743 Backstab (1)
It was actually not difficult to find the place where the Northern Dark Ark was stored.
Before the Armored Troll Queen truly became the Queen, Anduin Gold was also a prince at that time, so he naturally lived in the Royal Court since he was young.
In addition, beside him was an old housekeeper who had lived for countless years and had been following the Anduin family since the birth of the Armored Troll Court, Alfred.
They all had a considerable understanding of this largest, strongest, and most luxurious city in the Prosperous Ox Continent.
!!
Although there were some important secret places that they could not enter casually, there were not many places that could hide such a huge ark. One could roughly guess.
Even without the internal space, the ark was already extremely huge.
It could be said to be even larger than the entire royal territory.
Therefore, no secret room or warehouse could store it.
The Northern Dark Ark was now under his feet, or rather, buried under the entire royal territory.
In the Royal Court, there were only a few ancient tunnels connected to it.
According to the records, ever since the ark could not fly, descendants had tried to use it. The largest attempt was to use the internal space to build a huge underground farm.
If he could completely use the space inside, it was enough to satisfy the needs of all the citizens of the Armored Troll Court.
However, after losing the powerful “awakening” ability, the internal space of the Northern Underworld Ark was completely separated from the outside world.
He had also lost the ability to interact with the outside world.
Due to the fact that there was no sunlight all year round, plants could not grow. It even caused the humans living inside to be very prone to illnesses and stunted development.
To the Armored Trolls, not only did they need to spend a huge amount of effort to maintain it, but the food produced was also not delicious. Naturally, it became useless.
Later on, it was slowly abandoned.
Most of the original main passageways had already been completely sealed, leaving only one passageway that could still be entered and exited.
They were really rich and imposing, wasting natural resources.
“Alfred, how many years have you been with the Anduin family?”
After taking advantage of the situation to rob the Royal Court’s treasure vault, Anduin Gold walked openly in the palace with his hands behind his back.
It was a place that he could not step into with his status.
As if the familiar environment reminded her of the past, she asked the old housekeeper beside her.
The housekeeper, Alfred, held a brand new Prime Minister robe in his hand and followed respectfully beside the Grand Duke.
His master, the Golden Duke, had just squeezed out the Prime Minister and he had already prepared decent clothes.
It could be said that he sat very well in the position of housekeeper.
“Lord, I can’t remember clearly anymore.”
“Perhaps it’s been eight thousand years.”
“But now, I am only a housekeeper of the Gold Duchy.”
The housekeeper expressed his loyalty.
He could recognize his identity very well. Since he was already the personal housekeeper, he had to prioritize the Grand Duke. As for the others, be it the Anduin family or the entire Armored Troll Court, they no longer had much to do with him.
This could be seen from his brazen attack on the Royal Court guards.
No one disliked loyal people.
The Golden Duke nodded and entered with the housekeeper.
All the guards they met on the way bowed.
Originally, a large number of powerful guards that covered the interior of the Royal Court had been sent out by Jiang Li with the excuse of protecting the royal territory.
He wanted them to carry out some of the most dangerous missions.
They also left behind their excellent equipment for the people of the Golden Duke’s mansion to wear and temporarily form a royal guard.
Therefore, almost everyone in the entire royal territory was his, Anduin Gold’s, people. They would not be stopped from doing anything.
Of course, once the Queen returned, she would definitely be furious and settle the score with him. However, why would Jiang Li care about this?
In the end, they stopped in a dungeon deep in the Royal Court.
There were many passageways that led to the flying ship.
However, as the underground farm plan failed, the value of the underground space decreased and was finally abandoned by the royal family.
Only such a passage was left to deal with some prisoners of low value.
In the depths of the dungeon, they saw a huge hole firmly locked by chains and iron doors. The bottom was bottomless.
He took the key from the newly replaced prison guard and opened it. A gust of evil wind immediately surged out.
The airflow continued for a long time without stabilizing. It could be seen how large the space below was.
He casually picked up a rock and threw it down.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths. In the end, Jiang Li did not hear the sound of the rock landing.
In this dungeon, if there were mortals who did not want to see them again, as long as they were thrown into this well, they would never come out again.
“Lord, please let me scout the way first!”
Housekeeper Alfred wanted to take the risk personally.
Such loyalty was commendable.
However, the Golden Duke did not do that.
He used the spiritual pearl in his hand to open all the seals in the passageway below and let the guards above guard the well.
He jumped down first.
Alfred followed closely behind.
This passageway was very long. They did not slow down in the air. Even so, it took them a long time to see a little fluorescent light below.
