Chapter 1573 The distance from hope to despair
There was no sense of time and distance while walking in the mines. I don’t know how long it took or how long it took. The team finally stopped. Because the rocks were blocked in front of me, I could no longer move forward. Shimir said in a deep voice: "Look for other ways."
Taro said bitterly: "There is no more road, Miss, this is the last one."
On the way they came, they had passed the forks of the road for many years, and many of them had been blocked. This should be the end of the mine. Shimir was unwilling to accept it: "Are we just stopping here? His Majesty Andorra must be here!"
A guard posted on the pile of rocks and said, "Miss, there is wind."
If there is wind, it means that there is a larger space behind the pile of stones. Shimir immediately said: "Explode it."
"I'll do it." Alan stepped forward and reached out to stick his hand to the pile of stones. Soon the pile of rocks began to turn red. Stones of all sizes became red, and then with Alan's palm as the origin, a circle of flames spread out. Everything everywhere in the flames turned into ashes, making a gap for Alan. After the pile of rocks, there was indeed another space. Seven or eight light columns swept in, and you could see that this was a ground hall. I don't know whether it was natural or artificial. The stone columns supported the dome of the ground hall.
The group walked in and walked a distance deep into the ground hall and heard the sound of water. An underground river flowed past. There were glowing microorganisms in the ground river, which made the whole river look like it would glow. Fish swimming in the river, but these fish that have lived underground for many years basically had eyes and looked very strange. Suddenly, a light came up in front of them, and a moment later there was heavy footsteps. As the light gradually approached, Alan saw that it was a torch. Under the torch was a man in a cloak, and he couldn't see clearly, but from the hand holding the torch, he should be a little old. The other party stopped on the other side of the river and said, "This is the cemetery of the deceased. They should not be disturbed. Who are you? The mining area has been closed, why are you still here to disturb the dead?"
Shimir looked excited. Sure enough, someone lived here deep in the mining area. She trembled: "We are Gus, you... no, are you His Majesty Andorra?"
Hearing this, the man's shoulders trembled, then took off his hat and showed an old face. The old man's hair was only a few strands, but whether it was skin or the cat ears, it meant that he was also a Gus. His eyes were very small and looked very strange. The old man said, "What did you say just now?"
"I said, are you His Majesty Andorra?"
"Are you here to look for the Sun Chaser?" The old man laughed bitterly: "Miss, that's just a legend."
"I don't believe it!" Shimir took out the broken sword and said, "His Majesty Andorra must be here, otherwise why would his sword flow out of the outside world from this mining area?"
"So that's it. It seems that you have made some effort. That's right, my compatriots, His Majesty Andorra is indeed here. Well, come with me, and His Majesty should also hope to see his tribe members again."
Shimir cried out, and Taro and the others were also very excited. Only Alan remained silent. First, he was just an outsider, and second, he didn't think Andorra was still alive. The reason was very simple. He deliberately released his energy when he created a gap. If Andorra was here, with his strength, he should feel his energy, then Alan should have a little sense of response or other actions. However, there was nothing, and everything was too calm.
They crossed the Earth River and followed the old man in front of them. The ground hall gradually narrowed. Finally, at the end, a wordless stone tablet stood in front of everyone. Behind the stone tablet was a dusty armor, a few spears were inserted, a sword blade was placed, and more than a dozen other things were scattered. Seeing the monument and the things behind, Shimir shook his whole body, and she looked at the old man and said, "Where is Your Majesty Andorra?"
The old man reached out and drew the stone tablet and said, "It's here, this is His Majesty Andorra's place of sleep."
Hearing this sentence, Alan lowered his head, and his feeling was indeed right. But for Himir and others, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. Especially Himir, just now, she thought she could see the legendary figure. However, what she left was a cold stele without words and some Andorra's relics. Himir seemed to have lost all her strength, and the girl sat on the ground and looked at the stele without words for a long time.
The old man said: "After His Majesty Andorra was seriously injured, the Kidds chased him hard. His Majesty's personal bodyguard risked his life to rescue him. After several twists and turns, he settled on this planet. He originally planned to make plans after his injuries recovered, but he did not expect that His Majesty's injuries were getting heavier day by day. When he was recuperating here, His Majesty was very concerned about his people and deeply blamed himself for being unable to save everyone. In the end, His Majesty was still unable to turn the world back and cared for
Despair and self-blame died. He said he was ashamed of the Gus clan, so he did not have to leave his tombstone after his death because he was not worthy of being an emperor. The guard buried him, and he never left in order to protect His Majesty's tomb. I am the descendant of the guard. We have been guarding this place for generations, and I am already the last tomb guard. Now you are here, it's great. In any case, His Majesty shouldn't be here, he should go back to his hometown..."
As he spoke, the old man was silent. He was standing there, touching the stone tablet with his hands, and smiling on his face. Seeing that he had not moved for a long time, Taro walked over, reached out to his nose, and then turned to Shimir and said, "He is dead."
Shimir's body shook.
After coming out of the mine, the sky was extremely dark and the night was about to fall. Alan glanced at several people behind him. Except for Himir, each of them was carrying something. It included Andorra's remains, the emperor's armor and spear, etc. As for the tomb guard, he was buried in the ground hall. The tomb he had guarded for his life and eventually became his own place of sleep.
The group quietly boarded the land bike, and the vehicle left the mine and drove towards the station where the starship was parked. Shimir curled up in the corner like a soulless doll. Taro sighed and said to Alan: "Your Majesty, can you ask for something?"
Alan seemed to know what he was going to say, shook his head and said, "I have said a long time ago that instead of pinning his hopes on a legendary character, it is better to cooperate with me directly. Unfortunately, Shimir didn't listen, but my promise was still valid, but even so, Shimir had to stand up by himself. No one could help her, and I couldn't do it."
PS: Merry Christmas! I said before that I will update the last week of the last month of this year, starting today!
