Letting the rain splash down, the two of them gradually walked towards the center of the island.

Morey walked behind, staring coldly at the dark red figure in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Charlotte, who was leading the way, was vigilant, not only to be wary of the pirate captain behind him, but also to be aware of whether he would be attacked by terrifying monsters.

The island is not very large, with no steep cliffs, no dense sea of trees, only a few plants and an unusually flat lawn, and the occasional fragment of ruins and bricks.

It's not hard to imagine that people lived here in ancient times.

But strangely enough, the road was unusually quiet, as if there were no creatures on the island except for the two of them.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two of them arrived at the center of the island and found the only relatively intact ruins on the island.

It is a circular altar with a diameter of about tens of meters, the flat ground is covered with black and gray stone bricks, and several huge black pillars are located on the edge of the altar and float up, with an indescribable sense of solemnity and mystery.

Judging from the traces of the stone bricks, the lime that gradually fell off and the moss that gradually covered the altar told Charlotte that the altar had been baptized by time.

The two walked over without hesitation in silence.

Closer and closer, Charlotte found that several huge black stone pillars were carved with various totems, but they were not obvious after being baptized by the years.

And these totems are the signposts used as guides in the treasure map, and the totems depicted on the navigation route.

Charlotte, who was in the center of the altar, turned her head to look at Morey and found him standing not far away from the altar, staring at Charlotte with cold eyes.

The boy sighed secretly, it seemed that Morey wanted to sit back and enjoy it.

And at the moment, he doesn't have too many options.

He walked up to the stone pillar, reached out and touched the totem on the stone pillar, and used his soul power to infiltrate it.

Suddenly, the totem glowed faintly, growing brighter and clearer, but other than that, nothing else had changed to the altar.

"Sure enough, it has to be activated in order, right?" Charlotte guessed.

It doesn't seem that simple.

But in what order do you have to activate it?

There were no similar hints on the previous treasure maps...

(Hint?)

Charlotte was secretly surprised, if there was a hint, it could only be that strange sentence.

The sentence is hidden in the totem and is composed of pinyin.

According to the memory in her mind, Charlotte lit the totem on the stone pillar in turn. Soon, when he lit the last totem, the soles of his feet suddenly shook and shook.

Standing not far away, the expression on Morey's face finally changed slightly.

With a muffled rumbling sound, a square stone pillar slowly rises from the center of the altar.

When it reached the height of Jocharo's half-body, the square stone pillar stopped moving.

When I came to the stone pillar, I found that there was a rectangular groove at the top.

"Grooves?"

The last step...

It seems that there is still something missing.

If you want to get the Secret Treasure, you need one last item.

The same thing that has guided Charlotte all the way to the most important thing here.

Not a totem.

It's not Fu Lisan.

Not even that treasure map.

It's the book.

The pitch-black book.

Whether it's the strange circular hole in his chest or the treasure map that guides Charlotte, everything starts because of that book.

Following Charlotte's consciousness, a trail of black smoke slowly drifted out from between the gaps in the bandages on her chest, drifting into Charlotte's palm, and finally turning into a pitch-black book.

He gently lowered the pitch-black book into the groove.

Then...

The light stretched from the recess to the entire altar, and the surrounding dirt gradually shattered, causing a dazzling light to continue throughout the island.

As the island swayed, the sea god in the ocean made a low sound like a drum, as if responding to the light on the island.

All the stone pillars on the altar gradually shattered, turning black into an unknown substance that gathered above Charlotte's head.

And the pitch-black book, at some point, turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared without a trace.

But Charlotte sensed it very well that the pitch-black book was back in the annular hole in his chest.

Soon, the light faded and the island calmed down from the shaking.

The boy looked up and saw a dark cube floating silently in front of him.

The cube remained motionless and did not react in the slightest, as if quietly waiting for Charlotte.

(Now is the time!)

Suddenly, Charlotte reached out without hesitation, wanting to touch the cube in front of her.

But just as he was about to touch it, suddenly the sound of a gunshot rang out from Charlotte's back, and the pain was so intense that he almost passed out.

The boy looked down and saw a bloody hole in his right leg, and blood was pouring out of his wound.

The pain caused Charlotte to lose her balance and fall to the ground in an instant, and Morey's extremely cold voice rang in his ears.

"That's enough, you don't have to worry about the rest. ”

Morey walked slowly in front of Charlotte, his posture like that of a victor, and he looked up at Charlotte.

With a muffled pop, he raised his right leg and kicked the boy in the stomach hard, and the boy's figure was shot several meters away like a broken kite.

The shock caused by the pain and blood loss caused Charlotte to almost lose consciousness, and at this moment he could only bite the tip of his tongue to force himself to wake up.

"Damn!" Charlotte immediately drew a dagger from her waist and threw it at Morey.

The cold light pierced the air, making a screeching sound, and landed on Morey's back at high speed.

Standing in the center of the altar, Morey looked greedily at the dark cube, ignoring Charlotte's dagger and letting it fall on his body.

Until the moment when all the daggers on Charlotte's body were thrown, Morey didn't look at him squarely.

(It's over...) ）

(It's all over...)

The only hope left in my heart was gradually shattered.

When Morey obtains the Treasure, he should not hesitate to obliterate himself.

Charlotte herself knows this all too well.

"This day has finally come..."

"I've waited too long, and now, it's time for me to see you for what you really are. ”

The pirate captain raised his right hand and smashed his fist into the cube.

Rumble.

A heavy sound echoed in Morey's ears, and the surface of the cube began to crack, black light reflecting through the cracks.

The moment the cube was shattered, Morey gently caught the items that had fallen off inside.

Then, he stood motionless in the center of the altar, as if frozen, staring at the object in his hand.

"It's... What?"

"A piece of paper?what the is this?!"

"I gambled everything, and I got a note back?"

Morey clenched the white paper in his hand and went crazy.

"You, come here!" the pirate captain walked quickly over to Charlotte, picked him up with one hand, and shoved the note in his hand in front of Charlotte.

"Say!What is written on it?!"

Charlotte endured the severe injuries and set her eyes on the note.

In the next second, he was extremely surprised, and there was only one sentence on the entire slip of paper that was simply written in Chinese characters.

"You're not alone. ”

Blurted out almost subconsciously.

"What is the Vietator? What is more than one? This is the Secret Treasure of the Star Creator?!" Morey's eyes grew red, and he yelled at Charlotte.

As if to vent, he threw the boy to the ground, then turned around and slammed his fist into the center of the altar.

"Ah---!! get out of here, I know there must be a real treasure hidden here!" he went mad, hammering the altar with his iron prosthetic leg.

Facing Morey, who was gradually losing his mind, Charlotte took a deep breath and suppressed the pain.

It's not over yet.

The gamble with Morey is not over yet.

That sentence must have something else in mind.

It's time to get your thoughts straight.

How did Zheng He know that he was a time-traveler, and how did he predict that hundreds of years after his death, another time-traveler would come to find the secret treasure he had missed?

Is it because of the kanji?

Or is it because of something else?

Wrong.

The point is not how Zheng He anticipated his arrival, but what he wanted to express from this sentence.

And this sentence is undoubtedly addressed to Charlotte.

(Traverser...) I'm not the only one... ）

In other words, Charlotte is not the only traveler in this world.

So who else is?

All I know now is...

(Zheng He.) That's right, he's also a traverser. ）

(Got it, I got it.) If he is also a traverser, then everything makes sense. ）

Including the Chinese characters used in the treasure map, the meaning that the totem wants to express, everything is based on Charlotte's ability to successfully reach this place.

In order to prevent people other than the traverser from obtaining the secret treasure, Zheng He hid the method of truly obtaining the secret treasure in these totems.

Yes, not long ago, Charlotte had managed to decipher the sentence hidden in the totem, but Charlotte didn't understand what that strange sentence made of Chinese characters meant.

But now, Charlotte has understood.

As long as the owner of the secret treasure in front of him is a traverser, as long as the Duke of the Star Creator Zheng He is a traverser...

... Then it all makes sense.

Charlotte forced himself to prop himself up, looked up at Morey, who had fallen into a frenzy, and found that he had demolished most of the altar.

"It's okay, let him go crazy. Charlotte smiled wryly and muttered to herself.

The next moment, he pulled a handcuff from his waist.

This handcuff was obtained when he treated Eagles, but unfortunately, after being rained, the fuse of the handcuff can no longer be lit in ordinary ways.

"It hurts!" touched the bloody hole in his right leg, Morey should have used the flame of the scimitar in his hand to ignite the fuse of the handcuff. But the amazing thing is that the rain is so heavy, but the flame on the scimitar is not extinguished.

Now to ignite the current fuse, there is only one last way left except to grab Morey's scimitar.

Charlotte took a deep breath and placed the handcuff in front of her.

Carefully removing the bandage on the index finger of his right hand, he felt a terrifying stinging pain coming from his finger, and the demon fire in his body instantly began to go berserk.

At this moment, the elemental that had been frozen by bandages flowed backwards and became active again.

(Hold back!) he whispered in his heart, warning and reminding himself.

Charlotte mobilized the soul power of her whole body to guide the demon fire in her body, and flowed the demon fire along her damaged meridians to the tip of her index finger.

He gritted his teeth, cold sweat gradually stretched out from his forehead, and the pain caused by the demon fire flowing through the meridians was like tens of thousands of thin needles flowing down the veins, which could no longer be described in words.

Coupled with the increasing blood loss on her thighs, Charlotte's physical condition is becoming more and more severe at this moment.

(Not enough!)

Once again, the power of the soul intensified, and the tingling sensation increased exponentially.

(Still not enough!)

In order not to pass out in pain, he bit the tip of his tongue and forcibly woke himself up a little.

Gradually, golden-red flames flowed like liquid down Charlotte's meridians, slowly to the tips of his fingers.

A faint flame ignited silently in the torrential rain.

Zizi, zizi.

The sound of the fuse burning was unusually clear in the furious roar.

At this moment, Morey, who had fallen into madness, stopped and turned his head to look at Charlotte.

"I won this gamble. He picked up the handcuff in front of him, his hands gripping the wooden handle.

"Win, haha, ha!" the pirate captain laughed wildly.

"How are you going to win? You think you can kill me with what you have?!"

"You think you can kill me with immortality?!"

Morey's hoarse voice turned to a roar again.

Charlotte smiled at the mad Morey.

It's not a sarcastic smile, it's a smile that is incredibly sincere.

"No, you're wrong. ”

"I didn't intend to kill you with this handcuff. ”

With a smile, he raised his handcuff, but this time the target was not Morey.

It's their own temples.

An inexplicable uneasiness grew in Morey's heart, and he didn't understand what Charlotte wanted to do.

But the instincts that had saved him countless times over the years were constantly telling him that Charlotte was in danger at this time.

"Until the end, let me tell you a secret, Morey. ”

The boy smiled, and then said.

"On the colorful and twisted plains, the waters of Erripa swallowed me. ”

At this moment, he did not hesitate to raise the scimitar in his hand and rushed towards Xia Luo.

"Die--!!"

But the moment the scimitar fell, Charlotte had already pulled the trigger.

Touch!

The sound of the handcuffs was louder than thunder.

With the tongue of fire erupting, the spherical bullet instantly pierced Charlotte's head.

And in this instant, a white light covered Charlotte's entire body.

In the next second, Charlotte disappeared without a trace in front of Morey.

The huge scimitar with the flames also missed.

An incomparably cold voice without the slightest emotion suddenly sounded.

"The system detects that the target within the range has been severely damaged, and activates [Emergency Teleport]. ”
