The giant serpent, whose cursed stone had been broken, was lying on the ground, motionless. However, the soldiers dared not be careless and still surrounded it.
Her Royal Highness frowned. She used a piece of cloth torn from her clothes to wrap her palm. She then picked up a piece of the Cursed Stone. This kind of Cursed Stone had been pried off by the scholars when they were in the research institute. If humans touched it directly, they would turn into sand.
Even the broken Cursed Stone had the same ability. However, it was the first time that the princess had seen the serpent Behemoth resurrecting through the power of the Cursed Stone and bringing the other Behemoths to life.
"Your Highness, it's ready!" A palace guard hurriedly rushed to the princess's side. "Are we going to ascend the sentry tower now?"
"If we don't do it now, when will we do it?" The Princess snorted coldly.
There was a tower in the palace, which was requested by the princess in the past. The purpose was to be able to see the situation of the city wall from the position of the palace. It was usually used on the day when the night was the longest.
At this time, Her Royal Highness rushed to the sentry tower, and the little handmaiden followed closely behind her. She was still wearing the golden armor, and everyone still remembered her appearance when she destroyed the giant serpent monster. At this time, most of them were in awe of her.
The princess was really amazing. A little handmaiden beside her actually had such divine power … She really hid her strength well.
"Yalian, what happened to you?" The princess suddenly lowered her voice and asked after a moment of silence.
This little handmaiden did not have such divine power before. She was indeed a very ordinary little girl in the palace. She was very simple-minded and could not hide any secrets at all … The princess did not believe that she would hide it from her all the time.
Something must have happened after she left the Pharaoh's Great Hall. That was a very short period of time, and it would be inconceivable for something to happen. Therefore, the princess herself was not completely sure.
She stared into the eyes of the little handmaiden, Yalian.
"It said it's called the Lamp God!" The little handmaiden hurriedly said, "It came out of the oil lamp Your Highness gave me … I, I don't know. I just wiped it a few times!"
The princess's frown deepened. "What did it say?"
"You have to give Yalen three wishes. She has to grant them."
The little maid recalled the incident with the red genie. "He seemed to be in a hurry. I was scared at first, but it didn't seem to be able to do anything to me … It felt like. "
Her Royal Highness reached out to touch the golden armor on the little maid's body … A stream of light flashed across the surface of the golden armor, and she couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression. "This armor was given to you by it?"
The little maid nodded.
Her Royal Highness asked directly, "Can I take it off?"
The little handmaiden shook her head. "No, I tried, but I couldn't take it off … This gun is the same. It will come back by itself after you throw it out!"
Her Royal Highness nodded and immediately asked, "What about that oil lamp? Where did you put it? "
"He's still in the main hall!" The little maid slapped her forehead and said, "Aiya! I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, I fell behind, at that time … "
Her Royal Highness waved her hand and interrupted her. "Since he's still in the main hall, let's talk about it later … No one will be interested in that oil lamp, and now it's a mess … The behemoths are the top priority."
Having said that, Her Royal Highness couldn't help but ponder … Did Yalen really summon the genie from that oil lamp?
It was true that she threw the oil lamp to Yalen, but that oil lamp also appeared beside her after she woke up … out of thin air.
While pondering, Her Royal Highness had already climbed up the sentry tower. At this time, a guard brought in a prop that could be used to observe the position of the city wall. This was a magical tool developed by Her Royal Highness' research institute called a telescope.
A monocular.
She stretched the monocular and aimed it at the position outside the city wall. In order to allow the area outside the city wall to observe the environment at night, Her Royal Highness ordered people to build many beacon towers outside the city five years ago, and they would be lit every night.
At this moment, under the illumination of the fire, one could see groups of huge figures surging like a tide … The black mass of behemoths looked as if they would trample all of Sun City into ruins.
Even if she was used to seeing behemoths, after ten years of war … Her Royal Highness couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
She was well aware of the power of Sun City. Without the protection of the True God's power, there was no way Sun City could survive the charge of a large number of behemoths with its own military strength.
However, the True God's protection of Sun City could only be activated on the longest day of the year … and now, that time had not come yet!
"Your … Your Royal Highness, what … what should we do?"
Behind her, the young handmaiden's trembling voice rang … A blank look flashed in Her Royal Highness' eyes. Yes … what should we do?
"We can't stop it alone." Her Royal Highness took a deep breath and said, "I need your help, Yalen … If the legend is true, then you are the only savior of Sun City in this calamity!"
"Me … me?" The young handmaiden's eyes widened at once. Then, as if thinking of something, she gripped the golden spear with both hands and nodded vigorously. "Alright! I'll go fight them! "
"Your courage is not bad, but you should wipe the tears from your eyes first." Her Royal Highness shook her head and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of Yalen's eyes. "How can I let you go to the battlefield? Even if you want to go to the battlefield, it should be me … This is my responsibility as the Sun Princess. "
"Then … Your Royal Highness is saying?" The young handmaiden reacted at once. "Lamp God?"
"Yes … if the legend is true." Her Royal Highness nodded. "It can help us … and only you can ask it to do so. Are you willing to use a wish that can achieve anything? "
She nodded heavily without any hesitation. "Of course!"
"I think I understand why it didn't have any reaction when I touched it." Her Royal Highness smiled bitterly. "I'm not a pure person."
"Your Royal Highness, how can you not be … Ugh?"
Her Royal Highness' hand directly covered the young handmaiden's mouth and whispered in her ear. "I'm not as good as you believe … If, if one day you find out that I'm not me, please don't forget your heart that wants to protect Sun City."
Although Yalen didn't understand, she still nodded silently.
Her Royal Highness then said in a deep voice, "Then, make a vow in front of me … No matter what difficulties you encounter, no matter what desperate situation you encounter, don't forget your determination to protect Sun City."
She solemnly made this promise in front of her.
Her firm and stubborn eyes were like magnificent pearls.
Her Royal Highness then said in a self-deprecating tone, "Understand, I'm just a despicable person … One day, you'll understand that I hijacked your thoughts … Go, go to the palace, find that oil lamp, and make a wish again!"
"Your Royal Highness, you?"
"I want to go to the temple …" Her Royal Highness said seriously, "Although the blessing of the True God can only be activated during the longest night, I still want to try."
With that, Her Royal Highness turned around, waved her hand, and said loudly, "Ring the big bell, open the palace, and take refuge in the city!!"
After a while, the huge bell sound spread throughout Sun City … And Sun City began to fall into panic and chaos at this moment.
…
…
The bell sound also spread to this place.
Yamanlana stopped, and Boss Luo behind her said, "What's the matter?"
"It's the big bell." Yamanlana was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice, "It will only ring when Sun City encounters the biggest threat, and then the palace will open. I dug many cellars around the palace walls that can be hidden, and stored materials for many years. "
"If the giant beast breaks into Sun City, can the residents escape?" Boss Luo nodded and said, "It's really a comprehensive approach."
"Unless it's a last resort." Yamanlana shook her head, "The situation outside is much more serious than I thought … I feel that tonight is the true longest night."
Boss Luo said, "Why is there a day when the night is the longest night every year … What is attracting the giant beast?"
Yamanlana said, "The day when the night is the longest is the time when the True God's power is the weakest, and the giant beast will have a chance to break into Sun City."
Boss Luo said, "They know?"
Yamanlana frowned. There had never been a definite explanation as to why the giant beast only rioted on this day — at least the scholars in the research institute couldn't answer her question.
"Maybe they know, maybe they don't." Yamanlana sighed and said, "There are still many secrets in the subspace where Sun City is located that I can't solve. Because of this, I … "
"You …?"
Yamanlana said indifferently, "I also became selfish … So selfish that I even want to get out of this cage and give up everything here."
"Retreating in the face of danger is not a shameful thing." Boss Luo said casually, "Escaping is often more effective."
"But it's shameful!"
Yamanlana gritted her teeth and punched the wall beside her — This hard wall was instantly broken by her fist.
"Have you seen the True God?" Boss Luo handed over a handkerchief, "I heard that Your Highness is the Saintess of the temple and can hear the voice of the True God."
"Not necessarily." Yamanlana quickly wrapped her injured fist with the handkerchief, "I can only hear one-sided, and I can only hear some voices occasionally."
"What are you talking about?" Boss Luo asked gently.
Yamanlana thought for a while and said, "It's not a language that I can understand, it's like a message, I can only understand bits and pieces … But all along, the True God statue seems to be sending me the same message … freedom."
"Freedom?" Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "It wants freedom?"
Yamanlana shook her head, "I don't know, it's it or something else … It's just, it's just freedom."
"Hmm …" Boss Luo nodded and immediately asked, "Since Your Highness can't communicate with the True God, how did it give you the [Divine Artifact]?"
Yamanlana suddenly stared at Luoqiu and looked at him silently … She slowly opened her mouth and said, "You, came here from the outside world."
"Why do you say so?" Boss Luo asked back.
Yamanlana said, "Only in this way, you won't look confused when I tell you the knowledge that doesn't exist here, and you can understand it … It's the same when we were in the research institute."
"Your Highness is really observant." Boss Luo smiled casually.
Yamanlana frowned and said, "Answer me!"
"Your Highness." Boss Luo said, "How about this, I'll tell you something you want to know, and you answer one of my questions."
"Okay!" Yamanlana said quickly, "Let me ask you first … Who are you, and what's your purpose for coming here?"
"Origin or purpose?" Boss Luo blinked.
Yamanlana frowned, "Purpose!"
Boss Luo said, "I came here to find someone."
"Who?"
Boss Luo said calmly, "Your Highness, this is the second question."
Yamanlana looked at Luoqiu deeply and suddenly said, "You can ask, but I won't answer you immediately … You didn't set a time limit for me to answer."
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Then Your Highness can't ask me the next question."
Yamanlana said calmly, "But at the same time, you won't know the answer to my first question … Strictly speaking, I'm the one who benefits."
Luoqiu smiled carelessly and then said, "Your Highness, do you like here or outside?"
Yamen Lana snorted and turned away. Just as she said, she wouldn't answer immediately … She left just to confirm one thing at first … Now she had confirmed it.
This young guard, Iben, was indeed an outsider.
The road ahead seemed to be ending.
Yamanlana suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "If you want to find a way out of here, listen to my instructions later … I'll try my best to help you leave here, but I can't guarantee anything. The [Door] has always been in the hands of the High Priest, only he has the way to open it."
Boss Luo asked curiously, "Why do you want to help me?"
Yamanlana said calmly, "Don't think too much, I just don't want innocent people to get involved … Of course, maybe you're not innocent, but you have a purpose. Iben … You're a dangerous guy to me, I don't want to get too close to you. "
Yes, a dangerous guy … a guy who would make people confused!
