Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 223 Long time no see, Medici
Klein followed closely behind Eve, while keeping an eye on the buildings in the hall.

The architecture here is consistent with the passage outside. The only thing worth noting is the metal rods hanging from the dome. At the bottom of the rods are candlesticks carved into different creatures. The inverted candlesticks are representatives of Quaternary architecture, and this finally reveals the era to which the basement belongs.

This is a Quaternary building.

Several papers had mentioned that the number of candlesticks inside different buildings varied, and this was also mentioned in the novel he received from Eve.

1, 2, 3... Klein silently counted the number of candlesticks in his mind.

There were 41 inverted candlesticks on the left and 40 on the right. Klein was surprised. This number was really too astonishing, but then he felt that there was no need to be surprised. Anyone who could be related to both Yuanbao and Eve could not be an ordinary person. Well... he was an accident.

This hall was unusually spacious. After walking for several hundred meters, Klein finally saw the thick wall that marked the end. Continuing forward, he saw two iron-black chairs placed on a platform half a meter above the ground, overlooking their palace like a king.

Two!

Two huge thrones told Klein the answer: this was the short-lived Tudor-Trensost United Empire.

Continuing forward, there are seven tall and heavy black stone doors on the wall at the bottom of the hall. They are arranged in sequence, two on the left, one in the middle, and four on the right, perfectly in line with the Quaternary's pursuit of asymmetry.

"Do you want to go take a look?" Eve suddenly said, pointing to the door in the center and saying, "I'm going there. If you want, I can wait for you here."

Klein shook his head. Although he was curious about this place, he could come back to explore it later. The door in the center often had a special meaning. Perhaps it was the core area of this ancient building, and the rewards might be greater than those from the other doors combined.

Klein approached the stone door and stepped onto the dark floor. The moment the stone door opened, he could see that the road ahead was blocked by boulders and mud. On either side were two stone doors of the same shape as the hall. Continuing forward, he found that the door on the right was half-open, filled with mud and rocks. The stone door on the left was not completely closed, leaving a 3-centimeter gap.

Eve looked at the stone door on the right, then reached out and pushed open the door on the left. She raised her chin and motioned Klein to go in.

My sister's goal was clear... Klein walked forward into the room, guessing that Eve had explored this building before.

Behind the stone door on the left, piles of bones covered in rotting clothing lay on the stone slabs, like a mass grave. Many items were scattered on the ground, likely relics of explorers. Klein activated his spiritual vision and carefully examined one of the items. A faint dark golden light emanated from it. Was it a magical item?

With so many magical weapons, what’s the difference between this place and Jinshan?
Klein's heart skipped a beat. His reason and conscience suffered a severe blow, but he still stood up firmly and forced himself to look away, looking elsewhere in the room.

At the end of the room, a double door stood on the dark wall. There seemed to be fresh blood on the door. Just one glance made Klein feel cold all over, as if a cold blade had pierced his chest.

Klein couldn't help but take a step back, but was suddenly stopped by a hand. He looked back. "As expected," Eve chuckled, staring at him. She withdrew her hand, patted Klein's shoulder, and said, "Go open the door."

"Don't worry, I'm here and nothing will happen to you." Eve suddenly added.

Klein paused, wanting to withdraw his hand from the door. He wasn't worried at first, but after Eve said that, he started to worry.

"You..." Klein's lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a helpless sigh. "Forget it." He exerted force with his arms, and waves of teeth-grinding friction sounds were heard. The world behind the black double doors began to unfold before him.

In the center of the hall, there was a black high-backed chair. Sitting on the high-backed chair was a man wearing a black full-body armor that looked like it was splashed with blood. He had a young and handsome face, but he lowered his head, quiet and deathly silent.

The moment the door opened, the man in the high-backed chair suddenly opened his eyes, startling Klein. Eve patted Klein's shoulder, reassuring him. Then, with arms outstretched, she walked toward the man. Her lips curled up as she smiled and said,

"Long time no see, Medici."

Medici!
Klein was startled. He immediately lowered his head and looked at the black cat at his feet. Seeing Ruirui nod, a strange feeling filled his heart. At this moment, Klein felt the embarrassment of meeting unfamiliar relatives as a child. He bent down and picked up Ruirui, his right hand constantly stroking the black cat's soft fur.

"Ha! You..."

Medici stood up, his usual ostentatious smile on his face, no different from the Red Angel from a thousand years ago. But just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by two voices.

"Medici, your sister is here to save you~"

"Hurry up and throw yourself into your sister's arms and cry, little brother."

Two cracks suddenly appeared on Medici's handsome face, and two mouths appeared on his cheeks, mocking Medici loudly.

Eve's smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal. She lowered her hands and said thoughtfully, "Sauron? Einhorn?" Although a thousand years had passed, Eve still remembered the voices of these two men. Medici had gone to hunt them and never returned.

But in an instant, Eve understood the current situation, but Klein's head was still confused. He looked down at Ruirui in his arms.

"It's possible that over the past thousand years, the evil spirits of the three angels have merged. So far, it seems that this fusion is led by Medici." Ruirui lowered her voice and said softly.

But no matter how much Rui Rui lowered her voice, everyone present could hear her. Medici didn't pay attention to what the black cat said. He raised his hand and rubbed his cheek hard, "Shut up."

"Medici, you..."

No matter how much Soran and Einhorn objected, they were eventually "suppressed" by Medici, leaving only the last unfinished sentence, perhaps wanting to curse him, but Medici didn't care.

Klein watched Medici's series of actions in surprise. The awkwardness of meeting unfamiliar relatives instantly disappeared.

Medici looked up at Eve, was silent for two seconds, and then said, "Well, long time no see." Then he looked at Klein and asked, "Who is this kid?"
