Chapter 419 Wedding Banquet (19)

Chapter 419 Wedding Banquet (19)

In the underground storage room, weapons were unsheathed, swords were drawn, and everyone's expressions were very serious. From the bulging veins on their arms and necks, and the sweat secreted from their foreheads from time to time, it can be understood that the current situation is extremely serious, whether it is the Knight Commander and others, or the Tig captain Xin whose identity may have been exposed, or the vampire Tarun who was involved in this trouble.

However, not everyone is like this. There is one person who is not like this, and that is Han Zu, whose identity is not far from being completely exposed. This guy has a smile on his face because he has a hunch that as long as he can find the obelisk, he will be able to leave this world and return to his own world. Although he doesn't know why he has such an intuition, this feeling is indeed very strong.

No one spoke in the entire underground storage room. The air was filled with tension and awkwardness. No one knew what this elusive and mysterious "inquisitor" was going to do.

Han Zu's hand suddenly moved. Everyone was shocked and ready to fight back at any time, but this guy just pulled off his hooded cloak. The edge of the cloth kept rubbing against his neck, which was a bit itchy.

"Ahem! Since you guys are silent, what should I say?"

No one answered.

"Okay, I just have one question. As long as you tell me the answer, there will be nothing between us anymore. You can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me."

"What do you want to ask?"

“Wuwuwu! Wuwuwu!!”

At Xin's feet next to the door, the vampire Tarun was tied up by those strange tentacles and thrown there, with her mouth blocked by a piece of hard bread stolen from the kitchen. She wanted to say something to warn everyone, but the ropes formed by the tentacles kept sucking her energy, so now she was very weak and couldn't even bite the bread. But even so, she still tried hard to make a sound to warn others present.

However, it was obvious that although the Knight Commander and others noticed Tarun's abnormality, their main attention was still focused on Han Zu, so Tarun's voice was quickly ignored by them.

"It's simple. I just need you to tell me where this place is in the castle. It's that simple."

Han Zu took out a photo stone and projected the image recorded in it onto the wall. The image showed him and the soldier he had captured on the city wall. He found two mattresses from somewhere, rolled the soldier up in them, and threw him directly out of the city wall. Although he was thrown out of the city wall, he would still be injured due to the protection of the mattress, but he would not break any bones. However, he would definitely have sprains and abrasions. However, all in all, the soldier was actually the only one who had escaped from the castle.

"Uh, the city wall?"

"What? Oh, sorry, I got the wrong one."

After hearing the woman's answer, Han Zu took a look at the content played in the photo stone. He had taken the wrong one. Including the soldier he threw out of the castle and the dead Clemmon, Han Zu had a total of two photo stones in his hand. The one he was using now was originally prepared to reduce his threat after the other party knew of his problem and refused for the first time. However, although the order was wrong now, it actually had little impact.

"These photo stones look exactly the same, and their sizes and weights are pretty much the same. Sorry, I meant this place."

This time, Han Zu took out the correct photo stone and played the scene that the Knight Commander and others had recorded at the location of the obelisk. Han Zu pointed to the obelisk, indicating that was the place he was looking for. As soon as everyone saw the obelisk, they instinctively wanted to reject him. After all, anything related to the obelisk was the most important.

"This is impossible!"

"Don't be nervous. I just want the location of this thing. As long as you tell me, you can still leave with the image stone and continue your operation."

"Absolutely not! That thing is very dangerous. Although I don't know what you are going to do, even if..."

"Spit! Can't say! He wants to activate the obelisk! He's not an inquisitor! He's a visitor from another world!!!"

At this moment, probably because he was a little hungry, Tarun finally bit off the bread in his mouth that was as hard as a rock, and then spat it out, shouting out all the words in a flash. Fortunately, the storage room was converted from a dungeon, so the sound insulation was very good. In addition, the baking kitchen above was also working and it was very noisy, so the chefs and kitchen helpers upstairs didn't hear a thing.

"What?!!!!"

However, the others in the storage room heard it clearly. When they heard Taron's shout, their hair stood on end. The Knight Commander clenched his dagger and rushed over. This guy wanted to open the obelisk. No matter if he was a visitor from another world or something else, he must not be allowed to open the gate of hell. After the Knight Commander rushed over, the other soldiers, including the woman, followed and began to attack Han Zu.

"boom!"

However, these people obviously underestimated Han Zu's strength. To be honest, Han Zu himself did not expect that his abilities would be enhanced so dramatically. He just subconsciously waved his hand towards the ground. As a result, everyone in front of him, including Xin and Tarun, were all pressed to the ground by a strange force. Even the bricks and stones on the ground were broken due to the huge pressure.

"Fuck! I'm sorry, I even did that to my own people."

Han Zu reduced the range of his power and eliminated Xin. Although he could get up now, Xin, who was shocked by Han Zu's power, did not get up immediately. Instead, he lay there, thinking about himself and his teammates, and they might have fallen into a bad situation.

"You seem to be willing to sacrifice your lives to prevent the obelisk from being activated. Can anyone tell me why?"

Being controlled by others, they had no other choice but to tell them the possible consequences once the obelisk was activated, as well as the history of some kingdoms regarding the obelisk fragments.

"I think there is something wrong with your statement. According to what you said, no one has ever activated the complete obelisk, and you have no accurate records of the obelisk fragments that caused the turmoil in the kingdom. This means that the disaster was caused after those fragments were activated. So it is very likely that you have not known the specific situation for a long time, right?"

"this..."

Han Zu's question did make sense. Everyone was confused. After looking at their appearance, they realized that they were no match for him at all. So Han Zu withdrew his strength and loosened their restraints.

"So activating the obelisk doesn't necessarily lead to a disaster. It's possible that nothing will happen, right?"

"It is possible, but..."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Even if there is a one percent chance of causing a disaster, I will never tell you where this place is. We are no match for you. You can kill us or chop us up as you like, but don't even think about hearing anything from us!"

"Really?"

"Do it!"

"Well, then there's no point in keeping you here, including you, Tarun. So...get out of here, don't delay my work here."

However, an unexpected and even incredible situation occurred. Han Zu gave up the position of the teleportation array, walked through the crowd and came to the vampire Taren. After taking away the tentacles from her body, he opened the door of the storage room and left this place with Xin.

The behavior of this fake judge made the others stunned. They couldn't believe that the other party just left like that.

"Go check the teleportation array to see if it has been tampered with. When they used the shielding spell of the archmage to get in, they might have destroyed the structure of the array."

Fortunately, the Knight Commander had seen a lot of the world and recovered quickly. He immediately asked his soldiers to check the teleportation array, but the result also surprised him.

"Boss, the teleportation array... not only has it not been destroyed, but because of the energy of that guy just now, it has filled the magic stones around the array. Now we can all use the teleportation array together, and we can teleport directly back to the capital."

"Varied..?"

The Knight Commander was a little bit unbelievable, so he, who was proficient in magic, personally checked the teleportation array. It was just as the soldier said, the guy didn't do anything. The guy's energy was weird and powerful. If he had done something, it would be impossible not to find out anything. The only explanation was that the guy really didn't destroy the array. But he charged the magic stones around the array, which should be unintentional.

"No matter what, everyone, come here! We have to go back immediately. That guy is looking for the whereabouts of the obelisk. We must set off immediately! The sooner we report the news to the king, the less losses we can suffer. If we are fast enough, we may be able to return with a large force before that guy finds the obelisk!"

The situation was urgent, and everyone immediately entered the teleportation array, but the woman stood there with a serious expression, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Hey! Aren't you leaving?"

"I need to leave the kingdom. I won't risk going to the capital. You guys go. I'll go somewhere else."

"Alright then. Let's go!"

The Knight Commander led his remaining soldiers, left the castle through the teleportation array, and returned directly to the royal capital. He immediately met the king, who was still asleep, with his own identity. The king was not very happy to be woken up from his sweet dream by his nephew, but when he heard the news reported by the Knight Commander, he excitedly jumped up from the bed, both excited and thrilled, but these two emotions were soon swallowed up by fear.

"Quick! Gather all the troops! Assemble immediately! Head to the Duke's territory immediately! Zhuang Sen (name of the Knight Commander)! You must go to the Inquisition and the Cathedral immediately, take the photo stone and my scepter, and inform the Chief Judge and the High Priest of this matter immediately! Move quickly! From now on, I will give you all the authority of the kingdom! Anyone who dares to stop you will be killed!"

"Yes! Your Majesty the King!"

As the Knight Commander immediately set off for the Court of Inquisition and the Cathedral, the King also immediately changed out of his pajamas. Upon learning of the incident, the next King, the King's eldest prince, immediately rushed over.

"Father! Jonson's information..."

"Yes, it's true, kid. I will lead the army to the obelisk immediately. During this period, the kingdom and the capital will be handed over to you. If I can't come back this time, you will directly succeed to the throne. Do you understand?!"

"Father! I'd better go. What if the obelisk is really..."

"Nonsense!"

The eldest prince's emotions were genuine. Compared to other princes in the kingdom, he was undoubtedly a wise ruler, and naturally he was genuinely worried about his father. But the king had no time to praise him now.

The prerequisite for political struggle is that there must be a place for politics to exist. Once the obelisk can really destroy the entire kingdom, then there is nothing to do. Therefore, the king really attaches great importance to this matter, so much so that he directly put on the armor that he hadn't worn for more than ten years. Judging from the perfect size of the armor, the king is not a guy who only knows how to play power games, but a real person.

Leaving aside the actions in the royal capital, back at the castle, the woman still remained where she was. After being freed from his restraints, Taren turned into a blood mist and left immediately to inform his companions. He also informed others of what might happen and the existence of the obelisk. Things were beyond their control, so these people looted a lot of gold and silver treasures in the castle, and ventured out of the castle through the water inlet leading to the moat through the underground sewer. These people had no ties, and after learning the seriousness of the matter, they simply used the identities of "Candle Merchants" and "Siren" elves to leave the kingdom, hide in the territory of the dark elves, and prepare to go directly to other continents from the port here, but that's another story.

Back to the present, Tarun has just left.

The woman always felt that something was wrong. The man disguised as the Inquisitor seemed to have a certain obsession with the location of the obelisk, but he let everyone go easily without even making any extra attempts. He must have missed something.

"not good!"

However, the woman also understood that it was not advisable to stay here for long. No matter how the matter at the obelisk progressed, she had to escape from the kingdom. But just as she stepped into the teleportation array and was about to start the teleportation, she suddenly realized why the man let everyone go.

"The Duke used the obelisk to summon many monsters to cause terror attacks in the kingdom!"

She suddenly remembered that the Knight Commander had accidentally told this matter to others just now, which meant that the man now knew that the owner of the castle not only knew the location of the obelisk, but also knew how to activate it. Although he was not sure whether the monsters emerged from the obelisk, it was most likely true.

"Damn it!"

After struggling, the woman gave up the idea of ​​leaving. She needed to find a way to stop the man from finding the location of the obelisk. She couldn't go directly to the obelisk, otherwise she might be discovered by the man. His strange power made the woman shudder, but she did have one last way. Of course, it was not ethical, but there were reasons, and the situation was urgent. In addition, the guy was not a good person, so the woman could still do it.

"That also allows you to escape the kingdom's punishment, tsk!"

After re-confirming that there were no blood vessels or tentacles on her body, the woman left immediately, ready to completely resolve the hidden danger. She wanted to assassinate the owner of the castle to prevent him from telling the man the exact location of the obelisk under torture.

He is not only a vicious duke, but also the woman's biological father.
