Upon hearing Dilsmo's words, Li Huailin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Dilsmo to know about this. Logically speaking, Saint Ilfrey wouldn't tell him about it. There was no reason for her to tell a believer about the secret order of the God King. However, it was also possible that Saint Ilfrey had passed something to the Patriarch and came here to retrieve it. This wasn't impossible. Li Huailin wanted to hear about it first.
The surrounding Cyros were also shocked. It was obvious that they didn't know what Dilsmo was talking about. But even under such circumstances, the Patriarch wasn't willing to hand it over. Could it be that it was something really important that Saint Ilfrey had passed to them? In an instant, the chaotic scene quieted down. Patriarch Dilsmo walked up to Saint Ilfrey.
"I'm the Patriarch of Cyros. No matter what, I will protect my people. Even if Saint Ilfrey were here, I believe he would choose to forgive me." Dilsmo happened to walk in front of Saint Ilfrey at this moment. It wasn't clear if he was talking to Saint Ilfrey or himself. Even now, he still couldn't confirm the identity of the Saint Lofrey on the ground. Truth be told, he was starting to believe Li Huailin's words, but he didn't dare to believe it. So, he didn't communicate much with Saint Lofrey, just muttering to himself. After speaking, he immediately walked towards Li Huailin.
But even though he was muttering to himself, Saint Ilofrey, who was on the ground, was extremely shocked. Dilsmo was the patriarch, and he had to protect the Cyros. What about him? He was the guardian of the Cyros! Shouldn't he protect the Cyros? Dilsmo's words once again shook his thoughts of sacrificing all the Cyros to protect the God King. The impact left him rooted to the ground.
"You know what I want?" Li Huailin looked at Dilsmo, who had walked in front of him. "Let me see."
"If I give it to you, will you really save them?" Dilsmo pointed to the Cyros civilians as though he didn't include himself in the equation.
"If what you have is what I want," Li Huailin nodded. "As I said, saving you guys is just a matter of convenience."
"I know where the thing you're looking for is. Save them first and I'll bring you there," Dilsmo said. It sounded like the thing Li Huailin was looking for wasn't in the city.
"Oh?" Li Huailin thought for a moment and said, "How about this. All of you leave the city and avoid the explosion. Bring me to that thing. If it's really what I want, I'll come back and bring you guys away. If it's not, or if you're just messing with me, then … you can only freeze to death outside the city."
Dilsmo looked at Li Huailin and went silent for a while. In the end, he nodded because he really had no other choice. He was in a hurry. Turning around, Dilsmo said to everyone, "Everyone, get out of the city and try to hold on for a while."
Of course, the surrounding civilians heard the conversation between the two. Now that the explosion was about to spread, of course, they didn't know what to do. They didn't know what Li Huailin wanted, and they didn't know if Patriarch Dilsmo had it. It was all up to fate now.
The civilians started to evacuate. Li Huailin asked Dilsmo, "Where is it?"
"Over there." Dilsmo pointed in a direction, and Li Huailin waved to Little Mi, who was behind him. Together with Dilsmo and Saint Ilofrey, they set off.
They were flying in the direction of the mainland. Under Dilsmo's guidance, Li Huailin quickly discovered their destination. The location of the destination was too obvious because he actually saw a huge spire appearing in front of him.
It was a pure white spire. To be precise, Li Huailin thought it was pure white. The outside of the spire was covered in a thick layer of ice. It looked like a huge icicle. However, it was obvious that it wasn't an icicle. Its shape was too regular. It looked like a man-made object.
As they got closer, Li Huailin realized that it wasn't just a spire. Below the spire, Li Huailin saw some traces of buildings. Yes, it looked like a city. Or rather, it used to be a city. But now, it must have been abandoned. The city below was completely covered in ice and snow. He could vaguely see the roofs of some buildings. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time. There were no signs of life.
"This … used to be the capital of our Cyros Kingdom." Dilsmo, who was in charge of leading the way beside Li Huailin, said, "But it's been abandoned for hundreds of years."
"Oh? Why? "Li Huailin asked.
"Because of the changes in the sea level. We had to abandon this place," Dilsmo said.
"Changes in the sea level?" Li Huailin was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood what Dilsmo meant. What Dilsmo meant was that this city used to be a port city. But after the port froze, the area of the ice field gradually expanded. Then, this place was no longer a coastal city. The people of Cyros relied on fishing to survive. Otherwise, they wouldn't have anything to eat. So, they abandoned this city and moved to the new capital.
"This is the first city that the people of Cyros built after coming here. It used to be our capital," Dilsmo continued. "The treasure you are looking for is here."
"Huh? Treasure? " Li Huailin facepalmed. "Hey, hey, big bro, are you mistaken? I just said that I have no interest in treasures. I didn't ask you to bring me here to see this."
"Do you think treasures mean anything to us people of Cyros?" Dilsmo suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned as well. That's right. What was the point of treasures to a self-sufficient race like the Cyros? The other party didn't trade with other continents, so what Dilsmo meant was that the items stored here weren't treasures or anything like that.
"It seems like you really don't know what the treasure of Cyros is." Dilsmo looked at Li Huailin's expression and said, "This is the capital of our Cyros Kingdom. It's also the mausoleum of our first king, the great Emperor Brian."
"Huh?" Li Huailin didn't understand what was going on. So what if it was a mausoleum? What did it have to do with him? He wasn't here to rob a tomb anyway.
"That's the mausoleum of Emperor Brian," Dilsmo said, pointing at the huge ice spire in front.
"No, I'm not here to rob your emperor's mausoleum. Is the emperor related to the celestial race?" Li Huailin asked. "Did your great god Saint Lofrey tell you about this?"
"Saint Lofrey didn't tell me anything, but if you are looking for something, it must be in His Majesty Brian's mausoleum because this is the only treasure of Cyros. Other than that, there's nothing else worth your attention," Dilsmo said.
"I …" Li Huailin facepalmed. He finally understood that Dilsmo didn't know what he was looking for, so he brought him here to see if it was what he wanted. If he wanted it, he could take it away. There was nothing he could do if he didn't want it. Li Huailin felt a headache coming on. Although he didn't know what treasures were in the mausoleum, what he wanted wasn't treasures, but information.
Of course, it was also possible that the God King sent Saint Lofrey here for something on this island. That mausoleum seemed to be the only possibility. According to Dilsmo, that was the only possibility. But the problem was … Li Huailin didn't think it was possible. This was just the mausoleum of the Cyros Emperor Brian, okay? Would there be something that the God King wanted inside? Wasn't that a little too exaggerated …
"Wait … why do I feel like I've heard the name Brian before?" Li Huailin suddenly said. Yes, when he repeated the name 'Bryans', Li Huailin suddenly felt that this name was a bit familiar. He felt that it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
At that moment, Millet landed in front of the ice spire. Li Huailin grabbed Dilsmo and jumped down out of habit. Of course, Saint Lofrey was also thrown to the ground by Millet. Li Huailin was still trying to recall where he had heard this name before. Suddenly, something strange happened beside Li Huailin. A figure suddenly appeared beside Li Huailin.
"Wait, something isn't right here," the figure said to Li Huailin.
"Eh? Why did you come out? " Li Huailin was taken aback. But when he saw the figure, he relaxed a little. But soon, he knitted his brows again. Yes, the figure that appeared before Li Huailin was the sword spirit of the Origin. As it was the sword spirit of his legendary sword, Li Huailin didn't find it strange. But soon, he felt that something was wrong because the Origin was different from Dim Light. It rarely appeared on its own.
"Wait … I suddenly remember." Without waiting for the [Root] to reply, Li Huailin suddenly shouted, "I remember where I heard the name Bryans before."
