Chapter 818

818 this is a big deal!

Link and John returned to the resting room in the mechanical fortress.

John placed the suitcase in his hand on the table.

With two crisp sounds, the suitcase popped open, revealing the evidence John had found.

Link’s expression changed when he saw the evidence. He met John’s eyes and saw that he was smiling as if saying that he knew everything.

Link picked up the Scarab gold bangle from the leather case. The system immediately notified him of the fusion and absorption, but link ignored it and asked,”Where did you find this thing?”

Link had arranged for many people to visit the Pharaoh’s tombs of various sizes on the wasteland, but they did not find any traces of the Zerg nest among the funerary objects. They only found it at The Desert Prince’s treasure trove. But now, John had found it in the wasteland again. This shocked link. What was even more surprising was that John seemed to know something.

John gulped down a mouthful of water and took out another item from the suitcase. It was a coat in the standard modern style before the day of reckoning, and a photo at the bottom of the suitcase.

“Head of state, you’d better take a look at this first.”

Link took the picture. It was old and yellowed, and some of the colors had faded, but he could still clearly see that in the center of the picture was the bespectacled, gentle-looking Desert Prince holding the scepter in both hands. Beside him were the seven that link had taken revenge on.

The background of the photo was wind howl Castle. From the photo, one could still see the wealth and grace of the former wind howl Castle Palace.

Other than that, link also noticed that The Desert Prince in the image was wearing the same coat John was wearing. This made him even more curious about where these things had come from.

“Alright, can you tell me now?”

John heaved a sigh of relief and began to speak. “After you left, I arranged for the Assassin’s Alliance to spread out and look for any clues about The Desert Prince. Although there was news coming from various places, most of the news was of no value. It was nothing more than a place where the Prince had been to in the past or a place where he had connections with the people around the Prince.

after half a year of searching, there was no useful information. I even wondered if the Prince had changed his identity after escaping like a cicada shedding its shell. However, just as I was about to change my search route, a piece of news from the Assassin’s Alliance caught my attention. A few bounty hunters encountered danger while exploring the catacombs. Only one of them managed to escape and came to the nearby Assassin’s Alliance to rescue them.

“The items that we’ve plundered from the catacombs caught my attention. There were items from the era of the Pharaoh, as well as items from modern civilization. It was obvious that someone had entered this underground cave before. So, after I brought my men to conduct a thorough search, we found these things.”

John had seen the golden bracelet before, and link had used it as an excuse to take it away. Now that he had found the golden bracelet and the clothes that The Desert Prince had once worn, he immediately noticed the problem.

I’ve sent people to carry out a thorough search and appraisal of the catacombs. The final answer is that the final result points to The Desert Prince’s arrival time here. It is very likely that he will arrive a few years before the reckoning.

link furrowed his brows. the nuclear war on the wasteland on the day of reckoning had caused the space outside to be filled with nuclear dust and radiation. if ordinary people were exposed to such an environment for a long time, there would definitely be negative effects. However, at this time, The Desert Prince would not be discovered by anyone. After all, most of the survivors lived underground at this time. Even if there were mutated humans infected by radiation, they were rare.

“Is the conclusion certain?” Asked link.

yes. John nodded heavily. I’ve already sent people to check the clothes and the golden bracelet. They have very high radiation intensity on them. It’s caused by direct exposure to strong radiation. There were only days of reckoning when large-scale nuclear radiation had occurred on the wasteland. “According to his footsteps, The Desert Prince did not come out after entering the catacombs. His footsteps disappeared into the hall in the center of the catacombs.”

With that, it was set in stone.

Link took the coat and activated the title [ wasteland omniscient one ].

suddenly, the images in his mind were like a rapid whirlpool, bringing his consciousness and six senses to the scene at that time.

vaguely, link saw that the wasteland was dark. the nuclear dust in the sky fell like snowflakes, accumulating on the ground.

and in the pouring “snow,” a figure was walking on the desolate gobi.

He wore thick black deerskin military boots, a woolen coat, and a wind-proof and gas-defense mask. He looked straight ahead and walked forward firmly like a Pilgrim.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the dark horizon was once again shrouded in a dark color. When the traveler approached, he finally saw a low hill at the end of the Gobi Desert and a pile of rubble.

The man walked to the pile of rocks and stopped at an unremarkable stone. He knocked on a few nearby stones, and with a buzz and the ground trembling, the situation in front of him slowly moved back, revealing a narrow tunnel that could only accommodate one person.

The man jumped into the tunnel without a second thought. Link’s ” vision ” followed the man’s steps into the tunnel.

shortly after entering the tunnel, the man took out a small flashlight from his coat, and a pillar of light led the way.

Link saw hieroglyphics and paintings of the ancient Pharaoh dynasty on the walls.

Logically speaking, the catacombs with these drawings were usually the tombs of pharaohs. However, there were no records of this catacombs, and it was extremely far from the desert dynasty’s birthplace. From the outside, it looked very well hidden. No one would think that there was a catacombs here.

As they went deeper, the man took off his gas mask. Link recognized the man as The Desert Prince from the light of the flashlight shining on his face.

in the nuclear winter after the day of the reckoning, the desert prince had escaped from his shell and came to the hidden underground cave alone without the knowledge of his seven guards. there must be some secret.

As he went deeper, the underground tunnel became wider and wider. There were many traps along the way, and The Desert Prince skillfully maneuvered them to avoid all kinds of traps. He came to the deepest part of the underground cave, where there was a Hall about 100 square meters. the four corners of the hall were lit with whale-oil lamps, which lit up the hall and made the figures sway.

In the middle of the hall was a small round pool, which looked like a place for Holy Baptism. The water inside was clear, and under the light of the whale-oil lamp, the surface of the water was floating like an autumn leaf, sparkling.

The Desert Prince stood in front of the round ” pond “, muttering something in a low voice.

Link couldn’t understand it, but he could guess from the whirlpool that was forming in the water that it was some kind of mysterious summoning ritual. However, link could not find any familiar or similar incantations in his mind.

“Master, I’ve arranged everything as you’ve instructed.”

the originally clear water of the holy cleansing pool suddenly became turbid, showing a purple and dark blue color similar to the deep universe.

Link moved closer, trying to see the situation inside the pool.

However, the pool water was extremely muddy, and there was only the base color, so nothing could be seen.

very good. Since you’ve completed your mission, it’s time for you to return. There are still many things for you to deal with here.

the desert prince crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking particularly pious.

The woolen coat he was wearing also slipped from his shoulders and fell to the ground behind him.

The current in the Holy cleansing pool became even more turbulent. The Desert Prince leaned forward and fell into the water with a splash.

The rippling water receded, and the turbid Holy cleansing pool suddenly emitted light.

The edge of the Holy cleansing pool exuded a glazed light, like a strange realm.

this scene stimulated link’s memory. every time the mechanical fortress passed through the transition door, the scenery in the wormhole tunnel was exactly the same!

this holy cleansing pool, under the blessing of the incantation, became a portal connecting the wasteland and the wondrous domain.

In the center of the Holy cleansing pool, which was also the center of the vortex, link tried his best to look over and saw a shocking scene.

In the depths of the universe, countless stars were embedded in a ” wall ” formed by the yellowish cosmic gas.

And on this ” wall ” of gas, there were countless condensed giant faces. Each face was the size of a planet, Grand and dense. It looked like one’s mind was greatly shaken. It was like the fire Shadow Rock and Mount Rushmore, but the faces on the wall of this gas Nebula were endless.

Apart from their faces, their bodies, which looked like the gods of creation, were bound to the Nebula and covered in a khaki color. They had turned into clay figurines.

The spider web-like luck bound the giant’s body, and the faces on the Nebula all opened their mouths wide, full of unwillingness, as if they were venting and complaining.

even in his previous life, link had never seen such a magnificent sight.

just as link was in shock at the magnificent sight before him, a soul-shaking sound came from the nebula ” wall. ”

“You’ve seen too much, Yingluo.”

Before link could understand what she meant, the cleansing pool suddenly exploded. A water pillar shot up into the sky, knocking Link’s consciousness out of the meditation space.

Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

Link felt a buzzing in his ears and staggered two steps back. John quickly caught him.

“Link, what’s wrong?” John could clearly sense that Link’s aura and energy had collapsed in an instant. It was as if a sand castle built on the beach had been completely destroyed by a wave that came ashore.

Link steadied his mind. His heart was beating violently, and a chill ran from his spine to the top of his head. His hair stood on end.

He only used the perspective of the [wasteland omniscient one] to recall what happened in the wasteland a hundred years ago, and peeked at the great creation through the passage of the Holy cleansing pool. However, he had actually been discovered in this kind of memory image!

Although he didn’t know what the yellow Nebula was, it was an undeniable fact that The Desert Prince was loyal to the voice.

And now, link seemed to be targeted by a terrifying existence!

Link’s mind was in a mess. At that moment, the system gave him a series of notifications, as if it was increasing the number.

[ you have investigated the Prince’s traces and inside information. You have completed the a-rank Mission [ the conspiracy of the traces ]. ]

[ you have discovered an even deeper secret. You have received the S-rank Mission [ pillar of creation ]’s first chain Mission [ wall of origin ]! ]

P.S. “There’s more tonight.”
