39. Chapter 39
In the palace of the Xinlu Empire, King Bivis was flipping through the records left by his ancestors, and the prime minister on one side was also holding a scroll in his hand, "Your Majesty, the miracle in this Falling Thunder Valley has not been launched for many years, and now it has been completely destroyed, and there is only a few things left in it, and Your Majesty is not as good as ......"
"Why don't you do it? We have been guarding the treasures in the Valley of Thunder for tens of thousands of years, how can we let others take them. Beavis looked up from the stacks, his face furious, and it was clear that the events of Thunder Valley had made him lose his composure.
"But, Your Majesty, the miracle was destroyed, and it wasn't necessarily the person who destroyed the Mercenary Guild." The prime minister smiled bitterly and put the book aside, "The people sent out by His Majesty haven't come back yet, if it's really because of this matter, he has caused some difficult role." What does 陛xià think? ”
"Even if I can't do anything to these people for a while, I'll keep an eye on him." Beavis gritted his teeth, his fingers touching a package adorned with gemstones, the familiar color that made Beavis breathe. "Found it."
Comparing the records in the book, coupled with the magic circle that can sense the godhead, the corners of Beavis's mouth raised a smug smile.
Early the next morning, the guards guarding the capital came to report that two mercenaries had returned from the city of Peggylin, holding heavy treasures and wanting to present them to His Majesty.
Beavis, who was now extra sensitive to the name Peggerin, agreed to meet him right away. After being taken by the chamberlain to freshen up, the two treasure devotees were led up to the temple by their attendants, and when they passed through the entrance of the temple, a loud sound sounded, and indeed a string of silver doorbells hung on the door of the temple, but the depiction on it was a magic circle that evolved from the sarcophagus.
Angelo was prepared, and looked up at King Beavis, who was sitting in the middle of the hall, who was older than his father, but the momentum on his body was so strong that people couldn't look at him directly.
"Wizard Shiqing Mu, Great Sword Master Dick Bansang has seen His Majesty the King." The two straightened up and just bowed, after all, the two were not Xinlu natives.
"Listen to the guards, you two have a treasure to offer me?" Beavis's eyes flickered, and he couldn't wait to take down the two of them directly from the time the magic circle at the door reacted just now, but thinking that since the two of them were going to offer treasures, he would be patient, and if the magic circle could be triggered when the two people left, he ordered the sword and axe to step forward.
"Yes, the two of us were mercenaries, but ...... Something unpredictable happened in the Valley of Falling Thunder. Benedict smiled bitterly, "We are the only ones left, and no one will know this treasure in the Valley of Falling Thunder even if it is brought back to our own country, so it is better to come to you to exchange some travel expenses, so that we can go back safely." ”
The concealment between the words was handed over to Beavis's own brain, and the province made him think that there were only three or two kittens in the valley of the thunder. Angelo looked at it from the side and added, "This treasure is strange, it can't be stored by the space ring, and when we came out, these treasures were still scattered on the ground." ”
The corners of Beavis' eyes twitched, and he immediately realized that this little magician was exaggerating the truth. Such a half-truth and half-truth, only people who know a little about Falling Thunder Valley but do not know it thoroughly will believe it, such a temptation is just to raise the price.
For many years, the kings and sages of the Xinlu Empire have worked hard for the treasure in the Falling Thunder Valley, but they can only peek at its skin, and the thunder crystal nucleus that is not spewed out in the cave is more refined than the magic core of ordinary demonic beasts, plus the magic guide that appears from time to time, it seems that a very patient angler is constantly tempting them to take the bait with scattered bait. This secret has been guarded by Xinlu for more than a thousand years, and even surrounded the entire Falling Thunder Valley in the center of the country for this miracle.
Now these two people are the first to come out of the Falling Thunder Valley, Beavis suppressed the eagerness in his heart, the rarest of the mercenaries are nothing more than treasures, wine and beauties, as long as they can find out the scene in the Falling Thunder Valley, it is not indispensable for them to be more patient.
"So, the pit in the Thunder Valley has been completely destroyed?" Beavis' face was worried and pitiful, but this look was sincere.
"Pits?" Angelo squinted slightly, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and made an expression that was indeed so, "We thought it was a treasure that had never been discovered, but we were afraid that it was the biggest secret in this Thunder Valley except for the purple bamboo and the thunderbird crystal nucleus." ”
By now, it was time to find out what the treasure was, and Angelo could not hide the smug look on his face as he looked at Benedict and then at Beavis.
"Oh? I really didn't know that there was something more precious than the Thunderbird Crystal Nucleus in this Thunder Valley. The look of contempt on Beavis's face was not completely concealed, it was not that he didn't want to, but it was that this miracle in the Valley of Falling Thunder had been coveted by him for many years.
"From now on." Benedict removed the sword from behind him, and most people thought that it was a long sword, and there was a gray oilcloth in the sword holster. The tarpaulin opened, and Benedict opened a box depicting a circle of concealment.
Suddenly, the thunder element in the hall was so dense that it could hardly be dissolved. Even Beavis, the thunder-based god of law, felt breathless, and he now transferred half of his concern for the treasure to the box, to be precise, the box of magic circles, but at this time, he can't show it, after all, he still understands the nature of the mercenaries, and if he wants to get more, he has to pay the price they think is appropriate.
The box is full of hedrons of different sizes, as well as some strangely shaped plants, and the only thing in common is that the contents of the box have a strong thunder element.
Beavis was about to speak, when he saw Angelo and Benedict take out the hedron and plants in the box, and put them on the oilcloth on the side, the hedron at the bottom of the box seemed to be soaked in a viscous liquid, but the hedron was extremely clean after taking it out.
Angelo took out a flask from the ring, and Benedict poured the liquid from the bottom of the box into the bottle, and the crystallized liquid seemed to disappear into the bottle.
"This ......" Beavis believed that the hedrons and plants on the ground were not the things that the two men were going to offer, this liquid was, but it was the first time he had seen such a state.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, please give me a magic core." Benedict smiled kindly. Beavis waved his hand and motioned for the attendant on the side to bring him a magic core.
Soon, the attendant came up with a wind system demon core, and Angelo took it in his hand and said, "Level six, Your Majesty the King is a good hand." As he spoke, he threw the core in his hand into the potion bottle.
As soon as the cyan crystal nucleus touched the surface of the liquid, it slowed down its falling speed, and the cyan color on the surface mutated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and by the time it fell to the bottom, it had already turned into a pure thunder crystal nucleus.
This change made Beavis a little unable to sit still, you must know that after the destruction of Falling Thunder Valley, what they need most is enough source of thunder elements, otherwise the Heavenly Thunder Legion of the Xinlu Empire will become a bunch of wasters.
"Actually, it's not just the Magic Core," Benedict turned his hand, and an ordinary stone appeared in his hand, slightly larger than the crystal nucleus, but it didn't prevent it from changing from an ordinary stone to a spar like the ground.
"The energy in this liquid may not be inexhaustible, but we can be sure that with just a small glass, an entire ordinary rock cliff can be turned into a complete thunder hedroder." Benedict smiled, "The two of us thought that the only person in the world who needed this thing the most was you." So I came rashly and wanted to dedicate this treasure to His Majesty. ”
Beavis had already gotten up from his seat and walked over to the two of them. Angelo handed the bottle to the king at the right time, and this action made Beavis's heart move, and it was obvious that these two men were not the only ones in their hands, or that they were waiting for a higher reward.
"Because this thing can't be stored by the space ring, we found a box in the cave and put it up, this kind of divine water in the container will not change the container, I think it is necessary to immerse the thing in it." Benedict explained diligently, while motioning Angelo to put away the tarpaulin on the ground, Angelo immediately understood, and with a sweep of his hand, the hedron wrapped in the tarpaulin on the ground was put into the ring, but those scattered on the outside of the tarpaulin were unharmed.
Seeing the suspicion in Beavis's eyes, Angelo added another point to Beavis's knowledge of the cave, and secretly pressed the spar into the container to the pillar of light that reached the sky.
"Since the two of you have offered heavy treasures, I will naturally not treat you badly, so it is better to go to the side hall to rest first." After that, he instructed his entourage to lead the way for the two. The three of them knew well what was going on in this Thunder Valley, so they naturally knew that this was the time for both sides to evaluate. Angelo and the others were the first to come out, and the timing of this treasure hunt was as fast as possible, so the two of them were not worried that Beavis was preparing to kill people and seize the treasure.
Benedict and Angelo went to the side hall, looked at the guards around them, and their divine sense swept over the castle and noticed the prime minister who was still sorting out the library, "There is a library in the southwest corner, and there is an archmage in it who is sorting out, and I think all the records are there." ”
"How are you ready?" Angelo casually pinched a berry and put it in his mouth, the juice bursting between his lips and teeth made him squint his eyes with satisfaction, but his mind did not relax at all, although he didn't know much about the magic circle that could be triggered by divine power, but the intricate patterns on it had been replaying in his mind, as long as he saw something similar, he would definitely be able to recognize it.
"How about I put a puppet here, and you go to the library and memorize the materials?" Benedict looked at Angelo and smiled with a look on his face that you were joking.
After staring for a long time to make sure that Benedict was not joking, Angelo nodded, and then he realized that he had become transparent, and at the same time, Angelo, who looked like he had changed his appearance, appeared beside him.
A voice sounded in his ears, and Angelo followed Benedict's instructions directly through the window wall, but did not touch the defensive circle on the wall.
"Where do I go next?" Angelo's lips moved slightly, and his voice was almost inaudible. Turning to the left, Angelo looked at a thick outer wall speechlessly, and after leaning in, Angelo really walked in the wall.
Because it is extra heavy, it is enough to put down a secret passage that is one person wide. Angelo looked at the magic core that was used for lighting every ten steps, and sighed that this Xinlu was worthy of the Second Empire, and everything used for lighting was a magic core.
The general magic core does not emit light, only the energy in the magic core will emit a faint light when it is running, and to maintain the operation of the magic core, only a simple magic circle is needed.
Not long after walking along the secret passage, Angelo saw the bend that Benedict had said, and there was no hint in his ears at this time, but there was a road in the southwest direction, and Angelo felt the direction of the wind, and found that this method was useless in this kind of secret passage that was not boring, and felt a little pity in his heart, and went to the southwest.
When he actually saw this library, Angelo exclaimed, 'This is really a big project.' But it is clear that the few volumes that had been turned over and the prime minister who was standing in the stacks had given Angelo convenience.
"Should I knock him out?"
Benedict, who was talking to Beavis, almost burst out laughing and coughed lightly, "It's okay if you kill him." ”
That is, it will not be seen here. Angelo shrugged, took out a concentrated sleeping potion from the spatial ring, and shook it a few times at the end of the prime minister's nose, the prime minister was unaware at first, but after half a moment, he fell to the ground, and he didn't even put down the book in his hand.
Angelo picked up the book he was looking at in the direction of the prime minister and nodded, "I'm going to start." ”
Strictly speaking, Angelo is not unforgettable, but he is good at remembering, holding the prime minister's book and flipping through it, for a while, all kinds of books in the library rise in the air from time to time, floating in mid-air.
