And that's exactly what happened.

At this time, Ryuichi was sitting in an object called a 'worm cart'.

Yes, Ryuichi can only describe this thing in terms of 'object'.

Essentially, it was a giant worm with three rows of diamond teeth on its head, and it made its way through the earth, cutting and swallowing everything they came across, and after the three rows of teeth were shattered, it entered the body of the worm cart, and then a special gelatinous substance fused into its body, forming something like concrete, seeping out of its skin and reinforcing all the passages it walked.

And after the body of the insect car, there will be sections of chitin frame. These frames are part of the bug car that are not needed, but they have been artificially converted into cabins. At this time, in the cabin, Long Yi and the second prince sat side by side in extremely narrow seats. Opposite them was a little girl with gray-white hair and even more pale skin. It seems that it is not much older than the nine-year-old Xiao Zi.

She is the legendary Dark Saintess, and she is eighteen years old.

The Darklings are a mysterious race that lives underground. They are generally short, pale-skinned, with gray-gray hair and eyes that glow at night. Their eyes are able to receive a wider range of the spectrum and are able to see infrared and ultraviolet rays, which allows them to see at night.

It's just that there is something wrong with the girl's eyes when she looks at Long Yi.

Things have to start with last night.

When Ryuichi tells Erin that he is leaving, Erin immediately wants to go with Ryuichi. But Ryuichi must not be able to take Erin with him. After all, Long Yi at this time was looking for an excuse to take refuge.

So, this time, Long Yi fled overnight and rented a Thunder Eagle and went straight to the imperial city. Three o'clock in the morning. Ryuichi arrives at the Royal Academy. And met Dean Magdeburg, at this time Dean Magdeburg had already received the news that Long Yi was about to arrive, and as soon as he saw Long Yi appear, he immediately rushed to the warehouse with Long Yi.

Then, in the warehouse, Ryuichi saw a row of battle armor that had been repaired, and the legendary Undercity Golem.

"Big Sister Golem. Look, that's your friend. ”

Long Yi said to the Adamantite Golem.

It turned out to be the Undercity Golem. The appearance is also a female image, and the figure is very outstanding. However, unlike the Golem Sister, this Golem's body is made of black metal and wood.

"In the case of an imitation, I was amazed by its structure. The Adamantite Golem said. "Especially since they've made the structure of their battle armor more suitable for the Darklings. ”

"What? This is also a battle armor?" asked Dean Anjid in surprise.

"How long has it been since you've eaten?" the Adamantite Golem tapped on the black armor's chest. Then, the armor opened. With his small, frail figure, he slipped out of it and was held by the Adamantite Golem.

"Luckily, I arrived just in time. "Otherwise, the White Dragon Empire will be the first nation to go to war with the Dark City by starving the Dark Maiden." ”

Is this the Dark Maiden?

The dragon leaned his head over and looked at it carefully.

It seems like she's just a normal cute little girl, and there's nothing special about it.

The appearance of the Dark Saintess has attracted the attention of many people, and the Dark Saintess, who ranks second on the list of the best companions for men, is here. Everyone wants to know what makes her so special.

However, although the Dark Saint looks like a little girl who does not know the world. But the action is very organized.

It turned out that since the news that the White Dragon Empire had repaired the airship and the golem spread, the Undercity also got the news. The Undercity has long had a tradition of replacing labor with golems. Even the Golems of the Undercity are only shoddy imitations of the giants' techniques. And there hasn't been much progress over the years. Now that the White Dragon Empire has made progress, the Dark City is naturally very interested, but the Dark City is sure that the White Dragon Empire can smoothly agree to help the Dark City. Therefore, the Dark Saintess decided to go to the White Dragon Empire as an envoy, but before that, the Dark Saintess decided to observe the people of the White Dragon Empire from a distance.

Then, at a site where the ruins were developed, the dragon knights who guarded them found the battle armor controlled by the Dark Maiden and restrained it. In order to prevent danger, the Dark Maiden did not declare her identity, and in this armor, she was almost starved to death.

Long Yi couldn't help but wonder, why did this dark saintess look stupid and stupid. Wouldn't it be better to go through formal channels if you were an envoy?

At this moment, the second prince also arrived with the escort group of the Dark City.

Each of the Undercity's guards has a piece of combat armor, all of which are designed to be a combination of metal and wood. Light enough, but also strong enough. However, it is still much smaller than the ones that have been restored by the Academy of Sciences, and there is not enough metal. If you had seen these battle armors in the past, it is estimated that everyone in the White Dragon Empire researchers present would have blushed, but now the situation is different, the battle armor possessed by the White Dragon Empire is even more advanced!

After a brief exchange, the Dark Saintess also realized that the man in front of her, who was tall even among humans, was the key person in repairing these armors.

"Mr. Ryuichi, I ask for your help on behalf of the Undercity. The Dark Maiden pleaded.

Long Yi didn't speak, but glanced at the second prince.

This matter basically belongs to the category of exchanges between countries, this kind of technique can be said to be highly confidential, and Long Yi is a citizen of the White Dragon Empire, so he is naturally obliged to consult the emperor's opinion.

"The White Dragon Empire believes that it is important to maintain friendly relations with the Undercity, so we are willing to help the Undercity. Of course, we also hope to go one step further in deepening the political and economic exchanges between the White Dragon Empire and the Undercity. ”

The second prince directly threw out the official words.

"Then, when are we leaving?" asked the Dark Maiden.

"Where are you going?"

"Naturally it's the Dark City!" said the Dark Maiden.

"Is the Undercity far away?"

"It's less than ten hours away. ”

"What are you going to do there?"

"Help us restore a real golem. ”

"In that case, you can do it at any time. ”

Then, less than an hour later, in the courtyard of the Royal Academy, the giant head of the insect cart drilled through the solid bluestone floor. Then, in a state of confusion about the unknown, the group embarked on the road to the Undercity.

"Brother, this is a bit sudden, I don't feel mentally prepared, and there is no foreshadowing. In the worm car, Long Yi whispered to the second prince.

"Actually, it's not sudden, the Undercity's intention has already been submitted to my father, and several ministers have agreed to help the Undercity. After all, the Undercity was originally very good at golems and battle armor, and our visit was just the icing on the cake. And this time, if we can exchange for some more useful resources, then we will basically earn it. The second prince said.

"Speaking of the Emperor, has your father been getting better lately? Ryuichi asked.

"No, and it seems to be getting worse. I coughed up blood that day, and I started to have a high fever in the past two days, and I was even a little confused. Several doctors have seen it, and they can't say what happened. He didn't take the medicine given to his father, so I went to the water spirit for help, and the water spirit also said that there was nothing he could do. A worried look appeared on the second prince's face.

"It can't be poisoning, right?" Ryuichi immediately thought of this classic episode. Xiao Zi behind him immediately poked Long Yi's back across the seat.

The second prince didn't speak, but his brows became deeper and deeper. Long Yi immediately realized that it was his big mouth, after all, the emperor's poisoning was a big deal, and if he was not careful, it might become a shocking event.

Then, everyone didn't say anything all the way, and Long Yi, who was bored, simply lay there and fell asleep. Xiao Zi looked at Long Yi's aggrieved appearance, and said pitifully: "It's really embarrassing for him, he can still sleep in such a small place." ”

The Adamantite Golem pouted: "I don't have a heart or lungs, so I can fall asleep!"

I don't know how long it took to wake up, but as soon as the dragon woke up, the insect car was slowing down. But I saw fireflies in the sky, and in the distance, there was a huge fortress of great grandeur!

The Dark Maiden whispered, "Welcome to the Dark City. ”

The Dark City, as the name deserves to be called, is basically shrouded in darkness in a city built underground. The fireflies flying in the sky simply couldn't illuminate too much of the area. Long Yi grabbed it casually and saw that the firefly was not a firefly, but a machine less than the size of a fingernail, and its huge belly glowed faintly.

The bug cart stopped in the city, and the appearance of the first and second princes, as well as the escorts, immediately caused a commotion.

"It's a giant! look! it's a giant!" said the dwarf Darkling, pointing.

"In their eyes, we are all giants. The second prince, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

But Long Yi only smiled a little awkwardly, but did not speak, because he was surprised to find that the giants that these Dark Clansmen were talking about were not the Second Prince or his escorts!

When everyone was talking about the giant, they were all looking at Long Yi! Under the dim light, the second prince didn't see clearly, but Long Yi saw it clearly!

Is it a coincidence? Or do they really see it?

If they see it, then the Dark Maiden should see it too.

There's something wrong with that.

The appearance of the human attracted onlookers, but no one chased too far, and it was clear that the Dark Clan was still very cautious. However, when they suddenly came to such a dark place, people were not very comfortable, and the second prince and his escorts often bumped into some places. However, Long Yi is still acting very normal, Bajie and Xiaoyou are both dragons, and their night vision ability is originally good. Xiao Zi is a banshee, there is no entity, and when she encounters obstacles, she floats directly over. And the Adamantite Golem doesn't tell things through light at all!(To be continued......
