Chapter 339 [Eternal Coffin (Imitation)] [Miasma of Memory]
Looking at Princess Dayan getting up from the ice coffin, Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly.
In addition to the indescribable noble and transcendent temperament, Xia En also sensed a faint sense of oppression and threat from her.
This shows that the Great Yan Princess named "Dark Ice" may have considerable strength in her own right.
The rank is at least level six, maybe even higher!
Shane wasn't surprised.
Becoming the only princess of the [Great Yan Kingdom] is obviously not something that a vase can do.
However, there is one thing that makes Xia En quite confused.
It should have been some time since Yan Yan returned to [The Far North]. Why didn’t she decide to wake her up until the rebels in [Black Flame Walker] took action against An Bing?
Is there any hidden secret in this?
After suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Xia En spoke calmly.
"It was King Xin who ordered you to be awakened."
"... King Xin?"
Hearing this title, An Bing frowned: " It seems that you are not a citizen of [Great Yan Kingdom]..."
"Where is Yan Yan? Let him come to see me!"
When saying this, An Bing gritted his teeth, with strong resentment in his tone.
"For doing that to me and my family...does he think I will forgive him?"
"...Huh?"
Xia En's expression was a little strange, and he smelled blood from these words.
Although it seems a bit unfair, to be honest, he is still very interested in the love-hate relationship between Yan Yan and Princess Dayan.
All I had to do was hold a piece of melon and eat it next to me.
At this time, the abnormal coldness of the [Eternal Coffin] dissipated.
Irina and the injured Sergey also quickly came to Xia En and An Bing.
As soon as they saw An Bing, the two of them immediately knelt down on one knee and said with great respect: "[Black Flame Walker] Irina (Sergei), I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"[Black Flame Walker]...I haven't heard this word for a long time."
An Bing's peripheral vision was quickly attracted to Joey, Daisy and others.
The different new clothes, as well as the curious and appreciative eyes, the not very respectful demeanor... all show that——
They are not the people of [Dayan Kingdom], but He is an outsider in this country!
Moreover, why are there only two [Black Flame Walkers] in number?
What happened during the years she slept?
Thinking of these questions, An Bing couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
A strange environment, a strange era, strange people...these factors combined brought a big impact to the princess of the Great Yan Kingdom.
An Bing murmured and asked: "Irina, how long...how long have I been sleeping?"
Irina hesitated for a moment, but replied: "It should have passed at least. "Thousands of years."
"Thousands of years..."
An Bing's expression finally changed and he asked with a slightly trembling voice.
"So, [Great Yan Kingdom] is okay?"
Irina's eyes were slightly red and she replied: "Your Highness, [Great Yan Kingdom] is dead."< br>
"The only ones left are us remnants of the old era."
An Bing murmured in disbelief: "[Great Yan Kingdom]...is dead?"
>
"No...impossible!"
After hearing the bad news, An Bing suddenly became excited.
"Yan Yan, he lied to me? He clearly said that as long as the plan is implemented smoothly..."
Her words stopped abruptly.
Because at this time, An Bing felt dizzy in his mind, fell to the ground, and lost consciousness.
"Your Highness the Princess!!!"
In the exclamation, Irina quickly stepped forward to support her.
After confirming that An Bing's breathing was still stable, Irina breathed a sigh of relief.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess seems to have fainted, but... what is going on?"
"Captain Shane, please help me."
Jane stood up and said, "Let me take a look at her situation."
Her cane touched An Bing's body gently, and the blue light rippled out of the water and spread to An Bing's whole body. .
Soon, after checking for a moment, Jane gave an authoritative answer.
"Don't worry, her life is not in danger. She just slept for too long and is very weak."
"Coupled with the sudden emotional excitement, it caused a temporary coma."
"It should take two days to wake up on its own."
Hearing this, Irina was relieved. If Her Highness the Princess, who was finally rescued, could not sleep like this, how could she have the face to see her king?
She looked at Xia En in wonder and gratitude.
“I didn’t expect that Captain Xia En could really wake up Her Royal Highness.”
“I apologize to you for my previous ignorance, and thank you for your help.”
Shane waved his hand: "It's just a little effort."
Irina bit her lip and said, "Actually, I have one more request..."
Looking at her embarrassment With a look on his face, Xia En simply said: "Are you escorting the princess to King Xin?"
"Yes...yes."
Irina said: "Now our There were only two men, the princess fell into a coma, and Sergey was seriously injured."
"Moreover, we are not sure whether the reinforcements arriving now are friends or foes..."
Their traces were discovered before, obviously because there was a traitor in the team.
This shows that not only they [Black Flame Walkers] who are loyal to King Xin have infiltrated into the rebels, but the rebels are also lurking in their camp.
Therefore, Irina did not dare to rashly send back the information that saved the princess.
What if the person who receives the information happens to be a spy in [Black Flame Walker], wouldn’t everything be over?
But right now, the only person Irina and I can rely on is Xia En.
"I understand, leave it to me."
Xia En's answer was calm and firm, but it contained a strong confidence.
For the sake of Yan Yan, it is only natural to help a group of [Black Flame Walkers] and Princess Dayan.
My crew member’s wife is being bullied. How can I, the captain, sit back and ignore it?
Therefore, from the beginning, Xia En was ready to send An Bing to Yan Yan.
In the process, you can also learn some of the history of [Dayan Kingdom] from her.
When hearing Xia En's promise, Irina and Sergey couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
If it had been before, they might have thought that Xia En was telling lies.
But after witnessing with their own eyes the process of Xia En creating [Fire] from scratch, both of them changed their minds.
Captain Shane is indeed qualified to say that!
Even as soon as his promise was spoken, the two of them felt a sense of security, and their hearts seemed to settle down.
Irina secretly thought in her heart: "Perhaps, this is the reason why Captain Xia En can make the king treat him differently?"
Xia En continued: "However, regarding [Great Yan] Country], I still have some questions to ask you..."
...
…
It didn’t take long.
Irina, An Bing, and the mysterious [Eternal Coffin] were all moved onto the [Black Swan].
Of course, Xia En did not let go even of the [Black Flame Robes] on those rebels. Regarding the mysterious ice coffin, Xia En first observed it on his own.
He discovered that the ice that condensed into this coffin was surprisingly similar to the ice on the frozen towns when he was diving in the [Cold Sea].
It’s just that the ice that makes up the ice coffin is stronger and more solid, as if it has been compressed dozens or even hundreds of times by some external force.
At the same time, Shane also tried to use the panel to uncover its secrets.
[Eternal Coffin (imitation)]
[Quality: Legend]
[Type: Relic]
[Description: A carefully crafted imitation that contains some of the characteristics of the real "Eternal Coffin". 】
【Sleeping in it, supplemented by special rituals and secret powers, can make the body and soul fall into a long sleep and remain incorruptible for thousands of years. 】
【There is no real eternity in the world. 】
“Hiss...”
There wasn't much description on the panel, but it made Xia En take a slight breath.
This [Eternal Coffin] that Princess Dayan has been sleeping in for thousands of years is actually just an imitation?
And just an imitation is of [Legendary] quality!
What level will the genuine [Eternal Coffin] reach?
To be honest, the first thing that came to Xia En's mind was Vivian's crystal coffin.
After all, it is quite similar in temperament to this mysterious ice coffin, and it was discovered from the [Ember Sanctuary].
There must be some connection between the two.
However, after Xia En opened the crystal coffin again and looked it up and down under Vivian's surprised eyes, he still found nothing special. .
The panel also did not give any prompts.
It's like, it's just an ordinary coffin.
Xia En touched his chin and guessed in his mind.
"Could it be that this crystal coffin is a replica of the [Eternal Coffin]?"
At this time, Vivian on the side intervened weakly.
"Captain Shane, what are you doing?"
"Although it's a bit strange to say this,... ghosts also have privacy!"
"You've seen all my body!"
Xia En: "..."
He glanced at the white skeleton in the crystal coffin.
In the process of rummaging just now, Xia En did see all the skeleton.
Resisting the urge to complain, Xia En coughed twice and changed the subject.
"Vivian, have you ever heard of...[Eternal Coffin]?"
"[Eternal Coffin]?"
Vivian blinked: "Then What is it?”
“Is my coffin spacious and comfortable?”
Xia En’s mouth twitched and he decided not to ask Vivian these questions.
What are you arguing with a salted fish ghost?
And every time I talk about these topics with Vivian, I always feel that my painting style will be distorted.
Afterwards, Xia En left Vivian’s cabin and asked Irina and Sergey some questions about [Black Flame Walker] and [Great Yan Kingdom].
First of all, what Xia En is most concerned about is...
"How did you [Black Flame Walkers] survive the first great flood and survive until now."
< br>
Hearing this question, Irina was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
"You can really see it."
Yes, from the first time he saw Irina and these [Black Flame Walkers], Xia En could tell——
They are not the descendants of [Black Flame Walkers] who have been reproduced from generation to generation, but the batch of [Black Flame Walkers] from the most prosperous period of [Great Yan Kingdom]!
Even, what Xia En doesn’t know is...
Back then at the [Conference of Nations] in [City of Giant Woods], he had a chance encounter with Irina and Sergey!
In other words, in terms of actual age, each of them is at least a thousand years old!
However, it is obvious.
Irina and other [Black Flame Walkers] are not immortals with long life spans.
How did they spend this long time?
Facing Xia En's question, Irina explained: "Actually, we [Black Flame Walkers], like Her Royal Highness, have been dormant in a special life-support device for thousands of years."
" See you when we wake up What we arrived at was the frozen [Far North].”
“Special life support device?”
Xia En raised his eyebrows and immediately thought of what he had been there. The kind of life support device seen in [Ember Shelter].
From the appearance, it is somewhat similar to the so-called "sleep cabin."
Shane remembered that the life-support device in the shelter was empty at that time, which meant that the people inside might have left long ago.
“It turns out that the technological level of [Great Yan Kingdom] has reached this level...”
Xia En was a little surprised.
At least on Earth in the previous life, technology such as hibernation cabins was far from mature.
And in [Great Yan Country], this technology has been widely used?
However, in this case, why did Princess Dayan deliberately sleep in the imitation [Eternal Coffin]?
Soon, Irina answered Xia En’s doubts.
“Actually, there are also some problems with our life-support devices.”
“Many of our companions died unexpectedly when they woke up, or died due to device malfunctions. "
Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized.
It is obvious that although the "sleep chamber" technology of [Dayan Kingdom] is widely used, there is still a high mortality rate.
That’s why An Bing used the imitation [Eternal Coffin] to sleep.
But there are also some things that don’t make sense.
If this technology is not yet mature, why is Yan Yan so anxious to put it into use?
It’s like... being forced to use such a backup plan.
Naturally, Shane asked Irina about their experiences before their long sleep.
The results obtained surprised Xia En.
"You mean..."
"Your memories before your long sleep are extremely blurry. You can't remember what happened?"
"Yes..."
Irina said slightly apologetically: "It's not just me, all the [Black Flame Walkers] can't remember the memory of the period before their long sleep."
"I just remember that it seemed to happen Something so tragic and painful that just thinking about it will cause a stinging pain in my mind."
Hearing these words, Jane on the side couldn't help but frowned and spoke. road.
“This symptom...is a bit like [memory miasma].”
“What is that?”
Shane couldn't help but ask.
Jian explained: "After some people experience extremely painful events, their brains will automatically block those memories out of self-protection, resulting in [memory miasma]."
"However, , there is another possibility. "
"That is that some mystic person or god has used some kind of secret technique to hide all the memories that have been left in people's minds for a certain period of time."< br>
