at his appearance just now, he was quite decent, and he even protected you. He looks like a good person."
Su Mingan took back his hand.
"Naraku, please go back along the original path and wait for me somewhere invisible from here. I have something I want to hear."
He no longer plans to use annihilation to break the goal.
He prepared to move in through space, go in alone, and then wait to hear what the princess and Sherrod, the so-called "brave", wanted to do.
"Okay." Naraku shrugged: "Are you sure you don't want my help? Remember my beautiful pearls."
"Go back." Su Mingan said.
Naraku turned around and twirled the red gun in his hand.
She walked back lamely with some difficulty, and gradually lost sight of her figure.
Su Mingan stared at the iron door in front of him and moved in for a moment.
He was still a little worried about the unknown situation behind the door. After all, if it moves into a wall of earth or into a piece of magma, it will be bad luck.
But fortunately, he landed on flat ground.
He didn't see the mountains of gold coins, gems, or other coral treasures that should have been there.
... He saw a pile of iron cages and chains piled on the ground, books scattered on the table, and piles of blood-stained cloth.
He saw many people.
They are generally as skinny as a stick, with sallow complexion and skinny muscles, like an old man in their eighties or nineties. They were lying in cages, or their collarbones were pierced by chains, exposing their bodies stained with blood.
At this time, everyone seemed to be in a coma, and no one made a sound.
There were mottled blood stains on the ground, and there was a layer of bloody handprints trailing on the wall. The air smelled of dust and blood.
Su Mingan quickly stepped forward, flipped through the books on the table, and found that they were stories that recorded the ancient legend of the Siren.
[Human beings who have received the favor of the Siren, in addition to cultivating their 'replacements', can also obtain the sublimation of their souls. 】
[The ancient god Igusius informed them that in addition to their immortal bodies, these lucky ones may be able to preserve their immortal souls by transforming their compatriots...]
Su Mingan realized that this was not a treasure house.
It was the laboratory where Princess Tulip absorbed the life force of others as Naraku mentioned.
He restored the scroll in his hand, and just when he wanted to take a look at the unconscious people, he suddenly heard the sound of unlocking coming from outside the door.
...Come back so soon?
Su Mingan immediately looked around until he found a cabinet.
He opened one of the doors, got in, and quickly closed the cabinet door.
As soon as he entered the closet, footsteps could be heard outside.
Apparently, the princess and Sherrod are back here.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"
There was the sound of chains outside, followed by a burst of men's wails.
"Please, let me go, I really can say anything..."
"Really?" This was Princess Tulip's voice.
The end of her words rose, sounding very high-spirited.
"Really, I will say it, as long as you don't alienate me, don't... don't let me become like others, even if you kill me..." the man begged for mercy.
"Then, continue talking to me." The princess smiled and pulled on the chain, pulling on the man's neck like a dog.
"...about you so-called 'players'."
