After getting to know each other for a period of time, Qi Ying knew that the nobles in the Realm of All Nations were very honorable, especially among the noble circles, courtesy exchanges were a very important means of communication.
"James wants to give me something, maybe to win over, maybe to test!"
While thinking, Qi Ying and Alicia followed James out of the imperial garden, but instead of going to the palace, they followed the path of the garden until they reached a gardener's cabin.
The guard opened the door for James.
The three of them entered. Qi Ying took a look at the hut and scanned it with his spiritual thoughts, finding that there was nothing special about it.
"Your Majesty brought us here because he wanted to give me the gardener's scissors, right?"
Qi Ying pointed at the big scissors for pruning branches in the corner and smiled.
"If Mr. Qi Ying wants it, he can take it."
James smiled and then clapped his hands twice.
Bang bang!
Click!
Along with the sound of clapping, a hole suddenly opened on the floor of the hut, revealing a series of long stairs leading deep into the ground.
"It turns out there is another world. Is the underground made of special materials? I just checked with my spiritual mind, but I didn't find anything unusual in the underground."
Qi Ying was slightly surprised.
"Every kingdom has its own secrets. The place used to keep the secrets will naturally cost more." James turned around and said, "But this place is not too important, 'Black Stone Mine' 'It is a very common ore that can shield spiritual thoughts, and the material is extremely tough. However, it cannot be used for refining. It can only be cut and shaped to build houses, etc. Many nobles and royal families will use it to build secret rooms - Mr. Qi Ying Don’t you know this black stone mine?”
There was a hint of doubt in James' words.
Qi Ying shook his head and said: "Ashamed, indeed not. I have had little contact with forces outside the family since I was a child, and our family did not use black stone mines to build secret rooms, because our castle is covered by hundreds of miles of area. With the magic circle used to confuse others, the castle itself will not be found."
"Your family is so mysterious and powerful!"
James still had doubts about Qi Ying. Which noble in the entire realm would not know about the black stone mine
But the possibility that Qi Ying is telling the truth cannot be ruled out.
The three of them went underground along the stairs.
There were only a few torches lighting up the dark tunnel, making the atmosphere particularly gloomy.
As James walked down, he said to Qi Ying: "Look, the walls of this tunnel are entirely made of black stone mines. If you do anything here, even if you kill someone, no one will know about it!"
"Yes!"
Qi Ying smiled slightly.
He was completely convinced that James deeply doubted himself.
Because the place where he killed Prince Jack was a secret room made entirely of black stone mines.
"kill him?"
For a moment, an idea came to Qi Ying's mind.
But he quickly overruled himself.
James was only suspicious, and because he was afraid of the unfounded Adams family, he did not dare to do anything detrimental to himself without sufficient proof.
It's not the time to fall out with James yet - after all, what Qi Ying wants most is a recommended spot in the Killing Trial.
…
The tunnel was quite long, and it took the three of them a quarter of an hour to walk before they stopped in front of a railing made of ten thousand-year-old black iron. From behind the railing, there was some sound like water flowing.
"What treasure has your Majesty hidden here? Could it be an underground river?"
Qi Ying asked jokingly.
"You will see it right away. It is a very precious thing. If I had not been able to use it, I would not have given it to Mr. Qi Ying willingly."
"Oh? I want to see what it is. But since it can't even be used by a powerful person like His Majesty, my hope will be even slimmer."
"It has nothing to do with strength."
James shook his head slightly, and then shot a ray of fighting spirit towards the black iron railing.
Click!
The railing door opened, and several people entered a deeper tunnel, but there were no stairs and they walked sideways.
After about a hundred breaths, Qi Ying finally saw the light.
A hot breath hit his face, and Qi Ying followed James out of the cave entrance. The sight in front of him made him suffocate slightly: "Lava? Has this place touched the depths of the earth?"
The entire cave is dozens of feet in diameter.
Except for the rock at the entrance, the bottom of the entire cave is filled with hot lava, emitting thick heat and glowing red.
Qi Ying's impression is that lava can only be found in extremely deep places underground.
When changes occurred in the Tianluo Continent, Qi Ying came into close contact with lava in order to destroy the core array arranged by the invaders from the outside world, and almost died in it.
James did not answer Qi Ying's words, but pointed to the center of the lava with one finger: "Mr. Qi Ying, did you see that? The treasure I said I wanted to give you is that!"
"Um?"
Qi Ying squinted his eyes.
But in the center of the lava, there was a small flowing area, which looked different from other places.
Suddenly something emerged from the lava. It was long and looked a bit like a sea snake. It was covered in magma. It opened its mouth, and drops of magma dripped from the corners of its mouth.
"A creature that lives in lava?" Qi Ying was slightly surprised, "It's such a rare thing!"
Brother Liu poked his head out of Qi Ying's arms: "Hey, it's so hot... Eh? What is that? It looks like a big red worm, so ugly!"
Alicia frowned and said: "It's strange, I can't judge its realm."
"If you can't tell, that's right."
James nodded.
Qi Ying asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what's going on? What is it?"
"What exactly is it? I don't know, but what I know is that it is a spirit born from heaven and earth! It is not a life at all, and it has not been conceived with a complete mind. It just has some characteristics of life. . It can be said that this is an incomplete spirit, but for this reason, no one can tame it - just like people can tame a monster, but cannot tame a piece of ore. And there is no way to use this guy's body. It's just magma, it's the same as the surrounding magma, and it won't be of any use after you die."
"Then why did Your Majesty give me this? It sounds so useless!" Qi Ying said.
"I think as the young master of the Adams family, Mr. Qi Ying should have the means to conquer or use it, right?" James narrowed his eyes, and there seemed to be flames beating in his pupils, "If Mr. Qi Ying can conquer or use it, I will give it to Mr. Qi Ying unconditionally. There is nothing I can do now. Mr. Qi Ying can take it away at any time as long as he is willing!"
