"Hey, what's wrong? Are your shoelaces tied? ”
Under normal circumstances, probably no one would dare to talk to an earl of higher status than himself, which would be a rude act to be whipped, but in the darkness not only magnified the fear in people's hearts, but also freed the invisible shackles of social order. When he heard the impatient urging of the other team members, Luo Zhengdao didn't care about the other party's rudeness, and said casually:
"Oh, it's okay, something stuck in my hand."
As he spoke, the small box that stretched out from the wall of the corridor was pulled out by Luo Zhengdao, and when he opened the lid of the box, he reached in and touched it a few times, and quickly took out the contents of the box and stuffed it into the space bag on his waist, and then he stuffed the box back into the hole in the stone wall, Luo Zhengdao stood up straight and said:
"Alright, move on, don't lose time!"
Those pirates who were waiting in the back were anxious when they heard Luo Zhengdao's brazen statement, they couldn't help but have a sense of awe for the thickness of his face, and some even began to whisper that he was worthy of being a child of a great nobleman, and the ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open was all talent! The person who has been delaying everyone's time seems to be the guy who spoke, and now he can still say with a shy face that other people's are not, this is a rake!
"Wow! It's spectacular! ”
The people groped their way through the two hourglasses in absolute darkness with uneasy nervousness, and the sudden bright light in front of them brought tears to their eyes. Don't get me wrong, it's not that the adventurers shed tears because they were moved, but because their eyes, which had just become accustomed to the dark, couldn't stand the strong stimulation of the sudden change in light and dark. The treasure cave that appeared in front of them was covered with gold leaf on all four walls, and a thick layer of gold and silver coins was sprinkled on the ground, which was more than a person's knee thick, and among these scattered coins were many handicrafts such as silver candlesticks, silver tableware and precious stone rosaries, precious metal necklaces and rings inlaid with precious metals, which were probably saved by Emperor Taizu.
Luo Zhengdao, who was in tears like everyone else, hurriedly closed his eyes, he took some time to adjust to the change in brightness, and reopened his eyes to scan the hall, he really couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement.
The decoration style of this place is only described by the four words of splendor, and the style intuitively highlights the tyrannical taste of the predecessor emperor of the traverser.
Fortunately, the pirates who break into this treasure trove today generally have no high aesthetic taste, for them, the metallic luster of gold and silver is the most magnificent and charming color in the world, you say vulgar or not, they are not interested, can that thing be eaten? If they were to put a thumb-sized gold necklace with a delicate and elegant Mithril necklace, they would definitely choose to take the former first. No matter what world you are in, the spring and snow are high-end gadgets that the well-fed rentier class are interested in studying, and the vulgar and practical lower riba people are the truth that can be universally accepted by people without the need for acquired education and any artistic accomplishment.
Remembering the hard work of finding the treasure and the ecstasy from the bottom of his heart at the moment, Gaude Needham, who had always been at the forefront of the procession, could no longer suppress his excitement, and he raised his hands and cried out as if in prayer:
"This is the King's Hall, and we've found the treasure."
A cheer reverberated through the confined space of the cavern, and soon, the overly strong echo forced the cheerers to learn to restrain their feelings so as not to injure their eardrums.
In the face of this staggering amount of treasure, the elven mages who came with Gao De did not lose their true colors as arcane researchers, and they were more interested in the many secrets hidden in this hall itself than in the material temptation of real money everywhere, especially the absolute darkness that protected the treasure house outside. The thought of discovering the details of this unknown mysterious power made the soul of the researchers of the mages, who had always been known for their otaku attributes, burn at this moment. An elven mage swooped down without hesitation, peeling off the gold leaf covering the rock wall in order to get a closer look at how the treasure house could withstand the harassment of purple insects.
You know, being a neighbor with these hole-making experts, it is almost an impossible task to not turn into honeycomb coal for a long time, and the intact King's Hall must have some kind of secret hidden to protect it from the invasion of purple insects, not to mention the absolute darkness outside.
"The rock wall has been specially treated with some kind of alchemy mixture, no wonder the purple worm, a burrowing expert, has been active in the vicinity for thousands of years, and this treasure house has not even shown a trace of damage, which is amazing."
An elven mage sighed at the careful and thoughtful arrangement of the Emperor of Light, while the companion next to him focused on other aspects, and said disapprovingly:
"That's right, I can sense the arcane energy left here, it seems that the Treasury originally set up a lot of magic traps, because it has been too long for the energy of these traps to be activated."
Unable to find a clue to the cause of the absolute darkness, an elven mage tugged at his head in frustration and said:
"Damn, why aren't there any clues to that darkness?"
While these professionals were busy analyzing the manufacturing principles of Emperor Taizu's treasury and the technical elements of various aspects, the excited pirates were stuffing the treasures into their respective spatial equipment under the dispatch of Gao De and Luo Zhengdao. Although space equipment in the New World is a precious magical curiosity, it is a piece of cake for elven mages and Yaling Overseers who are not short of money. Imagine the magical equipment that even Luo Zhengdao, an exiled nobleman, can have, and these people in the system rely on the financial resources of the entire country as the backing, what equipment can they not get their hands on?
It didn't take long for the glorious King's Hall to be swept away by red-eyed pirates, not even the thin layer of gold leaf laid on the rock walls, which had been cleaned by the greedy pirates' knives and made their way home.
After spending so long in a claustrophobic space, people inevitably feel like wandering ghosts in hell, and the feeling of seeing the light of day again is as precious as being reborn. When Luo Zhengdao breathed in the fresh air with the smell of grass outside the entrance of the cave, he couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Oh, it's finally out, I feel like I'm going to die."
Gauder Needham was anxious to get in touch with the pirate fleet that was left outside, and when he heard this, he just sighed and didn't answer, and when the group re-boarded the cruiser, Gaude couldn't wait to ask:
"What time is it? Do we have enough time? ”
The captain, who was swayed by Gao De's thick arms, pitifully pointed to the hourglass next to him and said:
"My lord, your treasure hunt has taken a day and a half, and we will return to the ship immediately, and the chance of being intercepted by the goblin fleet is not high."
Hearing the sound, he looked back at Luo Zhengdao, who was silent, Gao De's expression was a little complicated, and then he said in a deep voice:
"Really? That means we might be ambushed by the greenskins on the way. Well, prepare for the worst! Set sail now. ”
"Quick, twist the anchor chain and get ready to sail!"
Dozens of muscular sailors shouted in unison to push the wooden winch, slowly lifting the heavy stone anchor from underwater, and then the entire pirate fleet turned around and headed for the lower reaches of the Atayal River, where they had to rush out before the goblin army organized an interception, or else it would turn into a good floating target
"Your Excellency, may I ask what treasures you have found in the corridor?"
After dinner in the ship's dining room, the participants of the expedition returned to their cabins to rest, but they were tired enough, and although they were not diminished by the temptation of a large amount of gold, this fatigue could not be overcome by mental strength. The next morning, when everyone met at the dinner table, the Yaling Overseer opened his mouth in a flat tone and asked Luo Zhengdao about what happened yesterday. During the treasure hunt, Sariel Byrne, who was responsible for protecting Luo Zhengdao's personal safety, had been following someone, and in that dark corridor that completely rendered her vision useless, she couldn't be sure what Luo Zhengdao had done when he stopped, and with years of accumulated experience, she judged that Luo Zhengdao was not tying his shoes, and this excuse was too lame.
Don't think that the Yaling Overseers are not polite and deliberately ask ** questions, the new world is a fantasy world where magic dominates, and those treasures of unknown origin often mean unknowable risks.
Throughout the ages, many people who thought they were lucky enough to pick up a big pie from the sky during their adventures, and the result of the incident was often a cruel consequence that would prove that the pie was poisonous and highly poisonous. For example, a certain adventurer accidentally obtained an artifact in the treasure, and suddenly his strength skyrocketed, and since then he has been rampant, and there will be a god-turning ending followed by him, and the unlucky host will be swallowed up by the evil artifact and the soul belt. Thrillers like that, just tip the bard a few silver coins in the tavern, and they'll keep you singing for days. After all, the wizarding world is not so easy to mix, and stupid people with low IQs will show that their intelligence is a hard flaw no matter where they go!
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao understood what Sariel Byrne was worried about, thought about it for a while, and decided to tell the truth, and said calmly:
"I don't know, it seems to be some kind of magic scroll, and you have to find someone to identify it to know what it is for."
While the two were talking, the Yaling Overseer suddenly turned her head, her white and slender ears twitched a few times, her pretty face changed color suddenly, and she got up with a stern expression and said to Luo Zhengdao:
“…… It seems to be the sound of a trumpet, Lord Count. ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who was already worried, naturally couldn't sit still, threw down the slices of bread in his hand and jumped up, shouting:
"Oh no, follow me to the deck, it's the goblins."
In a sense, the Second Goblin Empire's control of the main 6 is not strong, and the pirates broke through the fortress at the mouth of the Atayal River and went deep into the internal water activities of the main 6, which took nearly two days for the goblins to react. Later, it took a lot of effort to dispatch troops, and it was already a horizontal swing to be able to launch a volley before the pirate fleet went to sea. It is also meaningless to complain that the mobilization efficiency of the goblin empire is not high, and the military mobilization capacity has always been a watershed that distinguishes large countries from powerful countries, and large does not mean strong. Just as the Bright Dynasty with bloated institutions and stacked beds and houses reached the end of the period, the nobles and nobles everywhere acted on their own, and did not hesitate to pay attention to the edicts of the old emperor, and the overall administrative efficiency could not catch up with the second goblin empire from the grass platform team in the ravine!
