After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

Lian Lan was taken aback and asked in confusion, "You recognize... these figures in the museum?"

"Miss Lianlan doesn't know?"

"I don't know, or even if I knew in the past, I've already forgotten."

"what?"

"After all this time, I need to forget some things to ensure that my rationality doesn't get out of control... Is this a famous person from the last era?"

"Hmm... let's just say that for now! Never mind that for now, finding the luminous pearl is the most important thing."

"Okay, the luminous pearl is in the last exhibition hall."

……

And so, the two of them walked together into the depths.

But along the way, Lonnies saw more familiar things.

However, compared to the statues in the lobby, these things have been refined into a rather special kind of symbol: for example, the world's number one university, Green Xiang; Ge Zhuliang, the greatest musician in ancient times; and Cheng Long, the owner of a shampoo company.

Seeing these things, Lonnies understood why ancient studies were so unpopular, with very few people willing to learn them.

Because the ancient knowledge we encounter is mostly dubious and misleading... If ancient people loved bizarre and fantastical things so much, how are modern people supposed to do archaeology?!

(Oh dear, what a disgrace to the ancients!)

……

After passing through an exhibition hall adorned with various symbols and traversing a long, narrow, yet brightly lit corridor, the two finally arrived at a magnificent rotunda.

This place is somewhat like a parliamentary center, with many seats around it, and the dazzling luminous pearl stands in the very center of the rotunda.

There were no other lights, only the light emitted by the luminous pearl, which illuminated the entire hall in a magnificent and dazzling way... At first glance, Lonnie even thought she was seeing a small sun.

And what about Lianlan?

He also gripped the sword at his waist, looking ready to pounce.

"Lonnies, are you ready?"

"Hmm... I'm ready!"

"Now, I'm going to sever the cylindrical shield. Next, you need to grab the luminous pearl and run straight out, and whatever you do, don't look back!"

The girl frowned, and her body unleashed unparalleled power.

Chapter 56 Guardian Knight

(Wow, that's amazing! Now that's what a hero is!!)

Seeing the scene before her, Lonnie gasped in astonishment.

Because Lianlan didn't cut the pillar with her own hands, but shattered the seemingly solid protective shield using only the residual force of the sword wind.

The glittering luminous pearl shot out, landing precisely in the direction where Lonnies was standing.

"Lonnies, run!"

"Ok!"

Lonnies, of course, had not forgotten why she had come here, so as soon as she got the luminous pearl, the girl turned and ran away without looking back.

but……

The museum's alarm had already been triggered.

Unlike small-scale disturbances like damaging buildings, the luminous pearl was a vital treasure protecting the city from the tidal dragon. Therefore, the resulting reaction was cascading.

And the first to bear the brunt is...

"Wow, the statue... it's moving?!"

Although the statues in the museum appear to be made of metal, what is the actual material inside? It is exactly the same as the lumps in the room.

So before Lorne could even rush into the front hall, a sharp basketball was thrown at her!

"Ughhhh!!!!"

If Lonnie were hit by that basketball, even if she recovered from her injury, she would definitely feel dizzy. So she quickly crouched down, trying to avoid it.

but……

"Lonnies, don't crouch down!"

"what?!"

Keep running, don't stop!

Lianlan followed closely behind and rushed out.

She sliced ​​the oncoming basketball in half with a single cut, protecting the silver-haired girl... but her own condition was far from good.

In order to fend off those strange statues, she had suffered a minor injury to her left arm, and her clothes were covered in black grease, as if she had rolled around in the mud.

"Lianlan, I..."

"Run!"

"Ok!"

With things having come to this point, Lonnies could no longer hesitate. She darted out of the museum and tried to run toward the ships in the harbor.

And what about Lianlan?

She blocked the entrance to the museum. Although her body was covered in dirty mud, she remained calm and collected, attacking the oncoming statues one by one.

"The Dance of Scattered Fragments, Break!"

The girl's movements were incredibly swift; her sword strikes were fluid and graceful, as if she were performing.

However, these statues are not to be underestimated.

"Enough, enough, enough~~~ (chicken squawking)"

One of the statues appears to have grown up eating chicken, so it merged with a chicken statue to form the Chicken Cavalry!

Although Lianlan was prepared, there were just too many statues attacking, so she couldn't dodge in time and was knocked away by the chicken riders.

"Lianlan!!!"

Lonnie cried out in alarm; she wanted to rush to their aid, but then she remembered the other person's advice.

Don't worry about so much, just keep moving forward.

Since Lonese has no combat ability, what can she do to help Lianlan?

The only thing I can do is not hold my companions back and complete my tasks step by step.

……

As it turned out, Lornish's decision was absolutely correct.

Because those statues completely ignored Lianlan, who had been knocked away; their entire focus was on Lonnie, who was holding the luminous pearl.

Countless bizarre and grotesque figures burst forth from the museum, led by chicken riders dressed in overalls. The scene was truly a chaotic and terrifying spectacle.

But the danger doesn't all come from these statues... In fact, the entire city is on high alert, and the lumpy monsters hiding in the houses are slowly reaching out.

Compared to the statues, they seemed rather languid, perhaps because they had been asleep for too long. Although the tentacles reaching towards the street formed an obstacle, they were unable to accurately grasp Lonnie's limbs and bind her.

and so……

"Get out of my way!"

Lonnies broke through the tentacle encirclement with brute force.

Soon, the girl reached the harbor, and the golden ship was almost within reach. If Lonnie ran another two or three hundred meters, she would be completely safe!

but……

……

The chicken cavalry charged forward.

Its speed was unparalleled; with just one charge, it sent Lonnie flying.

"Ooh!"

Because she was holding onto the luminous pearl tightly with both hands, the girl had no chance to maintain her balance. Her body was forcibly thrown seven meters away before crashing heavily to the ground.

The fall felt like it broke several of the girl's ribs. Intense pain spread throughout her body, and Lonnie gritted her teeth to avoid uttering a groan.

(It seems that without defeating this chicken knight, there's no way we can escape.)

After calculating the distance, Lonnie quietly transformed into the Crystal Frost Dagger... As long as the Chicken Knight charged at her again, Lonnie was prepared to plunge the dagger into its mouth and deliver a fatal blow.

but……

"Lonnies, keep running."

"Uh?"

"Leave this guy to me."

Lianlan ran out, but she was already exhausted and covered in wounds.

Not only were his clothes torn to shreds, but blood was also flowing down with the mud.

Even so... the girl's eyes remained calm.

Those cold, blue pupils were like those of a judge from hell—sharp and piercing, as if they had no other thoughts than fighting.

……

Thanks to Lianlan's cover, Lonnie finally stumbled and staggered onto the Golden Shuttle.

The little starfish and slimes also came to greet them, jumping and hopping anxiously.

"Squeak~"

"It's okay, I'm fine... Okay, everyone, hurry up and start the ship."

With the slime's help, Lonnie quickly started the engine and prepared to set off.
