Chapter 1191 - 1191 The Secret of the Imperial Mausoleum
1191 The Secret of the Imperial Mausoleum
In the capital of the Empire, Atama, after meeting with Emperor Salvador, Tang Mo left the royal family and immediately rushed back to the branch of the Tianli Mercenary Group to find Wei Tao.
“Tell me, what exactly happened? Did Mingyue’s disappearance have anything to do with you?”
Wei Tao and Mikhael looked at each other and immediately felt wronged.
Good fellow, now he was questioning them? They also wanted to know what had happened.
Originally, Wei Tao and Mikhael had planned to go and find Tang Mo and think of a way to rescue Tang Mingyue, who was under house arrest by the Emperor.
They had never expected Fang Heng to be so courageous as to directly enter the Imperial City and bring Tang Mingyue out to complete the task.
Who could pull off such a thing?
Thus, the two of them discussed it and simply pretended not to know. They would first follow Tang Mo back to the main city to assess the situation.
But who would have thought that while they were on their way back to the capital, they would get the game prompt that Fang Heng had triggered the main storyline mission of the Imperial mausoleum?
The Imperial mausoleum? What the hell was that?
Wei Tao and Mikhael were instantly baffled.
They had no choice. After they returned to Atama, they immediately asked their men about Fang Heng’s situation. They thought that they would know what happened if they found Fang Heng.
However, something unexpected happened.
The other players didn’t know what Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue were up to. They only knew that Fang Heng took Tang Mingyue to the Imperial mausoleum of the Empire.
He didn’t even leave them any news!
Wei Tao was completely dumbfounded by Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue.
Good Lord, from the moment they entered the game, Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue had been doing all sorts of things, both openly and secretly. They didn’t pay much attention to the main storyline trial mission and only thought about doing something trivial.
Why did it suddenly become so out of hand?
He had just rescued Tang Mingyue from the royal family, and without even taking a break, he had gone to the Imperial mausoleum.
What had triggered them to behave in such a manner?
Wei Tao’s thoughts were all over the place.
It was true that the main storyline mission had mentioned the Imperial mausoleum, but he had no idea how the two were related.
Wei Tao felt that his hair had become thinner.
Damn it, what happened in the ten hours he wasn’t here?
Tang Mo saw that Wei Tao’s expression was uncertain and asked sternly, “Why did His Majesty tell me that he had never placed Mingyue under house arrest? He also said that Mingyue’s disappearance was the doing of the barbarians and that it might be related to Lord Fang Heng. What else are you guys hiding from me?”
“Sigh.”
Wei Tao sighed silently in his heart. He knew that he could not hide it anymore, so he decided to be honest about everything.
“Your Highness Tang Mo, it’s like this, Her Highness Mingyue has been placed under house arrest by the royal family. We….”
Tang Mo listened to Wei Tao’s story but still stared intently at Wei Tao as if he wanted to see something from his eyes.
According to Wei Tao, Tang Mingyue was indeed under house arrest by the royal family, but she had been taken away by Fang Heng in advance.
As for what the royal family said about the barbarian race, it was not credible. Fang Heng could never be related to the barbarian race.
Tang Mo didn’t trust Wei Tao’s words.
However, on second thought, if Tang Mingyue’s disappearance was really Wei Tao’s doing, was there a need for them to rush to him for help last night?
“Okay, I’ll believe you for the time being. Where is Mingyue now?”
At this point, Wei Tao simply told the truth, “We just learned that Her Highness Mingyue went to the Imperial mausoleum.”
“The Imperial mausoleum?!”
Tang Mo’s expression changed a few times as he lowered his head and fell into silence.
Wei Tao realized that the two words ‘Imperial mausoleum’ seemed to have triggered something. He said in a low voice, “Your Highness, what’s the matter?”
“It seems that you didn’t lie to me.”
Tang Mo raised his head and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go to the Imperial mausoleum immediately. Something must have happened to Mingyue.”
This time, it was Wei Tao and Mikhael who were puzzled.
The two of them looked at each other and Wei Tao could not help but ask, “Your Highness, what’s going on?”
“When I was young, my great-grandfather told us that Andrast, the ancestor who founded the Empire, left behind her last words before she died. If the royal family were to encounter a life-and-death crisis one day, the heir of the Empire’s bloodline could enter the Imperial mausoleum and find the inheritance she left behind.”
“This matter is only known to the direct line of succession of the royal family. Outsiders will never know about this.”
Wei Tao’s heart skipped a beat.
Inheritance? It sounded very powerful.
He suddenly came to a realization.
No wonder Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue had become so desperate all of a sudden. Was it because of the royal family’s inheritance?
Immediately after, a line of game prompts appeared on the retina of all the players participating in the trial.
[Hint: You have triggered the team’s main storyline trial mission-the inheritance of the Empire’s ancestors.]
Mission title: The inheritance of the Empire’s ancestors.
Mission difficulty: SSS.
Mission description: You have learned about the inheritance of the Empire’s ancestors from Tang Mo. Tang Mo wants to enter the Imperial Imperial mausoleum with you to explore the place.
Mission requirements: Explore the Empire’s Imperial mausoleum, find the truth of the Empire’s ancestral inheritance and ensure that Tang Mo doesn’t die in the exploration process.
Mission reward: ???
Mission penalty: Your friendliness with Tang Mo will reduce greatly.
Looking at the mission prompt, Mikhael looked at Wei Tao and could not help but feel surprised.
Double main storyline mission and both were the most difficult SSS-level…
Wait a minute, so Fang Heng and the others had already gone ahead to complete the mission?
…
[Hint: You have triggered the team’s main storyline trial mission-the inheritance of the Empire’s ancestors.]
Below the cave, Tang Mingyue and Fang Heng, who had just set off and followed the team, were surprised when they saw the game prompt that appeared out of nowhere. They immediately checked the game log and flipped through the game mission prompt that had just flashed by.
Eh? Tang Mo also came to the Imperial mausoleum?
Looking at the game prompt, it seemed that the inheritance of the royal family’s ancestors was hidden in the Imperial mausoleum.
Tang Mingyue was both surprised and happy to see this.
She was shocked that they had triggered two missions!
Moreover, both of the missions were super missions with SSS-level difficulty!
One could imagine how difficult it would be to invade the Imperial mausoleum.
But on second thought, Tang Mingyue felt delighted.
The game prompt said that it was the inheritance of the royal family, and she was the successor of the royal family.
Wouldn’t she be able to reap great benefits from this, for instance, getting some royal heritage or something?
Just as she was letting her thoughts run wild, Sandy suddenly shouted and pointed forward.
“Hey, everyone, look over there!”
Fang Heng raised his head and looked ahead. He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
He had originally thought that he would need to enter the bottom of the abyss to find the real entrance to the Imperial mausoleum. He did not expect that the stone steps in front of him had already reached the end of the path.
The other end of the stone steps was connected to another raised platform on the cliff.
The entrance to the Imperial mausoleum was not far behind the platform.
On both sides of the entrance were carefully carved stone statues of royal guards, and the walls were also painted with fine decorative patterns.
Wangnet squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, “It seems like we’ve found the entrance.”
