The Spirit World

Chapter 977 Shadow Pendant (Thirteen)
"It doesn't matter whether there is a future or not, Pylos, what we belong to is the [present]." Tang Zixu obviously did not agree with Pylos' special "optimism."

"These old magical objects are lost, now, Pylos."

Tang Zixu's hands were paralyzed, and she looked helplessly at Pylos as he walked out of the underground storage room of genuine items.

And Pylos was just crossing the stairs, resting his hands on the origins of those special cuts, looking back and smiling with a very strange expression. His golden hair was half gold and half white under the illumination of the damaged glowing crystal, appearing half cold and half hot.

"I have already found them once, Miss Tang Zixu."

Pylos walked into the corridor and handed the list to the guarding soldier.

"The future is too empty, and I'm happy to change the present."

After he finished speaking, Tang Zixu frowned and followed him, but he didn't say anything. Seeing that Tang Zixu and Pylos didn't say anything, the guard saluted solemnly.

He put the list away and waved his hand solemnly to clear the way to the museum.

"General Kraft and Her Majesty the Queen invite you to see me. Please follow me."

After saying that, he walked in front. He was not tall, with dark skin, and was obviously a countryman. After the outbreak of the [Qiu Long Zhu Hu Incident], the Chu Long faction won a tragic victory, and many small families and civilians who followed the Chu Long faction got promotion opportunities. Farmers in the countryside could also enter the Flying Eagle Team through official assessments.

And this is one of them.

Passing through the huge museum corridor, going up the stairs, and following the flashing magic patterns on the wall, a light gate suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The guard stood aside, while Pylos and Tang Zixu behind him quickly passed through the light gate.

Behind the light gate is the magnificent Royal Museum - broken stone pillars, fakes on display, motionless and showing off their tiny flaws, the destroyed magic defense system is in tatters, the art paintings and fake artifacts displayed under the dome of the Royal Museum are still gorgeous, the Royal Museum decorated with white walls and gold edges is empty, but it displays treasures made by the work of god.

This place is huge, and the history of the entire country is also loaded with falsehoods - the power of the [Word Spirit] possessed by the real treasure is unstoppable. It is too easy for someone who can use magic to steal the collections protected only by glass containers. Almost all of these here are master-level fakes, and leaving them intact is the greatest respect for them.

Or maybe no one knows where the real thing is stored.

This is the biggest doubt. A large number of genuine treasures are protected by a teleportation array in a place known only to a few people. This light gate leads to this place, but if it was premeditated, it must have been done by an "insider".

Therefore, this matter is very serious, not only because the stolen treasures are real treasures, but also because of the [internal doubts] behind this matter. It is also a critical moment in the war, and no one is willing to make even a single mistake.

The overlap of important matters and urgent matters puts people under great pressure. Obviously, Pylos' optimism is not so friendly in front of Tang Zixu.

But Pylos made up a story about a "granddaughter" whom she had never heard of, which made her very confused and she had no choice but to give up.

Tang Zixu walked beside those glittering fakes, looking seriously at the collections that were called national treasures. In the eyes of the Rastar people, the innovation of a country's science and technology was the most important treasure, and the aesthetic art created by individuals was almost meaningless. Even in the most peaceful times, technological innovation was always the top priority.

However, Pylos seldom came into contact with Tang Zixu. As a "mud leg" who often hung out in libraries and ancient tombs, he treated every fake with a calm eye, even though most of the originals no longer existed.

He often comes here to donate treasures dug out from ancient tombs, and is quite familiar with this place. Those "guys" who are missing from his list may only have such a fake left in their lifetime, so they can't help feeling a little disappointed.

He once joked that he could keep searching and searching for the treasures left behind by history and never get tired of it.

But when they were stolen again and I thought about how I could never get them back, my mind went blank and I didn't know what to say. I could only walk past the fakes without blinking.

After experiencing real war, he was no longer young. The wars he remembered were always in history, in the documents in ancient tombs, or in the descriptions of too tragic deaths.

But now, having experienced the Great Purge, the Tiger-Chasing Factions, and nearly a month of war, he found that he was no longer moved by empathy when he saw the written descriptions, but was instead cold and numb in the face of blood.

Compared with war and political struggle, theft is nothing to mention.

But he couldn't solve any of them.

"You are confused. You were just talking about the future."

Tang Zixu looked at Pylos's back nonchalantly. He seemed to be walking and stopping frequently.

"Now we have to go see General Kraft and Her Majesty the Queen, Pylos."

"I know. Kraft and Elizabeth are waiting for us. Now, right now."

Pylos nodded and indeed became more alert.

"Is it serious, Pylos? Has some great treasure been stolen?"

Tang Zixu had no interest in magic. What had been lost to make Pylos in a trance?

It seems like, sad?

Why should Pylos, as a private individual, be saddened by the theft of the treasures of the Royal Museum?
Tang Zixu didn't understand and didn't comprehend. She could only emphasize that they were going to meet the general and the queen now so that Pylos would cheer up so as not to lose his dignity as a knight.

"a lot of……"

Pylos was a little surprised that Tang Zixu would ask this.

"But... I don't know whether it's very powerful or not. Not all treasures belong to the nature of [Word Spirit]. They have to be divided into different levels... Maybe it depends on each person's needs."

When Pylos became serious, Tang Zixu seemed to have lost interest in the treasure and said something casually, but Pylos did not hear it clearly.

He asked again, but she didn't answer.

Pylos felt that Tang Zixu was even more confusing than Tang Zilong. He did not quite understand it for a moment. The soldiers behind him also followed him, and he quickened his pace.

However, Tang Zilong was standing with Skarner not far away, and they had a rare conversation - Tang Zilong kept mocking Skarner for not accepting the invitation and being forced to stand at the door and wait, and he was grinning from ear to ear with smugness.

When he saw Pylos appear, he kept waving and saying here and here. Then, when he saw his sister behind Pylos, he immediately stopped waving and looked sullen, like an emotionless machine.

Just as Polos was about to wave to Tang Zilong, he saw Tang Zilong immediately put down his hand, and he became more determined. Tang Zixu's younger brother Tang Zilong was also a little puzzled.
