Chapter 56: The Curse of Aging and the Treasury Key

"You...... What happened to you? Chen Ye wanted to say two words to prevaricate, but when he saw that Katrin's face was pale, and even a few wrinkles appeared on her face, it seemed that in just a few hours, she seemed to be dozens of years old.

Because it was running over, this made Catelyn a little out of breath now, "It's a curse...... It recurred! Take me there...... Seaside. ”

"Hell! For so long, don't you know how to walk by yourself? Chen Ye suddenly remembered the hint of "Katrin's curse", but he didn't expect that in less than a day, he would relapse so badly, he quickly picked up Katrin and rushed directly to the nearest coastline.

"Of course, I'm afraid that you will run away and I won't be able to find you...... You don't know, in order to find someone like you, how I survived in the past few years, and when I saw Mr. Detective, I knew that I couldn't be wrong, even if I died, I would have to stare at you. Katrin said, her voice gradually becoming old.

Chen Ye let go of the speed, and rushed to the beach in ten minutes, at this time he looked back at Katrin, she was already so old that her face was full of wrinkles, the root part of her hair even began to turn white, and the fiery red hair color also dimmed, and the breeze blew, and even blew off a few residual hairs, and the exposed skin on her hands and neck was as ugly as sun-dried bark.

Chen Ye unceremoniously threw Katrin directly into the sea, and with the wave rolling, he directly swallowed her, for a full minute, Chen Ye didn't see any movement, but there was no hint of "mission failure", which made him relax, he was really a little nervous just now, for fear that he would accidentally kill Catherin, and the "hidden branch" that he finally took over was so directly yellow.

"Poof!" Finally, a handsome man with blond hair came out of the sea not far away, and it was the first time Chen Ye had seen Catelin, and he vigorously paddled the sea water to the shallow side, and soon climbed ashore.

"Whew! I almost died, and I haven't even told you, how do you know I need seawater? Carter asked.

Chen Ye glanced at him curiously, it was really difficult to equate this handsome blonde man with thick eyebrows and big eyes with the sloppy red-haired Catlin, he was even more curious about this "curse", was this curse trying to harm him, or was it helping him?

"I thought you were out of breath, thinking of causing trouble with a private person on your back, so you just threw it into the sea to feed the fish, I didn't expect you to come back to life again, to be honest, I am more comfortable with the way you look, otherwise don't lift any curses, it's not bad to be a normal man at sea, although you may only have a few months left to live." Chen Ye responded.

Carter kicked him directly and said angrily, "Do you think it's just that simple? I still have a lot of important things to do! Now tell me honestly what it takes to help me! Although I am a man now, it is not difficult to kidnap a few women for you to enjoy, this woman in Lunt City, you can choose! ”

Chen Ye sighed helplessly: "Is it okay to do less of these boring things?" I have a lot of things on my hands right now, your things...... It's not that I can't help, in exchange, how about you teach me to shoot? I just happened to know that there was a nice venue nearby, and the owner there was very kind and would have agreed to lend us the venue for training. ”

"Shooting?" Carter looked surprised, and after a moment he replied, "Is that all?" Aren't male wizards going to do it with some first-female blood, tongue, or hair? ”

Chen Ye pinched his eyebrows tightly and endured his anger and said: "So, you don't read those weird wizard novels, and I'm not a wizard, although I do have some skills to deal with those demons, let's go!" We had to eat something before we went, and then we had to meet a very important client. ”

[Mandatory side quest 2 "Placement of Sailors on the Voyage" completed]

When Chen Ye and Carter were having lunch, Chen Ye received this prompt, looking at the waitress staring at Carter intently in the restaurant, Chen Ye suddenly felt a little hurt to his self-esteem, and he wanted to use the fork in his hand to hit Carter's beautiful face a few times.

"By the way, how do you want me to help you?" Chen Ye asked, he was wary of Catlyn, and as a woman, Chen Ye always felt uncomfortable with her, but with Carter, this discomfort disappeared, and he was very comfortable talking.

Carter puffed up his mouth and said, "If I knew, would I still need to follow you?" You know better than I do! His appearance is not good-looking, and it can even be said to be vulgar, but the women around him are like, looking at him with a dumb smile on their faces.

Chen Ye lowered his head, out of sight, and after taking a few bites of beef, he said: "Breaking the curse is based on the phase and the root, this curse has been planted in you for eight years, and even led your life to the end, if you are forced to pull it out, you will die instantly, and now you are almost barely surviving by this evil curse, during this period, you have to constantly contact the seawater, because the sea water is the medium, the evil god, through this medium to transmit its power to you, to maintain your life." ”

"If you want to break the curse, you need to find this evil god, it is the root, and you can't destroy it, you can only negotiate terms with it, let him release your soul and compensate for your life, which will pay a greater price, maybe the pain you never want to bear, what I said is not a joke, perhaps, spending these months at sea happily is the best choice." Chen Ye continued, using his limited understanding of "spells" to make an answer.

Carter glared at him and asked, "If it were you, would you?" Willing to wait for death? ”

"No!" Without a trace of hesitation, Chen Ye directly gave the answer.

"When you're done eating, let's go! I'm running out of time. Carter threw down the cutlery and hurried out of the way.

Chen Ye reacted at this time, and with a lot of force, he even pinched the fork and scolded secretly: "This bastard actually escaped the order, and said that you invited the ...... of this meal."

Chen Ye was indeed penniless, but his badge could be bookkeed, and after signing the order, he walked out of the restaurant and found Carter waiting for him, smiled awkwardly at him, rummaged through the empty pockets and said, "Next time, I suddenly remembered that my luggage was still on that merchant ship." ”

That boat, eighty percent has sunk to the bottom of the sea, Chen Ye thought so secretly, but there was some schadenfreude in his heart, and he changed the topic and said: "If it wasn't for you just now, there would be a noble lady who wants to invite me to dinner now." ”

The noble lady Chen Ye said was naturally Dalima Fiso, and when she saw this special client again, her mood was completely different, although it was only one day, it gave Chen Ye the illusion of "like a world apart".

"There's nothing to entertain in the hotel, Mr. Detective, please sit down." Dalima Fe said that she was now staying at a hotel owned by a friend of Sergeant Peter's, and that she did not even dare to go back to the love nest that Ramini had built for fear of reprisals from the other two competitors.

Chen Ye waved his hand indifferently, took out the "Count Migno's Personal Letter" and said: "It's an honor, Ms. Dalie, I was received by Count Migno, and at great risk, I mentioned your plight to the Sir, out of sympathy, or to maintain the stability of the city of Lunte, Your Excellency wrote a personal letter to a friend in the Inquisition, I believe it will be very helpful to you." ”

If Henier is the king of the underground forces, then in the city of Rent, Migno is the real king of the earth, maybe the royal court of the British Empire still has some binding force on him, then the local court of the city of Rent is just his back garden, and the so-called judge is just his gardener, what this handwritten letter means, Dalima Fiso can figure it out even if he is stupid.

"Thank you so much! Mr. Detective, you are really like the legend, there is no case that cannot be solved! How much do I have to pay for this? Dai Lima Fiso asked, even if she didn't get the inheritance, the badge on Chen Ye's chest and the letter in her hand had proved many things, and she had already won the battle.

In fact, Migno can write this letter so refreshingly, it may not be without his own ideas, Ramini's Voyage Chamber of Commerce is a big help, no matter who inherits this inheritance, if you don't obey Migno's arrangement, it will be a very troublesome thing, but now it's different, the Voyage Chamber of Commerce has become a sediment on the bottom of the sea overnight, and the remaining 180 broken ships have no influence at all, but the more than 100 ships that were stolen by Henier are said to have become pirates, so Ramini's inheritance only needs an insignificant puppet, and Dalima Fiso is a good candidate, Peter's mistress, who loves money and has no ambitions.

When Dai Lima Fe asked to pick up the letter, Chen Ye moved the letter away and said with a smile: "I personally like gambling, although I don't know what is in Lamini's treasure house, but I really want to open it with my own hands to take a look, the key ......."

Dalima Fiso was slightly hesitant, as everyone can see, she is very greedy for money, and the word treasure house itself has a great temptation.

"If Ms. Dai Li is not reluctant, then forget it, to be honest, I am still a little worried, if there are only some photos of old lovers in the treasure house, or a few insignificant souvenirs, I still lose a lot, if I pass this letter to those two people, I believe I can get at least tens of millions of Fei Lang paid." Chen Ye swore solemnly.

"Damn! No way! It is impossible for those two people to spend tens of millions of ...... You're blackmail! It's a crime! Dalima Fiso shouted sharply.

Chen Ye was unmoved, just slowly handed over the letter, Dai Lima Fiso reluctantly took out a key and threw it to Chen Ye, compared to the ethereal treasure house, as Chen Ye said, this letter can allow her to obtain an inheritance of tens of millions of Fei Lang, she may not be able to spend it in her lifetime.

[Obtain the "Treasury Key", the reincarnator independently obtains this quest item, once the "Treasure Vault" is opened, he has the right to control all the items in the "Treasure Vault", but only 3 items can be taken out of this world.] 】

It seems that this is the difference, if you accept the side quest at the beginning, it is likely that there will only be at most 1 item to carry out, and the right to control some items, but after Chen Ye independently owns this "treasure house key", the scope of rewards has greatly increased, although Chen Ye knows that there are at least 3 paths to the inner world, but after thinking about it, he still feels that it is the safest way to pass the "sheepskin scroll".

Reaching the inner world by destroying the magic hole formed by the temple, no matter how you think about it, it is like smuggling, and with the temperament of the book of heaven, such an opportunistic trick will inevitably change the course of the task and punish the reincarnated, and the whirlpool in Katrin's mouth, although Chen Ye is sure that it is a hidden path, the harvest is likely to be richer than other paths, but the corresponding difficulty is also greater, and the time of 3 days has passed for 1 day, Chen Ye's time is a little urgent, he still wants to put the "sheepskin scroll" in order to be safe Get your hands on it before making the final decision.

Since he didn't take the original side quest, Chen Ye didn't get a hint, although he got the treasure house key, there were no relevant clues, in fact, this was also a disguised increase in the difficulty of the task, Chen Ye played with the treasure house key for a while, thinking about the next action.

"Are we going to open a treasure trove?" Carter asked, although he didn't participate in the whole process, but after listening for a while, he probably knew the whole story, and knew that this key might be very important to Chen Ye.

"Don't worry, there's one more thing to do, but it may be a little early for this time, and Sheriff Peter may not feel my sincerity, so let's wait, take advantage of this time, let's go practice marksmanship for a while, you should have something to say, right?" Chen Ye put away the treasure house key and said, the two of them had already walked out of the hotel and were heading to a steam machinery shop near the "Cotoso Steam Factory".

Carter shrugged his shoulders and said, "Chen Yulun, it's a waste for you not to be a businessman!" Why didn't you help me with anything, and I had to teach you how to shoot? You know, this is a technique that I have trained hard since I was a child, and it is very valuable, at least...... You'll have to add some money, it's certainly not much for you, how about 2,000 francs? ”

"Who says you don't do any good? Haven't you already tried the taste of a woman for a day? By the way, that's the first time you've been a woman in eight years, right? I don't think I can practice your skills in 8 years, but without my help, it is likely that in another 8 years, you will still be like this...... Oh, by the way, you may only have 8 months at most, and if you are not there after 8 months, how about I burn you this 2000 francs? Chen Ye said unceremoniously.

The fat boss who was maintaining and wiping the steam car, he saw Chen Ye coming over with a handsome blond man from afar, he wanted to close the door immediately, he suffered a big loss last time, so that he didn't have a good impression of this Oriental now, but Chen Ye pressed the door panel with one hand, and let the fat boss push the door, but he couldn't close it.

"It's not right for the boss to be like this, but we're here to do business with you." Chen Ye said.

The fat boss's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to do your business, you go quickly!" Pauper! ”

"Don't do that, boss, I've got something really good today! I don't know if you have the appetite to eat. Chen Ye pushed hard and pushed the door open directly, the fat boss couldn't bear it, took several steps back, and sat on the ground panting.

Chen Ye made a look, Carter immediately closed the door of the store in a timely manner, and hung a sign saying "Closed today" outside, Chen Ye pointed to the open space, and with a wave of his hand, he released the steam-mechanical cannon that had been put away from the red-clothed police officer from Luffy.

In this regard, Carter was only slightly stunned, and then returned to normal, but the fat boss saw Chen Ye take out a huge steam machine out of thin air, and pointed at him tremblingly: "Wu ...... Sorcerer! ”

"Shut up! If you dare to say a word, you will cut out your tongue! Carter pulled out his cutlass and handed it to the fat boss's neck.

The fat boss was about to cry and said: "Two gentlemen, this store is a small business, there are really no assets, there are dozens of Feilang change in the cabinet, you can take it to have a cup of coffee, I ...... I really won't say anything. ”

Carter couldn't hold back his laughter, and pretended to threaten: "Do you think we brought this big guy here to rob you of dozens of francs?" It's not enough to give it some oil! Less nonsense and look at how much it's worth. ”

It feels very good to have a partner who comes forward for him like this, a lot of nonsense doesn't need to come forward by himself, Chen Ye patted the thick barrel, and sighed slightly, if he can bring it out of this world, he won't sell it anyway, the power of this steam mechanical cannon is very amazing, the kinetic energy has reached a terrifying 1600, and there is also the effect of sputtering and exploding, that is, there are some flaws in the attack interval and distance range.

The fat boss took a serious look at this steam mechanical artillery, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, he carefully removed Carter's scimitar, stood up and groped for the surface metal of the steam mechanical artillery, and then took out a magnifying glass that was close to his body, carefully observing the connection of each part, and kept sighing in amazement.

"This is the latest large-scale equipment of the Security Agency, which belongs to the "Saboteur 711", which is prohibited from operating in heavy weapons, how did you get it? It is said to be powerful enough to destroy a castle head-on! You look at this structure, and then look at this caliber...... That's great! It's so beautiful! The fat boss seemed to have forgotten who he was, and began to praise the weapon constantly.

"Isn't it beautiful? This power alone is at least a gold-quality level item, but unfortunately, it can't be taken out, so it can only be exchanged for something more valuable. Chen Ye thought so secretly in his heart.

"7,000 francs! I'm out 7000 francs! The fat boss's eyes were red, and if David Jones was here, he would definitely be a good friend with him, after all, the art in their eyes was very unified.

“2W!” Chen Ye raised the price without hesitation, in fact, his psychological price is about 1W5, but in business, of course, he must raise the price, so as to give the other party room for compromise.
