Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 611 - 539: Gray King
At this moment, in the village where the Soul Guard Army was located, Kane and Kreya were in the meeting hall.
The entire hall had only the two of them, as Kreya had asked everyone else to leave, for the chat inside the hall was no longer suitable for outsiders to overhear.
The two were still in communication with Lilulu, trying to find out her current situation.
"Lilulu, can you determine where you are on the map right now?" Kane couldn't help but ask.
If they could know Lilulu's approximate location, they could rush there quickly. With his current vehicle speed, unless she was on the other side of the continent, they could arrive within half a day.
Given Lilulu's strength, it was believed that she could hold out against even the strongest enemy, after all, the dungeon's strength was limited.
"I don't know, Lilulu just came out." Faced with Kane's question, Lilulu could only answer like this.
The place where Lilulu was now was also completely unfamiliar to her.
Kane furrowed his brow and thought for a while, then directly opened the [Book of Adventure] and switched his own skills in the personal skill bar.
With the skill switch, magic power surged from his hand, forming a silver compass, which emerged with the magic power's transformation.
As the silver compass appeared, Kane began to describe Lilulu's features.
After the compass needle rotated a few times, it pointed in a direction and stopped moving.
Seeing the needle stop, a smile appeared on Kane's face: "It's feasible, we can find Lilulu's direction."
The compass was rarely used but was indeed the best means in specific situations.
This type of skill stone is never too much.
Then he turned to Kreya and said: "Kreya, my speed is relatively fast, I'll rush over first by myself, the situation here is left to you for now."
"No problem, go quickly, I'll take care of things here."
Kreya nodded and said, also very worried about Lilulu's safety.
Not only Kane and them, since Lilulu was using a public channel, even Longbei and Meizike were concerned.
"Lilulu, how are you now? Kane, I'm on this steel bird, go ahead without worrying, I've already come to help." Longbei's voice came out from the Ruby Lapel Pin.
Hearing Longbei's words, Kane felt assured.
However, at this moment, Lilulu's voice came through.
"You all don't need to worry about Lilulu, Kane doesn't need to come over either."
Before Kane and others could voice doubts, Lilulu explained directly: "Lilulu can foresee, though it's dangerous, it's not deadly. Lilulu can resolve it herself, don't worry."
Lilulu used a certain level of foreknowledge magic, which was very accurate in predicting her own danger.
After hearing Lilulu's words, the entire channel was silent for a while, then Kane's voice sounded.
"Can you be sure? Is it really okay?"
Faced with Kane's question, Lilulu's voice came through firmly: "Don't worry, Kane, Lilulu is fine."
Since Lilulu said so, they only had to trust her.
In such a situation, even with Lilulu's playful nature, she wouldn't make a judgment not to need rescue from others out of pride.
Although Lilulu was playful and naive, and sometimes a bit wicked, appearing silly at times, Kane and others were clearly aware that Lilulu wasn't a fool; instead, she was very clever in serious matters.
Since Lilulu made such a judgment and said it, it meant she indeed had confidence in facing the danger.
It's known that explorers need to form teams because they face various dangers they can't handle alone, hence in such a situation, no explorer would act recklessly.
If Lilulu was truly faced with an invincible danger, even one that threatened Kane and them, Lilulu wouldn't be calmly chatting with them now but would have teleported out with the Furnace Stone.
Explorers have a very acute sense of their own safety, the more advanced, the more acute.
Moreover, there is no point in being reckless in a dungeon, if you die, everything is lost, yet there are countless dungeons waiting, spending one's life for one is entirely not worth it.
Thus, when Lilulu stated she could completely handle it, although Kane and others were still a bit worried, they calmed down.
Since they still didn't know what danger Lilulu would face, after thinking for a while, Kane said: "Since you can solve it yourself, I'll first put some items into the space warehouse for you to take."
After speaking, Kane directly placed some life-saving items and tools into the guild warehouse from his space equipment, specifically the ones previously given by Elves from the Amis Squad to thank them, which could quickly recover all injuries.
Then put in a golden artifact from their squad for resurrection purposes.
"I also have some newly made potions here, which should help you."
Meizike's voice sounded in the channel, and Kane also saw some potions appearing in the guild treasury.
These items could allow Lilulu to access them quickly, at least making her life safer.
Faced with these items, Lilulu did not refuse but directly took them from the guild warehouse and placed them into her space equipment.
"Don't worry, Lilulu will definitely beat this guy to a pulp, daring to be so sneaky."
Facing Lilulu's words, Kane still reminded: "Remember, don't hang up, keep in contact with us at all times, and pay attention to the surroundings. Also, always keep the Furnace Stone in an accessible place, I believe with your speed, three seconds is manageable."
"Don't worry." Though the communication wasn't hung up yet, Lilulu also fell into contemplation.
She already had several layers of magic shields on her body, and in her other hand, she was gripping the Furnace Stone, ready to use Flashing to evade unforeseen attacks.
Confirming that she is still in danger.
Then she completely released her perception, being vigilant of the surrounding situation. This environment was extremely unfamiliar to Lilulu.
The place where the Kirin race previously hid itself was actually a twisted space due to a shattered world. This space was still attached to the dungeon, becoming a part of it.
The ancestors of the Kirin race found the entrance to this space to avoid war and moved their entire tribe inside.
Because Lilulu had the Kirin inside her, she woke up directly within this space, which led to her being unaware of the situation outside.
After appeasing the Kirin, she found clues through some information recorded by the elders of the Kirin tribe.
And because Lilulu had the influence of the Fairy Tale World, she was quite sensitive to such spaces. By following the clues, she found a breach in this space and finally managed to get out.
Originally, the moment she came out, she observed the surroundings and was ready to enter the Guild Hall, but unexpectedly could not enter, indicating she was in danger.
Moreover, no matter how she looked, the surrounding environment did not seem like an ordinary natural environment.
Where Lilulu stood was still within the confines of the dungeon, because the Golden Bridge in the sky continued to flicker, and the golden light still shone upon Lilulu, bringing her physical and mental relief.
These situations matched what Kane and the others had described about the outside world.
But around her were stone pillars of various sizes, arranged according to height.
There was no orderly sequence, the stone pillars were engraved with patterns that Lilulu had never seen, and she could not understand what those patterns meant.
However, atop the stone pillars were unpolished transparent gemstones of various strange shapes.
These transparent gemstones seemed to absorb the golden light projected from the sky, emitting a faint glow themselves, though this glow was a ghostly green and pale white.
At this moment, the perception Lilulu had extended finally detected something amiss, and she swiftly turned around to face it.
It was then that an ethereal and strange voice reached her ears.
"Oh, a little fly, I wonder where you came from to arrive at my palace."
Though the voice was ethereal and strange, one could discern from its tone that it was a woman's voice.
The ghostly green light coalesced into a mass, and when the light dissipated, a woman emerged from it.
She had long white hair, with golden light glistening upon it.
Her face was extraordinarily delicate and beautiful, like a finely crafted doll. Her attire was as luxurious as that of the doll.
A voluminous, luxurious gown adorned her body, its hem cascading down to her knees. Her feet, however, were bare, as she floated barefoot above the ground.
Her skin emitted a faint ghostly green light, rendering her entire being dreamlike, as if a mirage.
A faint ghostly green gemstone hovered beside her.
Although Lilulu usually seemed carefree, she had kept in mind the various pieces of information Kane and the others mentioned, able to recall them naturally when truly needed without overthinking.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the female figure before her, Lilulu instantly judged that she might be one of the prominent monarchs.
According to the information Kane had obtained, the monarchs were the five children of the King of Platinum, ranging from the Eldest Prince to the Sixth Princess.
The Fifth Prince was not among them, supposedly because he did not obtain a fragment.
The women among them were the Second Princess and the Sixth Princess.
The Second Princess held the Authority of the Soul, and her fragment was a gemstone.
The Sixth Princess wielded the Authority of Concord, with the largest fragment, a staff.
Kane also mentioned some characteristics: the fragments would float beside them, ready for use at any time.
Even when Kane and Kreya used these fragments themselves, they floated nearby.
The Black Monarch was different, having embedded the fragment directly into his body.
Considering all this information, the female before her was almost certainly the Second Princess, the one who held the Authority of the Soul, the Grey King.
From this perspective, the ghostly pale green hue on her indeed resembled grey when viewed vaguely.
"What's wrong, little fly? Why aren't you talking?" the Grey King looked at Lilulu with a playful smile and asked, her eyes full of teasing.
Lilulu had already concluded that the person in front of her was the Grey King. However, the incessant calling of "little fly" irritated her.
The Grey King, noticing Lilulu's annoyed expression, covered her mouth with her right hand and giggled, "What's the matter? Don't like being called a little fly?"
She pretended to ponder, then said, "Little earthworm, no, that's not it."
"Seeing you with wings, I'll call you little moth."
This woman is truly annoying.
In Lilulu's heart, she labeled the Grey King.
The Grey King continued talking to herself, finding Lilulu's lack of response and expression of disapproval rather dull.
"How boring, although I don't know how you got in, it doesn't matter anymore, die."
The Grey King's exquisite face no longer bore a gentle and joyous expression but turned hideous and violent in an instant.
She truly was fickle.
