Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Map
Lin Xuan finally got the answer he wanted. As for Renard, that underground gladiatorial arena became an excellent place for him to experiment with his powers. It's just that this guy is quite determined, and he is not lost in the power he suddenly gets. He spared the captured duelist, but tore all the participants behind the scenes to shreds. Of course, this also means to cover up himself, after all, he also has some unclear relationship with here.
The relationship between the hunter and the prey is not fixed. There are many specific moments when each other's identities may be reversed. The Grimm Hunter is one of them. Due to Green's long-term hunting of dark creatures. There is bound to be some revolt.
Many of these powerful dark creatures will try to kill Grimm. Some of Grimm died at the hands of these rebels. Whoever kills Grimm will be given the title of 'Grimm Hunter' by the Underworld. It's just that most of them are self-entertaining touts. The title was obtained by killing some old and frail Greens. As for those young Greens, few dared to try.
A young Green has emerged in Portland. Known as the strongest of the younger generation, Green is said to have been adept at using a two-handed sword and slaying an adult troll with his own hands. The entire underworld of Portland was shaken up, and many of the underworld's transactions were lost because of his threats.
An ugly giant, Thrall, is targeted by Nick. Thrall, a murderer, knows he can't get away from Grimm's pursuit, so he makes a desperate attempt to bring in Grimm Hunters to deal with Grimm, who is following him.
Sal knew it wasn't a good choice. First of all, the Grimm hunters are not omnipotent, and they don't necessarily deal with the young Grimm. Secondly, even if he succeeds, he will not end well. Once one of the Greens dies because of him, it will attract the rest of the Greens to go after him in a frenzy. This is also the reason why no one will ever hire a Grimm hunter unless absolutely necessary.
Nick didn't know he was locked in. At this time, he was in Lin Xuan's bar.
"During an operation not too long ago, I got something that you might be interested in. As an agreement, I will exchange it with you. ”
Nick pulled out a glass bottle with some golden particles inside. It was a gold color that was pure to the extreme, and they looked light. As the bottle swayed, it flew wildly inside. It seems to have a magical power, and you can get hooked on it just by looking at it.
"The last wail. This is the jewel in the canary's throat. When the gem is ripe, it is also the time when the canary falls. That's why it's called 'The Last Wail'. It's just a pity that this is just some fragments. I have to say Nick, it was priceless, but now it's better than nothing. ”
"I know what this is? So do you think if it's intact, I'll give it to you? ”
"Makes sense, so what do you want to change this time? Two vials of Fire Elixir. That's what it's worth. ”
"I need to confirm something with you. Do you recognize it? ”
Nick pulls out his phone, which shows a picture of a key that is always in it.
Lin Xuan's face became solemn.
"Do you know what you're doing? Nick. ”
"What do you look like?"
"I do know that this key is the most important secret of the whole inner world. So your honoraria is nowhere near enough in exchange for this information. ”
"And what about adding it?" Nick took out a small wooden box, which opened it and contained an ancient gold coin.
A strange energy spreads out from the gold coin. It's similar to magic, but it's different. This energy is even more bizarre, it doesn't have the slightest lethality. But it seems to be able to have some kind of mental effect.
Lin Xuan knew about this gold coin. It is said that anyone who touches a gold coin will have strong ambitions. There is a desire to be in control. In the history of the world, Hitler once owned it and almost ruled the world.
Lin Xuan thought about it for a while, but still didn't reach out to touch it. He is confident in his own strength, but the effect of this thing does not seem to change by the strength of the strength. In the midst of cautious consideration, Lin Xuan still planned to observe it first. Ambitions such as world domination don't really match his character, and he doesn't have much interest.
"Cursed gold coins. Interesting gadgets. Are you sure you want to pay with it? It's a sought-after thing in the world. ”
"But it has no practical meaning, it only adds to some unnecessary desires and ambitions."
"Then you don't have to worry that he will fuel my ambitions, and I believe you have also seen my power."
"You won't. You know what it does, but you don't touch it. I don't know what exactly your purpose is? But I know you don't have the slightest interest in world domination or anything like that. It feels more like you're playing a game, a game that doesn't matter if you win or lose. So, that gold coin will only disrupt your fun. ”
"Hehe, interesting conjecture, Nick. Okay, but let's talk about the key first. Are you ready? ”
"Of course. It's time to go. ”
"First of all, I must ask you, do you know the origin of your family?"
"Of course, there are records in the family records. They used to work for the royal family, but when they attacked Jerusalem, they got something from the Holy City. They agreed to seal what they got forever. And left seven keys as clues. Then the Seven Great Families were dragged away from the royal family and became the Seven Great Green Families. ”
"Well, that's pretty much it. Now that you know everything, why don't you ask me? ”
"What I want to know is not his origins. It's what exactly did they find? How to use the key. ”
"Well, I can tell you explicitly. To know the answer to the first question, you need to pay a hundredfold more. If you want to know the answer to the latter question, give me another gold coin as well. I know you still have one. ”
Nick stared at Lin Xuan with some anger for more than ten seconds, and finally took out another box containing gold coins and threw it to Lin Xuan.
"Can you say it now?"
"Of course, give me the key, I know you'll have it with you."
Nick reluctantly took out the key and handed it to Lin Xuan. I saw Lin Xuan smear some ink on the side of the key, and then press it on a piece of white paper. Some messy patterns appeared on the paper.
"What is this?" Nick asked, puzzled.
"Obviously, this is the map."
"Maps? This is a map of treasures? ”
"What else could there be. But this is only a part, it should be necessary to collect seven keys to be able to summon the dragon, uh, no, it's the whole map. ”
