Chapter 226 Neptune Palace

After leaving the moon pool, Linde quickly crossed the street, walked to the waterside, boarded a prepared boat, and directly controlled the boat through telekinesis like a speedboat to drive towards the bottom of the island where the Neptune Palace was located.

The island where the Neptune Palace is located is located in the northeast corner of Braavos. The islands are full of steep cliffs and are not suitable for building any buildings.

But the builders of the Neptune Palace used these steep cliffs to add the foundations of the Neptune Palace to them, and built the Neptune Palace into a palace high in the sky.

The entire palace is independent on the island, with only two arch bridges connected to the Iron Treasury on the south side.

If ordinary people want to reach the Neptune Palace, they must first pass through the tight defenses of the Iron Treasury guards, pass through the layers of traps in the Iron Treasury, reach the high-altitude stone bridge, and then pass through the sentry guards in the middle of the stone bridge to reach the front square of the Neptune Palace, where there are elite soldiers Guarded by the Neptune Guard formed.

Even if the Neptune Guard's inspection is successfully passed, the Neptune Palace Garden behind is still a difficulty, because there are a large number of rare birds and animals from all over the world, most of which are very dangerous and deadly, such as the Manticore.

Only after passing so many checkpoints can you reach Neptune's residence, which is located on the cliff on the north side of Neptune's Palace. It is also the highest place in Braavos. From here, you can not only see the entire Braavos, but also Seeing the sea outside Braavos, this is also the best lookout during the war.

Lind drove the boat to the water below the viewing platform of the Sea King Palace. He looked up at the steep peaks and straight foundation stones in front of him. He directly activated the power of the unknown king's runes to form the storm dragon runes, forming a whirlwind. Lifting him, he flew into the air and rushed towards the observation deck.

Soon, he flew to the lower edge of the observation deck and landed on a gargoyle gargoyle.

Standing on top of the gargoyle, Linde stood up straight, stuck his head out, and looked at the situation inside through the gap in the stone railing at the edge of the observation deck.

I saw about seven or eight people guarding Neptune's house. Because the location guarded was the cliff on the north side that everyone thought was impossible for anyone to climb up, the Neptune guards guarding it were not particularly attentive.

In addition to the Neptune Guards who guard fixed positions, there are also patrol teams composed of dozens of Neptune Guards. From time to time, they will walk out of the corridor leading to Neptune's residence to patrol here and then go back.

Linde observed for a while, and after confirming the pattern of patrols and the status of the guards, he took out a small ball sealed with wax from his waist pocket, crushed it, and the powder wrapped in the small ball spread out instantly. .

It's just that these powders scattered in the air were loose but not messy under the influence of the breeze created by Linde, and under his control, they merged into the breeze and moved towards the guards stationed at fixed positions and the patrol who had just walked out of the corridor. The team swept over.

When the medicinal powder was swept over these people, they just felt the smell around them was a little strange, and did not realize that they had been plotted. It was not until the patrol team reached near Linde that the medicinal effect took effect, one by one. He fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

Linde turned over and jumped onto the platform, then followed the map of Neptune Palace given by Jia Kun and walked towards Neptune's residence. As he walked forward, he crushed the sleeping pill powder balls and let them join the breeze he controlled. , as he continues to move forward.

In the Neptune Palace, the Neptune Guards fell one by one like wooden men. Some people noticed something was wrong, but had no time to react. Others seemed to have received some kind of training and had a certain degree of drug resistance, but the effect of this drug resistance was It wasn't particularly strong, it just lasted a little longer than the others and then passed out.

It was not until Linde arrived outside Neptune's study that he did not continue to use the sleeping powder, but moved the powder to the garden in front of Neptune's palace.

Neptune is in the study at the moment. He has noticed the unusual movement outside, and there are more than a dozen personal guards including Quiro protecting him in the study.

The main reason why Linde did not continue to use the medicinal powder was because after the medicinal powder was delivered to the study, Neptune would definitely be infected. With the effect of the medicinal powder, even if he threw Neptune into the water, he would not wake up. Facing a sleeping Neptune, he couldn't ask anything.

Through the sound of breathing, Linde judged how many people were in the study and their approximate locations. Then Linde stepped forward and directly pushed the study door open.

It is said to be a study room, but in fact it is a small library. Rows of bookshelves are neatly placed in concentric circles in the room. In the middle of the room are several chairs and desks. Seems a bit crude.

At this moment, Neptune was standing next to the desk, with the chief swordsman Quero standing in front of him, and a dozen water dancer masters guarding the surroundings. The long swords were all unsheathed and held tightly in their hands.

When they saw Linde pushing open the door and walking in, they all looked nervous because they all knew who it was.

"Sea King Ferrego Antarian." Lind looked at the fat middle-aged man in front of him, with his hands covered with rings.

"The Chosen One, Lind Terra." Ferrego also revealed Lind's identity.

Linde looked at the guards around him and said: "Put away your weapons! I am not your enemy. If I had done anything, you would be dead by now. I am not threatening you, I am just stating a fact. "

As he said that, he looked at Ferrego who was pretending to be calm and said: "I don't want to meet you in this way. Originally, I just came to meet you quietly without disturbing anyone, but in the end you wanted to do it in a big way. I was exposed and sent people to hunt me down. I really don’t know what you were thinking. You forced me to use some extraordinary means to see you. Are you satisfied?”

Ferrego couldn't help but want to refute when he heard Lind's teaching words, but he didn't know how to refute, because what Lind said was not wrong, and everything was brought about by him.

Then, Linde said very directly: "I'm here for the magic armor in your hand."

"I know." Ferrege also said, "I knew it the moment I bought the armor."

"Then you still buy it?" Linde asked directly.

Ferrege was speechless by these words.

Linde said without any nonsense, "Take me to your treasure house! Let's end this quickly. I feel a little homesick."

Lind's tone made Ferrego very dissatisfied. From the moment he became Sea King, no one dared to speak to him in such an almost commanding tone.

However, he was unable to make any rebuttal move, because as Linde said, even if he was protected by so many powerful guards, he did not have any sense of security.

"Put away your weapons!" Ferrege took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and then ordered: "Quero, follow me, the others stay here."

After saying that, he walked out from the protection of the guards. Quero immediately followed him quickly. When he passed by Linde, he couldn't help but look at Linde and put his hand on the scimitar at his waist. It looked like he wanted to test whether he could kill Linde with one blow at such a close distance.

And Quiro's hidden movements were completely seen by Linde. He deliberately exposed the vital parts of his body without any care, as if he was defenseless.

In the end, Quiro did not dare to take action, not because he saw through Linde's disguise, but because if he took action, it would be easy to succeed, but if he failed, he would implicate Neptune. This is not the behavior a qualified guard should do.

The group entered through a secret door in a room, passed through a spacious spiral staircase, and arrived at the underground palace of the Neptune Palace.

When entering the palace, they saw about fifty Neptune guards stationed in the palace with full plate armor and long axes guarding the palace. After seeing Ferrego coming in, they all saluted Ferret in unison.

At this time, Ferrege turned his head thoughtfully and looked at Linde behind him, as if he was considering whether these people could capture Linde now.

In the end, he gave up because he thought of the poison that Lind used to knock down his guards. If Lind still had that poison in his hands, let alone fifty guards with full plate armor, even one hundred would be dead. A thousand names may not be enough for him to bring down.

At this moment, he completely gave up on looking for a chance to counterattack, and decided to take Linde to the Neptune Treasure House honestly.

Soon Ferrego walked through the underground palace and arrived at the other end.

This is a huge bronze door, about four meters high and six meters wide. There are several blind men sitting on both sides of the door. Next to the blind man is a wheel-shaped push rod similar to a mill turntable.

Ferrege walked to the door, took out a hexagonal box from his arms, and then turned some knobs on the box. Some tooth tips protruded from the box, forming an irregular key tooth.

Then, we saw him walking to the door and inserting the box into the keyhole on the door. After inserting each tooth tip, he would turn the knob at different degrees until all the gears on the box were inserted into the keyhole.

After inserting the key, Ferrege knocked on the bell on the bronze door and took a few steps back.

When the blind people on both sides heard the bell, they stood up one after another, reached out and grasped the wheel-shaped push rod, like a donkey pulling a mill, pushing the turntable to rotate counterclockwise in each direction.

Bursts of mechanical sounds came from the bronze door, and then the heavy bronze door was slowly opened.

The moment he opened the door, the oil lamp made of whale oil lit up instantly under the action of the mechanism, illuminating the entire treasure house. Each display cabinet appeared in Linde's eyes. These display cabinets were filled with various exquisite treasures. , there are porcelain vases from Yi Di's Golden Celestial Dynasty, gemstones and jewelry from Slaver's Bay, etc., as well as a large number of strange and weird antiquities.

These are the wealth accumulated by the Neptunes of the past generations. Each generation of Neptunes will put something in it, but taking it out requires some troublesome procedures, so there are more and more things in the treasure house. In terms of value alone, here The things are not much worse than the wealth in the Iron Bank.

However, after opening the door, everyone except Lind was not attracted by the treasure in front of them, but could not help but shuddered because they felt an extremely cold air coming from the treasure house, and soon It spread throughout the entire underground palace, causing the temperature in the underground palace to instantly reach the freezing point of winter.

They also discovered that Neptune's treasure house seemed to have become a cold storage room. A white cold air filled the treasure house, and a layer of ice condensed on the ground.

"What's going on?" Sea King Ferrego looked at everything in front of him in stunned silence, obviously frightened by this scene.

However, Linde acted very calmly. He could feel the magic power of the frozen dragon rune from this cold breath.

Then, he walked directly into the treasure house and walked towards the location where he felt the magic power.

Behind him, Ferrego saw Lind enter the treasure house first, and couldn't help but glance at the opened bronze door, as if he wanted to do something.

But he finally suppressed the impulse in his heart, because the feeling Linde gave him was too mysterious. He didn't know how many magical methods Linde had yet to use, and he felt that even if he used a bronze gate to guard Lin De If De is imprisoned in the treasure house, Linde will find a way to get out. At that time, he and Linde will probably become mortal enemies, without any room for maneuver.

Therefore, he finally gave up that tempting idea and followed Linde into the treasure house.

While he was still wondering why Linde knew where the magic armor was stored in the treasure house, the three of them had already arrived in front of the magic armor.

At this moment, the magic armor was completely wrapped in a thick layer of ice. Although blocked by the ice, Linde could still see the entire armor clearly.

I saw that, as the rumors said, this set of armor was inlaid with a large number of gems, making it look extremely gorgeous and also extremely vulgar.

Just like the patterns and dragon runes on the armor of the Homeless Knight on the Statue of the Storm God, the patterns and dragon runes on the surface of this armor have also been heavily modified, creating many mistakes and breakpoints, making it lose its In addition to its intended function, it became a kind of decoration, and what really worked for this set of armor was the Valyrian steel plate inlaid on the chest, with a complete frozen dragon rune engraved on it.

Seeing the magic armor like this, Lind immediately understood that Qohor just imitated the armor of a lost knight, and the magic part was learned from the frozen dragon rune necklace he made for the stone giant.

However, the stone giant itself is a magical race, and its body has a certain adjustment effect on magic power. After wearing the frozen dragon rune necklace, it can adjust the frozen magic power in the necklace, so that the necklace is always in a state of magic balance, and will not Produce a strong freezing effect.

However, the craftsmen and wizards of Qohor simply and crudely inlaid the frozen dragon rune necklace directly on the imitation armor. This caused the magic power in the dragon rune necklace to continuously accumulate, eventually forming a cold source.

This situation is just the beginning now. As time goes by, the magic power accumulated by the Frozen Dragon Rune will continue to increase, and the frozen area will become larger and larger, eventually turning the entire underground treasure house into a piece of solid ice. impossible.

However, Lind was not interested at all in what consequences the Frozen Dragon Rune would ultimately lead to. He was now more thinking about where his magic armor was.
