Chapter Seventy-Seven: It's Close

Chapter Seventy-Seven

Joseph still didn't move, just quietly watched the two of them go about their work. It wasn't until Su Yuan handed the key back to him that he raised his head slightly and said.

"What's that Greene from Portland, you're talking about?"

"Nick, Nick. Burkhold. He's a cop and he's a good guy. You can go to him. ”

"Does he have Sophia's handmade wooden bed there?" Joseph asked with a smile.

"......Well, we've got enough clues now. Therefore, the essence of the key is no longer useful. I can tell Nick to sell the key. The royal family will surely come up with a satisfactory price. When the time comes, you can ask him to buy you one. ”

"Hahahaha, I really didn't expect these keys to be used like this. Interestingly, as far as I know, there are two in the hands of the royal family. So, my three here, plus Nick's two, are all the keys the royal family needs. What price do you think they will offer? ”

"I don't know much about the royal family's finances, but for an 800-year-old secret to be able to 'rule the world'? Ten million dollars? Su Yuan said with some uncertainty.

"Hehehe, 10 million, that's too little. I think 100 million dollars is about the same. ”

Su Yuan and Monroe simply packed up a little stuff and prepared to go to Germany overnight. But before they could go out, Joseph suddenly said something.

"Boy, if you do find that secret. Remember to bring it for me to see. I'm waiting for you in Portland. ”

…………………………

On the plane, Monroe hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask that question.

"Why? Instead of giving him a proper reason, you forcibly snatched the key. But Joseph did not oppose you? ”

"Hehe, Monroe. What do you think will happen if a family guards a secret for 800 years? ”

"...... tired. Do you think Joseph is tired of his mission? ”

"Tired? Perhaps, but that's not the main reason. Joseph was a warrior with a heart of steel. He may have this sentiment, but it is not the main thing. I've always believed that one of the most irrepressible human emotions is curiosity. Even the Seven Great Families of the year actually did not leave a clear text to explain what that thing was. So, do you think Joseph would be curious about that thing? (This explanation is actually super low.) If I were a great god, there would be someone in this chapter who would explain it for me. I just hit the street, so I explained to myself why Joseph didn't stop it. )

Black Forest, Germany.

The name Black Forest, when it sounds, feels like a forbidden place on a fantasy continent. The Black Forest in reality, for many years, is actually similar. But in the last 100 years, everything has changed.

The great increase in industrial power has gradually lost the mystery of things like forests. After all, under the operation of those large machines, no matter how dense the trees, they become as fragile and weak as chopsticks. In less than a hundred years, the outer perimeter of the Black Forest has been completely destroyed.

Fortunately, this is when environmental awareness began to prevail. The destruction of the Black Forest was stopped. The primeval forest inside has been preserved. Otherwise, Su Yuan estimated that the so-called secret would have been discovered by the locust-like human felling team a long time ago.

Monroe worked on the map day and night. It took more than a dozen hours to finally determine a general direction.

"Let me start by saying that this map is seriously non-standard according to current theory. And as we saw along the way, the surrounding environment is completely different from what it was 800 years ago. So, I can't vouch for the accuracy of this location. "Monroe is actually a little weak-hearted, he used to boast about his own Beheim-style map, and now he realizes that this work is a bit thankless.

"Don't worry, Monroe. I will not be angry with you. Even if the map is accurate, we may not be able to follow it to find a target. So, move on. Sometimes treasure hunts require a bit of luck. ”

In Su Yuan's memory, there seemed to be a village not far from that place. And it's a Vieson village. A lot of the Wiesen wildness in it is still there, and there is a certain danger. However, the two walked for most of the day, and Su Yuan never saw anything similar.

It took a whole day, and the two had already gone deep into the Black Forest. But there is never the slightest clue as to where the treasure is. Su Yuan used his various abilities, vibration wave sensing, super vision or something. But no clues were ever found.

In the middle of the night, the two set up a tent in the jungle to rest. Su Yuan faintly heard some voices. Mainly late at night, there is less noise. Su Yuan's super hearing is more able to play a role.

"What do you hear?" Monroe was also awakened by his movements.

"Not sure, like a human voice. It's a bit far from us, get up Monroe, we're going to hurry. ”

In the jungle in the middle of the night, Su Yuan and Monro advanced quickly, and Su Yuan directly exuded the coercion of a fierce beast. Knock back all the beasts around you. However, this almost made Monroe's legs weak. Fortunately, they got along more, and Monroe also had a certain degree of resistance.

After more than an hour of walking, the two finally approached the source of the sound. Su Yuan's body floated into the air, and he faintly saw that not far ahead, there was a small village.

"The front is inhabited. It's a small village. I feel like we're about to find our goal. Su Yuan said with some excitement.

"This is impossible, if there are people around the treasure, it is very likely that someone has already discovered it after so many years." Monroe disagrees with this judgment.

"Oh, not necessarily. The Seven Great Families don't just find a place to bury things. It was a treasure taken from the Holy City, and in those days, it required a certain sense of ritual. I believe that they must have used a certain amount of manpower and material resources to build some kind of treasure land by hand. Look at the village in front of you, which has no connection with the outside world in the slightest, and suddenly appears in the depths of the Black Forest. Why do you think this is? A group of bored people suddenly decided to run into the depths of the Black Forest and build a village? ”

"You think they're Guardians? To be honest, I asked about at least six or more Visen's breaths. There was a savage smell in the nasal cavity. It is highly likely that those Wiesen have preserved some 'ancient' traditions. ”

"It doesn't matter, we don't need to contact them, just search the neighborhood. I have a strong hunch that we are close to our goal. ”
