Chapter 55: The Gift of Mystery

Standing on the trestle bridge in Bijian Town, Xu Mo looked back at the vast Qiyun Great Forest behind him, and exhaled a deep breath of turbidity. In front of the Shadow Dancer is the endless Silver Lagoon, the fourth-largest freshwater lake on the Kovarare continent, between Eltien and Breeland, which serves as a natural border between the two countries.

After crossing Silverwater Lake, to the north is the Wardrum Fort of the Northern Army of Breland, and to the south is Fort Arakahan. In fact, Susan had already informed Wardrum Castle of the situation through Bald Eagle's message. On the other side of Silverwater, in Ashwarante, a squadron-sized knight awaited their arrival.

The process of getting out of the dusk woodland was much easier than Xu Mo had imagined. It may be that the Axe Tooth Regiment and the Green Regiment did not expect that they would use flying mounts to rush away, or perhaps the pursuit of the Corona Regiment by the two top teams was not very smooth.

The two top teams didn't arrive from the rear until two days after they were on the road, and there were only fifteen of them, so it was clear that there weren't many flying mounts in the team.

The expected surprise attack did not occur due to Wood's presence. The lookout of the old K regiment used his pupil power talent to see the other party's figure more than ten miles away.

The pursuers of the two top teams looked exhausted in their rush, while the combined team was full of energy. Coupled with the fact that the joint team was already very close to the border of Breyland at this time, the attack of the two top teams in a hurry was like a farce, coming and going quickly.

Because the joint team has two high-level MTs, Shepis and Oak, and two high-level recovery abilities, Athena and Sima Hang, plus the attack abilities of Jill and Leah, the daughter of the Seven Kings, especially the existence of Xu Mo, a super-stirring stick. The two top teams can only watch as the combined team leaves the battlefield and there is nothing they can do about it.

In this final ground battle, neither side caused any casualties to the opponent, as if a friendly match was played and ended hastily.

A day later, the combined team crossed the Silverwater Lake and reached Shavarrant on the opposite bank, where they finally joined the more than 100 high-ranking knights of Wardrum Castle. This time, Shepis did not compete with the Seven Kings Leah for the leadership of the team, however, due to the co-life and death some time ago, the Seven Kings Leah seems to have a lot of good feelings for the handsome and calm Shepis and makes the others secretly laugh.

Xu Mo returned to the team, and compared to the stalkers who used flying mounts and could only drive angel wings, he was even more tired and half dead. Thankfully, with the Knights of Wardrum Keep next, they finally didn't have to work so hard to use their flying mounts to get there.

In the next ten days, the wind and waves were calm along the way, and the plot power of the two top teams was not enough to shake the hundred knights of War Drums Castle, not to mention that this was still on the land of Breland.

Originally, Xu Mo was also worried that Susan would pass on the news to Wardrum Castle, and the wall grass in the northern army would inform the eldest prince Felix, which would bring some unforeseen dangers to their next journey.

But after they saw the tall walls of Voot, Xu Mo finally let go of his heart. Whether it was the wall grass that saw the form clearly, did not inform the Grand Prince Felix, or the Grand Prince's camp did not have an armed force capable of shaking the Knight Squadron. In short, by now, they are finally close to completing the final stage of the main quest.

……

"Old K, the third prince Brian wants to meet you!" Shepis was heard in the team channel.

"Brian wants to see me?" Xu Mo was slightly surprised, straightened up from the sofa, and put down the wine glass in his hand.

The joint team has returned to the city of Voot, Susan and the four members of the Cross family have returned to the family estate, and Leah, the daughter of the Seven, has been picked up by a court carriage.

The reincarnations of the joint team were scattered, some of them, including Xu Mo, who returned to the tavern to kill time, while others went shopping on the street with gold coins, and most of them were female reincarnators. Actually, this is also part of a security concern, everyone is concentrated in the tavern, and it will be difficult in case it is surrounded.

Back in King Voot City, only one afternoon later, Shepis and the others received a hint that the main quest had been completed. It seems that Leah, the daughter of the Seven Kings, has handed over the official contract between Panassine and Breland to the third prince Brian.

The members of the joint team can actually return to Y-space now, but they still have a balance to pay. The reward that the third prince Brian had promised them, as well as the five royal treasures, had not yet been handed over to the joint team, and Shepis was now waiting for the third prince to summon them and fulfill his promise.

Originally, Shepis was worried about whether the third prince Brian would delay the payment of his remuneration after the contract was in hand. However, Xu Mo didn't think so. The third prince Brian is the one who wants to compete for the throne, how could he break his promise because he was stingy with a few treasures, leaving the opponent with a handle on his tongue.

What's more, even if he now holds the mining rights of the Dragon Crystal Vein, it has increased his attraction to the Dragon Vein family and the nobles of the family. It's not that they have already obtained the right to inherit the throne, at most they can only say that they have narrowed the gap with the eldest prince Felix, and the two sides still need to go through a series of struggles. Of course, this has nothing to do with joint teams.

After the first night of the team's return to Voot, as Xu Mo expected, the third prince Brian sent an emissary to the Red Rose Tavern station, and it seemed that he should have invited Shepis to the manor to receive the reward and the royal treasure.

Except for Xue Pis, who had to come forward, the rest of the joint team was of course not interested in these trivial matters, and in the meantime, they had to share a share of the benefits, and they had to return to the Y space, and Xu Mo and they also had to go through the transformation of the Y space before they could return to the X space.

"Hehe, the Shadow Dancer is much more popular in this world than the Sky Knight like us, I guess Brian is trying to win you over. After all, he still has a long way to fight against Felix, and assassination and intimidation are probably indispensable. This kind of thing, Shadow Dancer is much better than Sky Knight! Shepis teased with a grin.

"Get out!" Xu Mo rolled his eyes angrily, and said lazily, "For the sake of those royal secret treasures, I'll go with you!" ”

The two rode in the carriage of the third prince, Brian, on the gravel path of the Cross family's estate. Although it has only been about a month since the last time they came here, the scenery of the maple forest on both sides is still as red as the tide, which makes both of them feel like they are in a different world.

Although the experience of the underground world is not the most dangerous experience in the lives of the two powerhouses, the depression of life and death in the dark will definitely make the two of them remember it forever.

The carriage in which the two of them rode soon arrived at the Cross family's suburban manor, which by this time showed no signs of depression in the past, and the manor was filled with high-ranking knights in full armor.

The squadron of knights who were responsible for escorting them back did not return to Wardrum Fort after completing their mission, but stayed with the third prince Brian. It seems that after Brian received a formal contract from Panassings, the military forces of the Northern Army finally made a big bargaining chip, intending to officially support the third prince Brian to obtain the right to inherit the throne.

The man who greeted them in front of the manor was no longer the old butler of the Cross family, but a middle-aged knight who had returned to Voot with them. Since both parties knew each other well, they were not polite, and the middle-aged knight quickly led them into the large living room of the manor.

The third prince, Brian, had been waiting in the living room for a long time, and when they arrived, the prince of Breland smiled like a spring breeze, opened his arms, and personally ushered the two into the living room.

"Welcome back in triumph both!"

"Your Highness is gracious!" Xue Pis and Xu Mo responded politely.

After the two sides sat down, Brian didn't add any more politeness, clapped his palms, and several wrestlers carried several large boxes into the living room, which should be the reward that Brian promised to the joint team. Behind Lux Lux, five pretty maids also carried five trays covered with exquisite silk scarves and entered the living room, which was estimated to be the five most important royal treasures.

At Brian's signal, the five maids smiled and uncovered the silk scarves on the tray, and the living room was immediately filled with jewelry. And in the eyes of the two reincarnators, these five royal secret treasures all exude the hazy fluctuations of the laws of the world. The third prince, Brian, did not deceive them, and these five things can indeed be called treasures.

Xu Mo held a glass of red wine and looked at the item in front of him with a somewhat lazy expression, but soon a necklace pendant among the five royal treasures attracted his attention.

The Shadow Dancer couldn't help but reach out and take the necklace. The necklace is cold to the hand, and the material should be made of Alberton's royal gold combined with Mithril, but what attracted Xu Mo was the sky blue gemstone pendant inlaid in the necklace.

This drop-shaped gemstone that was made into a pendant emitted an inexplicable light, which caused Xu Mo's heart to move. After getting his hands on the necklace, the Shadow Dancer quickly made up his mind that this azure drop gem was a secret treasure with the laws of time and space.

"Your Excellency Old K, you really have a good eye! This necklace comes from the hand of the High Elves of Zeendik in the Secret Continent, called the Tears of Elna, and is said to be an ornament of an elven queen! Brian introduced with a chuckle.

"Shepbys, I want this necklace!" Xu Mo smiled and nodded, and with a flip of his hand, he put the necklace into the storage space.

Xue Pis shrugged his shoulders, he didn't have any opinion, since Xu Mo did not hesitate to risk his life for the core of time and space, the time and space treasures obtained in the space war should of course be selected first.

"Your Highness Brian, in this case, we will be clear!" Shepis flipped over his hand and put everything into the team's warehouse, stood up and said with a smile. These things will have to wait until they return to the tavern before they are distributed to the others.

"Please wait!" Brian beckoned back, and a knight entered the living room with a tray, and after he put down the tray, the third prince immediately motioned for all the subordinates to leave the room, "Although the remuneration has been paid, the Red Rose Organization's help to the palace this time, the palace will always remember it." ”

Brian paused as he spoke, a hint of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and bowed to Xu Mo, "This is a special gift for Old Lord K, you will like it if you like it!" ”

As he spoke, the third prince, Brian, lifted the silk scarf on the tray, revealing what was underneath.

Looking at the things in the tray, Xu Mo was shocked, his pupils shrank into a small dot, and an indescribable feeling came to his heart!
