Chapter 159 Stone Carvings [Five Watches, Scattering Flowers]
"April, you still let me worry. ”
Ulysses glared at Frida with dissatisfaction, then patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder.
"It is my duty and honor to share your worries. Aprile immediately bowed his head in response, and it seemed that he still had a lot of respect for the old man.
Aprill is a wanted criminal from the Federation of Sixteen States of Sinanna, he used to be a serf, but when he was a teenager, he inexplicably awakened to extraordinary powers, but when he woke up, he fell into madness, accidentally killed his master who cared for him, and has lived in exile and self-blame ever since.
"When I'm gone, this huge hand-joining meeting will depend on your trouble. ”
Ulysses looked like he was explaining the aftermath and arranging his successor.
Frida on the side heard this, his eyes were filled with deep jealousy, only when he stepped into the upper echelons of the Hands Society, did he know the terrifying influence of this organization, and only then did he know what kind of wealth the Song Organization had accumulated over the years.
But April didn't think the same as Frida, the sweat on his forehead immediately flowed, his eyes were a little frightened, and he hurriedly bent down and said to Ulysses: "My lord, you are still in such good health, how can you pass away? We are still waiting for you to lead us out of Lopez!"
"You're exaggerating, how old am I, and what my body is in shape?" Ulysses sighed, looking very lonely: "I also want to live a few more years, but the injuries left by those people in the Holy See back then were too serious, and I couldn't last a few years." ”
"My lord, you will definitely find a good solution to your physical problems. ”
April immediately said respectfully, he was afraid that Ulysses was testing himself, he was not a stunned young man like Frida, and some things were better to be considered before deciding whether he could say them.
"Yes, I've asked someone to find it, but they say that only bathing in dragon blood can heal my old wounds. ”
At this point, Ulysses looked at Aprile meaningfully, looking at him a little overwhelmed.
"No one has seen a legendary creature like a dragon for thousands of years, right?"
He said cautiously, for fear of offending Ulysses' heartaches.
"Yes, it's been thousands of years, so that person is just fooling me, and then I sent him on the road at that time, there are so many people who cheat people out of money these days!"
Ulysses looked away and said with some indignation, like an old man complaining about life, but his words made people shudder.
Frida on the side touched her neck in fright, and her gaze at Aprill slowly changed from jealousy to gratitude.
"But if the secret of this stone carving can be solved, maybe I can find a way to repair my body, or ......"
Ulysses's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"What is this stone carving about?"
Frida couldn't help but ask, he really couldn't hold back his curiosity, why would a dilapidated stone carving attract this old man more than a sea human treasure?
"About the civilization of antiquity. ”
Ulysses turned to look into his eyes and smiled, but his smile made Frida a little embarrassed.
"Ancient civilizations?" Ulysses wondered, aren't these so-called ancient civilizations all legends?
"Yes, the civilization of the last era hides the true mysteries of this world. Ulysses stroked the stone carving with a face full of intoxication, and his movements were gentle.
Why was he so convinced that ancient civilizations really existed?
Because the evil art he practiced was obtained by him in the ruins of an ancient civilization, but it was somewhat incomplete, but Ulysses also had the courage when he was young, and he said that he would practice, so he would have very serious sequelae.
"But I couldn't decipher it. ”
Then he said with some resentment, this is the most irritating thing, obviously there is a treasure mountain in front of him, but he has no ability to open it.
"Will those nobles and merchants have the power to uncover the mysteries above?"
Aprile asked suspiciously, what should these guests do about it?
"So it's up to our luck, let's not make its true origin clear, just say that this is a more monumental stone carving, I think I believe that no one will buy such a very dilapidated stone except for people who really know the goods, right?"
Ulysses smiled and said, "As long as someone buys it, then we just have to wait for him to get the results, and then we will borrow it." ”
"Your Excellency is so witty!" Frida immediately stepped forward to pat himself on the back, but the old man ignored him and turned to look at the stone carving again.
Frida put her hot face on her cold ass, and she was very unhappy in her heart, but she still had to face it with a smile.
"But my lord, is this thing real?"
April couldn't help but ask, if it was a fake, then wouldn't they have to make the bamboo basket empty, and they also lost a lot of manpower and material resources.
"Do you know the Black Sea?" asked Ulysses.
"Of course I do. "There's a very terrifying phantom beast there, extremely aggressive, who on the continent doesn't know that place?
"I sent someone to fish out of that sea, and I went to hundreds of people, and a dozen came back alive. ”
"Is there anything else in the Black Sea?" asked Frida in amazement, he only knew that there was a demonic phantom beast in the Black Sea, and for the first time he had heard of something else in the Black Sea.
"At the bottom of the Black Sea is a ruin. ”
Ulysses turned to look at him and said, "It's full of endless riches, but it's guarded by that terrible phantom beast, and almost all those who try to steal it are dead there." ”
"Are you sure that this stone carving will give us something of value?"
Arips couldn't help but ask, if you can get endless wealth by fishing out a stone carving from it, then the Black Sea has long been filled by humans.
"No, no, no, I have been planning this stone carving for decades, and thousands of lives have been buried in it, including many powerhouses at the level of great knights. ”
Ulysses' eyes were deep, and he said, "This is the stone carving at the highest point of the ruins, right next to the lair of the phantom beast. ”
"What do we get?"
Aripus narrowed his eyes, he had to be cautious about this kind of matter related to the interests of the whole group, otherwise it would be a huge loss if he was not careful, and maybe there would be huge friction with the nobles in the north.
"Wealth, knowledge, and power!"

"You're going to participate in this auction?" Zola put away his longsword and looked at Jason with a surprised expression, didn't he want to go before?
"yes, I think it's good to go out and see, and the Heshou Society is still our enemy, and I feel the need to get to know our enemy. Jason said with a smile.
"You have a point, but you must not act rashly that day, and it will not be as simple as it seems. Zola seemed to see through Jason's thoughts and advised him seriously.
"Don't worry, I can see the big picture. ”
