46. Treasure Trove
"Good morning, everyone!" As if sensing Ritter's approach, the five nobles interrupted the conversation, looking at the guy who was walking slowly with a puzzled expression, only to hear Ritter greet the five as soon as he walked in.
"Good morning!" The five seemed to see the noble swordsman's robe on Ritter's body, and nodded politely in response.
"Ahem, that, what are the five of you talking about early in the morning? You know, there doesn't seem to be anything big going on lately, at most it's about some treasure! Ritter said slowly with an indifferent face, but his eyes kept staring at the five people, as if confirming yesterday's information.
"Hey, which one are you in?" After hearing Ritter's words, the faces of the five people changed slightly, but they were quickly overshadowed by the smile of the nobleman's symbol, and only one fat nobleman who seemed to be middle-aged said.
"I'm the representative of Duke Sinos of the Vic Empire, I don't know if I'm qualified enough to participate in this plan****?!" Ritter chuckled, and then said with a proud face, in fact, when the middle-aged fat man spoke, Ritter recognized him as the person in charge of the conversation in the restaurant yesterday.
"Oh, it turned out to be the representative of Duke Sinos, of course he is qualified, please take a seat!" The middle-aged fat man seemed to be very surprised by Ritter's identity, and hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, Ritter smiled and nodded, then leaned down and began to listen to the middle-aged fat man talk about cooperation.
"Presumably, everyone should know the source of that treasure, the secret place of the Holy Light Holy See in the Western District six hundred years ago, you can think about it. Six hundred years ago, the Holy Light Holy See plundered almost all the wealth of the continent. And this treasure is the treasure of the Holy Light Holy See in the Western District, which ruled the western part of the continent at that time. It's just that because the battle of Zìyó captured Heavenly Mountain with lightning speed, many of the treasures in this treasure land have not been transferred. ”
"Since it is the treasure of the Holy Light Holy See, it must be very powerful, and also, may I ask Count Siparrot, how did your family discover this treasure?!" Just as Ritter was about to ask a question, a slightly dignified male voice interrupted the fat man's words and asked very directly.
"Huh. To tell you the truth, the surname Siparrot was a deacon in the Holy Light Holy See in the Western District six hundred years ago, because the ancestors of our family were very wise to take refuge in the name of the Human Emperor Pelos, so they were exempted from the purge of the Holy Light Church personnel, and all this was recorded by the ancestors in the family tree from generation to generation, but as the Count Sam said, the protective force there is too strong to be developed by a single family, so this time I came to you to discuss the matter of cooperative development. ”
That's it. Time passed slowly amid the questions and explanations of several people, and an hour had passed. Several people have reached a preliminary agreement, but the specific cooperation will not be decided until several people have seen the treasure with their own eyes.
And Ritter was walking on the way back at this time, the slightly tightened brow showed that he was thinking about this treasure-related matter, and after a while, Ritter opened his brows and said: "Hmph, whether it's true or not, I'll see it with my own eyes tomorrow, and the conclusion will be conclusive, by the way, has the appraisal report of the 'Douxuan Fruit' come out?" ”
When the attendant who was walking behind Rhett heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, the appraisal report of the 'Douxuan Fruit' should have been delivered to the residence, and yesterday the man said that the thing was too precious, so it took a night to identify it." ”
After hearing this, Ritter nodded, and then strode towards the direction of the house where he lived, and after a while, Ritter returned to the front of the house, only to see a magic crystal plate lying quietly on the green lawn, Ritter picked it up, and put a seal representing the Duke of Sinos on the crystal plate, a magic pattern flashed, and a line of information appeared on the crystal plate, and the message said: "After identification, this fruit belongs to the legendary fruit 'Douxuan Fruit', with an accuracy of 100%. ”…
Then I saw a sudden spatial fluctuation on the crystal plate, and a fruit emitting a ghostly light suddenly appeared on the crystal plate, Rhett hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, and then laughed, pushed open the door and walked in.
At this time, in the residence of several people in Dole, a huge crystal screen was showing Ritter's reaction, after seeing this scene, Dole raised the wine glass in his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "The plan is half successful, everyone celebrate!" ”
After hearing Dole's words, Corey and the others raised their wine glasses at the same time and laughed and collided, and then drank the wine down.
At this time, Bosie panted and pushed open the door, walked in, directly grabbed Dole's wine glass, took a sip, and then relieved his breath, and then looked at the cheering people with a depressed face and said: "You guys are good, this is drunk, even I, the biggest hero, drank it, I am angry!" ”
Bosie's words immediately caused several people to laugh in unison, and Ritter on the other side was also sitting in the house looking at the "Douxuan Fruit" in his hand and laughing, and then carefully placed it in a jīng-thin space ring, only to see that in the space ring, countless treasures were shining, among which there was one engraved with Renault? Alchemical utensils with the word Slark float in space.
This corresponding laughter seems to be intertwined in fate, but which side can have the last laugh?!
The Lukarutm Mountains, as the main passage connecting the Royal Demon Academy and the "Extremely Dark Wetlands" of the mainland, have left their footprints here for countless years, and in this low but tens of thousands of miles of mountains, countless ruins and treasures are hidden under the dense forest, every era and even long before the Holy Light Calendar, this is already a gathering place for treasure hunters on the mainland, but only a small part of the treasures have been discovered, and there are many unknown treasures waiting for the arrival of destined people.
At this time, at the entrance of the Lukarutm Mountain Range, several tall leopard blood horses were riding a few guys dressed in aristocratic robes, only to hear a middle-aged man in the middle say in a slightly majestic voice: "Corey, the mountains are all arranged, right?" ”
"Yes, it's all as you say. But. Dole. Are you sure that Ritter will believe it?! An aristocratic man dressed as a middle-aged fat man replied.
"Hehe, a person like Rhett will definitely believe it, and he will definitely monopolize this treasure at all costs." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Well, you two are still pretending to be nobles and pretending to be addicted?! If you talk normally, you'll die! A crisp girl's voice sounded, but it was made by a man dressed in the same slightly majestic manner.
These people were the Dole Five, and Bosey was still working on the "treasure" in the mountains at this time, while the other fat Keck was picking up at the academy. Just in case.
Just when a few people were chatting, suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the direction of the Royal Demon Martial Academy, and I saw that today's Rhett was wearing a thick demonic light armor, and he didn't bring his attendant over, which surprised Dole and the others, but they quickly entered the corner again.
"Sorry, guys, we're a little late, so let's go check it out for ourselves now, shall we?!" As soon as Ritter stopped his horse, he immediately said. However, the middle-aged fat aristocrat played by Corey shook his head. Then he took out a few pieces of parchment engraved with magic patterns from the space ring, and said: "Hehe, don't worry, in order to prevent any of us from wanting to swallow the treasure **, so I have to ask you to write your name on this contract magic pattern, once there is a violation of the contract magic pattern, it will be cursed by fate, and the family will perish!" ”…
After hearing Corey's words, several people, including Ritter, were startled and pondered, and after a while, the middle-aged man played by Dole raised his head, a hint of arrogant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'll sign!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man played by Lilith first glanced at Dole in surprise, and then said the same: "I will sign it too!" ”
And after seeing the two of them express their attitudes, the rest of the people also expressed their attitudes one by one, and finally only Ritter, who was still frowning, was looking down and pondering, after all, once the contract magic pattern was signed, then the laws of heaven and earth would be involved, if he really did something that violated the contract magic pattern, then the laws of heaven and earth would make a series of blows to his family according to the rules in the contract magic pattern, and it might be impossible to perish from then on.
However, just as Ritter hesitated, a laugh suddenly sounded in his ears, which immediately made Ritter's face appear with joy.
"Haha, let you sign it, you can sign it, anyway, this contract magic pattern is not impossible to break, as long as you spend a little cost, gather a few other signing guys, and I will set up a six-mang anti-contract magic pattern array, and use a hair on your body to break that low-level contract magic pattern!"
As soon as the laughter fell, Ritter also raised his head, and wrote his name on the contract pattern with an indifferent face, only to see that after Cory saw that several people had signed, he nodded, and then saw a light suddenly light up from the magic pattern, and the entire contract magic pattern turned into a point of light and integrated into the heaven and earth.
"Alright, please come with me!" Corey smiled when he saw the contract sign disappear into midair, and then rode his horse towards the Lukarutm Mountains.
After about a long time of turning left and right in the mountain range, several people came to a slightly dark canyon, only to see pieces of white clouds floating in the sky above the canyon, blocking the sunlight that fell in the sky, only to see that at this time Corey suddenly stopped his horse, and then took out a strange alchemy device from the space ring, fiddled with it for a while, and then walked towards the canyon with a few people who dismounted.
"Alright, we're here!" After about half an hour, a small stone wall came into everyone's eyes, and they saw that on this stone wall, which was indistinguishable from the stone wall on the side, a white sè crown type mark carved with it suddenly appeared, and the mark suddenly emitted a burst of intense light after Corey fiddled with the alchemy utensils in his hand.
After the light dissipated, a deep cave appeared in everyone's field of vision, and at this time, Corey suddenly took out a few torches, then nodded to everyone, and took the lead into the cave.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the treasure trove left by the Holy Light Holy See in the Western District, and you can't go over it in front, there is a very powerful protective magic there!" As soon as they descended to the inside of the cave, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, only to see that inside this huge artificially dug cave was a space with mottled inner walls, and a passage made of Mithril in front of it led straight to the front, but this was. Corey's voice rang out inside the cavern.
"Yes." Ritter's face was already full of joy at this time. After all. Even the treasury of Duke Sinos was not rich enough to use Mithril to create an entire passage, and he was already convinced of the legacy of this Holy Light Holy See in the Western District, but a voice ringing in his ears made him smile helplessly, and then pretended to be very appreciative, and kicked a stone into the passage "without paying attention", only to see that the small stone had just approached the passage, and there was no movement. The stone suddenly turned into dust and fell to the ground.
"This, this is the Annihilation Circle?! Haha, Rhett, well done, this time the Sinos family is about to rise! The voice that sounded in Ritter's ears was ecstatic, which made Ritter's mood also cheerful, which also made Ritter not notice the jīng glint in the eyes of the man played by Dole on the side. …
"Okay, I'll look at it like this, we'll start working together tomorrow!" Ritter said excitedly. This also caused several other people to nod in unison, thus. After Corey nodded and said yes, Ritter was very excited to take the first step, saying that he would go back and tell the family and let them bring the contract over tomorrow.
"Huh, it's so dangerous, fortunately, we already knew that there must be a high-level bodyguard by this loser's side, otherwise, he would have been recognized by him just now!" After Ritter left, the middle-aged man played by Lilith sighed for a while, and resumed his crisp female voice.
"Fortunately, Dore's Annihilation Realm exists, otherwise, this time I would have to ask the broken old man to take action, oh, by the way, don't stand still, hurry up and dig down those Mithril again!" Corey also sighed and said.
In this way, a few people who were nobles one moment ago became suffering miners the next moment, and worked hard to dig out the entire passage piece by piece, until the sun set, and several people turned the entire Mithril channel into a stacked high Mithril pile, and at this time, the Dole people changed into the previous aristocratic clothes and returned to the Demon Martial Arts Academy first, leaving Corey alone and waiting for the drunken blacksmith dwarf old man Nosas to retrieve his Mithril.
And Dol and his party, who had just returned to the Royal Academy of Demon Martial Arts, soon welcomed Ritter's attendants, saying that they had important matters to discuss about that treasure, and after hearing this, everyone smiled mysteriously, and then led the squire to Naret's residence.
The morning star at night emitted a slight light that dotted the sky under the moon of Montella, the goddess of the moon, and the city of Paieros under the heavenly dome was lit up at this time, and the bright magical flames illuminated the entire city entrenched in the Feather Plain, and at this time, in the brightly lit Royal Demon Academy, several figures dressed in noble robes were invariably entering a huge spired house.
As soon as they entered this seemingly wealthy building, Dole and the others were led by the attendants to a room similar to a secret room, and as soon as they opened the door, they heard the sound of Ritter's laughter: "Haha, everyone is welcome to come and discuss important matters, please sit down!" ”
I saw that Ritter was not the only one in this secret room, and in the corner there was also a tall middle-aged man standing with his back to everyone looking at the bustling scene outside through the window of the secret room.
Just as everyone sat down one by one and the attendants retreated, Ritter said with a slight solemnity: "I called everyone here today, I think you all have some bottom in your heart, so I don't sell it, dare to ask you if you have the heart to swallow that treasure alone?!" ”
After hearing Rhett's words, Dor's faces suddenly showed a slight expression of surprise, but he did not deny it, which made the corners of Rhett's mouth slightly provoke a smile, as if everything was as he expected.
"Haha, I believe you are all smart people, a small contract magic pattern can't stop your ambitions, to be honest, I also have the same idea as you, so I called everyone here this time to discuss and see if I can transfer that treasure to my younger brother?" Ritter continued.
"Transfer, haha, Brother Ritter, you want to monopolize this entire treasure, it doesn't seem practical!" The middle-aged man, played by Dole, laughed and said.
"Hehe, this earl, please don't refuse so quickly, I believe everyone understands that if the treasure is handed over to you for family development, it will definitely not be better than that Count Siparrot to develop, but it is different with me, after all, my father has also obtained a lot of good things everywhere as the head of the imperial privateer group over the years, and some of these things can help the family completely open this treasure." Ritter said here. I glanced at the contemplative expressions of several people. The certainty in my heart is also a little greater. …
"Of course. As compensation to your family, as long as you agree, I will give you a wealth of treasures in exchange for your development qualifications! I saw that Ritter took out a space ring engraved with the Void Demon Pattern in his hand, and pressed it slightly on an alchemy device, and saw a space full of treasures open in front of everyone!
"Haha, it's rare for Brother Ritter to do such a thing, and I will withdraw from this treasure development on behalf of the Sacaronardo family!" I saw that when the man played by Lilith saw those treasures, his eyes suddenly showed a golden light. Said with a greedy smile.
After a while, under Ritter's smiling demeanor, the rest of the people showed their attitude of quitting one by one, and in the end, only the middle-aged man played by Dole was still pondering.
"Hehe, this earl, what do you think?!" The smile on Rhett's face faded slightly, and even the man who had been staring out the window turned around and looked at Dole in the dark.
"It's not impossible for me to transfer my qualifications, but it's inevitable that these will not be enough for a few of us!" There was a slight glint in Dole's eyes, and then he said.
"Okay. Then Earl, you see how these are added! Ritter was going to refuse outright, but after hearing the voice of the man behind him. With a horizontal heart, he took out another space ring with a painful face, only to see that although there are not many things in this space ring, basically every one of them is a rare jīng treasure, which is also all the treasures that Ritter has looted in the Royal Demon Martial Arts Academy in the past few months.
After seeing these treasures, Dole smiled slightly, and then nodded, indicating that he accepted Ritter's conditions.
And then it was time to clear the effect of the contract magic pattern, I saw that the middle-aged man who had been standing in the dark waved his hands slightly, and saw circles of mysterious six-pointed star magic patterns appear on the ground of the secret room, and then the light flashed...
After a while, Dorr and the others walked out of Ritter's house with two space rings, and not long after Dor and the others left, Ritter was standing in front of the window looking at the figures that were gradually moving away, and said with a painful face: "Uncle, do you really have to use such a big price, can't you just kill a few of them directly!" ”
However, before the words were finished, the middle-aged man slapped Ritter directly on the head and scolded in a low voice: "Fool, you must know that although the families behind them are not as good as our Sinos family, once they join forces, even the royal family may not be able to withstand the wrath of several major families!" And, for the sake of that treasure, those little things of yours are nothing, and even I'm amazed at how little of their appetite is! “
"Uncle, are you sure they won't tell you about that?!" Ritter touched his head and asked in surprise.
"Hehe, you're too young to understand the glory of the family, if they say it, then their family's reputation that has only been established for hundreds of years will be ruined, do you understand?!" The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile on his face, and then said.
And just as the two were talking, they turned many corners after parting, and after making sure that no one was following them, the Doles returned to the house, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard the sound of Bosie laughing.
"Haha, it's just time that you're back, toast to our success!" I saw that Corey and Keck had both been poured into the hall by Bosie, and at this time, Bosie was walking up with a large glass of rum and said.
After seeing Bosi's performance, several people who had just changed back to their original costumes looked at each other and smiled slightly, and then joined the party with a loud laugh.
The next day, early in the morning, a big move brought Ritter? Sinos woke up from his sleep, and after Ritter got dressed and went out of the door, he saw that a pair of sharp lancers were already standing in front of the door, and the middle-aged man was riding on a noble blood-streaked horse and looked at Ritter and said, "Hurry up, if something happens, it's not good!" ”
In a few moments, the pair of lancers were galloping towards the Lukarutem Mountains under the leadership of the middle-aged man and Ritter, but perhaps it wouldn't end so well.
I saw that after about an hour, a roar slowly disappeared into the mountain range after alarming countless demonic beasts in the Lukarutem mountain range, only to see that at this time, Ritter and the middle-aged man were looking at the stone wall that was supposed to hide the treasure with an angry face, where there was now only a deep pit left, and even the floor was written in the common language of the mainland: "Use your brains, idiot!" ”
At this moment, an attendant suddenly galloped from outside the canyon, and as soon as he got off his horse, he hurriedly said: "Two masters, something is wrong, those counts, including the Earl of Siparot, have been found to have been kidnapped by someone, and it has been a week, and several of them have just escaped from a barren land in the Lukarutm Mountains, and their subordinates have just seen them, but they have no idea that there is such a thing, this........."
