Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the wasteland, there are overgrown weeds, and numerous bones can be seen everywhere.

    Under the protection of a dozen mercenaries, a small business group shuttled through this dangerous area and headed towards the Kingdom of Buriana.

    This wasteland is the junction of the Kingdom of Holm and the Kingdom of Buriana. It is surrounded by mountains and is full of magical creatures. Moreover, there are rumors that the "Governor of the Great Holm Region" was nearby hundreds of years ago.  The territory of the Disaster King Viken - he is not stationed in Rentat like the previous and subsequent governors, but is conducting his own experiments on the edge of Arthur's empire. Therefore, this place in the wasteland  On the planet, there are many strange creatures, which are said to be defective products from Viken's experiments back then.

    Of course, after Viken disappeared, none of the powerful magicians, including several of his disciples, found his "demiplane entrance" here, so no one knew why he disappeared, and no one got his inheritance.  and magic items.

    Many magicians lamented this. A magician who was said to be close to the peak of legend, a master of bloodline research, must have unimaginable wealth and knowledge in his demiplane, but it was lost to time.  in the long river.

    "There are always many similar stories. Even today, there are many adventurers wandering in the wilderness and deep mountains who want to get Viken's treasure." Hassan, the deputy captain of the mercenary team, said to his subordinates with both contempt and yearning.  , "They don't have to think about it. Even if the goddess of luck bless them, do they really find the entrance to Viken's demiplane and have the strength to get the treasure from it?"

    "Viken's title is the 'King of Disaster', and he is good at bloodline research and body transformation. I dare to bet with this bag of wine that there are definitely mutant monsters with close to legendary strength in his demiplane and magic tower. Tsk, maybe Weiken  Ken¡¯s demiplane has been discovered long ago, but those people have become food for monsters.¡±

    His subordinate was a gentle and handsome young man. His expression changed darkly and uncertainly before he forced a smile and said: "They were all blinded by the light of the treasure and swallowed up their wisdom."

    "Oliver, you are always so interesting when you talk. You are worthy of being a bard." Hassan patted the shoulder of the boy next to him.

    After getting along with him for three or four months, he discovered that Oliver could talk.  Can do things.  Apart from the fact that he likes to hang out with women, he is a rare good subordinate, but then again, a man who chooses to be a mercenary.  Who doesn't like hanging out with women?  certainly.  Except for those perverts who like males.

    At this time.  Grigra, the captain of the mercenary team, said with a cold face: "Don't discuss this kind of thing near the caravan in the future, be careful of being overheard by the night watchman."

    ¡°We are just telling legends and stories.¡± Hassan replied angrily, what the hell does this have to do with the Night Watch?

    Grigra snorted: "I heard from the nobles in the caravan. During this period of time, the night watchmen have been crazy. Many mercenaries were burned to death as evil people just because they discussed the legend of magicians wantonly.  "

    "Really or not?" Hassan was shocked, and Oliver, who was thinking about his own thoughts next to him, couldn't believe it. It was true that the night watchmen were crazy, but when did they become so crazy?

    "You'll know when you try it." Grigra casually answered Hassan's question that he didn't expect the answer to, and then gave Oliver a meaningful look, still wary of this new member who had only joined the team for a few months.  He must be hiding something, maybe he is an important fugitive. If it were not confirmed that he has nothing to do with the magician and does not have the most basic apprentice-level mental fluctuations, he would have tied this guy up and sent him to the tribunal. Only by being careful can he survive.  Longer!

    Captain, does he doubt me?  Oliver shrank his neck, lowered his head, and secretly decided to leave the team before the "journey" was over.

    Ever since Rentat escaped, he has fallen into a dangerous and tense life. Although he is just an ordinary murderer and has nothing to do with magicians, so he cannot enjoy the treatment of being hunted by the night watchman, but various mercenaries, adventurers, and sheriffs are still  Several times he had to fight head-on.

    Fortunately, after going through many hardships, he was no longer a rookie who knew nothing. He taught himself a lot of fighting skills, and because he was smart, he always carried various strange powders with him. He was able to escape the danger and escaped to the Kingdom of Holm.  In the border area, he began to "renew his life" - a small murderer like him was not yet qualified to enjoy the treatment of being wanted by the entire region. After arriving in a remote place, he naturally gained safety.

    The various dangers he experienced during this period told him that without strength, he could only wait for death, so he, who had abandoned the God of Truth, really started to try meditation!

    But as of today, he still has not entered the meditation environment described.

    In this regard, he is not panic or frustrated, because according to the record on the staff, it takes six months to two years for a person with good talent to control the spirit and enter that blank and ethereal state, and he can?Just tried meditation for over four months.

    "But what are the four elements of earth, fire, feng shui? How do they make up so many things?" As a young man who is interested in drama, Oliver's thinking has always been divergent, so he was thinking about the things that came out of learning meditation while walking.  All kinds of inexplicable problems.

    After the caravan moved forward for a while, Captain Grigla looked at the surrounding environment, announced the camp, and arranged for Oliver and others to keep watch.

    It was midsummer, but there was still a cold wind blowing over the wilderness, making people feel like it was late autumn and making them feel chilly.

    Oliver sat by the fire, looking at the stars in the sky, and thinking about his own thoughts: According to the record on the staff, the location of the treasure is nearby!

    He had already seen the obvious strange rock, the blood red rock that looked like a creeping demon.

    He fled all the way in this direction, definitely not without purpose!

    Hassan's previous words caused a turmoil in his heart, and he almost thought that he was looking for the demiplane entrance of "Disaster King" Viken. Fortunately, his mind was still clear, and he knew the gap between legend and reality, so he temporarily set his target.  A certain magician who once lived here - a magician who settled here in search of Viken's treasure.

    The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the wind was getting colder and colder. The other two mercenaries on patrol came back and kicked Oliver on the body: "Get up, it's your turn!"

    They stretched out their hands towards the fire, showing a contented expression.

    Oliver held the dagger in his hand and smiled at his companion: "Shall I patrol here first?"

    "What's there to argue about" The mercenary muttered, shook his head, turned and walked to the other side.

    After patrolling to a secluded place, the smile on Oliver's face suddenly disappeared, he gripped the dagger tightly, left the camp directly, and sneaked towards the strange rock.

    "It takes ten minutes to change the patrol area. You must enter the place where the treasure is before then" Oliver was highly concentrated and had an unprecedented level of clarity.

    Three minutes later, he reached the strange stone without attracting the attention of the Night Watch mercenary. He reached out and rubbed something in the gap between the stone and the ground.

    A minute passed with no discovery, another minute passed with still no discovery, dense cold sweat gradually broke out on Oliver's forehead, but the more nervous he became, the more awake he became, and his movements were not stiff or panicked at all.

    Suddenly, his face lit up, and he moved his hands faster, digging out a lot of soil in the cracks, then took out the crystal blue staff and stretched it in.

    There was a crisp sound, and the staff seemed to be embedded in something metal. Then, a faint blue light came out from the gap, dyeing the nearby weeds weirdly.

    ??????????????? Silently, a cave opened in the wasteland ground behind the strange rocks, which was paved with dark gray stone bricks.

    Oliver took out his staff, entered the cave in three steps and two steps at a time, and ran wildly towards the depths, because according to the records of the staff, there was a mechanism inside that closed the entrance, which also needed to be activated, and he had to be there before the mercenary  Get all this done before coming here so that you can get through safely.

    ¡°Click, click, click, footsteps echoed in the passage, and Oliver saw the rotunda in front of him.

    There are several stone rooms scattered around the rotunda. The doors are wide open, and you can see clearly inside. Some are filled with strange and almost broken plants, some are full of bookshelves, and some are piled with dazzling gems. The light and shadow are blurred.  , so beautiful, like a dream.

    "Heilan Stone Sun Stone Cryolite" As an ordinary person, Oliver's eyes were naturally attracted by the brilliant light for the first time, as deep blue as sea water, as golden as the sun, and as clear as ice.  Together, let¡¯s ¡°engrav¡± the word ¡°treasury¡± into the room.

    "Get rich" Oliver had seen similar gems in the lady's house, so he naturally understood how precious they were.

    "Haha, you're rich!" A rough voice sounded behind Oliver.

    Oliver turned around in shock, just in time to see Captain Grigra walking toward him with a long sword in hand, looking excited and greedy.

    "Captain" he shouted blankly.

    Grigra laughed and said: "Yes, I know you have a problem. I have been thinking about kicking you out of the team when the mission is over. But I didn't know you were a good problem. Thank you for letting me get this treasure. Haha, I am alive."  In more than thirty years, I have never seen so many gems!¡±

    "Thank you Lord for your blessing and allowing me to not forget to pay attention to you. Thank you for leading the way and allowing me to find the treasure. Therefore, in order to express my gratitude, I allow you to die here." He drew a cross on his chest, intending to keep the secret to himself  !

    ??Oliver held the short sword and short staff, and fell back in horror.He had no confidence in defeating the captain who was only one step away from becoming a knight.

    Grigra calculated the time, decided not to delay any longer, and rushed over with his long sword.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
