Aldrich Tris treated a total of thirty-seven miners who had been slightly wounded, and the delay was a little while, but the group of people who decided to flee and run to their own side could easily go into battle without being dragged down by too many wounded.

When the time finally came, Princen took the three transparent hedrons that lit the room, and inside were a tiny orange-red flame, which had shrunk by nearly half compared to the original occupancy of the entire hedron, but it was also precious in terms of being able to replace the torch lighting.

"It's an alchemistically crafted flame gem that collects and seals the loose fire elemental in a specific container, like the oil lamps that hang on the pillars on both sides of the commercial street after nightfall in Eastwood. The only difference is that when the oil lamp burns out, kerosene can be added, and after these flame gems bloom with all the light and heat, they will turn into ordinary crystal stones that are not worth a few dollars. ”

Seeing the curiosity of the Knight of Tris, Princein immediately gave a detailed explanation, and with a sense of superiority of a city man looking at a hillbilly, he inwardly despised his ignorance and shallowness.

In the realm of alchemy, he and Aldrich were in opposite positions, and the high ground was enough for him to look up to the point where his head and neck broke, and he had to be ashamed.

"In addition to the magical stones used for lighting, the walls are inlaid with green jadeite, dull moonstones, and full-grained pearls, all of which are very valuable jewels, ......why don't you take them? Well, I always felt that it didn't work, and that's why you discarded these precious jewels. I guess to open the secret passages, you need these so-called flame gems?"

Knight Triss smiled slightly, "I wonder if I'm wrong?"

"You know too much. Princein cursed secretly, reminding himself that he should be careful everywhere, and that he could no longer despise this damn man, 'Cautiously compared to the detective of the Dark Police Department, maybe a masked Gray Guy, a disguised Night Knight. ’

A respectable opponent!

Princeteen said of Aldrich Tris, and then he was the first to step out of the increasingly cloudy room, through the stone door that could be turned on the central axis, and into the stone palace with heavy columns.

Taking advantage of the knight's lack of follow-up, Princeine pulled the flame gem to a knee-high potted tree, and with a whoosh, the fire elemental inside was sucked into the translucent crystal that was about to fail.

Seeing this successful scene, Princeteen let out a long sigh of satisfaction, secretly thinking that the grandfather's notes he had read at home as a child had really worked, and that he was able to open the Rock Palace, and that he was indeed its successor.

It's a pity that it doesn't have enough strength to keep it, and most of the essence has been taken away, leaving only a small inheritance. ’

After restoring the flame gem to its original state, and crossing the stone blocks that were suspected to be gargoyle fragments, Princein approached the bronze gate at the end of the palace, pushed it open and hurriedly walked in, and soon his face darkened, and his eyes swept over the people who entered the rock palace one after another, until he found Aldrich Triss with a calm face, and the undisguised fire in his eyes was burning angrily.

The alchemy room was littered with fresh footprints and churning marks, enough to prove that Knight Triss had gone in and scrubbed through it, and he hadn't left Princein with anything he wanted at all, except for a few rotten pieces of wood.

'This damn scoundrel, he's sure to have gotten all the treasure that belonged to me in private, and he's pretending to be nothing, it's so hateful. ’

The hired man, Foreman Deco, seemed to see the signs of danger and hurried to Prince's side to ask what was going on. Just as he was trying to gain his support, Princeteen picked up the important key and said a few words, revealing a little tone.

"How is that possible? Look at the costume of the Knight of Tris, it is possible that he has put a set of alchemical tools into his body, what the hell is going on in your mind?"

Princeteen had just lost his mind and gone mad with a huge sense of loss, and now he thought about the details carefully, and sure enough, he found that he was blind and ignorant, but he refused to admit it to his face, after all, it was too embarrassing, so he still refused to admit defeat and pleaded out.

"Maybe he'll find a light and thin scroll inside, or something like a notebook or a book that's easy to organize, and you know it's hard for anyone to see if you put it in your arms. ”

Deco nodded after listening, "It's very likely, but we can't verify it face-to-face, otherwise the two sides won't be able to get off the stage on the spot, and then a conflict will break out, and then everything will be over." He pressed Princein's hand into a clenched fist, "Bear with me for the time being, I'll think of a solution, trust me." ”

"That's what you said, Deco, and you have to take responsibility for it. Princeteen was overjoyed, and felt relieved, and it would have been best if he had easily passed the matter on to the foreman of the hired man.

Deco sighed secretly, for the sake of that secret passage, he could only agree to come down first, and he would go to Aldrich to find out about it when he turned around.

The cave workers returned to the Rock Palace, where they had been wounded and bleeding, and they didn't let go of their worries until they saw the gargoyle fragments, but soon more and more people were saying that it was time to open the secret passage to the cold mountain.

Aldrich Triss crossed his arms and waited for Princein to come and solve it, and everyone around him knew that he had solved both gargoyles with his bare hands, so they preferred to stay away from him, despite the crampedness around him, creating an awkward vacancy.

In the midst of the turmoil, even Prince, who has always been very thoughtful and acting as a guide, if he fails to fulfill his promise, the hired workers who feel deceived will not forgive this despicable villain.

Given an illusory hope, and then pushed into the abyss of despair, the person who loses his mind will go crazy, so Princein has to suppress a little dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the stone pillars of the palace are all carved in one piece, and they can't be moved at all, but those potted strange trees can be moved, try to turn them, I guess the mechanism to open the secret passage is here. ”

Knight Tris nodded, he had guessed this answer before, but he was not familiar with everything in the Rock Palace, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Soon, the miners, who were still nimble, began to experiment with the potted trees, turning clockwise, then counterclockwise, moving off the ground to see if there was any rope attached to the bottom, and so on.

Two rows of thirty-six potted strange trees were tested one by one, and finally one of them touched the right key when it turned around, and then behind the rock wall on the left side of the bronze gate, the sound of the gear hub turning suddenly sounded.

"Giggle...... Ding!"

A stone slab in the shape of a dome arch sank half inside, and Princeteen let out a sigh of worry, stepped forward and walked sideways, holding up three flame gems to find the key, and setting them in the grooves of the rock wall.

With a "whew", the fire element poured out, corresponding to the three channels, rushing quickly in the dark-shrouded corridor, burning a line of fire above the head and on both sides of the rock wall, and then continuously ignited the torch buried deep in the stone bricks, dispelling the darkness as heavy as iron.

The hallway, which had not been visited for a long time, had a dull withering smell, and Princeteen tried to push the slate away, but his strength could not shake the heavy thing.

At this moment, a pair of familiar and unfamiliar hands reached out and pressed hard against the dome arch, and the rusty hub was forcibly pushed away, so that Princeteen would not be embarrassed in front of people.

He was about to say thank you, but when he looked up and saw Aldrich Tris's face, he immediately swallowed the words that came to his lips again, and Princeteen was still thinking about the inheritance of the alchemy room that might have been looted by the Knight of Triss.

This kind of pain of taking away the love of his heart is definitely not a small favor that can be compensated for by two small favors, but with so many people watching, he can't help but express it, so he nodded vigorously at Aldrich, turned around and prepared to lead the way in front.

Tris immediately reached out and pressed his shoulder, "Wait a minute. ”

Oops, I instructed them to open the secret passage and charge the torch, and he immediately turned his face. This damn despicable villain really has a bad heart, and it's just terrible. ’

Aldrich didn't plan to pinch Princeteen to death, but just stopped him, "I feel that the inside of the corridor is full of suffocating rotten aura, if you rush in now, I'm afraid most people will fall to the ground, let's let the secret passage ventilate inside and out." ”

I see, it's still very thoughtful. Well, this ignorant man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but that's fine, I remember, Knight Triss is too cautious and can be a weakness to exploit. ’

The two of them walked out of the corridor back and forth, and Deco quickly avoided standing aside, he could see the strange relationship between Princeteen and Aldrich Tris, who was not the foreman of the hired man, but he was eager to let the former show the way, and the latter to open the way.

Deco and Princeteen exchanged glances, and the two of them were in agreement about the plan, so when Aldridge said that he could start entering the corridor, all eyes were on him.

As expected, there were the terrible minions of the alchemy statue gargoyle before, and no one dared to underestimate everything here, although the Knight of Tris seemed to be extremely reliable in treating many of his wounded hirelings, but who could guarantee that he would not turn back.

"Well, well, since I'm the only knight there, I have to take responsibility. But I have a word in advance, if I find any valuable treasures in the corridor, I will accept them. ”

Princeine moved, but for some reason, his feet were firmly glued to the ground, and he couldn't move at all.

This may be the choice of smart people, a small profit, which cannot be compared with the safety of his own life, not to mention Princeine, who is destined to have a 'good future'.

'I can't move, a brilliant future awaits me, and I can't be stimulated at this moment, or else when danger comes, I may well be taken away by this vile knight to ward off disaster.' ’

Reading other people's minds from his own perspective is Princein's forte, and he quickly enters the role as the leader of the mine's hired men.

Aldrich Triss walked into the hallway, the fire around him was a little blinding, and he walked in front of him with ease, followed by Princeteen not far behind, followed by the hired man's foreman Deco, but soon the two exchanged places, and Princeteen stood guard at the door.

The able-bodied and injured people followed into the corridor, they whispered, laughed and looked a little relaxed, after all, the person who opened the way in front of him was a kind-hearted knight, and he would solve any monster such as a gargoyle.
