Chapter 41 The trembling mother box (recommended plus more)
After the female guard cleaned up and went out from the small dark room, Xi Nian was lying alone on the fairly clean bed, clutching her aunt's flying crown of stars in her arms, and the flickering and cold firelight fell on him.
Hua Guan, naturally, it is impossible to return it. After all, refunding is hitting Aunt Diana in the face.
However, this crown is too heavy.
In every respect, it is the most precious thing in the world and cannot be measured by value.
"Can I take it?"
Xi Nian lay on the bed for a long time, finally sighed, put the crown on his head again, got up and walked out of the room.
Even if there is no claustrophobia, it is too stuffy here, and he wants to go out for a breath.
However, Xi Nian had just walked halfway to the door, recalling the previous female general Antiope, who had told the female guard on duty at the door not to let him move around.
Now, he can fully understand why Antiope has such a bad attitude towards himself.
If someone hits Aunt Diana's idea, Xi Nian's attitude will definitely be a hundred times worse! And if you know in advance the meaning behind the aunt's possession of the Huaguan, Xi Nian will never let the aunt wear it on her head!
...
If the female guards were forced to go out as His Highness, the female guards would not dare to stop them, but Xinian didn't want to embarrass the female guards, so she turned around in the corridor by herself.
Go back to your own door.
Xi Nian stopped suddenly and looked into the depths of the inner corridor of the ancient building, where there was a little light at the end, and there was also a subtle wind coming through the dark corridor.
Since it's not allowed to walk around outside, it doesn't matter if you walk inside, right?
Xi Nian shrugged.
What's more, the female guard just said that as long as the objects inside are not taken out, there will be no problem.
Xi Nian didn't think about it too much, didn't stop, and continued to walk deeper into the ancient building.
"This wall is really thick..." The more Xi Nian walked into the corridor, the more surprised he felt.
In this ancient round building, except for his darkroom on duty just now, there are almost no other rooms, all of which are solid brick walls, and there is only a not-so-spacious corridor leading to the interior.
Can you imagine?
In terms of design style, this circular building is like a closed pokeball. As long as the corridor is closed, no one can go out from it.
"Perhaps, there is only a three-in-one state that can forcefully break out while trapped inside..." Xi Nian pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of the Primordial Devouring Beast. My aunt said it was difficult to bring it to Paradise Island, so I entrusted it to A friend who has experience with pets takes care of them for a few days.
That friend, seems to be called "Barry Allen"?
Xi Nian soon came to the deepest part of the building, and the moment he walked out of the corridor, the scene in front of him was bright and cheerful!
Inside, is a very spacious retro hall.
There are bizarre stone frescoes and ancient Greek characters engraved around the hall, which seem to record a long and unknown history of old gods. The star-shaped metal railings on the top floor of the hall have bright light, cool breeze, and air infiltration. A trail of faint light beams with clear dust shone down, subtly falling on the stone altar in the middle of the main hall of the ancient building.

Above the two-meter-high stone altar, there is a cube-shaped mysterious object, like a rusted metal box.
The iron box, don't know how long it has been placed here, the shimmering light, the floating dust, and even the years, all sit and sink beside it.
"This is something that has been guarded for more than a thousand years?" Xi Nian was dumbfounded for a while.
He finally knew why no one could move it for thousands of years.
Not to mention that Paradise Island has its own Zeus enchantment and is guarded by Amazons on duty, it is aimed at its poor appearance——
Who wants this broken box?
Of course, it might be a hidden artifact.
Xi Nian didn't intend to be fancy about it, he stood in front of the stone altar and began to carry out the chest-lifting exercise for middle school students.
Taking a deep breath, the air in the deepest hall communicated with the outside world, and Xi Nian felt a lot more comfortable.
But suddenly!
He seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye.
Xi Nian stopped, and his surprised eyes fell on the iron box on the top of the stone altar.
Just now.
Did that thing move?
...
Paradise Island, Amazon Palace.
The interior of the palace is splendid, and any piece of decoration inside, including the gold seats and bead curtains that are still in use, is a collection that collectors are eager to put on the outside.
"Queen Mother." Diana walked into the palace and squatted down on a seat.
On the golden seat, a dignified woman with a golden crown and a face and body that was somewhat similar to Diana, Hippolyta, the Queen of Amazons, couldn't help showing an excited and sincere smile.
Hippolyta reached forward and gently touched Diana's face with her palm: "Son, you are suffering outside alone."
"No." Diana shook her head gently, grabbed her mother's hand and said, "Mother, I'm fine, I can take care of myself."
"Of course I know. After all, you are the only daughter of my Amazon Queen!" Hippolyta nodded with a smile, then paused suddenly, and looked at Diana's forehead: "Diana, your crown of stars?"
"Mother, I was about to tell you about this. I didn't come back alone this time."
With a happy smile on her face, Diana said very seriously and proudly: "I gave it to a person, a human being!"
...
Ancient building, in the main hall.
Xi Nian looked at the iron box in a daze, didn't the female guard just say that this thing hasn't been touched for thousands of years?
Why, he just saw the iron box shake slightly? !
Dazzling, wrong?
This possibility cannot be ruled out.
Xi Nian just glanced out of the corner of the eye. It was very likely that the interference of light and shadow made him mistakenly think that the box was moving.
To confirm.
With her breath, Xi Nian approached the stone altar.
As it approached three meters, Xi Nian could see it more clearly. The iron box on the stone altar had strange patterns, like stars and the sun. A very thick layer of dust had accumulated on the surface of the box.
The beams of light on the dome of the building bathed him.
Subconsciously, Xi Nian reached out to the iron box on the stone altar, trying to wipe off the dust on the surface of the box.
Fingers, a little closer.
Just before her fingertips were about to touch the box, Xi Nian hurriedly withdrew her hand.
It's not a good habit to mess with other people's things what you are doing!
but.
Looking at the dust on the box, Xi Nian also confirmed that he had indeed read it wrong just now - if the box really shook, the dust on it would definitely be shaken off.
"Forget it, go back."
Xi Nian gave up exploring the broken box, turned around and walked out of the main hall of the building.
...
Xi Nian did not find out.
He just walked out of the main hall on his front feet and entered the corridor.
The iron box placed on the stone altar trembled inexplicably slightly, shaking off a lot of dust. The dust that was shaken off had disappeared into the space in the hall before it fell to the ground.
The box seems to be shivering with an autonomous life!
As if afraid, afraid of something.
And this trembling, soon fell back into the calm that has been maintained for thousands of years.
It continues to dormant, waiting for an opportunity!
