Chapter 50: The Cruel World
The black-robed man quickly ran to Old Man Mark's head, knelt down and picked him up with trembling hands, and burst into tears.
"My lord, is this your choice?, die at the hands of your beloved son......" His painful voice trembled a little, and all that came out of his mouth was broken.
"Hey, Jim," Locke was a little pierced by his words, and he screamed, "Don't be kidding, don't think I don't know, you're the most important person in his heart, and even just now he was telling you to flee early, and let me, his own son, wait here with him to die!"
"Haha, hahaha, haha," Jim smiled nervously, his demeanor completely devoid of his usual respect and forbearance for Locke, "My lord is asking me to send away your son Locke, hahaha, you are the biggest sinner of the Fili family, the scum who single-handedly sent the Fili family into the abyss, haha, Locke! You will be the biggest joke in the Windy City in a hundred years, the biggest joke!"
Locke was speechless for a long time before he laughed again, "At least, I, Locke, will survive in the end, and you will all die guarding those bullshit things!"
Jim shook his head and wiped away the tears on his face and said mockingly, "You go and explain it to the adults yourself, I wanted to say it a long time ago, Locke, you are really a complete idiot!No, stupid pig!hahaha," he slowly turned to look at the old man Sean and Rhine who were standing quietly on the roof not far away, "Two adults, I want to make a deal with you, use my life, in exchange for a quarter of an hour to bury Master Mark's head, can you?!"
Old man Sean looked at Rhein, who nodded lightly and then flashed to Jim's side, his right hand instantly wiped on the latter's chest, and then flashed back, and Jim did not use any magic power in the whole process.
Blood gushed from his mouth and shards of his internal organs, but his body was still full of strength, and he bowed in the direction of Sean and Rhein before staggering away holding Mark's head.
There was no turning back.
"Can't let him go!" Locke shouted like crazy, he yelled at Old Man Sean and Rhine, and then twisted his head to Lin Kedao after getting no response, "Young Master Cohen, you can't let him go, you can't leave the trouble!"
Cohen shook his head flatly, "No." ”
Old man Sean glanced at Lin Ke deeply before he spoke, "It's almost time, alas, people can't see this kind of farce when they're old, they can't compare to young people," he turned around slowly, leaving everyone with a final back and said, "Patriarch Rhine will give the Bit family a letter, right?"
Rhine respectfully bowed to the old man and said solemnly, "Lord Sean, don't worry, Rhine will come to the door in person." ”
The old man nodded imperceptibly, then disappeared in place.
Rhine turned around, looked up, and made a gesture of no mercy!
The Seventh Elder Eller couldn't bear it anymore, and he was the first to launch an attack, and the powerful sword aura suddenly lit up the entire courtyard!
"Ahh
Lin Ke shook his head slowly and gently spit out two words.
"Not enough. ”
By the time it was all over, and even the fat pig that Jim had sent out of the secret passage had been captured by the Wind Shadow team and had its head cut off in a scream like a pig, Rinko had been able to regain enough composure.
Locke is dead.
The vicious swearing he had before his death amused Linko, but Jim, who had taken Mark's head with him, made him unforgettable.
He felt like he was beginning to understand the world a little.
"Hey, son, your father asked me to come and see you, are you okay?" Serena asked with concern as she jumped lightly onto the big black horse's broad back, squatted down and touched Linko's hair.
"Of course it's fine, it's just that I remembered some other things," Lin Ke said with a smile, "I think it's time for us to go treasure hunting, Mom, and take a look at the Fili family's collection for hundreds of years, it must be exciting." ”
Serena patted Linko's head and smiled, "It's okay, your father, like you, has always felt that other people's things are always better than his own. ”
Lin Ke was speechless for a while.
The first thing that was found was the ownership certificate of the entire Fili family's mansion and the property and other assets, which were found in the secret room of the old man's bedroom, of course, a considerable part of this part of the things will be confiscated, after all, the Fili family is a spy in collusion with the dragon clan.
It didn't take long to find the treasure trove of the Fili family, removing all obstacles* The Fili family, which was naked in front of the guards, had few secrets to speak of.
Neil takes the lead, Lilith follows, Rinko and Serena take the center, and Cher finally, surrounded by the guards, into the family treasury.
This was the first time in this world that Linko witnessed and enjoyed the thrill and bountiful harvest of plunder, and this experience opened a window for him to see the unique and beautiful scenery outside the window.
It also opens the gates of hell in the future for many people in this world.
In the secret passage, Serena carefully stared ahead while explaining to Lin Ke, "In a small city like Windy City, the general family treasury will have some mechanisms to guard, but most of them are only for stealers, which is manifested as a clever design but simple structure, which is not easy to find but is relatively simple when dealing with multiple people, and the storage of treasures is often messy, because the total amount is not high. ”
There was an exclamation from the front, but it was Neil who picked up a cold arrow that had been shot in front of the guards in front of him with a spear in his hand, saving the man's life.
"This kind of cold arrow is simple to set up, as long as you make a simple touch switch on a certain piece of unnoticeable floor, and then put a crossbow in an unexpected direction, as long as it is regularly maintained and maintained, this kind of mechanism is the most practical," Serena and Lin Ke slowly moved forward with the team, "The average family treasure house is only three levels at most, if there are too many, it is easy to accidentally injure your own people who don't often enter here, and a family treasure house like the Fili family, which has reached the level of the Windy City Great Family, will not exceed five at most." ”
As he spoke, another mechanism was cracked, but it was a few poisonous needles that suddenly shot out of the wall, and they couldn't even penetrate the armor of the guard knights.
"This poison is not a problem for heavily armored knights, but it is often deadly for ordinary people and spellcasters," Serena said, nodding Linko's head, "You're a spellcaster." ”
Lin Ke looked depressed.
"But these experiences are only applicable to a small town like Windy City and a small nobleman like the Fili family, I have heard your grandfather say," Serena said with a hint of memory, "He once broke into the treasury of a troubled provincial nobleman with a group of strange fellows who called themselves treasure hunters, and he had always had a contemptuous attitude in his heart until he came out of there alive, and he knew that if he had entered there alone, he would probably be ** You have to explain it there, you must know that at that time, your grandfather was already a high-level existence of great power. ”
"Treasure hunter?" asked Linko curiously, "Could it be a special class similar to a bounty hunter?"
"Probably," Serena said a little uncertainly, "Your grandfather didn't tell me much about those people, but he told me that the treasury of the great noble family is full of risks, and some important locations will even set up powerful touch magic arrays and magic golems, which can cost people's lives at every turn, it's really unimaginable, how many precious things need to be used for that level of protection?"
Lin Ke said calmly, "But anyone with all the net worth of a person is worth doing that, as long as the conditions allow." ”
Serena still laughed in this environment and said, "Then mom is waiting for you to build the largest treasure house with all kinds of treasures in it, and then tell me how to enter it, and I go there every day, which is really exciting to think about." ”
Lin Ke shook his head helplessly again, he saw that two traps had been broken in front of him, the same arrows and poisonous needles, and the last line of defense was a little unexpected by everyone, it turned out to be a trap pit, and the two guards who walked in front fell straight down, fortunately, Neil who was walking behind them reacted quickly enough, and hit the spear in time to hold one, and the other hand held the other, otherwise there would be the first casualties of this treasure hunting operation here, because the trap pit was full of sharp barbs smeared with poison!
"It's a very sinister tactic, but it makes me laugh at the thought that old Mark of the Fili family has to take a big leap forward every time he passes by," Serena's nature seems to return with Jason's return.
After walking forward for a long time, the secret passage came to an end, and when I walked out of the secret passage, I suddenly became enlightened.
How rich is a family's collection for hundreds of years?
At least Lin Ke, who had seen the treasure trove of the Sky Island, didn't show much surprise.
But when he thought that all the treasures in this huge underground treasure house with a diameter of more than 100 meters could be taken away, he was slightly excited.
No one understands better than he how bad it is to be faced with endless treasures and not be able to take them all.
He gently swiped his fingers across the rows of armor and weapons on the shelves, making a sonorous sound, and walked past the rows of tables containing magical materials, large and small metals, strange woods and piles of magic crystals, all the precious and rare things in the outside world were piled up there here as if they were street goods!
The deeper you go, the more precious the things you see, and even in the end, all the treasures are placed on the shelves in special boxes of different sizes, some of the boxes are made of jade, and some are simply hollowed out of large magic crystals, which fully demonstrates the rarity and preciousness of the goods stored in it, and the shelves are layered and classified, and the labels are clear and very neat.
"The rise of the Mutes family is too fast, lacking the capital and heritage accumulated by a noble family for many years, and the emergence of this treasure house has made up for an important gap in the family," Serena said with a slight excitement, "It is foreseeable that the Mutes family will definitely usher in a blowout development in the next few years." ”
"No, it seems that something is missing...... "Lin Ke didn't pay attention to Serena's words, but muttered to himself.
"What's missing......
