Chapter Ninety-Seven: Seeing the Light of Day Again

Lin Xuan didn't care about Renard's enthronement ceremony, what he cared about was the four keys in the hands of the royal family. Fortunately, West lived up to expectations and found the safe with the key by virtue of being the old king's confidant for many years.

The safe was also equipped with a magic to defend against counterattacks, but Lin Xuan, who was already a little impatient, had no interest in studying it at all, so he directly forcibly destroyed the safe and took out the key.

In this way, except for the one that did not appear in the original book, Lin Xuan had already mastered six of the seven keys. And the mechanical level of hundreds of years ago is not so inexplicable now. In the original book, Monroe opened the box with six keys.

Renard stayed in Vienna to consolidate his position, while Lin Xuan returned directly to Portland to meet with Nick.

"You found the rest of the key?" Nick asked excitedly.

"Almost, one handful." But I don't think it's a big problem, after all, the craftsmanship is much stronger today than it was then, and it should be possible to open it with six keys.

"Makes sense, here's my one. The pattern on the back of the key should be a map. We need to put all the maps together to get the final address. ”

Soon the map was spelled out. Although a small piece is missing, it is irrelevant, and the burial place of the treasure has been basically marked. It's just that what makes Nick and Lin Xuan a little dumbfounded is that even if they are clearly marked, I can't understand the two of them at all. Of course, Lin Xuan knew that this was an ancient map of Germany. But there is no way to know it. The method and standard of this map are completely different from those of today's maps. Even Google can't help it, it's a kind of map that has been largely lost.

"I know a man who is of German descent. Very proficient in these things, maybe I can ask him for help. Nick said in a consultative tone. After all, the key was brought by Lin Xuan.

"No problem, it's just that you're sure he'll enjoy the adventure."

"I'm sure he'll lose his temper with me if I don't invite him."

Soon Monroe arrived at the bar, and he was immediately attracted by the map on the table.

"Oh my God, this is a kind of military map that was short-lived during the Crusades. However, his identification was so complicated that it was later abandoned. My grandfather used to teach me when I was a child. I didn't expect to be able to use it here. ”

Monroe took out another map of modern Germany and did some calculations to arrive at an approximate location.

"The site is supposed to be in the eastern part of the Black Forest in Germany. But more specific locations need to be observed in the field. ”

"Take a break and leave for Germany tomorrow."

The Black Forest has been mentioned many times in Green's world, but it has never been raised head-on due to financial problems. As described in the plot, the Black Forest is like the 'Dark Forest', 'Demon Moon Forest' and other forbidden places in traditional magic novels, with countless powerful dark creatures and endless dangers.

After walking for a whole day, Lin Xuan and his party had already arrived at the burial place of the treasure according to the instructions of the map. In addition to Nick Monroe in this operation, Lin Xuan also brought a Green Bio team led by Paul to deal with some trivial things. However, when I got here, I found only a dense forest, without the slightest trace of artificiality.

"According to the map, we should have arrived. But it looks like something went wrong. Monroe said with some depression.

"Not necessarily, don't forget that there were no sophisticated instruments in ancient times. They couldn't make the map as accurate as it is now. So there's a good chance that your calculations will be quite incorrect. To the north, about 500 meters from here, there are traces of man-made construction, and we will go there to take a look. ”

"Five hundred meters away, how do you know?"

"I'm a magician. I can do a lot of things that seem incredible. ”

“......”

"It does look like there are traces of man-made structures. It's just that this is the place. ”

"Looking at these stained glass shards, I know that there was a type of building in that era that liked to use this kind of stained glass the most."

"The church." Monroe reacted quickly.

"Yes, this is supposed to be the site of a church. And if I'm not mistaken, the burial point of the treasure remains here. ”

As he spoke, Lin Xuan's feet stepped on the ground, and a wave of magic power poured out. The ground in front of him cracked a huge hole, revealing an underground space.

Lin Xuan had read the original plot and knew the secret room under the church, so he used magic power to easily open the entrance. It was only after this that Lin Xuan's brows furrowed.

"Paul, a few bugs are coming, you can take someone to deal with it."

"Understood."

"What happened?" Monroe asked.

"Someone's stalking us." Nick replied, "As soon as we entered the forest I heard movement behind me. ”

"Nick, your senses are getting sharper. If you continue like this, you may derive more powerful abilities. ”

"I hope that since I became Grimm, I have felt the preciousness of power. I hope I can get stronger in the future. ”

"When you start to pursue power, being strong becomes a necessity. The only thing to be aware of is to keep your heart and not get lost in power. ”

The underground of the church is a pitch-black passage. A fluorescent ball floated in Lin Xuan's hand, illuminating the entire passage. The fluorescent ball floated above Lin Xuan's head and followed him slowly.

The passage is surrounded by a wall of skulls made of countless human or alien skulls. Countless empty eyeholes stared at the trio. If it weren't for the fact that the three of them were all the kind of bold lords, it is estimated that they would have been so frightened that they couldn't drag their legs.

At the end of the passage was also a skull wall, but this time Lin Xuan felt different.

There was a magical aura on the skull wall in front of him, although it was faint, but it was there. Lin Xuan could use magic to forcibly break it. But after hesitating, I still didn't do anything. After such a long wait, it is time for this last step. Let's do it step by step. If you touch some self-destruct mechanism again, you will be in trouble.

Lin Xuan pretended that the time for the fluorescent ball was up, and extinguished the fluorescent ball.

"Well, I forgot. Right away. As he spoke, a new fluorescent ball rose. But for a short moment, North Monroe noticed.

"Wait, did you see that? Nick. Just the wall. ”

"Yes. I see it. Lin, extinguish your spells. ”

Lin Xuan extinguished the fluorescent ball as he said. Suddenly, on the opposite wall, three skeletons glowed blue. Monroe tried to turn the three skeletons, and he remembered the sound of a mechanism activating. The walls cracked, revealing the metal crates inside.

It was a typical treasure chest-shaped chest in a film and television drama. Blue-gray and looks like it was made of bronze. The box is not big, and it is just right for one person to pick it up. I couldn't see the details in the dim light, but the traces of time still came to my face. Seven centuries later, it is back to light.

"All right, guys. Mission accomplished, it's time for us to go home. ”

A skirmish on the ground has just ended. Paul and the others completely crushed the trackers behind them. At the cost of minor injuries to a few people, he managed to contain all the stalkers. It's just that Paul didn't kill him, because he saw a person among the stalkers that Lin Xuan had specially reminded.
