Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 176.1: The Adventures of an Adulterous Couple in the Underground City (1)

When Rayne shouted the perfectly enunciated 'Tch~', the Plunder Lizards were not the only ones shocked; Hela was as well.

She did not underestimate Rayne. With his ability, it was not surprising that he knew the language of these lizardmen.

However, what made Hela's mouth gape was that...

He had learned it way too well!

His standard pronunciation of the Plunder Lizards' language made her wonder if this person had put on a snake skin in the past and infiltrated the underground city to live with the Plunder Lizards for decades before being so well-versed in their language.

However, Hela would never know.

Rayne really had a similar experience…

Amidst the stunned Plunder Lizards, Rayne chose a seemingly easygoing one. He walked forward and communicated with the other party with a pleasant expression.

At first, the Plunder Lizards were shocked. After all, this was the first time they had seen food that could speak lizard language.

However, very quickly, they started taking a liking to this humorous and amiable piece of ingredient.

This piece of fresh meat… was really nice to listen to!

Furthermore, his eyes were beautiful as well.

Although it was a little despicable to say it, but... many Plunder Lizards unknowingly realized that they had improper thoughts about a piece of meat!

The more Rayne spoke to the Plunder Lizards, the happier they became. His jokes made all the Plunder Lizards laugh repeatedly.

Before long, the tense atmosphere was relieved.

The Plunder Lizards put down their weapons and even extended their tails, expressing their friendliness to Rayne in their own way.

After obtaining the trust of the Plunder Lizards...

Rayne revealed the true purpose of his visit.

"Tch tch tch..."

However, after hearing Rayne's request, the smiling Plunder Lizards could no longer smile.

They sized up Rayne in surprise, unable to imagine that this delicious piece of meat would dare to make such a ridiculous request.

A few Plunder Lizards asked maliciously, "Tch?"

Rayne smiled and took out two silver-white crystals, trying to bribe them. "Tch!"

Instantly, the Plunder Lizards were out of breath.

They stared at the two silver-white crystals with a high percentage purity for a long time and their eyes turned abnormally enthusiastic.

Thereafter, they fought to point out a direction for Rayne.

"Tch!"

Rayne nodded in gratitude and took out a few more silver-white crystals. "Tch?"

"Tch! Tch tch!"

The Plunder Lizards were in an uproar. For the precious silver-white crystals, they fought crazily. In the end, a few winners bumped out of the group of Plunder Lizards and picked up the silver-white crystals. They skipped away from the group Plunder Lizards and called Rayne to follow them.

Therefore, under the lead of these enthusiastic Plunder Lizards, Rayne and Hela walked into the depths of the underground city.

Hela caught up to Rayne and asked curiously, "What did you say to them just now?"

Rayne said, "I said I want to buy something from their boss, but I'm lacking someone who knows the way."

Hela asked, "What thing is it?"

Rayne replied with a smile, "It's just a gem."

Walking in the underground city of the Plunder Lizards, Rayne noticed that inferior silver-white crystals that were used as light sources could be seen everywhere.

Actually, for the underground city, using silver-white crystals to illuminate was not a cost-effective method.

They had advanced biotechnology and it was definitely not difficult for them to develop cheap lighting equipment.

However, to them, the silver-white crystals were sacred objects in their hearts and had irreplaceable religious value.

Hela could not understand what Rayne meant by 'a more primitive form of Order'. That was because she did not know that before Order became a human Main God, she was once a mechagod who wanted to destroy the world.

As for the Plunder Lizards, the one they believed in was that constructor that no longer existed.

In reality, the origin of these Plunder Lizards came from the crystal ark.

The Plunder Lizards did not know magic and did not have bloodlines of the gods. However, with their powerful reproduction ability and the ancient technology they brought out of the ark, they still managed to gain a foothold in the mortal world and became a mortal calamity on the same level as the invasion of the Nether Realm.

However, the true terror of these living beings was far from being displayed.

All the secrets were hidden in the names of the Plunder Lizards.

The name Plunder Lizard was a transliteration given by all living beings in the mortal world based on the sound of their language.

First of all, the names of the Plunder Lizards were indeed Plunder Lizards.

However, in the language of the crystal era, the term Plunder Lizard did not refer to lizards.

Instead, they referred to... man-made ancient dragons.

Under the recommendation of the Plunder Lizards, Rayne and Hela not only arrived at the residence of the City Lord of the underground city, but they also met the City Lord successfully.

The City Lord was an extremely short and bloated Plunder Lizard.

His limbs degenerated and were replaced by four crystal prosthetic limbs embedded with gems. They were pearly and exuded a wealthy aura.

After the Plunder Lizard that led the way said that Rayne wanted to buy a certain gem in his house and that this person was extremely extravagant…

The City Lord Plunder Lizard sensed a business opportunity keenly.

After a moment of consideration, the City Lord Plunder Lizard decided to agree to this deal.

"Tch…"

The City Lord Plunder Lizard nodded. Thereafter, he got his servants to entertain the two of them before returning to the residence.

He could not trust his servants. Therefore, every time he opened his treasure vault, he would do it personally.

Using his crystal prosthetic limbs, the City Lord Plunder Lizard arrived in the basement of his residence.

The residence where the City Lord resided was the legacy of their family.

The tightly protected basement of the lower level of the residence was a treasure vault that had been passed down in their family for generations.

Facing an impregnable crystal gate…

The City Lord began to unlock the gate slowly.

Voices, blood, passwords, brain waves, claw patterns… After checking a total of ten secret keys, the crystal gate finally opened slowly.
