Chapter 165 Pre-Match Preparation for the Resurrection Match
"Crack, snap."
The empty corridor was quiet, with only the footsteps of a group of people echoing here. Alai looked at the group of guards surrounding them, and finally couldn't bear the dull atmosphere and said, "Hey, where are you going to take us?"
Just a few minutes ago, ever since Xiao Lan called out Eldridge's name, the cavalry surrounding Lou Bai's group were like robots that had been unplugged, and they instantly became motionless.
It wasn't until Xiao Lan was about to touch them that these cavalrymen who had turned into golden statues... came to life in a hurry?
They got off their horses, turned around and opened the door, and then stood motionless in front of the door, like door gods.
"Are they...inviting us in?"
Watching this scene, Lou Bai touched his chin and turned to look at Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, is this reliable?"
"Well, Uncle Eldridge is a very gentle man!"
Xiaolan nodded happily and walked towards the door at the lead. Seeing this, Lou Bai hurriedly followed, and by the way, he also pulled Alai, who looked reluctant at the side.
After entering the palace, the group of cavalry disappeared, replaced by a group of guards wearing jackets and carrying scimitars at their waists - after all, the corridor was not spacious enough for people to gallop.
"Hey, boss, isn't this a trap?"
Feeling the unique aura of the undead elves in the palace, Alai approached Lou Bai and whispered, "I always have a bad premonition."
Lou Bai didn't say much, he just replied: "Believe in Xiao Lan."
Just when Alai's inner anxiety caused by uneasiness was about to reach its peak, they finally met the owner of this place. As the group of guards pushed open a door, what greeted the three of them was a magnificent hall. At the top of the hall, there is an equally golden throne.
Behind the throne is a sun ring made of gold. On both sides of the ring, there are two glorious columns. In the center of the pillar, the king of this golden city, [Golden Lord - Golden Kingdom Lich] is sitting in the center of the throne.
"Xiao Lan, I remember that I didn't send you a letter of appointment recently?"
Before Lou Bai and the others could say anything, the moment he saw Xiao Lan, Eldridge immediately sat up straight on the throne and asked such a question. Although there was no expression on the golden mask, Lou Bai always felt that Eldridge seemed a little nervous?
Nervous...is this impossible? After all, Xiao Lan is so cute, who would be afraid of Xiao Lan?
"No, Uncle Eldridge!" Xiao Lan stood next to Lou Bai, waved enthusiastically to Eldridge, and said with a smile: "We just happened to bump into him, so come in and see Uncle Eldridge!"
"Oh, that's it."
Eldridge's tense body relaxed visibly. He leaned comfortably on his throne, supported his head with one hand, and said, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved. No, I mean, Xiaolan, you still remember me, I'm very happy."
Hey, you just said the word "relax", right? Definitely say it!
Of course, Eldridge on the throne could not feel Lou Bai's complaints. He turned his gaze to Lou Bai below, looked at him curiously, and asked: "Is that child Xiaolan your current master?"
"Yes, I am Xiaolan's master now." Lou Bai smiled fondly and touched Xiaolan's head: "This kid is still very reliable."
"Is it reliable...?"
There was a hint of disbelief in Eldridge's tone. Looking at Xiaolan and Alai below, he pondered for a while and then said: "Xiaolan, you and this guest should go to the garden behind to have a look. I will chat with your current master for a while."
"All right……"
Seeing the two people who were about to talk about business, Xiaolan was a little reluctant, but she still obediently pulled Alai towards the door. When she just stepped out of the door, her little head stuck in again and said: "Then don't quarrel!"
It wasn't until Xiaolan's figure disappeared completely that the hall returned to silence. Eldridge waved his hand, and the guards outside the door brought in a sofa and placed it behind Lou Bai.
"Please take a seat, this powerful duelist." Eldridge leaned on the throne and said casually: "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you, and I have no reason to be your enemy."
It seems that the little golden man in front of me is very easy to talk to, or is it because of his relationship with Xiaolan that makes him have this attitude? With random thoughts in his mind, Lou Bai sat on the sofa. Well, it's a little high, and it's cold and hard.
"I really can't handle Xiaolan's child." Eldridge, who looked like a big boss, started to exchange "parenting experiences" with Lou Bai. After hesitating for a while, he continued: "But she is still quite good. Pleasant, um, even if a little frivolous.”
"Bad hands and feet...that's true."
Recalling his deck that had been shuffled once, Lou Bai couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, nodded in agreement, and continued: "But when it comes to business, Xiaolan is quite reliable. Rather, My deck really needs Xiaolan.”
"Really? It seems that Xiaolan has found a good master."
After sighing, Eldridge finally got to the point: "So, what is your purpose for coming to my country?"
"At first, it was just an accident."
Because of the conversation just now, the tense atmosphere between the two from the beginning has been relieved. Lou Bai also made his request openly: "Now, I want to ask for directions. I want to see the commander. Pharaoh of the underworld, do you have any connections?”
"Oh? Someone actually took the initiative to find that person? If it's convenient, can you tell me the reason?" Eldridge leaned forward, showing an interesting look.
"There is nothing inconvenient or inconvenient." There was no hesitation on Lou Bai's face, and he said firmly: "I want to get the approval of the Pharaoh King and return to the living world from the underworld."
"Hahahahaha!" After hearing Lou Bai's reason, Eldridge laughed heartily: "Sure enough, anyone recognized by Xiao Lan is not bad. Although your words seem like idiotic talk, but Guang That courage is so precious!”
After laughing for a while, Eldridge stopped and said seriously: "After I met you, I wanted to compete with you to see if you were worthy of Xiaolan's following. But since you are going to do this If it’s something big, then I won’t have any reason to waste your energy.”
Looking at Eldridge's appearance, Lou Bai couldn't help but frown: "Is that Pharaoh so famous?"
"I can only say that he is the king who is above me and rules over all the dead, history and the past."
Eldridge stood up from the throne and sighed: "I can't remember when the person who dared to challenge the king appeared. But this time, I want to witness history with my own eyes. Follow me, young duelist If you want to leave the underworld, then go to that legendary place, [The Valley of the Royal Family’s Rest].”
It's broken, it's the stage for Yin and Xiong to fight!
As soon as he heard this name, Lou Bai's face turned ugly. But after getting to know Eldridge in detail, he had to admit that he might have to go to this place once.
"[The Valley of the King's Sleep] is the gate that separates the underworld from the real world. It is also where the Pharaoh's will lies. If you want to return to the real world, you must pass its test."
These are Eldridge's original words. To explain it in simple and easy-to-understand terms, the underworld is like the community half a year ago, and the "Valley of the Royal Rest" is the gate and security of the community. If you want to leave the community, you must get a note from the neighborhood committee, the Pharaoh.
But the difference is that the neighborhood committee here seems to be in the same place as the security guard?
After taking Xiao Lan and Alai with him, Lou Bai drove the van again towards the destination. But what was different from before was that this time Alai was finally able to sit in the car, and there was one more passenger in the car.
"Is this a product of this world? It's really interesting."
Although he was sitting in the passenger seat, Eldridge still relied on his appearance and aura to make him feel like he was sitting on a throne. Looking at the mechanical creations in front of him, Eldridge commented with interest: "The wonderful idea is similar to my alchemy."
Lou Bai didn't know whether Eldridge was talking about the van or the system itself, so he could only silently sigh that he was awesome. Although he has enough power, he still cannot compare with these immortal species in terms of knowledge reserve.
Just as they were about to exit a canyon, Eldridge suddenly reminded them: "Be prepared, it's going to be daybreak."
"What?"
Lou Bai was stunned for a moment, was it going to be dawn? Isn’t the moon still hanging high in the sky? However, at this moment, the car rushed out of the cave, and Lou Bai seemed to have entered another world for an instant.
It is a brilliant golden sand sea, dotted with emerald green oases, exuding vitality and vitality. Of course, what shocked Lou Bai the most was not the sudden change in the environment, but the sudden appearance of the sun in the sky.
With the blazing fireball as its source, countless rays of sunlight were splashed generously onto the ground, coating everything with a layer of golden brilliance. There is a vibrant atmosphere everywhere, which is completely different from the gloomy scenery I saw on the road just now.
Dazzled by the sudden sunlight, Lou Bai hurriedly stepped on the brakes and stopped the van. Thanks to the unobstructed view of the sand in front of him, Lou Bai didn't lose the first point on his driver's license in the underworld... Oh, there are no traffic police and traffic laws in the underworld, so that's okay.
"The place where the sun shines is where the will of the Pharaoh lies." Looking at the scenery in front of him, Eldridge couldn't help but sigh: "Even we, under the glory of that person, can only have our own It’s just a resting place. Even so, do you want to challenge it?”
"The worst outcome is to be beaten back." Lou Bai's eyes were filled with excitement: "Where to go next?"
Seeing Lou Bai's appearance, Eldridge couldn't help but shook his head. Even if the benevolent king will not kill him, after being defeated by absolute power, some people will catch up, while others will feel despair because of the huge gap and eventually fall into despair. I hope the duelist in front of me is the former.
"Since you are so determined, then go in the direction of the sun."
The entire journey was silent. On the way forward, Lou Bai constantly adjusted his state, hoping to use the best state to meet the next challenge. The car was quiet, and everyone seemed to be affected by the serious atmosphere. Only the wheels made a rustling sound when they pressed against the sand.
"arrive."
After Eldridge said this, the scene in front of him gradually became clear. What stood in front of Lou Bai was a towering canyon, and the sun was still shining at the other end of the canyon. Through the canyon, Lou Bai could vaguely see some triangular buildings, which were the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs, called pyramids.
Seeing this familiar scene, Lou Bai knew that his destination had arrived.
Lou Bai stopped the car, and Xiao Lan and the others got out of the car one after another. Lou Bai took a deep breath, pressed his chest, and resolutely stepped out of the driver's seat.
Just as he stood in front of the canyon, a golden pillar of light fell from the sky. The light made it difficult for him to look directly at it, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes.
In the light appeared a young man with a familiar starfish head. The simple ancient Egyptian costumes draped over him gave off a majestic aura, making people feel as if they were looking directly at the sun.
There were several gold ornaments on his body, which were a symbol of status. On his chest, the thousand-year-old brick hanging gently swayed in the breeze, revealing his identity.
"That's... the Pharaoh."
