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

Chapter 497, page 2.1-24: The Crown: The Treasure of a Lost Dynasty
“It seems something bad has happened here.” Dionysus squatted in front of the washed-out riverbank, his long, narrow, golden phoenix eyes fixed on the bones half-buried in the mud, and said slowly.

Lin Ya walked over, and upon seeing the bone in Dionysus's hand, he paused slightly, his voice instantly lowering, "This is..."

Dionysus casually crushed it to powder, pouring the bone dust from his palm onto the ground. His expression was solemn as he coldly said, "It is a part of the skeleton of an undead creature, refined using evil magic. Its characteristic is that during the day it is just an ordinary bone, but once night falls, it will move on its own, seeking out a suitable body to attack all living creatures within a certain range."

"You're very familiar with this?" Lin Ya asked cryptically.

"I suppose so, after all, I've encountered this several times. Order the soldiers to be on high alert; since there are skeletons here, something is bound to happen tonight." Dionysus raised his eyes to gaze at the setting sun, his golden phoenix eyes reflecting the beautiful sunset.

Lin Ya said in a deep voice, "Are there any things we should pay attention to when attacking?"

Dionysus made an 'O' gesture with his hand and said, "When night falls, something like a crystal will appear in the middle of the skull and attract the bones that make up the body."

As long as the crystal isn't broken, it will recombine infinitely no matter how its body is broken apart. The sun merely immobilizes it; it will naturally recover once it finds the moon at night.

Of course, if you have the ability to grind the bones into powder so they can't be pieced back together, that's also possible, if you can do that.

Dionysus slowly stood up and walked in a certain direction. "I'll go and remind those four guys, so that when we go back, we won't be missing a few Mu Yeguis coming to settle scores."

Lin Ya did not answer him, but stared intently at Dionysus's departing figure. He reached out and removed the black cloth covering his eyes, revealing a pair of dark red, captivating vertical pupils like rubies, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes.

Has it finally appeared?

The culprit who kidnapped his mother, ultimately causing him to become like this...

This time, we're determined to catch you all!

"Awoo~" A sharp wolf howl came from beside my ear.

Lin Ya slightly raised his eyes, and a full moon slowly rose, revealing its terrifying scarlet color.

temple.

"When the blood moon descends, it is the moment when dark creatures are resurrected, and all non-humans will be affected by it." Lanlos stood on the high platform of the temple, quietly watching the blood moon rise. The air was filled with the stench of blood, which was carried by a gentle breeze.

"It smells a bit unpleasant," Dao Lin said, frowning and fanning himself.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he said solemnly, "You mean non-human? Then wouldn't that mean..."

Lanlos turned slightly to look at him and said with a light laugh, "Therefore, Lin Ya, Mu Yegui, Bertias, and Isa, who are not human, will all be affected by the Blood Moon and have their inherent bloodthirsty nature aroused."

"Why can you still laugh at a time like this? Isn't that dangerous?" Dao Lin frowned, looking at Lan Luo Si, and asked in a low voice. "Isn't this interesting? There's nothing more interesting than infighting. I'm tired of those unchanging futures. I want to see something fresh and interesting, a future that makes me feel alive." His long white hair shimmered with a hint of blood under the blood moon, and his delicate and beautiful face carried a trace of unreadable sadness.

“When Isaac was a child, I taught him and watched him become king and establish this dynasty. Now, watching it decline little by little, I want it to be destroyed more than I was excited when it was first established. The fate of such an unchanging dynasty is almost over, and I'm tired of it.”

I've forgotten how long I've lived. I only know that I've watched the world unfold according to a predetermined trajectory, without the slightest element of surprise. Everyone has a reason for living, so what is the meaning of my life?

"I also want to participate in those futures that shouldn't have included me. I don't want to just be a bystander." Lanlos said softly, his icy blue eyes fixed on the boy who looked exactly like him.

With his hands clenched into fists, Dao Lin said slowly with a cold face, "So you deliberately caused those things, turning Lin Ya from a human into a vampire, and causing those residents who should have been living peaceful lives to be displaced? I will not praise your actions."

"Can't even you understand me? I'm alive, yet I can only watch them go, unable to participate. They won't even remember my name. In their eyes, I'm just a passerby they'll forget as soon as they see me. This kind of life...won't you go crazy?"
"Whether I'm a hero or a villain, I just want to prove that I'm still alive, not that I'm someone who won't even be recorded in history." His icy blue eyes were unfathomable as he coldly stared at Dao Lin and spoke slowly.

Dao Lin reached out and grabbed Lanlos's wrist, saying coldly, "You have the tools to awaken them, don't you?"

“Yes.” Lanlos grabbed Daolin’s hand and placed it on his left chest, near his heart, a sickly smile playing on his lips.

“Kill me here, take my heart to Morias to make a musical instrument. Anyone who hears the sound of the instrument will be awakened. But can you do it, Daolin? You're going to kill me with your own hands. You're living on my life from the future. Killing me is like killing yourself. Can you do it?”

Dao Lin took a deep breath and said slowly, "I can do it."

He drew the short sword from his waist and plunged it fiercely into Lanlos's chest, causing crimson blood to gush out and splatter onto his pale face.

The short sword clattered to the ground, splattering blood from its tip everywhere.

Dao Lin reached into Lanlos's chest and pulled out his still-beating heart.

“You killed a guy named Lanlos twice,” Lanlos said coldly.

Ignoring what Lanlos said, Daolin turned and ran down the stairs.

Lanlos looked down at the hole in his chest, casually slashed the wound back to its original state, then turned slightly back to look at the blood moon hanging high in the sky, a sickly smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"The human heart is nothing but a piece of junk that hinders my movement. I'm still thinking about how to connect with my future self. Thank you for helping me get rid of it."

Moreover, his goal was never this dynasty, but rather to wait for the destined king to appear.

His ordained...
