v2 Chapter 576: 3 princesses

In the southern continent, in a village west of the Xingxing Plateau.

The former princess of the Bairan Empire, Bruna, is sitting on both sides of a stone table with "Queen Mystic" Bernadette, each holding a piece of chess and playing backgammon.

Bruna was obviously not Bernadette's opponent, and soon conceded.

"Is there any knack for playing this kind of chess?" Bruna frowned, without any ordinary sense of dignity, and asked blankly at Bernadette.

"No." Bernadette, who wore an old veil and had beautiful chestnut long hair, said flatly.

Bruna didn't believe it, and wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly raised her head and looked into the air, where a figure flew over at a very high speed, and came to the yard where they were in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the woman falling from the air with her brown eyes, she saw that she was black-haired and blue-faced, dressed in a black dress and boots of the same color. She was beautiful, elegant, and full of intellectual beauty.

Bruna raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Isabella, even if you are no longer a princess, you can still pretend like this."

The person here is Edwina's mentor, the former eldest princess of Lemberg, Ms. Isabella.

"Bruna, you are not polite as always." She glanced at Bruna, then cast her gaze on Bernadette, showing a very standard smile, and greeted, "Long time no see, Bernadette ."

Bernadette returned the dress and responded to the greeting, then she turned her eyes lightly, looked at Bruna, and said calmly: "Aunt Bruna, now that Aunt Isabella is here, you can tell me that you are looking for me. Are you here for what?"

"Are you waiting for me? But I'm here to find'Lyon'..." Isabella said slightly confused.

Bruna sneered: "Why don't you use your efficacious premonition to'foresee' it? And Leon is no longer here, it should be in the North Continent by now.

"Do you think it will not foresee that you will come? Obviously, it does not want to see you, and even interferes with your'prophecy'."

Isabella frowned and then recovered her calm, looking at the princess of the Empire Empire in front of him, "Bruna, Roselle is no longer here, and you are meaningless to provoke me."

"But I still don't like you very much." Bruna murmured, then cleared her throat and started talking about business: "I found a tomb of the'Black Emperor' with traces left by Roselle. ...Do you want to see it together?"

"The mausoleum of the'Black Emperor'?" Isabella, who had originally wanted to turn around and leave to chase "Lyon," her eyes lit up, and after a moment of pondering, she asked, "Is it Roselle's or Solomon's."

Bernadette didn't speak, but she just looked at Bruna silently, as if expecting something.

"Look at the coat of arms, it should be Solomon's... but Roselle must have been there, maybe there will be some clues left." Bruna said affirmatively.

"How can I be sure that Russell has been there?" Isabella's tone was still calm, but her eyes were clearly brighter again.

"Because you want to enter that mausoleum now, you need three'Cards of Blasphemy'..." Bruna paused here, and added, "At least three."

"Why do you say that?" Ms. Isabella asked.

"According to my observation...well, coupled with my understanding of Roselle, the mechanism he designed is definitely not that simple. Maybe different combinations of'cards' will bring us to different positions in the tomb...I want To fully explore the magnificent mausoleum, you probably have to collect 22'Cards of Blasphemy'."

As Bruna said, she summoned a necromancer and took out a card from its mouth... The surface of the card was printed with Roselle's face, full of artist temperament, but it was bound by a bandage. Angel image...

This is a "Bound" card!

"This card was left by Roselle to Maria, but it is not a small danger for her to carry the card around, so I have been helping her to keep it." Bruna added.

Seeing this, Isabella hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind, chanting a mantra, performing some kind of "secret technique", then she unbuttoned the collar of her collar, stretched her hand to her chest, and went through it. , And quickly took out a card from it.

The sun with Roselle's face on this card is obviously a "sun" card.

"This is the last time I saw him, he gave it to me..." Isabella said, pursing her lips, and then buttoned her collar.

"I have to say that the secret technique of'stored items' developed by Roselle is really nasty... and you actually learned it! Sure enough, you are just pretending!" Bruna only glanced at that one. The card, it will focus on other aspects.

Isabella squinted at Bruna's chest and said faintly: "People who don't have'capital' can't learn this technique..." Then she ignored her and turned to look at Bernadette.

And hearing this, Bruna's smile was obviously a bit frozen.

Bernadette ignored the smell of gunpowder between the words of the two aunts, and lightly nodded and said: "I have four cards in my hand. They are'Hermit','Wheel of Destiny','Reaper' and'Judger'."

Before leaving the Southern Continent, Jane had already handed over the blasphemy card obtained from the depths of the "Daniel Labyrinth" to Bernadette.

"In this way, we have... Uh, how many combinations are there, and how many places in the mausoleum can we go to?" Bruna wanted to do a mental calculation, but couldn't get the answer for a while.

"C(6,3), 20 kinds, very simple math problems." Isabella said lightly, giving the answer instantly.

Almost at the same time, Bernadette also affirmed: "The result of exhaustion is 20."

"Well, the'zhe' is the way to learn knowledge and to use knowledge, and the'sniffing person' is the way to knowledge itself. The conclusion you draw is definitely correct." Bruna lightly described her "weakness" in mathematics. "I took it, and then continued, "I can take you to take a look at the mausoleum now. As for how to explore, I think you must all have your own ideas, and we will discuss it later."

The two in front of me are a "prophet" and the other is a "master of prophecy". They must be more professional in perceiving danger, breaking restrictions, and using rituals than my own "ferryman", which is why Bruna called them. one.

"Where is that mausoleum?" Bernadette was silent for a few seconds before asking.

"At the junction of the Polar Sea and the Misty Sea."

...

Backlund, steam station.

Jane got off the steam train with luggage and looked around for a while before exclaiming, "Backlund is still the same!"

"You seem to have only been away for more than a month? How could there be any major changes at this point?" The lion crouched at Jane's feet snapped his nose.

The passengers around it passed by ~lightnovelpub.net~ but they turned a blind eye to this beast.

"Take a rest for one night, and then buy a ticket to Jianhai County tomorrow. If nothing else, you should be able to arrive at Yindo on Wednesday." Jane whispered, then distinguished the direction and prepared to go "Bravely Stay at the "Bar" for one night, and come to buy tickets tomorrow morning.

But as soon as one person and one lion walked out of the station, they saw several policemen knock down a man, and all the people who had surrounded him were scattered around. Only a girl wearing long gloves and a man with a big beard stood standing beside him. In the distance, he seemed to be pointing at the arrested man and saying something.

It seems that the police are catching a liar... Jane has a judgment in her heart, and quickly looks back, wanting to quickly walk across this street with the lion.

But when she lowered her head, she found that the lion was no longer by her side. Instead, she didn't know when she came behind the bearded man, snorting the smell.

The bearded man seemed to be aware of something, and looked back, only to see an orange kitten lying on his lap.

He was stunned, then took a piece of meat from the pie in his hand and put it at his feet.
