Lu Sheng couldn't help but ask, the relationship between them seemed a bit outrageous.

He really didn't know the background story behind this.

When I first played Xumi, I was controlled by the Forest Book for a whole day as soon as I entered the game. I was dizzy and irritable. As a result, when I arrived at the desert, I was controlled by the Desert Book for several hours. I had no time to pay attention to the hidden plots in every corner. My mouse was almost smoking. I just wanted to end this long torture as soon as possible.

The copywriter always likes to hide the plot in various nooks and crannies, such as relics, small notes, murals and the like.

Therefore, no one knows as much about Xumi as Liyue does.

"Because they love each other deeply." Sandoni gave an unexpected but reasonable answer. "Although I have never met the three kings, I can get the answer by just guessing. If it is not because of the deep love, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves for each other?"

"After the death of the Flower Goddess, the Scarlet King used all his knowledge to build a mausoleum for her called the Eternal Oasis."

Sandotie sighed softly, "Eternity... Listen to how much he hopes the flower god can stay with him forever. It sounds romantic, right? This is how it feels to love someone... Unfortunately... I will never be able to feel this kind of emotion."

"You mean, in order to obtain forbidden knowledge, the Scarlet King asked the Flower God to sacrifice himself to open the passage to the abyss?"

"That's half right." Sandonie explained, "The abyss has always existed, but in order to cover up the power that frightened them, Sky Island chose to block the entrance to the abyss with the Frost Nail. What the Flower God sacrificed himself to open was just a small crack in the seal of the Frost Nail, but it was enough for the Red King to master the terrible forbidden knowledge."

Lu Sheng disagreed and retorted: "How is it romantic? Knowing that his beloved would die because of it, the Red King still insisted on getting that power. This is not love at all, it's just kidnapping under the pretext of love. What's the point of him crying bitterly and building more tombs afterwards? It's just a meaningless compensation for the guilt in his heart that he can't overcome."

"Tsk... How come you are not romantic at all? You have to pour cold water on such a sad and beautiful love story." Sandone suddenly laughed strangely, "Hehe~ But... I like it! The feelings between people are too complicated, and the human heart is hard to predict~ You never know what the person who treats you well is thinking behind your back, and you never know whether the love of your heart will be willing to sacrifice you one day for his desire in his heart."

She stroked the gentleman's cheek, a gloomy look in her eyes, "Compared to getting along with people, my feelings for things are purer."

Lu Sheng heard some information from Sandonie's words.

This woman gave him the feeling of a troubled girl who, because of lack of love or abuse in childhood, had to place her emotions elsewhere, resulting in a bit of mental abnormality.

How can someone without any medical records be qualified to be an executive of the Fatui?

There was still a long distance to the Red King's Tomb. As it would take several days to build the divine body, Sandonie was not in a hurry and walked very slowly.

The strange thing is that the temperature in the desert was as high as over 40 degrees, but she did not take off any clothes and only used a small fan to relieve the unbearable heat.

Soon the sun set and the temperature in the desert dropped sharply to zero.

Out of consideration for Lu Sheng, Sandoni decided to rest under some ruins for one night and set off again the next morning.

The gentleman cleared the sand on the ground, went outside to find dry firewood to build a fire, and then protected Sandone against his chest with his arms like a mother bird protecting her chick, shielding him from the night wind, sand and cold.

Lu Sheng caught a few sand rabbits outside, skewered them and roasted them over a fire, the aroma filling the air.

He generously offered his new superior a roast rabbit, but was rejected.

"Thank you, I won't eat it." Sandone leaned against the gentleman, curled up like a bird, and said lightly: "I don't like things made of flesh and blood."

"That's weird. What do you eat? You have to eat, right?"

Sandone looked at Lu Sheng with a smile, the firelight flickering on her face, looking a little creepy.

"It's okay. I won't be human anytime soon."

A certain blond, long-lived vampire who liked bread and shouted about the world all day long flashed through Lu Sheng's mind.

Well, another inhuman person.

Xumi: Chapter 106: The "Prophet"'s First Move

The next morning, the two continued their journey towards the Red King's Mausoleum deep in the desert.

No navigation required at all.

The scale of the Red King's Mausoleum can be seen at a glance no matter where you are.

A huge pyramid supports another inverted pyramid, which is so magnificent that it can be called a miracle.

It makes people even more curious about what kind of forbidden knowledge the Red King mastered back then.

However, judging from the energy constructs that can be seen everywhere in the desert and can still roam around after thousands of years of wind and sand erosion, what the Red King obtained from the abyss back then was knowledge that far exceeded the entire era.

The mechanisms and monsters in the desert seem out of place among the seven kingdoms of Teyvat.

Perhaps the only one who can be compared with it is Kanreya, who has disappeared.

Along the way, many desert bandits cast greedy glances at him in secret, but when they saw the gentleman's huge size and the huge vibration caused by his walking, they gave up the idea of taking action.

Soon, Lu Sheng and Sandonie arrived in front of the huge Red King's Mausoleum.

The gate of the royal mausoleum is tightly closed. For thousands of years, this lonely mausoleum has stood like a giant on the sea of sand, guarding its owner.

Over such a long time, countless people have coveted the treasures in the tomb, and the last traces of these people all stopped in this man-eating desert.

There are gilding groups, treasure-stealing groups, and archaeological teams. Human remains can be seen everywhere in the vast desert.

"In order to explore the secrets of the Red King, countless ignorant people have tried every means to come here. Only when you truly come to its feet can you understand how insignificant you are in this world."

Sandoni curiously approached the Red King's Mausoleum and gently touched the mechanical door with his fingers, which had stood for thousands of years but showed no signs of wear and tear.

"This level of technology is so exciting that even I can't understand it. What kind of profound knowledge did the Red King master to create such a magnificent masterpiece?"

Sandoni can't wait to inherit the precious cultural heritage left by the Red King.

"Gentleman, open the door."

At her command, the sound of energy circulating could be heard in the gentleman's body.

boom!

The gentleman punched the gate of the royal mausoleum heavily, but the gate did not move at all, not even a dent was there.

"It's not as easy as I thought."

Such a result was within Sandonie's expectations. If the royal tomb was so easy to break into, the countless treasures and the Red King's forbidden knowledge would have been stolen long ago by someone with ulterior motives.

"It seems we have to seek a breakthrough from somewhere else. Let's go. Maybe we have to act like rats and dig holes everywhere next."

She had been coveting the things in the Red King's Mausoleum for a long time, so she sent a team of Fatui here in advance. The report they sent back also stated that they were unable to break through the solid main gate, but found a huge relic of civilization under the Red King's Mausoleum, and it seemed that they could enter the Red King's Mausoleum from there.

"let me try."

Lu Sheng suddenly volunteered to come to the door.

Sandoni put his hands on his waist and advised: "Don't try it. This door is at least five meters thick and weighs tens of thousands of pounds. It can't be opened by normal means."

Lu Sheng ignored him and reached out to touch the huge door in front of him.

Although it has special patterns on the surface, its essence is a hard rock.

Since it is rock, there is no pressure on land creatures.

One of his rock-attribute skills can reduce the weight of all rocks by 90%.

He put his hands firmly on the stone door and pulled hard. The stone door made a heavy mechanism twisting sound and slowly opened a gap.

"How is this possible? How did you do it?"

Sandoni couldn't believe his eyes. Was this guy really a human being?

"Gentleman, go help!"

The gentleman turned around, inserted his hands into the gap opened by Lu Sheng, and with the leverage, he began to use all his strength to open the door.

Thanks to the efforts of one man and one puppet, the door of the Red King's Mausoleum, which had been sealed for a thousand years, was opened again.

Looking ahead, a huge trapezoidal tomb passage appeared in front of the two.

The tomb passage goes up layer by layer, connected by hundreds of steps. On both sides are several huge stone statues of jackals crawling, staring at the center of the tomb passage vividly with ferocious expressions, as if warning invaders that they will die if they dare to take another step forward.

"Is this what the Red King's Mausoleum looks like? Hahahaha! I didn't expect that after thousands of years, I would be the first person to come here!"

Sandoni's excitement was palpable.

I have to say that Lu Sheng is simply a treasure sent to me by God.

Not only did it help him solve the material problem, it also helped him enter the mysterious Tomb of the Red King easily without any effort.

It couldn't be more appropriate to have him be the first follower after he becomes a god.

It's a pity that he is a human being, but it doesn't matter. When I become a god, I will transform him into a puppet. In this way, he can stay by my side and be loyal to me forever.

"Gentleman, go explore the way." Sandoni gave the puppet an order, then turned to Lu Sheng and said, "You stay with me and be careful of the hidden traps here. With the knowledge that the Red King has, if the trap he left behind is triggered, I'm afraid you won't even know how you died."

The two followed the giant puppet and passed through the tomb passage unhindered.

As they stepped onto the last step, the dazzling golden light illuminated their faces.

The huge tomb chamber ahead is filled with golden treasures!

Countless gold coins and treasures were piled up in the corner of the tomb like garbage. A round fireball was burning on the strange elemental brazier. The light emitted was refracted by the gold, silver and treasures, illuminating the originally dim tomb with brilliant brightness.

"It's such a waste to bury so much treasure here."

Lu Sheng squatted down and inserted his hand into the pile of gold coins. The collision of the gold coins made a satisfying sound of wealth.

What are in front of us are real gold coins, each of which is very valuable. Moreover, they are antiques from the Desert Dynasty thousands of years ago. The historical value far exceeds the value of the gold coins themselves. Selling them to the archaeologists in the Ministry of Education will definitely bring a good price.

"Hurry up and stop doing such useless things." Sandonie urged: "Money can only bring temporary happiness. Eternal power is the root of everything."

She walked quickly to the huge coffin in the center of the tomb, her eyes revealing her impatient desire and joy of her dream coming true.

"Finally... the forbidden knowledge of the Scarlet King... is finally going to fall into my hands!"

However, before opening the Red King's coffin, there was one last hurdle waiting for her.

The Red King's coffin is protected by a mysterious force, similar to a seal, and cannot be opened by ordinary means.

After a thorough study of the environment surrounding the coffin, Sandoni suddenly realized.

"The positions of these braziers are a bit strange... Could this be a test left by the Red King for his descendants? He knew that someone would break into his tomb after his death, and he didn't want to leave his wisdom to foolish people, so as long as we can find a way to light these four braziers, we can open the coffin safely."

Knowing this, Sandoni began to look for a mechanism to light the brazier inside the pyramid.

Lu Sheng was laughing secretly.

Another person who was fooled.

The coffin was actually empty. He had been fooled once when he was playing the game.

However, seeing that Sandonie was so eager to solve the puzzle and prove himself, he didn't say much. He just hid aside and secretly stuffed gold coins into the Chen Ge pot.

Soon, Sandoni cracked the first mechanism. The brazier on the left emitted a blue light and then lit up, which completely confirmed Sandoni's original idea.

"It's just as I thought. There are three more. It should be over soon."

She called out to Lu Sheng, "Go to the door on the left and unlock it like I did. You're so smart, it shouldn't be difficult."

"Ok."

Relying on his memory from the game, Lu Sheng walked into the door on the left, cracked all the mechanisms with almost no obstacles, and brought the fire back to the second brazier.

Next comes the third one, which is a little more troublesome.

When Sandone brought back the fourth fire, there was a rumbling sound suddenly above her head. She looked up and found that it was a suspended stone slab slowly sinking down, and Lu Sheng and the last fire were on the stone slab.

"Done!"

When the four fires activated all four braziers, the Red King's coffin instantly emitted a holographic blue projection.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the Red King's coffin opened.

Sandoni couldn't wait to instruct the gentleman to open the coffin lid, but the result was unexpected.

The coffin was empty. There were no remains of the Red King, nor any forbidden knowledge.

Lu Sheng thought that Sandoni would be furious, but unexpectedly she was just stunned for a moment and suddenly smiled with relief.

"Haha~ You are such a cunning fellow. I was so excited that I even imagined that the Red King buried me at the entrance of the mausoleum."

After coming to his senses, Sandonie thought carefully and realized that he had been tricked by the Red King.

"Since the Red King had anticipated that the tomb would be broken into, he would definitely not hide anything truly valuable here. The treasures around and the empty coffins were only to fend off tomb robbers who broke in for wealth. The treasure he really wanted to bury forever must be in the upside-down pyramid above."

"Then how do we get up there?"

"The Scarlet King has arranged so many mechanisms here, they must have their uses. Come with me, I just found a passage there, it seems to lead to a special place."

Sandoni took Lu Sheng to the place she said, turned on the mechanism, and a secret passage appeared before them.

However, this passage does not lead to the inverted pyramid above, but downward.

After passing through the secret passage, a huge underground world appeared before them.
