Arthur kicked the headless dark monster away, shook off the black blood on his sword, and put away the holy sword.
"Okay, this place should be cleaned up."
"King of Knights, you left something behind!" Chief Tutan dragged a dragon rider out of the deck of the Ark. This was what Arthur left on the Ark when he broke into the wall of the world.
"Thanks." Arthur landed next to the dragon rider. He looked at the countless scratches on the machine with regret - they were damaged during their emergency landing.
At this moment, the communicator in the Dragon Rider also sounded, and the voice of Grand Duke Hall came from it: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, can you hear me?!"
"I can hear it. What's wrong?"
"Thank God!---Your Majesty, there is a huge creature flying towards Brindisi! It should be flying from your direction. Our warship passed by it, but its speed was scary.
, we can't catch up. What should we do next? Continue to track the monster, or attack the wall of the world?"
King Arthur frowned. Something that he passed by the Dragon Rider before was indeed not Arthur's hallucination.
There is no doubt that that thing escaped from the wall of the world. Whatever it is, it is definitely not good.
"The war here is over. Just send three cavalry teams to clean up the scene. You should turn around immediately and chase the monster!" the Knight King ordered, "Delay it at all costs!"
The King of Knights jumped onto the dragonrider and said, "Ivan, Constantine, don't go back to Brindisi directly. Go to the fleet in the Arctic Ocean first and call Younes."
Ivan, who was half exhausted, protested repeatedly: "Why do you want me to go find dad---"
"Go if you are told!" As soon as Arthur stepped on the dragon rider's accelerator, the anti-gravity gunship instantly soared into the air.
"I'll take the first step." Arthur drove the dragon knight and unfolded the wings of the Holy King. With a blast of sound, the dragon knight instantly exceeded the speed of sound and roared away to the south.
At the same time, London's underground city.
"Wow, it's so dirty." Kai, who transformed into a giant, moved the rubble while complaining about how dirty the half-collapsed underground city was. "There is such an ancient city under London, and it was so completely destroyed."
Don’t they know how to protect cultural relics?”
"Complain to your brother Arthur." Greenville hid behind the two giants, always guarding against spiders and mice that might escape from the rubble.
The city was turned upside down. We were not buried alive at that time, which is already the greatest misfortune."
"Yes, being buried alive in a place like this is not a comfortable way to die." Kai sneered and pushed aside a huge boulder.
"But, what an exquisite building." Fleur, who was also removing rubble, observed things from a completely different angle, "Such a vast underground space suddenly collapsed, but there was no large-scale subsidence in London. You guys
The Celtic dungeon building techniques are really ingenious."
"Yes, our ancestors are all experts in digging holes." Greenville said sarcastically.
She set her sights on a pile of white rubble about twenty yards ahead: "Ah, that's right there! There should be the ruins of the collapsed tower!"
"Are the ruins of Morgose's research institute?" Kai walked over cautiously, clenching his fists: "Be careful, the witch may have left some killing mechanism or man-eating monster here."
Fleur glared at her husband and said angrily: "Idiot. This is just a pile of rubble. Who would keep the trap after so long?"
The giantess used magic to light two fireballs for lighting on both sides. With the light, she walked over unscrupulously and dug up the rubble.
The collapse of the tower shattered the entire institute, and it was indeed impossible to leave anything behind. Everyone present was very suspicious, and they really didn't know what Arthur wanted them to dig out from this mess of garbage.
"I see there is nothing here at all, we are just wasting time." Kai also dug a few times, shoveling randomly among a pile of broken stones with his huge palms, and all he dug out were stones.
"There must be something." Greenville remembered that the thirteen containers containing artificial humans burst at the same time, and the flesh and blood of the replicants that failed the experiment flowed all over the floor along with the red liquid.
Even for Arthur's "brothers", the pieces of meat are still pieces of meat, a pile of lifeless things. They are buried in the collapsed rubble, and may have already rotted.
What's the point of finding a pile of rotten meat? Greenville kept muttering in her heart, Arthur would really cause trouble for them.
thump.
While everyone was digging aimlessly, the therapist girl with superhuman hearing heard a certain sound.
thump.
It's a heartbeat. It's very weak, but it's definitely a heartbeat.
"Wait a minute! There are other people here besides us!" The girl immediately became alert, "There is a heartbeat. It's a heartbeat other than the three of us."
"Oh, she heard it!" Fleur exclaimed in surprise, but also with a sense of pride, "Your hearing is so amazing!"
"Huh?" Greenville was confused for a while, but she understood instantly from Fleur's expression: "Oh! Congratulations!"
"Thank you." Kai smiled, with a certain sense of pride.
"But... no, that's not the heartbeat I wanted to say." Greenville shook her head, "The baby's heartbeat is one thing, but the heartbeat I'm talking about is another thing. There is something buried in the rubble.
Something, that thing is making a heartbeat. Yes, it's right there!"
Kai and Fleur looked at each other in confusion, reaching out to dig in the direction pointed by Greenwell.
The moment they dug in, a burst of red light appeared.
In a depression in the rubble, there is a small pool of red liquid.
There was something in the blood-red, shimmering liquid.
Greenville walked to the blood pool and boldly stretched out her hand to grab it.
She caught a palm-sized, heart-shaped ruby.
Thump, thump, thump.
The ruby makes a rhythmic sound like a heartbeat. It does not actually beat, but you can feel the impact of bursts of pulsations when you hold it in your hand.
That pool of red liquid is the "Blood of Chaos" preserved in the Morgose Research Institute.
When the research institute collapsed, the liquid continued to flow downwards and eventually gathered here, forming a small pool of blood.
This heart-shaped ruby should also be a "crystal" formed by the gathering of something.
Greenville held this crystal clear ruby and suddenly felt that it was very familiar.
By the way, this heartbeat is exactly that of Arthur. Its beating frequency, rhythm, and strength are exactly the same as Arthur's heartbeat. Greenville, who once leaned on Arthur's chest and listened carefully to the boy's heartbeat, absolutely
Will not admit my mistake.
---This is Arthur's [heart].
Even Greenville herself was surprised as to why she came to such a conclusion in her mind. But her intuition told her that this was what Arthur wanted her to find.
"I found it, this is it." The girl carefully picked up the ruby heart and put it in her arms, "Great, let's get out of here."
"Thank God, I can finally say goodbye to this dusty place!" Kai relaxed his muscles and bones and returned his body to normal size.
"Don't leave yet!" A voice called out to everyone.
Kai turned his head and found the figure of the old man sitting quietly on top of a pile of rubble.
"Dad?" Kai called in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Hehehehehe, you don't have to worry about such a trivial matter." Sir Acto smiled slyly, picked up the wine bottle, and poured the contents into his mouth.
"Father." Fleur saluted, "Drinking in a place like this is harmful to your health. Please go back quickly."
"Didn't I say, [don't leave yet]?" The old man continued to pour wine into his mouth, and he became drunk. The words coming out of his mouth seemed to be drunken gibberish: "You can't take that piece away."
Gem. I discovered it first. It’s such a beautiful gem. It should be worth a lot of money if you sell it, right?”
Greenwell frowned. Is this old man really crazy or just pretending to be stupid?
"Uncle Acto, it's just a gem. Can I exchange it with you for something else? I like this ruby very much. It belongs to me."
The old man continued to lie: "Hahaha, little girl from the Lyon Dickens family, you can't just get that gem if you want it. Such a good gem, you can't sell it to me in exchange for anything!"
"Dad, stop playing! We still have a mission---"
"Let's do it." Acto suddenly stood up. It was surprising that he could stand up so quickly even though he was so drunk, "Let's make a bet. If one of you can beat me,
I can give you the gems. Otherwise, keep the gems and leave."
"You must be kidding me." Kai shrugged helplessly.
"Oh? Does this sound like a joke?" Sir Actor drew out the lightsaber from his waist.
The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared. The old man was serious. He would rather raise his sword at his son than let Greenville and the others take away the gems.
"Is this gem really that important?" Greenville's face became more solemn.
"Haha, if any of you can beat me, I will tell you." Acto sneered, the smell of alcohol spreading all over his body.
"Don't do anything." Kai pulled out the spear, "Dad is being naughty again, so let me come and meet him."
"Kai, that's your father---"
"I know! But he's unreasonable!" Kai made a face at Fleur sticking out his tongue.
"Tsk...I don't care!" The giantess crossed her arms angrily and stood aside sulking.
Greenville also stood beside Fleur and whispered to Kai: "Please be careful when you strike. It's fun for you to chop, but in the end it will only cause trouble for me. I don't want to be in this kind of ghost full of dust and bacteria."
This is a place where I can operate on you who are in pieces!"
"I know! No need to remind me!" Kaiji rushed forward and stabbed Sir Acto in the chest!
