Chapter 41

After the female guard cleaned up and went out from the small dark room, Xi Nian lay alone on the fairly clean bed, clutching the auntie's starlight crown in her arms, and the swaying cold fire light fell on him.

Huaguan, naturally it is impossible to return it back. After all, Retire is still beating Aunt Diana in the face.

However, this crown is too heavy.

In all respects, it is the most precious thing in the world and cannot be measured by value.

"Can I bear it?"

Xi Nian lay on the bed for a long time, finally sighed, put the crown on her head again, got up and walked out of the room.

Even if there is no claustrophobia, it is too boring here, and he wants to go out and catch his breath.

However, Xi Nian just walked halfway to the door, recalling the previous female general Antiope, and instructed the female guard on duty at the door not to let him walk around.

Now, he can fully understand why Antiope treats himself so badly.

If someone hits Aunt Diana's idea, Xi Nian's attitude will definitely be a hundred times worse! And if he knew the meaning behind her auntie holding a crown in advance, Xi Nian would never let her aunt wear it on her head!

...

If she was forced to go out as her Royal Highness, the female guard should not dare to stop her, but Xi Nian didn't want to embarrass the female guard, so she still turned around in the tunnel by herself.

Go back to your door.

Xi Nian stopped abruptly and looked into the depths of the corridor inside the ancient building. There was a little light at the end, and there was also a subtle wind coming through the dark corridor.

Since you are not allowed to walk around outside, it doesn't matter if you walk inside, right?

Xi Nian shrugged.

What's more, the female guard just said that as long as you don't take the contents out, there will be no problem.

Xi Nian did not think too much, did not stop, and continued to walk deeper into the ancient building.

"This wall is really thick..." The more Xi Nian walked into the corridor, the more surprised she felt.

In this ancient round building, there were almost no other rooms except the darkroom on duty just now. They were all solid brick walls, and there was only a not-so-wide corridor leading to the inside.

Can you imagine?

In terms of design style, this round building is like a closed poke ball. As long as the tunnel is closed, no one can get out of it.

"Perhaps, there is only a three-in-one state, which can forcefully break out while trapped inside..." Xi Nian pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered the Elemental Devouring Beast. My aunt said it was difficult to bring it to Paradise Island, so she entrusted it to  a friend who has experience in raising pets takes care of it for a few days.

That friend, seems to be called "Barry Allen"?

Xi Nian soon came to the deepest part of the building, and the moment he walked out of the tunnel, the scene in front of him was bright and cheerful!

Inside, it is a very spacious retro hall.

Strange stone murals and ancient Greek characters are carved around the hall, which seems to record a long, unknown history of old gods. The star-shaped metal bars on the top floor of the hall are filled with light, cool breeze, and air infiltration. A series of faint light beams of dust shone down, subtly falling on the stone altar in the middle of the ancient building's main hall.

Above the two-meter-high stone altar, there is a mysterious cube like object, like a rusty metal box.

The iron box, I don't know how long it has been left here, the glimmer, the dust, and even the years, all settled down beside it.

"Is this something that has been guarded for more than a thousand years?" Xi Nian stared blankly.

He finally knew why no one could touch it for thousands of years.

Let's not mention that Paradise Island has its own Zeus enchantment, which is guarded by Amazons, so it's pitiful to show off——

Who wants this broken box?

definitely, maybe it's a hidden artifact.

Xi Nian didn't intend to study it. He stood in front of the stone altar and began to exercise for middle school students.

Taking a deep breath, the air in the deepest hall communicated with the outside world, and Xi Nian felt a lot more comfortable.

But suddenly!

He seemed to see something in his aftermath.

Xi Nian stopped his movements, and his surprised eyes fell on the iron box on the top of the stone altar.

Just now.

Did that thing move?

...

Paradise Island, Amazon Palace.

The palace is magnificent and magnificent. Any of the decorations inside, including the golden seats and bead curtains that are still in use, are all collected by Collector.

"Queen." Diana walked into the palace and squatted down on a seat.

On the golden seat, a dignified woman with a golden crown and face and body somewhat similar to Diana, Amazon Queen Hippolyte, couldn't help showing an excited and true smile.

Hippolyte reached forward and touched Diana's face lightly with his palm: "My child, you have suffered outside alone."

"No." Diana shook her head lightly, clutching her mother's hand and said: "Queen, I'm fine, I can take care of myself."

"I definitely know. After all, you are the only daughter of my Amazon queen!" Hippolyte smiled and nodded, then paused suddenly, looking at Diana's forehead: "Diana, your starry crown?"

"Mother, I was about to tell you about this. This time, I didn't come back alone."

With a happy smile on her face, Diana said very seriously and proudly: "I gave it to a man, a human!"

...

Ancient building, inside the main hall.

Xi Nian looked at the iron box in a daze. Didn't the female guard just say that this thing hasn't been moved in thousands of years?

Did he see the iron box shake slightly just now? !

Dizzy, wrong?

Do not rule out this possibility.

Xi Nian just glanced at Yu Guang, it is very likely that the interference of light and shadow made him mistakenly think that the box moved.

To confirm.

Xi Nian took a deep breath , and approached the stone altar.

Nearly three meters away, Xi Nian could see clearly that the iron box on the stone altar had strange patterns, like stars and the sun, and a thick layer of dust accumulated on the surface of the box.

The light beam on the dome of the building bathed him.

Xi Nian subconsciously reached out to the iron box on the stone altar, trying to wipe off the dust on the surface of the box.

Fingers, a little closer.

Just before his fingertips were about to touch the box, Xi Nian hurriedly withdrew his hand again.

What you are doing!, touching other people's things is not a good habit!

but.

Seeing the dust on the box, Xi Nian also confirmed that he had made a mistake just now-if the box really shook, the dust on it would definitely be shaken off.

"Forget it, go back."

Xi Nian gave up exploring the broken box and turned and walked out of the building's main hall.

...

Xi Nian did not find out.

He just walked out of the main hall on his front foot and entered the corridor.

The iron box placed on the stone altar trembled slightly for several times, shaking off a lot of dust. The dust that shook off hadn't landed before disappearing into the space in the hall strangely.

The box seems to be trembling with autonomous life!

It seems to be afraid, afraid of something behind.

And this trembling soon fell back into the calm that had been maintained for thousands of years.

It continues to lie dormant, waiting for an opportunity!
