The seal inscriptions on the surface of the Casket of Seals were all messy, and the lid had been pried open violently. It looked like it had been stolen.
However, this was just a facade. Bai Xiaowen could see through the facade with the Eye of Evolution. In fact, the Casket of Seals was intact.
After the tall and thin figure finished all this, he quickly turned around and ran back along the stone stairs. As he ran, his figure quickly faded and then disappeared.
Li Shuyi was confused and asked in the team channel, "What is this guy doing here?"
Bai Xiaowen understood, "This should be the arrangement made by the fake Prince Richard in advance. I guess the sudden stop of those people was the fake Prince Richard's delaying to give his companions time to secretly do something. His ultimate goal must be the Casket of Seals. "
Not long after, the group of leader-level powerhouses came to the underground space under the lead of the dean of Merda. Perhaps it was because the forbidden area did not allow unauthorized people to enter, those elite guards with halberds and palace guards did not follow.
On the stone stairs, the dean of Merda walked at the front and said while walking.
"Everyone, this is the end of the underground mausoleum, the secret place guarded by the North County Monastery for generations — the Pass of Light."
"The great Lord of Light's blessing has firmly sealed the evil in the depths of the leyline. In the Pass of Light, the slightest trace of evil energy will be expelled and cannot be retained. "
"Your Highness, on the guardian altar in front, there is the Holy Casket that seals the evil. As you can see, the guardian incantation is intact, and the Holy Casket is also … "
The dean of Merda, who had entered the role of a tour guide, suddenly exclaimed, "The Lord of Light is above!"
She hurriedly rushed over, ignoring the people behind her, and her voice became extremely sharp, "This is impossible! The Holy Casket of the Lord of Light … how could this be? "
At this time, the other leaders also hurried over and saw the scene in the center of the altar.
"What's the situation?"
"Oh my god."
"It seems that something is wrong with the Holy Casket."
The leaders and experts whispered to each other.
The dean of Merda turned a deaf ear to them. She stared blankly at the center of the altar, at the Holy Casket that had been violently pried open.
"No, this can't be real … This must be an illusion, a demon's illusion. The Holy Box has always been closely guarded, so it's impossible for anything to happen to it! "
Merda emitted a spiritual wave from between her eyebrows. She tried to use her spiritual perception to detect the situation of the holy box.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen detected another obscure wave of mind energy behind Prince Richard. He glanced at him and saw that he was one of Prince Richard's two personal "guards". He was wearing a gray cloak and had a small and thin build.
"Could it be that … this person is also a psychic and is using skills like mental interference to disrupt Merda's senses?" Bai Xiaowen thought.
Everyone present was so excited that no one noticed the gray-cloaked man's little trick. Only Bai Xiaowen, who was watching from the sidelines, noticed it with his powerful spiritual talent.
Despite knowing that Merda had been deceived, Bai Xiaowen did not intend to expose her.
At this point, Bai Xiaowen had basically guessed Prince Richard's plan, and he was in awe of Prince Richard's bold and imaginative ideas. Prince Richard's actions were also beneficial to Bai Xiaowen, so it was best to wait and see.
Merda did not see through the illusion formed by the "sea serpent shell" and was a little dazed for a moment.
Prince Richard coughed and began his performance.
"Merda, it seems like my worries have come true. The Holy Box has been destroyed and the evil sealed inside has been stolen. This is a serious dereliction of duty on the part of the North County Monastery. Not only have you let down your ancestors, but you have also betrayed the trust of the Empire! "
"I suspect that it was the two outsiders who came to the Pass of Light first and stole the sealed item. Merda, it was you who let them go. You have an undeniable responsibility! "
Prince Richard tossed a cauldron to Bai Xiaowen effortlessly, and then said,
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and activate the protection spell. Let us go to the altar and take a closer look at the Holy Box! "
Merda did not insist. She had made such a huge mistake in her duty. She should be responsible for all the living beings in the Northern Region and the Yalun Continent!
She could only comply with Prince Richard's request. Since the Holy Box had been opened, there was no point in maintaining the protection spell on the altar.
Merda took out a palm-sized statue and knelt on the ground, chanting. The statue emitted a bright light, and the spell on the protective membrane of the altar echoed.
Whoosh. It was as if a layer of invisible light had been opened. The air flowed, and there was no longer any barrier between the altar and the crowd.
Prince Richard nodded with satisfaction. "Gloria, bring me the Holy Box."
"Wait, don't touch the Holy Box directly!" The coarse nun beside Merda shouted. "The Holy Box seals the hand bone of the Death God, Nairo. It contains a vicious curse … Anyone who touches the Holy Box will be affected by the Death God's curse and die immediately!"
"Is that so?" Prince Richard smiled sarcastically. "Now that the hand bone in the Holy Box has been stolen, only an empty shell is left. If what you said is true, why didn't the two outsiders who stole the Death God's hand bone die here? "
The coarse nun was speechless. She only insisted, "Gloria, don't listen to him!"
"Go, Gloria. Don't forget His Majesty's order. If you are still loyal to the Empire and the Royal Family," Prince Richard said with a smile.
Gloria nodded and took a deep breath. She stepped forward with the sound of clanging armor.
"Gloria! You have to believe me! "The coarse nun stood in front of Gloria.
"Get out of the way, Sonia." Gloria sighed. "This is His Majesty's order. I am following His Highness Prince Richard's orders to investigate the seal in the cloister. With such a big loophole, we can't waste any more time. "
The coarse nun, Sonia, looked at the Dean of Merda for help. The latter was still in a daze. She had no idea what to do. She could only watch as Gloria brushed past her and reached for the Holy Box with her blue hand armor.
"Hmm?"
The moment Gloria touched the Holy Box, the illusion created by the sea serpent shell was automatically removed. After all, it was just an illusion created by a Grade A prop. Once touched, it would be exposed.
The Holy Box reappeared in perfect condition.
A wisp of black gas suddenly drilled into Gloria's body.
"Ahhh —"
Gloria's scream resounded through the whole place. Her body stiffened! The black gas rolled over her face.
Before anyone could react, Prince Richard took the initiative to attack.
"Spear of Death!"
A bolt of lightning pierced out. The target was the Dean of Merda! This spear, which had been charged for a long time, directly nailed the defenseless Dean of Merda in the back. She was sent flying dozens of meters away and nailed to a nearby stalactite pillar!
Prince Richard smiled proudly and suddenly opened his palm! The lightning spear that was nailed to the Dean of Merda suddenly exploded and turned into countless tiny electric snakes. They locked the Merda to the stalactite pillar, unable to move!
"You liar!" Sonia roared angrily. She moved her two elephant legs that weighed more than 50 kilograms and rushed toward Prince Richard.
Beside Prince Richard, the tall and thin figure who used the sea serpent shell earlier met the attack. The long and narrow blade slashed across! Sonia's leg exploded with blood. She staggered and almost fell. Her speed was sharply reduced.
The other "guard" beside Prince Richard, the gray-cloaked man, raised his hand. Suddenly, the Holy Box of Seals in the hands of the stiffened Gloria flew over diagonally. Prince Richard reached out and caught it.
"This … What is going on?"
The sudden turn of events left Greater Lord Glantis's side dumbfounded.
"He … is not Prince Richard at all! He is also an outsider. His purpose is to snatch the hand bone of Death God Nairo! "
On the stalactite pillar, the Dean of Merda finally endured until the electric force dissipated and fell heavily to the ground. She covered the terrible penetrating wound on her chest and gasped.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at the Dean of Merda. Her situation was not optimistic. "Prince Richard" actually took out one-third of her Health Points in one move. At the same time, she was in a heavily injured state, with all her attributes reduced by 25%! It was enough to see the power of that spear.
"An outsider?"
Lord Gloria was a little surprised and could not help but look at Prince Richard with some caution.
Grand Swordsman Carlisle took a step forward and stood in front of Gloria to protect her.
"Didn't you say that the Holy Box of Seals has the Death God's Curse?" Gloria looked at the stiff and motionless Gloria, whose face was black and rolling. She then looked at the Awakened Richard, who was holding the Holy Box in his hand but did not have any adverse reactions. Gloria said doubtfully, "Since the Holy Box is not destroyed, it means that the curse still exists. Why is he fine? Also, Gloria did not die directly. "
The Dean of Merda coughed and said, "Because Gloria is more special … She once received the grace of God, and the Death God's Curse is restrained by the grace of the Lord of Light. The principle of the Death God's Curse is that after the current contact is cursed to death, it absorbs the negative emotions before the death of the other to become stronger, and then it will take effect on the next contact … Gloria is equivalent to blocking the curse for this fake prince! "
After a pause, the Dean of Merda continued, "Gloria did not die directly, but her body is now in the battlefield between the power of light and the Death God's Curse. Her end will be more terrible than death. This outsider deliberately brought Gloria, the champion knight of God's Grace, here to break the Death God's Curse … Despicable villain! "
Prince Richard held the Holy Box of Seals in his hand and carefully looked at the sealing spell on it. He ignored the curses of the natives of the spiritual world and laughed at his two companions instead. "Ghost Cutter, Holy Words, we finally succeeded. It was not in vain that we spent so much effort to prepare."
The tall and thin man who was confronting Sonia was the agility-type Awakened, Ghost Cutter. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse. "Congratulations, boss."
The spirit-type Awakened, Holy Words, in a gray cloak, was confronting the injured Dean of Merda from a distance. His voice was low and pleasant, giving people a sense of reassurance. "Boss, it's not safe yet. Do it as soon as possible, lest something unexpected happens."
The Awakened Richard said to Glendis, "Yes, I'm an outsider. However, on the surface, my identity is still the prince of the Lionheart Empire, and I have the right to mobilize the local troops of the Imperial Army in the Northern Region! Lady Gloria, why don't you and I make a deal? "
Gloria said warily, "What do you mean?"
"You help me kill Merda, Gloria, and this ugly woman. In return, after I leave the mausoleum, I will mobilize the army to help you recover the Northern Region. "
Gloria shook her head. "I won't trust an outsider."
"We can swear to the gods," Richard said. "Although I am not from this plane of existence, the oath witnessed by the gods is still valid. If I violate it, I will pay a heavier price than you. You can trust my sincerity."
Gloria seemed to be a little moved. She hesitated. "Must we kill the Dean of Merda?"
"Of course, these two people must die." Richard laughed. "If they are alive, my identity will be in danger of being exposed. At that time, not only will I not be able to help you, but I will also be hunted down by the Imperial Army."
"Lord Gloria, don't listen to him! This outsider wants to steal the Grim Reaper's Hand Bone, which is more terrifying and evil than the soul stone. Once he succeeds, I don't know how many innocent lives will be sacrificed! " The Dean of Merda shouted weakly. "Once your collusion with the fake prince is exposed, it will become a huge scandal. Your subjects will no longer support you!"
Richard sneered. "Enough, you crazy woman! As long as you die, who will expose my fake identity? "
"I will."
A slightly ethereal voice sounded.
"Who is it? Who's talking? "Richard shivered and looked around.
Sheng Yan, who was wearing a gray cloak, carefully scanned for a while and shook his head slightly.
Richard, Sheng Yan, and Gui Qie were communicating through the team channel. They confirmed that they could not find the speaker.
Bai Xiaowen used his spiritual force to transmit his voice and exploded it in the air. This way, no one would be able to identify where he and Li Shuyi were hiding.
The Night Crow Plume Feather was indeed an S-grade item. The 7 priority stealth effect was definitely not for show. It was equivalent to a 3-star stealth skill from a hero class! Unless Richard and the others had a 3-star anti-stealth skill, they would not be able to find Bai Xiaowen and Gui Qie.
However, after Richard asked, he quickly reacted.
"It's you guys? Dior Si Kail Bloom … I know your real name is definitely not Dior, so I'll call you Dior for the time being. I advise you not to interfere with my plan. Otherwise, you won't have time to regret it! "
"Hehe, hehehe …"
Bai Xiaowen's laughter drifted around the underground space.
"I'll call you Mr. Richard for the time being. What I'm curious about is, since you've already succeeded, why don't you hurry up and leave Aaron? Based on your careful planning, you should have completed the main mission in advance. "
