Chapter 63: Further
Chapter 63
It is difficult for most people to imagine how strong the fear and pain in the heart of a dying person is. Roleko is Green, and he has seen so many deaths that he has made more with his own hands than he can count. But he still feared death. He tried his best to live, because of the family's mission, because of the severance of the inheritance, but most importantly, because he had not lived enough.
"What did you say?" Rollaiko's voice trembled. Josh on the side hurriedly rushed up to help him.
"Dad, don't listen to their nonsense. Although I know you are in pain, I have to say it. You have lung cancer, which is incurable. ”
"Shut up, I'm going to hear you again. What did you say? Roleko's face was flushed and he was extremely emotional. Su Yuan could even tell that he was holding back a violent cough. Just to hold his breath and listen to Su Yuan say it again.
"I said, that thing can heal you." Su Yuan used clear sentences to say the answer again.
"Ahem......" Roleko finally couldn't help but start coughing violently. After two minutes, he finally gasped for breath after spitting out a mouthful of thick bloody phlegm.
"Where's that thing?"
"Black Forest."
"I know it's in the Black Forest, and I want to know where?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't have come to you. I know the Black Forest, but I don't know the location. I need enough maps to point out an approximate location. It's the twenty-first century, and we don't need a complicated road map to be able to get into the Black Forest. All I'm missing is a final location. ”
Rollec thought for a moment and picked up his cane. With a slight force of his right hand, he lifted the grip of the cane down. There is a tiny bump on the grip. He used the bulge to stab a small hole in his cane. I heard only a click, the sound of some kind of mechanism opening.
Then Roleko turned his cane and poured an old key out of it. This series of actions made Josh on the side stunned. He now began to feel as if he was witnessing his father's hidden side. Their previous gibberish now seems to be a little more subtle.
"Telisa." Su Yuan shouted. Telisa, who was in a daze, hurriedly took out a piece of paper, on which was Nick's key, the map left behind. The two maps are put together to form a fragment of a simple old-fashioned map. Unfortunately, the map still doesn't show the actual location of the treasure. It's just a stretch of the route.
"Ahem..... I've studied this map before. However, due to the small number of them, there are some problems with the way this map works. So I never found a place to match. ”
"I really can't find it, it's a Behaim map. It is a type of cartography that has been lost for centuries. It's almost impossible to find a comparison in the current sources. Well, although there is some disappointment, but at least we are one step closer to our destination. Looks like we're still going to have to find a few more keys. ”
Su Yuan put away the map with some disappointment, and then got up. He said, holding the key in his hand.
"This key doesn't really mean much anymore. But I have a different idea about them. Do you want to hear it? ”
"Why is it useless, the key is used to open the last treasure." Luo Laike became excited, but Su Yuan replied with a word.
"Please, it's the twenty-first century. Do you think we won't be able to break the lock 800 years ago? The casting of these keys is actually very crude, and so are the locks. The most important role of the key is the map above. As for the lock, it's just incidental. ”
Roleko opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything to retort.
"Well, maybe you have a point. What do you want them to do? ”
"Simple, I'm going to buy them."
"What? Don't you dare? It's something that our family has been doing for hundreds of years. You want to ......" Rollec roared again, but was scolded back by Su Yuan.
"I'm sure I'll sell for millions of dollars, at least."
"...... only Green, the royal family, the Green Biological Committee, and the rebels know that the key exists, except for the royal family, no one can afford this kind of price."
"That's too easy, we'll sell it to the royal family."
"It can't be. Royal ......"
"Don't get so excited. Of course, we took the item and then sold it. Think about it, we can get millions of dollars if we get treasures with our skills. Isn't that the best of both worlds? ”
“.…..” Roleko was silent. What Su Yuan said made a lot of sense, but he always felt that something was wrong. However, after thinking about it for a while, he didn't think of any rebuttals. Perhaps deep down he was also longing for a lot of money.
He has been a Green all his life, and he has left nothing for his son. If you can leave millions of dollars to your child, it is of course quite a reassuring thing. What's more, Josh was also looking at him expectantly. He didn't speak, but he was clearly moved. He is an ordinary clerk who is now unemployed at home in order to take care of his father. Millions of dollars, let him be a duck.
"What do you want to do?"
"It may take some time. I have a clue to two keys, but it's not specific enough, and it will take me a while to investigate. I must also remind you of one more thing. Because of the activity of the rebels, the rebels also began to act. Not long ago, a prince died in Portland. For the royal family, this is a declaration of war. As one of the few living Grimm families, you need to make some preparations. ”
"I see what you mean. But unfortunately, I can't protect myself anymore. Josh is an ordinary person, and even if he awakens now, he can't deal with the Hound Monster that suppresses the rebels. ”
"Then there is only one choice, come with us. We have a stronghold in Portland. For now, I'm keeping you safe. ”
"I need to think about it."
"Of course, we'll come back tomorrow."
