Chapter 56: Adelon

Located in the northwest of Calradia, Adren is a small corner of the city.

To the west and south of it are endless snow-capped mountains, the peaks of which are so steep and difficult to climb that no one has been able to see what is on that side of the mountain.

To the north is the endless sea. Due to the strange topography of Adron, its coastline is full of steep cliffs, few sandy coves, and most of the sea is full of reef whirlpools, which are difficult to navigate, so there are few boats to dock here, except for a few small sampans made by locals.

Adren's only access to the outside world is a path leading to Fort Cherbek, which passes through a dense forest.

Due to its remote location and inaccessibility, it is basically a subsistence farming life, coupled with a lack of minerals and specialties, so few people pay attention here.

In short, Adren can be said to be a paradise or a forgotten land.

Today, the land welcomes several strange guests.

A few tall horses slowly walked into the village, and the villagers and some urchins watched the tall horses from a distance. No one dared to approach. In normal times, no one patronizes this barren hamlet except the tax collector of Fort Cerbek. And even the tax collector usually rides a pack horse, far less than these war horses in vests.

In the midst of the villagers' discussions, Li Mu and the others went straight to the house of the village chief in the center of the village.

"Hello, honorable village chief, we are a few lost mercenaries who have come here on the haughty pleasure of being able to get a room to rest in, for which we can pay some money, or use this instead." As he spoke, Li Mu asked Manid to take out some bows and arrows and throwing spears. These things are all trophies obtained by killing the pirates, and some of them have been left behind under Li Mu's mastery.

The village chief's eyes lit up when he saw these things. Although these bows and arrows and throwing spears were a bunch of rags that could only be exchanged for money to Li Mu, they were excellent hunting tools for them. It's much, much better than their homemade throwing guns and bows and arrows. The excited village chief immediately gave up the best house in the village and had a sumptuous dinner prepared for several guests from afar.

The sumptuous dinner here is actually a few fresh fish and some vegetables, and some wild fruits from the woods.

Although this meal is very simple in the eyes of Li Mu and others, it can be regarded as a rare delicacy here.

"You can use it slowly, if you need to send someone to greet the old man, as long as we can do it, we will try to help." The old man prepared dinner and slowly withdrew.

"Old man walk slowly, we don't have anything to do, as long as there is a place to rest." Mama Tea said as she soaked the bread in the fish soup.

After the outsiders left completely, Mama Chayou went out for a turn, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping around the house, she returned to the house and closed the door carefully, "Boss, it's all checked, what are you bringing us over, it's so mysterious." ”

"Yes, boss, you didn't tell us when we asked you along the way, so we should tell us when we're here." Jamila also helped. After all, one has a question in his heart, and it is really uncomfortable to always be unable to solve it.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, do you know the holy stone?" Li Mu showed a mysterious smile, if it was in the original world, then Li Mu would be regarded as selling health care products nine times out of ten.

"Holy Stone? A divine stone with magical powers left behind by Henry, the Holy King? Jamila was the most knowledgeable of the men, and she gave the answer uncertainly after a little recollection.

"That's right, it's the holy stone left by Henry, the Holy King." Li Mu touched Yamila's head and gave her an affirmative smile.

"Holy King Henry? Oh my God, wasn't he a man hundreds of years ago? How could there be anything that could have been handed down. Kress said incredulously. The story of Henry, the Holy King, is a household name in Calradia, known to women and children. The popularity can be called the Carradian version of "Journey to the West". The five powerful kingdoms on the continent today were actually split from the Holy Bretanian Empire established by the Holy King Henry.

"Stupid, it's said to be a holy stone, so it's naturally extraordinary. It's not a problem to keep it for a few hundred years at all," Mama Tea casually struck Cress, and then turned to Li Mu, "Boss, how much do you say the holy stone is worth, something hundreds of years ago, how much is it an antique, I heard that many nobles like to collect old things, and the older the year, the more they like it." ”

"It's strange what a rich man thinks." As the daughter of an Orion, Kress naturally scoffed at this act of collecting antiques. In her values, weapons and food are the most valuable assets. Antique? What is that? Can you eat it?

"If the boss wants to sell it, I have a way, I know many nobles from the Ryordian Kingdom and the Rhodoc Kingdom, and they like to put a few antiques of some years in their homes, Saint King Henry's things, I think how can they be worth tens of thousands of dinars." Manid thought for a moment, then quoted a price.

"God, there are hundreds of thousands of dinars, are those nobles crazy? Tens of thousands of dinars could buy a rich village. Kress said incredulously.

"It's still a conservative price. Last time I was a guest at a nobleman's house, a sword used by a general during the time of the Holy King Henry was worth as much as 100,000 dinars. Moreover, this saber has rusted and can only be used as a craft. I think the things that Saint Wang Heng has used should be of higher value. Manid thought for a moment and told him what had happened to him.

"Boss, let's go find the holy stone, get a piece and sell it, and basically don't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives." After listening to Manid's narration, Mama Tea immediately came to her senses.

"Since you all know about the Holy Stone, it's easy to do. At least I don't need to introduce it. Li Mu took a sip of water with a smile and then continued, "But it is impossible to sell, not to mention how we can prove to others that this stone was used by Saint Wang Heng, even if it can be proved, I will not sell it, because these stones are useful to me, even if it is a golden mountain in front of me, I will not be tempted." ”

This sentence is true, as long as Jinshan Yinshan can't bring out the game copy, it will be a pile of waste for Li Mu. Moreover, Li Mu, who has Woking's money bag, really doesn't look down on wealth.

"But," Li Mu looked at the disappointed expressions of several people and changed his tone again, "If you make a big contribution in this operation, then I can compensate you for some of the money in my personal capacity, even if I personally buy these holy stones." Also, if you have a favorite piece of equipment among the loot in the future, you can also buy it through internal bidding. ”

Hearing Li Mu's promise, everyone became excited again. They care about whether they can get the benefits, and they don't care too much about where the benefits come from.

"So what are you waiting for, boss, when are we going to work?" Mama Tea was the most excited, he was still holding Manid and his team with a large amount of debt, and was looking for a chance to pay it off.

Li Mu spread the map on the table, "According to my calculations, the holy stone should be hidden in this place. ”
