I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 129, page 1.7, section 46: Lias's Voyage: Hunting Time

A group of priests dressed in white robes walked out in silence. The young man at the head of the group had light orange hair. He first glanced at the group and then fixed his gaze on Lias.

“Take care of those soldiers, and bring these few people from the city with you.”

Shui Qi shrugged and followed along, looking indifferent.

Dao Lin glanced at him but didn't expose him. Since he had already achieved his goal, Shui Qi had no chance of turning the tables. Let him be.

Mu Yegui clutched the badge on the collar of his black cloak, seemingly not wanting anyone to see it.

Fernana took Lias's hand and followed the boy over.

As he passed through the gates of the Papacy and entered the flower-filled inner court, before anyone else could speak, he said to himself, "Lias, Lanlos does not wish to see you."

Lias was slightly taken aback, and asked urgently, "Why!"

“You know very well that Lanlos gave you a choice, but you chose your parents. Since you’ve already chosen to betray him, why don’t you just disappear from his sight forever?”

Mu Yegui silently raised his hand and asked, "Is Lanlos good-looking?"

juvenile:"??"

“If he looks good, we’ll take Lias with us. But if he doesn’t, and we’ve already delivered him, our mission is over, and we won’t stay any longer. What you do with Lias is none of our business; that’s your problem. I just want to make sure my mission is complete.” Mu Yegui paused, then added, “Don’t you think his height is a bit off?”

The boy remained silent, simply watching Lias ponder the veracity of his self-inflicted injury scheme.

"He was imprisoned for five years, and time stood still for five years. Maybe you were the same age back then, but now he's five years younger than you. Are you going to bully such a young child? Shameless!" the soft, sweet little voice said seriously.

The boy remained silent, inexplicably feeling like he had been shifted the blame.

A soft laugh reached everyone's ears, gentle as a breeze yet elusive.

Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback, and when he turned his head, he saw the silver-haired man sitting in the flower pavilion at some point.

Dressed in pure white, exuding an aura of purity and holiness, his long silver hair cascaded down his back, almost reaching his ankles, subtly reflecting golden light in the sunlight. His handsome face wore a gentle, warm smile, and his silver eyes were as clear as the sky.

He rested his face on one hand, slightly revealing his fair wrist, on which a mysterious totem was painted in silver, resembling a strange eye.

"Lanlos!!" The boy's expression changed drastically upon seeing him, and he said with displeasure, "How come you always spoil Lias so much! No matter what he does, you can forgive him so easily!"

"Mash, I haven't said anything yet, don't worry." Lanlos smiled gently and landed there without making any movement, yet he easily soothed Mash.

Lanlos turned his head slightly to look at Lias, then focused his gaze on Mu Yegui, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I can't let Lias return to the Holy See. You've made a wasted trip."

Fernana frowned, took a step forward, and said anxiously, "Lias has been waiting for you to come and save him!"

“But we have no obligation to accept someone who doesn’t belong here,” Lanlos said gently, shaking his head.

"Then can I use it? I can use the King's Gold Coin to exchange for the chance for Lias to stay here." Fernana slowly said, taking out the King's Gold Coin that she had always treasured.

Dao Lin was slightly taken aback. He had never expected that Fernana would hide an item. Even just hearing the name, he knew that the item was very important.

"Do you know the importance of the King's Gold Coin? The King's Gold Coin can command any high-level dungeon owner, even the current acting King Duke must accept it unconditionally. You can think about it again, it's very important." Lanlos's eyes were gentle, as if he were looking at a naive child.

“I’m sure I’m willing to exchange the King’s gold coins for the opportunity that Lias left behind,” Fernana said, enunciating each word clearly.

She then nudged Lias, placed the King's Coin in his palm, and urged, "Go, Lias."

Lanlos chuckled softly as he watched this scene, his slender, pale fingers lightly covering his slightly upturned lips. He said slowly, "Then I will accept."

Although Mashu was very unwilling, she still snorted and chose to accept it.

"Speaking of which, who was it that performed such a heroic act in the square? They weren't even afraid of His Highness the Lord's soldiers," Lanlos asked gently, turning his gaze to Daolin.

Dao Lin frowned slightly, but still said, "It's me."

"Then I'll give you a reward. Bring one of your most frequently used props to me." He said softly, pointing his slender, pale fingers in front of him.

Dao Lin took out the gold pocket watch he always used from his sleeve and walked over.

"He does resemble that lord somewhat..." Lanlos stared at Daolin for several seconds, seemingly lost in thought.

He covered Dao Lin's hand holding the golden pocket watch with both hands, one above the other. The mysterious totem on the wrist shimmered with golden light. After about ten seconds, he released Dao Lin.

Dao Lin looked down at the pocket watch in his hand, and his expression suddenly changed.

[35] Interval stopwatch

Rank: Crown Prince (Causal Level)
Description: A divine object imbued with sacred power.
Passive: Open the pocket watch and look at the second hand. The time your gaze stops when you look away from the second hand, whichever number of revolutions it makes.
Active: Turn the clock hand to turn back time, up to a maximum of 12 hours (use outside the copy will have causal effects).

Cooldown time: 7 days

Review: This thing sounds magical, looks magical, and works magically, but it's not magical when the consequences fall on you. It's best to avoid things like karma. In my opinion, this item is completely unnecessary, and I don't know what that person was thinking. I just hope the owner isn't a self-righteous fool with a brain full of nonsense.

"Consider it a reward. Don't tell His Majesty the Duke about me~" Lanlos looked up at Mu Yegui and suddenly winked at her. Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback, her expression showing a hint of confusion.

Lanlos stood up to leave, but as he passed Fernana, he paused and said in a low voice, "As for you, I don't like being threatened, so I'm sorry."

[Ding! Congratulations on the simultaneous birth of three crown princes! Keep up the good work, players!]

There are three, because one of them is from another copy.

The fallen angel Sariel has a place in both the angel and demon camps, but relatively speaking, neither side can tolerate him.

The hermit, a mysterious and wise being, wanders through time and solitude.

The eye on Lanlos's wrist was inspired by the Eye of Horus.
