Capítulo 2887: Chapter 1580: Deep Within the Corridor_2

“Your Majesty, what on earth is going on?”

Watching the figure walk away, Lila’s brows furrowed even deeper.

It wasn’t just Lila; Fei’er, Moli, Hollis, and others were also casting their gazes over.

If the initial behavior of the gatekeeper Deerman general and the guide Deerman elder only caused some confusion, the scene of Deerpeople eating recklessly, almost crazily, currently exceeded the normal realm.

Even so, neither the Deerman clan leader nor the other Deerman elders present seemed to find it strange; they even joined in, thinking it was completely normal.

This contrast, along with a series of discordant feelings and mysterious shadows, made this place increasingly confusing and perplexing.

“Things are indeed very odd, so we need more information.”

Leo Ray walked to the table and picked up a piece of Starfall Sect pastry; its crispy outer layer shattered with just a pinch, making it seem mouth-wateringly tempting.

However, Leo Ray wouldn’t eat amid such an environment; he was just trying to blend into the frenzy.

Seeing Leo Ray’s actions, others followed suit, and thus, the surrounding Deerpeople who cast curious glances shifted their focus and no longer paid attention to the out-of-place group.

“Your Majesty, what should we do next?”

Lila elegantly held up a goblet, but upon seeing the Deerpeople’s careless toast movements, she became a bit more casual.

“Do you remember that corridor leading to the right side of the castle?”

Leo Ray first instructed everyone to silently activate the soundproof barrier, then, while smelling the rich butter aroma from the warm Starfall Sect pastry before him, nodded slightly and said, “I’m afraid the answer lies there; the Grand Elder’s expression has explained it all.”

“The counterpart’s actions just now were indeed extraordinary, for before, it was merely an ordinary road, and the last time I was received there.”

Lila nodded thoughtfully, then wondered aloud, “Perhaps it’s been transformed into a Treasure Vault now? How is Your Majesty sure the problem lies there?”

After Lila spoke, others also cast puzzled glances over.

Because the Banquet Hall was inherently noisy, coupled with the Deerpeople’s refocused attention on food, even though we quietly activated the soundproof barrier, it didn’t draw attention.

“Remember the mysterious shadow we initially saw? Its last appearance was in that corridor regarded as a forbidden area by the counterpart.”

Leo Ray shook off the crispy pastry crumbs from his palm and hinted, “And its departing direction was deeper into the corridor.”

“Your Majesty, are you saying that the mysterious shadow is guiding us further down the corridor?”

Fei’er immediately understood and blurted out, “That means, the purpose of the mysterious shadow wasn’t to warn us, but it was trying to convey something?”

“That’s the only reasonable explanation.”

Leo Ray recalled multiple times the vague murmurs that echoed around him and mused, “If the mysterious shadow is with the Deerman clan leader and elders, it wouldn’t guide us to their intensely guarded forbidden area.”

Leo Ray clearly understood that if the counterpart wasn’t trying to convey something, the murmurs wouldn’t have appeared.

Most critically, after repeatedly pondering, he finally understood the meaning behind the murmurs, the repeated phrase “Bang Bang Ohm,” which seemed to mean “Help Us.”

This undoubtedly suggests that this eerily strange Deerman territory does indeed hide some unknown secrets, possibly fatal, and the urgent and pleading murmurs are the best proof.

Thinking about this, Leo Ray nodded slightly and continued, “Although we don’t know the stance of the mysterious shadow or why it chose to guide us, after this series of experiences, it’s almost certain that the counterpart is not our opponent, or it wouldn’t have appeared voluntarily.”

“Makes sense, no wonder you’re you!”

Moli took a bite of the Starfall Sect pastry and said, enlightened, “In that case, the depth of the corridor, the closed-off Reception Hall, must be where the answer lies!”

“Pink Hooded cap, why did you eat the other’s food?”

Kira asked, surprised, while brightly opening her eyes toward Moli.

“If they can eat it, why can’t I?”

Moli, savoring the taste, smiled lightly and raised her brows, “It’s indeed very nice, arguably the top-tier cuisine, are you sure none of you want to try?”

“We don’t have your leisure joy.”

Leo Ray smiled helplessly, then instructed everyone, “In any case, the Moon Shadow Deer People’s realm is full of discord, whether the clan leader, elders, or the excessively eating Deerpeople Nobility, they all seem bewitched; to get them on our side, we must find out what’s really happening here.”

Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, everyone nodded in agreement.

We initially thought our journey to the Moon Shadow Deer People’s realm would be smooth sailing, especially considering the Moon Shadow Deer People’s deep grudge against the Broken Wing King, yet unexpectedly, such an incredible scene unfolded.

“So, these frantic Deerpeople do seem bewitched alike.”

Moli finished the last piece of crispy Starfall Sect pastry, then frowned while licking her fingers, “There might as well be a pseudo divine hall here just like with the Fishmen?”

“We’ll know soon; what we need to do now is wait for the moment.”

Leo Ray nodded at everyone and then looked at the surrounding Deerpeople still engrossed in overeating.

At this time, including Terry, many Deerpeople were already burping incessantly, appearing tottering.

When the clamor of this Banquet subsides, that’s certainly the time for our actions since these Deerpeople haven’t ceased their consumption from the beginning.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for these Deerpeople to lie scattered about, even the attending servants and nearby guards took the opportunity to indulge, soon falling drunk.

“Let’s begin.”

Seeing Terry and the guiding Grand Elder also settling into deep sleep, Leo Ray’s group had quietly left the Banquet Hall.

Retracing the route back, the group soon arrived at the crossroads of the castle corridor.

Along the way, although the group encountered some Deerman guards, they were easily lulled to sleep by Leo Ray and didn’t encounter any obstacles.

“Hehe, the Deerman elder insisted we avoid this corridor, then we must enter and see for ourselves!”

Moli, with her chest puffed, boldly led the way.

Of course, Moli wasn’t foolhardy; energy subtly rose around her, and her big eyes revealed caution, obviously detecting any magic traps.

Beside Moli, Fei’er, Kira, and Bruce were also highly alert, scrutinizing everything ahead.

Fortunately, there were no magic traps along the way, nor any guards; following the long castle corridor, the group soon arrived at a tightly closed metal door.

Judging from the dense magic flow light flickering across its surface, it was clearly a formidable Magic Restriction.

Upon seeing this, Leo Ray, with an expression of expectedness, nodded to Fei’er and the half-step Tier 7 Magic-type Strong Persons.

For others, this might be a difficult barrier, but for the current us, it posed no trouble.

Soon, with a clear “Crack” sound, the metal door slowly opened before everyone’s eyes.
