"Treasure?"

Liszt became excited when he heard this.

Immediately summoned Costor, who was waiting at the castle: "What kind of treasure?"

"My lord, this is the sailing route of an island, and during the trial voyage of the Flowers, I found a cave not far from the pier, which contained human remains. After inspection, it was found that it was a bunch of rats that were engaged in the cave, trapped in a cave and died, and they left the place where they sold the horses before they died, which is on that island!"

Horse dealers?

Liszt quickly thought of the smoke mission, the trail of the Lilong horses.

He gave up his plan to continue researching the new magic released by Shake Sen, and immediately said, "Take me to the cave, I will investigate it myself!" As he prepared to set off, he took the opportunity to summon the Smoke Mission, and found that the Smoke Mission had changed.

"Complete the quest and reward the traces of the Lilong Horse herd. ”

"Mission: The monster has been cleared, Flower Town has never been so safe, as a lord, it's time to make a big move, to achieve leapfrog development for Flower Town, what's the harm in destroying the environment, please bulldoze the thorn forest. Reward: Mutant Thorns. ”

The monster was completely wiped out.

The Thorn Worm chain quest has also been reconnected.

Liszt felt that today was really a festive day, and he almost had a magpie chirping in the branches. And soon, he understood how the mission was accomplished - to send the knight Sean to the castle with a dead shadow serpent. This shadow snake bit three serfs to death.

"The logging site was chaotic for a while, but under the suppression of Mr. Marcus, Advisor Galtai and other adults, the serfs went back to the logging work. Sean reported the scene.

The burning fire didn't scare the Shadow Serpent away.

It attacked three serfs in quick succession, and was eventually killed by Marcus with a bow and arrow, and then the serfs panicked, and although they were suppressed, their work was inevitably turbulent.

"Sean, tell Mr. Marcus to continue to strengthen the protection of the logging team. "Although the monster has been cleared, Liszt can't tell others clearly, so he can only continue to strengthen protection," and told Galtai's advisor that the dead serf would be given a gold coin to his family. ”

At this time, gold coins were the best way to comfort them, and the best way to motivate the serfs to work hard—more convincing than any threatening or encouraging words.

"Yes, my lord!" Sean commanded.

Liszt put on his monster leather armor, took his personal servant Thomas, and Rom Keg, who had been notified to come as a servant, how could the lord go out without a servant.

"My lord, the cave can be reached by land, but you need to climb over the mountain and climb a steep cliff. It is most convenient to take the Flower No. ”

Costor bowed to Liszt and began to direct the Flowers to set sail.

Anchoring, paddling, hoisting the sails.

Turning the direction and slowly sailing on the sea, there was a sailing trip, the young sailors, the performance was quite good, much faster than the previous march, it only took about twenty minutes, and they came to the vicinity of the cave. Putting down the canoe, Costor took Liszt and others into the cave.

The cave is very humid and almost at the same level as the sea at high tide, so it is pushed by the waves from time to time.

But further inside, it's dry.

It was afternoon, and the sunset had already crossed the mountains, and the sunlight could no longer shine in, making the cave a little dark. Thomas lit the candles and lamps that had been prepared in advance to add light to the cave.

"My lord, here is the wreck of a small boat, judging by its shape, it should be a shuttle boat carried by a large ship. It was constantly washed by the sea, and only a little plank remained. Costor flipped the wreckage of the boat over, and the wreckage shattered and wood chips scattered all over the ground.

Then, he walked over to a few pairs of white bones: "There are three human corpses, I have checked, and they are still in good condition, and not too many bones have been lost. They carry weapons, bone swords, and the bones are very hard, but they are not knightly sword shapes, so they should be a group of rats. ”

A knight, as the name suggests, is a warrior on horseback.

The knights are the main force of the war, the composition of the army, and the war between the lords is the charge between the knights. However, not all people who cultivate fighting spirit choose to become a knight - knights are a product of the aristocracy, and there are still some people who choose to wander outside the aristocracy.

These people are smugglers, marginal people, and despicable strata.

They did not obey the lord's rule, did not produce, were free, and engaged in industries that were contrary to the aristocracy—stealing, robbing, smuggling, pimping, or accepting employment to carry out assassinations, slave trades, etc.

These people, rightly called - rats.

But they themselves call themselves - rangers.

"Rats. Liszt was not very touched, he was no stranger to rats, and he cooperated with Levi to trade slaves, so he had to cooperate with rats.

The aristocracy denounced and belittled this group of people as rats, but it did not prevent them from cooperating with rats. After all, there are a lot of dirty hooks, and the nobles are not good at doing it themselves, so they need rats to come forward. The pirates infested by the Grand Duchy of Sapphire are also rats - basically all of them are nobles in disguise.

Or rather.

Rats are another skin of the nobility - ordinary people don't have so much nutrition to cultivate fighting qi, and only nobles can raise mice.

Liszt believes that the tulip family, too, has its own mice.

As the second son of the earl, he has no right to know.

"Is there anything else that shows their identity preserved?" asked Liszt, picking up a bone sword.

This bone sword should be the bone forging of the Warcraft, and the shape is more curved, which is completely different from the long and straight of the knight's sword, and is more suitable for close hand-to-hand combat.

Nature's long-term corrosion, the bone sword has long since lost any traces of magic.

"Their clothes and parcels have long since decayed, and there is a lot of moisture here, and there is no way to preserve them. Only these snake inscriptions, carved on the walls, remained. Costor pointed to the cave wall.

Thomas brought the candle fixture closer.

Illuminate the snake inscription on the cave wall.

The snake inscription has been blurred, divided into two large segments, and only the parts are recognizable.

"I'm □ badly wounded, I'm almost □ dead, Sweet □ ghost...... Eyeliner, the Green Light □□ □ and □□□ take the steed, but he underestimated me and killed □□□. □ can't walk out of the □□□, the □□□ is steep, and the horses ...... Carry the letter on your back, and you will come. ”

"Nautical chart of the □ of the island of □□□...... My family, tell Molly □ that I love her – Caspar Iron □. ”

Among them, "□" means that the handwriting of a single snake is not clear, and "......" means that the entire snake script is not clear.

Even with a mixture of guesses, I can barely guess what these two paragraphs say.

After a moment's pondering, Liszt figured out a rough idea - there was an inner ghost among the horse dealers, who seemed to be called Sweet, who had scuttled the ship and wanted to take the horses with him. As a result, Necaspar fought back, but Caspar was seriously injured and sent the horse away before he died, tying a letter to the horse's back.

Then the nautical charts were left.

Comparing the rewards given by the smoke mission, Liszt already understood: "Obviously, this group of rats has found the island where the Lilong horses live, and they should be the rats working for the Tulip family...... My Lilong horse is the horse that was sent away by Casper!"

Thinking of this, his gaze couldn't help but turn to a nautical chart next to the snake script.

The carvings of the nautical charts are very deep, and it is clear that Casper used great effort to depict them. Even if the snake inscription next to it is about to corrode and cannot be seen clearly, the nautical chart is still clear.
