Chapter 827 Don't Underestimate the Working Class
Paimon, completely unaware that he had almost fallen out with Xu Ning just moments before, watched as the broken chain turned into a ribbon of light and slowly disappeared into the water. He then curiously approached Xu Ning.
"Did I see some kind of lingering memory? On the way here, I accidentally touched a stone guard and it seemed like I saw a huge golden palace where a god-like figure was sitting on a throne, seemingly asleep..."
Xu Ning smiled faintly and said, "They are indeed some memories, but perhaps because the chains are binding Scylla, they are almost all interactions between Scylla and Remus."
Xu Ning turned to look at the cat, "And judging from what they said, it's almost the end for Remuria. If Cassiodo is interested, you can unlock the other two chains."
The cat paused for a moment, but did not object.
As expected, the cat chose to unlock the remaining two chains itself.
Cassiopeia the cat was even more familiar with Boethius's methods, and those chains were easily broken.
Absorbing those memories seemed to take longer, but after sensing those memories, the cat became increasingly silent.
"So...all of this was actually Boethius..."
On the other end, freed from the chains, Scylla's enormous soul body swayed nimbly in the water.
"Ah, how long has it been since I felt this way... Saigong, our promise..."
Xu Ning smiled and reached out to draw the Dust Concealment Gourd. A large whale, almost identical to Scylla, leaped out and let out a deep and long cry.
Paimon stared in astonishment at the slightly smaller, colossal whale, which excitedly rolled and spun around Scylla like a child...
"So... the giant whale you kept in the Primordial Ocean was actually Scylla's... No wonder you said you knew it was a friend, so you've known each other for a long time?"
Xu Ning smiled. "That's a long time ago, but let's focus on the current situation first. Since you're stuck here, Scylla, Remus's request for you back then must not have been completed yet, right? Judging from that guy's habits, he probably won't hand over all his holdings until the very last step. What else does he have left?"
Paimon, oblivious to Kong's increasingly serious expression, tugged at his arm. "Hey, it seems like the Big Drunkard is a more competent treasure hunter than we are. Maybe he'll find countless treasures left behind by an ancient dynasty this time. How do you think we'll split them with the Big Drunkard then..."
Scylla looked lovingly at the Devouring Whale around her, then slightly opened her mouth, and several small golden bees suddenly flew out from its soul.
After emerging, the little creatures circled around once, and then resolutely flew off in one direction.
“We’ll just follow them.” Scylla swam forward, swaying her body. “Remus once said that the golden bees would naturally guide us onto the path he himself had taken.”
Xu Ning picked up his wine gourd and took a long sip. "Then I must say, His life was indeed quite short."
The cat, who had been silent all along, finally snapped out of it and roared, "The Supreme One's destiny is to raise the banner of rebellion against the gods of Heaven. Even if Remuria is gone, this world will still have plenty..."
Xu Ning raised his hand to interrupt Maomao, "I don't mean to deny the significance of what Remus did, but what you said is a bit too exaggerated. As the saying goes, how can a defeated general talk about bravery? He can't even do something like rebelling against Amon, let alone suddenly daring to challenge those guys in the sky."
"I'm more inclined to believe that it was the presence of loyal followers like you that gave him the courage to defy fate. After all, if he were alone, given his personality, he might have chosen to run away again, just like that little fool from Liyue. Although he ultimately couldn't escape his predetermined path of destruction, he was still quite remarkable."
Unfortunately, the cat didn't live long enough to find more evidence to refute the drunkard, so in the end it could only silently follow the golden bee straight ahead.
Several golden bees flew to a spot on the ground with a circular pattern and suddenly began to hover.
"It seems there used to be a portal or passage here, but it's been sealed off..."
Scylla glanced down. "But we don't need to take this route. Now that we know where the Golden Bee is going, I can break through space and take you there directly."
Both Kong and Paimon recalled the huge, deep purple hole that had suddenly appeared in the floor of the opera house.
So this skill is actually a racial talent of the Devouring Whale?
Suddenly, a burst of dazzling, star-like power condensed at the pointed horn on Scylla's head and was thrown onto the circular patterned ground in front of it. As a huge hole appeared, the golden bees burrowed into it without hesitation.
"What a convenient way to travel, ignoring any obstacles..."
Paimon looked on with envy.
The cat next to me raised its chin and said proudly, "In the past, I would prepare a body in advance in the royal city or other places, and I could simply travel to the body of the place I needed to go."
"Wow, yours seems even more impressive!"
To Paimon's exclamation, the group suddenly found themselves on the outskirts of a strange castle.
The castle is entirely gold, and its shape resembles an enormous pipe organ.
"I originally intended to send you directly into the castle to find that traitor, but I didn't expect that the castle is still protected by Remus's divine power, making it impossible to enter directly. This is probably why that traitor has been able to hold out until today and still have the energy to cause trouble..."
Xu Ning said nonchalantly, "You've already helped us a lot by bringing us here. We'll handle the rest ourselves. Besides, since Remus ordered you to attack this place back then, you probably have that thing with you, right? Why don't you go into the Dust Concealment Cave first and nourish your soul with the Fetal Sea and Spirit Dew? You can come out when we need you."
Scylla nodded. "There is a way to get into the castle. I've seen the waterways here in full symphony, and the gates of the Golden Castle would open automatically then. But it seems to be quite damaged now."
"Don't worry, we're experts at repairs too."
Paimon patted Kong on the shoulder proudly, as if to say, "Don't underestimate the working class."
