"Well, actually, the whole thing is like this..."Tina seemed to have no scruples when she heard her companion say this, and immediately put away her sword and told us the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"Our family originally served the Favali Kingdom for generations, because my father did not have a boy under his knees, so he raised me as a boy since I was a child, hoping that I would inherit the family business in the future, but just a few years ago, the Duke of Cabayero, who was in charge of the government, suddenly launched a rebellion, overthrew the royal orthodoxy, and established himself as a king, as a knight, of course, this is not tolerated, so I and my father and a large number of nobles loyal to the royal family formed the "Restoration Army", hoping to crusade against the rebels and restore orthodoxy, but unfortunately Cabayero's strength is too strongIn order to escape the pursuit, but also to find an opportunity to help the Restoration Army make a comeback, I left Favali and began to wander around, because the entanglement was quickly spent, I had to worry about my livelihood, as a knight's consciousness made me disdain to engage in mercenary such a "cheap business", but I would not do anything other than fighting, so in the end I chose to become a "treasure hunter", I didn't waste my skills or turn my back on being a knight, but it was during this time that I met Nichole and learned about the "treasure" from her..."

"So that map is actually yours?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder at Nicole.

"Strictly speaking, it should belong to my master...", Nichole smiled sadly, and judging from her expression, it seemed that there was another story behind it.

"My master's name is Teixeira, according to his own words, he was originally a high-level mage affiliated with the Wizards' Guild, about twenty years ago, the guild began to start a huge secret project in order to deal with the legendary upcoming "Doomsday Judgment", my master was also recruited to participate in it as the elite of the guild at that time, at first the master felt both honored and excited about this, and felt that he was participating in a "great cause", but soon the master found that the whole thing was completely different from what he imagined, and the plan was too terrible, At first, the master tried to persuade the elders to abandon the plan, but to no avail, his own life was threatened, in order to protect himself, the master ventured out of the wizards' guild on a stormy night, and when he left, he copied part of the plan, including the map, and then he absconded to the Mazzola Mountains in the Western Continent, where he hid until he became seriously ill a few years ago, When he was dying, he passed it to me and told me that there was a "treasure that could change the world" buried here, and that I must keep it before I died." When Nicole said this, his eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly, and it seemed that he remembered his deceased master...

"So then you came out to find this legendary treasure?" Maria had been listening to Tina and the two of them quietly like all of us before, and to say that the "Iceberg Death" was indeed worthy of its name, she was always expressionless throughout the whole process, and seemed to be indifferent to the story of these two people at all, no, it felt like she didn't believe it at all, until then she suddenly interjected and asked.

"No, the master took care of me not to look for this treasure, otherwise it may lead to death, so at first I didn't have the idea of treasure hunting, until one day a group of people found me, at first they inquired about the whereabouts of the master, and after learning that he had died, they were all quite disappointed, at that time I thought they were the master's old friends, but then their topic focused on the treasure and the map, and the attitude became more and more vicious, I noticed that the situation was not good, So I lied and said I didn't know, and then I found a chance to slip away, and these people found out that they were chasing after each other, and it took me a lot of effort to finally get rid of them, and I couldn't go back to my home, and my parents died early, and there were no relatives and friends to run to, so I wanted to see what the secret treasure that those guys were so desperate to get was like, and it was on the way that I met Tina, and we felt like we could talk about it, so we went together, and then I met you."

"That's the truth about you?" Ash asked, visibly suspicious.

"It's true, I don't need to lie to you now."

Ash couldn't help but bow his head when he heard this, as if analyzing the credibility of Nicole's words, and the other orcs couldn't help but whisper on the side, as if they were all talking about it. In fact, it's not just them, even our side is skeptical about this matter, although I personally have a good impression of these two girls, but after all, they haven't been together for a long time, and people are separated by a ground, who knows if it's true or not, but when it comes to the wizarding guild, I can't help but look at Xiao Jia on the side, who saw me looking at her, immediately understood, and leaned up and whispered: "I think what the two of them said should be true."

"Have you heard of Teixeira?"

"No, but after all, it was twenty years ago, and if what they said was true, then the patriarch would probably erase all of his information to prevent the secret from leaking."

"Also, in order to deal with you, they were able to concoct an unjust case in just a few days, and this long time is enough time to erase the traces of a person's existence."

"But I think the plan she talked about may have something to do with the secret I discovered in the first place."

"You mean the guild leaders secretly study the dark arts?"

"Well, haven't you analyzed it before? The guild's research on black magic is by no means an overnight thing, there must be an ulterior motive behind it, isn't all this in line with what Nichole just said? And the evil aura here is so heavy, and there is a big secret about the demon clan hidden, if the secret treasure mentioned in that treasure map really refers to these, then the whole thing will be completely connected."

"But what exactly is that so-called "secret treasure"?

"I don't know, why don't you ask Nichole?"

"From what she just said, she doesn't seem to know what that secret treasure is, but I'm sure it has something to do with the big stone pillar over there."

"You mean the treasure is in that stone pillar?"

"Probably so."

"Then you just identify yourself, and then Ash and they should tell us what the treasure is."

"Silly girl!" Before I could speak, the princess on the side suddenly interjected.

"Whether these fellows are friends or foes has not yet been clarified, and if they are in league with Gragon, or if they have other plans, aren't we self-defeating?"

I couldn't help but nod when I heard this: "The princess is right, the situation is unclear now, in short, let's wait and see what happens."

A few of us were muttering quietly, and Tydamir seemed to be a little impatient, and walked up to Ash's side and said, "Ash, I always feel that what this group of humans say is not true, and it is better to detain them all just in case."
