Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Enrollment Mission of the Apostolic Order (II)

Long secret passages twist and turn, stretching into the endless darkness. The magic lamps on the walls on both sides had long since fallen into disrepair and were unusable, and even if someone passed by, they couldn't shine even a little bit more.

This kind of closed secret passage is often the kind of terrain that the designer of the mechanism liked the most. In the tombs of emperors in the past, there were often hundreds of mechanisms arranged in such a secret passage, and as long as someone accidentally touched it, it was either shot into a honeycomb by countless arrows, or melted into blood by acid.

Another group of the Apostles, consisting of Iphia, Mina, and Sharon, is now walking through the passage.

Several transparent glowing jellyfish swam around Mina, illuminating the dark passage and adding a touch of life to the boring passage.

Originally, Hercules was supposed to follow up, but because he was too big to come in, he could only regret guarding outside.

"I said, what is this mission to find a secret treasure?" Mina looked at the yellowed old map in her hand, looking left and right, looking up and down, and she couldn't see where the treasure was buried.

It only reads "The most precious treasure is hidden in the belly of the Dragon of Dusk, and only the most courageous and willing warriors can find it".

It's not like Mina hasn't seen such a thing as a treasure map, as the deputy head of the Dark Skull Pirate Regiment, she has participated in the group's treasure hunting activities more than once. I've found a lot of interesting things on the small islands off the coast, which is an interesting pastime in pirate life.

However, those treasure maps are generally left by similar pirate groups, and basically use the skulls that pirates love to use to mark the area where the treasure is hidden, which is like this map to write riddles. (It's impossible for a low-level pirate to get something so troublesome)" probably wants us to solve the riddle. Without Hercules by her side, Ifia seemed a little unaccustomed. But the person who designed this passage obviously didn't think about the entry of the two-meter-and-a-half tall black giant.

"Search in all directions. Sharon's answer was simple and straightforward, as a man-made demon, she was an example of absolute faithfulness to her orders, so she would not hesitate to do so, even if it were to search this dark underground passage for a hundred years.

Problems that only take time to solve, no matter how troublesome and boring, are simple problems for space demons who are used to living by the rules.

"Hey, it's going to take too long, use your space movement to search for it!" Mina obviously didn't have that patience, in fact she was already impatient. Because since receiving this inexplicable enrollment task, she has been spinning around with Ifia and Sharon for a long time in this large labyrinth known as the "Twilight Corridor".

Contrary to the "Crusade against the Ice Dragon" mission that Arcelia and the others are responsible for, this mission does not require much combat power, but it is more troublesome. I don't know where the headmaster found this task from the yellowed pile of old papers, apparently deliberately trying to cause trouble for the Apostolic Order's enrollment.

"Teleportation is interfered with here and cannot be accurately located. Sharon shook her head.

Having broken her core once, all she could now use was a short jump, and in this maze corridor with extremely complex terrain, if it was mispositioned, it would cause irreparable consequences. And there's a magic that interferes with her calculations, preventing her from accurately calculating the thickness of the walls and what's behind them.

So, now she can only move to a position that her eyes can determine at short distances.

"Ah, trouble, trouble! I want to find someone to rob her!" "Mina hasn't done her job since she kidnapped some hapless duke last time. Although she ate well and slept well in the Apostles' Regiment, she always felt that she was a little inadequate.

Originally, she thought that this task of finding the secret treasure would be interesting, so she volunteered to lead the team. I didn't expect it to be such a boring task, I searched for it for so long, not to mention the secret treasure or something, and there was not even a shadow of a monster.

This is built in a remote corner of the Radiant Academy, and it is said that the experimental labyrinth "Dusk Corridor" established by a certain great magician who has studied space magic in the past, is said to hide a very remarkable secret treasure, but no one has found it for so many years. Headmaster Claude gave the apostles the quest, apparently endangering them.

"For my records, we've searched thirty percent of the area. Eliminate duplicate areas and require more time to search for the remaining regions. Sharon reported the progress of the current maze exploration with a blank face, and as a space demon, she could not go wrong on this record.

Mina hates to hear such boring numbers the most, and the sea and passionate battles are what she yearns for.

"Don't you think you're talking too boring, Sharon?" Mina reached out and pinched Sharon's pink face, the soft touch reminded her of a delicious meat bun.

"Please don't hinder my search, stay away from me. Sharon's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, calm and intelligent, which is a trait common to all spatial demons.

"I'm hungry!" Mina, who had been walking in this dark underground corridor for so long, eating only some simple food that she had brought with her, had a fierce look in her eyes, very, very fierce, as if to tell everyone that my stomach was already hungry.

Now she can eat one, no, ten cows! After getting the continent general free meal card issued by the Supreme God Sect, Mina has not been so hungry for a long time. In the sea, she can dive into the deep sea at any time to find big fish to eat, but in this dark underground corridor, not to mention fish, not even geckos.

"I'm a little hungry too. Ifia also said with some embarrassment, because she didn't expect to spend so much time searching, the team only carried a day's worth of food. In fact, within three hours of the search, Mina had eaten all the food she had prepared, and now the only thing left of the group was a bear biscuit in Iffia's pocket.

Sharon obviously didn't think of this problem either, the space demon only needed to directly extract the magic power in the earth and air to survive. She had slept in the Carral Mountains for an unknown number of years, taking it for granted, but humans seemed to be unable to do so.

In fact, this is already a very serious problem, and Mina, who sees Sharon's cute face becoming more and more like a meat bun, is about to drool.

Just when the situation was about to develop out of control, the twilight corridor, which seemed to extend all the way to the end of the world, suddenly appeared with a different view.

It was a door that didn't know where it led, there were some pieces of wood scattered in front of the door, and a chair with a missing leg fell in the corner, as if it would fall apart in the next second. The walls around the door were covered with large patches of moss, and on the top of the door was written a line - "This is the entrance to the Dragon of Dusk, you who have courage, prepare sacrifices to get the treasure you want!"

"Hahaha, I've finally found it!" Mina rubbed her hands and kicked the old-looking door.

"Boom!", the door that looked fragile was unexpectedly strong, and it didn't turn into pieces after being kicked so hard by Mina, and it opened crookedly to reveal the hidden world at the door.

A palace that was completely incompatible with the dark underground corridors and dilapidated gates caught the eye of Mina and Sharon.

It is a brightly lit magic hall, and chandeliers made of hundreds of magic gems hang from the dome, emitting a soft glow in all directions. Intricate carvings adorn the perimeter of the hall, with four marble columns carved with angel statues standing in the center of the hall, surrounding a huge treasure chest encrusted with precious stones.

Indeed, no matter which way you look at it, this treasure chest encrusted with countless gems is certainly a good thing. The rubies, sapphires, lapis lazuli, and multicolored diamonds set on the outside of the treasure chest are all valuable precious gemstones.

On the other hand, the things collected by such a gorgeous gem chest naturally bring people infinite reverie.

As a pirate girl, Mina naturally couldn't resist the temptation of this golden glitter, and immediately ran in front of this diamond treasure chest, ready to open it.

"Wait!" A loud voice suddenly rang out, shaking the entire hall with a buzz.

"Wow!" was startled, Mina jumped straight into the air, then grabbed her large iron anchor and looked at the thing she was talking with a wary face—the huge gem chest.

"To get my treasures, you must offer sacrifices of sufficient value. The huge chest swayed and floated, and a pair of large eyes appeared on the surface of the chest, like two large light bulbs.

"Huh, it's a beautiful girl this time, what's going on?" After seeing Mina, Ifia, and Sharon clearly, the huge treasure chest seemed to be surprised by each other.

"Is there anyone else here this time but us?" asked Sharon calmly.

"Of course, otherwise you would think how you got the decorations in this hall. Didn't that guy tell you the rules?" the huge chest spun around before staring directly at the invading apostle trio.

"What is the sacrifice?" asked Iffia curiously.

"It's not about limiting anything specific, as long as it's valuable enough. However, the value benchmark is up to me to judge, and according to the value of the sacrifice you give, you can get a treasure of the same value. The huge treasure chest shook its head, but its eyes quietly stared at the three girls who had their own cuteness.

The lively and healthy little pirate Mina, the calm and composed space demon Sharon, and the curious and innocent snow maiden Iphia, no matter which one of them, in the eyes of the huge treasure chest, they are the best of the best.

"If you say, it's enough to change the underwear you're wearing now. ”
