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

Chapter 533, page 2.1-47: The Crown: The Treasure of a Lost Dynasty
"Who are you?!" Skatech, clutching the wound on his right shoulder, took a few steps back, his face pale, and demanded.

"When you were working with Lanlos, didn't he tell you that there were some people you couldn't touch?" Jafar said coldly, holding his silver spear against her vulnerable neck.

Skatech's expression changed slightly, and the next second he turned into black mist and vanished.

“They escaped.” Jafar narrowed his dark orange eyes, his meaning cryptic.

Mu Yegui bent down slightly and picked up a translucent ruby ​​from the pool. The water droplets floated in the air, reflecting her image and giving people a sense of unreal illusion.

“This is a special space. We must find the core to break through it. Until we break through, we will face a continuous stream of living dead.” Jafar took a few steps forward and stood in front of Mu Yegui, speaking slowly.

The pool was now surrounded by walking corpses, so densely packed that it gave off a terrifying and horrifying feeling.

"No matter how many times I'm interrupted, I can keep getting back up?" Lin Ya looked down at his completely healed skin, then looked up at the living dead by the pool. He didn't seem to be much different from them now...

“You are still alive, while they are just corpses.” Mu Yegui glanced at Lin Ya, raised his hand and held up the translucent ruby, looking at the bright full moon through it.

A mysterious totem slowly emerged from within the ruby, vaguely resembling a snake.

snake……

Mu Yegui scanned his surroundings, his gaze finally settling on the snake-shaped sculpture in the distance, only to find that the sculpture was surrounded by the group of undead.

Upon closer inspection, the snake sculpture appeared to be missing an eye. If she wasn't mistaken, the gemstone should belong to it, but how did it end up in the pool?
What secret does that sculpture hold?
I don't think this sculpture existed before...

"Jiafa'er, Linya." Mu Yegui called out to the two of them, then grabbed one of them with each hand and pulled him down, whispering something in their ears.

"There is indeed a connection." Jafar nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

"I understand," Lin Ya said coldly.

"Go ahead," Mu Yegui said, then threw the ruby ​​in his hand toward the sculpture.

Jafar and Linya rushed toward the ruby ​​the moment it was thrown, clearing away the undead around them while keeping an eye on the ruby's landing time.

Jafar, clinging to the sculpture, raised his right hand high to catch the ruby, then quickly pressed it into the eye socket.

The ground suddenly shook, and ripples appeared in the air. A sound of something breaking was heard, and the surrounding undead and the water droplets floating in the air disappeared in an instant, and everything returned to its original calm.

Mu Yegui slowly walked to the edge of the pool. The moment he left the water, he saw that the clear pool water had been stained with blood, and it also emitted a foul stench. "I'll immediately call the medical team to check the water quality." Lin Ya frowned and hurriedly ran away.

The surroundings fell silent again, leaving only Mu Yegui and Jiafaer.

Mu Yegui remained silent for a long time before slowly asking, "How is the investigation going?"

“Lanlos is wary of me, but he has successfully made contact with Daolin and reached an agreement,” Jafar pondered. “It’s strange; Lanlos’s actions lack any consistency, so I can’t figure out what he’s trying to do. But I’m certain he wants to destroy this dynasty, and that’s all.”

"He fits our mission perfectly. Rather than wanting to destroy this dynasty, it's more accurate to say he's going with the flow and even pushing it forward. He has no sense of belonging to this dynasty, so he won't try to salvage anything. Lanlos has a peculiar obsession with the kingdom, and this era predates the rise of a king. Could it be that his ultimate goal is to become king?"

Suddenly, Jafar reached out and grabbed Mu Yegui's wrist, his other hand lightly lifting the golden chain. His dark orange eyes were fixed on Mu Yegui as he said coldly, "Shouldn't my master explain where this thing came from?"

Mu Yegui was taken aback, clearly not expecting Jiafa'er to bring this up suddenly, but considering his nature, he understood. As someone inherently jealous, it was impossible for him not to be jealous; at least he was still asking rationally, which was already quite restrained.

"The king wanted to kill me, but he couldn't. So he bound me with divine chains, severing my connection with the outside world. Although I wasn't physically affected, any contact I had with the outside world was completely erased. He wanted to use this to get Skatah to kill me, since Skatah is the queen of the 'Shadow Kingdom' in the underworld, a symbol of death," Mu Yegui said thoughtfully, glancing at the golden chains on his wrist.

She didn't mind the thing; it was just an ornament to her anyway, and it only hindered her in battle. As long as she avoided any battles, it wouldn't have any effect on her.

“I don’t like that damned dragon leaving anything on you. I also noticed that he left his aura on you as a mark of ownership, but now that you’ve removed that mark, I won’t say anything. My master, I’m jealous that he can be close to you.”

Jafar stared coldly at Mu Yegui, his handsome face showing a hint of restrained forbearance.

“It’s not just him, it’s Lin Ya too. Why did you allow him to get so close to you? Why did you give him your precious blood? Why did he deserve such a reward, and why didn’t I?” Jafar’s voice was low and hoarse, filled with resentment and jealousy.

He was filled with jealousy and anger, and he didn't even want to maintain his composure, thinking that it would be better to just let his emotions run wild. He had never hated the feeling of 'jealousy' more than at this moment, and he didn't want to appear so ugly in front of her.

He developed a possessiveness toward his faith and his god, and even wanted to defile the deity.

He doesn't want to repent.

If only his God could keep watching over him, if only all other people didn't exist, why are there so many things that are in his way!
Mu Yegui reached out and gently stroked his face, saying softly, "You can't let your negative emotions run wild if you don't want to be consumed by them... Original sin is evil in itself, and it's also the easiest emotion to lose yourself in, but I believe you can make good use of it."

Because this is a contract, a contract that stems from not wanting to become jealous, and thus learning everything he could.

It's simply because he doesn't want others to be better than him, and because he doesn't want to be jealous of others' excellence, that he strives to make himself more perfect.
