It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.

A few of Lux, who had had enough of playing, also got into the carriage and went home.

Two hours later, the figures of Lucci and Quinn also quietly left the courtyard.

Late at night.

In the dead of night, in the jungle path outside the royal capital.

The three figures were moving forward quickly and purposefully.

Dupont looked at Marta in front of him and asked, "How are you preparing?" ”

His tone was a little more urging.

The longer he stayed in the royal capital, the more uneasy he became.

Moreover, this matter cannot be delayed.

He was still in Glenlot's brother, and he didn't know how much time he had left.

Marta replied: "Don't worry, after this day's preparations, I am confident that I can break the seal. ”

"That's good."

Dupont glanced at Panis, who was following closely, and said soothingly, "After tonight, everything will be fine." ”

"Hmm."

Panis nodded.

The three of them continued to sneak, and soon came to the mouth of the cave they had visited yesterday.

Two torches were then lit, one by Dupont and one by Panis.

Glancing around, the three of them slowly entered the cave.

There wasn't much space in the cave, so I walked about twenty or thirty meters forward, made a detour, and reached the end.

And at the end, there is a plain mountain wall, empty, nothing.

The three of them looked at the somewhat flat mountain wall and were silent.

Marta stepped forward and slowly pulled out her staff.

As she chanted the incantation, a burst of magic overflowed from the tip of the staff, drifting towards the wall.

In an instant, with a "hum", a burst of purple light lit up on the stone wall, and as the light became more and more abundant, a formation composed of mysterious spells slowly formed.

Blocking all discovery.

"This is a seal array left by a powerful magician."

Marta said to herself, with an interested smile on her face, "I really didn't expect that Demacia would come to such a powerful mage. ”

However, her preparation for the whole day was not in vain.

As an ancient inheritor of astrological spells, she also has a long history of learning magic and knows many things that the world does not know.

Looking at the sealing array in front of her, Marta began to chant the incantation, and the staff was carved on the sealing array with her movements.

The next moment, something strange happened.

The spell on the sealing array, as if it were mechanical, turned a little, and the light weakened a little.

Then, with a few movements of Marta, the spell on the sealing array began to rotate continuously, and each rotation made the light even dimer.

At the last time, a brighter light suddenly lit up, as if it was returning to the light, and the next second it completely dissipated.

Suddenly, the stone wall, which looked extremely neat, began to collapse.

The cave shook.

Dupont stood in front of Panis, watching warily at the shaking cave and the falling rubble.

"Don't worry, it's just that what's behind the seal is about to unfold."

Marta spoke up.

When the plumbing smoke and dust cleared, a gate made of pure white stone wall suddenly appeared at the location of the stone wall just now.

"It's . Forbidden Magic Stone? ”

DuPont looked at the door in front of him, and some doubts appeared in his eyes.

The material of this gate is somewhat similar to the forbidden magic stone in his impression.

"Yes, it's the Forbidden Magic Stone."

With an unsurprised expression, Marta turned to look at Panis, "Princess, please use the key to open the door." ”

Hearing this, Panis slowly removed the necklace from her neck.

The key, when looked closely, seemed to be made of the same material as the door, and she stepped forward and inserted the key into the keyhole of the door.

It only felt that the door was heavy, so she struggled to turn it to the right.

Finally, there was a "click", as if some switch had been triggered, and then with a "boom", a crack in the door appeared.

Seeing the door open, Panis pulled out the key and hung it back around her neck.

At this time, DuPont stepped forward, put his hand on the door, and pushed hard.

The heavy forbidden demon gate slowly opened, revealing a deep corridor behind it and the unknown at the end of the corridor.

Finally came to this point, and all three of them took a deep breath.

Then, he stepped through the door.

The temperature inside was a little cold, as if it had dropped a few degrees before I knew it.

The light of the torch illuminated the inside, and the three of them made their way to the end, where they found a spiral staircase.

Then, step by step, they walked down, and gradually saw some light sources.

At the bottom level, they saw some peculiar stone pillars, emitting a continuous white light, providing light to the entire space.

This is a large hall with obvious traces of construction.

Look inside the main hall.

I saw that in this small space, there are several booths made of white stone pillars, and the treasures stored on the booths are full of historical traces one after another.

It seems that no one has been to this place for a long time, and naturally there is a lot of dust accumulated in it.

"Sure enough, the legend of the treasure trove is not fake."

Marta looked at these treasures with excitement and excitement in her eyes.

This legend has been circulating in her family for a long time.

There is a mysterious treasure trove in Demacia, which contains a number of powerful relics and treasures, each of which holds great power.

And in this treasure house, there is a powerful holy relic that can change the fate of her family!

There was also a hint of excitement on the faces of Dupont and Panis.

If this treasure trove really exists, then that means that the holy relic in the legend of the royal family really exists!

The two of them threw down the torches in their hands and immediately stepped forward.

The vault is bright enough that there is no need for bright lighting.

They began to split up and look at the treasures on each of the stands, but when they found that they were not looking for them, they immediately moved on to the next one.

"This"

At this time, when DuPont touched a treasure and wanted to observe it carefully, he found that as soon as he held it in his hand, this treasure turned into a pile of dust and dissipated, and then he was stunned for a moment: "What is the situation?" ”

Marta glanced at it and said casually: "In the long passage of time, they are just like us humans, and they can't resist the erosion of time. It is normal to eventually dissipate in this world, and among these, only those who are not afraid of the passage of time are the real treasures. ”

She raised her staff and casually reached for a treasure.

Sure enough, the moment her staff touched the treasure, the treasure quickly turned into dust and dissipated.

"This treasure trove is at least a few hundred years old." Marta looked around, still excited: "And we are the first people to arrive here in these hundreds of years. ”

She also began to search, trying to find out what treasures had not been corrupted by time.

Seeing this, Dupont and Panis also began to touch those treasures, praying in their hearts that what they were looking for would not be like this.

Panis then came to a booth that was twice as large as usual, and glanced at the treasures on the booth with a strange expression.

It is a strangely shaped shield with hooked corners like blade claws on both sides, and the overall color is silvery-white, inlaid with gold edges.

In the middle, there is a long, prismatic ruby.

The color of the claws was a bright red color.

Even after a long period of time, it does not look like it has been corroded by the years, and it still looks like a new oven.

The difference from other treasures is that on this shield, there are also chains made of forbidden magic stones.

It's like it's sealed here.

Moreover, this shield gave her a very bad feeling, just looking at it made her feel cold in the back.

As she stopped, Marta spotted the shield and immediately walked towards it.

Panis glanced at it, then walked away and moved on to the next one.

This shield was definitely not what she was looking for.

When Panis looked at the three treasures again, she found that Marta was still standing in front of the shield.

The expression on his face is also getting more and more excited.

It's just that at this time, Panis didn't think much about it and continued to look for what she was looking for.

In this way, after walking past three more treasures, she stopped in front of another booth.

The moment her eyes were raised, she felt her heart skip a beat, and a strange resonance seemed to come from this moment, as if something was calling her.

Looking at the pendant-like, silver frame in front of you, under which is a colorful gemstone, there is also no trace of corrosion.

However, the brilliance of the gemstone has become very dim.

Panis reached out and trembled in the air, reaching for the jewel, and the moment she touched it, her hanging heart was also relaxed.

And it didn't dissipate.

For some reason, the moment she touched the gem, she immediately understood the name of the treasure and how it was used.

The name of this treasure is Salvation.

It is the same name as the royal rumor, the treasure given by the lilac-skinned healer.

She also suddenly understood the reason why this treasure was sealed here.

Although it is called salvation, it has extremely powerful healing powers, but the side effect is that excessive use can bring misfortune to the user.

And when it was discovered that the power to heal everything would lead to disaster, this treasure was permanently sealed here.

Now, after a long period of time, only the last vestiges of divine power are left for salvation.

I'm afraid, just enough to use it again.

However, one time is enough.

Panis's heart welled up with joy, and in this way, her father was saved.

Just then, she heard a strange sound of chains tugging, and immediately looked towards the source of the sound.

Immediately, Marta was tearing off the chains on the shield with her hands.

Because the chains were made of forbidden stones, her magic was useless, so she had to use her hands.

It seemed that Marta's strength was not small, and the chains were rattled by her tugging.

And looking at her behavior, Panis couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?" ”

"What has not been corroded by time is a real treasure."

Marta tugged at the chains and said, "Shouldn't we bring such a treasure back to our homeland?" ”

"It's wrapped like this in the chains of the forbidden magic stone, what if it's a dangerous treasure? I don't think it's better to leave it alone."

Panis recalled the chill she felt down her spine, and once again spoke out to stop Marta's actions.

"Rest assured, princess, I can assure you that it is not harmful."

Marta said with a smile at her.

With a "click", a chain was ripped off.

Panis's heart jumped, and she felt a sense of panic, and after resonating with the redemption in her hand, she could feel something more.

Inside the shield, there seemed to be a desperate roar that made her heart feel uneasy.

Thinking of this, Panis insisted: "Marta, don't do it again, we can't touch it." ”

When Dupont heard the movement, he also walked over, and when he saw the treasure in Panis's hand, his face was happy: "Did you find it?" Redemption"

"Hmm." Panis nodded, but then realized that Marta had ignored her orders.

Still tugging at the other chain, he ordered again: "Marta, I now order you, don't do this!" ”

Her body exuded the majesty of a superior person.

DuPont was surprised, "Why don't you let her do this?" ”

Panis thought for a moment and said, "That shield, it's dangerous. ”

Seeing this, Dupont didn't think much about it, and said to Marta: "Marta, we have found salvation, there is no need to move that shield again." ”

They came here for salvation, although there were other treasures that were also precious.

However, this shield is so large that Panis feels that it is dangerous, and in order to avoid extraneous branches, there is really no need to move it again.

Panis, who he grew up watching, also knew about this niece, a talent that was different from ordinary people.

Therefore, he did not doubt Panis's remarks at the moment.

Panis's face was determined at the moment, as if she had made up her mind not to allow Marta to touch the shield again.

As the seal weakened, the sense of danger that the shield posed to her became more and more apparent.

"You are here for salvation, and I am here for this shield."

At this moment, Marta's face turned cold as if she had changed into a different person: "Originally, I thought that in order to avoid accidents, I would do it on the road." ”

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her staff, and suddenly a wave of magic shot at Dupont unexpectedly.

The latter didn't have time to react at all, and was hit by the magic attack, snorted, and fell on the spot.

"Uncle!"

Panis exclaimed.

"Don't worry, princess, I'm not stupid enough to kill him here." Marta looked at the vigilant Panis with a pale expression: "I have to say, your magic ability is indeed in the way. But don't worry, you just need to sleep for a while, and there will be no problem. ”

Kill Dupont and Panis here, and Demacia will find out tomorrow.

And Marta didn't want to get Demacia's attention.

Otherwise, she may not be able to let go of her hands and feet in Demacia.

As she spoke, she had recited the incantation, and soon another wave of magic struck at Panis.

Panis doesn't have much fighting power, she just has an unusually good sense and a higher talent for magic.

At this moment, in the face of Marta's attack, he could only dodge in panic.

But he was still hit by this magic in the body.

However, the next second there was no response.

"I almost forgot that you still have the key on you."

Seeing this, Marta was not surprised to think of anything.

The key was made of the Forbidden Stone, and it had the power to resist magic.

And the attack she just now was just a stun spell, and it wasn't very aggressive, and it was normal to be immune.

"Why are you doing that?" Panis looked at Marta at this time, with a puzzled expression: "Aren't you the chief magician of the royal family?" ”

Marta's family began to work for the royal family of Granlot at an early age.

And Marta is now the chief of the royal family, why would he do this?

"My family's relationship with the royal family has always been just a hire, not a loyalty at all."

Marta had a calm expression on her face: "The reason why I came to Glenlot in the first place was just to take advantage of your royal family. Now with this shield, even that throne is within our reach. ”

Panis was stunned, she didn't expect this to be the case, and said in disbelief, "So you've been using us all along."

At the beginning, when he found Dupont, it was Marta who found the place of salvation.

As soon as the two heard this, for the sake of the sick king, they did not hesitate to follow and set off for Demacia.

Unexpectedly, she has been using her all along, for this key to open the door to the treasure house.

"Am I lying? Salvation is indeed in this treasure trove. ”

Marta smiled, "But soon, it'll be mine too." ”

At the thought that she was going to take even salvation, Panis immediately stepped back even more vigilantly, looking around for hope of escape.

She didn't shout loudly, even she knew that this was a deep mountain and old forest, and there was no one outside.

Shouting is useless.

"Give up struggling, princess. Take off the necklace and you just have to have a long dream, forget everything about it, and go back to Granlot. ”

Marta recited the incantation, and the staff began to glow with even greater magic.

Panis anxiously thought of a way, and her legs moved at the same time, and she fled at full speed in the direction of the exit.

However, within two steps, a spell slammed in front of her, sending her several meters away.

The heavy brush fell to the ground, and the pain in her body was not as good as Panis's despair at the moment.

She knew that the magic she had learned was no match for Marta at all, and there was no way for her to escape in the deep mountains and forests.

What to do?

At this moment, with a "bang", an arrow flew away violently, shooting towards Marta, extremely fast.

However, just as it was about to hit Marta, the arrow clicked as if it had hit something, and there was a cracking sound, and then it lost power and fell to the ground.

In mid-air, what was revealed was a magical barrier.

"So cautious?"

Luki walked slowly through the entrance, looking at Marta.

It's rare for him to see such a cautious villain.

After following him for a long time, Lu Qi didn't expect that there was a script of a hero saving beauty waiting for him.

Panis: They were indeed looking for some treasure, and when they glanced at what Panis's hand had, wasn't it salvation?

Lucci still recognizes the equipment.

It seems that this is the treasure they are looking for this time.

Soon, Luki's eyes looked at the shield over there, and his brow furrowed.

It's not a treasure.

At this moment, Marta was also a little stunned by this sudden arrow, and then she looked at Lu Qi at the entrance and was stunned for a moment.

"His Royal Highness?"

Panis also spotted Luqi at the entrance, looking surprised and dazed.

In the hearts of the two people, a question rose at the same time.

Why is Lucci here?

What Marta doesn't understand is why she can still be followed here when she has set up an anti-tracking magic?

Moreover, she didn't even notice that someone was following her in the process.

The most outrageous thing is that this person turned out to be the prince of Demacia.

At this moment, Marta suddenly had a feeling that things were going on to be big.

She glanced at Panis, knowing that the princess had been in close contact with the prince recently, but she also looked at her with a dazed expression.

Obviously, it also shows that she did not disclose the actions of several people.

So how did Luckye end up here?
