Chapter 34: The Thief
It's an egg-sized ball, the ball of an eyeball.
Because the shape of this bead is a half-closed eyeball, it looks very terrifying, and the village chief wraps it in thick clothes and picks it up with a branch before daring to bring it back.
"Just now, Darren accidentally touched this strange bead and fainted instantly, and it took more than ten minutes to wake up." The village chief said with palpitations.
Thankfully, Darren was fine, otherwise he wouldn't have known how to explain it to his family.
Chu Yun came to the bead to check it, and a message suddenly appeared.
[Ghast Eye (Purple) Lv33,157/300 After collecting evil thoughts as sacrifices, you can open your eyes to summon elite ghasts to descend]
[Description: When the ghast's eye contains evil thoughts, it will constantly affect the surrounding environment and creatures.]
After reading the explanation of the ghast eye, Chu Yun suddenly understood the whole story, and he said to the village chief: "This bead should have been in it when you buried the corpse. ”
"I don't remember much about this, is there any connection?" Ten years have passed, and his memory has long since faded, and he can't remember the situation at all.
"This is a special piece of equipment called the Ghast Eye, which contains extremely evil powers. The corpse is resurrected because of long-term contact with it, and it will affect the surrounding environment and people's hearts all the time. Chu Yun looked at the villager named Darren
Darren's face was a little cold, not like a simple villager, but fortunately, the other party had not been in contact for a long time, and he should be fine after a while.
Hearing Chu Yun say this, the village chief was so frightened that he almost threw the beads out, but fortunately, Chu Yun used it in time.
"Ah, Lord Chu Yun, you put it down, don't let it affect you." The village chief hurriedly reminded.
Chu Yun smiled and put it into the space, then took out a gold coin and handed it to the village chief: "This thing has some research value, this gold coin should be regarded as if I bought it, you have no opinion." ”
Darren's changing village chief looked at him, and naturally believed Chu Yun's words: "You are too polite, I have to thank you for helping to deal with this evil thing, how can I be embarrassed to accept your money." ”
The village chief took the money after being polite, after all, the current situation in the village is not very good.
When the village chief and the others left, Xilu came over curiously: "Teacher, are those eyeballs really that scary?" ”
Rena pricked up her ears too, she had never seen anything like this before.
"It's more terrifying than you think, and it will be affected if you don't reach the level of a high-level magician, but for me it's rare alchemy material." Chu Yun had already conceived several corresponding equipment in his mind.
Hearing Alchemy Xilu, he couldn't help but feel his spirit: "Teacher, this is already a piece of equipment, and it's rare to be able to use equipment as a material to make new equipment?" ”
"Yes, in some alchemy, it is not only possible to refine equipment but even to fuse equipment, but it is too far away for you, so I'll tell you later." What Chu Yun said was already a master-level thing, and Xilu didn't know if he had a chance to learn it in his life.
Shero was not discouraged, and with a new goal, she studied harder.
Chu Yun finally embarked on the journey again, heading towards Seka City.
The village of Seka is not far from the village of Seka, which can be reached in half a day at the speed of a chocobo.
Even if Chu Yun stopped, he would definitely be able to reach his destination before dark.
Rena, who has recovered as a woman, is much more cheerful, and her relationship with Shiro has become more harmonious along the way, and the two of them are residents of Seca City and have a lot of common topics to talk about.
But soon Rena turned the topic to Chu Yun, and the Chu Yun in front of her was too mysterious for her.
"Shiro, what's the matter with that griffon from before, it looks like it's so powerful? Is it your teacher's pet? Rena is still shocked when she recalls what happened last night.
If the griffon were his enemy, he would have been defeated without resistance.
"Yes, that's the pet that the teacher just tamed, and it's called Xiaoyu and it's very obedient." "But it doesn't like sunlight, so it usually stays in the pet space during the day and keeps vigil for us at night." ”
The pet space is an additional function that comes with the Chuyun druid system, but this world also has similar Chuyun pet equipment.
"As a master of alchemy, the price of pet bags is much higher than that of space rings."
The space ring stores dead things, and the pet bag stores living things, and the latter is naturally more valuable.
Time passed little by little as the two chatted, and they soon arrived at the gates of Seka City without incident.
However, to their surprise, the city of Seka today was much stricter than usual, and a large group of people were lining up to be inspected for entering and exiting the city.
"What's going on? Everything was normal when I left Seca City before, why is it so strict today? Rena was puzzled.
Chu Yun's eyesight was excellent, and he saw that there were several wanted notices posted on the city gate, and the soldiers also held the wanted notices in their hands to compare the appearance of pedestrians.
"I don't know who did something bad and was wanted, I'll go to the front to see the situation." Chu Yun jumped to the ground and said to the two.
The rickety sleep in the carriage was quite comfortable, and he felt that he would not be able to sleep again tonight.
Xilu stayed in line, and Rena wanted to go with her, but she didn't follow up for fear of being identified and causing unnecessary trouble.
Chu Yun walked from the long line to the wanted warrant and checked it, the soldier first looked at Chu Yun vigilantly, and after seeing his black hair and black eyes and appearance, he turned his head and ignored him.
"It's kind of interesting, are all thieves so arrogant now?" Chu Yun couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the description on the wanted notice.
There are a total of three people wanted in the wanted notice, two men and one woman, codenamed "Lynx", "Wild Wolf", and "Nightingale" respectively.
These three men were so terrible that they ransacked the vaults of Seca City two days ago and slaughtered the treasurer.
This is a very bad behavior, according to the official announcement, all the 100,000 gold coins originally stored in the vault to be transported to the imperial capital have been stolen!
Being able to take such a huge amount of money with them, this group of thieves called "Night Banquet" instantly became the most wanted criminal, and now they are wanted all over the country.
"You're from out of town, but the thieves of the night banquet are very popular among the people." An old man with a beard couldn't help but come over when he heard Chu Yun's exclamation.
"Huh? How so? Chu Yun couldn't help but ask curiously.
The old man leaned in front of Chu Yun and whispered, "That financial officer is usually seriously corrupt, and the people killed at the night banquet are all bad people. ”
"And since the theft of the vault, some families in the slums have reportedly woken up with some extra silver coins in their homes in the past two days!"
"Hehe, so it's still an organization of thieves who rob the rich and help the poor?" Chu Yun said noncommittally.
"Of course, they're good people. It's a pity that the city guards are so hateful that they actually snatched the money back! The old man said indignantly.
