Qingxue thought for a moment, then smiled at the king, "Yes, I'll tell my father when the time comes." ”

When the king heard this, his tone of voice became lighter. Let's stay first, he will definitely try to make us see the dark crystal.

After giving orders to his men, he left his throne and went out through a secret door at the back of the main hall, never seeing what he looked like.

I thought to myself, maybe this was a pretense he had made up, maybe he was using this in exchange for an alliance with Snow Country. If that's the case, he's too easy to deceive, and this wishful thinking won't work.

The king arranged us to a room on the second floor, and then entertained us with delicious food and drink. We weren't polite, and the others thought the same as I was, that this was the King's trick on us, and that he would definitely let us see the Dark Crystal. But the hardest part is how to steal it.

Two days later, the herald came and told us to meet the king.

The king was still sitting behind the curtain, and as soon as we reached the main hall, he said that the dark crystal had promised to see us. We weren't surprised, so Qingxue asked him where the dark crystal was and when he could go.

The king told us that we would not be able to see it until tomorrow, and that we could not all go in at once, but only one by one.

I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in this gourd, making Black Crystal look like a person with a strange personality, didn't he fool us, Black Crystal is really human!

Anyway. As long as we could know where the dark crystal was, we readily agreed.

By the next day, the herald had taken us to the third floor of the castle, and from the first to the third floor, there were two rows of robed men standing in the corridor. I felt their ghostly aura, and they were all very strong.

"Is the king afraid that we will steal the crystal?" Qingxue said dissatisfied. Wood to ask for a wide shoulder.

"The black crystal is a national treasure, and it's usually like this, don't think about it too much, princess." The herald explained in a good voice.

These people didn't wear armor or weapons, but it would take a lot of effort to steal the black crystal out from under their noses.

The herald led us to a large gate. He made a gesture to the princess, "Princess, please come in first!" ”

A few of us didn't say anything, anyway, according to the rules they set, one by one to go in and see, and we all said before, everyone should observe the situation inside when they go in, and prepare for the crystal later.

Qingxue walked to the door and was about to push the door in, but the herald said, "Princess, you can't wear weapons when you enter the room, do you want your subordinates to keep their swords first?" ”

Qingxue frowned and glanced at a few of us, the monk nodded slightly, and Qingxue handed over the sword.

The "princess" herald spoke again.

"What's wrong with that?" Qingxue deliberately played a little tantrum and asked impatiently.

"No, no, no. Just to remind you. You only have time for a stick of incense, and when the stick of incense burns out, you will come out. ”

"There are so many rules, all right." Qingxue finished speaking and entered the room.

I think a stick of incense is fine, and there is plenty of time. But after a while, Qingxue came out, and I was still a little puzzled, why was it so fast, she looked carefully!

Qingxue was just about to say something, but the herald said, "Who is going to go in next?" ”

Le Xing Monk glanced at Ling Xiao, meaning to let him go first. Ling Xiao handed me the two-handed sword and entered the room.

"Qingxue, do you see the black crystal?"

"Well, it looks quite ordinary, you can go in and have a look later." With the herald here, it was inconvenient for us to say more, thinking that we would discuss it in detail when we got back.

Soon Ling Xiao also came out, and I thought to myself, why is he also like a fantatist, is there really nothing to see?

Ling Xiao grimaced, took his giant sword from my hand, and just as he was about to say something, the herald began to urge the next person to enter.

Except for being polite to the princess, he is a subordinate of us princesses who has no patience at all.

This time it was time for me to go in, and since my soul was very inconspicuous, I pinned it to my waist and covered it with my clothes, so that as long as I didn't search my body, I wouldn't find out.

The herald just looked at me and let me in.

As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a man in a long robe, and in front of me was a large screen. There was an incense burner on the table in front of the screen, and the robed man took out an incense stick, stuck it in the censer and lit it.

When I saw that incense, I understood why Qingxue and Ling Xiao came out so quickly, because that incense stick was really thin and short, and it looked like it would burn out in a while.

I thought to myself that this king is really not authentic, and he even plays such a little trick.

The smell of the incense was so strong that I felt dizzy as soon as I smelled it, and then I followed the man in the robe and went around the back of the screen in a daze, through a hallway, to the room where the dark crystal was placed.

Luckily, as soon as I got here, the dizziness passed.

It was an empty boxy room, except for a round platform in the middle, about a foot high, and in the middle of the table was a half-man-high square stone pillar with a black crystal, about the size of a football ball.

On the sides of the platform stood a man in a robe, looking very much like a sacrifice, with a powerful ghostly aura, probably the person who performed the ritual of communicating with the black crystal as the king said. I had expected the king to wait in this room, but I didn't see him except for the four sacrifices.

I see that this black crystal is being protected from left to right, and now it really looks like a person.

Thinking that the time for a stick of incense was short, I walked quickly to the round platform, wanting to get a closer look at the dark crystal.

As soon as I walked onto the stage, I felt a powerful energy, which I thought should be emitted by the black crystal. I looked around in circles for a moment at the dark crystal, but I couldn't see any clues.

I thought that since there were people here, I could just ask them about the Dark Crystal.

"Was the Dark Crystal always here?" I walked over to a man and asked.

He ignored me, and his face was expressionless, and he didn't even blink his eyes. I said to my heart, is this man blind and deaf?

I walked over to another person. Actually, I already know a little bit about the power of the dark crystal, but not exactly, and these people must know better.

So I asked him, "I think this is just an ordinary black stone, what can I do?" ”

The man ignored me, and then I asked the third person, "How do you all communicate with the Dark Crystal?" How do you use the powers of the Dark Crystal? ”

None of the three answered me, however, and they were all there like wooden men, which was very strange.

I didn't expect them to be so tight-mouthed and not reveal any information, and it was possible that the king wouldn't let them say it. Ling Xiao looked so depressed before, he probably asked them, but he went out without asking anything.

I felt like I had been in the room for a long time, but no one seemed to urge me out, so I began to look closely at the room again.

I noticed that the entire wall facing the door was hung with heavy black curtains, like a curtain in a movie theater, and I don't know if it was a curtain or a decorative function.

I was staring at the wall when a familiar voice came from behind the curtain, "You want to know how to use the powers of the dark crystal?" ”

The voice was king's, but his tone was a bit yin and yang.

"yes, I want to know, can you introduce me to it?"

Why did he talk to me through the curtains? My spirit tensed, and I stared straight ahead.

Then the curtain moved, and then out of the gap in the middle came a man wearing a black cloak and a powerful aura beyond imagination.

How can this outfit, coupled with this familiar ghostly aura, look so much like a demon! If it's really the devil, then what I saw this time is not an illusion, it should be him.

"Who the hell are you!" I asked him as I quietly put my hand on the hilt of the knife.

"Hahaha!" His voice changed, and he replied to me in a hoarse voice, "I am the devil in your mouth!" ”
