Chapter 285: Extinction in the Extreme Night (Part 2)
Arthur was led by Greenville and came to the depths of the earth.
This is a huge underground cave. The large cavity naturally formed by the igneous rock formations under London under the movement of the earth's crust is a thousand square feet deep. The deeper underground, the colder and drier the granite-formed underground cave becomes. It is indeed a very suitable place.
Save treasures.
The treasure house was originally dark, and there probably weren't many guards. However, when Greenville's flashlight swept across this dark cave, and saw the countless treasures neatly placed on the shelves, she began to turn on the flashlight.
The light is constantly reflected! The weak light emitted by a small flashlight actually illuminates the entire treasure cave, illuminating it, turning the dark cave into a treasure light!
Is this magic? Maybe. But Arthur has also heard that the real rare treasures in the world usually emit such amazing light. Is that the light emitted by the treasure itself, or is it some kind of spiritual light on the treasure?
,Nobody knows.
Arthur only knew that there was such stunning beauty in this world. Even Arthur, who had lost his emotions and could not feel joy, and the world in his eyes was originally a dark place, was so illuminated by this brilliance that he could not look straight.
"...Hurry up and turn off the flashlight, Greenville! Do you want to expose our whereabouts?" Arthur urged quickly.
"Just a little while longer, I have to find the magic mirror Leatherfield." Greenville said.
"How do you find a magic mirror among these thousands of treasures?" Arthur couldn't help but wonder. This is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack!
"Are you an idiot?" Greenville pointed at the words on the treasure shelf: "Alphabet number*."
(*Note: Alphabet: This is the practice of classifying books or collections by the initials of their names, adding numbers to the shelves, and sorting them from A to Z to facilitate future searches.)
Arthur and Greenvale split up, one starting from the R column and the other looking from the end of the R column, and soon found the Magic Mirror of Memory, Leatherfield.
It was a small hand mirror framed in gold and inlaid with precious stones. The mirror surface extending from the handle was a palm-sized diamond.
At least a thousand carats.
This terrifyingly large diamond alone is enough to make the Magic Mirror a national treasure among national treasures. Is there really no problem in stealing such a valuable treasure?!
"Don't look into the diamonds." Greenville put on her gloves, carefully opened the collection shelf, and took out the magic mirror. "If you see it from the front, your consciousness will be sucked into the world of memories by the magic stone. You fell asleep here,
I don’t have time to take care of you."
"Understood." Arthur agreed in a low voice. Although the beautiful diamond kept attracting his eyes, he still looked away and carefully put the magic mirror into the prepared black bag.
"Okay, okay, the mission is completed, let's run away quickly." Arthur said tremblingly.
"Shh!" Greenville instantly turned off the flashlight, "Keep your voice down, someone is coming."
"What?! Isn't this terrible?!" Arthur couldn't help but be shocked. He was discovered in such a cave. He was like a turtle in a cave, unable to escape even if he wanted to!
"Come out!" The voice of Grand Duke Palinloer echoed outside, "You little thief! I know you are here! I can smell your stench ten miles away!"
"What a stench, what a shame..." Greenville, who was hiding behind the display cabinet, muttered in a low voice.
"He's talking about me." Arthur stopped Greenville.
That's right, since Percival said that Uther is his uncle, then the Palinlor family should be a branch of the Pantorakon royal family.
The Dragon Emperor Titans once said that his blood is retained in the Pantorakon royal family. In other words, Palinlor also has dragon blood flowing in his body.
Dragons with photon sense of smell can identify the "disgusting" smell of their relatives. Palinloar said that Arthur smells "stinky", which is probably the reason. After so many generations, the bloodline is obviously very thin.
Yes, I didn’t expect that Palinloar had such a sharp sense of photon smell. This has to be said to be a mistake by Arthur!
However, it seems that it was just Palinloer who came. This old guy seemed to have drunk some wine and was a little bit not sober. Even when he noticed that a thief had sneaked into the city, he didn't know how to call a few guards to stop him.
.
There might be a chance to escape. Arthur had an idea in his mind and muttered a few words to Greenville.
"Is this really okay?!" Greenville looked horrified, but she had to lower her voice.
"That's right. Have you put away the magic mirror? When the time comes, rush out!" Arthur picked up his Longwu dagger. As long as the dagger is held tightly, the enchantment on it will ignite blazing flames.
.
But it wasn't meant to kill Palinlor. Arthur had other ideas.
This idiot Palinloer, if he had been guarding the exit and summoned the guards, Arthur and the others would never have been able to escape.
However, the stupid and careless Palinlor, who only knew fighting, actually came over to search for Arthur and the others who were hiding in the cabinet.
Palinloer was actually stupid enough to walk around shouting: "Come out! Come out, you little thieves! With me here, you can't escape even if you want to! Hurry up and capture them!"
Following the Grand Duke's words, a strong smell of alcohol began to float in the cave, and Arthur knew that Palinloer had really drunk too much.
No wonder they were screaming like crazy there.
When Palinlor was about to approach, Arthur made a gesture to Greenville. The moment he saw the girl closing her eyes, he also closed his eyes, raised the flaming dagger and waved it wildly!
The enchantment on the dagger absorbs photons from the surrounding environment, and bursts out into flames instantly! The firelight illuminates the entire cave, and along with the treasures filling the cave, it becomes even more dazzling!
"Wow!" The sudden strong light stung his eyes, and Palinlor couldn't help but feel dizzy.
"Run!" Arthur shouted, hitting the shelf at the same time! The shelf collapsed, falling layer by layer like dominoes! Falling towards the Grand Duke Palinloar!
"Wow!" Palinluoer, who had not yet recovered from the dizziness, was knocked to the ground by the oncoming shelf! Countless gold and silver jewelry were scattered on the floor, and those priceless national treasures overwhelmed Palinluoer.
You bury it!
"Oh." Arthur also ran away and looked out of the cave!
"E-Igraine?" Palinloer crawled half out of the treasure pile, looked at Arthur's back, and exclaimed: "Are you still alive, Igraine?!"
Arthur's heart trembled, and he looked back at Palinlor.
What the celestial knight saw in his half-drunk eyes was a woman. A maid he had secretly fallen in love with. He cried: "Don't run, Igraine! Why!?---You would rather choose to do
Uther’s mistress, don’t you want to be my wife?!”
Arthur frowned. The Palinlor he saw in his eyes was no longer a majestic celestial knight, but a down and out and lonely man.
Arthur didn't know how many grievances he and Arthur's parents had when they were young, and he had no time to care about it. But when he saw Palinlor like this, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
"Love has no reason." Arthur whispered, "Whether it happens to you, you can never control it. Farewell, Palin Lore."
He could have chosen to remain silent, but he felt he had the obligation to say this on behalf of his mother.
"Ige..." The drunken Palinlor fell asleep in the treasure pile. His hand stretched out from the treasure pile seemed to want to grab something he could never catch.
thing.
Arthur didn't care about the Heavenly Knight, but ran away with Greenville.
