I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Some people in the crowd began to whisper to each other: "Wow, such an important thing was delivered smoothly, this person is really not simple."

Aiden looked closely for a moment, then turned to everyone and suggested, "Since everyone has no objection, let's welcome Reynolds to the team!"

Just as everyone was gradually adapting to this change, the mysterious little boy once again broke the silence: "Alright, now please follow my guidance. Remember, no matter what happens, don't panic..."

After passing through a long and complex tunnel, they finally arrived at the door of a huge secret chamber. Strange symbols were carved into the door, emitting a faint red glow in the gloom. It possessed a captivating power that captivated everyone from the moment they laid eyes on it.

Just as everyone was shocked by what they saw, a timid travel companion said tremblingly: "Is this the place we are looking for? It looks scary..." The worry in her voice obviously affected some of the more sensitive people around her.

On the other side, a more adventurous character said excitedly: "Hey, look at that door, isn't it interesting! I guess there must be an amazing secret behind it!" His optimistic attitude quickly eased the heavy atmosphere.

Faced with this situation, the man in black remained calm and cold: "No matter what's inside, we will find a way to deal with it."

Reynolds stepped forward and gently touched the ancient yet incredibly sturdy door. "It must be made of some special material, covered with layers of ancient magical protection. Ordinary strength can't easily open it. It requires the correct ritual or code."

Arya looked at him thoughtfully, then took out the manuscript she carried with her. "There might be a record here about how to open the door. Let me check if there's any clue."

After a few minutes, she suddenly looked up, her eyes gleaming. "I've found it! There's a passage here describing the steps to unlock a similar mechanism..." Following the instructions in the manuscript, the group began the complex and delicate process. Each completed step resulted in subtle changes, until finally, with a soft click, the door slowly opened.

As the first ray of light poured into the room from the gap, it revealed endless treasures and extremely precious cultural relics, which were dazzling.

However, the good times didn't last long. Just as everyone was immersed in surprise and joy, something unexpected happened. "Be careful!" Thrall growled, and at the same time, a figure quickly approached from a dark corner...

"Who's spying over there?!" The soldiers quickly stood up, alert, ready to fight any new enemies that might appear. At this moment, the child, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, be careful, the real test has just begun..."

Just as the tension reached its peak, the unknown figure slowly emerged from the light—it was another competitor looking for the same goal.

Before they could exchange a few words of greeting, dissatisfied voices were heard from the competitors' team: "Hey, how come these guys got there first? What should we do now?" Obviously, there were many internal conflicts among them.

At the same time, Carol, who was standing aside and silently observing the development of the situation, looked back at Arya and the other teammates and whispered, "It seems that it is unlikely to divide this wealth equally. So... how should we decide our next move?" Her question was like a time bomb hanging in the air, waiting for everyone's choice.

As soon as Carol finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room froze. Everyone's eyes darted back and forth between each other, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

"We have finally found this place, how can we let you take away these treasures so easily?" A tall man in the competitor's team said gritting his teeth, his hand unconsciously touching the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Thrall stood at the front of the team, showing no sign of weakness. "Since you all come here for the same purpose, let's follow the rules. Either negotiate peacefully, or we'll speak with strength!"

As the two sides confronted each other, Arya gently touched Carol's arm and whispered, "Carol, what are your plans? The situation is not optimistic now."

Carol pondered for a moment before answering, "First, we need to confirm their background and capabilities. We must also be prepared to respond to any unexpected situation."

At the same time, the red-haired girl stepped forward, sizing up the competitors with sharp eyes, and asked provocatively, "What? Are you scared? Or do you simply have no real skills?"

This action immediately caused a commotion among the other side, and one of the mages responded angrily: "Little girl, you are so arrogant! Wait and see how I deal with you!"

Suddenly, the little boy who had been observing silently interrupted the conversation. "Wait! This will only hurt both sides, and in the end, no one will get what they want." He continued firmly, "Why don't we discuss whether we can find a win-win solution?"

Reynolds nodded in agreement and added, "That's a good suggestion. After all, there's enough wealth here for everyone to share. Instead of fighting to the death, it's better to help each other solve the problem."

At this time, an elderly man passing by overheard the discussion. He smiled and interrupted, "Children, many things in this world require more than just fighting. Sometimes, taking a step back can reveal a different perspective."

Hearing this, the leader of the competitors hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, we can sit down and talk."

The two teams gradually eased the tension and began to discuss in detail how to divide the treasure. During this time, some passers-by also expressed their opinions:

-"Actually, this isn't a bad idea. Only when everyone calms down can we come up with a better solution!"

- "I didn't expect there would be such a harmonious picture... It feels pretty good!"

-"If they can reach a consensus, we can also benefit."

Just when both sides seemed to have found a solution, suddenly, a faint and eerie voice was heard again in the secret room, "Hey, hey, hey... the game is not over yet... more tests are waiting for you..."

These words shot through the entire crowd like an electric current, sending a chill down everyone's spine. The competitor's leader's expression suddenly changed, and he cursed under his breath, "Damn it! Here we go again!"
