Chapter 1,194 Underground Palace
The carriage drove into this formerly closed underground palace.
This place was opened, and Insadu, who was sealed inside, was also taken away. This is something that Khan knows very well. After all, he has seen Insadu's latest host in the outside world, the demon prince Azad, one of the most powerful people in the world.
Although the combination of Azad and Insadou cannot defeat the magician, Khan will not deny the strength of his opponent. Compared to Insadou's past hosts, and even compared to other warriors Khan had been with or met, Azad was definitely one of the group at the top of the pyramid, even the strongest one.
The reason why Azad was not controlled by Insadou's madness was simply because he himself was even crazier and unpredictable. Furthermore, no matter how crazy Sadu is, its purpose is very clear, it just wants to influence the host and control them to chop other boxes.
But the madness of Azad is that there is no 'pattern' before and after his behavior to refer to. One thing pleases him and he gets a reward from the devil prince; maybe the next time he does something that also pleases him, he will only get his head chopped off.
Sometimes if you offend him, you will die, and sometimes if you offend him, you will only get a laugh. No one can figure out what the devil prince will do next. Even the magician only ensured that he would not die at the opponent's hands.
How did such a person unlock the seal of the underground palace and find Insadu? Khan has always had this question. It also actually asked during the period of contact with Azad.
Of course Insadu did not answer. That guy felt very annoyed and disgusted that he didn't dare to confront Khan head-on.
Azad did answer, but it was the same as not answering, because he did not answer the question. Even Haggiri's unique ability to peek into a person's ongoing thinking was not able to see Azad's original rescue of Insadou from Azad's mind.
This is not so much that Azad has been trained to control his mind, but rather that he did not take seriously the conversation after Haggiri invaded his mind. The last time we encountered a similar situation was when the lich Yufen started a war against the gods. A large number of the Haggiri clan were collected and used for stitching corpses.
Those undead souls with empty minds remained unmoved even though the Haggiri clan's tongues were shining brightly. Even if the Haggiri clan passively cooperates and no longer spends energy to maintain their sharpness, of course they will not cooperate with any stitched corpses to transform their appearance and weight into the most suitable appearance for the host. But those brainless corpses could smash their way out just by smashing them with a box cutter.
Azad's symptoms were similar to those of those stitched corpses. They were all the type who didn't care whether the weapons in their hands could speak or not, they just used the box cutter as a tool. And judging from the aftermath, his results were pretty good.
Now being brought back to this familiar underground palace by the people of the Holy Sword Society, Khan can find part of the truth of the past from the traces left by the environment. Speaking of which, this method was also used by the magician. Since Khan can read people's minds when they are thinking, it is natural that he has seen the entire method and used it.
To put it simply, the way Azad broke into the underground palace was to take the main entrance and break it with amazing destructive power...
It's a surprisingly simple method.
It is said that the construction of this underground palace had Khan's handwriting in it. At the beginning of the construction, the builders certainly thought that if some innocent thief broke in and accidentally released Insado, the gain would outweigh the loss.
The long lives have made Haggiri understand that it is the most meaningless thing to reason with such unscrupulous little thieves. Just hanging a sign to warn newcomers that there is a man-eating monster sealed in the underground palace will not scare away the thieves at all; on the contrary, it will stimulate their desire to go in and find out what is going on.
Therefore, there are many traps designed in the underground palace, some of which can delay people, and some of which can kill people. I remember that there were other suggestions from Haikiri at that time, whether to release some ferocious monsters in the underground palace to expel those daring adventurers.
However, considering that the underground palace will be completely closed, even if the monsters are released, they will not survive for long. If we want to operate the underground palace into a self-sufficient ecosystem, we don't know how many times the scale will need to be expanded. Even the amount of knowledge at the time was not enough to accomplish such a thing.
Speaking of which, the term "ecosystem" came from the mind of the magician, and he also understood how difficult it is to maintain an ecosystem with top predators. If the original suggestion came true, the result would be that all the monsters kept in the underground palace would starve to death before long.
Fortunately, that idea was never planned from the beginning. Regardless of the difficulty of capturing monsters and releasing them into the underground palace; the most important thing is that if there are animals, especially monsters with high intelligence, even if they don't know how to speak human language, communication will not be difficult for the Haggiri clan.
As long as you can communicate, there is a possibility of being defeated by Insado. In the history of Haggiri's arrival in the Lost Land, there have been many non-human hosts. In comparison, it is relatively simple to build some murder traps.
Now all those traps have been destroyed, without exception. It's just that this group of latecomers seem to have reset some traps on certain passages. The lethality of these new traps is currently unknown.
The interior of the underground palace is quite spacious, with a height of at least five floors. Giants or dragons will not feel any inconvenience when walking inside. There are no less than a hundred marble pillars that need to be surrounded by three or four people, erected scatteredly, supporting this underground palace. The ground is a maze, full of traps.
It's just that... the way Demon Prince Azad cracked the maze was a bit unruly. He ignored the thickness of the maze wall, looked for the direction of the end point, and penetrated all the way...
After the Holy Sword Society occupied the underground palace, they did not completely repair the walls of the maze that were penetrated. Instead, some movable magic mechanisms were made to make this straight passage become part of the maze, blocking the visit of uninvited guests.
On the other hand, they themselves don't know what means they can use to keep the passage open. The carriage they were riding in went straight into the core palace of the underground palace without any hindrance.
When entering the core palace, it should have been an empty, monotonous, and deserted space that would make people feel chilly. It was used to place Insado and keep him in eternal loneliness. Now it has been converted into a showroom, where all kinds of weapons are displayed. And they are all hakiri...
There are other living people in the underground palace, and many places have even been modified to be quite comfortable. Living here is by no means a sin. It's just that these people are not wearing boxikiri.
The three people who had just returned also placed their respective boxes on the shelves in the showroom. It's normal to think about it. For a sharp weapon without a scabbard, normal people would put it down whenever they have the chance without worrying about hurting themselves. Not to mention that this weapon can also make noises in his head.
But the khan, the golden ceremonial dagger, is less respected. It was placed haphazardly on a cabinet somewhere, not being taken seriously at all. Then the living people closed the palace door, walked to the living area, and chatted about their topics.
However, Khan, who was left behind, only felt extremely ridiculed.
