Chapter 6: The Treasure of Baron Morin (Ask for Recommendations)
Hand over the treasure?
Nature is impossible.
If you hand it over, there is a ninety percent chance that you will be killed, there is no doubt about it.
After some mutual acting, Wren and the old guy negotiated the conditions of the delaying strategy, and then opened his mouth to say the words that had been prepared a long time ago, and said: "Teacher Pissis, I was in the sewer at that time..."
But the story he made up had just begun, and at this moment, someone knocked on the tin door outside the medical room.
......
Sincere! Sincere! Sincere!
The tin door rang muffled, and someone outside the house shouted, "Mr. Picis, Chief Quinn, please go immediately, there is something important to discuss..."
Pisis frowned as he listened, "Got it." β
Now that there are outsiders, it is a little inappropriate to talk about this top secret.
Anyway, the conditions have been negotiated, and Baron Morin's secret will be his own sooner or later, and there is no hurry to do so.
He glanced at Wren and said, "The toxins in your body have not been completely eliminated, and there may still be dangers. You just have a good rest in the infirmary and wait until I get back..."
Toxins not cleared?
I believe you're a ghost.
Wren complained in his heart, but on the surface he responded very obediently: "Yes, Mr. Pissis." β
With that, the old guy turned around and went out the door.
With the sound of "clang" iron locks, the door of the medical room was locked from the outside.
Wren looked at the closed medical room, the excitement on his face slowly cooled, and he muttered in his heart: "The old guy is afraid that I will run away..."
This is a medical room that can only be enjoyed by the high-level of the base, and the steel plates around it can be bombarded by fireproofs, and he is an ordinary person who has not awakened, and it is impossible for him to escape.
Now it seems that it is no different from a prison cell.
However, it also makes sense, Raymond shrugged his shoulders.
With nothing to do, he thought about it and began to count the loot in the folded space.
This look is overjoyed.
He finally understood why the high-level leaders of the "Weasel Monster Thieves" would take such a big risk and forcibly infiltrate the city to attack and kill Baron Morin.
Originally... Because this Baron Morin actually hides a shocking secret!
......
It turned out that Baron Morin's real name was Sherwood AndrΓ©.
He was a hunter of the enemy "Empire of Side".
Wren flipped through one of the diaries in the relics and immediately understood the cause and effect of the assassination.
The cause of the incident has to start with the hunt operation when Baron Morin got the "big secret" six years ago.
The contents of the Warhammer Hunting Log are as follows:
"Steam Calendar 1123, September 10. The Captain has been given a well-paid mission to clear the wilderness at the Hunters' Guild, and we are going to explore a canyon near the 'Dark Forest', where I heard that some traces of ancient ruins have been found..."
"On the 14th, we encountered a very strange thick fog and lost our way. The gas masks have lost their effect, and the members of the group have discovered the poisoning phenomenon one after another, and the people are panicking..."
"On the 15th, we didn't know where we went, there was fog everywhere. One by one, the members of the regiment fell and died of poisoning. When I analyzed the cadaver blood samples, I found that there was more than one highly lethal unknown toxin in this dense fog..."
"On the 20th, ninety percent of the members have been poisoned to death, and they can't find the direction to leave the fog, I think we will all die here..."
"On the 26th, the high-grade antidote brought by me has been exhausted, and only two members of the group are left, me and the regiment leader..."
β...β
The first half of the diary is all normal.
It is written about a wilderness hunting team that goes to open up an unknown place and then gets lost in the fog.
This misty world is already full of countless dangers, such as demonic beasts, wasteland monsters, poisonous mist, scavengers... All are deadly crises.
Every day, countless hunting groups are wiped out in the wasteland.
It's normal for this team called Warhammer Hunters to have this encounter.
Maureen didn't die, and it was clear that he had another reason for surviving.
When Wren saw the contents of the diary later, it was as if he had discovered a new continent, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.
"On the 27th... Before we died, we found the strange wreckage of a steel machine city in the valley... It has no tracks and no wheels, and the tip of the equipment is beyond our knowledge. Moreover, it was as if it had fallen from the sky and smashed a big crater in the ground! Oh my God, is there a flying steam machine city in this world? It's a pity that the regimental commander can't hold it anymore..."
"My consciousness is also starting to blur... It was as if I had picked up what looked like an antidote in the wreckage, and instinctively, I injected it into my body. Probably, I'm going to die too..."
The world has no concept of flying machinery at all, and Wren saw this, but probably knew that they had encountered something like a "steam-powered airship".
But he was also surprised.
He traveled to the other world for a year and learned a lot of information.
Although the world's technology tree is crooked, this miraculous steam-powered steel city has appeared.
But the two great empires of human beings in the mist, whether it is the "Sid Empire" or the "Omar Empire", do not have any flying technology.
Could it be that somewhere else in this misty world, there is an unknown human realm with a higher technological civilization?
Apparently, the wreckage of that "steam airship" in the diary confirms this.
The world is bigger than what you see.
......
The diary writes that the handwriting has become messy.
It was as if the person holding the pen had gradually lost consciousness, his handwriting was weak and distorted, and the last few strokes had even been completely deformed.
If there is no follow-up, this is probably a masterpiece.
Then, on the next page, suddenly the handwriting became vigorous again!
"I'm awake, I'm alive... Oh my God, blessed by the great Lord of the Grey Mist, I have broken through the second genetic chain! Oh, it's an amazing feeling, it's an advanced genetic potion! β
"I've felt more powerful than I've ever felt before, I've never heard of such an exaggerated increase in a second-stage genetic potion... The effects of the medicine continued to ferment, and I felt a terrifying increase in attributes. Oh my God, what kind of genetic potion is this? β
"I've never seen a gold-quality genetic potion, but I'm sure the unknown potion I'm taking is far more potent than the gold-quality potion! Could it be the legendary 'legendary Elixir'? β
"I heard a terrible movement in the wreckage, as if there was some monster hidden, and I didn't dare to go any deeper. The poisonous fog around it also suddenly became very thick, and I am afraid that there will be a 'fog tide'. I didn't dare to stay long, I found some treasures, and I had to leave..."
This is the end of the adventure diary.
Seeing this, Wren's eyes also became hot.
He suddenly felt that among the treasures in the folded space, there might be some very incredible treasures!
......
As for the assassination ... That's the second half of the story.
This Baron Morin had a habit of keeping a diary.
After flipping through a few more diaries, Raymond easily understood how things were going to turn out.
Later, this Andrei escaped from the fog alive, and then returned to his hometown with some high-tech civilization treasures from the wreckage of the airship.
"Sam used to be my best friend..."
When he saw this text, Wren expected that there would be a bloody sequel to the future.
It turned out that this Andre went out to hunt and was away from home all the year round, and the beautiful wife of the family hooked up with his best friend.
Then when he returned, he shared his secret with his wife, but was betrayed by his friends and wife, and conspiracy to kill him for money.
Luckily he escaped.
Then, disheartened, Andrei came to the Omar Empire and changed his name to Morin.
He also donated a gold-grade genetic potion recipe from the airship in exchange for the title of a baron.
"If you see my diary, I'm dead. The only people who know my secret are Sam and that slut, and they must have harmed me... If you could, I would like you to help me kill the dog man and woman. Of course, for the sake of the treasure I left you, which is enough for the two empires to break their heads and fight for it..."
The note is missing.
Wren closed the journal and looked a little strange.
The assassination was sudden, and there was no record in the diary. But Baron Morin had already anticipated that the only possibility of his exposure was the dog man and woman.
......
"Probably that guy named Sam tracked down Andre's new identity, and then bought the murderer to entrust the "Weasel Monster Thieves Group" to kill people and seize the treasure? β
Wren shook his head again when he thought of this.
Judging from the content in the diary, the dog man and woman must not have such a lot of energy to find people across borders, and they paid such a big price to buy the strange thief group to infiltrate the "Burning Steel Castle" to kill people.
The most likely is that the dog man and woman sold the secret to some powerful person (or to talk about cooperation).
And then the big guy bought the real mastermind behind the murder?!
......
After reading the diary, the ins and outs of the entire assassination incident suddenly became clear.
"These babies are a little hot. The person who bought the murder behind the scenes, I'm afraid he won't give up so easily..."
Raymond looked at the treasures in the space and suddenly felt that things were beyond expectations.
Just one of the inconspicuous genetic formulas in it was exchanged for a noble title, but you can imagine how amazing the value of this treasure in Mo Lin's hands is.
Moreover, there are not only the treasures brought out by Baron Morin, but also the map to the wreckage of the airship!
According to the diary, the wreck of the airship has a lot of undiscovered secrets...
Beyond the existing ultra-cutting-edge steam technology, advanced transcendent knowledge, martial arts...
If it is really as the diary says, it is definitely enough to make the two great empires blush!
......
After carefully counting the labels and classifications, Wren also roughly understood what the bottles and cans in Morin's relics were.
Of course, what he cares about most is the loot that can make him instantly increase his combat effectiveness!
Take, for example, genetic potions!
Only by breaking through the first genetic lock and advancing to the transcendent can he have a greater chance of surviving in this cruel world.
Then, Wren found what he was looking for.
A genetic potion for the advanced "Awakened".
It's still a team that hasn't even heard of it, or even heard of it... Superior Gold Quality Potion!
"Now... It's really developed. β
Wren looked at the potion efficacy instructions written by Morin, as if he was pinching a jackpot winning ticket, and his eyes trembled.
