Chapter 16: Secrecy
It is impossible to return the same way, if you are blocked by falling rocks on the way, there is no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, Auston gritted his teeth and could only choose to run deeper into the imperial tomb.
But after all, the Imperial Tomb was Hanina's royal forbidden place, and Auston's supreme minister had never penetrated into this place, so he ran towards the stone chamber that could support it for a while with little vibration......
In the tomb of Emperor Grey, where they had just left, there was a sudden rustling sound in the ruins, and a pair of hands stained with green blood and wrinkled dust stretched out from the ruins...... Soon a trembling figure slowly stood up, leaning on his back, and the man slowly turned his head, it was Norz!
Auston scurried around the Imperial Tomb with Vina in his arms, and soon lost his way, but fortunately he was now in a smaller room, and the load-bearing around him seemed relatively strong, so he should not have a problem for a short time.
Auston chose a flat spot and slowly lowered Vina down and began to examine the stone chamber carefully...... It's clearly a place to stack burial goods, surrounded by weapons of all kinds, long and short, and even a well-preserved set of infantry armor! The Edra family advocates martial arts, and the rulers of the past dynasties are all strong for a while, even if they are buried in the tomb after death, they are mostly weapons and armor, and those priceless jewels and jade are very few.
Auston's original weapon had been damaged during the fierce battle with the elven assassin at the hydropower station, and the light armor on his body had become tattered.
Auston was repairing his weapon armor with materials on the side, when he suddenly heard Vina's voice, he hurriedly walked over, Vina slowly opened her eyes and slowly woke up.
Vena now only felt a headache, as if it was about to crack, she sat up with difficulty, slowly leaning against the stone wall beside her, she felt like she had a dream, a long dream. In the dream, she seemed to be in the vast universe overlooking the entire Hanina Galaxy, her heartbeat seemed to be connected with the planets, the pulse of the earth, the rushing water in the rivers and seas, and even the rebirth and fall of every leaf were clearly presented in front of her.
"Your Majesty." Auston shouted softly.
Vina came back to her senses, looked at Auston, and smiled, "Uncle Auston, it's good that you're still with me. ”
Auston's nose was sore, and he almost couldn't control his tears, and in just a few days, Vina suffered more and more blows, and the god of fate seemed to pour all the disasters on her head, and he was really afraid that Vena would be depressed and collapsed.
"Uncle, you don't have to look at me like that, I don't think I have anything to lose, do I? So I'm not afraid anymore. Vina smiled, the hidden pain in her eyes that left Auston speechless for a while.
Vena struggled to stand up, although her current state is still very weak, but the upper part of her body is already better, this is of course Hanina's super self-healing ability is working, but more importantly, Nalal transferred all her life force to Vena before she died.
"Where are we?"
"It's still in the Imperial Mausoleum, it should be a burial goods storage room, but I don't know the exact location, my communicator is damaged." Auston sighed and said helplessly.
Most of the stone chamber passage outside has collapsed, and the two seriously injured are trapped underground, and Nalar's betrayal has made them completely unable to be rescued from the outside world, and there is no way to dig a tunnel with something at hand, the situation can be said to be very unoptimistic.
Seeing that Auston was worried, Vina smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, we have survived several desperate situations in a row, and I believe that we will definitely not be trapped and die here." It's useless to be anxious now, so let's take a break first, right! I had a very strange dream just now, uncle, do you want to hear it? ”
Auston smiled wryly and glanced at Vina, where did he have the leisure to listen to Vina's dreams now? However, he was more worried about Vina's mental state than he was in now, and she seemed to be too calm......
The calm was somewhat abnormal, and the blood-colored flame Auston at that time was still fresh in his memory.
"That's it, I won't be able to get out for a while anyway, since Vina is in the mood to speak, it's better for me to follow her, at least I can make her change her mind." Auston thought.
"Okay, it's time for my old bones to rest, and I feel all over my body hurt when I stop." Alston simply sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed.
Vina grinned, and jumped to Auston's side, and two slender jade hands pinched his shoulders for him, as if time had gone back to her childhood, and every time she got into trouble and begged Uncle Auston to help her intercede in front of her father, this trick always worked.
Asking His Majesty to pinch his shoulder, this seems to be against the way of the monarch, but in this dim and closed environment, identity or something is no longer so important, Auston's mind slowly relaxed, and listened to Vina slowly tell her strange dream......
"It's a really amazing feeling, as if my consciousness can travel to all corners of the planet at will, I can go wherever I want, and I can instantly run from the golden dome of the palace to the northern harbor of Apar to see the seabirds, and when I close my eyes and go to the black rain jungle in the west, I can pass by those strange beasts, but they can't find me at all."
Auston at first took this dream as a joke, these places are the unique scenery on the continent of Hanina, Vina has been an idle character since she was a child, she has been to these places one after another, some of them are too lazy to take her to her because they can't stand her stubbornness, and some of them are she a little older and secretly run away by herself, this child is afraid that when he is unconscious, he awakens these dusty memories and takes dreams as reality.
But the more Auston listened, the more wrong it became, and some of the scenes in the dream described by Vina had only been built by the Empire in the last year! She hadn't set foot in Hanina for more than two years, and as soon as she returned, she went to war, where did she learn about the changes in these remote places? And it's described in such detail?
The more Auston thought about it, the more wrong it became, and suddenly, a thought crossed his mind!
He had heard it from Grey the Great...... The Edra family has a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation, and that is the Star Seal that Nolz once mentioned at that time!
"Finally, I felt that with the sound of my heartbeat, the whole Hanina star was also beating with it......"
Auston snapped open his eyes, this is it! Being able to connect one's consciousness to galaxies, such an incredible ability of the Edra family! He suddenly turned around and grabbed Vina's shoulders tightly, startling her with a sudden move.
"Your Majesty! Can you really feel the Hanina Galaxy? ”
Vina blinked and said cautiously, "Uncle Auston? What happened to you? It was just a dream I had. ”
Auston said solemnly: "No, Your Majesty, that's not a dream, do you know the origin of the 'King's Mark'?" ”
"King's Mark?" Vina only knows that this is a secret treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Edra royal family, and it is the last barrier to guard the king, whether it is firearms, magic, cold weapons, any attack on the wearer It will resist it, this quaint necklace for thousands of years I don't know how many times the life of the Edra family has been saved, not to mention, but how many times has Vena escaped death by relying on it in the past few days? But where does it come from......
Seeing Vina shaking her head blankly, Auston said in a deep voice: "This necklace is actually not just a powerful magic protective prop, it also hides a big secret about the Edra family......"
Auston was about to elaborate, when suddenly there was a sound of wooden staff hitting the floor outside the stone door that had been sealed by falling stones!
