"Click, click."

The empty corridor was silent, except for the footsteps of a group of people. Ah came to see the group of guards around them, and finally couldn't stand the dull atmosphere, and said, "Hey, where are you going to take us?" ”

Just a few minutes ago, since Xiaolan called out Eldridge's name, the cavalry surrounding Lou Bai and his party was like robots that had been unplugged, and they were momentarily motionless.

It wasn't until Xiaolan was about to get started and touch them that these cavalrymen, who had turned into golden sculptures, ...... Came to life in a hurry?

They stepped off their horses, turned and opened the gate, and then stood motionless in front of the gate, as if they were a god.

"They're ...... Can we please come in? ”

Looking at this scene, Lou Bai touched his chin and turned his head to look at Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, is this reliable?" ”

"Well, Uncle Eldridge is a very gentle man!"

Xiaolan nodded happily and walked towards the gate first. Seeing this, Lou Bai hurriedly followed, and by the way, he pulled up Ah Lai, who was reluctant on the side.

Upon entering the palace, the cavalry vanished, replaced by a group of guards in jackets and scimitars at their waists—after all, the corridors were not wide enough for people to gallop.

"Hey, I said boss, this can't be a trap, right?"

Feeling the breath of the undead elves unique to the palace, Ah Lai leaned to Lou Bai's side and whispered, "I always have a bad premonition." ”

Lou Bai didn't say much, just replied: "Believe Xiaolan." ”

Just when the anxiety caused by Alai's inner turmoil was about to reach its peak, they finally met the owner of the place. As the group of guards pushed open a door, the three of them were greeted by a golden hall. At the top of the hall was a throne that was also golden.

Behind the throne is a ring of the sun carved out of gold. On either side of the ring, there are two splendid columns. And in the center of the column, the king of this golden city, [Golden Qing - Golden Kingdom Lich] is sitting in the center of the throne.

"Xiaolan, I remember, I didn't send you a letter of appointment recently?"

Before Lou Bai could speak, the moment they saw Xiao Lan, Eldridge on the throne immediately sat up straight and asked such a question. Although there was no expression in the golden mask, Lou Bai always felt that Eldridge seemed to be a little nervous?

Nervous...... It's impossible, right? After all, Xiaolan is so cute, who would be afraid of Xiaolan?

"No, Uncle Eldridge!" Xiaolan stood beside Lou Bai, waved his hand at Eldridge enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "It's just that I happened to bump into it, so come in and see Uncle Eldridge!" ”

"Oh, I see."

Eldridge's tense body visibly relaxed. He leaned comfortably on his throne, supported his head with one hand, and said: "Since this is the case, then I will rest assured, no, I am saying, Xiaolan, you still remember me, I am very happy." ”

Hey, you just said the word "reassuring", right? Absolutely!

Of course, Eldridge on the throne couldn't feel Lou Bai's complaints, he turned his gaze to Lou Bai below, looked at him with curiosity, and asked, "That kid, is that Xiaolan, your current master?" ”

"That's right, now I'm Xiaolan's master." Lou Bai smiled dotingly and touched Xiaolan's head: "This kid is still very reliable." ”

"Reliable...... Is it? ”

There was a hint of disbelief in Eldridge's tone. Looking at Xiaolan and Ah Lai below, he pondered for a while and said, "Xiaolan, you and this guest go to the garden behind to have a look, and I'll talk to your current master for a while." ”

"Okay......"

Looking at the two who were about to talk about business, Xiaolan was a little reluctant, but she still obediently pulled Ah Lai towards the door. As soon as she stepped out of the door, her little head came in again and said, "Then don't quarrel with you!" ”

It wasn't until Xiaolan's figure completely disappeared that the hall returned to silence. As soon as Eldridge waved his hand, the guards outside the door carried in a sofa and placed it behind Lou Bai.

"You may be seated, this mighty duelist." Eldridge leaned on the throne and said casually, "Please rest assured, I have no ill will towards you, and I have no reason to be your enemy. ”

It seems that the little golden man in front of him is very easy to talk, or is his relationship with Xiaolan that makes him have this attitude? Thinking wildly in his head, Lou Bai sat on the sofa. Well, it's a bit high, and it's cold and hard.

"Xiaolan, that kid, I really can't handle it." Eldridge, who looked like a big boss, opened his mouth and exchanged "parenting experience" with Lou Bai, and after hesitating for a while, he continued: "But she's still quite likable, well, although a little hairy." ”

"Hairy...... That's true. ”

Recalling his card deck that had been washed once, Lou Bai couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, nodded in agreement, and continued: "But in business, Xiaolan is still quite reliable. Let's just say that my deck needs a little blue. ”

"Really? It seems that Xiaolan has found a good master. ”

After a sigh, Eldridge finally got to the point: "So, what is the purpose of your coming to my kingdom?" ”

"At first, it was just an accident."

Because of the conversation just now, the tense atmosphere between the two from the beginning has been suddenly lifted, and Lou Bai also generously put forward his own demand: "Now, I want to ask for directions." Do you have any way to meet the Pharaoh who rules the underworld? ”

"Oh? Someone still took the initiative to find that one? If it's convenient, can you tell us why? Eldridge leaned forward with an interested look.

"Nothing inconvenient." There was no hesitation on Lou Bai's face, and he said firmly: "I want to get the approval of that pharaoh and return to the present world from the underworld." ”

"Hey, hahahaha!" Hearing Lou Bai's reason, Eldridge showed a hearty laugh: "Sure enough, no one who is recognized by Xiaolan will be bad." Although your words seem like a fool's dream, that courage alone is precious! ”

After laughing for a while, Eldridge stopped and said seriously: "Originally, after meeting you, I wanted to have a fight with you to see if you were worthy of Xiaolan's follow." But since you're going to do such a big thing, then I have no reason to drain your energy. ”

Looking at Eldridge's appearance, Lou Bai couldn't help frowning: "That pharaoh, is he so prestigious?" ”

"All I can say is that He is the King who is above me, who rules over all the dead, over history, and over the past."

Eldridge stood up from his throne and sighed, "I can't remember exactly when the man who dared to challenge the king appeared. But this time, I want to witness history with my own eyes. Keep up, young duelist, if you want to leave the underworld, go to the legendary existence, the Valley of the Queen's Sleep. ”

Oh no, it's the stage for Yin Xiong's battle!

As soon as he heard this name, Lou Bai's face became ugly. But after learning more about Eldridge, he had to admit that he might have to go to this place once.

"[The Valley of the King's Sleep], that is the gate that separates the underworld from the present world, and it is also where the will of the Pharaoh lies. If you want to come back to this world, you have to pass its test. ”

This is Eldridge's original words, in simple and easy-to-understand words, the underworld is like a community half a year ago, and the [Valley of the King's Sleep] is the gate and security of the community. If you want to get out of the community, you have to get the rules distributed by the neighborhood committee, that is, the Pharaoh.

But the difference is that the neighborhood committee here seems to be in the same place as the security guards?

After taking Xiaolan and Ah Lai with him, Lou Bai drove the van towards his destination again. However, unlike just now, this time Alai was finally able to sit in the car, and there was one more passenger in the car.

"Is this a product of this world? It's funny. ”

Although sitting in the co-pilot, Eldridge still relied on his appearance and momentum to sit out of the throne. Looking at the mechanical artifact in front of him, Eldridge commented with interest: "A wonderful idea, similar to my alchemy. ”

Lou Bai didn't know if Eldridge was talking about the van or the system itself, so he could only sigh silently. Although he has enough strength, he still can't compare with these immortal seeds in terms of knowledge reserves.

Just as he was about to drive out of a canyon, Eldridge suddenly reminded him, "Get ready, it's getting dawn." ”

"What?"

Lou Bai was stunned, it's about to dawn? Isn't the moon still hanging high in the sky? However, at this moment, the car rushed out of the cave, and Lou Bai seemed to have come to another world in an instant.

It is a brilliant golden sea of sand, dotted with green oases, exuding vitality and vitality. Of course, what shocked Lou Bai the most was not the sudden change in the environment, but the great sun that suddenly appeared in the heavenly vault.

With that blazing fireball as the source, countless rays of sunlight were splashed onto the ground, gilding all things with a layer of golden brilliance. There is a vibrant atmosphere everywhere, and the gloomy scenery you see on the road is completely different from the painting style.

Blinded by the sudden sunlight, Lou Bai hurriedly stepped on the brakes and stopped the van. Thanks to the unobstructed sand in front of him, Lou Bai did not deduct the first point on his driver's license in the underworld...... Oh, there are no traffic police and traffic laws in the underworld, that's fine.

"Where the sun shines, the will of the pharaoh is." Looking at the scenery in front of him, Eldridge couldn't help but sigh: "Even us, under the light of that person, can only have our own resting place." Even so, do you want to take on the challenge? ”

"The worst outcome is to be beaten back." Lou Bai's eyes were full of eagerness: "Where to go next?" ”

Looking at Lou Bai's appearance, Eldridge couldn't help but shake his head. Even if the benevolent king does not make a deadly move, after being defeated by absolute power, some will catch up, while others will despair because of the huge gap and eventually collapse. Let's hope the duelist in front of you is the former.

"Since you're so determined, let's go in the direction of the sun."

Nothing to say all the way. On the way forward, Lou Bai constantly adjusted his state, looking forward to meeting the next challenges with the best state. The car was quiet, and everyone seemed to be infected by this serious atmosphere, only the wheels pressed against the sand, making a rustling sound.

"Here we are."

After Eldridge said this, the scene in front of him gradually became clear. Standing in front of Lou Bai was a towering canyon, and the sun was still shining at the other end of the canyon. Through the canyon, Lou Bai could faintly see some triangular buildings, which were the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs, called pyramids.

Seeing this familiar scene, Lou Bai knew that his destination had arrived.

Lou Bai stopped the car, and Xiaolan and the others got out of the car one after another. Lou Bai took a deep breath, pressed his chest, and resolutely stepped out of the drive.

At the moment when he stood in front of the canyon, a golden pillar of light descended from the sky. The light made it difficult for him to look directly, and he couldn't help but squint.

In the light appeared a young man with a familiar starfish head. The simple style of ancient Egyptian clothing is draped over his body, and he wears a majestic momentum, making people feel as if they are looking directly at the sun.

The body is embellished with several gold ornaments, which are status symbols. And on his chest, the hanging millennium building blocks swayed gently with the breeze, indicating his identity.

"That's it...... Pharaoh. ”
