Chapter 70: Crystals

Du Shen and the three of them stayed in the Earl's Mansion to recuperate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBy the evening of the next day, three nobles had arrived. Sheldon introduces them to Teressa: the lanky Viscount Sharp, the handsome Viscount Oscar, and the stocky Baron Dorry.

The family territories of these three people are all near the earldom. They are all descendants of wizards who have joined the Shadowkeep at different times as the Guardian family.

Because of the rush of departure and the overnight journey, the three nobles arrived without their families.

In the blink of an eye, night fell. Du Shen and the others finished the boring dinner, took two carriages, and quietly drove out of the city. As soon as they left the city, two horse teams joined to keep the carriage tightly guarded. The convoy drove mightily to the north.

The north is relatively deserted. The convoy soon drove through fields and scattered dwellings into the dense forest. The dense forest area is not large, and then there are a few low hillside meadows. Although it was only early spring, the pastures were still full of lush pastures.

At the end of the pasture, there are large horse sheds and military camps. The barracks are located next to the steep mountain wall. To the north of the barracks, there is no end to the towering mountains.

Escorted by cavalry, two carriages drove into the barracks and stopped in front of the deepest mountain wall. Du Shen jumped out of the carriage and saw two tall iron gates inlaid on the mountain wall. The iron gates were closed, sealing off the rumored gold mines.

Commanded by Earl Sheldon, the accompanying guards opened the iron door and lit the torches. The Count left most of his guards at the entrance of the cave and led only a few of his cronies into the mines.

The mine is deep and gradually shrinking, but it is always relatively spacious. There are many forks in the tunnel. Sheldon was familiar with the road and led Du Shen and the three of them to go deeper.

Du Shen estimated that everyone walked at least 800 meters, and an iron gate appeared in front of them again. The iron gate is not tall or wide, and it looks very heavy. On top of the iron gate, there are four large locks of different styles horizontally.

Sheldon and the other three nobles stepped forward and used the key they were carrying to open an iron lock. They motioned for all their cronies to work together and slowly pushed open the heavy iron door.

The four nobles ordered their respective cronies to stay. They decreed that no one should step through the iron gate in front of them. The four nobles raised torches and led Du Shen and the three of them into the iron gate.

The passage behind the iron gate narrowed noticeably. Although it is always more than one person tall, it can only accommodate three people at the widest point. The seven of them walked all the way, and Du Shen felt that everyone seemed to be going up.

After walking hundreds of meters, an iron gate appeared in front of me again. The four nobles joined forces again to open.

Drilling into the iron gate, Du Shen saw the bright hall. The hall is very high, at least ten meters, and the ground is about 100 meters in diameter. The top of the hall is inlaid with dense fluorescent stones, illuminating the entire space.

Du Shen saw at a glance that a large number of wooden boxes were stacked in the corner of the hall. There are wooden boxes that are open, revealing golden bars and shiny gemstones.

The four of Sheldon pay tribute to Teressa. They say that the wealth in front of them is the result of hundreds of years of surrender from their respective families, specifically for the revival of Shadowkeep. They estimate that the total amount of wealth is at least one million gold flynn.

The crowd didn't pay much attention to the treasure in front of them for too long. In the face of power, gold, silver and jewelry are just floating clouds.

The crowd walked over to a stone wall somewhere. Du Shen noticed that the stone walls were full of colorful abstract patterns. Sheldon reached out and pressed several figures in front of him. The stone wall, which had no gaps, suddenly cracked open a stone door. The door moved slowly to both sides, as if blending into the stone wall, leaving a deep secret passageway.

Garrison is the first to step into the secret passage. Sheldon and the others left the torches outside and followed last.

The new secret passage is even narrower, allowing only one person to walk the entire way. There is fluorescent illumination at the top of the tunnel. Du Shen walked for a while, not feeling depressed at all.

The secret passage is not long, only afraid of less than 100 meters, about arc-shaped. There is no curfew at the end of the passage, which leads directly to another bright hall.

The new hall was empty, and there was no dense pattern on the stone walls. Instead, two metal doors, one large and one small, were erected. At first glance, the metal door looks like a relief, consistent with the color of the rock wall, giving people a faint sense of vicissitudes.

The crowd walked over to the larger door. Four nobles, either from the pendant, or from the ring, or from the bosom. They each took out four gems of different sizes and set them into the holes in the door.

The metal door slowly opened into the hole. The howling mountain wind rushed in front of you. Du Shen saw an open green space. The green space was shrouded in silvery moonlight.

"We're not going in," Garrison motioned to Teresa and Dushen, "you two go in." In the center of the secret realm, there is a stone platform. Transparent crystals are placed on the stone platform. Take one of each of you. Then hunt down the glowing creatures you see. When the crystals are full, find a way back by yourself. ”

Teresa and Du Shen were both inexplicable. Teresa was the first to ask. Garrison says he can't explain more. He just kept urging Du Shen and the two to hurry into the door and come out before dawn.

Du Shen and Teresa stepped side by side through the metal door. The dazzling light shot at them, and the two couldn't help but close their eyes at the same time.

After a short adaptation, Du Shen's eyes widened. Suddenly, he noticed that Teressa's figure had disappeared. Du Shen turned around and looked at the door. He noticed that the gate seemed to be far away and looked a little blurry. Du Shen couldn't see Garrison and the others inside the gate. He felt that the gate was like a glowing piece of paper, fluttering and falling into the depths.

Du Shen turned around and observed his surroundings. He felt like he had entered a strange world. Everything around them glowed faintly. They twist and change at times, as if they are flickering mirrors in a mirror. A second ago, Du Shen thought that there was grass all around. In the blink of an eye, Du Shen noticed that there was an extra river nearby. In the blink of an eye, Du Shen found that the river had disappeared, but a long gravel path had appeared at his feet.

Du Shen thought about it for a while, and did not immediately create ghosts or skeletons to investigate. He stood quietly, intending to get used to it first.

After a long time, Du Shen still couldn't determine his situation. He felt top-heavy. Thinking that everything in front of him was likely to be just a trial, Du Shen moved forward silently.

The scene is constantly changing, sometimes by the sea, sometimes by the forest, sometimes by the wilderness. No matter how it changes, under Du Shen's feet, there will always be a winding road flashing from time to time. Du Shen followed this road and kept moving forward.

Feeling that he hadn't walked for long, Du Shen saw the broken round stone platform. On the stone platform, it is indeed densely covered with transparent crystals. Du Shen ran to the stone platform, picked and picked up, and picked up the largest crystal.

With the crystal in hand, Du Shen pondered how he should hunt the glowing animal. As soon as his thoughts moved, the irregular crystal in his hand suddenly turned into a lightsaber.

Du Shen was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts moved, and the lightsaber actually kept changing its style with his imagination. After several changes, Du Shen determined the style of the lightsaber. He left the stone platform and began to search for animal tracks.

Soon, Du Shen found the figure of a rabbit. The rabbit is fluffy and jumps and hops. Du Shenden rushed forward with a swaying left and right, and pierced it with a sword. The rabbit instantly dispersed into light dust, and seemed to merge into the lightsaber.

Du Shen continued to search, and gradually found a variety of animals: swans, raccoon cats, elk, gray wolves, tigers, lions......

Slowly, Du Shen found that the animals he encountered were getting bigger and more ferocious. Soon, Du Shen encounters creatures that only exist in fantasy, such as Hydra, Kirin, Chimera, and Golden Crow...... There are also many creatures that look strange, and Du Shen can't be called famous at all.

Fortunately, no matter what they looked, the strength of all creatures did not surpass Du Shen much. Despite the frequent attacks, Du Shen only felt severe pain, and his body was not damaged at all.

With the experience of being in the pendant, Du Shen quickly became accustomed to pain. He used the lightsaber in his hand to traumatize the monster bit by bit, and eventually killed it.

The hunt for monsters seems to be a long process. Du Shen couldn't remember how many enemies he had killed. In a daze, Du Shen felt that the lightsaber in his hand was hot, and the light around him suddenly dimmed.

When Du Shen opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in the doorway, facing Garrison and the others, as well as the stone chamber.

"Come out!" Garrison stared at the crystal in Du Shen's hand.

Du Shen turned around and saw that Teresa was standing beside him. The girl looked confused. In her right hand, she held an irregular crystal the size of a pear. The crystal appears to contain a golden liquid, about two-thirds of its volume.

Du Shen looked at the crystal in his hand and found that the entire crystal was golden yellow. Du Shen felt that his crystal was slightly larger than Teresa's. He looked closely, and found that the liquid in the crystal was not actually full, and there was only a trace of it.

Du Shen stepped out of the door. He found that the four of Sheldon looked back and forth, the crystal in Du Shen and Teressa's hands. Most of their eyes were on Teresa's body. The four of Sheldon showed a faint disappointment.

Teresa was keenly aware of the emotions of Sheldon and the others. She couldn't help but bow her head slightly, and clenched the crystal in her hand harder.

Du Shen looked at Garrison, "Shall I exchange crystals with Teressa?"

The four of Sheldon looked at each other and remained silent. Teresa shook her head stubbornly: "I don't want it!"

Garrison was silent for a short time before nodding expressionlessly, "Let's swap then." ”

Du Shen immediately walked towards Teressa. The girl hid her crystal behind her and stepped aside.

"Teresa," Garrison cried out in awe, "you're better than most of your ancestors." It's just that the times are compelling, and if you have the opportunity, you must be better. Crystals are related to your future development. Please don't be willful!"

Garrison's tone grows heavier and heavier. Teresa bit her lip and stopped. She let Du Shen take out the crystal in her hand. She gently held the crystal that Du Shen had stuffed. The girl looked at Du Shen apologetically, and secretly vowed to make amends in the future.
