Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

Suddenly I felt that the road had become wider.

In that case, I will change my strategy... If you can't resist, then join. I will do my best to please this family, so that they will gradually develop feelings for me and regard me as a friend and family member!

Maybe one day when you are in a good mood, you will let me go free!

What's more, I am now a high-end doll with exquisite workmanship and loved by everyone. Who wouldn't be confused when seeing me?

We must take advantage of this!

"Miss Isabella, after you pass through this passage ahead, please turn left." Roland mumbled, his voice even more childish than Meimei's, and spoke in a particularly artificial tone. "Hehe, I haven't left home in a long time. I feel so happy~"

Isabella frowned.

"Can you please speak properly? You're giving me goosebumps!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll talk to you nicely!" Roland shuddered and quickly stopped talking. "Well, what tone do you want to hear? An innocent girl or a mature older sister? I can learn both!"

"What a mess... By the way, you were supposed to be a man, right?"

"Yes, my original voice is very different from now." Roland's glass eyes revealed a hint of melancholy. "Back then, people said my voice was very neutral and androgynous, much more masculine than it is now!"

"Are you sure you were really a man before?" Isabella complained.

"This……"

Roland wanted to protest, thinking, "What's the point of saying 'in the past'? I'm still a man now!" But considering his own strategic approach, he held back and rubbed his hands together, saying flatteringly:

"You decide, Miss Isabella. I can do anything!"

……

After rushing through the darkness underground for several hours, the group came to an exceptionally spacious and bright space.

Before my eyes is a shimmering underground lake.

The light here does not come from above, but from underwater.

There are clusters of plants emitting fluorescent green light in the lake. The light they emit, after being refracted by the lake water, looks particularly dazzling.

"Noctilucent Water Grass." Lor sensed the spiritual energy emanating from the plants and judged, "A kind of extraordinary material with some value. If I remember correctly, one plant should be able to sell for fifty to eighty silver coins..."

"As expected of an exorcist from the church, you recognized it right away!" Roland the puppet quickly flattered him. "There's so much luminous aquatic weeds here it's almost a disaster. If we could find a way to harvest them, it would be enough to make us rich!"

"But there are hidden dangers in this lake."

Lor narrowed his eyes slightly and observed carefully for a moment. Sure enough, he saw many black shadows swimming among the water plants.

He picked up the cross on his chest, such as a little spiritual power.

Then, the cross began to vibrate endlessly... Judging from the frequency and amplitude, there were probably more than ten mid-level extraordinary creatures living underwater!

At the same time, Meimei curiously lay down by the water and put her delicate little hands into the water.

"Ouch!"

The little girl grabbed a strange-looking fish from the water, emitting a faint spiritual power. Then she swallowed, her golden eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Meimei, don't eat weird things, or you'll get an upset stomach!" Isabella quickly warned. "Be good, if you're hungry, let Lor make us a feast when we get home, okay? Only good children can eat this!"

“A feast…”

Meimei hesitated for a while, but finally decided to listen to her sister Isabella and throw the strange-looking fish back into the water.

"Hehe, my Meimei is the best." Isabella caressed the little girl's head lovingly, then looked at Lor, "Did you hear that, my dear? We're going to have a big meal when we get back! We're going to have almond cake, fruit pudding, butter biscuits, and... honey-baked meat!"

Hey, miss, this is what you want to eat, right?

Lor sighed inwardly and replied:

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. Do you still want me to feed you?"

"It's so embarrassing in front of this child..." Isabella said shyly, "No, but if you insist, it's not impossible..."

"I'm not really insisting." Lor said with a smile, "Since the young lady is so resistant, then forget it."

"You say forget it? No way!" Isabella said, half embarrassed, half annoyed. "When I'm in a good mood, it's your duty as a family member to feed me! Don't shirk your responsibility!"

……

According to Roland, this underground lake is directly beneath the city of Palmer.

In addition, before setting off, Lor and Isabella made a special trip to the church and used hypnosis to ask the girl named Leah for the route to the "Dragon Cemetery".

At that time, she also mentioned this underground lake.

"In other words, the two routes connect here... If you go north from this place, you can reach the dragon ruins." Lor looked towards the other side of the lake.

He estimated the remaining distance and time in his mind.

It is about three o'clock in the morning. Judging from the current progress, we will reach our final destination in two hours... Well, if we can arrive before the Duke of Campbury and Lady Windsor, and if there are no problems on the road, we should be able to get home by tomorrow evening.

Everything has been going smoothly so far, but this trip is taking longer than originally expected.

Fortunately, when I went to "deliver midnight snacks" yesterday, I asked the captain for a day off.

Although the current situation is special and there are several people in the church who reported the case and need close protection, Lor had just finished two days of continuous duty, so it is understandable that he asked for leave.

"Let's go, we're almost at the finish line."

48. The seal is opened

It took some time to walk north from the underground lake.

Scattered on the ground, some white, broken bones began to appear.

Most of these corpses were half-buried in the soil. Among the exposed parts, one could barely make out the long, winding spine, the slender wing bones, and the terrifying head with two horns...

keel!

Obviously, this is the destination.

Calling this place a "cemetery" is quite worthy of its name.

The further they went, the more bones they saw. In just a few minutes, they had seen no less than ten remains, but most of them were in pieces and none of them were complete.

"Woo..."

Meimei, held in Lor's arms, made sounds like a frightened little animal, her tiny body trembling. She must have realized that the terrifying corpses around her were all from her own kind.

Lor freed one hand and patted the little girl's back to comfort her.

"It's just bones, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

At the same time, Isabella, who was walking in front, said indifferently, then raised her foot and lightly kicked a skeleton in front of her.

These dragon bones, who knew how long they had been lying in the dark, had long since become brittle. With one kick, she heard a crashing sound, and the entire skeleton collapsed, shattering into countless fragments!

The sound was amplified by layers of echoes in this underground cave, making the listeners feel creepy.

"Miss... that kick cost us a lot of money." After the echo gradually died down, Luo Er said with some distress, "On the black market, a whole dragon bone is very valuable, but fragments are much less valuable... the price difference is probably five or six times!"

"What does it matter?" Isabella curled her lips. "There are so many bones here anyway, what's the harm in breaking some of them? Besides, we're here for the treasure house, not to move bones!"

She was right.

Although dragon bones are indeed valuable, they are large, heavy, and difficult to sell.

There was no way Miss Isabella would help with the rough work, and Lor's ability to carry things alone was very limited, so he could only pick up things of relatively higher value and take them away.

After all, you only get one chance.

My colleagues at the diocesan headquarters have already started to take action. If nothing unexpected happens, this place will soon be controlled by the church, and there will be no chance to come back in the future.

...I hope the dragon clan’s treasure house is really as the legend says, filled with gold, silver, jewelry and extraordinary items.

"Hurry up, the treasure house is right before our eyes!"

Isabella urged:

"I read in a book before that dragons are all money-loving. Most of them spend their entire lives collecting wealth, and when they die, they have to look at their treasures to die in peace... Look, the heads of these dragon remains are all facing the same direction, so the treasure house must be just ahead! Hehe, it must be filled with gold coins!"

"gold!"

Hearing this word, Meimei suddenly became energetic, her eyes sparkling.

He is indeed a natural money-grubber.

Lor thought with a wry smile, quickening his pace to catch up with Isabella.

What is certain is that the Duke of Canbury and Lady Windsor have not arrived yet. Otherwise, with Isabella's keen sense, she would not have missed them.

We rushed all the way and finally arrived first.

Lor felt more at ease, so he decided to take a slight risk and use magic to create some light so that he could see a wider range. However, it didn't need to be too bright, after all, he and Isabella both had excellent night vision, and with just a little light, they could see a long distance.

...The huge dragon bones were scattered all over the place, like a forest of bones.

To be honest, this scene was really shocking.

These behemoths were once extraordinary creatures that soared into the sky and dominated the world, but now only their broken skeletons are left, buried deep underground... While Lor sighed, he couldn't help but feel awe.

How powerful must the existence be to be able to exterminate them all?

Besides, he suddenly thought of another strange thing.

Theoretically, all beings above the mid-level will form relics formed by extraordinary power after death. Some are made of special materials containing powerful spiritual energy, while others are items with special effects...

For example, the "Flowing Light" held by Lor is the condensed form of extraordinary power left behind by a high-level sage in the church after his death.

Among these dragon skeletons in front of us, there should be quite a few who had intermediate or above strength when they were alive, right?

So, where did their remains go?

Lor couldn't help but feel puzzled.

At the same time, Isabella leaped up and landed lightly on the top of an extremely large skeleton. With the help of the faint light created by Lor, she looked around.

"That's strange... I don't see any place like the entrance to the treasure house?" she muttered softly.

It is true that all the skeletons are facing the same direction.

But at the end of this direction, there is only a bare stone wall... However, this stone wall is too flat and does not seem to be naturally formed.

Lor took Meimei's hand and moved closer, running his hand across the surface of the stone wall.

"There's something fishy about this wall."

He frowned slightly:

"There are many regular gaps in it, it feels like it was artificially built with many stones... Moreover, when I get close, I can faintly sense a faint spiritual power. It must be some kind of mechanism... Hmm, should we split up and look for it?"

"Alright."

Isabella nodded, jumped down from the dragon skeleton, and then casually threw the Roland doll she was holding to Lor, then turned around and hugged Meimei:

"I want to team up with Meimei! It just so happens that I'm starting to find that weird-looking doll a bit annoying..."

Hey!

How do I look weird? I'm obviously very cute!

Also, I don’t care about “only”!

Roland roared in his heart.

"Since the young lady has spoken, I have no objection." Lor shrugged. "But to be on the safe side, let's activate 'Sense Sharing' first. In case anything happens, we can know each other's status in time."

……

So, Lor and Isabella split into two groups and explored in two directions along the wall.

"Hiss... I always feel that this place is creepy..."

The doll Roland followed closely behind Lor, his little hands tightly grasping Lor's trouser legs, almost hugging him directly on his thighs:

"Lor... no, Mr. Lor! If anything really happens, you must protect me. I promise to work harder and clean the floor like a mirror every day!"

Lor ignored it, thinking about another question in his mind.

The seal outside the Dragon Clan's treasury can only be opened by a member of the same clan, or a transcendent being of "dragon" origin... If there is anything in common between the two, it should be the attribute of spiritual power...

At this moment, he heard Isabella's exclamation:

"Hey, Lor! There are some very suspicious words carved on the wall here... Hmm, it seems to be the ancient dragon language, I can't understand it..."

Through the sensory sharing mechanism, Lor also saw the words clearly.
