Chapter 1706: Hunting for the Shadow (2)
Prince Said's underground treasure room is set up so that as soon as the door is opened, the lights inside will turn on immediately. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
So when the heavy door of the treasure room slammed open, the lights shone on the treasures all over the treasure room, and the treasure light reflected countless times, and when that brilliant light was reflected in the eyes of Palamides, it almost blinded the eyes of the leopard warriors.
"Wow------" Palamides covered his eyes and waited in place for a few moments, only to open his eyes when they had adjusted.
"Sorry I forgot to give this to you. Prince Said handed over a pair of sunglasses, and the prince and Lady Rosetta had already put them on, but none of the big cats were wearing them.
When Palamides took the sunglasses, he couldn't help but mutter, "If you have this thing, give it to me sooner."
"Wait, are you kidding me?" Palamides couldn't help but be a little upset when he saw Rosetta smiling and struggling to endure it.
"No, no, I just forgot about it. Rosetta, the queen of jewels, pushed her own sunglasses with her hand and tried her best to hold back a smile: "It's common sense to wear lenses to protect your eyes before entering the treasure room." I completely forgot that you don't have this common sense. "
Palamides couldn't help but be depressed. It sounds like this should be some kind of unwritten rule among the high-ranking dignitaries and collectors. It's a pity that Palamides is just a commoner, and he doesn't know this "common sense". He felt insulted, even though it was only for a moment.
"Please don't pay attention to such details. Prince Said said a word, as if to make Palamides less embarrassed: "Please come in." It's an honor to show you both my treasure trove. "
With that, the prince himself had led the way into the treasure house, and he walked slowly, as if not just to take Palamides and them to find Eternal Gunir, but to hope that the big cat and the queen of gems would also take a good look at the other treasures in his treasure house.
It's not that Palamides can't understand Prince Said's psychology. A collector always wants to see their collection with fellow travelers. If no one can see it, the collectible is just a collectible, how lonely it must be. Out of politeness, the big cat slowed down, looked around as he went, carefully examined Prince Said's collection, and gave a few compliments at the right time.
From these collections, it can be seen that Prince Said is a standard weapon puzzle, and he is a collector who prefers cold weapons. This treasure room is full of weapons, and gemstone jewelry and the like are almost non-existent. There are very few hot weapons hanging on the wall, such as light guns, and you can count them on ten fingers.
So, Prince Said was right when he said that he preferred to collect swords of fine workmanship and ornate shape, rather than focusing on their actual value. Of course, there are dozens of good weapons in this treasure room that are gorgeously made and equipped with powerful magic power, and can be used in actual combat. One of the long javelins caught the attention of Palamides because its body was as transparent as a glass rod.
There will be no mistake, this is a javelin made by Luna Steel, from the hand of Paramidis's son Segrade, and it is estimated that it is the first prototype of the Luna Steel weapon that Segrade said before. Although two-thirds of the grip of the long javelin was wrapped in a gauntlet made of pure gold, which was a hundred times more plain and gorgeous, the part of the javelin that was used to contact and kill enemies was still made of the glass-like Luna steel.
Thinking of this, Palamides couldn't help but wrap the fabric on his arm armor even tighter. He still wears his Luna Steel Armarmour, but this kind of armour that looks like glass is a very eye-catching thing, so the big cat will wrap the armarmel with cloth to cover it when he goes out. If Prince Said had seen that Palamides' two armours were made of the same Luna steel, the prince would probably ask about the origin of this armour. At that time, it was more troublesome.
"Oh, did you notice that too. Seeing the big cat hesitating, Prince Said already knew that Palamides was focusing on the Luna Steel Javelin, so he took the opportunity to speak: "A very beautiful javelin, isn't it? It is said that it is made of diamonds, and it can cause severe damage when it hits the enemy, but it is a diamond after all, and it is very fragile, and it is estimated that it is the kind of special weapon that will be scrapped after the last use." "
However, Palamedis remembers that this was not what Segrad had said when he sold the javelin. Prince Said is not a stupid person either, how could he pay for it without trying the weapon first. In other words, the current Prince Said is lying? is hiding the true power of the Luna Steel Javelin, pretending to tell other collectors how weak the javelin is, so that others will think that it is just a beautiful toy?
"Yes, yes. Palamides thought for a moment and decided to echo Prince Said's statement: "It's a pity that such a beautiful weapon can only be used as an ornament." "
"I think it's a real pity to take beautiful weapons to the battlefield and watch them break and grind. But Prince Said said, "But this is only a fool's thing to say to me, a rich boy with little practical experience, please don't laugh, Mr. Paramidis." "
Palamides didn't say anything. At this point, he caught another glimpse of the lizardtooth scimitar, which had been carefully tucked away in another weapons display case. Of course, it was also the product of his son Segrade, and the scimitar made by the giant fangs of the thunder lizard endemic to the East African plateau seemed to be flashing with electric light.
They didn't take a few steps, there was already a butler waiting for Prince Said in front of them. The butler muttered two words in the prince's ear, as if he had something very important to tell.
"Yes. When the prince heard this, his face became solemn, and he turned his head to look at Palamides and Rosetta seriously: "Both, there is a little problem. It turns out that my men went out and looted not just one, but two [cursed spears] today. "
"Huh?" the leopard warrior was suddenly stunned: "There are two?"
He had only one of the Stolen Gunirs. What's the deal with the other "cursed spear" that popped up out of thin air?
"It's probably a trick that Beite used to hide people's eyes. Rosetta next to the big cat prompted.
"Cover, cover?"
"One of them is the real thing we're looking for, and the other is a trap that, once opened, has an extremely strong curse erupting inside. Rosetta guessed, "That way, even if we were able to recover the real thing that had been sold, we would end up having to take a gamble and break the seal to see which of the two guns we were looking for." "
A drop of cold sweat broke out on the corner of Palamides' forehead: "Is it possible that both are traps?"
"This shouldn't happen. Rosetta said, "Beite must know that it is only a matter of time before we find him." If he hides the spear, once we find him, we can torture him to take out the spear he has hidden. He must have been in a hurry to sell the spear, so that even he himself would not know the whereabouts of the spear, and he would not have to worry about being forced to confess. "
However, even if it was a resale, he still thought of this last resort. In order to prevent you from getting the spear back, this thief is also hollowing out. Prince Said smiled indifferently: "Mr. Palamidas, what have you done to be so hated by others?"
The big cat scratched his head: "I didn't do anything." Just beat that guy half to death and killed all his pets------"
Then he noticed that Rosetta and Prince Said were looking at him coldly, so he changed his words: "Well, it is really a grudge." "
"So...... What should I do?" the big cat asked instead, "Choose one of the two guns, at least one of the two guns should be a trap." If you don't take it apart, it will explode or something. Your Royal Highness, is there a secure weapons testing room in your villa? I can unpack the weapon inside, and even if it explodes, it won't affect anyone outside. "
"There is, of course, weapons testing rooms here. The prince nodded, "But is this really good? I can arrange for a professional bomb disposal officer to wear an explosion-proof and chemical protection suit to unpack the weapon, you don't have to risk your own life, right?"
"Do your own thing, that's my principle. Palamides then smiled very calmly: "Believe me, I will recognize my own stolen weapon." Even if the worst happens, the dismantled weapon is a trap prepared by Beite, and the slightest explosion or poisonous fog will not kill me. "
Rosetta, the queen of jewels, also nodded to Prince Said, as if to vouch for the big cat.
"Since you're so insistent. When the prince saw that he couldn't persuade the big cat, he had no choice but to give up.
By this time, the prince's butler had carefully retrieved two "cursed spears" from his arsenal. As Palamides had expected, the two spears were almost identical in shape, and even the length was exactly the same as that of the real Zengunir. And they're all wrapped in thick bandages for sealing magic, and it's impossible to determine what's inside without removing the bandages.
"Your men bought these two spears of unknown origin for 600,000 yuan?" Palamides couldn't help asking, "What did the seller say, and was able to persuade your men?"
"No, it's 300,000 and I bought two in total. Prince Said said, "The seller seems to say that the cursed spears will create powerful explosions when they are opened, and their correct use would have been to set fire to the outer seal bandage and then throw it to kill the enemy." My men seemed to think that these weapons were perfect for Moby Dick's hunting wars, so they bought them, they were cheaper anyway. "
The last sentence "It's cheap anyway" sounds extremely bland, but it can't help but reveal the rich atmosphere of His Royal Highness the Prince. Palamides didn't know where to start complaining.
"The weapons testing room is over here, please follow me. The prince said, "I don't know how powerful the curse is, but the test room in the villa has a seventh-level explosion-proof and an exhaust system, so it should be a lot safer to test there." "
"Understood, thank you. Palamides trembled after the prince with two spears firmly wrapped in bandages, as if they were two bombs that were ready to explode.
