Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 301 Both Parents Are Miserable
"Of course it wouldn't have been possible before, but it's different after the Queen Mother passed away. Although my eldest sister is not a good person, she still has some intelligence. She knew that she couldn't keep all of the Queen Mother's inheritance, so she gave away most of the treasures with great fanfare."

"Most? In other words, there are still some that haven't been sent out?"

Apas sneered: "Not so stupid."

Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly at the little snake's attitude.

If it weren't for her miserable mother, she would have to learn how to be a qualified maid.

"How did you know?"

"If you were Trixie, would you be willing to give away everything the Queen Mother left behind?"

Xu Shen nodded thoughtfully.

If he were Trixina, not only would he not give away all the treasures, in order to prevent them from being discovered by other monsters, he would also find a place that could block all perceptions to store these treasures. More extreme, she would not even leave her mark in the treasure hiding place.

Only in this way can she avoid the covetousness of those demons whose perception abilities are abnormal enough to sense her extremely weak breath.

Xu Shen's eyes lit up slightly and he rubbed his hands involuntarily.

He had a feeling that this wave would be a great harvest.

With Liuli Huang Yuyi around, he had enough time to explore the temple.

After about two hours, he found a slightly special place.

It was an inconspicuous scene in the ceiling painting of the hall.

Whenever the mental force sweeps through, the time it takes for the mental force to penetrate that seemingly normal space will always be slightly longer than other places.

In other words, he is extremely sensitive to time. If someone else came, even a forbidden spell wizard, he might not be able to discover the abnormality here.

Climbing up the stone pillar, I found a mechanism there.

"Does this mechanism have any marks left by Trixie?"

"No."

Seeing Apas shaking her head, Xu Shen smiled slightly and pressed the mechanism without hesitation.

Since there are so many snakes and scorpions in the hall, it means that the opening and closing of this mechanism must be very hidden.

After all, there is no fool who would design a secret room switch that everyone knows about.

Sure enough, after pressing the switch, there was no unusual sound in the hall, but a "door" slowly appeared in front of Xu Shen.

This "door" cannot be seen by the naked eye and cannot be perceived by mental power. Only by reaching out your hand can you confirm its real existence.

Xu Shen was amazed. They were indeed from the Medusa clan, whose intelligence was comparable to that of humans. Such a sophisticated mechanism was simply unheard of.

"You move faster!"

This time it was Apas who started to urge.

Xu Shen sneaked into the secret room.

Suddenly, the scene before my eyes changed.

This was an extremely cramped little house, with only about one or two cubic meters of space, not even enough for Xu Shen to stretch his body.

He suddenly realized that with Trixie's size, if she wanted to explore this secret room, she only needed the huge scorpion tail hook.

"Mmmm, has she never considered that one day a human being will come and take a look?!"

Xu Shen cursed as he touched his head that had hit the roof.

"I must give a bad review to the designer of this secret room..."

Xu Shen was talking when he suddenly became speechless.

The collection of a king who had dominated the African grasslands for thousands of years, even though most of it had been dispersed, the remaining essence still shocked Xu Shen dumbfounded.

"This is the essence of Mind Stone, right?"

Xu Shen trembled as he picked up a piece of translucent stone the size of a human head that emitted a warm silver light.

"Yes, it was dug out from the Mind Stone Mine in Iceland several decades ago," Apas nodded and said, "This stone is very important to demons like us who rely heavily on soul power, so the Queen Mother asked Yurielle to steal it back from St. Paul's Cathedral."

"Oh my god, this is a treasure that can help a psychic mage break through forbidden spells, I fucking ..."

Xu Shen was somewhat incoherent. It was the first time he had seen a treasure of the same level as the Core of the Earth, and it was difficult for him to remain calm.

Even the several pieces of very good quality mind stones nearby have become a little dull like the inconspicuous Cinderella because of this essence of mind stone.

"And these..."

Xu Shen scooped up a handful of golden brown gravel, his expression a little upset: "This is the earth-type nanocrystal, right? Is your old mother the one who robbed the Sahara Desert? So much?!!!"

Apas looked calm as ever: "You know, our Medusa clan is a natural earth element genius, so it's reasonable to collect some earth element nanocrystals." "Reasonable... bullshit!"

Xu Shen stared at the nanocrystals piled up in one corner and could hardly contain himself.

This tiny piece is worth tens of millions, and the handful he just grabbed is worth hundreds of millions. A rough estimate of this small pile may be close to one trillion.

Damn it!
The more I tried, the heavier my breathing became.

Xu Shen felt like he couldn't remain calm at all.

This is all fucking money.

"Also, what is this?"

Xu Shen looked curiously at a cloud of gray fog in another corner.

He instinctively felt that this thing was a little too dangerous.

"I don't know, it looks like a cursed substance."

"Forget it, let's take it away first..."

Xu Shen didn't hesitate any more and packed everything into the Linglong ball.

Seeing that this small secret room was completely cleared, Xu Shen finally felt relieved. Just as he was about to climb down the dome along the stone pillar, he unexpectedly found that there seemed to be a token on the armrest of the huge throne.

He tightened his glazed phoenix feather robe and jumped lightly onto the handrail.

Because the token had the scent of Tricina on it, he did not act rashly.

"Apas, come and take a look. Is there still death energy entangled on this token?"

"It's the breath of the dead. No, to be exact, it's the breath of Khufu."

Apas' straightforward answer made Xu Shen slightly stunned.

In North Africa, Khufu's underworld and Medusa's snake empire have always been rivals.

A token belonging to Khufu suddenly appeared on Tristana's throne.

Although it is possible that she seized it, but...

It’s not that he looks down on Trishna!

"Tell me, is there a possibility that your eldest sister has surrendered to Khufu, and her token of surrender is to sever the inheritance of the Evil Saint King?"

Apasi remained silent.

How ridiculous it is that such a huge empire of snakes and scorpions has become a vassal of the undead overnight.

"Let's try to deduce. The supreme monarchs of the Serpent Empire must be more than just your two sisters. The two sisters have been fighting among themselves, and the male favorites raised by your royal mother are making trouble... It is reasonable for Trisina to find foreign aid to consolidate her position as a ruler because she can't control these little demons. Looking at North Africa, who else can be such a foreign aid except Khufu? As for the letter of surrender, it completely cuts off the possibility of inheriting the legacy of the Evil Saint King. I think based on this sincerity, if I were Khufu..."

"No, if I were Khufu, it would be very difficult for me to get things done with just this little sincerity." Xu Shen paused and suddenly said, "Apas, where is the body of your queen mother?"

"She dares!"

Apas immediately understood what Xu Shen meant.

Khufu calls himself the Lord of the Underworld, so he is naturally good at playing with corpses and ghosts. If he can get the remains of the Queen Mother Medusa...

Apas was extremely angry, and the blood-red thin egg-shaped body suddenly changed.

Xu Shen was horrified and quickly used summoning magic to calm him down.

"Of course, this is all speculation."

Xu Shen didn't dare to provoke the little snake anymore.

"I'll take you to the Queen Mother's tomb."

Apas' voice was firm and resolute.

"That's not necessary," Xu Shen said with a wry smile.

……

In the middle of the night, the desolate graves were deserted and the magic formation was half destroyed.

Apas looked at the overturned grave, her heart hanging in the air.

"Cry if you want to."

Xu Shen sighed slightly.

Overnight, after learning that her two closest relatives had died a tragic death, Apas was still able to maintain her molting state and her emotions were very stable.
