Chapter 619: The Old Grandfather Who Bought the Map
Looking at the mysterious routes on this yellowed picture, although Xiaobao still can't understand the mystery, but the outline of these routes makes him faintly familiar, because of this mysterious picture, he once saw it in the cave where he and the fairy sister explored the treasure in the Warcraft Forest...
That mysterious map that represented the ability to find the legendary "Black Lotus Demon Fire" that ranked third in the "Different Fire List", that kind of strange fire, even the elder of the pavilion, also gave a very high evaluation, and when the Black Lotus Demon Fire came out of his mouth at that time, it was not difficult for Xiao Bao to perceive the exclamation in his words.
Being able to make the elders who once stood at the peak of the Wendou Continent praise it so repeatedly, it can be seen that how strong the "Black Lotus Demon Fire" is, it doesn't seem to be an exaggeration to describe it by burning everything.
"Tsk, lucky guy, you will find the map fragment that has no clue in this kind of place, it seems that you and the black lotus demon fire are really a bit fateful." Xiao Bao's heart sounded with a little incredible surprise from the elder of the pavilion, obviously, he never thought that Xiao Bao would be able to obtain two mysterious map fragments in just one year.
Xiao Bao smiled, his smile was a little excited, carefully holding the mysterious broken picture, forcibly suppressing the urge to take out another map in the space ring for comparison, and took a deep breath, wanting to calm the waves in his heart caused by this extremely unexpected gain.
At this time, the white-haired old man in the shop had finally finished his work, but he still didn't look up, and the old man's voice echoed in the room.
"You're going to buy a map of the Taklamakan Desert, right?"
I could hear the old man's inquiry. Xiaobao turned around at this time, slowly walked to the counter, nodded with a smile, and said quite politely: "Old man, can you give me the most accurate and detailed map of the desert?" ”
"It's on the counter, take your pick." The old man didn't deliberately get up to introduce, but just said lightly, this look is extremely not like a businessman.
Looking at the old man's peculiar attitude, Xiaobao was a little stunned. But now there is a request from others. He had no choice but to nod helplessly, randomly picked out a map that looked quite detailed from the counter, and then carefully spread out the fragment of the quaint map on his palm, and asked softly, "Old man." I wonder if you still have this kind of map fragment here? ”
Listen to Xiaobao's question. The old man who was concentrating on drawing a map. The palm of his hand trembled imperceptibly, and the carefully drawn route was slightly offset. Frowning slightly, the old man finally raised his head slowly, his eyes swept over the broken map in Xiaobao's hand, but there was an inexplicable meaning in his cloudy old eyes.
Looking at the old face that was raised, Xiao Bao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, there was a terrifying scar from the left cheek to the corner of the eye of this face, although the old man's eyes were quite peaceful, but this scar still made him add a faint sense of fierceness.
"You... Seen a fragment of such a map before? His eyes swept over the robe on Xiao Bao's body, which represented the identity of the alchemist, and the old man's voice was slightly surprised.
Hearing this, Xiaobao's eyes narrowed slightly, shook his head with a smile, and said: "I once seemed to have seen this kind of map fragment in an auction house, and I competed casually at that time, but in the end, because the other party's bid was too high, so I gave up. ”
"Black Lotus Demon Fire" is not an ordinary thing, this kind of demonic flame that ranks third on the list of strange fires can definitely make any hermit who has no quarrel with the world feel greedy, so Xiao Bao will not be stupid enough to directly explain that he has a remnant picture.
"Oh."
His eyes swept over Xiaobao's face, and the old man seemed to believe his words, and said lightly: "No, this is just what I got by accident, according to my years of experience in cartography, this seems to be just a fragment of a map." ”
"Can the old gentleman tell me where you got it?" Xiaobao frowned slightly, and continued to ask, "Dig in the desert." The old man's flat tone did not have the slightest ripple.
In response to the old man's extremely irresponsible answer, Xiaobao smiled bitterly, holding the mutilated picture in his hand, and said, "Old man, can you sell me this map?" I'm willing to pay a high price. ”
"Not for sale." The old man slowly lowered his head, and once again focused his attention on the unfinished map, his tone was flat, but there was an unquestioning attitude.
Seeing that he was rejected, Xiaobao was stunned, his eyes gradually narrowed, no matter what, this map fragment is bound for him, not to mention that the other party is just an old man who seems to be powerless, even if he is really replaced by a strong man, he must try to get it into his hands, after all, the "Black Lotus Demon Fire", the attraction to him is too huge, maybe, in the future, if he wants to "Fire Technique" to evolve into a high-level exercise, this is the top three Black Lotus Demon Fire on the different fire list, will play a vital role!
Just when Xiao Bao's heart was tumbling with thoughts, a faint voice suddenly sounded in his heart: "Be careful, this old guy is not an ordinary person." ”
Hearing this, Xiaobao's heart froze, and he hurriedly said in his heart: "Teacher, is this old man weird?" ”
"Well, under my detection, this old guy's real strength should be at the level of Wenyuan Pavilion Scholar Scholar, however, he seems to have been suppressed by some strange power, and the strength in his body is only about the strength of Jinshi now, but even so, it is easy to kill you." Ge Lao said with interest.
"A powerhouse at the level of a scholar in the Wenyuan Pavilion Palace?" His heart was shocked, and Xiaobao lost his voice in his heart: "How is it possible? Among the top ten powerhouses of the Alpha Empire, only three of them are powerhouses at the level of Wenyuan Pavilion Scholars, where did this person come from? ”
"How do I know... However, the strong people you mentioned are only on the surface, the Alpha Empire is also a big empire, there are always a lot of strong people, who don't like to show their heads like that, and some strong people are even more withdrawn and eccentric, and it is not strange to go to the edge of this desert to sell maps. Ge Lao smiled casually.
Xiaobao was speechless, and after a while, he smiled bitterly in his heart: "But why do you want me to meet me?" ”
"Maybe you're lucky." The elder smiled a little gloatingly.
"Little guy, don't fight my map idea, I'm not afraid of money, grab things, let's go, besides, don't have any thoughts of robbery, that won't do you any good." The old man waved his hand and said lightly, he didn't seem to be afraid that Xiaobao would run away with the fragments in his hand.
Slowly exhaling, Xiao Bao shook his head helplessly, and said, "Indeed, in front of a powerhouse who may have been at the level of a scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion, it is really impossible for me to rob it." ”
"Click!" The ink pen that moved slowly in his hand suddenly touched, and with a crisp sound, it snapped off.
The old man stared at the black stain on the map that was painted with a large amount of ink, and after a while, he raised his head and stared at Xiaobao, a faint chill gradually lingered in his cloudy pupils.
"Who the hell are you?"
The old man's palm tapped somewhere on the table, and the open door was closed with a bang, and the old man stared at Xiaobao with sharp eyes, and a cold and domineering momentum spread from the old man's body.
Just when the cold momentum was pressing on Xiao Bao, Ge Lao's soul power wrapped Xiao Bao in, allowing him to avoid the oppression of the other party's momentum.
"Don't get me wrong, old man, I don't know you, it's just that I have a weird natural perception, and I feel very deeply about some of the energy around me, before, I just detected the majestic energy in the old man's body, so..." Looking at the old man who reacted so violently, Xiaobao spread his hands, took two steps back, and said with a smile: "Old man, I don't mean anything else, I just really want to get this map fragment, it is very important to me, please be accommodating, of course, you can say what you need to exchange, As long as I can get it, I will not refuse. ”
"Boy, I didn't expect you to have some foundation." Looking at the little treasure who was not damaged in the slightest under his own momentum, the white-haired old man couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Huh." Smiling, of course Xiaobao was not stupid enough to say the elder pavilion, he nodded slightly, smiled and raised the map fragment in his hand, and said, "Old man, what do you think?" ”
"I said I wouldn't sell it to anyone, and if you really plan to take it by force, then don't blame the old man." said lightly, the white hair behind the old man was windless, and the power of the cold writing was wrapped around his body.
Rejected by the old man, Xiao Bao frowned, he didn't expect this old guy to be so stubborn, looking at his appearance, he obviously didn't know that after collecting these fragments, he would be able to get the map to find the Black Lotus Demon Fire, but he still refused to agree to sell it, which really made Xiao Bao a little annoyed in his heart.
"Old man, I am bound to get this thing today, even if you don't agree, that kid may have to be forcibly taken away!" The smile on his face gradually converged, and Xiaobao said helplessly.
"By you? Old man, although I have been living in seclusion for decades for some reason, it is not your turn to speak to me like this as a second-level alchemist! Hearing Xiaobao say this, a sneering smile appeared on the old man's old face, and he sneered.
Pouting, Xiaobao stopped talking nonsense with him, kicked on his tiptoes, and retreated sharply to the door.
"Look for death!"
Looking at Xiaobao's actions, the old man's face flashed with evil anger, and the hideous scar looked much more fierce, and the soles of his feet stepped on the ground, and his body shot towards Xiaobao like lightning. (To be continued......)
