There was a very special rule on the Dark Souls. Whenever someone plundered something, they could invite the Night Serenity Queen to appraise the treasures. Not only would the Night Serenity Queen not ask for any treasures, but she would also reward them. The better the treasure, the more generous the reward would be.
This time, Planck got the opportunity to rob the Voyager. According to the usual practice, he would naturally invite the Night Serenity Queen to appraise the treasure he plundered. But this time, the treasure he plundered was beyond everyone's expectations. It was a black coffin.
But even so, everyone only laughed at Planck before the golden gong sounded. When the gong sounded, everyone put away their previous unruly attitude and respectfully waited for the arrival of the Night Serenity Queen.
This was the rule. Anyone who broke the rule would die!
Tap, tap.
Along with the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground, a tall figure in a black dress slowly appeared in front of everyone. Her exposed snow-white and delicate legs were straight and slender, but no one dared to take a second look. She had long crimson hair that cascaded down to her ankles like a waterfall. Her face was covered by a silver mask. No one could see her true appearance, but everyone believed that the famous Night Serenity Queen must be an extremely beautiful woman.
Under the respectful gaze of everyone, the Night Serenity Queen slowly sat on the black crystal throne. She looked indifferently at Planck who was standing below the stage, and then turned to the black coffin. She didn't say anything, but Planck understood her meaning and stepped forward respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I only brought back this coffin. It's a pity, and I'm very sorry."
Hearing Planck's words, the Night Serenity Queen asked coldly, "What's inside?"
"I don't know for now, but I suspect it should be a corpse." Planck said to the Night Serenity Queen, "Do you want to open the coffin now?"
The Night Serenity Queen replied calmly, "Let's begin. It's been many years since I've encountered something so interesting."
The Night Serenity Queen said that it was interesting, but from her voice and expression, she did not seem to be interested at all. Planck was helpless about this. If he had known that there was only one coffin in the warship, he would not have fought for this opportunity. Not only did he waste a chance, but he also could not show his face in front of the Night Serenity Queen, which was really frustrating.
"Open it."
Hearing Planck's order, the entourage immediately began to open the coffin. The coffin was not sealed, so it was very easy to open it. When the coffin lid was lifted, everyone stretched their necks to see what was lying inside.
Those who were close to the coffin saw at a glance that there was a person lying in the coffin. It was a withered and almost lifeless person. It seemed to be a humanoid.
Planck tried to see if there were any valuables on this man, but unfortunately, there was nothing around him. Fortunately, he was wearing a storage ring and a bronze ring on his hand, which seemed to be worth some money.
Just when Planck was about to reach out and take off the two rings, the Night Serenity Queen suddenly said in a deep voice, "Don't touch him!"
Hearing the Night Serenity Queen's words, Planck stopped what he was doing. The others also looked up at the Night Serenity Queen with curiosity and confusion in their eyes. This was the first time they saw the Night Serenity Queen stop someone from inspecting her loot.
Facing the puzzled eyes of the crowd, the Night Serenity Queen said to Planck after a moment of silence, "I want this person. This is for you."
While speaking, the Night Serenity Queen threw something to Planck. When the crowd saw what it was, they couldn't help but breathe heavily. The Night Serenity Queen was willing to exchange a mid-grade sacred weapon for this person lying in the coffin!
Although Planck didn't know what this person lying in the coffin could do to the Night Serenity Queen, since the Night Serenity Queen was willing to use an extremely precious mid-grade sacred weapon for the transaction, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Your Majesty, he is yours."
The Night Serenity Queen didn't pay any more attention to Planck. She waved her hand and signaled the guards to carry the coffin to the back. Then she said to the crowd in an indifferent tone, "Continue."
After hearing the words of the Night Serenity Queen, the hall immediately returned to its previous noisy state. Everyone was toasting, eating, and chatting happily. But while chatting, they also looked at the Night Serenity Queen with curious eyes. They were very curious about why the Night Serenity Queen was willing to use a mid-grade sacred weapon to exchange for a dying person. But although they were curious, they still understood the rules. They would never ask about things that they shouldn't ask about.
Two hours later, the figure of the Night Serenity Queen disappeared silently. The hall was still lively.
… …
In the hall that belonged to the Night Serenity Queen, the opened coffin was placed in the center of the hall. The Night Serenity Queen slowly walked to the coffin and looked at the figure lying in the coffin. Then she asked the Tian people in a red dress, "Ling 'er, have you checked?"
Hearing this, Ling 'er nodded and replied, "I've checked. This person should have been seriously injured and exhausted in a battle, so he fainted. He was already at death's door, but someone used pure spiritual qi to protect his heart meridian, allowing him to survive until now. According to my calculations, he has been unconscious for at least ten years."
Hearing Ling 'er's answer, the Night Serenity Queen nodded gently and said, "Go and get the thing in the first cabinet."
When Ling 'er heard the Night Serenity Queen's order, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide and said, "Your Majesty, that is the treasure you kept for when you break through to the Form Synthesis Stage. Are you going to use it on this useless person?"
The Night Serenity Queen turned her head and looked at Ling 'er deeply and said, "You are wrong. My hope of breaking through to the Form Synthesis Stage is no longer in the first cabinet. It is in him!"
Ling 'er looked at the Night Serenity Queen in astonishment. Then she couldn't help but look at the unconscious person. Her mind was full of question marks. How could such a dying person become the hope of the Queen to break through to the Form Synthesis Stage?
"Do as I say."
The Night Serenity Queen's words woke Ling 'er up. She immediately turned around and went to get the thing in the first cabinet.
After Ling 'er left, the Night Serenity Queen looked at the person lying in the coffin and said softly, "After so many years, I thought it was just my imagination. I didn't expect it to come true."
