Chapter 57 Darkness(2/2)

Zixue asked in surprise: "You still want to leave? No, I won't let you go."

My face sank and I said: "I have to leave. My mother is still there. My mother is a human being. I must take her back to my homeland. Moreover, what I want to tell you is very important. If

If you can't forgive me, I'm afraid..."

Zi Yan sensed the seriousness of the situation and asked, "What needs our forgiveness?"

I looked at the sisters separately and said, "Let's talk after we finish dinner. I don't want to ruin the atmosphere here. I can only tell you that I did something wrong, something that I will regret for the rest of my life." I was in pain.

He closed his eyes, feeling a twinge of pain in his heart.

After hearing what I said, Zi Yan and Zixue looked at each other and stopped talking. From my tone, they understood that what I was about to say must be of great importance.

The delicious meal made everyone happy in a harmonious atmosphere, and the vice dean was even red-faced after drinking. At the end of the day, I went to the table at Songzhi Academy, except for Lianlu who still treated me

Apart from being cold and cold, everyone else admired me very much, and Tian Xing even exchanged some questions with me about the use of Dou Qi.

After lunch, the people from the four major colleges returned to their respective places of residence. Although the exchange competition was over, the remaining three colleges would stay here for a few days for the purpose of exchange.

After returning to the monastery, the others went back to rest, while Zi Yan and Zixue followed me back to the room arranged for me by Xi Lun. Both of them were silent. I knew that they were waiting for me to tell them the truth.

It seemed that it was time to say it. I took a deep breath, sorted out my thoughts, and let the Zi sisters into the room. They sat on the sofa and the bed respectively, looking at me intently. I felt

My heart seemed to be pressed down by a huge boulder, and I was a little breathless.

Zi Yan said: "There are only three of us now, you can talk."

"I……"

Seeing that I was hesitant to speak, Zi Yan encouraged me: "Speak, no matter what it is, you have to say it."

I nodded heavily, gathered up my courage, and said, "Since I separated from you at Stru Fortress last time..."

Dang dang dang, there was a knock on the door. I obviously felt relieved. Zi Yan and Zixue's tense nerves also relaxed. I walked over and opened the door. It was a middle-aged man I didn't recognize. Judging from his appearance,

It can be seen which noble family this person should be.

I asked: "Is something wrong?"

The other party said politely: "Hello, are you Mr. Lei Xiang?"

I nodded and said: "I am."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "That's right, I am a servant of the city lord's family. Our second young master asked me to come to you and ask you to pick up some things."

Something? Ah, it’s gambling money. Didn’t you say at night? It’s still afternoon. No matter what, it’s going to be delayed moment by moment.

"I understand, just wait a moment, I'll be out soon." I turned around and went back to the room and said to them, "I'll go out and get the gambling money I won last time, and I'll talk to you again when I come back, okay?"

Zi Yan rolled her eyes at me and said, "We're going too."

I whispered: "No need, I'll just go alone and I'll be back in a while."

Zixue said: "No, we must go with you, otherwise, what if your wife runs away again. I don't want to wait stupidly for you to come back."

Seeing her on the verge of tears, I couldn't refuse, so I nodded in agreement.

The three of us were led by the middle-aged servant to the city lord's mansion and walked into the hall. To our surprise, the decoration here was very simple, with cheap blue bricks on the floor, and all the furnishings were mainly practical.

Tanaka came up to meet him. He looked very tired, as if he had not recovered from the morning's exertion. He looked at Sister Zixue and said: "Welcome, I didn't expect you to bring two beauties here.

It really makes the walls of our shed shine. Please sit down."

I said coldly: "You're welcome. I'll leave immediately after getting my things. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with."

Tanaka smiled slightly and said, "In that case, fine, please." He turned around and walked towards the inner room.

He took us to the back room and whispered awkwardly: "It's like this. Although my brother is the lord of a city, he doesn't have that many gold coins. You see..."

"You don't need to say more. I think this victory in Tiandu will also make your peripheral gambling stalls make a lot of money. Don't cry poverty to me. Who made you greedy and accepted my bet?"

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Tanaka sighed: "Well, although we did make a lot of money this time, it's really not enough to compensate you. Let's do this. I have more than 30 million in cash here, and you can take care of the rest."

Can you pick out a few treasures from our treasure house to replace them?"

Treasures? If you choose a few good things to please Zixue and the others, maybe it will be easier for them to accept what happened tonight. Thinking of this, I said: "Okay."

Tanaka said: "In that case, I'll give this to you first." As he said that, he took out four cards and a note from his arms. One of the four cards was green, and the rest were blue.

"What is this?" I asked.

Tanaka glanced at me in surprise and said: "This is the most popular savings card in mainland China. The blue one is the most advanced, with an upper limit of 10 million gold coins, and the green one has an upper limit of 5 million. The four cards here are all savings cards.

Full, this kind of card is made by magicians at the level of magisters, and they all have their special ways to use it. There are ways to open it on this piece of paper. You can hold them wherever you are in the realm of the Dragon God.

Get the gold coins. There is an ATM in the house. I will take you to confirm the amount later."

I took the magic card and note and said, "No need, I trust you."

A strange light flashed in Tanaka's eyes, and he said: "Then follow me to the collection warehouse. To be honest, if it wasn't because I owed you too much money, I really wouldn't want to show you those treasures. For this matter, I still

I was scolded by my brother, but for the reputation of our Tian family, I have to do this." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the inner room.

It was an ordinary study room, surrounded by several large bookcases, and a few ordinary calligraphy and paintings hung on the wall. Tanaka took out a book from the upper shelf of the bookcase on the far left. Suddenly, there were three automatic scrolls of calligraphy and painting on the wall.

He stood up. The stone wall behind was exposed. There were three irregular grooves behind the three calligraphy and paintings. Tanaka took out three metal blocks from his arms and inserted them into different grooves. There was a rattling sound, but there was no sound in the study.

Variety.

Tanaka pushed the half-drawn book in again, and the calligraphy and painting fell down, as if nothing happened.

"Follow me." He turned around and left the study. We followed him, walked out of the hall, and walked around to the courtyard at the back. Tanaka walked very quickly, twisting and turning, and took us into the city lord's palace.

In the garden, there was a water jar in the center. When he walked to the water jar, he stopped. He stretched out his hand and groped among the trees next to him. He exerted all his strength, as if he was pulling something. There was a slight vibration, and suddenly in the middle of the water jar,

Bubbles arose. Gradually, a stone altar of about ten square meters rose up. In the center of the stone altar, there was a dark tunnel leading underground.

Zi Yan exclaimed: "What a clever mechanism."

Tanaka glanced at her with some fascination and said: "Here is a collection of treasures accumulated by our ancestors for dozens of generations. Of course it is very secret. If I hadn't opened the mechanism over there just now, this place would not have risen. Outsiders would not know at all.

You may get our three keys, but even if you get them, you won't be able to find this place or the entrance easily. I hope you can forget about this place after picking it up, and don't tell anyone about it, okay?"

I nodded and said, "I will."

Tanaka smiled and said: "I believe in the character of Brother Lei and the two princesses."

Zixue said in surprise: "Do you know our identities?"

Tanaka said: "My brother has the title of hereditary earl and is the lord of the city here. He will always know more than ordinary people. Let's go down." After saying that, he jumped lightly and floated over.

I put my arms around Zi Yan and Zixue's waists and followed them.

Tanaka recited a few spells, and a small flame appeared in his hand. He turned around and said, "Follow my footsteps. Don't make a mistake. There are traps everywhere." After that, he took the lead and walked down.

I said to Zi Yan and Zixue: "Be careful." I followed Tian Zhong's footsteps.

Zi Yan released a light-based lighting technique, which immediately illuminated the tunnel a lot, and she and Zixue followed behind and walked down the tunnel.

When we all got out of the tunnel, I don't know where Tanaka pressed it, and the tunnel mouth closed. The whole tunnel shook. I knew that the entrance had sunk back into the water altar.

The tunnel was winding and winding. There were jagged stones on both sides of the tunnel. Tanaka walked very slowly and carefully. Due to his reminder, we all followed cautiously. After walking for a while, the front suddenly became clear.

The cheerful, small tunnel gradually became wider. Tanaka turned around and said with relief: "Okay, you guys, relax, there are no traps ahead." As he said that, he quickened his pace and walked forward.

After turning two corners, a huge iron gate appeared in front of us.

Tanaka said: "There are hard granite for miles around here. In order to dig out this collection room, my ancestors did not know how much effort it took. This iron door is made of white iron from the deep sea and is as thick as one foot. If it were not

If you know how to open it, even several dragon knight generals can't open it with their hands."

I said with some disbelief: "The combined strength of several dragon knight generals is enough to destroy the world. How come they can't open this iron gate?"

Tanaka said: "Perhaps their strength can indeed break the iron gate, but it will also shake the mechanism at the same time. There are several thousand kilograms of gunpowder under our feet, and tens of thousands of tons of boulders above us. If this place collapses, I am afraid that even the gods will not survive.

.”

Zixue shrank back in fear and said, "Is it so scary?"

Tanaka said proudly: "Of course, the treasures accumulated by our ancestors are beyond your imagination, and they are probably not much better than those in the imperial palace. The cheapest items inside are worth more than 100,000 gold coins, and the best ones are priceless treasures. Brother Lei

, I think this is it, I won’t say anything or introduce you after I enter, and I will let you pick five pieces and see how lucky you are?"

Zi Yan said angrily: "Five pieces, you are too stingy. Are five pieces worth 45 million gold coins?"

I stopped Zi Yan and said, "Forget it, you can't go too far. Besides, it's just a bet. Brother Tian has already paid a lot. Open the door and let's choose five items."

Tanaka looked at me with some gratitude and said: "Thank you, Brother Lei, for understanding my difficulties. The main hub of this iron gate is a gem with an unknown name. My ancestors cast a blood curse at the beginning. Only those with our family blood can

You need to add the key to open it, please wait a moment."

As he spoke, he took out a white stone from his arms and walked over. Standing in front of the stone gate, he seemed to be praying for something, with a very respectful expression. After a while, he stopped praying, bit his middle finger, and wiped it with blood.

A white object was painted red, and then pressed against the iron door without a gap. The blood-red key seeped in as if it had no body.

Starting from today, the update speed of the Good Death will keep up with the public version of Qidian.
