There was no sense of time or distance as they walked through the tunnels. After an unknown amount of time and distance, the group finally stopped. The path ahead was blocked by rocks and they could no longer move forward. Simir said solemnly, "Find another path."
Tarot said bitterly, "There's no other path, Miss. This is the last one."
They had passed many forks on the way here, and many of them were blocked. This should be the end of the tunnel. Hilmir was unwilling to give up. "Are we going to stop here? His Majesty Andal is definitely here! "
A guard leaned against the rocks and said, "Miss, there's wind."
The wind meant that there was a larger space behind the rocks. Simir immediately said, "Blow it up."
"Let me do it." Allen stepped forward and placed his hand on the rocks. Soon, the rocks began to glow red. Rocks of all sizes turned red, and then, with Allen's palm as the center, a ring of flames spread out. The flames turned everything to ashes, opening up a gap for Allen. There was indeed another space behind the rocks. Seven or eight beams of light swept in and saw that it was an underground hall. It was unknown if it was natural or man-made, but stone pillars supported the hall's dome.
The group walked in, and after walking a distance into the hall, they heard the sound of water. There was an underground river flowing. There were glowing microorganisms in the underground river, making it seem as if the entire river was glowing. There were fish swimming in the river, but these fish that lived underground all year round basically didn't have eyes, making them look very strange. Suddenly, there was light in front of them, followed by heavy footsteps. As the light gradually approached, Allen saw that it was a torch. Under the torch was a cloaked man. He couldn't see his appearance, but from the hand holding the torch, he seemed to be quite old. The other party stopped on the other side of the river and said, "This is the graveyard of the dead. They shouldn't be disturbed. Who are you people? The mining area has already been closed, so why are you disturbing the undead here? "
Simir looked excited. There were indeed people living in the depths of the mining area. She said with a trembling voice, "We are Gus. You … No, are you His Majesty Andal?"
Hearing this, the man's shoulders trembled, and then he took off his hat, revealing an old face. This old man only had a few strands of hair, but whether it was his skin or his pair of cat ears, it was clear that he was also a Gus. His eyeballs were very small and looked very strange. The old man said, "What did you just say?"
"I say, are you King Andal?"
"Are you looking for the Sunstrider?" The old man laughed bitterly. "Miss, that's just a legend."
"I don't believe it!" Himir took out the broken sword and said, "His Majesty Andal must be here. Otherwise, why would his sword leave this mine?"
"So that's how it is. Looks like you've really put in a lot of effort. Yes, my compatriot, His Majesty Andal is here. Alright, come with me. His Majesty should be hoping to see his people again. "
Hilmer cheered. Tarot and the others were also very excited. Only Allen remained silent. Firstly, he was just an outsider, and secondly, he didn't think that Andal was still alive. The reason was very simple. When he had created the gap, he had deliberately released his aura. If Andal was here, with his strength, he should be able to sense his aura. Whether it was his response or other actions, Allen should have sensed it. However, there was nothing. Everything was too calm.
They crossed the underground river and followed the old man in front of them. The ground gradually narrowed, and finally, at the end, a wordless stone tablet was erected in front of them. Behind this stone tablet was a pile of dusty armor, a few spears stabbed into the ground, a sword blade, and a dozen or so other scattered objects. Seeing this tablet and the things behind it, Himir's body trembled. She looked at the old man and said, "Where's His Majesty Andal?"
The old man reached out and drew a line across the stone tablet. "Right here. This is His Majesty Andal's resting place."
Hearing this, Allen lowered his head. His intuition was right. For Himir and the others, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, especially Himir. This was especially true for Simir. Just a moment ago, she thought that she could see that legendary figure. However, what was left for her was a cold wordless tablet and some of Andal's relics. Himir seemed to have lost all her strength. The girl sat on the ground and looked at the wordless tablet for a long time without saying anything.
The old man said, "After His Majesty Andal was seriously injured, the Kidds chased after him. His Majesty's personal guard risked his life to save him. After several twists and turns, he arrived at Planet Loz and settled down on this planet. He had originally planned to wait for his injuries to recover, but he did not expect His Majesty's injuries to worsen day by day. While recuperating here, His Majesty was very concerned about his people and deeply blamed himself for not being able to save them. In the end, His Majesty was unable to reverse the situation and died in despair and self-blame. He said that he had let down the Gus, so there was no need to leave his name on the tombstone after his death because he was not worthy of being an emperor. That guard buried him, and in order to protect His Majesty's tomb, he never left. I am the descendant of that guard. We have guarded this place for generations, and I am the last tomb guard. Now that you are here, very good. No matter what, His Majesty should not be here. He should return to his homeland … "
As he spoke, the old man fell silent. He just stood there, his hand touching the stone tablet with a smile on his face. Seeing that he did not move for a long time, Tarot walked over and put his hand to his nose. Then he turned back and said to Himir, "He's dead."
Himir's body swayed.
When they came out of the mine, the sky was extremely dark, and night was about to fall. Allen glanced at the people behind him. Other than Himir, everyone was carrying something on their backs. Among them were Andal's remains, the emperor's armor and spear, and so on. As for the tomb guard, he was buried in the underground hall. The tomb he had guarded all his life had finally become his place of eternal rest.
The group silently boarded the road vehicle, and the vehicle left the mine and drove to where the starship was parked. Himir curled up in a corner like a soulless puppet. Tarot sighed and said to Allen, "Your Majesty, can I ask you for a favor?"
Allen seemed to know what he wanted to say. He shook his head and said, "I've said it before. Instead of pinning your hopes on a legendary figure, you might as well cooperate with me directly. It's a pity that Himir did not listen. However, my promise still stands. Even so, Himir must be willing to step forward herself. No one can help her with this, not even me. "
