Chapter 16: First Meeting?
"This is~" Wright looked at the ruined village in front of him, a little speechless.
The location of the 'treasure map' sign is actually an abandoned village, and from any point of view, it is unlikely that there is any guarantee hidden here.
Wright was lucky enough to search the village aimlessly, and although he thought it was unlikely that he would find anything at first, his face became more and more wrong as he searched.
"No, no!" Wright carefully cut the wall of a wooden house, and then touched it with his hand, his face very solemn.
In the beginning, Wright saw the village as an ordinary abandoned village, which was very common. There are many things that can cause the inhabitants of the village to abandon their old land and flee elsewhere. For example, long-term drought, such as monster attacks, and so on.
But in this small village, Wright not only saw almost intact defenses: the walls and watchtowers were almost intact, although the surface was covered with dust, but the wooden structure inside was very new, and it was very strange that it was very full of water, but there was no sign of decay, and there was no trace of demonic attacks.
And in the center of the small village, there is a stone well bubbling with clear water, in this area close to the desert, the water source is very precious, there is such a well, even if the demonic beast invades the village, it will not necessarily give up the migration.
And most importantly, Wright asked about a vague smell in the air, and it felt a bit like the smell of the body fluids of the scorpion he had slapped!
"Could it be that a swarm of scorpions is attacking from under the ground?" Wright thought about it, this is not impossible, the scorpion has a strong ability to burrow into the ground, so naturally it will not cause much damage to the buildings in the village. But if you think about it carefully, this guess is also very far-fetched, the earth scorpion is not a very powerful magical beast, and it does not have the habit of living in groups, and it is relatively stupid. Those who have the ability to organize and attack human villages in groups are often monsters that live in groups and have high intelligence, such as toothed wolves.
What's more, the buildings in this village are very dusty on the surface, but the internal structure is very new, and it is still full of moisture, which is completely inconsistent with the local climate, and there is no decay at all--- as if a group of people had lived in it recently, and then quickly left, and deliberately disguised it before leaving!
Wright struck a stir, the water in the place marked by this treasure map is quite deep.
Wright's speculation is indeed close to the truth. Of course, this can't be said that the black-robed organization has no experience and has no intention of leaving some flaws. It was really too fast for Wright to arrive, and if it was half a day in the morning, he would have been able to run directly into that organization. In the guise of the Men in Black, it would take five or six days at most for the moisture and heat to rot the wood, and the wind and sand would disperse the smell of the village. The only problem was that Wright came too quickly and too early, and the Men in Black were too slow to get the news.
However, after repeated searches, Wright did not find any valuable items, so he was a little interested. He wasn't interested in finding out who had left the village, and he had deliberately disguised himself.
Suddenly, Wright saw a figure appear across from him.
The pale green soft hair, the delicate face, and the girl opposite made Wright's heart beat a little. Of course, with Wright's will, it was easy to suppress a trace of thought.
When I looked closely, the girl was holding a scimitar and carrying a longbow. The posture of the body shows that this girl is by no means a showman, but a warrior with good strength. And there are several unique thick calluses on the girl's arms, and Wright can judge that she must have considerable attainments in knife skills.
Of course, what is even more telling is the velociraptor following the girl, the seventh-level demonic beast is not a very strong opponent for Wright, but it can already take a little effort to deal with. can subdue a velociraptor , Wright estimates that even if the girl on the other side is not as strong as himself, it will not be too far behind.
While Wright was looking at the girl opposite, Cecilia Baruch was also looking at Wright on the other side.
Cecilia comes from a newly rising but very powerful legendary family, the Baruch family. And another name for the Baruch family is --- Dragonblood Warrior Family!
The Dragonblood Warrior Baruch family is named after the Tiger Stripes Warrior, the Purple Flame Warrior, and the Undead Warrior.
The Baruch family, the Hyde family, and the Amanda family were established early. However, the founders of these three families found that their children and grandchildren may not be able to pass on the special bloodline that originated from them. Transform into a true ultimate warrior.
The first dragon-blooded warrior, Baruch, had a wife and had three children. However, only the first eldest son inherited the bloodline of the Dragon-Blood Warrior. The number of children is small, and the parents naturally take more care of it, and the youngest Cecilia is more regarded as a treasure to take care of, and she personally educates Cecilia's strength, so that she can reach the level of 'subtlety' in the realm.
Although Cecilia can't become a dragon-blooded warrior form unchanged, she can also reach the seventh-level warrior by relying on her physical body alone, and she is the best of the seventh-level warriors, and she can also fight against the eighth-level warrior.
However, Cecilia was also a little surprised when she saw Wright on the other side. She was taught by her father since she was a child, and she had some understanding of some of the realm characteristics of the powerhouses of the Holy Domain. And the man opposite her didn't seem to be too strong, at least not as good as her, but there was an aura similar to the Holy Realm on his body.
She didn't know that Wright's realm was already a great achievement of 'lifting weights as light', and she had even touched the level of the power that attracted heaven and earth. This kind of realm is not only reflected in the battle, but also in every move, Wright's random move will unconsciously attract a trace of heaven and earth power. Of course, if Wright is immersed in this realm more deeply and returns to the basics, no one will easily see it.
"Who are you?"
"It's you!"
"You know me?"
"Humph!" The girl and the tsundere didn't say.
Although Wright was a little curious about this girl, he didn't know each other in places like Sunset Mountain, so he naturally didn't have any trust at all. Holding a long time in his hand, he looked at each other curiously while guarding each other.
After a moment of confrontation, Cecilia first lost her patience and couldn't help but speak.
"Aren't you just such a stupid person who was beaten by the Earth Walking Dragon, if I hadn't made a move, you would have died a long time ago!"
Wright was stunned for a moment, after he was defeated by the Earth Walking Dragon, someone did knock down the demonic beast, which was equivalent to saving himself.
Although I didn't fully trust each other, I put away the long-term experience. Succinctly, "I, Wright O'Connor!" Thank you for your help last time! "May I ask who you are?
"My name is Cecilia Baruch!" The girl raised her neck proudly and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I got a fake treasure map to see if any fools have been deceived!" Wright was almost certain that the girl named Cecilia was the reckless Manchurian Township that Gabriela's sister said about inquiring about the location of the treasure map, and then the girl who was ridiculed couldn't help but laugh a little, but Baruch was a surname. It sounds familiar.
"I... Me too! Cecilia's face turned red when she heard Wright's words. She didn't want the 'treasure map' she had worked so hard to get was fake. However, she also knew that there was indeed such a possibility, and after searching for it just now, she naturally felt that this so-called treasure map was fake. At this moment, when I heard what Wright said, I had a feeling of 'I am really stupid'.
"That's not right!" Cecilia shook her head and glanced at Wright very vigilantly: "No adventurer would go to a location that he knows is a fake treasure map. You're here to ambush me? ”
"Well, that's not right, you didn't sneak attack either!" Cecilia suddenly realized, "You also thought that the treasure map was real, and then came to find out that the treasure map was fake?" And say that others are stupid!? ”
Wright: "... ”
The two talked and mocked a few words, and the estrangement of the previous confrontation seemed to have diminished a lot.
Wright put down his weapon and spread his hands: "I grabbed a map from a robber with the location marked on it. However, I asked someone in the homecoming city, and I learned that there was already a little girl who had inquired about this place with a treasure map, which should be the same as the treasure map in my hand, and there were more than one or two people who had recently obtained such a treasure map! ”
"I'm not a little girl. Wait, why do you know the location depicted in my treasure map! Cecilia's eyes widened, "That damn profiteer has revealed the information about my treasure map!" ”
Wright suddenly noticed that this girl was stupid and cute, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "How did you grow so big." Which of those so-called businessmen has integrity, take out the treasure map to show others, how can they keep it secret for you! ”
Cecilia's ears moved: "What are you talking about?" ”
Wright was startled, and I thought you could hear it in my head.
Soon, however, Wright, like Cecilia, heard a muffled sound that resembled the dirt being stirred.
