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

Chapter 720, Section 2.7-7: La Soméshmiri Ruins: Treasure

Mu Yegui looked up at the ceiling stone and asked, "Daolin, is it clearer from up there?"

“I can’t climb up the capstone, you go ahead,” Dao Lin said slowly, glancing at the sharp corner of the capstone.

Mu Yegui nodded, lightly jumped up, touched the wall with his fingertips, flipped over, and easily jumped to the top of the capstone.

Her fair, rounded toes lightly touched the sharp corner of the capstone, and a gentle breeze stirred up strands of hair that shimmered silver in the moonlight.

Looking at Mu Yegui's series of unusually skilled movements, Shui Qi couldn't help but say, "He's like a monkey."

"Those who can't climb up are no better than monkeys," Noyce thought to herself, rolling her eyes at Shui Qi.

Mu Yegui looked around and his gaze gradually moved downwards, finally settling on his feet.

The top of the capstone is not pointed; above it is another stone, the Benben Stone, which, like the pyramids, is square and pyramidal. Muyegui was standing at the very top of the Benben Stone.

She jumped off the Benben Stone and bent down slightly to examine it carefully.

The front depicts a Bennu bird with outstretched wings, symbolizing the sun and gold that the people of Lasomethrin revered.

The Bennu bird on the left is bowing its head to eat.

The Bennu bird on the back is sleeping with its wings folded.

Instead of the Bennu bird, there is a passage written in Lasomethomia on the right.

“The sun burns on the altar,” Mu Yegui murmured, looking at the text.

"What?" Noyce asked doubtfully. "Putting aside the existence of the altar, the fact that the sun is burning is very strange."

Shui Qi snorted and mocked, "Fool, you can tell at a glance that this is an ordinary, unremarkable riddle, a classic one with nothing new."

"Then tell me about Shui Qi, do you know the answer?" Noyce countered.

With a narrow blue eye, he glanced at Noyce and said slowly with an expression as if she were an idiot, "Of course he doesn't know. There's no way he could guess without any clues."

"The sun probably refers to some kind of symbolic object. This sentence should mean that some kind of object is placed on the altar and burned, at which point some incredible phenomena or 'answers' will appear," Daolin said thoughtfully. "Just as Shui Qi said, there are too few clues at the moment, and everything can only be speculation. Moreover, no one can say for sure whether it is related to this instance."

"What's Shui Qi's opinion?" Mu Yegui squatted down, looked down at Shui Qi, and asked softly.

"Intuition doesn't matter much. Perspectives, on the other hand, are intricately connected," Shui Qi said, frowning slightly.

Noyce rolled her eyes at Shui Qi and said, "Fine, what you said is the same as saying nothing at all, you might as well shut up."

“No, I think Shui Qi means… it’s not really related to this instance, but it’s very likely the key to unlocking the subsequent storyline of the ‘Flower Crown’ instance, so there’s a connection between them. Right, Shui Qi?” Dao Lin asked with a light laugh.

"You've already said everything, why are you asking me? That's the gist of it," Shui Qi said irritably.

Mu Yegui stared silently at the Benben Stone in his hand, seemingly deep in thought.

"Ye Gui, are you going to take it with you?" Dao Lin asked as he rolled up the map he had drawn and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Let's leave it up there for now. We're not sure if anything unexpected will happen if we take it away, or if we'll have to put it back later. Besides, there's nowhere to hide it after we take it away," Mu Yegui said softly in a gentle voice, shaking her head.

Just then, Noyce suddenly spoke up, "It seems we've been discovered." Daolin subconsciously looked down at the base of the pyramid and saw Miss Millie looking up at them with a light laugh. Her smile was as sweet and lovely as ever, yet it sent a chill down their spines.

Shui Qi sighed and said, "This woman is elusive. Every time I think I haven't been discovered, I suddenly see her."

"What do we do now? Or else..." Daolin raised an eyebrow, glanced meaningfully at Miss Millie at the bottom of the tower, and said meaningfully.

“You really dare to think that way. There’s no need to be so violent,” Noyce said, frowning.

“Hey, Daolin, sometimes I think we can still get along, at least that's what I think,” Shui Qi chuckled and agreed.

Noyce: "..." With these two messing things up, it's hard to tell which side is the bad guy.

"Ye Gui, can you do us a favor?" Dao Lin called out to Mu Ye Gui, who was on the pressure stone.

Mu Yegui lowered his head and looked at Dao Lin, saying, "Hmm?"

Dao Lin chuckled softly, "Nothing much, it's just... that Miss Milly was taken hostage."

Mu Yegui gave Dao Lin a deep look, then lightly touched the ground with his toes and jumped off the top stone.

She reached the bottom of the pyramid by simply touching the walls a few times, a process that took less than 10 seconds.

"...That's really fast," Shui Qi said again. "So how do we get down?"

"I think..." Dao Lin was interrupted by Shui Qi before he could finish speaking.

Shui Qi said disdainfully, "Shut up. Nothing good ever comes from your words. I don't want to jump down; someone will die."

"To be honest, given our physical condition, we won't die if we jump down. At most, we'll break a leg or something, and the leg-breaking limit is only available to you," Dao Lin said slowly, smoothing his wind-blown bangs.

"Well, thank you so much then," Shui Qi sneered.

On the other side, at the base of the tower.

Miss Millie chuckled as she looked at Mu Yegui, who had landed in front of her, without saying a word. She simply watched him quietly, her smile not reaching her eyes.

Mu Yegui gently lifted the hem of her skirt and performed an elegant curtsy, greeting, "Good evening, Miss Millie. It seems we've gone a bit too far to say we're taking a walk."

"It's late at night, and you've gone a bit too far in your sleepwalking," Miss Millie said with a light laugh, turning the subject back on itself.

"Because I wanted to see the sunrise, I heard that the sunrise at Batulan is very beautiful, but since I couldn't find a suitable high place, I could only make do with climbing the pyramids nearby. Do you also have such an interest?" Mu Yegui tilted his head and looked at Miss Millie, asking.

"No, I just came to remind you that it's getting late, you've had your fun, and there are activities early tomorrow morning, so it's time to go to sleep," Miss Millie said slowly.

"May I ask where you're going tomorrow?" Mu Yegui asked.

Miss Millie glanced at her, then looked up at the three people slowly climbing down the pyramid, and said cryptically, "You'll like it. That's the closest the Lasomethrin civilization got to the sun and its radiance."

The text was in Arabic. The main point was that Arabic script was more evocative when describing the pyramids, since I couldn't upload my own script, so this was the only option.
