Chapter 0417: Endless Mountain Range
There was not much to be found in the girl's room, except for the man's room, and Ashley entered another room, which was quite neatly organized and meticulous, and it was not surprising that these rich people usually had a bit of a cleanliness fetish.
Carefully examining every corner of the room, leaving no clues, Ashley sat on the bed in the room, but he had placed a newspaper on the bed beforehand to avoid leaving clues, his eyes searched the whole room, one thing was very strange, this traveler did not carry a suitcase, under normal circumstances, people would never do this, at least a few clothes must be brought.
This means that someone has deliberately hidden the box, where will it be hidden, he lowered his head and began to check under the bed, but nothing was found under the bed.
Walking around the room, my eyes noticed the vents in the walls, which were blocked by some nets, and it looked like the nails holding the nets were a little loose, one of them was about to fall off, and of course, the most gratifying thing was that there was a thread on the net.
"Clever young man, put the box in the ventilation duct, no one would have thought that someone would do it, even the most astute thief would return in vain. Ashley laughed dismissively. "Unfortunately, it's not the mighty thieves you have to guard against, but the most powerful assistant to His Excellency the Grand Duke of Harris. ”
Bring in a stool and slowly remove the net, the ventilation duct is just enough to fit a whole box, but it is placed in the deepest part, the rope is connected to the box, and as long as you pull along the rope, the box will be pulled out.
The dusty brown box had locks on it, and those locks had some delicate mechanisms, Ashley rubbing his hands. "It's my favorite time to decrypt again. ”
Ashley had a unique talent for numbers from an early age, and he was even able to beat some adults, and his meticulous thinking even found his math teacher unbelievable, which laid a solid foundation for him to become the first detective in the Duchy of Harris.
Soon after, he opened all the mechanisms on it, then put on his gloves and opened the box, which contained countless amounts of money and even some documents, and picked them up, which contained some rather important information.
Finally he put the box back down, and everything in the room was restored to its normal state, as if no one had ever been there, and his memory was just as impressive.
Eventually, he had to go to another target's room to investigate, and then inform his chieftain, His Excellency, of the comprehensive information he had found.
The square of Karon City is quite nice, there are a lot of beautiful women gathered here, the beautiful women are dressed in quite cool clothes, they don't mind having strange men talk, the people here are open, and the girls don't mind spending the night with young and handsome gentlemen.
However, some people are a little unhappy, and Taylor can't accept the girl dressed here. "I don't understand why we're wasting time sitting here. ”
This was also the confusion of everyone, including Sarah, Marquez, and Wyatt, and earlier Downing had asked everyone to come here as if he had given an order, thinking it was something urgent, but after coming here, he just sat on the benches, like real tourists.
"Be patient, look at the girls, the hospitality, there's nothing wrong with coming here. Downing, in a relaxed tone, was more like a tourist than anyone here. "I bet I'll be sure the girl will come and ask Mr. Sara about five golden Caesars. ”
Such a bet made everyone cry and laugh, the person who came here to do business was Downing, but now he looked more laid-back than everyone else, and everyone took out five gold Caesars to participate in the game.
Downing glanced at everyone and sprinkled all the Golden Caesar of the bet at Sarah's feet, and the Golden Caesar landed with a crisp tinkling sound, attracting the attention of the people around him.
As he said, soon a girl came up to greet Sarah. "Hi sir, I think you must be from the kingdom, if you don't mind, we can talk. The girl sat on Sarah's lap.
Downing stood aside and shrugged his shoulders. "Look, I won the bet, it's not as easy as it seems, they're going to take the initiative, we just have to lay down the bait. ”
Of course, this is not the current scenario, Harris V has a keen insight and a cautious style, he will not be easily fooled, so he has to set a trap, he will definitely send someone to investigate, until it is confirmed that there is no problem with the identity of the wealthy businessman who wants to invest in the safari festival.
Bringing everyone to the square was just to make it easier for Harris V's eyeliner to investigate information about them, but the biggest concern now was whether the helpers sent by Harris V had enough brains to solve the deliberately set up troubles.
Back in the hotel, the room was meticulous, the room of the two girls showed not the slightest sign of being turned upside down, and the same was true of Sarah's room.
Looking at the screws at the vents that had not changed at all and the rope that had been the same, Downing had a strange smile on his face, Harris V had sent his best helpers, he had not only discovered the secret of the vents, but he was also able to restore everything as if it had not been turned at all, but the other party had been negligent.
There was a hair on the net of the ventilation duct, it came from Bella, a hair was plucked from Bella's head and placed on the ventilation duct, no one would notice such a detail, now the hair is gone, look down on the ground carefully, the hair moved to the position of the bedside table, someone turned it.
The combination lock on the box is all restored to its original state, and it is not difficult for a smart person to unlock the mechanism on the box, but it is not easy to open it and then return to its original state, and when the box is opened, everything seems to remain the same, but a hair on it is also missing.
"What should we do next?" asked Sara after hearing that someone had rummaged through the room, and as for Taylor and Bella, they had thrown away all their clothes, and they would not continue to wear clothes that had been touched by another man.
"Wait, wait for Chancellor of the Exchequer Sammy to be informed, I think it won't be long. "Harris has obtained the contents of those fake documents, and he will definitely be eager for someone to notify him of the meeting, which will be a good opportunity to break into the power cage of Harris V.
The days of the long journey were not very easy, I thought that leaving Corona Island and returning to the Eternal Continent would be much happier, but this was not the case, Anna found that no matter where she was, as long as she could be with the Paladin, she would feel happy, and the relationship between the region was not much.
Along the way, I heard a story about Selena from the mouth of a paladin, a girl as poor as herself, the difference is that Selena met Cybertron, and she didn't at that time, compared to Selena, her past is like a vine full of thorns.
Of course, she was also quite sympathetic to Selena, and she could now have more reasons to stay with the paladin without being driven away.
Cybertron learned from Anna that he could communicate with Heaven, and although the girl had emphasized that she didn't know whether the hearsay was true or not, it was better than no hope at all, so he had to try.
According to Anna, in the endless mountains of the Eternal Continent, there is a magic door, which can lead to heaven or hell, and the chooser can only choose one of the paths, and cannot go back, so once the choice is wrong, he can only fall into hell forever.
This magic door was built by an ancient magician who spent his life doing it in order to hear the voices from heaven.
His perseverance touched the giants of heaven, who gave him powerful powers and activated the magic door that would not have been possible to open the gate of heaven, and when he saw the landscape of heaven, the magician's life came to an end, and the magic door was abandoned because it was left unattended.
The dangers of the Endless Mountains are intimidating to many who want to see the heavens, and there are many monsters living in the Endless Mountains, such as ogres with one eye, some murderous witches, and countless powerful beasts, and it makes no sense to risk your life just to see the heavens.
Walking along the rugged mountain road, small pebbles flew over the cliff from time to time, falling into the pitch-black abyss, and no sound could be heard, as if sinking into an endless hole.
Climb up the rocky wall to the highest point within the Endless Mountains, looking down on the entire mountain range, rolling and hidden above the clouds.
"It should be there, he said it's a sunny place, it seems that only there can be done. Anna excitedly pointed to a place that happened to be shining in the sun.
As you continue along the rolling ridge, the rocks under your feet keep slipping, and if you are not careful, you will be thrown into the abyss on both sides.
When the sun was about to go down completely, we finally reached the place that Anna had said, a canyon that was just right for the first rays of the morning to shine in, and for the twilight to enter.
There were only rocks in the canyon, and there were no signs of man-made construction, so it seemed likely that what she had heard about the Might and Magic Gate was nothing more than legends.
Cybertron searched through the rubble, he didn't want to miss any clues, he couldn't let the opportunity in front of him be lost, even if it was only one in ten thousand, he needed to use all his strength.
"Maybe the story is fake, I've just been lied to. Anna looked at the hard-working Cybertron, a little embarrassed, maybe she shouldn't have brought up the story in the first place.
Cybertron stood up, a dark-colored substance in his hands. "Maybe they're not lying, there was once a portal here. ”
Anna didn't understand what the substance in Cybertron's hands represented. "What do these things mean? We can think of other ways to waste time here.
