A long suspension bridge was presented to the trio. As Byron said, there were no planks on the drawbridge, only a number of chains connecting the ends of the passage. Fortunately, the gap between the chains was not very large, and even a small foot like Joshua would not fall.

Joshua walked to the edge of the bridge and looked down, and he looked completely bottomless. "If you fall from here, you'll definitely be crushed!"

"But do we have any choice?" Byron said, "Geraint and I can easily pass over, that is, your ...... under His Majesty the King."

I wouldn't be afraid, Joshua thought, but gasped again at the sight of the towering suspension bridge. But in the end, he still held Geraint's hand and motioned for the other party to lead him through the darkness and cross the drawbridge as soon as possible. Byron walked very fast, and whispered from time to time: "Everyone must be careful, the weight of three people is on it, the suspension bridge will definitely shake very much, be sure to hold on to the iron ring on it." Joshua looked up and saw a chain extending from above, and he couldn't tell how far the top of the chain was from the drawbridge because of the darkness of the passage.

Byron went up to the bridge first, grabbed the hoop and led the way. Joshua put his arm around Geraint's waist as he asked, and followed Geraint slowly. The three of them reached the middle of the drawbridge, and suddenly a light appeared in front of them, but it was too dim to resemble the sun, but as they approached quickly, it gradually became brighter. After a while, Byron quickly stopped, and Joshua turned his head to look in both directions, and it turned out that the drawbridge had entered a narrow tunnel, somewhat like the arch beams of the bridge.

"You need to be extra careful now, pay attention to the rhythm of your footsteps. Byron said suddenly and solemnly.

"Why is that?"

"Look closely at what is on the rock walls on either side of the tunnel, and that's where the light came from. ”

When Geraint looked closely, it turned out that there were several ornate braziers on the rock wall, arranged on each other on both sides, and shaped into the shape of a dragon's head, and small flames could erupt from the open mouths. The flames glowed with a faint yellow light, but compared to the darkness of the tunnel, it was already precious. But the headache is that the distance of the pillar of fire is just enough to reach the drawbridge, which is obviously another powerful mechanism.

"The brazier here has been enchanted with fire," Byron said, alternating his grip on the iron ring with both hands, and the chain creaked, and flakes of dust seemed to fall on the ceiling, "Come, the jets of fire are regular, and follow my rhythm." ”

According to Byron's rhythm, Geraint himself also observed the time interval of the flamethrow, and slowly advanced, but he could feel that the iron ring in this section was obviously a little hot, "Your Majesty, you must hold on, don't look below." ”

"Don't worry, I can only see the rock walls on both sides as I put my arms around your waist. "Because we have to rely on iron hoops to move forward, everyone is on their sides.

"But I wonder how long this suspension bridge is?" Joshua asked suddenly.

"I don't know much about that, but I counted the number of hoops as I went along. ”

"Geraint, you're really meticulous. How long?" Byron asked.

"There are three hundred and seventy hoops at the moment, but you should know that—"

"Yes, after three hundred and seventy rings, there are three hundred and eight rings. ”

"Six hundred and seventy-eight, that's an interesting number—"

"We must stay focused now, we haven't left the brazier area yet!" said Byron, adding, "As far as I can remember, there should be less than sixty hoops." As we walked, we were able to pass through this danger zone in no time. ”

Geraint sighed, "Sure enough, I was overthinking at the beginning, with such a drawbridge, it is absolutely impossible for a large number of troops to invade." Even if they could dodge the bow and arrows and pass through the magic iron gate, not many people would be able to break through safely after walking on this suspension bridge. ”

"So this secret passage is only suitable for a few people to escape. Byron turned his head and continued to move on, silently counting as he went.

One ring after another, the three of them continued to plunge deeper into the darkness. After passing through the brazier area, at first the vague outline of the iron ring and the rough gray stone of the wall could be seen, but now as the darkness grew, it was difficult to reach out and see five fingers. Five hundred and thirty-nine, five hundred and forty, five hundred forty-one, five hundred forty-two...... Climbing up to the 530th Ring, with Joshua with him after all, Geraint felt his arms begin to tremble and wanted to stop and rest. But when he looked down, he saw that the bottom was so dark that he could not see anything at all. Geraint was afraid that he would be left behind too much of Byron, so he moved on, five hundred and eighty-nine, five hundred and ninety-one, five hundred and ninety-one...... The hoop also stretches endlessly. Six hundred and eighteen, six hundred nineteen, six hundred and twenty ...... Finally entered the 600 mark, although his back began to ache, he threw perseverance, because he knew his responsibility. Six hundred and thirty-three, six hundred thirty-four, six hundred and thirty-five......

Byron was the first to reach the 678th ring. He felt a warm wind blowing around him, like the breath of a dragon, so he cautiously stretched out his legs and tentatively left the wire drawbridge. There was a tunnel in front of him, which was extremely cramped, and people of normal shape had to kneel down and use their hands and feet together, which was just right for Joshua. After leaving the drawbridge, Geraint let out a long sigh of relief. The shoe lightly stepped on the stone floor and motioned for Joshua to let himself go.

"It's finally passed. Geraint gasped again. "We have to keep up with each other in the tunnel ahead. Byron insisted. He knelt down and slipped into the narrow tunnel. "Looks like everyone else but me has to crawl over. Joshua laughed, "I've finally realized that sometimes being a kid is very good!"

Here, because of the echo of the tunnel, Joshua's every word seemed very real and clear, and the group continued to move on, while Byron kept tapping on the rock wall to see if there was any mechanism in the tunnel. This tunnel is the first stop out of the Temple of Light, Byron smiled while thinking, maybe I have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, generally speaking, it is impossible to set up a trap for you so early in preparation for the escape.

After a while, the three of them finally crawled out of the tunnel. But three exits were presented to them, and Byron groped for a long time to find a small iron hook between one of the stones. With a hard twist, there was a light rumbling sound around him, but in the silence it sounded like a landslide, and then a square hole appeared less than a foot to the left in front of him, and orange light penetrated.

"Alright, after this exit, you will be in the Holy Light Temple. Byron laughed. These three exits are the last level of the secret passage, and for those who come in through the secret passage, if they choose the wrong exit, it is equivalent to losing all their previous efforts. The other two exits are heading to the revolving stone staircase that will lead them to the place where the iron hoop is fused. If you're good at it, consider sliding off the hoop and continuing on the damn chain bridge.

"It's finally out. Geraint stretched and called.

"It turns out that this is the legendary Temple of Light, and this is the first time I've come in. Joshua was excited.

In the center of the Great Hall of Light, several stone tablets surrounded the source of holy light in the middle by the magic array, and even in the dark night, the source of holy light appeared to shine. "This is the source of the energy of the Holy Light Enchantment, right?" Joshua stepped closer. Suddenly, the fragment of the Holy Sword he was carrying with him seemed to resonate with the source of the Holy Light, and began to glow with a faint golden light.

"Your Majesty, what's going on with you?" and Gerante and Byron were surprised to see this, "how did this strange light come about......

"Oops~!" Joshua thought to himself, "If they ask me about the origin of the shards of the Holy Sword, how will I explain?" ”

"I don't know what's going on. Joshua suddenly thought of an excuse, "I used to pick up a few strange pieces in the back garden of the palace and took them with me. Joshua said as he scooped out the two shards of the Holy Sword from his bosom.

"Lord Byron, the shape of these two shards," Gerante felt that the two pieces of metal were a little familiar, "I think I've seen them somewhere." ”

"It's ...... This is ......" Byron had a rare look of excitement on his face, "Could it be that the legendary holy sword - Escaliba ......"

"Look, why is the Holy Light Hall so much brighter than usual tonight?" Suddenly, the voices of several guards came from outside the door of the main hall......
