Chapter 168: The Missing Player

Although the kingdom of ancient Shambhala is not high in terms of civilization, after all, after so many years, even three days of fishing and two days of drying nets are enough for them to achieve very amazing achievements in some fields, and among them, the most obvious is the architecture of ancient Shambhala.

Under the leadership of Grannie, Gu Moli and Brother Bad followed the large team into the inner city of Ancient Shambhala, and finally came to the center of the city, where a hill rose from the ground, hundreds of steps from the bottom to the top, and at the top of the hill was a splendid palace.

But here's the surprise.

On the other side of this magnificent palace, there is a large black hole, like an abyss with no bottom, one of them is radiant, the other is dark and deep, as if light and darkness, completely occupy the central area of ancient Shambhala, revealing an indescribable sense of ritual.

And just at the bottom of the hill, at the bottom of hundreds of steps, a man in a golden red robe was holding a thick book, looking at Gu Moli and the others with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Gu Moli's professionalism made him immediately think of six big characters.

There's something wrong with these two!

The guy with the book looked like a high-ranking official of Gushambhala, as a high-ranking official, he would definitely not die as easily as the soldiers outside, his life was safe, and he had money, plus he was handsome and lived a long time, and he was a standard golden beetle son-in-law.

As for Granny.... A female pirate, who can she show such a polite appearance?

Who believes in ghosts!

Two lovers? No, it should be unrequited love....!

Gu Mo rolled away from his eyes, and silently hid this information in his heart, don't look at it as if it's useless now, maybe he'll use it in the future?

At this moment, Grannie, who had briefly exchanged a few words, and the man holding the book also ended the conversation, and then walked in the direction of Gu Moli and Brother Bad:

"Several, Lord Imortna will be in charge of taking you to Her Majesty."

"It's an honor to meet you, warriors from the outside."

The man holding the book bowed slightly, and his expression was very elegant: "My name is Imotna, I am the Queen's secretary, and you are already the second batch of warriors to come over." ”

"Second batch?"

Gu Mo raised his eyebrows, and named Waste and Long Aotian are a group, count a batch, count yourself and the bad brother as a batch, and the rest is nothing more than Hua Qiong and Wen Zi as the head.... They didn't come? Wrong.... They couldn't have been brought here and stayed in that big forest, right?

Or did they come in a group with the two who took the name and abolished?

"Both....?"

"Ah, I'm sorry I was a little distracted just now, let me introduce myself, I'm the treasure hunter Ah Leng, this is my partner Ah Bad, fortunately I will ....."

The bad guy next to him widened his eyes.

And the corners of Imotena's mouth twitched slightly, Gu Moli was insincere about this pseudonym, and on the basis of no systematic cognitive shielding, everyone would think that he was perfunctory, but Imotna was the queen's secretary in the end, even so, he still maintained a polite smile.

“... So, Alem... Well, two warriors, please come with me. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

After following Imotna through the stairs and entering the palace at the top, he was greeted by an unusually empty hall, with dozens of figures standing on both sides of the hall, including treasure hunters NP who had seen before, warriors of ancient Shambhala, and the remaining two adventurers.

At the top of the main hall sat a woman dressed in costume.

The woman's face was not visible because of the veil, and she was wearing a large ruby ring on her left hand on the armrest of the chair, and in her right hand she was holding a golden scepter, the surface of which was engraved with a complete picture, presumably of a group of people performing some kind of ritual.

Queen Shambhala?

His gaze fell from the throne to the people in the main hall, and the dark blue eyes that should have been as clear as the sky were now as cold as indifference, not so much a majestic queen as a majestic statue, full of oppressive power, but lifeless.

“.... Her Royal Highness? ”

Imotna's voice was like pressing a switch, and with his soft call, the queen's eyes finally changed, as if winter had gone to spring, the coldness in her eyes quickly melted, and the original sculptural temperament quickly faded, and finally revealed a bit of human flavor.

“.... Guests from the outside world, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Welcome to ancient Shambhala."

"You are the fourth group of guests to come to Shambhala, and as before, I make a formal invitation to you, asking you to stay here and block the 666th reincarnation of the demonic beasts for us, and as a reward, you can receive a gift from Shambhala when you leave."

"Gifts? What gifts? ”

As soon as the words fell, one of the treasure hunters, NP, raised a question, and in the face of this doubt, Queen Shambhala responded in a flat tone:

"The Mystery of Eternal Life."

“......!!!”

In an instant, the breathing of almost everyone in the entire hall couldn't help but become heavy.

Eternal life, for treasure hunters, this is undoubtedly the most perfect treasure, but....

"Why should I trust you?"

A treasure hunter subconsciously asked, and as soon as the words fell, the eyes of the two adventurers in the main hall, Victor the desert ranger and Delin Ike, the undead of the cemetery, fell on each other.

The queen did not answer the question.

But the answer is already obvious.

If the mystery of eternal life really didn't exist, then how could these two old adventurers choose to stay?

“.... If we don't want to, we won't force it. ”

After a long time, the queen's voice sounded again: "Late tomorrow night, the six hundred and sixty-sixth reincarnation will come, and the enchantment of the Demon Forest will also be opened, and you will be able to get the opportunity to leave." ”

"Until then."

"Please consider it a little bit more, distinguished guests."

When she had finished speaking, the queen closed her eyes, and when they opened them again, their dark blue eyes had returned to their original indifference, as if the clear surface of the lake had frozen again.

The entire hall fell silent, and all the treasure hunters who entered Shambhala in the fourth batch, including the players, looked thoughtful.

Until Imotna, as a clerk, walked out of the queue.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"Her Royal Highness has arranged a place for you to live, please come with me, and I and the members of the Guards will be responsible for bringing you there."

“.........”

Before leaving, Gu Moli glanced at the people in the hall for the last time, and also exchanged glances with the name of the waste.

Sure enough, Wenzi Dangtou and Hua Qiong are not there.....

.... So where did they go?
