A little fire shone in the darkness, and the candle burned slowly, bringing a glimmer of light to the dark and silent tunnel.

This candle was originally found on the carriage, and it saved Harut the effort of looking for it again.

Looking left and right, there are many cobwebs and gravel marks in this tunnel, and it is obvious that no one has been in this place for many years.

The candle was still burning vigorously, and Harut was not worried about the oxygen.

"Anyway, this tunnel is stronger than I imagined, and after so many years, it has only broken down so much. ”

At this moment, Harut thought of the catacombs of Alabastan, did all royal families like to dig holes near the capital?

Well, that's quite possible.

Thinking of this, Harut nodded secretly, the royal family, how can there be no secrets, maybe this country is hiding some news of ancient weapons or something.

However, Harut also knew that this was nothing more than his own whims.

Ophelia walked forward slowly, holding the candlestick in her hand steadily, her face calm.

However, her heart is not what she seems.

She didn't know the details.

Yes, she just remembered the general route.

But she knew she had to go down this route all at once.

That's where your value lies.

The candlelight flickered, the darkness was like a monster, teeth and claws, and in this claustrophobic space, a sense of tension slowly surged into my heart.

It's instinctive fear.

She struggled to think of other things, trying to distract herself.

Suddenly, a huge force grabbed her right arm, startling her almost to scream, but the familiar body temperature made her calm down instantly.

"What's wrong?"

She subconsciously lowered her voice.

"We've walked about three kilometres, and even if we turn a few corners, it's time to get into the city. Harut didn't answer Ophelia's question directly.

"Yes, Your Excellency, just walk a little longer and you will almost reach one of the exits. Ophelia didn't understand why Harut had suddenly said this, but was just perfunctory to him.

"It's not easy. ”

Harut smiled, tapped his fingers lightly on the wall, and said, "It's not just a passageway, it's a complex underground system. ”

“！？”

Ophelia was stunned for a moment: "Your Excellency, what do you mean ......?"

An unreliable thought suddenly welled up in her heart, could it be that this man could "see" the authentic way? This is too exaggerated, right?

No, no, no, it's not impossible if the other party is a capable person.

Harut obviously understood the noble lady's thoughts, shook his head and said, "I'm not a capable person, but I just explored the tunnel through some special means. ”

Although he is domineering, he can't directly "see" non-living objects, but even if he doesn't perceive the type of non-living objects, he is not much worse in terms of perception.

Just now, he roughly judged the length and size of this tunnel by echoing.

This is not a simple matter, but it is not impossible for him, who has mastered the "return of life" for almost two years.

Of course, that's not the most important thing.

"Now, someone is in the tunnel, be careful. Harut's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to see through it.

"Someone!?" Ophelia was slightly taken aback, who would come here if they had nothing to do? Besides, this is not an existence that ordinary people can know, right?

She instantly became vigilant, and subconsciously covered part of the candlelight with her left hand: "Your Excellency, what do you mean ......?"

She wisely did not give her own opinion directly, but let the other party take the idea.

"Don't be too nervous, the other party is still about a kilometer away from us, well, if you are not afraid, you can turn off the lights and leave, I think they can't finish talking for a while." Harut said slowly.

Darkness is not something difficult to overcome for a domineering master like him, to put it bluntly, seeing and hearing domineering is the sublimation of perception, a domineering master, if you want to, it is not difficult to improve the other five senses.

Just like the vine tiger, people are blind, but they don't have much impact on daily life and battles.

"A kilometer. Ophelia whispered.

One kilometer is not a long distance, although the other party did not notice them because the tunnels are not all straight lines, but if the candlelight is always on, then the other party will definitely notice them.

Wait a minute!

Ophelia suddenly realized something.

If you're not afraid, you can turn off the lights.

I can't finish talking about it for a while.

Does that mean he's going to move on?

He's not afraid of being discovered?

No, since he didn't break in, it means that he didn't want to expose himself too soon, that is, he was confident that he wouldn't be discovered?

It's possible.

But what do they talk about in such a place?

Ophelia tightened her grip on the candlestick, her palms sweating nervously, and she realized that if the mysterious masked man beside her was true, then this hidden conversation would probably be a conversation that would affect the country for some time to come.

So......

What should she do?

Taking a deep breath, Ophelia calmed herself. Trying to keep calm: "Your Excellency, won't the other party find out if the lights are turned off?"

"As long as you don't make a big move, it should be fine. ”

Harut gently shook the candlestick in his hand.

Burst.

The flames were extinguished by the air current, but not a drop of the molten wax fell on Harut's hands, and Ophelia's eyes were a little straight at this scene.

This control......

It's too foul, isn't it?

Where did the strong man come from?

With this in mind, Ophelia stepped forward and gently grabbed Harut's arm while blowing out the candle in her hand.

The world was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Quiescence.

Dark.

Repression.

A fine drop of sweat broke out on Ophelia's forehead.

Myself...... Isn't that a bit reckless?

Feeling the heat from his arm, he tilted his head slightly, even in the dark, he could feel the other party's tense body.

This kind of darkness is still too terrifying for ordinary people.

Although Harut is now powerful to the point of being a monster, he can still understand the other party's thoughts, after all, he was also a weak chicken three or four years ago.

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing strange will come over. ”

Harut comforted the other party.

This is an underground that is not necessarily used once in tens or hundreds of years.

Naturally, it can't be clean here.

There are quite a few spiders, insects, and even unknown snakes here, and the reason why they didn't encounter nature along the way is not a miracle, but Harut disposed of it in secret.

"Oh. ”

A low voice responded, and inexplicably, Ophelia felt a sense of peace of mind in her heart.

This man ......

Very strong!
