Chapter 150 The White Princess and the Six Dwarfs
Xu Ning could tell that the seal was actually trying to break free.
Unfortunately, the two bolts of lightning struck almost simultaneously, their immense power instantly shattering the seal and breaking the portal, revealing a narrow passage.
While secretly horrified by the terrifying lightning magic of this genius witch, Xu Ning took the lead and walked ahead, only to discover that it was actually an abandoned ruin.
At the entrance, there should have been a magnificent stone bridge leading directly to the tall castle in the distance.
But now the entire stone bridge has collapsed, leaving only the two supporting pillars, with chaotic gusts of wind swirling around it carrying dust.
Lisa's beautiful face turned ashen at the sight of this scene, but when she turned to look at Xu Ning, she smiled as usual.
"Little drunkard, I remember you're quite good at using the Wind Wings. How about a threesome with your sister?"
Xu Ning smiled wryly. "Miss Lisa, are you trying to relieve your anger by flirting with me?"
Moreover, Xu Ning really didn't know how to respond to that, so he could only leap up from the broken bridge, tap his shoulder with one hand, unfold his golden wind wings, and fly forward on the wind.
Seeing Xu Ning fleeing in a panic, Lisa giggled and leaped up gracefully, spreading her blue wings to chase after him.
The winds in the ruins were chaotic and frequently changed direction. Xu Ning carefully adjusted his position and chose the safest and most secure path.
He looked back several times and saw Lisa following closely behind him before he finally felt relieved.
However, when passing between the last two straight bridge pillars, an accident almost occurred.
Several grids were actually stretched between these two pillars with thin wires, and they moved up and down with the mechanisms on both sides.
If I hadn't noticed something moving on the pillar, which led me to discover this mechanism...
I fear that the moment I pass through without warning, those fine threads, as sharp as blades, will cut through my wind wings.
Then it lost its ability to fly and fell down, where it was cut into pieces by the remaining thin threads below.
Xu Ning spotted the gap between the two thin threads, narrowly made his way through the two pillars, and turned to shout to Lisa, "Miss Lisa, please be careful of those threads."
However, Xu Ning was completely overthinking it. Lisa, like a graceful butterfly, easily passed through the fine mesh.
The two landed at the main gate of the castle.
Xu Ning wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, which had formed due to nervousness. Actually, there were many ways to deal with this kind of trap if he thought about it carefully, but he had indeed panicked for a moment just now.
It should be much better next time.
The main gate of the castle was tightly closed, but a nail anchor could be clearly seen above the gate, as if telling anyone who came in, "I am the mechanism, come and trigger me!"
Xu Ning followed the iron wire on the wall to find the mechanism in the side room. Lisa casually sent a current through it, and the main door slowly opened after being powered on.
After passing through two more similar mechanisms, Xu Ning and Lisa finally arrived at a spacious stone chamber.
Inside this stone chamber were two stone platforms with mechanisms, and each mechanism was surrounded by a circle of slimes, which were happily bouncing around.
Xu Ning tried to approach the stone platform mechanism in the center of the stone chamber. A group of water and ice slimes sensed the presence of a living person and immediately rushed towards Xu Ning.
Xu Ning shook his head, snapped his fingers with his right fist, and streams of fire burned the ignorant and fearless poor slimes in front of him to ashes.
Just as Xu Ning was about to check the mechanism, the space in front of him suddenly trembled.
An ice-type abyss mage suddenly appeared from the void.
"Looks like I wasn't wrong!"
Upon seeing the thief himself appear, Lisa was even unwilling to wait for Xu Ning to make a move.
He simply reached out and conjured a ball of lightning, then casually flung it at the newly appeared abyss mage.
As if drawn by the ball of lightning, the lightning released by Lisa was automatically attracted to the Abyss Mage.
Even if the Abyss Mage uses Blink to escape, he cannot completely avoid the Thunderstorm's pursuit.
In just a few moments, his elemental shield shattered, and he fell painfully to the ground.
"How did you find this place? I was deliberately hiding it..."
Lisa sighed and said, "It seems you still don't understand. I'm not interested in where you're hiding at all. I'm just here to retrieve my books."
"You have time to hide your base, set up traps and seals, but not time to go through the lending procedures? You guys really don't know how to respect other people's work."
The Abyss Mage struggled to his feet, sneering, "So you really came for that book? I never imagined that in a place like Mondstadt, someone could actually decipher the secrets within..."
Xu Ning's heart skipped a beat; what did the Abyss Mage mean by those words?
Could there be some earth-shattering secret hidden in this book?
"Who are you? Tell me your identity!" the Abyss Mage shouted, pointing at Lisa.
Lisa said leisurely, "He's just a librarian. Hand over the books now. This is your final warning."
The Abyss Mage sneered, "So you're hiding your identity, huh? Then I'm even less likely to return the book to you. After all, it contains... that secret... Hey, what are you doing? This level of elemental power, ahhhhhh—"
The Abyss Mage's screams almost pierced through the entire ruins in an instant.
Xu Ning looked pitifully at the Abyss Mage on the ground, whose body was emitting pale blue smoke. "You are truly brave. You can still be so tough even when you are at a disadvantage. I am not as good as you."
"I hate guys who don't listen to people properly, so I'll just give him a little punishment."
Xu Ning shook his head and said, "This punishment is quite severe. Let me open the mechanism and see if there are any clues about the book."
The central government agencies and the agencies in the corners were actually a coordinated organization.
Xu Ning opened the central mechanism, and the seal on the corner mechanism automatically unlocked.
After the corner mechanism was activated, the location of the central mechanism quickly sank, revealing another stone chamber.
Xu Ning jumped down and, sure enough, found Donna's lost copy of "The White Princess and the Six Dwarfs" in a large box.
"The book is undamaged."
Xu Ning casually flipped through the book, which was no different from the other books in the library. It seemed to be telling a fairy tale.
However, what exactly was the secret that the abyss mage was referring to?
"What? You like reading it? How about I lend you this book indefinitely?"
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Is it possible to do it this way?"
Lisa smiled and said, "Of course, as long as I register you as the custodian instead of the lender, you can naturally keep it with you."
Xu Ning nodded, put the book "The White Princess and the Six Dwarfs" into his pocket, and planned to see what secrets it held that night.
