Chapter 363: The Secret Path (2)
Princess Luna slumped to the ground, her arms trembling as if she might collapse at any moment.
Fakes!fakes!!fakes!!
Princess Luna's eyes flashed with horror, and none of the other knights of Bosrika stepped forward to help, and they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.
Princess Luna's eyes instantly appeared in front of her eyes after she became the heir to the royal family, Tristan's betrayal, and Sivir was also sent to the path of death to the lair of the demon spirit by his own hands, what did he do for it? Isn't what he is pursuing is the king of Bosriga? However, there is no sword from the era of Dilubo, only a piece of garbage that can be easily cut by an ordinary blade.
......
"Lord Ron, Lord Ron!"
There was a call in his ears, and his body seemed to be gently shaken twice, and his consciousness slowly cleared, and Ron struggled to open his eyes.
"Sorry me, I'm a little sleepy. Ron saw Sylvie's slightly red and swollen eyes beside him, and the muscles on his face struggled to squeeze out a smile.
"Ron-sama, you can't fall asleep, in that case...... In that case......"
"I'll never wake up again, will I? Ron sighed lightly, due to a large amount of blood loss, his body function has dropped to the lowest point, just now his body leaned against the wall, he almost fell asleep, Ron knew very well that once he really lost consciousness, then he was completely helpless.
"Please, Sivir, let's go back quickly. Sefera suddenly fell to her knees, "If you don't go back, Mr. Ron really won't have a chance to be rescued." ”
Xavier shook his head.
"Do you think that even if we go back now, there is still a chance that Ron will be cured?" Sivir said in a low voice, looking at Sephira.
"Damn!
Sefera's fists pounded hard against the stone wall, as if she didn't feel any pain at all, and her hands were red from the violent impact, but Sefera seemed to want to vent all the anger and unwillingness in her heart.
"Click!"
A crisp sound echoed through the cavern, and Sefera's movements stopped abruptly, and even Ron opened his heavy eyelids, and a small crack suddenly appeared in the mountain wall where Sefera had just pounded the ground with his fist, and the rock chips were peeled off the mountain wall.
Sefera rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and then drew her short knife from her scabbard and stabbed it into the crack.
Sefera even used her yellow fighting energy, and as Sefera's blade slammed, a dull sound gradually sounded in the mountain wall, which was not simply the sound of the blade colliding with the stone, but the proof that there was a hollow area behind the mountain wall.
Sefera quickened her movements, and even the other knights joined in the work of beating the mountain wall, and soon a small cave about two meters high and one meter wide appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
There weren't many holy capitals in this cave, that is, people could walk in two or three steps, and a large pile of torches was soon concentrated in front of the cave that had just appeared, and in the light of the light, a dark red, very old chest was carried out of the cave by Sefera.
Originally, I thought that there was some secret passage behind this mountain wall leading to the depths of the ruins, but the result couldn't help but disappoint everyone, but this small box quickly attracted everyone's attention, appeared in the ruins of the Siren, and was still hidden in the mountain wall, there should be some great treasure in it.
There was only a very worn lock on top of the box, and the lock head was already covered with rust, and Sefera slashed it with a short knife, and the lock broke directly.
Sephira took a deep breath, and to be on the safe side, she didn't choose to open the box directly with her hands, but grabbed the edge of the box with the tip of her short knife, and then slowly lifted it upwards.
The contents of the box appeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.
There were no ornate jewels, no precious metals, no treasures such as weapons and armor inherited from antiquity, just a few dry plants, and a somewhat moldy smell wafting from the box.
"This, this is-"
Sefera blinked her eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Gill grass?" said Sivir, surprised.
As the chief knight of Bosriga, she was all too familiar with this kind of thing, and even when she was young, she had seen a lot of this kind of gill grass in the village.
"Why is it a gill grass, this- it's not a treasure. A knight from Bosliga said with some reluctance.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, they passed the first two difficulties, paid a few sacrifices, and in the end they only got such a thing, the huge psychological gap made many knights shake their heads in disappointment.
"Wait, what is this gill grass?" Ron's voice weakened.
"This is a specialty of Bosiliga, and although it is rare in quantity, it is not a precious treasure. Sefera explained: "When I came here before, I also got some to sell on the mainland, but the sales were not good, and after eating this gill grass, in a while, humans can become aquatic creatures and have the ability to breathe underwater." This herb also has the advantage that it has a relatively long shelf life, and it will not go bad no matter how you put it. But I didn't expect it to be hidden in it. ”
"Breathe underwater?" Ron muttered as he closed his eyes.
"Breathe underwater, underwater?" Ron suddenly slapped the floor and opened his eyes suddenly, "I see!"
Ron's sudden performance startled everyone around him, and now he looked like he had returned to the light before he died.
"The real secret passage is not in the mountain wall, but underwater! Absolutely, the real path to the depths of the ruins!
Ron's speech may have been a little too shocking, and many people have not yet reacted.
"Didn't I say it before, this lake may be connected to the ocean outside, so why can't there be a path at the bottom of the lake that leads to the depths of the ruins?" Ron excitedly said: "The fish gill grass is placed in such a hidden place, we can understand it as a hint that the real treasure can only be obtained through the fish gill grass, since there is such a treasure that can breathe underwater, why don't we try it?"
Ron couldn't help but be excited, these few pieces of gill grass made him see the possibility of surviving, let him see the hope of getting skill points, Ron suddenly felt that the whole person was refreshed.
"Is this possible?" whispered a knight from Bosliga.
Many people shook their heads secretly, Ron's statement was a bit too dreamy.
"No, this should exist. Ron's tone was a little anxious: "Think about it, why is there a cave hidden in the mountain wall, and why is there a box with gills in the cave? If this is just a coincidence, then it must be a little too coincidental, right?"
No wonder Ron was emotional, like a drowning man grabbed a lifebuoy, this was his last hope of survival.
There was silence in the cave, and everyone was thinking about the possibility that Ron had said, that some of the knights were not willing to venture any further, who knew what else was under the lake, and they just wanted to go back to their original place quietly, or wait here for the end of this operation.
"I think Ron's statement is probably the closest to the truth. Sivir suddenly spoke: "I think it should not be a coincidence that these gill grasses appear here. ”
Ron's eyes lit up, and being able to convince Sivir was the most crucial step.
"But there aren't enough of these gill grasses for all of us. Sivir looked at Ron, "That means we can't all go together." ”
"Also, if you only have one piece per person, you have a limited amount of time to be active underwater, and once the effect of the gill grass is over, you have to use your fighting energy to isolate the current. Xavier's tone was solemn: "Even if Mr. Ron is not a knight, he should be able to imagine that as our diving depth increases, the amount of fighting energy consumed will be even greater if we want to isolate the current through fighting energy. ”
Ron nodded, the water pressure will increase with the depth of the water, this common sense he still understands, although this world does not have such a theory about water pressure and water depth, but obviously has knowledge about this aspect.
"Miss Sivir, you mean, the fewer people in the water, the better?"
"That's right. That's it, if there's really anything under the lake, we're going to make it as long as possible. Sivir said, "I'm willing to go down and give it a try." ”
The two knights of Bosrika did not expect Sivir to agree so simply. In their opinion, Sivir wanted to help Her Royal Highness get as much performance as possible, but only Sivir understood his thoughts.
When she walked on this road, she already had the consciousness of dying in her heart, this is the lair of the demon spirit, if there is a road underwater, what awaits them there should be a more powerful demon spirit, but now there is no fear in Sivir's heart, even if he dies in the hands of the demon spirit, it is also his best destination.
This life of his own, which should have been destroyed with the village on that night in the small fishing village, was able to live until now and become the princess's guard, and he was very satisfied.
Ron glanced at Xavier in some surprise, he didn't expect that this female knight would agree so happily, although it was beyond Ron's expectations, but Ron didn't think much about it.
The writing wheel eye can see through human moves, but it can't see through people's hearts.
"I'm going with Sivir. Ron stood up.
"No, Ron, you can't go. Sefera said almost subconsciously.
"No, Sephira, what's the use of me staying here? I can only continue to wait for death here, and I don't want to leave a regret for my life. Ron smiled.
"There is indeed such a treasure. Sivir suddenly spoke: "Mr. Ron's magic can assist my sword skills, if it is the two of us going into the water, it should be the best choice." ”
Ron glanced at Xavier in surprise, the female knight would actually help him speak.
"That said, but—" Sefera was about to say something, but suddenly she felt the corners of her clothes being pulled hard, and when she looked down, she saw that it was Sylvie who was pulling her clothes.
The little girl also had tears in her eyes, and she knew very well that this was likely to be a farewell to Ron.
"By the way, Sephira, I have some things to hide from you about me and Sylvie. Ron took a deep breath: "My home is actually in the Duchy of Noah in the Fjords of Death, and Sylvie is actually the little girl I rescued from the slave traders, I only know that her hometown is in the Weshale Empire, if I don't come up, then I will be considered to have died under this water." If Sivir still wants to return to Wieshal, please take Sylvie with Jack, and if Sylvie wants to stay in the Duchy of Noah, then please escort her for a ride, my friend is in the Boer territory of the Duchy of Noah, a small territory that has just been established. ”
Sefera nodded solemnly.
"Miss Sivir, I think we can go. Is there anything else you would like to instruct?" Ron looked at Sivir.
"I'm not like you, and I have last words to say. Sivir walked straight to the box, took out the gill grass inside, and spread it flat on his arm.
"We have six pieces for one person. Sivir said, "After eating it, immediately jump into the water, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”
The dried herbs were filled with the smell of rotting and moldy, and Ron even doubted that such a thing could be late to his stomach, but Sivir beside him had already taken the herbs down with the water in the water bladder, and jumped into the lake.
Ron glanced back again, and Sephira nodded at him.
"Mr. Ron, we'll take care of Miss Sylvie, I owe you a favor. Delansco waved at Ron as well. This knight, who was a little out of sight with him at first, couldn't help but reddened his eyes a little.
"Well, take care, everybody!" Ron suddenly remembered the way he said goodbye in his previous life, Ron clenched his hands into fists, bowed slightly to the people on the shore, and immediately stuffed the gill grass into his mouth.
"Plop!"
Ron's figure quickly disappeared into the lake.
Sylvie couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and threw herself into Sephira's arms, howling loudly. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
