My girlfriend is a Kryptonian
Chapter 41 The Trembling Mother Box (Additional chapters for recommended votes)
After the female guard packed up and left the small dark room, Xinian lay alone on the relatively clean bed, holding his aunt's starlight flying crown tightly in his arms, and the swaying and cold firelight fell on him.
The crown, of course, could not be returned. After all, returning it would be a slap in the face of Aunt Diana.
However, this crown is too heavy.
In all aspects, it is the most precious thing in the world and cannot be measured by value.
"Can I bear it?"
Xinian lay on the bed for a long time, and finally sighed, put the crown back on his head, got up and walked out of the room.
Even if he didn't have claustrophobia, it was too stuffy here, and he wanted to go out for a breath.
However, Xinian was halfway to the door when he recalled that the female general Antiope had ordered the female guards on duty at the door not to let him walk around.
Now, he can fully understand why Antiope's attitude towards him is so bad.
If someone wants to take advantage of Aunt Diana, Xi Nian's attitude will definitely be a hundred times worse! And if he knew in advance the meaning behind the crown held by his aunt, Xi Nian would never let her wear it on her head!
...
If he forced to go out for a walk as His Highness, the female guard would not dare to stop him, but Xi Nian did not want to embarrass the female guard, so he turned back in the corridor by himself.
Back to his door.
Xi Nian suddenly stopped and looked at the depths of the corridor inside the ancient building. There was some light at the end, and there was also a subtle wind coming through the dark corridor.
Since you are not allowed to walk around outside, it doesn't matter if you walk inside, right?
Xi Nian shrugged.
Besides, the female guard just said that as long as you don't take the objects inside out, there will be no problem.
Xi Nian didn't think too much, and didn't stop, and continued to walk deeper into the ancient building.
"This wall is really thick..." The further Xi Nian walked into the corridor, the more surprised he felt.
This ancient circular building, except for the dark room on duty just now, has almost no other rooms. All of them are solid brick walls, and there is only a not very spacious corridor leading to the inside.
Can you imagine it?
From the design style, this circular building is like a closed Poké Ball. As long as the corridor is closed, no one can get out from it.
"Perhaps, only the three-in-one state can force its way out when trapped inside..." Xi Nian pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered the Yuan Devourer. My aunt said it was not easy to bring it to Paradise Island, so she entrusted it to a friend who had experience in raising pets to take care of it for a few days.
That friend seemed to be called "Barry Allen"?
Xi Nian quickly came to the deepest part of the building. The moment he walked out of the corridor, the scene in front of him became clear!
Inside, it was a very spacious retro hall.
The hall was engraved with strange stone murals and ancient Greek characters around it, as if recording a long and unknown history of the old gods. There was light, cool breeze, and air seeping in from the gaps between the star-shaped metal fences on the top floor of the hall. Weak beams of light that were barely visible from the dust shone down and delicately fell on the stone altar in the middle of the main hall of the ancient building.
Above the two-meter-high stone altar, there was a mysterious cube-shaped object, like a rusty metal box.
The iron box, I don’t know how long it has been placed here, the faint light, the floating dust, and even the years, have all been quietly sinking beside it.
“This is what has been guarded for more than a thousand years?” Xi Nian was stunned for a moment.
He finally knew why no one could move it for a thousand years.
Not to mention that Paradise Island has its own Zeus barrier and is guarded by Amazonians on duty, just for its pitiful appearance -
Who wants this broken box?
Of course, maybe it is a hidden artifact.
Xi Nian did not intend to study it. He stood in front of the stone altar and began to do the middle school student chest-lifting exercise.
He took a deep breath. The air in the deepest main hall was connected to the outside world, and Xi Nian felt a lot more comfortable.
But, suddenly!
His peripheral vision seemed to see something.
Xi Nian stopped moving, and his eyes fell on the iron box on the top of the stone altar in surprise.
Just now.
Did that thing move?
...
Paradise Island, Amazon Palace.
The palace is magnificent, and any decoration inside, including the golden chairs and beaded curtains that are still in use, are collectors' collections.
"Mother." Diana walked into the palace and squatted on a chair.
On the golden chair, a dignified woman who looked a bit like Diana, with a face and body that did not look old, and wearing a golden crown - Amazon Queen Hippolyta, could not help but show an excited and sincere smile.
Hippolyta reached forward and gently touched Diana's face with her palm: "Child, you suffered alone outside."
"No." Diana shook her head gently, grabbed her mother's hand and said: "Mother, I'm fine and can take care of myself."
"Of course I know. After all, you are the only daughter of my Amazon Queen!" Hippolyta smiled and nodded, then suddenly paused and looked at Diana's forehead: "Diana, your starlight flying crown?"
"Mother, I was just about to tell you this. I didn't come back alone this time."
Diana smiled happily, and said very seriously and proudly: "I gave it to a person, a human being!"
...
Ancient building, in the main hall.
Xinian looked at the iron box in a daze. Didn't the female guard just say that this thing hadn't moved for a thousand years?
Why did he see the iron box shaking slightly just now? !
Blurred eyes, did he see it wrong?
This possibility cannot be ruled out.
Xinian just glanced at it with his peripheral vision, and it is very likely that the interference of light and shadow made him mistakenly think that the box moved.
To confirm.
Xinian held his breath and approached the stone altar.
When he was close to three meters, Xinian could see more clearly that the iron box on the stone altar had strange patterns, like stars and the sun, and a very thick layer of dust accumulated on the surface of the box.
The beam of light on the dome of the building bathed him.
Xinian subconsciously reached out to the iron box on the stone altar, trying to wipe off the dust on the surface of the box.
Fingers, approaching little by little.
The moment before the fingertips were about to touch the box, Xinian hurriedly retracted his hand.
What are you doing? It's not a good habit to touch other people's things!
However
Looking at the dust on the box, Xi Nian also confirmed that he had indeed seen it wrong just now - if the box really shook, the dust on it would definitely be shaken off.
"Forget it, let's go back."
Xi Nian gave up exploring the broken box and turned to walk out of the main hall of the building.
...
Xi Nian didn't find it.
As soon as he walked out of the main hall and entered the corridor.
The iron box placed on the stone altar trembled slightly for some unknown reason, shaking off a lot of dust. The dust that fell off disappeared strangely in the space in the hall before it fell to the ground.
The box seemed to be trembling with its own life!
As if it was afraid and afraid of something.
And this trembling soon fell back into the calmness that had been maintained for thousands of years.
It continued to lie dormant, waiting for an opportunity!
