Chapter 540: The Palace Treasury
Ranaya was slightly surprised at why Banderru was so ruthless, but a positive answer was better than indecision, and after observing the movements of the fish-man warriors for a moment, and making sure that their attention was not on her, the two turned back.
It wasn't long before they realized how difficult it was to find someone in such a large and complicated palace.
They decided to go first to the treasury on the east side of the palace that Banderru had mentioned. I always feel that if I go to that place, I can either run into a fish-man guard or the first thief, and either result is good.
With what little memory he had of this place, Banderru made out the route to the vault, and when they got there, they were not either a fish-man guard or the first thief, but a deep sea troll.
The deep sea troll hung all the treasures it could carry all over his body, fins, sharp horns, teeth, and mouth, and you could tell how greedy he was by looking at him. And it was far from all of it, and there were some large items in the treasury that were not easy to carry, and perhaps the deep sea monster was about to call his companions over.
There are no corpses of fish-man soldiers around the deep-sea trolls, and it is strange that the size of the deep-sea trolls is so large, and I don't know how long it has been here, and none of the fish-man soldiers have come.
"How's this sea monster going?" said Lanaya in a low voice to Banderru.
Banderru clenched his fists in front of him, "Don't be cowardly, just do it!"
The deep sea troll sensed the whispering between the two and turned its head.
Ten seconds later......
The deep sea monster has fallen, and the jewels are scattered all over the place. Banderru picked out a few Abyssal Orbs and took them with him, leaving the rest on the ground, then swam to a high place and began to look around.
However, the water here is very turbid, and when it rises to a certain height, the view is severely obstructed, and nothing can be seen, not even the illuminated night pearl.
Soon they remembered the fish-man soldier that Slardar had just met, and presumably that the fish-man soldier was now also in the palace looking for his other companions in order to search for the whereabouts of the first thief, as long as they found the shadow of the fish-man soldiers.
So they lowered their height a little lower, to the point where they could see the ground, and started looking.
"Did you say that the first one would succeed and run away?" Lanaya turned on the lighting function of the amethyst ring and shone it in all directions, the effect of this thing was much better than that of the Night Pearl, the light could leave a thin line of smoke in the turbid water, and the shortest could illuminate a place twenty meters away.
"I'm a little worried right now, too. Banderru was stunned when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but point to the glowing thing in Lanaya's hand and ask, "What are you?"
Lanaya herself didn't want to explain, she said, "If you don't talk a little, you might be heard." ”
Banderru snorted at the dust, but he had to shut up, keeping his eyes fixed on where the light was shining.
"First really isn't that powerful?" the light shone on a dead fish-man soldier.
"I beat him in the ring, and he was terrible. Banderru said proudly, then smiled wryly and added, "I wasn't much better at the time." ”
Lanaya roughly understands the level of the first, if the first did not release water at that time.
With the goal of finding the first or fish-man soldier, the two of them twisted and wound around the labyrinthine palace, but what awaited them was a dead body, and they never encountered any living creatures except for the weak deep sea monster just now.
At this time, the body of the deep sea monster that was killed by Lanaya suddenly had some slight movements, and its parts that resembled fish gills actually slowly opened up, and a person came out of it, who was the first thief.
When he first came out, he was covered in blood, but he was quickly washed away by the sea.
Banderru and Lanaya had long since gone far away, and no one knew that the first was in this place.
Moreover, it seems that the First has no interest in the jewels scattered here, and he could have gotten them in his hands and left, but he didn't.
The first walked towards the entrance to the palace treasury. At this time, the entrance was open, and there was not a single guard, so it was naturally not difficult to enter.
The space inside is larger than expected, with a row of stairs that extend below, and thanks to the large number of night pearls and various luminous jewels, the light here is much brighter than outside.
The route is also very simple, that is, a wide road leads to the end, and there is a place for the fish-man soldiers to stand guard next to it, but it is all empty.
The first continued to swim forward, and countless shadows were reflected in countless lights under his feet, intertwined into a star-shaped.
Although there is a lot of space here, the height is limited, and you can't see the bottom without going down a certain number of steps. It wasn't until the first thief saw a huge vermilion object emerging from behind the blocked stone wall that he stopped.
It was a huge shell, how big was it? big enough to fit five people in it. The shells are closing slightly, seemingly a living thing, and perhaps the last guardian of the place.
The first thief did not go on, but turned and left. While leaving, he still didn't take anything with him.
He knew the origin of this huge shell, but he didn't know that it was usually here. This sea creature is named Bilot, and it is the king of the crustaceans, and as the name suggests, all crustaceans in the deep sea must call it king. It is said that if it could swim like a fish-man, it could be a tie with the Fallen Lord Bougiwak, although there is no animosity between the two creatures.
When he got here, he didn't even want the treasure, so he left empty-handed...... If someone were to follow the first thief, they would never know what he was going to do. Only he knows his purpose.
Walking out of the palace treasury, the dim environment outside made people a little uncomfortable, and the range of vision that could be seen by the eyes suddenly became much narrower.
The first thief didn't care about this, and immediately took out a thunderbolt and threw it, which was instantly detonated when it hit the stone, and the loud noise shook the eardrums.
This munition has only one purpose, and that is to make a noise, and this sound is so penetrating that it can be heard even from a distance of ten kilometers. However, the First Thief modified this ammo, and when it exploded, red smoke erupted from within*.
The first thief quickly left the place and soon disappeared without a trace. Because someone is going to come here soon, and whoever it is, he can't be found.
And in the depths of the palace treasury, the King of the Carapace opened its shell slightly wider than Lot, as if awakened.
"Boom!!" It was a few seconds after the thunderbolt exploded before the sound reached Banderu and Lanaya. Even from a distance of several kilometers, the sound is still so loud.
Both of them quickly judged the direction where the voice came from, made a little identification, and came to the conclusion that it was actually the palace treasury!
Fortunately, they did not go far away, and the two immediately rushed back to the palace treasury. The water here has been stained red by smoke, and it is not very clear that it is not very clear to see the surrounding things more and more.
Why aren't there any marine cleaners here?, but now is not the time to complain, there is so much movement in the palace treasury, and there is no one here.
"First done. Lanaya immediately came to a conclusion.
"What is he going to do?" Banderru frowned, looking around for suspicious clues, and in a few moments he found the wreckage of the thunderbolt. Observing the surroundings again, the corpses of the deep sea trolls are still there, the jewels are not missing, and the palace treasury has not been moved.
In other words, the first perfectly avoided everyone's sight, came here, and disappeared again after a thunderbolt.
The most intuitive purpose that can be guessed is to lure them here, including the fighting fishmen outside the east entrance of the palace. But what can be done?
"Ah, isn't the first attempt to lure everyone over, and then go to other little treasure houses and get all the things from the little treasure troves by yourself?" Banderru suddenly asked.
"Then why didn't he just take it here?"
Banderru was speechless for a moment, and after a pause, he said, "I think we should take a look inside the palace treasury, maybe there are some key things in it that we haven't noticed." ”
"Shameful thief, you want to destroy the palace treasury?!" a voice like a song came from afar. At the head was Srissy, who walked alongside her, followed by dozens of fish-man soldiers.
"I should believe you, brother. It was the weak fishman who said this, and at this time he was not lightly wounded, and the brother in his mouth had died in battle.
Ah, now they get it.
A wire net swirled and flew towards them, so fast that even the fastest parade of fish-men could not dodge it.
"Damn......," Banderu cursed the first thief viciously in his heart, facing the many fishmen, stopping Lanaya from retreating.
As a thief, it's rare to see such a mind!" Lanaya smiled, looked at Bander's back, took a step back, and then slapped his hand on Banderru's shoulder, flashing the dagger and teleporting to a position twenty meters behind him.
They just happened to see the iron net nailed into the muddy ground where they had been in the murky water.
"Phew, thank you for saving me again. Banderru said with some embarrassment.
"Thank you, run!"
I saw that in a turbid sea, a mighty figure was rushing towards them.
