At this moment, the halo of the lantern finally turned the corner, and a figure walked out.
Su Mingan was about to draw his sword when he discovered that it was not the princess.
The tall, handsome knight without armor was meeting his eyes.
Xie Lude, who was holding a lamp, looked stunned. He never expected that Su Lin would appear here in the middle of the night.
Su Mingan didn't know for a moment whether he should draw his sword.
If Xie Lude gave the warning, Princess Tulip in the back would run away immediately, and the treasure house might also activate the mechanism, making it completely impossible for them to enter.
Xie Lude and he have become complete enemies, and the other party should know that he has a relationship with the Soul Clan.
The Knight of Light, who hated evil, would not hide his true colors when he saw him doing something sneaky.
"……Princess."
But Xie Lude turned his head at this time.
The halo of the lantern flickered around the corner and floated back like a cloud.
"I heard the knight's warning. Something must have happened up there." Shelude turned around and walked towards the princess.
"On the ground? But didn't you just say that they just happened to walk by here?" came the princess' voice.
"The sounds of warning and patrol are different. The underground soundproofing is too good. I heard it wrongly." Xie Lude said, "Princess, maybe we should go back and take a look. Now is the time for the sea feast. We cannot tolerate outsiders who break the rules to enter our royal city."
"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 feast at sea for the Lord God..."
The halo gradually faded away,
After waiting for a while, Su Mingan stuck his head out and found that the corridor on the right was already pitch black.
"The Knight of Light?" Naraku followed closely and said, "I've heard this damn princess mention it before."
"What's going on?" Su Mingan walked to the door and studied the door lock.
"It is said that he is the knight who has the best affinity with the light element in the past few decades. The damn princess was very happy when she mentioned him." Naraku said, "She said, 'It's a pity that I have only met him now. He is the one mentioned in the royal prophecy and is most likely to become a legendary hero. The Pope really sent a treasure to me.'"
Hearing Naraku's words, Su Mingan's tense nerves moved.
"Brave man," he said.
"Hmm." Naraku said, "It should be a local story in Praia, something like the title of someone who can end disasters? Looking at his appearance just now, he seems quite decent and even covered for you. He seems like a good person."
Su Mingan withdrew his hand.
"Naraku, go back the way you came and wait for me where you can't see me from here. I have something to listen to."
He no longer planned to use Annihilation to break through the door.
He prepared to move in through space, go in alone, and then wait to hear what the princess and the so-called "hero" Shelude wanted to do.
"Okay." Naraku shrugged. "Are you sure you don't want my help? Remember my beautiful pearl."
"Go back." Su Mingan said.
Naraku turned around and spun the red gun in his hand.
She limped back with some difficulty, and gradually her figure disappeared from sight.
Su Mingan stared at the iron gate in front of him and moved in.
He was a little worried about what was behind the door. After all, if he moved into a wall of earth or into a lava field, he would be in big trouble.
But fortunately, he landed on flat ground.
He did not see the mountains of gold coins, gems, or other coral treasures that should have been there.
…He saw iron cages and chains piled on the ground, books scattered on the table, and piles of bloodstained cloth.
He saw many people.
They were generally skinny, pale and thin, like old men in their 80s or 90s. They lay in cages or had iron chains piercing their collarbones, revealing their bloodstained bodies.
At this time, everyone seemed to be unconscious and no one made a sound.
Su Mingan realized that this was not a treasure house, but the laboratory that Naraku had mentioned, where the Tulip Princess absorbed the vitality of others.
Just as he was about to take a look at the people who had fainted, he heard the sound of a door being unlocked.
...You're back so soon?
Su Mingan immediately looked around and found the cabinet. He opened one of the doors and went in, then quickly closed the door.
As soon as he entered the closet, he heard footsteps outside. The princess and Shelude returned.
“Ding-Ding-Dang-Dang—”
There was the sound of chains outside, followed by a man's wailing.
"Please, let me go, I will tell you everything..."
"Really?" This was the voice of Princess Tulip.
The end of her voice rose, and she sounded very excited.
"Really, I'll tell you everything, as long as you don't alienate me, don't... don't make me become like others, even if you have to kill me..." the man begged for mercy.
"Then, continue to talk to me." The princess smiled and pulled the chain:
"…About you so-called, 'players'."
