Chapter 721 Use of the ring (1)


    ??Everyone just looked at the stairs that appeared with a stunned look on their faces.


    Well that was except for me who already knew that this would happen.


    I was a bit surprised to see it in real lifepared to seeing it on a screen, but I walked forward and started heading down the stairs.


    When the rest of the group saw me like this, it was the captain of the guard that suddenly came forward to stop me. He stood there in front of me with his weapon raised, as if he wouldn''t allow me to pass.


    The captain of the guard just narrowed his eyes to look at me as if he didn''t trust me before saying, "This is our Nergiante Dukedom. We won''t let someone else head in before us."


    I raised a brow to look at him before turning to look at the duke.


    He also was a bit surprised by what this captain of the guard said, but he stood behind him in the end.


    This captain of the guard was his subordinate and he was acting on behalf of their dukedom, so of course he would support him.


    It didn''t seem like they would back down on this matter, so in the end…


    I just let them go first.


    There was no reason for us to fight over this in the first ce.


    Whether I went down first or they went down first didn''t matter since there was no danger inside of this ce. The dangerid with the thing that was sealed inside of this ce, the thing that I was here to take care of.


    The captain of the guard called his men together and taking a formation, they led the way down.


    I had to admit that these men really were loyal.


    They were willing to go forward into this darkness without any fear, all for their country.


    This was loyalty at its finest.


    But they really did move too slow for my liking.


    In the end, it even took them several minutes just to reach the bottom of the stairs and this was only two sets of stairs. They were moving so slow that it took almost a minute to go down one step.


    They had been trying to figure out what was in front of them, but the torches that they used just weren''t bright enough to see everything.


    After they went down, I followed behind them while shaking my head.


    As they were still trying to figure things out, I went over to the side and pressed something on the wall.


    The moment that I pressed this thing, there was a light that appeared from above us.


    This light had appeared too suddenly that no one was able to adjust in time.


    They had to cover their eyes so that they wouldn''t be blinded by the light.


    I was the only one that had reacted to this since I knew what would happen.


    I went in front of the captain of the guards and his men before saying, "Come on, it''s just in front."


    They slowly adjusted to the light before looking at me with strange looks.


    The way that I had reacted, it was almost as if I already knew what this ce was.


    The way that they looked at me, it was clear that they had more questions that they wanted to ask me, but I didn''t give them any time to ask me anything as I continued down this hall in front of us.


    This hall wasn''t that long and it didn''t take long for us to reach arge room that was well lit.


    Since it was well lit, they were able to see what was in the room right away.


    In the center of the room was arge ck crystal that just seemed to float there in the air.


    No one really knew what this ck crystal was, but they didn''t like the look of this ck crystal.


    That was because of the feel that came from this ck crystal.


    It was a disgusting feeling like it was something that was diseased.


    They didn''t know why they felt this way about this ck crystal.


    Whether it was the aura that came from it or the colour that it was, it just looked and felt very strange.


    But I just ignored all of them as I went forward towards the ck crystal.


    Before I could reach it, the captain of the guard came forward to stand in front of me. He raised the spear in his hand so that it was pointed at me before saying, "You will go no further."


    The look on his face made it clear that he wasn''t to be trifled with.


    I narrowed my eyes to look at him before turning to look at Duke Nergiante.


    He could see the way that I was looking at him, so he said, "Move aside."


    The captain of the guard was shocked to hear this before quickly saying, "But your lordship, this is…"


    Duke Nergiante took a deep breath before saying, "I already said move aside. He''s here to help us, so stop getting in his way."


    The captain of the guard looked dismayed when he heard this, but he still eventually moved out of the way. Though when he did, he made sure to re at me as he passed by me.


    I just ignored all of this as I went forward to look at the crystal.


    I didn''t look at the crystal itself, but at the area around the crystal.


    I was looking around as if I was looking for something special.


    It took a while before I found what I was looking for.


    It was a groove that had a strange shape.


    But I gave a nod when I saw this shape and turned to wave my hand at Duke Nergiante.


    He looked at me with a strange look and hesitated for a bit.


    The captain of the guard shook his head at Duke Nergiante when he saw this, but Duke Nergiante came over in the end.


    I pointed at this groove and said, "Put your ring in."
