Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Mysterious Passage

"Ilte, look there!"

Alan pointed to a place in the lower right corner of the Black Curtain Stone, and Ilt jumped up, climbed the high platform, and came to the Black Curtain Stone.

In the place that Eren was pointing to, there was a very thin crack that could not be seen at all without looking closely. With a strong push with his left hand, the curtain stone at the crack and a half-human-high passage entrance appeared in front of the three of them

"Wow, what is this, hidden so hidden, looking at the direction, it seems to be a walkway all the way down, it should be a cellar. Tia, is it an underground storage room? ”

Ilt looked at the dark entrance and asked, behind him Tia and Alan glanced at each other, thinking of what the white staff spirit said before, maybe this is the underground palace that the spirit said, the leader in the dark led them here, it seems that they must go down to find out.

The entrance was narrow and low, allowing only an adult to bend down to enter, and if it weren't for Allen's sharp eyes, it would have been impossible to find such a hidden entrance on a whole dark curtain stone. In order to detect danger and illumination, Ilt snapped his fingers, and a flying spirit of light appeared in front of the three of them and flew into the hallway. The three of them lined up in a column, led by Allen, and Ilte cushioned behind, and entered the passage.

The space inside the passage was much larger than the entrance, and the three of them could straighten up and move forward, while Tia and Eren could already move forward side by side.

At the beginning, it was obvious that the passage was going all the way down, and the spirit of light was still spinning and jumping ahead. But as it went deeper, it seemed that the passage began to go up again.

I don't know how long they walked like this, but Alan and the others finally came to an end. The exit was above Alan's head, but it seemed to be blocked by something.

Alan touched with both hands,

"It should just be an ordinary slate."

Ilt raised his left hand and pushed hard, and the stone slab blocking the exit was removed, and a lawn appeared in front of them, and behind them was the walls of the royal city.

"We actually went outside the royal city?"

Ilt looked back at the tunnels that had led them all the way, and the spirit of light vanished.

"How can this be anything?"

Tia was puzzled. Alan looked around and saw that not far from the lawn where they were located, there was a very inconspicuous little grass hut. The three of them walked into the hut and found that there was only a table and a journal inside. Tia opened the journal and read it carefully.

"Today is the first day I built the barrier here, the barrier of Athenia must be rebuilt after a hundred years of baptism, I want to protect this place, this is also what I must do"

……

"Today, it is the one hundred and twenty-sixth day, and the enchantment is much more stable than before, and I can't tell King John what I am doing now, borrowing divine power to complete the enchantment, which is not allowed by the royal law of the Stewart Kingdom. However, I have no choice, if this continues, the barrier of Atinia will disappear sooner or later, and when the time comes, how dangerous Tia will be, and how dangerous the royal city will be

……

"Today, the 224th day, the reinforcement of the barrier is nearing completion, thank you for guiding me here, I can do my part for the royal city, the king and princess, Nissa is grateful."

"Nissa, it's Nissa's journal!"

Tia found it strange that the ever-conformist Medaril would do something unthinkable outside of the royal city.

"It seems that the chief priest of Medariel must have received some kind of information to know that the barrier of the royal city is about to collapse, and the junction where this thatched hut is located is estimated to be the best fulcrum for building the enchantment, and from here it connects the 'hidden gate' and 'purification gate' in the royal city and the 'eye of Atynia' at the top of the 'golden temple', forming a 'M' shape, with the 'golden temple' as the center, the unfolding enchantment envelopes the entire central part of the royal city."

The head of Ilt is the analysis of the Tao,

"It is completely impossible to accomplish such a huge enchantment by one person alone."

"So she must have borrowed some other outside force, probably ...... Power. ”

Alan took Ilte's words, but was very puzzled in his heart.

In the entire royal capital, there is only Tia who is known to have divine power, and Tia's divine power has been sealed in the Eternal Pendant by the hands of Medaril and her parents, so where did she get the divine power Ilt looked at Eren and crossed her hands on her chest,

"What's wrong?"

Alan was uncomfortable with him,

"I'll just say that you have something to hide from me, what did His Highness John tell you yesterday?"

"We have something to hide from you, and you also have something to hide from us, we said that we would have a showdown when we entered the royal capital, but now you will come first to extract a confession." Alan knows that Ilt is powerful, but in this matter, he must not confess like this easily.

"Okay, well, when we go back today, we will tell each other our hearts, I swear, I will never hide anything again!"

No longer pulling away from the topic, the three of them took another turn outside the house, and nothing was found.

"There must be something wrong with that tunnel, you think, if it's just to make a tunnel to the outside of the city, wouldn't it be faster to dig straight? The reason why there is a 'V' shaped tunnel shows that our high priest is hiding something, and Tia and I don't mean that. Hey. ”

Ilt grimaced,

"And that thing is probably the source of the divine power, and the diary is recorded every seven days, so every time you go to this house, you have to bring the divine power over, and every time you need it. So this thing must be at the nadir of the 'V' shape! Every time she passes, she will take out a part of her divine power, it must be like this! ”

Alan's thoughts were the same as Ilte's, for on the way he had touched the walls of the tunnel, which were nothing more than ordinary dirt and rocks. There is no divine power to speak of. But when they were at their lowest point, he could faintly perceive through his keen senses that there was still a great power left there. If it was really an artifact, then what the magic spirit said could help him was probably this treasure hidden in the dark. The three of them wasted no more time and returned to the passage again......
