Chapter 57: Epilogue Welcome to the Camp of Demons
While the caravan was still on the way, Old Dekker suddenly hid from everyone else, except for Fan Li, Ling Key, and Ai Russia to his command car. The walking car was also the only vehicle in the entire convoy to carry "cargo", and its rear compartment was filled with gems, colorful and dazzling gems.
After the explanations of Old Dekker and Rega, the other three finally understood: it turned out that this time the traveler's caravan was ostensibly to transport the collected gems for the travelers, but in fact, among the thousands of gems in this full carriage, the only thing that really mattered was "that gem" - the great secret treasure of one of the original twelve star treasures! Having said that, a large part of the reason why travelers are obsessed with collecting gems is to find this "gem" of the star treasure.
Of course, from this point of view, the purpose of the caravan is indeed not in question.
The secret of the caravan's true "cargo" was known only to Old Dekk and Legg. In order to prevent accidents, they hide this truth from everyone, even Fanley.
Of course, they were also fully prepared to escort the "gems" in the name of caravans and patrol missions. Quietly cobbled together the strongest escort team - the caravan guards were all veterans of the studio, as well as the best of the newcomers, which can be called the absolute elite. Even the adventurers who were temporarily recruited gathered a group of veteran fritters in a secret way. Coupled with the two aces of Aeolos and Van Leigh, as well as the elder Dakker himself, the configuration of this team is already quite luxurious. Even many of the main teams of the Brilliant Twelve Heavenly Stars can't compare to them!
After all, Wanfu is not a cabbage, you can touch it casually - it is definitely a rare small probability event.
Only Ling Key's addition was an accident. Originally, Old Dekker was just to give the copper coin a face, and he felt that having one more teenager in the team could better paralyze those "potential enemies", so as to better cover up the original purpose, so he also took advantage of the situation to let Ling Key join the team. Looking back at this time, Old Dekker felt that his original decision was simply too wise!
Uncle Fan Li was surprised: "Wait, can't you separate the things you transported yourself?" β
He looked at the two principals of the Traveler Caravan with a look of "you're kidding me".
At this time, Ling Jian explained on their behalf: "I'm afraid that's true, right? The Primordial Twelve Star Treasures are all very peculiar existences, and I have heard the teacher say that they, as well as many ancient and powerful Star Treasure Treasures, are no longer considered to be some real entities, but are more like a concept, attached to concrete things. In other words, all the gems here could be the one of a kind! β
"And how did you know for sure you got it?" Uncle Fan Li asked again.
Old said, "Because our Traveler's House has been consciously searching for the Astrogem, we have made a lot of preparations, and the moment we encounter it, we knew we had found it!" But later, after putting it together with such a large number of gems, it was discovered that it was used as a carrier of the star collection...... It seems to have been converted. β
"So you're not sure which gem is the star treasure? That's why when that Demon Crystal was stolen, Old Dakk, you were so anxious to get it back - because it could be Hoshizo! Aioros continued.
Old Dakker nodded helplessly: "However, it should be possible to rule out the demon crystal." It's another gem with magical powers, but it can't be a planetary treasure! β
Fan Li said: "But you still can't be completely assured, that's why you called someone to check it, right?" β
"Exactly." Rhaegar nodded.
Ling Jian carefully observed the gems in the carriage, and finally shook his head: "I can't see it...... Like this kind of star treasure treasure, there is a saying that it is fated to get it. Only those who have the appropriate qualifications can really get it. β
"yes!" Aiolos sneered and patted his magic sword, "The so-called star treasure is this kind of boring thing - it doesn't give you any real power, it's just a 'proof'!" β
"I found this magic sword in order to gain great power." Aiolos said indifferently, "But when I finally got it, I realized that it didn't give me great power at all...... Now my strength is all cultivated by myself in the process of pursuing this sword. And this sword is just a curse that I can't get rid of, and I am just as strong without it. β
"That's the truth about the Hidden Treasures of the Stars - they never give you anything, they just add to it!" Aiolos concluded.
Ling Jian added, "The Artificial Star Treasure will be a little better, but it also has this trait. As a gem of the original twelve stars, I am afraid it is even more so. I guess the gem that represents endless wealth may only be available to those who already have endless wealth, right? β
Reg shrugged: "If it's really like you say, even I don't deserve to have a gem, then only a teacher in this world has this qualification!" β
The four people next to him rolled their eyes in unison, but they also had to admit that they really didn't say big things. If you don't count the travelers, this young man is probably the one who can make the most money!
Old Dekker still looked at the carriage full of gems in confusion: "So, the Star Treasure is destined to be a traveler?" Shouldn't we have to worry about it falling into someone else's hands? β
Fan Li clapped his hands with a big grin: "Okay, that's probably it!" We don't have to have a headache here. When the time comes, maybe the traveler guy will come and get a piece casually, and it will be a Star Hidden Gem! β
β¦β¦
The battle is over, and the caravan has been safe all the way after that, it is likely that they have emptied all the nearby Warcraft forces in the previous two days. In short, the caravan gathered its minions, honestly followed the main road, and finally arrived at the destination city - the coastal city "Gold Coast" on the eighth day of departure.
It is a new city, a rare metropolis without the concept of a "suburb", a city that never sleeps for its tertiary industry.
Today, the Gold Coast is the commercial centre of the kingdom, the most developed city in tourism, and in a sense, the most prosperous metropolis, with a more beautiful and lively night scene than Zeno Ulu.
Beaches, waves, big hotels, top leisure enjoyment...... A vacation to the Gold Coast is one of the "12 things you must do in life" in the minds of almost everyone in the Kingdom!
This commercial city is also home to the headquarters of the Travellers' Chamber of Commerce β of course, almost all of the major chambers of commerce are located here.
The traveler himself is also very fond of the city, and spends most of his time staying here, rather than Tongwan City, the headquarters of the Traveler's Home Studio. Thus the Traveller is also the de facto "Mayor" of the Gold Coast.
When Reg arrived here, he was considered to be home, and with a wave of his hand, he paid pensions to the guards and adventurers who died in battle according to the prescribed standard ten times the standard. At the same time, the surviving adventurers also receive a handsome commission and a one-year membership card that gives them free access to the Travelers' Chamber of Commerce's properties in the city.
Considering the influence of the traveler here and the size of the traveler's chamber of commerce, this gold card is almost a "city-wide" credential! All your food, clothing, housing and transportation on the Gold Coast are paid for by the Travellers' Chamber of Commerce...... Of course, purchases such as shopping and gambling are not included.
In the various trading markets, both overtly and covertly, one such card is directly equivalent to a five-star high-level quest - that is, in millions or more!
When he first came to this city, Ling Jian was moved to almost tears!
This is the real city! High-rise buildings, busy traffic, neon lights that light up the sky, endless streams of tourists, and shops that stay all night......
In the entire human world, only this place is the "city" in Ling Key's understanding!
After the caravan was disbanded, Ling Jian also used this gold card to stay in the city for a few days. After all, there are top hotels to stay in, and of course he won't be polite.
However, Ling Key did not covet the luxurious life here, and three days later, on February 25, Ling Key once again joined a caravan of the Travelers' Chamber of Commerce and left the Gold Coast.
In the next half a year, Ling Key followed the caravan and traveled all the way to most of the kingdom, seeing almost all the major cities in the country. Although there are battles and adventures in the journey, they are not worth mentioning at all compared to the first time when Old Dekker led the team.
Of course, this is the normal pattern of business.
Ling Key wasn't wandering around aimlessly eitherβhe was looking for a place to stay.
During this period, Uncle Fan Li deliberately found a caravan companion more than once, still for the purpose of recruiting Ling Key to join his studio.
In the end, Ling Key, who felt that he had had had enough adventure, still failed to find a favorite place to settle down. So he decided to accept Uncle Fanley's invitation.
In mid-August, Ling Jian said goodbye to the caravan that had been with him for half a year and went to Yining City alone.
"It just so happens that Master Liu Gongxuan is also in Yining City. Even if you don't join the studio, it's great to be able to continue your cultivation. β
It wasn't until Ling Jian boarded the intercity bus to Yining City that he finally knew that the "Our Family Studio" that Uncle Fan Li had been tirelessly talking about was actually the "Demon Camp" of the Seventh Seat of the Brilliant Twelve Heavenly Stars!
That wonderful Witcher Studio, the youngest Twelve Celestial Star Studio in history!
No wonder that uncle was able to talk and laugh in front of old Dake, and even openly robbed the Traveler's House after that......
After arriving in Yining City, Ling Jian found that he suddenly fell in love with the city. It's a big city, but it's far from being as prosperous as Zeno-Ulu and the Gold Coast, and the night in Yining City is still an ancient and self-conscious "curfew" - it was the quiet but safe night here that made Ling Key decide to stay here immediately!
Then he bought a nice house, but no one cared about it because it was on the edge of the city.
Finally, Ling Key once again has a real "home" of his own in this world.
The day after deciding where to live, Ling Key arrived at the Demon Camp.
"Welcome to the Camp of Demons!" As soon as he walked through the door, the smiling girl with dark hair and dressed as a waitress said to him.
