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

Chapter 307, 1.21-23: The Girl Imprisoned in the Tower
Mu Yegui looked up at the dilapidated ancient tower in front of him, his expression thoughtful.

Originally, there was only one solitary tower, with the girl imprisoned on top and the Dark King imprisoned below. However, she split it in two with the Book of Nightmare, meaning that one solitary tower now houses only the girl, while the other solitary tower imprisons the Dark King.

The solitary tower before her was the one that imprisoned the Dark King.

Because they are divided using the Nightmare Book, they are essentially the same entity. Therefore, if one is destroyed, the other will also be destroyed in the same way. The appearance of all the destructions will be completely synchronized.

"Where exactly is the seal?" Her cool, silver eyes stared intently at the solitary tower as she walked around it, puzzled.

"Should we try to destroy the tower?" Jealousy asked casually, twirling a stray hair from his forehead with his finger.

"Destroy the tower? If it releases the Dark King, that would be good, but if destroying it doesn't work, then it's troublesome." At the very least, she can capture the Dark King; leaving him under the lonely tower is ultimately not enough.

"The simplest way is to give Laziness a call. It's not your job anyway, you're just helping him eliminate a potential threat. There's no reason for him to go unpunished." Jealousy lowered his hand, his expression slightly displeased, clearly his mood soured at the mention of Laziness.

"The 30-second quick Q&A said Lazy is always sleeping, and calling might disturb him. I'll just send a text message instead; maybe he'll see it when he wakes up. We're not in a hurry." Mu Yegui took out his phone and started typing.

[Do you know where the Dark Lord is sealed? I can't find the seal anywhere.] — Sent to [Lazy]

After sending the message, Mu Yegui waited for Lazy's reply. He thought it would take a long time, but to his surprise, Lazy replied instantly.

As his phone vibrated slightly, Mu Yegui stared at the contents in surprise, remaining silent for several minutes.

[From Laziness:.]
A few minutes later, the phone vibrated again.

[From laziness: Forgot.]
[From Laziness: Find it yourself.]
[From laziness: sleepy.]
Mu Yegui showed the contents of her phone to Jealousy, who snatched the phone without hesitation and typed: [Really? Then go to sleep. I'll go with Master to find it slowly. Be sure to sleep slowly!] — sent to [Lazy].

Looking at the string of words above, Mu Yegui glanced at the jealousy, snatched back her phone, and said, "Didn't we say we were going to hide our whereabouts from him? Why did you expose yourself?"

Jealousy was silent for a moment, then said matter-of-factly, "I forgot. Anyway, this guy is too lazy to go out, so it doesn't matter whether he hides it or not."

"Qi is a childish brat," Mu Yegui muttered.

[My phone was just stolen, don't worry about it.] — Sent to [Lazy].

The message was still a quick reply: [From Laziness: Let him die.]
[From Laziness: Destroy the tower and it will appear; anyway, someone must have mistaken it for a stone and mixed it in during construction.]
[From Laziness: After capturing the Dark King, go to Rivers Town and hand him over to Lanlos.]
[From Laziness: Delivered personally.]
[From Laziness: This is the condition.]
Mu Yegui looked at the content on the screen, murmured something, and then said softly, "Actually, laziness is a good person."

Jealousy scoffed, but didn't voice any opposition to Mu Yegui's opinion. He merely thought to himself, "If laziness makes someone a good person, then he's a good person too."

In reality, he is far from being a good person; it would be an exaggeration to say that he is extremely wicked. He was involved in planning countless things.

but……

Giving it to Lanlos means that Laziness has created a new Lanlos, and it's hard to say whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Lanlos is the only being capable of resurrecting anyone, but this also increases his chances of being lazy, even though Lanlos himself is lazy and has never actually been crossed out. Mu Yegui recalled something; she seemed to have never seen Jealousy accompanied by an Apostle, while Xie Er and Zhu Yan were always accompanied by Apostles.

"Does Qi never take his apostles with him when he goes out?"

"It's too noisy. It's much easier for me to move around on my own." Jealousy frowned first, then said.

Mu Yegui glanced at Jealousy and understood. He was afraid that Jealousy didn't have any apostles with him at all, because he hated standing with others in groups.

“I am different from Sher and Zhu Yan. When I met Sher, he was already serving the king, and Zhu Yan was born into nobility. I am just a dispensable thing picked up from a garbage dump. How could someone like me have any apostles willing to follow me?” Jealousy shook his head and said softly.

"Qi has it backwards." Mu Yegui took a few steps forward, then suddenly turned to look at him and said softly, "It's because Qi is outstanding that those standing next to you feel ashamed. Besides, although Qi doesn't have as many familiars as they do, he still has one, doesn't he?"

“There is indeed one who is blind.” Jealousy seemed to have thought of something, chuckled, and then fell silent.

"I'm going to make my move." Mu Yegui reached for the short sword at his waist, his cold silver eyes sweeping over the lone tower for a few seconds before he charged forward.

the other side.

Ming Jin was gradually gaining the girl's trust; at the very least, the girl's muscles were no longer tense.

At that moment, the tower began to shake. Mingjin suddenly stood up and said to the girl, "We must leave here immediately, the tower is about to collapse."

The girl trembled with fear, giving Mingjin no chance to react.

"I'm sorry, I offended you first." Ming Jin apologized and stepped forward to break the iron chains binding the girl's hands and feet.

He had no intention of damaging the iron railings; instead, he broke through the entire wall, allowing the moonlight to stream in and fall upon the girl.

His dull, lifeless gray eyes subconsciously looked toward the light, as if he had sensed something, and the wounds on his body began to heal gradually under the moonlight.

"Can I touch you? It's going to collapse, so I'm going to jump down with you in my arms." Ming Jin said softly, then squatted down and picked the girl up in her arms.

The tower shook violently and began to tilt. Ming Jin, holding the girl, jumped off the wall he had broken without hesitation.

After landing safely, he ran forward for a short while before gently placing the girl on the ground.

His lake-blue eyes watched the lone tower crumble and collapse on the ground. He let out a long sigh of relief; it was a close call.

"I'm sorry, I was a bit rough with you just now, but we're out now and everything's fine."

"Next, we're going back to Rivers. Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Although it's hard for you to trust me right now, I haven't lied to you, nor did I intend to use you. I only rescued you because of the mission." Ming Jin sighed softly and said slowly.
