"Are there really any members of the Santarim who have entered the Land of the Dead?" Qin Lun was a little surprised, and then thought of a possibility and looked towards Mastaxia.

Seeing Qin Lun looking over, the highland elf spread his hands helplessly: "I tell you everything I know, but if the clues that Elistin got are not wrong, then the news must have leaked." ”

"What kind of dumb riddle are you guys playing, what news?" Elistin asked with a blank look on his face.

"Since your last disappearance, Mastasia once followed Seaver's expedition to the Land of the Dead, where she found the relics of the legendary pirate Bodan." Qin Lun frowned and said, "Bodean once crossed the Land of the Dead before going to sea for the last time, and now I think it may be to leave an important inheritance or the treasure of the pirates. ”

"Huh?" Elistine was taken aback, she had also spent a lot of time at Baldur's Gate, so she naturally knew who Bodian was.

Santarim will be a dark organization that cannot afford to make a profit, and although the Land of the Dead produces gems and crystals, there are too many dangers here. With the exception of a few low-level adventurers who want to try their luck, it's hard to imagine that Santarin would be interested here.

Since they have organized people to enter the Land of the Dead, the value of what attracts them is far more than a small number of gems and magic crystals, and only the inheritance or treasure left by Bodean.

Qin Lun frowned and pondered, Santarin would get the news earlier than Mastaxia, if the Highland Elves didn't lie at the point in time, then it means that Santarin would have another news channel.

But in this way, problems arise. Bod'an's age is hundreds of years away from now, and although the land of death is inaccessible, it is not completely devoid of adventurers, and after hundreds of years, no one has found the traces left by Bodean?

It would have been nice if no one had found out, but in a short period of time, it was unusual for the two major organizations, the Harpist and the Santarin, to get a clue at about the same time.

"Could it be that someone is deliberately holding some of Bodan's relics to lure others into the Land of the Dead?" Most of the harpists have secret agents and spies, and what Qin Lun can think of, Mastasha also quickly thinks of.

"Or maybe someone has discovered Bodean's traces before, but their own strength is insufficient, and they want to use other big organizations to explore the way?" Rand asked in the team channel.

"This possibility is relatively small, and the Santarin Society is not easy to mess with, and using them is tantamount to seeking skin with tigers." Hill said with a light smile, "Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy in this, our strength is not enough to participate, but it's a pity that this plot mission is underway." ”

"Elistin, have you seen any of the Santarins after you entered the Land of the Dead?" Qin Lun threw away the leftover fish bones in his hand and turned his head to ask.

"I didn't run into it at first, but when the trolls came, they ran into it during the retreat." Elistin smiled bitterly and said, "There are three of them, and their strength is a little stronger than ours." One of them may be a legendary powerhouse, but at that time, they were all seriously injured. ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for the unlucky guys of the Santarin Society who attracted a lot of trolls, Elistin and I could have escaped." Idria on the side snorted coldly and interjected.

After careful inquiry, Qin Lun and the others knew why the elven druid with the form of a giant eagle was lost here.

Originally, Siver's expedition only circled the outskirts of the Land of the Dead, and the hired mercenaries would not accompany them into the depths of the swamp. Elistin can't do anything about it, he can't force people to die.

Later, they ran into a few scattered trolls, and the battle finally began to rage.

However, due to the small number of trolls, Elistin and Idria are still capable of fighting them off. Unexpectedly, the members of the Santarin Society, who had entered the depths of the Dead One step earlier, withdrew at the same time, and brought out a large number of trolls behind them, so the entire adventure party was scattered.

Because of the large number of low-strength mercenaries in the team, as well as the two employers of Seaver and Mason, the kind-hearted Illistin had to stay behind and was finally captured.

As for the three members of the Santalin Society who retreated, they were not much better, although they had Elistine's group of mercenaries as shields, they were still two dead and one wounded, and even the legendary powerhouse died. Only one of the most agile thieves survived and was taken away by the trolls.

"But when we were rescuing people, we only found the three of Elistine, and the other wooden cages were all seriously injured and dying swamp monsters?" Mastasha asked, confused.

"Those trolls are not from the same village, maybe this is their common sacrificial festival, and all villages send more or less hunters." Qin Lun said with a deep groan.

"It's a pity, if we can find the remaining Santarin members, we'll know what they're up to!" Rand sighed and said regretfully.

Elistin and Idria suddenly looked at each other, and the elven druid smiled and said, "Don't look for that Santarin member, we already have a clue about this." But you may be disappointed, because this clue is a bit difficult to understand! ”

It turned out that in the battle with the trolls, those who had combat power had no time to take care of it, and those who did not have combat power scattered and fled for their lives. But there is one person who has neither combat effectiveness nor the strength to flee for his life, so he has to take care of the dead and wounded everywhere, hoping to help.

This person is Mason, the old butler of the Hulan family, Mason is too old and knows that he can't escape, so he stays with the two of them. While everyone else was fighting, he had just wanted to see if the two members of the Santarim Society could still be saved, but he found a secret letter on them.

The old housekeeper didn't read the letter at the time, but regarded it as a relic of the two of them, planning to return it in the future. Later, he was captured by the trolls, and this secret letter was not raided, and in the eyes of the trolls, it was a small piece of paper.

Mason opened the secret letter in boredom before he fell unconscious. Of course, he could not understand the secret language that Santarin would use in the letter. However, Mason was the butler of a noble family after all, and he soon realized that it was a secret letter.

The old man knew that his chances of survival were almost zero, so he secretly threw the letter to Elistine for safekeeping. Esting didn't think about it in a hurry to escape last night, but now that Qin Lun mentioned it, she finally remembered.

Qin Lun took a crumpled piece of animal skin paper handed over by Elistine, the smell on it was a little unpleasant, but he could still see the handwriting. But it is clear that the apostles could not read the secret letter either.

The Apostle's translation of the world's languages is limited, for example, the Broken Sky throws the Apostle into a mission world, and the Apostle Soul Seal can translate most lingua franca, but the local dialect is difficult to speak. As for the riddle-like cipher letters, of course, there is even more powerlessness.

"Show me!" Mastasha took the secret letter from Qin Lun's hand and frowned slightly as he looked at the heavenly book-like runes on it.

"Can you translate that?" Qin Lun asked with a hint of anticipation, the harpist and the Santarin Society themselves are a pair of mortal enemies, and the harpists are all experts in espionage work, maybe there is hope to translate this secret letter.

"It's impossible to know the contents of MeSign without knowing the key." "However, we harpers have been fighting Santarim for hundreds of years, and we have mastered several of their keys. Give me a moment to think about it, and if I'm lucky, I'll be able to translate it. ”

The Highland Elf didn't guarantee it, and the keys in her mouth came in many forms. For example: a book, a specific rune table, etc. As long as you follow a specific law and compare this specific key, you can unravel the content of the secret message. If you don't know what the secret key is, you can't think about it.

Mastasha used the bones of a silverfish to gently scratch across the vellum paper, translating some of the recognizable symbols into lingua franca. The skin paper is very thick, but it is not worried about being scratched by fish bones.

"Okay, only a small half of the translation has been translated, and the general content is still not clear, only that it is related to the Silver Moon Alliance, and it seems to have nothing to do with Bodean's treasure!" After a moment, Mastasya said with a tired look.

"A little half?" Qin Lun said with some confusion, since he knew the secret key, how could it be only a small half?

"The key used in this secret letter is the chronology of the Solo Continent, but I have forgotten the content of the jì on it." Mastasia's face turned a little red, and when he saw the expressions of Qin Lun and the others, he was immediately annoyed and angry, "I'm not a spy from a bard, what's so strange about not remembering this." ”

"Hehe, show me!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, he took the piece of animal skin paper, looked at the small amount of continental lingua franca that was drawn out by fish bones on it, and slowly smiled.

At the same time, Rand beside him and Hill on another raft also had a hint of surprise in their eyes. In this most unexpected moment, they finally trigger the long-awaited epic plot.

Because of his memory, Mastasha only translated a small part of the secret letter, and it couldn't be concatenated into a sentence at all, so there were only a few words related to the Silver Moon Alliance.

Although Qin Lun was as witty as a fox, he was equally powerless when he didn't know the contents of the key. However, one thing is clear, the so-called secret key must be a commonly used book or rune, otherwise it is difficult to use it to convey information.

Imagine an organization using a lone book as a key, and no one can decipher it. But when it is passed on to the hands of subordinates, how do they translate?

Therefore, it is more appropriate to use only well-known books that are commonly used or available in the market. Although this kind of book is a mainland product, there are many books in the world like stars, and if you don't know the exact title, it will have the same effect as a single book.

However, if Mastaxia, Qin Lun and others can't crack it, it doesn't mean that the broken starry sky can't be cracked. As long as Qin Lun's eyes saw it, the Shattered Starry Sky would naturally be able to find the only secret book from the starry number of Fei Lun's commonly used books, and follow the rules of the part of the text that Mastasha had already cracked to obtain the entire sealed content.

Although it is impossible for the shattered starry sky to feed back the deciphered content to Qin Lun, it is enough to trigger the plot mission!
