240 Chapter 240, Arabian Nights
"This is really..." Arthur clicked his tongue twice, and he used a short knife to pry open the crack in the stone. Inside was a black crystal compass, which was emitting extremely crystal light at this moment.Fortunately, Arthur was in the body of a child, so he easily reached in and pulled the compass out.
The characters on the compass are not familiar to Arthur. They are not so much words as some kind of pictures. The most striking thing is the six grooves on the outside. Each groove has a different shape. There is also a Arthur stared at the circular groove for a while, then pressed the obsidian eye into it neatly.
A perfect fit.Arthur heard a soft sound, and then the Sky's Eye Stone was embedded comfortably. It was as if a god's eye had been opened on the compass, watching everything in the world calmly and majestically.
At the same time, there seemed to be some commotion in the treasury. The Shimen closed to death at a speed that did not match its weight, and a large cloud of smoke rose up. Arthur choked and took two steps back quickly, and the frowning brows quickly relaxed. , he seemed to guess what happened.
When this group of people went in, he intentionally didn't remind them of the weight issue, that's exactly what he wanted to do.
These greedy people will not have the ability to observe meticulously. Maybe they will find stones, but they will definitely not take it to heart. If they move a lot of property rashly, the self-protection mechanism of the treasure house will definitely work.It's just that Arthur originally thought that some deadly mechanism would be triggered, but he didn't expect to lock people in it?
Now, except for Alibaba or Alibaba's descendants, no one can open this door.
In fact, according to Arthur, these villains should be locked up inside for a year. Even if they kill each other and feed on their own kind, they will definitely not last that long-the treasure cannot be eaten.
However, people like Ali Baba must not have the heart, so Arthur had no choice but to give these people to the robbers for "sanction".Robbers come fairly often, hopefully they won't get too angry about the treasure someone gave them.
This hope is as impossible to realize as Arthur will never eat candy in the future. The robbers will not let go of those who know the existence of the treasure house. The fate of Kasim and these scoundrels has been doomed from the beginning.
Arthur put the compass in his arms, and was about to turn around to take over the group of camels that had lost their owners, when the compass suddenly vibrated, just like receiving a short message in a world dominated by technology, but compared to Arthur's current body, such a The vibration was a bit violent, and his steps stopped.
Arthur: Why is it a bit dirty? !
Regardless of whether it was dirty or not, Arthur still took out the compass, and the whole disc shone with unstoppable vibrations, and the obsidian eye was even more radiant, and the light flickered on and off.
Arthur hesitated slightly, and took two steps to the left. The Sky's Eye Stone's light dimmed, and he walked back, and the Sky's Eye Stone returned to its previous brightness.Without the threats around him, Arthur walked left and right, and finally stopped at the place where the sky's eye stone was most radiant.
This piece of sand didn't look out of the ordinary. Arthur stepped on it and didn't respond at all. It didn't look like there was a mechanism.
He'd better drive the camel back first, anyway, it would be a lot of income.
But as soon as he lifted his foot, Arthur felt the sand under his feet soften!
Damn delay!Arthur held the compass tightly, feeling the quicksand slowly submerging him.The brilliance swayed by the sky-eye stone has almost reached the point of dazzling, and the light guaranteed his breathing in the sandy soil. Like a reverse-growing radish, he slowly, slowly sank into the sand.
There was silence save for the rustling of some creature in the sand, a fat-tailed scorpion trampling his prey, the sound of a chest comb brushing against the grains of sand made one's ears itchy; The cold air at night... Many voices passed by Arthur's ears, but these little creatures were very far away from him. Within five kilometers of the treasure house, there were hardly any small animals living, even those foxes, if not Called by Arthur, he will not easily enter the canyon.
——It seems that they kept a considerable distance out of respect.
Finally, when he dived to a certain depth, Arthur's feet were empty, and he fell down with a "click", and the soft silk was just under his body. There was almost no pain, and the compass did not fall out of his hand.
Although it is underground, there are bright pearls that illuminate the surroundings, and the entire wall is covered with gold powder. At first glance, this place is not as magnificent as the treasure house, but in fact, the cost of every inch is more than ten times that of the treasure house!
Arthur walked on the gemstone path, which meanders forward and is paved with countless moonstones, with small pine green beads on the edges, which are smooth and lovely.Walking on this road is like walking on a long river of moonlight. This river flows all the way to the sky, and the end cannot be seen clearly.
The treasure house is huge, and the dark room built under the treasure house is even more astonishingly large. Arthur walked for a long time, and the decorations polished into beads changed from turquoise to red coral, and then to amber, and finally all changed. It became a big black pearl, and the surrounding bright pearls also decreased, and the environment suddenly dimmed.
But this dimness is to set off, to set off the "sun" appearing in the dark underground.
Ali Baba searched all night, feeling emaciated with jealousy. He vaguely guessed something, so after thanking those who came to help, he apparently gave up searching.
The child was not worth much, and someone comforted him. Ali Baba put on a forced smile, and when everything calmed down, he pulled off his turban.
"Kasim..." For the first time, he didn't call Kasim "brother" respectfully, but instead called him by his name bitterly, "Why can't you come after me? Do something to children..."
"What should we do?" Ali Baba's wife asked nervously. "Is Arthur all right?"
"He is not an ordinary child. He is better than me." Ali Baba comforted his wife, but the other party's ability is one aspect, and his own failure to protect others is another aspect. Deep self-blame erodes him Heartbroken, he took one last deep breath.
"I think I know where Arthur is. You can stay at home and I'll be back at night."
Ali Baba's wife could read the seriousness from her husband's understated tone, but she couldn't say anything, just clutched the collar tightly and sent her husband out the door.
The figure of the man gradually disappeared on the street. Ali Baba's wife hadn't looked back until her eyes became sour, and she slowly lowered her head, with a teardrop hanging on the tip of her nose.
"Allah bless those two for their safe return."
Arthur turned around the ball of light. He still couldn't guess what it was. The light was so strong that people couldn't see the inside of the thing clearly.Arthur poked it with the dagger that was not out of its sheath, and the light ball swayed a few times, floating to the side as if he didn't want to be disturbed.
The little glowing ball made Arthur's long-held childhood interest move around. This thing was very similar to the golden ball he loved to chase when he was a baby dragon, even brighter. Arthur kind of wanted to hug this thing in his arms. Roll twice on the ground, but he is still cautious after all, and will not get started easily at present.
Since it was the compass that guided him here, and the place where the light cluster is located is the end of this place, then the compass might resonate with things.
As soon as the compass appeared, the surrounding air boiled a little, and the light cluster trembled, swaying left and right and circling Arthur.Arthur moved the compass a little away from his body, and the ball of light couldn't wait to bump into the surface of the compass, and it smashed into pieces!
Arthur:! ! !
The things wrapped inside the light group were finally revealed. At the same time, the figure stretched out from Wumu Dangong and gesturing on the map suddenly raised his head, and his long brown and golden hair fluctuated like water.
He came across a vague connection, a part of his body that had been placed somewhere had changed.The king's compass is activated, and the key of Solomon is the key to unlock it. The opened eyes of gods will gather the power of the devil again.
how come?He has searched for the king's compass for many years, not only because it is a prop to communicate with the demon kings, but also because it is the most cherished treasure of his king, and he has been with him for a long time. He really wants to get that relic , in that case, at least he could still feel the breath of the king.
Who moved that compass?Son of Solomon?
Condor smiled mockingly, he no longer looked at the map, he stretched out his sleeves like wings, and walked out of the palace.
His king has no heirs, just relatives who are an eyesore. For the sake of this so-called descendant helping him find the king's relics, he just gave the other party the storage room full of sundries. I really care about that level of wealth.
Outside the palace, gold and silver birds dragged their long tail feathers and chirped crisply among the emerald leaves. Everywhere in this palace seemed to be shrouded in a layer of smoke, and frankincense comparable to gold was burning everywhere. Winding around the branches of gemstones, it condenses into a fragrant liquid. Just one drop of this liquid can dye people's body with fragrance for several months.
This is Yishu Palace, a place a hundred times more luxurious than Wumudan Palace.
It is also the former residence of the king.
Condor's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then, his desire for the compass used by the king swelled even more. He almost couldn't wait to go to the mortal world and get back the king's things!
Arthur gently reached out and caught the glowing feather.
The feathers were very soft, like the softest part of the bird's belly. Although the whole feather was weak, it was radiant. The light brown veins were almost transparent, and the golden down was fluffy and almost weightless.
Arthur held the feather, a little embarrassed, he seemed to have no suitable place to store this fragile thing.
In the end, the compass helped him solve the problem. The feather was swallowed, and he wandered in the transparent area in the center of the compass, wandering around happily.It was just a feather, but Arthur felt his heart soften.
Scattered memories poured in along with the feathers—
[The gold coins and precious stones offered by various countries are useless, and there are too many of them. 】
[Then build a storage room. 】
[Since it is a storage room, there is no need to build it too well. 】
The young Wang chewed sesame candies, and casually threw a password to the officials who came to ask for instructions.
"The secret word to open the door? 'Sesame, open the door'."
