The blue phantom of the pirate king

A little flame shone in the darkness, and the candle burned slowly, bringing a glimmer of light to the dark and silent tunnel.

This candle was originally on the carriage, which saved Harut a lot of effort in searching again.

Looking around, there are many spider webs and traces of gravel in this tunnel. It is obvious that no one has entered here for many years.

The candle was still burning vigorously, and Harut was not worried about the oxygen problem.

"Speaking of which, this tunnel is stronger than expected. After so many years, it's only broken."

At this moment, Harut thought of the catacombs in Alabasta. Do all royal families like to dig holes near the capital?

Well, that's quite possible.

Thinking of this, Harut nodded secretly. How could the royal family have no secrets? Maybe this country hides news of ancient weapons or something.

However, Harut also knew that this was just his own wild imagination.

Ophelia moved forward slowly, holding the candlestick firmly in her hand, with a calm expression on her face.

However, her heart is not what she appears to be.

She didn't know the details of the authenticity.

Yes, she just remembered the approximate route.

But she understood that she had to go through this route once and for all.

This is where your value lies.

The candlelight was flickering, and the darkness was like a monster, baring its teeth and claws. In this confined space, a sense of tension slowly surged into my heart.

This is an instinctive fear.

She tried to think about other things, trying to distract herself.

Suddenly, a huge force grabbed her right arm, which made her almost cry out, but the familiar body temperature made her calm down instantly.

"What's wrong"

She subconsciously lowered her voice.

"We've walked about three kilometers. Even if we turned a few corners, we should be in the city now." Harut didn't directly answer Ophelia's question.

"Yes, Your Excellency, we will soon reach one of the exits as long as we walk a little longer." Ophelia didn't understand why Harut suddenly mentioned this, but just perfunctory him.

"This tunnel is not simple."

Harut smiled, tapped his finger on the wall and said, "It's not just a passage, but a complex underground system."

""

Ophelia froze for a moment: "Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

Suddenly, an unreliable thought came to her mind. Could it be too exaggerated that this man can "see clearly" the authenticity?

No, no, if the other party is a capable person, this is not impossible.

Harut obviously understood the noble lady's thoughts, shook his head and said, "I'm not a capable person, I just checked the tunnel through some special means."

Although his knowledge-colored arrogance is strong, he can't directly "see" inanimate objects. However, even if he doesn't have the knowledge-colored arrogance to perceive inanimate objects, he is not far behind in perception.

Just now, he roughly judged the length and size of the tunnel through the echo.

This is not a simple matter, but it is not impossible for him who has mastered "Life Return" for almost two years.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

"Now, someone is in the tunnel, be careful." Harut narrowed his eyes slightly, looking into the darkness, as if he wanted to see through it.

"Someone is here" Ophelia was slightly taken aback, who would come here for nothing? Besides, this is not an existence that ordinary people can know

She became vigilant in an instant, and subconsciously covered part of the candlelight with her left hand: "Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

She wisely refrained from giving her opinion directly, but

Let the other person make up his mind.

"Don't be too nervous, the other party is still about a kilometer away from us. Well, if you are not afraid, you can turn off the lights and go. I think they can't finish talking in a while." Harut said slowly.

Darkness is not something insurmountable for a knowledgeable domineering master like him. To put it bluntly, knowledge-based domineering is the sublimation of perception. If a knowledgeable domineering master wants to, it is not difficult to improve the other five senses.

Just like Fujitora, he is blind, but it has little impact on daily life and combat.

"One kilometer." Ophelia whispered.

The distance of one kilometer is not long. Although the other party did not notice them because the tunnels are not all straight lines, if the candlelight is always on, the other party will definitely notice them.

etc.

Ophelia suddenly realized something.

If you are not afraid, you can turn off the lights.

We can't finish talking for a while.

it means he's going to move on

he is not afraid of being found

No, since he didn't break in, it means that he didn't want to expose himself too early, that is to say, he was confident that he would not be discovered or that they were no longer on the same tunnel.

possible.

But what do they talk about in a place like this?

Ophelia clenched the candlestick tightly, her palms were sweating nervously. She realized that if the mysterious masked man beside her was telling the truth, then this hidden conversation might have an impact on her. conversations in this country for some time to come.

Then

what should she do

Taking a deep breath, Ophelia calmed herself down.Trying to keep calm: "Your Excellency, if you turn off the lights, you won't be discovered by the other party"

"As long as it doesn't make a big noise, it should be fine."

Harut gently shook the candlestick in his hand.

puff.

The flame was extinguished by the airflow, but none of the melted wax fell on Harut's hand. This scene made Ophelia's eyes straighten.

this control

It must be too foul

Where did the strong man come from?

Thinking in her heart, Ophelia stepped forward, gently took Harut's arm, and blew out the candle in her hand at the same time.

The world suddenly plunged into darkness.

silence.

dark.

Repressed.

A bead of sweat broke out on Ophelia's forehead.

Are you a little reckless?

Feeling the heat from his arm, he tilted his head slightly. Even in the dark, he could still feel the tight body of the other party.

For ordinary people, this kind of darkness is still too terrifying.

Although Harut is now so strong that he can be called a monster, he can still understand the other party's thoughts. After all, he was also a weak chicken three or four years ago.

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing weird will come over."

Harut comforted the other party.

This is a tunnel that is not necessarily used once in tens or hundreds of years.

Naturally, it can't be clean here.

There are many spiders, insects, and even unknown snakes here. It is not a miracle that they did not encounter them along the way, but that Harut dealt with them secretly.

"Oh."

In a low voice, Ophelia felt a sense of peace in her heart inexplicably.

this man

Very strong
