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

Chapter 728, Section 2.7-15: La Soméshmiri Ruins: Treasure

Mu Yegui gently stroked her sharp nails, and a drop of crystal-clear blood slid down from the wound on her fingertip, the blood faintly gleaming with a golden light in the sunlight.

She whispered, "A creature from legend that can also turn invisible is like a substitute that was deliberately created to prevent people from knowing its true existence."

Xie Qing twirled a stray strand of hair from her smooth forehead, her expression slightly innocent. The next second, her deep blue eyes narrowed slightly, and she chuckled, "Your Dao Lin also knows about Barrets, doesn't he? If that's the case, how can you be so sure that what I said is false?"

"Legendary creatures are something anyone with enough knowledge will know about. After all, like myths, you can learn about them just by looking at them. As for their authenticity, who would take legends seriously?" Mu Yegui took two steps to the side, turned his head to look at Xie Qing, and said.

"So this is what they mean by being too clever for your own good?" Xie Qing sneered, slightly lifting his eyelids.

“So…” Mu Yegui paused, her black dress swaying as if blown by the wind. The next second, she appeared in front of Xie Qing, her sharp nails lightly pressing against his throat, the skin touched by her fingertips immediately turning red.

Her cool, silver eyes remained calm and undisturbed as they slowly swept over the slender, fair neck. She asked, "Mr. Xie Qing, can you tell me what important information you are hiding?"

Xie Qing tilted his head back, feeling the danger of a sharp, hard object pressing against his fragile neck. His eyes lowered slightly, and his deep, dark blue eyes glanced at Mu Yegui. A moment later, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled without the slightest panic, "Threatening others is not something a lady should do. Isn't that right, my Nightmare Prince?"

The sharp fingernails pierced the skin with just a light touch, and scarlet blood slid down from the wound, leaving a long red line that disappeared into the black collar.

Mu Yegui tilted his head slightly, looking a little troubled, and said, "If Mr. Xie Qing had just said it outright from the beginning, I wouldn't have acted so rudely. I'm really sorry."

Xie Qing sighed softly, helplessly raised his hands, and compromised, "I know, I know, I'll tell you everything. Can you put your hand down, Your Highness? I'm still quite afraid of dying."

With her cool, silver eyes fixed on Xie Qing for a few seconds, Mu Yegui lowered her hand and took a few steps back.

“Barest is real, yet also fake. A false implantation of knowledge becomes real when it is perceived as such.” Xie Qing said, taking out a handkerchief to wipe his neck. When his blue eyes saw the blood on the handkerchief, he showed a look of bewilderment, as if he was both laughing and crying.

"Actually, I don't know what kind of strange thing I was fighting back then, but my brain told me it was Balest. Later, according to my investigation, Balest did not exist for a long time. Those monsters were related to Millie, but I still don't know why. I haven't found out the real reason why time stopped at night, but I have some guesses."

“It’s Gnawi,” Mu Yegui confirmed.

"Is it really okay to tell me this? After all, I'm still considered your enemy for now." Xie Qing raised an eyebrow, speaking with a pointed remark.

“Mr. Xie Qing can give it a try,” Mu Yegui said slowly, glancing at Xie Qing.

Xie Qing: "..." Fine, I can't beat them.

"Shel's power comes from King Lycia, so he has a portion of the power of time. As the other half of his body, Gnawie naturally also has the power of time. The only one who can stop time is Gnawie."

Gnarway's claim of taking away energy was a lie. The truth is, he accelerated the flow of time, causing her energy consumption to increase many times over in that instant. That's why she felt her energy was taken away, but in reality, it was simply the accelerated passage of time that caused her energy to be consumed instantly.

Ultimately, what is normally a one-second interval becomes a one-second time difference when it is accumulated. However, what actually happens is tens of seconds, or even days or weeks. These times are added together, so to outsiders, it only appears as a one-second interval.

In that single second, her actions actually lasted for days, even dozens of days. Over time, although only a second passed, it felt like her body had been consuming energy for days, even dozens of days, in the same posture. This led to Gnawwe's claim that the energy had been taken away.

In this world, only Lilia and Sher possess the ability to manipulate time, with at most Gnawi, and their power originates from King Lycia; only Rong Yi and Ji Qi possess the ability to manipulate space. Ji Qi's power originates from King Lycia, while Rong Yi's power originates from the devouring nature of his Taotie race, not from the complete application of spatial power.

Lilia and Ji Qi possess all of Lycia's abilities; they are the custodians of the king's power.

"What does Gennawei want to do?" If he wanted to deal with Lilia and Ji Qi, there was no need for him to appear here and alert them.

"Ye Gui!" A sudden voice interrupted the two.

"Daolin?" "It's about time to head to the ruins battlefield," Daolin said in a low voice.

“Brother, you don’t seem to be in any trouble. Why don’t we go solve the mystery together?” Noyce smiled and put his arm around Xie Qing’s shoulder, pulling him forward as if they were good friends.

Xie Qing reluctantly followed him, saying, "I have other things to do..."

"Let's talk about it next time, there's no rush, and I also have something I want to ask you."

As they talked, the two gradually walked away.

Shui Qi frowned and slowly walked up to Mu Yegui, saying, "Did Mingxi tell you he was coming here?"

“Xiao Xi said she’s found Bell’s trail and will come over as soon as she finds him,” Mu Yegui said softly.

Dao Lin paused slightly, a glint of icy blue light flashing in his eyes. "Speaking of which, Bell disappeared in the Kingdom of Sin."

"Don't get controlled, or you'll have another enemy, and the game experience will be terrible," Shui Qi sneered.

"I think your mouth will also make my dungeon experience terrible." Dao Lin glanced at Shui Qi sideways and walked forward on his own.

Shui Qi: "..." Dao Lin is really getting better and better at roasting people.

Suddenly, a black and white figure appeared in his vision, and Dao Lin stopped in his tracks.

I instinctively turned around, but all I saw were people coming and going; I couldn't see that color.

Dao Lin lowered his eyes and said coldly, "I just saw Lan."

The position of Lord's Apostle was discussed at the Crown Prince's meeting. Although Lan was the close maid of the wrathful Lord Zhu Yan, she was also an assassin who served Zhu Yan exclusively. She usually stayed by Zhu Yan's side, only appearing alone when she received orders to go on a mission.

This raises a question.

Who is Lan trying to kill?
Is it related to this copy?
Should they investigate or ignore everything and go straight to the ruins battlefield?
On the other side, the battlefield of ruins.

Only a huge full moon hung high in the pitch-black night sky, silent and desolate. The barren desert was silvery white under the moonlight, with withered trees and vines drooping, devoid of life.

The edge of this desert is shrouded in thick fog, separating it into a small, independent world.

"Your Highness, the mission has been accepted. According to the map, the mission taker is loitering near the entrance. Please be mindful of your emotions."

"Ah," Zhu Yan responded lazily, leaning against his weapon, then asked again, "Where's Lan?"

"The operation has already begun, so please be careful." With that, the screen in his hand went dark.

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying away the whispers and murmurs, lifting the fiery red wisps of hair, and causing the white hem of her dress to sway slightly, the embroidered red plum blossoms appearing even more vibrant under the moonlight.

"Hopefully, it's not too late..."

Work is finally finished, so updates won't be delayed as long anymore.
