Chapter 498: The Secret Under the Old House

Roland, the capital.

At nightfall, the pedestrians had disappeared, but on the contrary, there were many patrolling guards on the street.

They formed a team of ten and patrolled the streets in an orderly manner.

With such a big incident happening in the palace, no one can guarantee that there is no companion of the traitor in the capital, so the capital can only be put under martial law.

But who would have thought that the eldest daughter of the royal knight Gustav's family would actually assassinate Prince Dimiutuo, and she succeeded.

At this moment, the culprit is running wildly on the streets of the capital.

"Ingrid, why did you go back to Gustav's old house? I asked Lisa to go to Tianma Ranch to prepare. We should meet her directly!"

"Lei Yi, please forgive my willfulness, but my family has always kept a secret, and I have to verify it!"

Looking at Ingrid's resolute eyes, Lei Yi could only reluctantly agree.

These days, everyone has their willful moments.

Moreover, the other party is now burdened with the crime of murdering the prince and betraying Roland, yet he has to return to the old house, which shows that there must be some secrets in it.

The three of them moved forward cautiously, and after half an hour, they finally arrived at the gate of Gustav's old house.

Even though the king's capital is collapsing and the water is in dire straits, the old house of Gustav's family is still deserted and there is no trace of human habitation.

Under the dark sky, this deserted castle is even more gloomy.

The deep and messy grass, the dilapidated and mottled iron gate, and the dark green vines that almost spread to the entire castle all gave this place a haunted feeling.

"Ingrid, King Diggs gave your family an order that you are not allowed to enter your family's old house for life. Will you still obey this order?" Lei Yi looked at his companion standing in front of the door and said melancholy .

"I, Ingrid Cabriel Gustav, will no longer be a subject of the Kingdom of Roland from now on, and there will be no words in my name that symbolize the noble status of Roland!"

The framing of the white lion Priestley, King Diggs defecting to the Kingdom of the Night, and the death of Prince Dimiutto made Ingrid make a decision.

She gave up Roland's aristocratic status, and the word "Roland" no longer appeared in her name.

For the kingdom, now ruled by King Diggus, would no longer be worthy of her allegiance.

Then, as if to verify the declaration, Ingrid cut through the rusty iron gate with a sword, and then stepped into the old house first.

This action is to tell Lei Yi and Ye Kongling that she will never obey King Roland's orders again.

What was also severed was her loyalty to the current Royal Roland family.

Gustav's house, inside the old house.

After walking through the dense weeds, the three of Lei Yi stepped into the gloomy old house of Gustav's family.

As the three of them walked into the main hall, a burst of chaotic voices sounded from all around.

Dingling clang, ding ding dong dong...

This is the sound made by animals that use the old house as their habitat. Stray cats, dogs, and even wild birds and other animals live in this castle.

The facilities in the castle have been almost completely destroyed, and the furniture scattered on the ground is also damp and moldy. There are large black moss growing on the walls and ceiling.

Ingrid ignored everything around her, and went straight to the sculpture in the center of the main hall.

It was a sculpture of a golden knight.

The knight is wearing a golden armored stomach, and under the helmet is a long hair that looks like a lion's mane. He is tall and burly, holding a knight's long sword in his hand, like a hero who stands up to heaven and earth.

Even if decades have passed, even if the place has been abandoned for so long, this statue still exudes a terrifying aura that makes people dare not look directly at it.

This knight statue depicts the Golden Lion King.

But just today, the statue of the Golden Lion King was violently attacked.

Without any hesitation, Ingrid drew out her long sword, and a beam of sword light struck the statue in front of her.

In her eyes, the statue in front of her is no longer the respectable one,

The ancestor of the Roland royal family that cannot be profaned, the legendary Golden Lion King, is an ordinary stone statue.

boom!

Stone chips flew, smoke and dust rose, and the statue of the Golden Lion King was smashed to pieces.

When the statue was destroyed, the three of Lei Yi stepped forward to take a look, only to find a dark tunnel.

Ye Kongling grabbed it casually, and there were two extra oil lamps in his hand.

"Hee hee, you can go down and explore!" She handed Lei Yi a lamp, and then happily walked into the tunnel.

Lei Yi nodded to Yingguli, and then followed Yekongling together with her into the tunnel.

Just as the figures of the three disappeared into the hall, footsteps suddenly sounded above the old house.

In this empty castle, this burst of footsteps sounded particularly penetrating.

...

The three of Lei Yi got into the tunnel, walked through a long series of stone steps, and finally came to an empty underground space.

"Wow, there is still lighting equipment here!" A silly girl exclaimed from a position where Lei Yi could barely see.

Then I saw a fire light all around, then the second, and the third...

Soon, dozens of light sources lit up around this underground space, completely illuminating the place.

Lei Yi took a look and found that these were actually braziers, and each was connected in series by an oil tank, while Ye Kongling was standing next to an oil tank with a fire folder in his hand.

Obviously, this woman saw the location of the agency at first glance, and lit up the lighting equipment here.

"This is it!" Suddenly, the eyes of the three of them all turned to the end of the underground space, the left and right statues.

Still a knight with a golden armor stomach, still a golden lion king.

But this time, the shape of the Golden Lion King is a little different.

The Golden Lion King was wearing a golden lion armor, standing on top of a tall golden lion, holding a golden knight's long sword, and made a gesture of raising his arms and shouting.

And this statue is made of pure gold.

The movement and shape of this statue, as well as the gleaming color, are more magnificent and shocking than other statues of the Golden Lion King in the entire Roland Kingdom.

"Wow, gold~" But Ye Kongling didn't have longing for the Golden Lion King. When she saw the sculpture made of pure gold, she immediately rushed up.

Boom!

In the end, she bumped her head against a barrier, and there was a ripple in the air like a water wave.

"Hey, there is still a defense method?" Ye Kongling rubbed her painful forehead, and said angrily: "It's just a barrier, let's see how this princess breaks through!"

She stretched out her hand, and a circle of light appeared in the void.

Her arm stretched into the circle of light, and then a circle of light appeared next to the sculpture of the Golden Lion King, and an arm stretched out from it.

But the next moment, Ye Kongling's expression changed drastically.

"It hurts!" The woman exclaimed, and then retracted her arm.

At this moment, the surface of her arm seemed to be burnt by flames, and her skin became scorched black, with traces of green smoke emitting from it.

"Wow, this princess has actually been recruited!" Seeing this, Ye Kongling couldn't help crying with a "wow".

At this time, Lei Yi and Ingrid came to her side.

As soon as Lei Yi grabbed Yekongling's slender arm, he saw that the surface of her arm was slowly healing, but there would still be some pain in a short time.

"What's the situation? Can't your power of space break through that barrier?" Lei Yi asked.

"Who said that this princess can't break through, but that layer of barrier is not like a bubble-like defense, but like a water polo, filled with the aura of holy light that people hate!" Ye Kongling pointed at the barrier in front of him, with a look on his face. There is nothing to love about life.

"I understand!" Lei Yi glanced at the barrier to express his understanding.

If the barrier was just a layer of defensive restriction, it would naturally not be able to stop the Night Sky Bell.

But if this layer of defensive restriction covers all the space from the Golden Lion Statue to the outermost barrier, then Ye Kongling stretching his hand in is tantamount to exposing his arm to the restriction.

This defensive restriction filled every space within the barrier!

"Strange, what is such a powerful restriction to protect, the statue of the King of Knights?" Lei Yi glanced across the whole statue, but only saw a shining pure gold statue.

"Sword, it's that sword!" Ye Kongling was the old Taoist, who could tell what was the most special among the sculptures at a glance.

The knight king standing on top of the golden lion's head, the long sword held in his hand is indeed not integrated with the whole statue.

"That sword is..." Although Lei Yi was still a little uncertain, a picture flashed in his mind.

In the residence of Vice President Wenjin of the Magic City, he once saw a knight sword similar to the one in front of him.

"All in all, the secret here is the sword, but how to get it out?" Lei Yi looked at the barrier in front of him without a clue.

But the next moment, he saw Ingrid beside him walking into the barrier.

The barrier that made Ye Kongling suffer a lot, and the holy light within it, were completely unable to stop the woman's footsteps.

Ingrid, ignoring the light in the barrier, actually walked towards the statue of the Golden Lion King.

"How is it possible!" Seeing this, Lei Yi instinctively raised his hand and stretched out.

As a result, his hand was on the barrier, unable to advance an inch.

He felt that his hand was touching a hard iron block, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through this layer of barrier.

"Could it be that Ingrid was chosen by that sword?" Lei Yi pouted.

"That woman is so lucky, she might be able to evolve her abilities after getting that sword!" Beside him, Ye Kongling stared at the knight's sword and murmured.

"Evolution?" Lei Yi was shocked when he heard these two words.

Because the evolution of supernatural powers is not just a joke, if that sword can really evolve the abilities of supernatural beings, wouldn't it mean...

"You give up, that sword will only pick the right person, you can't even break through this layer of defensive barrier, of course you have no chance!"

But Ye Kongling stuck out her tongue at Lei Yi, with a look of disdain, and hit him off by the way.

On the other hand, Lei Yi looked at Ingrid, who had already walked to the side of the sculpture, and wrapped it around the hilt of the sword with a black cloth that she took out from nowhere.

Ingrid then exerted strength in her hand, and pulled out the knight sword from the sculpture's hand.
