Chapter 223: Seeing Wealth and Opening Eyes
The area of the hall is not small, and after what happened just now, everyone walked together and no longer left alone, so as not to be suspected by others, leaving a fireball everywhere they passed. After walking around all the places, the entire hall was also illuminated.
"There is only one entrance and exit to the cave, and this should be all the ruins, except for the table on the altar with only pens and no paper, there are only clay figurines everywhere, and this ruins are too poor. The meaning of Hogan's words is obvious, and the only discovery here is the book that Lin Qian "took".
Alan also regretted it a little, he thought that there was an enchantment here that controlled the entrant with strength, and there should be something important in it, but he didn't get anything, and this trip was in vain.
"Wait," Lin Qian called out to Allen, who wanted to go back, and said, "Have you noticed that these clay figurines are strange?"
"Isn't it just a clay figure, is it possible that you can still move?" Durroux immediately raised the bar.
Lin Qian smiled: "This is a ruin, it was built by someone, and after he built the ruins, he added a layer of enchantment and cloud magic array, just because he didn't want ordinary people to enter by mistake." He wanted to let in the best of the magic of the future generations and understand what he meant. Am I right?"
"Even if you're right, what's the matter with this empty hall?"
"The hall is not empty, there are altars, there are clay figurines, and that's the story he wants to tell us. Isn't it strange that you see, all the clay figurines are facing the altar, but they are not kneeling, but standing, and this is not like a worship, but rather a question?"
Everyone looked at these clay figures, and indeed what Lin Qian said made sense, Alan was a little convinced, and hurriedly asked, "Robin Sun Gongzi, what did you find?"
Lin Qian explained unhurriedly: "According to common sense, if a builder wants to leave some wealth for future generations, he will put it in a conspicuous place, such as the altar here. Let's assume that there is something good on the altar, but are these clay figurines questioned for this thing? You have also found that there is nothing on the table, and if it is not taken by the people who came in front of it, I think, it was taken by these clay figures. โ
Alan reacted suddenly, and with a backhand spell, he split one of the clay figurines.
"Sure enough, there's only one shell, and there's a book in it!" Alan found a book from the empty shell with four big words written on it: Ice Magic.
Seeing this, the others also broke the clay figurines, all of which had a book hidden in their bodies, and each one was different.
"This is ......" Lin Qian suddenly found that there was a clay figure that looked like an elf, and after waving his hand and breaking it, there was a copy of "Beast Taming Magic" inside.
"It turns out that the magic of the elves is only obtained by robbers, and they still say that it is the gift of the elven goddess. Lin Qian couldn't help but feel sad for the gods back then.
Soon all the clay figurines were shattered, and it turned out to be like a treasure trove of magic, containing all the branches of magic of the three major factions of arcane, nature, and summoning, which was a lot of wealth. Alan was overjoyed, it turned out that these secrets were actually on the most inconspicuous clay figure, and there were so many magic books out of thin air, and he didn't know what to do with it for a while.
"Fradai, do you say that the original god voluntarily surrendered his magic, or was he persecuted?" Lin Qian had no intention of partying with Alan and the others, and at this time he felt some sympathy for the god from the same world as him.
No one can force God to do anything, God must do it of His own free will. Fradai affirmed.
"Maybe. Lin Qian always felt that things were not so simple, and this matter could only be known when the resurrection of God was born.
"Robinson," said Allen, "I can't estimate the value of these books, but you found them all." How much you think it's worth, I'll pay you that. โ
Lin Qian nodded, suddenly smiled and said, "Do you think it is feasible for your family to revive by relying on these magic books alone?"
"This ...... Should...... Yes. "Alan isn't very sure, and it's still unknown if he can keep these things.
"Well, I bought all these books, 100,000 gold coins, plus a promise from me. What do you think?" Lin Qian suddenly put forward an opinion that no one expected.
"Promise?" Alan didn't understand what his promise was.
"I'll help you get the position of the city lord, but I won't make a move to other families, you may have to move the family to another city, do you think it's feasible?"
"Can you do it?" said Duru, sneering.
"Whether you can do it or not depends on whether Childe Allen trusts me or not. Lin Qian looked directly at Alan and said seriously.
"I believe that even if this can't be done, 100,000 gold coins will be enough for the family to rebuild, which is much better than these seemingly tempting but useless magic books. Alan replied firmly.
"In that caseโDale, take the money. Lin Qian took a thick stack of books from Allen's hand, took off his robe, wrapped the book, and learned to carry Du Lu on his shoulder.
Fradai took out a bundle of golden tickets from her bosom, counted ten, and handed them to Alan without the slightest distress, which seemed to her to be just a few pieces of paper, just some valuable paper. The crowd next to her stared at Fradai as she shoved back the remaining golden tickets, and there was a red glow in their eyes.
"I paid these people. Lin Qian took out the fragmentary gold tickets from his arms, and each of them gave a hundred gold coins, and distributed them as if they were calling flowers.
Originally, the reward of ten gold coins had increased tenfold in the blink of an eye, but these people always felt unbalanced in their hearts, and felt that Lin Qian seemed to have won all the treasures here for nothing without blood, and this trip was the most profitable for him.
"Wait!" Duru said first, "Deputy Commander Colin, I am willing to join your Iron-Blooded Mercenary Regiment. โ
"Good!" Colin was naturally happy to accept an S-class mercenary.
"But the deputy head of the regiment, there is a big deal in front of us, isn't the deputy head interested?" Du Lu stopped Lin Qian, who wanted to get out of the cave, and looked at him with bad intentions.
"Young man, you shouldn't have shown so much money. Curtis walked over to Lin Qian's side and reminded in a whisper, silently walking out of the cave.
"Dulu, what are you going to do?" Allen and Lin Qian stood together, glaring at Dulu, who had just been paid.
"Count me in, I've long seen this kid unpleasant. Hogan walked over to Durroux and stood next to him.
Colin hesitated for a moment, and finally ruthlessly, signaling all his mercenaries to surround Lin Qian.
"Mr. Allen, it's none of your business, I advise you to take the money and leave quickly. Otherwise...... Hmph, we won't have too many of these 100,000 gold coins. Duru said in a thick voice.
Lin Qian smiled miserably: "I didn't expect the dignified S-level mercenary to be so wealthy! I know what kind of people the huge guild raises." But Colin, you're carried away by money, don't hurt your brother. You have to know what the consequences will be if this matter is known to the guild, and your entire mercenary group may be implicated at that time. โ
Colin's face tightened, but then he thought of those golden tickets that he had never seen in his life, and he strengthened his inner thoughts, and said, "It's a big deal, I'll take the money and run away after I finish this thing!"
"Why should the deputy head be so worried? If we get rid of both of them, who will know that we did it? Even if we are suspicious, as long as we make up a good reason, the guild will not be able to do anything to us. And don't forget, those magic books are the magic weapon to strengthen our mercenary group, and when our iron-blooded mercenary group is big enough, the guild will also turn a blind eye. Hogan took the opportunity to persuade.
"What? you also want to join the mercenary group?" Du Lu is not very interested in this kind of villain who sees the wind and rudder, he was still neutral before, and in the blink of an eye, he took refuge in his side for money, and he was more ruthless than his own heart, even Alan did not let go.
"Of course, it's better than risking your life alone all day to make a living. "With his strength, where do you need to risk your life, it's just a temporary excuse.
Lin Qian looked at the mercenaries around him with interest, and asked loudly: "Are you all willing to bury the mercenary group with Colin?" Don't forget that he is only the deputy head of the group, think about it, if your head is here, will he do this, will he bury the mercenary group he has worked so hard to build for this money?"
"Shut up!" Seeing that he was still inciting, Durrou was afraid that Colin's mercenaries would be moved by him, and immediately threw a flash of fire out.
Lin Qian grabbed Fradai, who wanted to make a move, and waved his hand to counteract the opponent's attack, he hadn't made a move since Dacheng, and this time he could try his skills to his heart's content.
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and get rid of him!" Du Lu roared, if he didn't mobilize the crowd to besiege at this time, if he didn't have an opponent later, these mercenaries would be swaying again.
Colin knew that the situation at this time could no longer care about the identity of a magician, and also ordered: "Let's go together, I'll be responsible for what happens!"
Lin Qian shook his head, it's a pity that this kind of scum has appeared in a good mercenary group!
Those mercenaries who were originally stunned swarmed up, and all the magic was thrown at Lin Qian, and the scene became chaotic for a while. Alan also joined the fight, and with his skills he could barely deal with one, but it was a bit difficult to deal with two. He had already held the determination to die, but he was deeply unwilling, and he just had the hope of strengthening the family, but he didn't expect to die here.
Lin Qian protected himself with a shadow barrier, with his spiritual power, these magicians were difficult to break, and then dealt with them one by one like a joke, and the magicians who were originally high above were beaten by him. Alan was already injured and could no longer fight, so Lin Qian instructed Fradai to take care of him and face the attack of the other party's twelve people alone
"This Robinson is not simple, has it already been completed?" Colin looked at Lin Qian, who was calm and composed, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Let's get in the array, he's too strong!" Hogan suggested after dodging a dark purification.
The twelve men withdrew one after another, and formed a circle under the command of Colin, standing in groups of two and two on the six corners, forming a large siege array.
