Contempt

Chapter 8 The Guardian in the Dark

Recently, Teres has brought his cronies to Solomon's mansion every day, ostensibly to comfort him, because everyone in the imperial capital knows that Torresta's recent situation is not good. Thereris wants to weaken his influence and even refuses his invitation to fight. For a general, this is undoubtedly a blow. .

Terius's goodwill is also regarded as a balanced political skill and a small means to win over the Solomon family. As for now, no one will think that Tyres is too close to Torresta. After all, no matter what, the generals still have to speak by war.

At this time, it seems that it is no longer possible for Torista to lead troops to Zamreta, and his political future is also precarious.

Of course, these are external sayings. No one will know that in the manor of the Solomon family, there is the only princess of the empire, and this princess, even has only one empty title picked up. In the eyes of outsiders, it is a blessing for this blind girl to be rewarded by the empire for several lifetimes. Only Tyres knows that what he gave her is far from enough.

"It's my fault that her mother left me, and now, my daughter is in front of me but I can't recognize her. Is this God's punishment for me?" My heart is extremely upset.

"Uncle Torista, you'd better go there quickly and don't let the distinguished guests wait too long." On the other hand, after talking to Torista for a while, Xier couldn't help saying to Torista.

Torresta squeaked. He also knew that the girl's other senses were extremely sharp because of her blindness, but he didn't know that it was so sharp. Tyreus was nearly 100 meters away from here. In the case of deliberately suppressing his breath, even if Torista himself didn't use his eyes and wanted to identify it, it was a little difficult.

Torista nodded and ordered the old housekeeper beside him, "Take good care of Miss Xi'er, and I'll go and talk for a while."

"Good master." The old housekeeper bowed respectfully.

Torista hurried to Teres, looked at Teres' eager face, and said quickly, "Your Majesty, Miss Xi'er is also very healthy today and in a good mood, but Your Majesty, if you come here every day, will you..."

"Don't worry, if Rigg and Saida can't even handle this little thing well, I won't set up a dual-phase position and do their respective duties. This is the way to employ people." With a smile, Tyres said, "As for my daughter, I can't fulfill my responsibility as a father, so I have to leave it to you."

"I am bound to keep Princess Xi safe for the rest of my life." After a knight's salute, Torista said.

"Bear by the way, do you have any news about Yuchen?" Tyreth suddenly changed the topic and asked.

Torista was stunned and then replied, "As for Yuchen, he lost the news after the Marta Summit. There must be some urgent things to deal with. According to his personality, it is impossible not to return to Xi'er."

"This boy is unusual. Recently, he has stirred up the whole empire. If he comes back, he will bring him a message for me and say that everything is based on the interests of Gangduo and ask him to restrain himself." What Tyris said was naturally a series of decisions left by Yuchen as the head of the family. These decisions made the underground forces of the empire hotter in an instant, and even Tyris did not expect it.

Without saying a sound, Torresta nodded. It seems that Your Majesty has already known the hidden identity behind Yuchen. No wonder, in the Gangduo Empire, who can hide the eyes of Teres? Fortunately, Tyris the Great did not pursue his own crime of not reporting it, otherwise he really didn't know how to face this gentleman who took good care of him.

Send away the satisfied Tyris. Torista turned up a message crystal, penetrated the power, and began to try to contact Yuchen. However, every time it failed, this situation is very strange. Because of the particularity of the message crystal, there are few places that can't accept power fluctuations. Now there are only two possibilities. Yuchen entered a special geological site, such as a terrible celestial phenomena such as the Great Magnetic Storm Circle; or, Yuchen's crystal has been destroyed.

No, it should not be that the crystal was destroyed. I just contacted him a few days ago, and it doesn't look like a chase. Is there something unexpected?

He quickly took out another crystal and penetrated his strength. Torresta found that the crystal handed over to Lada also lost contact.

"It seems that the two are still together, as long as they are still together, at least the probability of living is quite high." After talking to himself, Torista slapped himself gently, "Raven's mouth, crow's mouth, bah, absolutely no problem."

"But it seems that we can't rely on Yuchen now. Why don't you ask Miao Yan if there is any news first?"

Once again connected with the crystal, the other party's tone was a little tired, and obviously he had been dealing with affairs all night.

This is not the first time that the two have communicated through crystal. Torresta and Miao Yan have a common goal, and intelligence sharing is also the consensus of the two. After talking to each other, it is found that Yuchen had a dialogue with the two at almost the same time, and both of them have lost their messages since then.

"He should be fine, because he said at that time that he didn't have to wait for him, and it was up to me to decide everything." Miao Yan coughed a few times, and it seemed that he felt the wind chill.

"Are you all right?" Torista frowned, "Don't tire yourself. You still have to leave the extra things to your servants to do. Take care of everything by yourself, just like her. How can your body stand it?"

"I'm used to it." Miao Yan's gentle language came from there, and Torista's greeting obviously made her feel good. "Besides, our industry is not like your nobles. We are all rough people. I'm afraid that if we give it to them, it will have a negative impact on Yuchen's layout."

"Always try. If you don't worry, I can transfer some masters to your side in my personal name and completely follow your orders." Torista said sincerely.

"I will consider that the empire's efforts to fight crime have been strengthened recently, and I still have a lot of things to do here."

"Wait!" Torresta remembered Teres's words, quickly stopped Miao Yan, and said what Teres meant, and the other party fell silent.

After a long time, Miao Yan said, "What Yuchen meant is that no matter what order Tyre the Great gave, he would let us continue to do it. Only when the family is dominant can we stop. He said that only in this way can we ensure that the interests of the family will not be swallowed, and I still believe in him."

In the dark ground on the other side, Yuchen lay on the ground and gasped heavily. The two had successfully entered the vents, untied the ropes on their bodies, rubbed their sore shoulders and said, "You can really shake. You are about to break my waist."

"You still said it." Yuchen's tired waist couldn't straighten up. Hearing the empty complaint, he suddenly became angry. "You're awesome. You don't know how hard this thing is. Even if I do it with all my strength, I can only barely cut it open. Now I can't lift any strength. Either take a break or do whatever you want."

"Okay, okay, take a break, take a break." He shook his head and said to himself, "As a man, it doesn't last at all. What should I do in the future?"

"You!" The words shrank back. Yuchen shook his head and decided to stop arguing with the false. He leaned against the ground, spread his limbs and lay flat on the ground.

This crystal is extremely wonderful. People lie down and can't feel a little cold, but it's really warm.

"What a good thing. It would be great if you could take some of these away."

"You can try, but after we get what we need, I don't want to touch the security system without preparation."

"Guard?" Yu Chen was surprised, "Is there anyone else in this city?"

"How is that possible?" Yuchen glanced blankly, "This is the ancient city of Ancherus. If there are living people here, it will be just you and me."

"Is that some mechanical organs? Then I'm interested in seeing it." What Yuchen said is true. If it is really a mechanical product, he is full of interest in it. What is the difference between the scientific and technological civilization of this world and his own world? Once the thirst for knowledge in the bones is ignited, you have to dig into it, and I don't know how long this bad habit will last.

I made a secret decision in my heart. When the matter is over, it is necessary to take a large crystal and see how powerful the so-called security system is.

After making a decision, Yuchen immediately got up. Although his muscles were still a little sore, he felt that it was no longer a problem.

Since it doesn't get in the way, it's better not to delay too long. In such a dark underground, day and night, and I don't know how long it has been. He doesn't worry about whether he can go out, but whether his sister will wait too long at home.

As a lover, Yuchen can't watch his beloved woman be in danger alone. Even if the soul is another soul, the body is Lada's body after all, so he follows. However, as a brother, Yuchen will not forget the promise he and Xi'er made to return to each other as soon as possible, even if they are separated. .

"Let's go, Xu. I hope there won't be too much trouble ahead of us."

Xu also stood up and said, "There is one trouble, but it's not difficult. Since you can move the water-stopping situation freely, naturally there is not much trouble through his verification, so I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Let's talk about it when we get there. I can't explain it clearly here. Anyway, believe me, that's right." Throw down the words and walk forward.

The brightness of the tunnel inside the crystal is quite good. Compared with the dim light emitted by the crystal outside, it is already excellent.

"The energy is about to dry up, and it's better to carry torches with you. It took me a lot of money to buy these windbreakers." He played with the torch in his hand. The torch was extinguished by the two when he entered the city as soon as he passed through the phase space, because the city itself was also emitting a faint light. For them, as long as there was light, it was enough.

Aware of Yuchen's doubts, he hurriedly said, "I once said that the energy here is supplied by the kiss of the devil. There is also an energy storage point at four points in the southeast and northwest for emergency response. The Lavma crystal itself is very adaptable. It only needs a small amount of energy to emit light. Now it seems that The energy stored at the beginning was also almost exhausted.

zou zou quickly, and the ventilation system was extremely complex. Fortunately, there was a regular customer, so they would not get lost. The two walked and stopped, occasionally drank water, lit a fire to cook food, and Yuchen also found that there was not much food stored.

In the midst of worry and fatigue, the two finally reached the end of the vent. The unknown metal block had already been cut to pieces. After touching the break, he was excited to be a criminal, which made Yuchen quite helpless.

Puff!

The two jumped directly from the vent and fell to the ground, raising a layer of dust.

"It's true that no one has been here for a long time." Xu Dang coughed first and said, "There was originally a fish grain stone floor as a decoration, but now there is nothing left."

"Is it decomposed directly? I don't know how long the weathering effect in such a place has been. Shaking his head, Yuchen was suddenly shocked because he saw something.

Step away, draw the sword, and face the front. As the dust dispersed, Yuchen saw the whole picture of the thing.

A black human figure stared at Yuchen and the two without expression, silent!
