At three o'clock in the afternoon, Charles, still dressed as an adventurer, put on a mask and a ring and arrived at Linda's house.

Linda's residence is next to the Golden Palace, which belongs to the annex side hall of the palace, and is extremely heavily guarded.

It's close to the Golden Palace, and if Linda were to stage a coup d'état, she could launch "Charles Conscience Change" into Antoine II's office from the balcony of her study.

Charles borrowed the locker room here to change into the adventurer's outfit, and when he came out, he found Diana outside the door.

"Yo, you're waiting for me?" said Charles.

Diana glanced at him and said, "I'm just here to see if any perverts have stolen the clothes in the locker room." ”

Charles's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes widened and said, "Why are you so innocent out of thin air......

The two of them walked towards the garden, where the awning had been set up and snacks and drinks were placed on the long table.

Charles asked Diana, "Do you know what show Linda is going to do this time?"

"I don't understand. Diana replied, "She's keeping it a secret, as if she's found a treasure." ”

Charles spun around his mind and said, "Why don't we make a bet......"

"Don't talk!" Diana refused on the spot, "Looking at the way you dressed just now, you must have heard some news, what is the difference between betting and fraud with the advantage of information asymmetry?" ”

Charles could only reluctantly give up his plan to pit Diana.

Then Diana asked, "Did you hear any interesting news just now?"

Charles smiled "hehe" and said, "There's a gossip about you, do you listen to it?"

This time it was Diana's turn to darken her face, and she said: "If it's the one I talked to Antoine II secretly for a while, and then someone thinks that I am going to be Linda's stepmother, and then I monopolize the court, exile the prince, make you and Linda's child king, and finally listen to the news of politics and so on." ”

Charles was stunned for a moment and said, "Lafayette is wise, but the current news is only as far as the stepmother." ”

Diana glanced at Charles and said, "If you really get to that point, isn't the subsequent development a certainty?"

"Shh......hhh ”

At this time, the two of them found a place in the garden to sit on the edge and watched Linda in the middle of the garden receive visitors.

Just as the guests were about to arrive, Linda's butler approached them and handed Charles a letter from the Bureau of Magical Communications.

When Charles opened it, he saw that the place where the letter was sent was Greentown, and there were only two words in it - quasi-music.

He put away the letter, then stretched and said, "I'll be active for the next few days." ”

"Where are you going to do it?" asked Diana.

"Go for a walk around the mountains. Charles replied.

Then Diana took something out of the storage ring and handed it to him.

"What is this?" Charles took the thing and observed, it was a sun-dried mushroom, as tall as a palm, and its appearance was decent, but its color was dark purple, and it didn't look like a good one.

"See it, help me pick some back. Diana said.

"Uh......" Charles broke out in a cold sweat on his head, this mushroom had never been seen in the sea of elven trees, "what is this for?"

"Hehe, I'll cook the soup for you to drink. Diana said with a sneer.

Charles's face twitched.

By this time, all the guests invited by Linda had arrived, and after a few words, she spread a piece of parchment half a meter square on the table.

Charles and the others walked over, standing on either side of Linda, and then studied the contents of the quaint parchment, which had worn out a lot of edges, with the nobles around the round table.

The nobles who had been invited by Linda just looked up at Charles and nodded in greeting.

The parchment was filled with two symbols near the top and two on the left, with a curve in the middle on the right, and a cave sign at the bottom left, and a large line of text in the very old lingua franca script in the margins.

This year's treasure map looks like this, giving you a rough topographic map, no scale, and then a large paragraph of unexplained text is a little clue, just like the evidence of finding the hegemon in "Age of Exploration 4".

If you want to find the proof of the overlord, you can look at the big map and find it slowly, and this treasure map, which doesn't even have a scale, makes it almost impossible for you to start.

Charles studied the treasure map for seventy-seven forty-nine seconds before giving up, and then quietly pulled Diana away from the round table, and the crowd who were carefully looking at the treasure map paid no attention to the two of them.

Diana, who had just started to study it, was dissatisfied with Charles for pulling her away, and glared at Charles angrily, obviously if Charles could not give a reasonable explanation, she would hit someone.

Charles unleashed several layers of soundproofing magic after moving away from the long table, and said, "No need to research, that thing is useless to us?"

Diana looked at Charles quizzically and asked, "Do you know what it is?"

"Of course I know, the sign marked the Northland Maple Forest was circulated for a short time three hundred years ago, it was invented by my ancestor Joseph, and now few people know about it except for my family and a few elves. The sign marking Lin Hai is also from that era, and it has also been eliminated. This makes it easy to guess the exact location. Charles shrugged, "As for the treasure...... Now we still put the contents in there. ”

Diana thought for two seconds, then slapped her forehead and said speechlessly, "What kind of thing is this?"

Charles spread his hands and said helplessly: "This can be regarded as fate." ”

At this time, Diana had already covered her face with her hands and said: "The picture is too beautiful, I dare not imagine it......"

Charles patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't show it, I'll go out of the city for a trip, and I guess I'll meet again in the Forge Holy Land." ”

At this time, Diana readjusted her mood, and she said, "You go, be careful on the road, remember to look for mushrooms." ”

Then Charles suddenly disappeared from the sight of everyone in Seven Hills City, and no one knew where he went for a while.

Under the cover of Linda's garden and teleportation to the clearing of the mountains and forests where he came out to interrogate the captives last night, Charles changed into combat equipment and set off towards the territory where a dangerous monster was entrenched two hills away.

The prisoners and detainees in the cave in the mountain had been evacuated to another place, otherwise he could have found some help.

After walking a few steps, Charles noticed a group of somewhat strange adventurers at the foot of the mountain not far away.

Ten adventurers in their early teens wearing the same equipment were sitting in the clearing, surrounded by three middle-aged adventurers with the same equipment.

One of the middle-aged adventurers was teaching the young adventurers how to set traps in the woods, while the other two were on guard.

Charles stood behind the tree and listened, and found that it was the teachers and students of the adventurer school in Seven Hills City conducting a live teaching.

Different from the free-range and new training methods of adventurers in other places, Seven Hills City has established a special adventurer school to systematically teach young people the knowledge required by adventurers.

Charles doesn't have to think about it to know that this must be Allen's handiwork.
