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

Chapter 542, page 2.1-56: The Crown: The Treasure of a Lost Dynasty
Generally speaking, if you split up, the target will be smaller and it will be easier to escape, but you will also be more likely to encounter danger.

However, Bertias and Daolin are not the main targets. If they want to leave, they will not be closely watched, and it will be relatively easy for them to leave.

Dao Lin and Bertias together are practically useless in combat, while Mu Yegui and Noyce are strong in combat but have to face a lot of targets. In short, splitting up is beneficial to both sides and makes it easier to escape.

Separating Mu Yegui and Noyce and pairing up with Daolin or Bertias would put pressure on them.

“It’s actually quite easy to leave. After all, we’re at war now, so he wouldn’t send so many people to besiege us,” Noyce said slowly, looking at the East Gate, which looked no different from any other day.

“That’s an ordinary king,” Mu Yegui reminded him, meaning that Issa was not an ordinary king, so he was fully capable of doing such a thing.

Neusch choked for a moment, suddenly realizing how silly he had been to say what he had just said.

“Jiafar has temporarily held off the king, so we’d better leave quickly…” Mu Yegui said, looking up at the high city wall and muttering, “I wonder what it would be like to go up there?”

"Isn't it better to go through the door? There's no one here right now, don't make things more difficult for yourself." Although this difficulty wasn't really a challenge for them.

then……

Then they walked out the gate openly and without any problems. They were simply allowed to pass by after showing their usual access tokens. There were no difficulties at all.

But the real test begins once you get out.

They planned to go to Pounís, but they had no means of transportation. Although they could arrive before nightfall by running, it would waste a lot of energy, and they might not have the strength to fight the undead army at night.

However, without running, there is no available means of transportation, and whether or not one can reach Poñez smoothly is a problem.

“There’s no need to rush to Ponce,” Mu Yegui said slowly.

Noyce frowned and asked, "Why?"

“Currently, the army of the undead is led by Shui Qi. Daolin and Bell will arrive in Punes first to negotiate with Shui Qi, which should buy us a few days. While they are stalling for time, our task is to go to the temple and bring out some items that are kept in the underground palace. This is why we are splitting up.”

"The royal artifacts that Daolin mentioned, hidden in the underground palace?" Noyce asked thoughtfully.

"You know?" Mu Yegui asked in surprise.

“He did tell me.” He chuckled at Mu Yegui as he spoke, then added, “Sorry I haven’t introduced myself yet. I am the Crown Prince known as the Hero, Noyce.”

Mu Yegui stared intently at Noyce, then said, "I am Nightmare."

"I know that the First Crown Prince is quite famous in the crown prince circle, but I think you probably don't know this. There is actually a special social media app on the phone, and there is a circle exclusively for the Crown Prince, where only the Crown Prince can focus on commenting and watching."

It originated from the Entertainment Kingdom, but later became more widespread, although only a little over half of the princes knew about it, and those who played it were mostly acquaintances. Casual princes basically didn't pay any attention to it.

Generally, crown princes use officially verified accounts and never reveal their real names; they are always referred to by their crown prince titles. However, this doesn't hide the silly nature of some crown princes, especially that "strategist's guild witch," who treats the crown prince circle like her own social media, posting selfies and even lewd comments every day, giving the impression that she's "fishing," although so far no "fish" have taken the bait.

"I'll take a look after I go out," Mu Yegui nodded and said.

“Actually, it’s better not to look at it…” Noyce said hesitantly.

"Why?" Mu Yegui asked.

"Saying your crown prince props are weird or something."

Noyce's gaze drifted away. He didn't want to mention that Nightmare's popularity in the crown prince circle stemmed from daily criticism of his perversion, with some even taking pleasure in the mockery. After all, Mu Yegui wasn't just number one on the crown prince list; he had also distanced himself from the others in terms of props.

Most crown princes have only one item, but Mu Yegui has five. This is beyond inhuman; it's downright cruel.

So they speculated every day about what kind of being the legendary crown prince was, whether he was incredibly terrifying with three heads, six arms, and eight or nine pairs of eyes, making him unbearable to look at.

While it's not entirely incomprehensible, the fact that the crown prince possesses so many ridiculously overpowered items is enough to make everyone green with envy, constantly immersed in sourness, with the pungent smell emanating from a great distance.

"Abnormal Crown Prince props? You probably haven't seen any useless Crown Prince props. If I had to choose between quality and quantity, I would choose quality. I do have a lot of Crown Prince props, but almost none of them are actually useful."

She didn't name any specific props, but her dislike for them was genuine.

However, the biggest reason is that she is strong enough that she doesn't need to use any additional items to help her.

“Ahem! I remember the temple is in Roya City, which is quite close to the capital, separated only by a small desert. There's also a small oasis in between that provides a place to rest temporarily, which is perfect for replenishing the supplies we didn't bring.” Nois coughed slightly and said.

However, it can also be considered the safest city for them, because Roas is not actually part of a dynasty, but an independent religious city.

Mu Yegui nodded without saying anything. She didn't need to replenish her fluids, but Noyce, as a human, probably did, so she wouldn't object to it.

"Actually, I was quite scared when I resisted. I didn't originally intend to betray them, but I suddenly got very angry and blurted it out without thinking. Now that I think about it, it's not so bad..." I guess I've figured it out and feel that there's no need for me to persist anymore.

"Did you receive any missions from Feilu when you came in?" Mu Yegui paused and asked.

"There is only one mission to obtain the treasure of the lost dynasty. At first, I was exploring the ruins with my companions when suddenly the scene changed and I ended up here."

In fact, he still doesn't understand the mechanism, nor has he found a way back, and there are no hints in the rules.

Mu Ye understood. Noyce and the others had not received the same mission. Although they were essentially the same, they were actually very different.

He didn't enter this instance through legitimate channels, meaning there was a loophole to exploit.
