Half an hour later.

"In other words, that hot spring river outside is the legendary River Styx?"

Ron looked surprised.

After half an hour of questioning, he finally got the ...... from the mouths of this group of oil monsters Some very interesting information.

These monsters are not outsiders, they are the workers who were responsible for the construction of the mausoleum, and they are also the owners of the tomb, the family vassals of a down-and-out nobleman from the West Sea, and part-time pirates.

300 years ago, the aristocratic pirate captain died of a serious illness, and they built a mausoleum on the site to bury him in accordance with each other's wishes.

As the owners of the mausoleum, the die-hard elements, at the end of the completion of the mausoleum, they sealed the stone gate and decided to leave it for the captain to be buried.

This loyalty is impressive.

However!

They didn't die.

When the mausoleum was built, the river under the cliff was not the bubbling hot spring river it is now, but a very ordinary underground river, where the construction team drank water every day.

After drinking the river water, they were the same as in the story, there was no abnormality in a short period of time, and after the first person mutated, the stone gate was blocked, and they couldn't run if they wanted to.

Originally, there was a team of nearly 100 people in total, but in the end, only the thirteen who were the first to mutate...... Oh, now it's nine that survived.

They were trapped in the mausoleum for 300 years, and after discovering that they could not die or get out, they went from despair to disappointment and finally to insensitivity.

But they always keep their mission in mind and protect the tomb of their master.

It sounds like a song and a crying story, but Ron doesn't sympathize with them.

At the beginning, the construction team of nearly 100 people could not have been full of pirates.

There must have been most of the real workers, who were lured by them with gold and forcibly dragged together with the burial.

Pirates, after all, are pirates!

Of course, Ron didn't care about that, he cared most about the river outside......

Wait a minute!

"Did all of you come in with the funeral? Has anyone fled? ”

"This ......"

The man who spoke first looked at his companion, nodded, and said through gritted teeth, "Yes!" ”

"The deputy captain and the captain's younger brother wanted to start a new business with the captain's treasure, but we stopped him...... There was a group of traitors who thought the same as him took the opportunity to escape, and we did not catch up. ”

"I see! The owner of the treasure map found ......"

Ron bit down on his cigar and grinned.

Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts!

After all, the foolish loyalists are a minority, and in the face of such huge wealth, it is a miracle that no one is tempted.

Relatives, in particular, will take it for granted that they have the right to take over their loved one's estate.

Smiling, Ron continued.

"And did your lieutenant and traitor, like you, drink the water of the River Styx?"

"That's right!"

The man said hatefully, "So we are very unwilling, since we are all alive, then he must be alive too!" ”

"My lord! Please spare us, we will seek revenge on him! ”

The same betrayal, the rules on the sea are different from the kingdom coup.

After going to sea, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth, and everyone's lives are tied to the same ship, so there is no room for betrayal.

For traitors, the rules of the sea are more cruel and the will is stronger.

"No, there's no need for that, I think he's dead."

Ron said lightly, under the blank gaze of the other party, he turned his head and said to the temporary captain: "Go and see if Rebeck was killed?" Brought in without being killed...... Killed and brought in. ”

"Yes!"

The temporary captain didn't know why, so he buckled the back of his head and strode outside.

"So ......"

Watching him walk away, Ron picked up a sea building stone embroidery needle on the ground, and asked calmly and naturally in the eyes of the workers looking at God for the Nth time: "Tell me the origin of this thing, is it a specialty of your country?" ”

Is there a country in the West Sea that can process Hailou stone to this extent?

You'll have to look into it.

"This ......"

Monsters, you look at me, I look at you, and finally shook his head: "I'm sorry, my lord, we really don't know about this." ”

"Oh?"

Swish!

The thunder dragon Fang Heavenly Halberd tore the air with a "silky" sound, like a thunderbolt exploding, and stopped in the ear of the person who spoke.

"I'll give you a chance to reorganize the language, pirates!"

After the temporary captain shouted the words "Lieutenant General Canglong", the identities of both sides were well known, and Ron was reminding them that he was not patient.

"My lord, we really don't know the origin of this thing."

Another pirate in front of him said sadly: "The reason why the captain went to sea to become a thief in the first place is precisely because the king is also peeking into their origins...... The captain swore to die, and only then was he wanted on the charge of treason. ”

"All we know is that the captain made a great voyage when he was young, and brought back these sea-building stonework. Including this time to go to sea, it was also to ask for help from the group of people who gave him these Hailou Stones in the first place. ”

Hearing this, Ron frowned.

Although he was not proficient in interrogation, he could see that the men were not lying.

When lying, people will expose a lot of small actions, and they will never be as righteous and sad as they are now.

"Is the clue broken?"

"Forget it, it's not what happens, it's what I get."

As soon as he thought of this, Ron played with the Hailou stone embroidery needle in his hand and beckoned: "You guys, pack these things." ”

With that, a cloud of gold began to wriggle, forming a small box twenty centimeters square.

At this moment, Rebecc, whose limbs were strangely bent after being beaten, was carried in and thrown to the ground, and he looked at the mountains of gold in the cavern in amazement, and tried his best to tilt his head up.

"The legend of the ancestors is really true!"

"That's right, the treasures of the River Styx that you have been looking for for ten years in seclusion, these are them!"

Ron chewed his cigar and stood up, and began to activate the fruit ability, controlling the golden dome to reintegrate into gold bricks.

Looking at the two sides who remained silent after meeting, the corners of his mouth curled.

"Aren't you curious why I'm sure that co-captain is dead?"

"He should be able to give you the answer."

……

Underworld, cliff canyons.

The leader of the excavation team climbed up out of breath and lay on the ground gasping for breath: "Fortunately, my lord!" ”

The captain propped himself up, and with his sore arm, he shivered and felt for a rusty iron plate from his arms: "There was indeed a mechanism here before, which was used to draw water from the river below. Judging from the newness of the section, it was deliberately destroyed not long ago. ”

"And this ......"

The captain unbuttoned his coat pocket and picked up a wet notebook.

It was a doctrinal summary of the beliefs of the Lord of Styx, a shoe cult through and through, and Ron just glanced at it twice and lost interest.

"Rebek Road is getting narrower!"

The old scholar is 86 years old this year, and a serious illness almost killed him when he was 75 years old.

There is a great terror at the moment of life and death.

Rebecc, who survived, was thus changed.

Because the ancestor really came into contact with the Styx and became a monster, at the end of his life, Rebec, who was afraid of death, wanted to find the Styx to continue his life, and according to the legend of the ancestor, he came to Alabastan and stayed for ten years.

However, the terrain of the desert is unpredictable, three hundred years have passed, and there is no detailed map, and the River Styx cannot be found in a few words.

Increasingly desperate, Rebek transforms in a breakdown and goes astray, believing in the Lord of the River Styx, hoping for an answer.

At this time, the familiar relief on the stone door of the tomb gave him an opportunity to make his dream come true.

How to say that?

Probably human nature, right?

After turning into a monster and determining the existence of the River Styx, Rebec remembered the legend of the treasure left by the noble pirates, and killed people to save them.

But he provoked people who shouldn't be messed with.

At this point, everything is empty, and the soul is broken.

"Well, it's my business!"

Ron stood on the edge of the cliff, staring down at the dark canyon floor.

"Styx, let me see what the hell you are?!"
