Although Lin Xun regarded the administrator himself as the biggest suspect, he could never figure out what his motive was.

Why should the difficulty of the test be suddenly increased? Why should Frenda and Kim continue to stay on the war front after he passed the test?

At this time, the two plot characters returned from the test, and Kim immediately told Lin Xun about the contents of the test.

Regarding the request made by 'Solons', Kim was confused.

Saurons asked them to find a collateral descendant named 'Assad' and take 'Assad' away from Hallownest.

There was information about this collateral descendant in the Mask Master plot.

The subconscious mind born from the aura of evil thoughts erased all traces of 'Assad's existence, causing everyone to forget about it.

The Master of Masks even forgot where Assad was in Hallownest.

Due to the separation of the consciousness network, Frenda can still remember that there is a collateral descendant named Assad.

But the wet nurse has many collateral children, and Assad is just an ordinary member of them.

As the most favored direct descendant, Flanda had never paid any special attention to Assad. She only remembered his name and did not know any more information about this collateral descendant.

【……】

[‘Franda’ shook her head, indicating that she could not recall any useful information about ‘Assad’. 】

[It tells you that although it does not recall useful information, it can analyze some clues from the request made by 'Solons'. 】

[The Wet Nurse summoned the children on the front line to retreat to Hallownest, but ‘Solons’ stayed on the front line and refused to return to Hallownest. 】

[This can be explained by the fact that ‘Solons’ has long been resentful of the wet nurse. However, this explanation seems correct, but in fact it is full of loopholes. 】

[No matter how powerful ‘Solons’ is, it is no match for the Wet Nurse. Isn’t it afraid of the Wet Nurse’s punishment? 】

[Unless it knows that the price paid for returning to Hallownest is far more terrible than the punishment. Only by staying on the front line can it have a chance of survival...]

[It does not dare to return to Hallownest, because once it returns to Hallownest, the wet nurse who is giving birth to a new heir will be able to control its life and death through the consciousness network. No one wants to experience the fear of being controlled by others. 】

[‘Saulens’ must have known about the changes that happened in Hallownest. 】

[The reason why the two of them were able to survive from 'Solons' should be that it had felt that its former sister had broken away from the consciousness network and became an independent existence, and could move freely in Hallownest without fear of the wet nurse's consciousness control...]

[So ‘Solons’ did not return to Hallownest himself, but appointed the two of them to achieve some ulterior purpose for him...]

[‘Kim’ suddenly realized it and murmured, “That’s it, it’s realized it!”

"What did you realize?"

Lin Xun couldn't help but complain.

The information currently inferred may explain Solons' actions, but his intentions remain a mystery.

He knew that 'Assad' had become a half-dead evil creature, perhaps more appropriately called an evil plant.

Why did this seemingly unimportant collateral descendant attract the attention of Saurons, and why did Saurons want to take it away from Hallownest?

There must be secrets hidden in Assad. If we can find this collateral heir, we may be able to figure out Sorens' intentions.

However, the three of them don't know where Assad is. Hallownest is so big that trying to find someone in it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

When it comes to location information, Frenda did give some clues.

The heir's residence is set according to his strength or degree of favor. The closer to the ninth floor of Hallownest's center, the stronger the heir's strength is, or the more important his status in the wet nurse's heart.

‘Assad’ is an insignificant collateral descendant, and its residence is most likely on the sixth level of Hallownest.

If it is relatively strong, it is not impossible to promote its residence to the seventh level of Hallownest.

At this time, the three of them are on the seventh floor. If they want to find 'Assad' quickly, the best way is to split up...

[The ‘librarian’ puts his hand into his robe, takes out a bookmark and hands it to you. He tells you that this is the reward for the two plot characters who passed the test. 】

[You have obtained the ‘Guidance Bookmark’*1]

['Guide Bookmark' (prop): The most important thing in the world is not where you are, but in which direction you are walking. Using this prop, you can randomly open a hidden place in the chapter you are in.

location, and learn its specific location.]

The moment Lin Xun saw this bookmark that he had never seen before, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"So that's the case. This may be the reason why the administrator allows the two plot characters to continue to participate in the test!"

He felt that he had captured some key information.

The administrator who never interfered with the apostle's game process suddenly intervened in the test. It seemed that the difficulty of the test was greatly increased and he was cheated once. In fact, this was not the case.

Through the follow-up content of the test, he learned important clues about the plot, and even received obvious boosting props such as 'guidance bookmarks'.

The meaning of the administrator's identity is self-evident.

Lin Xun clicked on the 'Guide Bookmark' without hesitation. Before using this prop, he had already vaguely guessed where the bookmark would lead.

[You used ‘guide bookmarks’!]

【……】

[You have opened the hidden location of ‘Assad’s Palace’ and learned its specific location! 】

"it is as expected!"

[‘Librarian’ tells you that he has completed his mission and it is time to say goodbye. 】

[There were many accidents during the test, but the final result was still good...]

[The ‘Librarian’ waved goodbye to you, then chanted a spell, and his body gradually faded and disappeared. 】

[With his departure, the stacks of bookshelves and books in the library also disappeared, leaving only the three of you in the room.]

[Only the old voice echoes... Apostle, I wish you a smoother journey of salvation. 】

[Although ‘Flanda’ can’t see the administrator, she can see the bookshelf disappear. 】

[It asked, Oathkeeper, has the god you believe in left? 】

[You nod and tell 'Flanda' that God has told you the location of 'Assad's Palace'. The collateral heir is not on the sixth floor of Hallownest, but on the seventh floor where you are now.

】

[Kim, who had been crowded at the door of the library and couldn't get in, was overjoyed and said quickly, what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly. It doesn't want to break the oath it made to the 'Firefly'. 】

[You and ‘Flanda’ leave the library. As you leave, the library and the wooden door disappear behind you. 】

[From the original position of the door frame, only the flesh and blood inner wall of the 'Angel's Nest' can be seen, and there are no traces of the library anymore...]

【……】

The three of them left the 'Angel's Nest', and Lin Xun followed the prompts of the underworld game and headed towards the location of 'Assad's Palace'.

The seventh floor of Hallownest occupies a much smaller area than the outermost floor, but it still has the scale of a large city. It took a few people a long journey to reach their destination.

【……】

[The building in front of you is as tall as the spire-shaped residences around it. It is the most common architectural style among the seven floors of Hallownest, and there is no difference at all. 】

[And the ‘Assad’s Palace’ you feel is in this minaret building...]

[Ignoring ‘Kim’s’ surprised expression, you step forward and slowly open the minaret door...]

[From the outside, there are at least five or six-story spires, but there are no floor barriers inside. You can see the high dome at a glance. 】

[The area inside the minaret is not large, but it looks extremely empty. Apart from the four walls and columns, there is nothing else inside. 】

[‘Frenda’ realized something was wrong here, so she protected you behind her, and took the initiative to walk around the four walls of the room, but found nothing unusual. 】

['Kim' squeezed outside the gate for a long time without squeezing in. He was about to use scorpion pliers to open the door wider. When he saw 'Frenda' and found nothing, he couldn't help but give up the demolition and said to you...

…]

[Obviously there is nothing here. Did you remember the wrong location? How about you think about it again? 】

[You ignored ‘Kim’’s joke and walked straight to the deepest part of the room...]

[When you reach the deepest point, there is nothing but thick walls in front of you.]

[You take a deep breath and suddenly wave your claws towards the wall!]

[The tip of the claw sinks into the wall without touching the real thing. As the claw penetrates, the wall in front of him disappears without a trace like a bubble that has been punctured...]

[At this moment, some evil thoughts quietly arise from the bottom of your heart, but the total amount of evil thoughts is not large and cannot have much impact on you.]

[A huge space of oppressive darkness appears in front of you.]

[Not far away, the originally magnificent and gorgeous palace was entangled by endless rich black energy, like a giant beast trapped in a cage and struggling to its death. 】

[The connection between the dark space and the indoor floor is clearly black and white, just like two different-colored building blocks put together. 】

[Before you entered the minaret, you paid attention to the nearby terrain. The space inside the minaret was obviously far from being able to accommodate the heir's bedroom, and the minaret was not connected to other buildings, let alone hiding such a huge building.】

[According to common sense, this space and the palace cannot appear here at all...]

['Flanda' looked at the drifting dark aura, suppressed her shock, and signaled that there must be huge dangers in the palace, so she should go in first to take a look.]

[Speaking of which, it is about to step into the dark space...]
