"The magic cores given by the Direwolves have all been used up. Even if I play dead, there won't be any left."
After entering the first district, Lincoln not only put on a large cotton-padded jacket, but he also circulated his Battle Aura because it was too cold.
Fortunately, because the first district was covered in ice, the structure of the buildings didn't change much. Xoura successfully found his secret base and brought Lincoln and Little Black to hide inside.
Because Little Black's injuries were too serious, he had been relying on magic cores to recover. After ten days, the food and water in the secret base were almost used up, and the magic cores were all absorbed by Little Black.
Hearing Lincoln's words, Little Black slowly opened his eyes and stretched his four legs. "It's been a long time since I enjoyed being served. It's quite comfortable."
"The supplies I left here can last for at most a day. We have to go out." Xoura sighed. He regretted not leaving more food in the secret base.
Lincoln looked at the outside world through the window. The dazzling light from the ice crystals made him dizzy. There weren't many magic beasts in the first district, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to reach here so easily.
However, in these ten days, Lincoln had seen at least three different rank 7 magic beasts pass by outside. If they were discovered, they wouldn't even have the chance to escape.
"I remember you said that there is a secret passage that leads to the palace." Lincoln put down the curtain and looked at Xoura.
"It's in the basement. You want to go to the palace?
That place is now the nest of the Frost Wyrm. "Xoura replied.
Lincoln pondered for a moment. There were only two paths in front of them. The first was to go out and find a way out while avoiding the magic beasts.
The second was the secret passage in the basement that led to the palace. If they didn't disturb the Frost Wyrm, the treasury's supplies would be able to last them for a long time. Maybe they would be able to wait for Traddles and the others.
After Lincoln finished his plan, Little Black's eyes suddenly lit up. "Is there a lot of magic cores in the treasury?"
"Speaking of magic cores … I think there are a few in my room." Xoura thought for a moment. "That's right, there are indeed some. At that time, I saw them shining so I put them away."
Little Black stood up excitedly. "Then what are you thinking about?
Let's go to the palace. Once this Demon King finishes absorbing the monster cores, I'll break the Magic Restriction Array. Then, all Frost Wyverns will die! "
Dong!
The footsteps of magical beasts could be heard from outside. Lincoln quickly covered Blacky's mouth. "Shh …"
Xoura swallowed his saliva. After a long time, he carefully opened the curtains, wanting to confirm if the magical beast had left.
However, as soon as the curtains were pulled open, a huge icy blue eye stared at them.
"Roar!"
"Run!"
Lincoln carried Xiao Hei and ran towards the basement. Xoura rolled and crawled all the way, and finally made it to the basement before the house was trampled.
In order to make sure that the insects were cleaned up, the magical beast even used its foot to crush them a few times after it was done.
The basement shook violently, and dust kept falling down. The narrow space was soon covered in dust.
"Is your royal family that poor?
Why don't you make the basement bigger? "Blackie complained in a low voice.
Xoura angrily said, "Do you know what a secret base is?
Do I have to make this place like the palace that everyone pays attention to?
Is it still a secret base of Hammer? "
Xoura became more and more excited as he spoke. He pointed at Blackie and said, "Also, do you dare to speak louder?
Why don't you call the Frost Wyverns over? "
"Okay, stop arguing." Lincoln had a headache.
"Hmph!
This Demon King won't argue with this baldy. "Blackie proudly turned his head.
"A real man doesn't fight with a dog!"
"Damn baldy!"
"Smelly dog!"
"Damn baldy!"
"Smelly dog!"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lincoln pulled Xoura and Blackie apart. "You think it's not loud enough?
That the situation is not bad enough?
What if the Frost Wyverns are attracted? "
Xoura turned his head and snorted. He then fumbled around the basement for a while and quickly opened a magic lock.
The magic lamps in the secret passage were not damaged. Xoura used to sneak out of the palace, so the secret passage was quite decent.
The three quickly arrived at the exit, which was blocked by ice. Xoura used a lot of strength to break the ice.
Looking at the room that had turned into a hole of ice, Xoura sighed. He walked to a cabinet and smashed it open. He then took out a small box and threw it to Blackie.
"This is all the magic cores I have collected."
Blackie took the box and opened it. It was filled with pieces of level 1 and 2 magic cores. The highest was only level 3.
"Just this?"
"You don't like it?" Xoura reached out to Blackie. "Give it back."
Blackie directly took out a magic core and stuffed it into his mouth. As he chewed, he said, "How can I take back what I've given away?"
"Shameless."
So what if he was shameless? For the sake of the magic core, Xiao Hei was willing to go all out.
Seeing that Blackie was almost done eating, Lincoln patted Xoura and said, "Let's go. Take us to the treasury."
Along the way, the three were very careful. They were afraid of waking up the Frost Wyverns. They would rather take a detour and take a secluded path.
However, after Lincoln climbed to a high point to observe, he frowned and came to Xoura and Blackie's side.
"I don't see the Frost Wyverns."
"Is it hiding?"
Blackie said. "It just broke the seal. Its strength must not have fully recovered. Otherwise, it wouldn't have stayed in this damned place for so long."
Xoura curled his lips. "I thought it was going to build a nest here.
It turns out it's afraid of death. "
The location of the treasury was very hidden. Ordinary people might not be able to find it even if they entered the palace.
"Tsk, tsk. You humans are really rich. The treasury is so big." Blackie looked at the towering treasury door and couldn't help but sigh.
"Instead of saying it's a treasury, it's better to say it's the House of Reydon's treasure trove. The name of the Free Kingdom actually existed in name a long time ago. Especially after the death of the only Level 9 Warrior, the House of Reydon completely lost control of all the cities."
Lincoln explained, "So don't think that the treasury is so big. That's because it was built in the past. In fact, there isn't much inside."
"That's right."
Xoura came to the door and put his hand on it. He said softly, "The Frost Wyverns were the last straw that broke the camel's back. After Grandfather passed away, this world no longer had the House of Reydon."
Blackie wasn't interested in human gossip and joked, "With such a big treasury, it's definitely not a problem to store the Frost Wyverns. Do you think that guy is really inside?"
Lincoln rolled his eyes at Blackie. "Can't you hope for something better?"
Xoura began to chant an incantation. The bloodline of the House of Reydon was activated. The runes on the door flashed, and soon a gap opened.
The door opened completely, and a man appeared in front of the three of them. Xoura stared at the man in front of him with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Who are you?"
The man reached out and put his hand on Xoura's shoulder. A cold air entered Xoura's pores, making him shiver.
"You came to my palace, but you don't know who I am?"
