Walking down the stairs, the oil lamps on both sides of the wall were automatically lit in turn, and the figures elongated and shortened under the dim light continued to go deeper with the sound of footsteps.

"I didn't expect there to be such a mechanism here."

Probably because it was the first time she saw it, Ye Lianli's face was a little surprised and surprised.

"This is normal, just such a distance, if it is only manually ignited, it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort, and compared to this, I am curious how the previous one dug out such a basement, after all, normally this corridor is too deep."

In the Middle Ages, the level of science and technology, not to mention the low population base, and the construction of palaces and other things could only rely on manpower. And not to mention how the basement is built, just the corridor under your feet is definitely a huge project, of course, if there is a divine power to help, it is another matter.

"By the way, how did Dalena know there was a basement here? Or is this the place where she was previously imprisoned? ”

Rita was a little puzzled, knowing that such places were generally very secretive, and people close to them other than the owner might not be able to know about it, and Dalena ...... A princess who has been imprisoned, no matter how you think about it, the relationship between them can't be any better, and of course it is not excluded that there are other hidden secrets.

"I don't know about that, but I'm sure this is not where the princess was imprisoned, first in the dungeon, and then in her room." Ye Lianli still knows about this, but she only knows it from others, as for some details...... In short, it won't be too bad.

Time passed in silence again, and at the same time, the footsteps of "da, da, da" also continued to sound, especially the crispness that kept reverberating to set off the surroundings even more lonely.

"It's ......"

Yes, it's ...... The two of them walked down the stairs one after the other, and the place they saw was not as empty as they had imagined, and of course there was nothing but the large piece in the center.

"What is this? Altar? Rita was a little puzzled, but more puzzled, after all, the appearance of such a thing in such a place always makes people think about it unconsciously.

"It's an altar, it's an altar, but it's one more thing, Rita, come and see this."

Someone immediately trotted over when they received the summons, and then looked at it for a moment before he came back to his senses: "This is a six-pointed star...... Formation!? ”

The circle depicted by white lines has a faint pink color on it, but it is precisely because of this that Rita instantly straightens up.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the people beside her looking left and right, with a nervous look, Ye Lianli couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Somebody's here."

The girl's tone was very affirmative, so without any doubt, Ye Lianli also stood up with a "poof", and her tense body looked like she was ready to go to war at any time.

"Don't be so nervous, it's not an enemy this time." Rita reassured, then shouted loudly, "Navis, if I'm not mistaken, it's you, right?" ”

"...... Li"

Ye Lianli's words were interrupted by a burst of laughter before she could say anything, and then following the source of the voice, the two girls looked together, and saw a person slowly walking out from behind the altar.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, so don't come unharmed, Your Majesty." Navis had a formulaic smile on his face, but the torn clothes took that beauty down a notch.

"It's only been a month, but it's you, I really didn't expect you to be alive."

With a regretful voice, even Navis couldn't help choking, and there was a look of crying and laughing on his face: "Your Majesty wants me to die?" ”

"Why should you die if you are alive?" Rita asked knowingly, "Besides, don't you explain to me what is going on here?" ”

"There's nothing to say about my side, it's just that an unwitting character strayed into a place where he shouldn't have been, and then escaped the mortal end, and finally discovered some buried truth." Navis shrugged his shoulders and looked relaxed, "Of course, if Her Majesty wants to know, I can elaborate." ”

"There's no need to talk about it in detail, after all, the top priority now is to solve the problem here, as for the truth you just said, what do you mean?"

"The Truth ......"

"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, wait until you want to say it, and then satisfy my curiosity."

The hesitation on Navis's face made Rita wave her hand directly, although she was a little curious, but she was not the kind of person who broke the casserole and asked to the end, some things were known or not, as long as the impact on her was not too great, then she would not care too much, after all, curiosity killed the cat, and she always felt that something bad would happen when she chased and asked.

Navis didn't speak, but after a moment of silence, he met Yelenli's inquiring gaze, and of course shifted his gaze to Rita after less than a second. Probably out of curiosity, Rita was constantly circling around the altar at this time.

"Her Majesty is curious about the purpose of this thing?"

"You know?"

The question was in an affirmative tone, coupled with the appearance of the old god eating melons, Rao is Navis was also a little speechless, and only after sighing did he explain: "I just know something." ”

So for the next period of time, Navis sighed under someone's "please speak" gaze, and explained his findings clearly: "We didn't know it would be like this, what Your Majesty did...... If it weren't for this accident, I'm afraid I would have been buried forever. ”

"I don't know if I'm buried or not, but it's certain that if those people know the news, especially Dalena's girl, I'm afraid they will collapse directly."

Probably because he knows someone's temperament, Navis doesn't doubt this at all: "The enemy who has hated for many years has suddenly become a patron saint who silently protects himself, and this kind of difference is said to be a princess, even if it is someone else, it is unlikely that he can bear it." ”

"I think it's okay, everyone shouldn't mention this matter again when it comes out of here today, so as to prevent that girl from knowing that she will be sad again."

Yelianli & Navis (nodded in unison): "Understood." ”

"But...... What the hell does this thing do? Looking at the marks on it, it can't be a blood sacrifice or something, right? Once again, Rita crouched down to observe the six-pointed star on the ground, and she felt that the pink color on it concealed a lot of stories compared to the altar itself.

"It's not impossible, after all, Her Royal Highness the princess was given a lot of blood." In fact, after knowing such a thing at the beginning, Ye Lianli was surprised, after all, it was a little abnormal to think about bleeding for no reason, but now that I think about it, it is very likely that it is related to the one in front of her.

"Secret Method...... Is it? Listening to the answer in her ear, Rita looked pensive for a while, and had a vague answer in her heart.

"Maybe this time it has something to do with this altar."

"Brother is more confident, and he goes, 'maybe'." Rita corrected Navis's judgment with a smile on her face, "And if I'm not mistaken, it's not just the blood of Her Royal Highness, it's even Elias's." ”

"Your Majesty's?" Navis was a little stunned, he hadn't thought about it, "But what is the purpose of His Highness doing this?" In the end, it also affected the entire palace. ”

"Well...... The reason for this is up to you. The girl smiled nonchalantly, and then her eyes moved slightly, "Sister Ye, I want to know if Dalena had any injuries before she was imprisoned, or if she had any incurable diseases?" ”

"This ......"

"Her Royal Highness the princess was once poisoned and recuperated in her bed for a long time, but is there any connection between the two?"

Seeing Ye Lianli frowning, Navis directly answered someone's doubts, and Rita chuckled lightly after hearing this answer: "Sure enough, it seems that I guessed correctly." ”

"What did you guess?" Not only Navis, but even Ye Lianli, who was faintly close to the transparent person on the side, was a little speechless: TMD can't speak more clearly?

"What do you think this six-pointed star circle does? If that's right, Dalena was the kind of poison that has no antidote, right? ”

"Uh...... Yes, indeed. Navis nodded, you must know that even Nehmiah gave up at the beginning, but then someone was inexplicably better, but no one thought much about it and only thought that he had found an antidote, and now he thinks that there must be another reason.

"Your Majesty used a secret method to save your daughter, but it requires the blood of the two of you as the transmission medium, although it sounds very evil, but sometimes the more evil it is, the closer it is to the truth." In exchange for his life, Elias deliberately imprisoned people in order not to let Dalena know the truth, after all, it is far better to live in hatred than guilt, at least that's what Rita thinks in her heart.

"What about the Queen? The princess was brought to the dungeon because of this. Even after Elias's temperament changed drastically, and the imprisonment of his daughter was believed by everyone to be caused by this incident.

"What a coincidence." Rita's expression was relaxed, and she said something that was completely worthless.

Navis: "......"

Ye Lianli: "......"

"I know it sounds casual, but I haven't seen the scene at the time, so I can't even guess what the problem is." Rita shrugged her shoulders and directly ignored the reactions of the two people around her, "And I think even if it doesn't happen, I'm afraid there will be other reasons, and it's likely that this matter is very much designed by other people, from the assassin to the assassin target, I'm afraid it was carefully chosen." ”

Navis: "......"

Ye Lianli: "......"

"It's just a pity for the queen, and the old fellow Elias...... Although the murderer was found in the end, the people behind the scenes are probably still at large, of course, everyone including your majesty doesn't know about this matter, and they only think that it is a struggle for power between nobles, am I right? ”

"......" The words have been finished by you alone, what else does he say?

But Navis knew, as Rita had said, that all of them had thought that the queen's death was the result of a struggle for power by the nobles, but ...... Who is the person behind the design?

A person's face suddenly crossed Navis's mind, and then the corners of his mouth hooked up with bitterness: yes, who else but that person would design all this, and also have the ability to hide it from everyone...... There was no one else but that man.

"Looks like you already have the answer." Seeing the expression of the person in front of her, Rita nodded with satisfaction: Well, the child is teachable, at least it was not in vain that she spent so much saliva to guide.

"......" so who can tell her what really happened? Why can't she figure out what these two people said?

Ye Lianli always felt that she was missing something in some aspects, but when she thought about it, she couldn't think of anything. The girl's distressed look was naturally captured by Rita's gaze, but she ignored it, just raised her eyes and looked at the altar in front of her: "This matter should also be closed, you now, leave the rest to me." ”
