Chapter 192: Treasure
"That's a shame~" I pretended to regret.
"It's okay, the meeting is fate, since that's the case, then don't bother, I wish you all a smooth journey."
"Each other~" We cherished each other, and then Tina left with her fellow magician, and when they were far away, the princess couldn't help but come to me and whispered.
"Do you think they can be trusted?"
"It's hard to say, it doesn't look like they're lying, but where is such a young "treasure hunter"?"
"By the way, Mr. Demon King, what is a treasure hunter?" Malfoy, who was standing next to me at this time, couldn't help but ask in a whisper.
"Oh, to put it simply, a group of treasure hunters, they search for those lost treasures according to the information obtained from various sources, sometimes they work for years and find nothing, but sometimes as long as they succeed in finding a sum of money, they can eat for several lifetimes, because this business requires all kinds of risks, so most of the treasure hunters themselves must also be skilled in the arts, there are many samurai, mages are tempted by high rewards to engage in this business, but this is the first time I have seen it at such a young age."
"Could it be someone from the Wizards' Guild?" Maria asked, being particularly vigilant from the moment the two men appeared as "iceberg deaths".
"I have to ask Xiao Jia, have you seen that mage named Nichole?"
Since deciding to return to Wizard Valley, Xiao Jia, who was originally cautious, has become particularly neurotic recently, and likes to hide behind everyone every time she goes to a crowded place, and this time is no exception.
"I haven't seen it, but there are thousands of members of the wizards' guild, and I can't recognize them all...
"You are asking this question in the first place, and the people of the Wizards Guild are not stupid, how can they send someone Xiao Jia knows?" At this time, Anton couldn't help but complain on the side.
I had long been accustomed to the poisonous tongue of the Dragon King, so I didn't care about it, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Anyway, everyone should be more careful." ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and then everyone went into their own rooms, because they were worried that they would become demons, and now Malfoy was a little afraid of life, and always felt that he was an outlier, only with a few of our acquaintances would be a little more natural, but after all, men and women are different and can't separate him and the princess together, so he basically lived in a room with me along the way, at first the beautiful boy was also a little nervous, after all, for ordinary people, lying next to a demon king, it is indeed a terrible thing, but after a long time, Now that we've gotten to know each other, Malfoy now seems quite relaxed and even a little intimate in front of me, after all, we both have similar experiences and have to face an uncertain future.
After entering the room, we simply packed our bags, and then sat down on our beds and chatted, Malfoy has been very fond of asking me all kinds of theological questions lately, and it is no wonder that after all, his worldview has just collapsed once, and now he is full of confusion about life, and he is eager to find answers, so I always answer his questions patiently, but as an orthodox probationary priest, Malfoy's knowledge of theology is higher than mine, although he is young. Many times he asked questions that I didn't even think about, which made the conversation a mutually enlightening process that was helpful for both of us.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark, and the two of us went downstairs to find something to eat, and when we arrived at the restaurant, we found that it was already full. As soon as I sat down, I noticed that Scarlett was not there, and I couldn't help but ask about Antonla, who lived in the same room with her.
"She's going to find out the news." The old dragon replied while munching on the roast chicken heroically.
'Sneaking?' I can't help but be a little confused.
"You'll find out when she comes back." Antonla couldn't help but smile meaningfully when he said this, which made me even more confused.
After about a cup of hot tea, the princess finally came back, only to see that she had changed into civilian clothes at some point, completely without the usual heroic spirit, but revealed a little charming, plus maybe drank a few more cups, her face showed a burst of redness, the whole person looked bright and incomprehensible, although I have known each other for so long, but at that moment I still looked a little crazy.
"Give!" At this time, Antonla, who was on the side, suddenly handed me a towel.
"What is this for?"
"Wipe your saliva, unproductive goods~"
Hearing Anton La say this, I couldn't help but subconsciously touch the corners of my mouth, but it turned out to be dry, and then I realized that I was teased by the other party, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed for a while, but I couldn't have a seizure yet, after all, it was a fact that I had a gaffe just now.
"Where did you just go?" To avoid embarrassment, I couldn't help but change the subject.
"Inquire about why so many mercenaries are gathered here."
"Got a result?"
"Of course, you just don't believe in my abilities?" The princess laughed, perhaps because she had had a few more drinks, and she looked a little excited.
"He's too convinced, so he's a little uneasy." At this time, Andongla on the side couldn't help but laugh, and I immediately glared at it.
"Okay, no kidding, what the hell is going on?" The old dragon king may also think that the joke is almost too much, and immediately turned to the topic.
"It's more complicated than we thought, have you heard of the Demon King's Treasure?"
"No," everyone shook their heads in unison, which naturally included me, a half-hung demon king.
"According to legend, before the Armageddon, the demon king in order to hide all the treasures he has collected over the years in one place, this matter is only known to it, so when it was finally sealed by the gods, this huge treasure has become a mystery for the ages, for a long time the gods and demons of the three worlds have wanted to find out this treasure for themselves, but no one has succeeded, and gradually this matter is like many other ancient legends that people are regarded as a joke, until recently... With the resurrection of the Demon King, this matter was brought up by the world again, and rumors spread all over the mainland that the Demon King led his men to search for their former treasures in the local area, although most of them were eventually confirmed to be rumors, but they aroused the attention of careerists from all walks of life, although they knew that it was impossible to compete with the Demon King with the power of mortals, but there were still a large number of people who went forward and threw themselves into the search for treasures, such as these people who are now gathered here..."
"It's... Where did you hear that?" After listening to the princess's narration, I couldn't help but be stunned for a long time, and finally I couldn't help but be surprised.
"Vades of Migariel, Balista of Jepiru, and the dragon over there!" The princess raised her glass into the distance as she spoke, and followed her gaze to see a beautiful man dressed in a distinctly agaru style smiling at us.
"But the question is, why don't I know about this?" I couldn't help but smile wryly.
"I don't know about this, anyway, the reason why so many people gather here is said to be because the treasure of the legendary demon king is hidden near here, guess where?"
"Red River Wasteland!" Before a few of us could speak, Maria on the side couldn't help but speak first.
