…

After the end of the Wari Empire's journey, the Night Moon Chamber of Commerce also embarked on the journey to Scott, leaving behind some of the coastal goods of Tash and some of the specialties of the Far North, and then took the mighty convoy to the Swart Narrow Road. There's a new deal to be made on the other side of the Fiano Hills, and they won't stay in one place for long.

In a carriage in the middle of the convoy, two men in high political positions were playing a game of reversi, which was popular on the mainland.

One of the two is a fat man with smooth hair, and the other burly man always maintains a serious appearance.

"General Owen seems to be very good at Othello."

Murphy, who lost this game of chess, picked up the chess pieces and casually accosted Owen with a tone of boasting.

"Mr. Murphy has won the award, but he just ponders it when he is free, and it is regarded as a means of recuperation."

"The general is modest, your level is not low..."Murphy took out a white chess piece and put it on the chessboard, and he took the lead in this game.

"Speaking of which, Scott's Grand Duke Andrew... Oh, now it's time to call Andrew His Majesty; I heard that His Majesty seems to like to play chess very much, and I don't know which of the generals is superior or inferior to him. ”

Owen followed, lifted the teacup and took a sip, moistening his slightly dry lips,

"Naturally, His Majesty Andrew's chess skills are better, I have played chess with him for so many years, and I have never won."

"That's right," Murphy narrowed, and continued, "The general seems to have been acquainted with His Majesty Andrew for a long time, I'm really curious, how did you get in touch with His Majesty Ivan?" ”

"It turns out that Mr. Murphy is curious about this, actually... Well? ”

Owen suddenly sensed that something was wrong, he frowned, lifted the wooden window slightly, and looked towards the side of the convoy;

The clouds were thick above the mountain forest not far away, and the palpitating white lightning fell from the sky and landed in the mountain forest with a loud bang.

"That's ......" Looking at the terrifying scene in the distance, Owen subconsciously muttered to himself.

"It's a thunderstorm!" Murphy answered, he stared at a dark sky in the distance, and explained: "It is said that when a strange treasure is born, it is often accompanied by the calamity of heaven and earth. ”

"Laha ——!"

As soon as Murphy's words fell, thunder and lightning shot out again from the tumbling dark clouds, but this time it was a black lightning, and a huge roar came, and the caravan personnel who were miles away could feel the terrifying power from heaven and earth, and the horses pulling the cart were also frightened, almost out of the coachman's control.

Fortunately, after this thunderstorm, the dark clouds gathered in the sky also dissipated, turned back into a blue sky, and the horses that were no longer threatening also calmed down in the comfort of the caravan personnel.

"Knock knock!" Someone knocked lightly outside the car door,

"What's wrong?"

"My lord, there may be a strange treasure in the mountains and forests on the north side, should we send someone to check it out?"

The head of the caravan asked Murphy through the door, although he was the head of the caravan on the surface, as if he was the most powerful man in the caravan; In fact, Murphy was the supreme leader of the entire caravan, and the head of the caravan was just a blind barrier set up to confuse the public and hide the meeting.

Therefore, in the event of such an emergency, the manager needs to come to the carriage to ask his boss for instructions.

"Go ahead, send two smart guards to prevent others from getting ahead of you."

"Yes!"

The manager got the instructions and came to the rear of the car,

"Walter! Walt! ”

"In!" The gray-haired young man popped his head out of the roof of the carriage, "What's wrong, Chief." ”

"Did you see those two thunderbolts just now?"

"See! What to do? Walter nodded, indicating that he knew.

"Take Nair, you two go and investigate over there, it may have been a thunderstorm born from a strange treasure just now, if there is anything there, you can bring it back. Go and come back quickly, this is an order from the adults. ”

Perhaps because he was afraid that Walter would not care, the manager deliberately emphasized. These powerful warriors have always been unpopular, and if they don't press them in the name of the joint minister, maybe these powerful warriors will go against the sun.

"Your Excellency's orders? All right. ”

…

Walter and Nair walked quickly through the forest, and the ground was muddy due to the melting snow, and they had to use their fighting spirit to hurry in order to ensure their speed.

"Aren't we sent to protect important people, why do we have to run into this mud to find the so-called 'strange treasure'."

Nair's voice was disgruntled, and he looked very disgusted by the feeling of walking in the mud.

"The instructions given to us by our boss are to follow the orders of our superiors, and since the adults asked us to look for something, then we can only look for it." Hearing the dissatisfied complaints of his companions, Walter also replied helplessly.

They were originally the elite of the Tash United Praetorian Guard, and each of them had great strength. This time, he was chosen to escort Murphy on his visit.

After Murphy ordered him before, he was sent by the caravan manager to find the 'strange treasure' that appeared in the mountains and forests. However, the Praetorian Guard, who loves to fight, is not very interested in the so-called treasure hunting mission, not to mention the need to walk on such a harsh ground.

"I thought I could fight a few powerful people on this mission, but I didn't expect to go to such a ghost place to be a treasure hunter; Looking for some kind of treasure, in the end, the benefits are not theirs, really..."

"Alright," Walter interrupted Nair, "it's good to think about this kind of thing, we don't need to say it all, we don't have any interest in those things anyway, let's find our target quickly and go back." ”

"Got it..."

The two of them ran for a while, and finally passed through the woods, and when they reached the area where the lightning fell, a huge crater with a diameter of hundreds of meters was displayed in front of the two of them.

The vegetation on all sides was scorched black by the thunder, and the land in the center sank into a bowl-shaped depression, and fine transparent gravel was scattered all over the bottom of the pit, which was crystallized earth.

"The power of heaven and earth is really powerful, it looks like that strange treasure has turned to ashes, if we were hit by the thunder just now, I'm afraid it would be the end." Nair sighed, he didn't expect that thunder to be so terrifying.

Walter jumped to the bottom of the pit, took two steps on the crystallized dirt, crouched down, drew the scimitar from his back, and stabbed back and forth in the gravel.

"Don't look for it, if there is something that our two emperors can't sense? The treasure must have been reduced to ashes by the thunder. ”

"Boom!"

With the muffled sound of the iron clashing, Walter's eyes lit up, and he immediately injected a fighting spirit into the scimitar, and all the sand and gravel on the side of the scimitar scattered around, revealing the things buried underneath.

"No... The treasure is here. ”

The corners of Walter's mouth curled, and he let go of his figure,

The black dome covered with strange patterns is lying quietly at the bottom of the sand pit - that is the 'strange treasure' that has been struck by lightning!
