Chapter 572 Leaving the Underworld
The old king used all his strength to cast the spell of unraveling, but the effect was not satisfactory.
After an hour of hard work, the old king's magic energy was exhausted, but the curse on the Jeju was still not lifted.
Although it was not unraveled, the old king suspended the seal of the curse, making the curse temporarily ineffective and no longer depriving the city of its vitality.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The old king seemed to be weak and crumbling.
Hong Ling'er and Lan Ling'er immediately supported the old king from the left and right.
"Are you okay?" Hong Ling'er said with concern.
"It's fine."
"Let's go back to the dormitory and rest first."
The old king went back to the palace to rest with the support of the two sisters, while the Jeho waited in the main hall.
On both sides of the entrance to the main hall, several guards stood on the left and right, and the bored Jeju came to their side and chatted with them. However, the guards were very conscientious and did not make small talk with the Jeor.
Jee Cheng waited for more than ten minutes again, and at this time Hong Ling'er returned to the main hall.
"How's the old king?" Jeongjo asked.
"I'm asleep for the time being."
"Anyway, am I okay now? Can you go? ”
"I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
"The old king did not succeed in unlocking your curse, he only sealed it temporarily. However, this seal is very unstable and can be broken at any time. ”
"How long will this seal last?"
"It's a few hours, it's a few days, I can't say. In short, the old king is already in his prime, and he doesn't have much ability to seal the curse for you anymore. ”
"Ah, if I say that, I'm dead." Jeongjo looked desperate.
"No, there's another chance."
"What chance?"
"Under the Linggao Palace, there is an underground palace called the dungeon."
"Dungeons? I've heard that there are some very special people and monsters being held. ”
"That's right, starting today, you're going to live in the dungeon."
"Why?"
"The location of the dungeon is not chosen randomly, there is an eerie atmosphere in it, which can stabilize the mood, reduce the anger, soothe the soul, and even dissolve the curse." Hong Ling'er explained.
"Really?"
"That's right, but you need to stay inside for a long time, and you can't come out."
"How long are you going to stay?"
"I can't tell, if the old king says fast, it will take a few years, and if it is slow, it may take about ten years."
"Oh my God, isn't that like going to jail?" Jeongjo said bitterly.
"Be content, at least not shackles and handcuffs. Within the confines of the dungeon, you have full freedom. ”
"Well, it seems that this is all there is to it."
Time flies, years pass, time returns to the present......
He couldn't remember exactly how many years he had been in the dungeon, he only knew that he had grown from a teenager to an adult.
"Sister Ling'er, you haven't come to see me for a long time." Jeongjo said to Hong Ling'er.
"I'm sorry, it's a busy time. By the way, I heard that the curse on you is gone? ”
"Yes, a month ago, the old king said that the curse of death on me was gone."
"Then why are you still here?" Hong Ling'er asked.
"I have no worries, no family. I'm used to staying in the dungeon and having nothing to do with the big guys. ”
The big guys that Jejo refers to are those giant beasts that have committed crimes but are not heinous, and their size is basically more than ten meters, which is about the same as Jeho.
Jeopher lives as a dragon in the dungeons, so he's familiar with the big guys.
There are some giant beasts who also like to deal with the Jeho, after all, the reputation of the dragon clan is still relatively large.
Hong Ling'er sighed: "Alas, if you stay here any longer, you will almost forget that you are a human being, so hurry up and go to the outside world to edify."
Jeongjo thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'll go to the Dragon Abyss to see the dragon clan, after all, I still have a little kinship with them."
"No, you have a more important task."
"What? It can't have anything to do with the hometown of Yellow Springs, right? ”
"Pretty much."
"No, no, no, I won't do it, I won't go to the hometown of Huangquan if I die."
"You calm down, listen to me slowly, this time it's not just going to the hometown of Huangquan."
It took Hong Ling'er nearly an hour to tell Jeju about the surface world and the surface people.
The whole process, Jeongjo was dumbfounded.
"Jeejo, this time you will be tasked with following the group of surface people throughout the whole process and learning the connection point between the two worlds. As far as I can estimate, they won't investigate the Yellow Springs Township, but will directly find the connecting point and go to the surface. ”
"Actually, you didn't expect them to investigate the hometown of Yellow Springs, you deliberately said this in order to create a false impression and make them lose their guard."
"Yes, it's not clear why the surface people aren't cursed by the undead, but I don't expect them to investigate anything. After all, you've been working hard for months, and you haven't figured out why. Also, there is another purpose of bringing you, which is to protect them if necessary. ”
"Protect them?"
"That's right, because the undead don't know that their curse is useless against the surface people. In case the undead they encountered this time had seen Li Ming and the others before, then this time they might launch an attack on Li Ming and the others and suck their life force. ”
"Sister Ling'er, are you trying to treat me as a big meat shield? To attract the attention of the undead? ”
"Almost, but only when the last resort is in danger, you turn into a black dragon to help them. You must not expose your strength until the moment of crisis. ”
"Oh oh, I see, I'd better hide my identity and follow them until I know where the connection is."
"Well, it's a desperate city, and it's very understanding. But if you can, you'd better follow them all the way to the surface world to find out what's going on there. Your dragon scales have a pointing effect, and as long as you sneak off the scales, then you have a pathway to the surface world. ”
"Sister Ling'er is really a good plan. However, in the event of a crisis, and I expose my strength in order to save them, won't they be afraid of my strength and dare not take me to the surface? ”
"It shouldn't be exposed. After all, Tianpeng and Jiang Wei are Flame Powers, and the undead are not fools, they know that attacking Flame Abilities will pay a great price, so it shouldn't be your turn to appear. ”
"Okay, so before I go on a mission, can I go to the dragon clan and have a look?"
"Yes, I'll give you two days."
On the other side, to the west of the human kingdom, Lingming Village.
The Great Elder received new news that the king was willing to increase the number of people going to the Land of Yellow Springs to three. However, the king asked his cronies to join Liming and the others.
The Great Elder passed the news to the village chief Ju Mang, and Ju Mang took Meng Yirou to the villa area to convey the message in person.
Li Ming and the others were surprised and delighted when they heard the news.
"I didn't expect the king to agree." Tianpeng was very happy, because then he didn't have to be separated from Jiang Wei.
The village chief Ju Mang smiled and said: "The time is tentatively set for two days, and then the Jeom City will act with you, he is a close confidant of the king, and he has no combat power at all, so you must protect him well." ”
"Okay, don't worry, we won't let him have an accident." Jiang Wei replied.
That night, Li Ming and the others gathered in a small room and quietly discussed.
"Guys, it's clear that the Jeredi is here to spy on us, what should we do?" Liming asked.
"The king wants to know where the two worlds connect, so he sent the man called Jedi City to go with us to the land of Yellow Springs. The question now is whether or not we should let the people of the earth know. Tianpeng said.
"Our decisions will determine the fate of the surface world." Jiang Hao frowned.
"If you really can't do it, you will kill the Jedi City in the Land of Yellow Springs." Li Ming said solemnly.
"Well, if you kill the city, we'll die." Reverse the scale is not cool.
"Reverse Scale and Jiang Hao gave up going to the surface for us, we can't let them have trouble." Tianpeng looked at Li Ming seriously.
Li Ming suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just talking casually." ”
"No, if this is really about the fate of the surface world, we have the consciousness of sacrifice." Jiang Hao said suddenly.
"Jiang Hao, what are you doing!" Reverse Scale has no sense of sacrifice, and he wants to stay underground.
"Reverse scale, once the people in the underground know the connection point, there will definitely be a risk. It is impossible for the current surface world to win the underground world. ”
"What does the surface world have to do with me, there are only two people I care about in my life, one is Meng Yirou and the other is you, I don't have that kind of consciousness to be a victim."
"But it's about the fate of the surface world."
At this time, Jiang Wei suddenly spoke: "You can't have anything, we will definitely come back to you in the future." Also, we can't hurt that Jeredo. All of us, who are blessed by the people of the earth, cannot take revenge. Dad taught me that if you really can't repay your kindness for some reason, then you must not take revenge. ”
"Indeed, the people of the earth have never felt sorry for us. The Grand Elder and Village Chief Ju Mang of Lingming Village have always protected us, and we can't let them down. One day, when the human race in our surface world is unified and develops into a strong country, we will come to the underground world again, take Meng Yirou, Xia Zhen, the village chief, and all the people who are good to us, and take them to the surface world. Tianpeng echoed.
"Okay, then you have the final say on these things, I don't care. For me, it was enough to be able to go back to the surface and see Jiang Feng. Li Ming said.
ps:
Reader's question: Isn't the art of resurrection of the dead ineffective for ordinary people? Could it be that Li Xiangyu is a supernatural person? Inconsistencies.
Author's answer: The art of resurrection of the dead is only effective for contractors. Each super-healing person can only resurrect one person. When Li Xiangyu died, Yu Tao's tears fell to Li Xiangyu's face, forming a contract. That's why I say that the art of resurrection of the dead is ineffective for ordinary people, and the meaning here is ordinary people, not people with abilities or non-abilities. If you have any questions, you can give me a comment.
