Chapter 852 Underground Palace
After Aaron left, Shannon finally couldn't help but ask: "Sir, how is the man who controlled the Heart-eating Ghost doing now?"
"He is already dead." Angel said calmly.
The other party was a summoner who exuded an aura of evil and perversion. Although he looked like a young man, he was full of life and his life expectancy was short.
As he expected, the summoner was a wilderness apprentice who had just reached the second level.
At first, Angel was not planning to kill him, but wanted to prevent him from continuing to participate in mortal wars. However, during the negotiation, Angel found that the other party never dared to look at him, and seemed to recognize him. He agreed to Angel's conditions and looked timid.
Originally, he was going to let him go after just beating him, but his eyes were too evasive, which made Angel keep an eye on him, so he used the Nightmare Fear spell to find out the other person's identity.
Underground society of rats and ants.
He is a member of the Rat and Ant Underground Society. As early as two years ago, all the people in the Rat and Ant Underground Society received Angel's portrait, including the Ghost Caller. He recognized Angel's identity and knew that he would never be able to defeat him with his half-experienced skills, so he thought of taking a step back temporarily, returning Angel's news to the underground society, and letting others deal with Angel.
Because of his thoughts and the fact that his identity disgusted Angel, he did not let him go in the end. After getting some words out of his mouth, he killed him directly.
"That extraordinary person is really dead? Great!" Shannon was so excited that he couldn't help himself. There is no extraordinary person to hinder him, which means that Hailan lacks the most powerful arm. When the time comes, he wants to regain the lost ground in the land battle. It will no longer be impossible.
"I have inquired and found out that the actions of the sorcerer apprentice were personal. There is no other extraordinary person in the entire Hailan royal family. Therefore, my promise has been fulfilled." Angele paused: "Therefore, it is you who should fulfill your promise. It’s time.”
Shannon hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Now that the battle in Haiyue City is about to begin, can I end the battle here and then go to the capital with you?"
"I don't have time to waste. Either you take me there, or I go there myself."
Although the result of both choices is that Angel will go to the royal family, God knows what will happen if Angel goes alone. After hesitating for a long time, Shannon still nodded: "Okay, I will take you there."
Shannon called his adjutant into the big tent, made arrangements for the subsequent war preparations, wrote down the order, and prepared to leave with Angel.
Before leaving, Angel paused and pointed to the unconscious child lying on the ground: "He will be stored here first. Keep an eye on him. I will take him away when I return from the capital."
Shannon's eyes lit up: "Sir, do you want to come back here after returning from the capital? Can you pick me up then?"
Angel nodded indifferently.
Shannon was delighted. She had seen the speed of the gondola. It might be possible to go back and forth from here to the capital in one day. In this case, the war here would not be delayed.
Thinking of this, Shannon felt a little more relaxed. She didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Hailan's arm was broken, and it was the time to attack. If the general was absent, the morale of the army might be disordered again.
Since he decided to go, the sooner the better. Shannon finally explained the reasons to General Aaron, then got into the gondola and flew with Angel to the direction of the capital in the thick darkness.
Under the soft moonlight, the beautiful appearance of the gondola seems to blend into one under the starry sky, just like the boat carrying hope in the fairy tale, sliding down the ropeway in the starry sky.
Shannon looked at the stars so close at hand, and the heavy worries that had been hanging in her heart were also dispelled by the beautiful scenery in front of her.
"If nothing unexpected happens, you will return to the military camp tomorrow. In fact, you can rest first. If you want to fight Hailan decisively, you need to maintain your mental and physical strength." Angel's voice reached Shannon's ears.
Shannon looked at Angel and said, "Sir, do you also want the Golden Bird to win?"
"It doesn't matter who wins, but if Jinque wins, Gru Town will have less trouble." Angel said matter-of-factly.
"After this war, I will report to my father to upgrade Gru Town to city level and raise the title of Viscount Pat." Shannon said seriously.
"I hate trouble, and I don't want my relatives to be in trouble." Angel said this, but he did not refuse the reward mentioned by Shannon.
Shannon was stunned and nodded: "I understand."
The topic ended, and Gondola fell into silence for a while. Shannon originally wanted to follow Angel's advice and rest for a while, but what she experienced this day was too ups and downs, and the ups and downs made it difficult for her to sleep for a while.
Finally, Shannon decided to give up her rest. She raised her head and looked at Angel opposite.
She has seen many good-looking people. Even so, she has to admit that Angel has an excellent skin. He has blond hair and blue eyes, and exquisite facial features. His indifferent and distant temperament will definitely impress the women who meet him. Crazy about it. If she hadn't been married and had children, she might have fallen as well.
"What are you looking at?" A clear voice came to Shannon's ears.
Shannon is always embarrassed to say 'I'm looking at you'. She could only pretend to cough dryly and said softly: "I didn't see anything, I was just thinking about something... By the way, that kid that the adults brought back before, who is he?"
"A Hailan man." Angel said softly, leaning on the side of the ship, looking toward the unknown distance.
The child had been following the summoning apprentice named "Ghost Caller" of the Rat Ant Underground Society. Later, after Ghost Caller was hit by the Nightmare Fear Spell, Angel once asked about the child's identity.
Ghost Caller's answer: That was a successor he found.
Angel estimated that the child might be a gifted person. He was only one person short of the guide mission. He originally wanted to train his brother Leon to be a gifted person to join the Savage Cave, but who knew that when he came back, he found that Leon already had an extra mentor. Therefore, if he wanted to complete the guide mission, he had to find another gifted person.
Because Leon's matter was urgent, he didn't have time to run around looking for him. Anyway, the child was found by Ghost Caller not long ago and didn't join the Rat Ant Underground Society, so Angel decided to take him to make up the number.
At four o'clock in the morning, they arrived at Sambia, the capital of the Goldfinch Empire.
Sambia, which was sleeping, was dim. Compared with the Lost Song City, the capital of the Anjou Royal Court, it was a world of difference.
Angell directly landed the gondola at the Shannon Palace. The forced landing of the flying boat startled a large number of guards. Almost the moment the flying boat stopped, it was surrounded by heavily armored guards.
Shannon was the first to get off the gondola, took off her helmet, and revealed her true face.
"It's Princess Tavier! Everyone get out of the way!" The leader of the guards saw the person coming and immediately stopped others from approaching. He walked to Shannon and knelt on one knee to express his submission.
"Commander Sher, take me to see my father. I have something important to report." Shannon's voice was majestic.
The commander of the guards named Sher nodded immediately. Even though the king is resting now, Princess Tavier, as a general who is personally on the expedition, said that she had something urgent to report, which was probably related to the war. No one could or dared to stop her.
At this time, Angell also got off the gondola and put it into the bracelet, which immediately surprised the surrounding guards.
But in the palace with strict hierarchy, no one asked at this time. It was not until Angel and Shannon went to the king's bedroom that the guards who stayed behind came together and discussed in low voices.
...
This is a very gorgeous underground palace.
But if you look closely, you will find that there are many stalactites on the top of this underground palace, which shows that before the underground palace was built, this place itself was an underground cave.
King Shannon's name is Rose. He is a middle-aged man who looks very burly. He has a beard. His fluffy brown hair is pressed down by a magnificent crown because he was called up in the middle of the night. It looks a bit funny.
"Wizard, the treasure house of the underground palace is in front. The stalactites that can drip precious treasure liquid are in the treasure house." Rose pointed to a palace in front and said respectfully to Angel.
Shannon also looked forward curiously. Speaking of which, it was her first time here. Usually only Rose and the dead soldiers could enter here.
Angel took a look and found that the treasure house was built magnificently. However, it was more like a door than a "house" because he had used his mental tentacles to sense that the stalactites were basically in their original state, without any traces of artificial excavation.
Because he knew that the so-called treasure was the liquid dripping from the stalactites, he always extended his mental tentacles along the way to sense the stalactites above his head.
However, to his disappointment, he did not sense any energy fluctuations from beginning to end.
These were very ordinary stalactites.
Even in the treasure house separated by a door, he did not feel any energy fluctuations. His mental tentacles had already explored most of the stalactites inside and found nothing.
He was now wondering if his transaction with Shannon this time was a bit of a loss?
The door of the treasure house was guarded by death warriors wrapped in black armor. Even when they saw Princess Tavier, they did not show respectful eyes. Only when they saw Rose did they lower their heads.
Rose took out the key and unlocked the door.
The door weighing thousands of pounds required the joint efforts of the dead soldiers to push it open.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a cold wind blew out from inside.
Although it was a treasure house, it was basically only stalactites, except for a chain hammer with a unique shape on the high platform in the middle.
According to Rose, the humidity here is relatively high, and other precious treasures are placed in relatively dry places. The core of the entire treasure house is only the stalactite that can drip treasure liquid.
And the location of the stalactite is just above the chain hammer.
