Chapter 33: The Oak Tree
Chapter 33 Oak Diagram
The inhabitants of Thornhill wanted to cry without tears, and the joke of the previous time came true. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Look...... Maybe something else will happen. ”
Who said that? Damn......
They are not warriors, and they are still ordinary after the courage of blood and blood returns to a peaceful life.
Damn it, it's magical, and it keeps bringing terrifying things. After the slaughter of the Lapis Thieves, strange people continue to appear. A swarthy man as tall as a tower, a wizard in a monster car, a miserable green non-human.
The inhabitants began to flee, hastily packing their bags and unleashing their imagination: one person a day, and the town disappeared in a year.
Unless there are warriors to kill it, but not the convoys, after washing the floor they go after the fleeing thieves, who knows when they will return. I thought that there would be a big battle between the giant demon and the knight, but who knew that they were friends.
People wait in despair, very few actually put into action, and where can they go if they escape?
After praying every day, the warrior finally appeared, he had led the residents to negotiate with the mine for more pay, formed an organization similar to the miners' guild in the town, and he was in constant conflict with the dead old Phoebe, and fought bravely against the Lapis Thieves.
Someone quietly watched the feat of old Thomas from a distance and mourned in silence in their hearts. This is more than lucky, and it may end up being a pile of dry bones. If he returns victorious, he will be treated with the best wine.
Sobbing was heard, and someone shed tears of emotion.
In the eyes of the Thorn Hills, the Hammer Inn has been completely overrun, no different from the Demon Cave. The burly man inside can pinch the thief to death with one hand, not to mention the giant demon.
Old Thomas was knocking on the door!
True warriors are polite and will talk to each other before tackling their opponents.
He went in......
Qiming opened the door and saw Thomas Sr. The clothes were new and spotless. The brown hair and beard are repaired and very neat.
"Hello Qiming. ”
"Hello Thomas, is little Thomas okay?"
"It's very good, fighting makes people grow, and his stutter is surprisingly good. ”
"That's great, is there anything you can do?"
"I'm going to meet a few heroes. Thomas spoke politely, somewhat flatteringly. This visit is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Wait a minute. Soon Kaiming returned and led Thomas to the courtyard of the inn.
Before lunch, there was nothing to do, and they all gathered in the courtyard to wait for the chef's delicacies. Bruce was running back and forth, and a couple of pot-bellied men made it hard for him.
"Well to the heroes, please accept the humble Thomas with high respect. Thomas knelt on the ground and held out his hands in worship.
Apollo and Donna sat upright, while Van Lentiern was napping. The troll's steel whip sticks out its thin mouth and gurgles bubbles in the large cup.
"Hello, Thomas. Apollo had no expression on his face.
"I come to thank the hero Van Lentyn for his contribution to the town. ”
"Oh, huh?" said Van Luntien as he woke up from his snoozing and looked at the man on the ground, snorting embarrassedly. He didn't hear what the other party was saying at all.
"The town is remote and wild, and it's slow to treat the old men. The people outside have never seen the world, and they are a little flustered under the shock, and they ask for forgiveness. ”
Qiming looked at Thomas, curious to know his purpose. said some humble words, obviously scared and gritted his teeth to insist.
"Mr. Thomas, is there anything you can say. "Qiming wants to help him.
Thomas wiped the sweat from his forehead, the gurgling steel whip putting too much pressure on him. I had never seen such a creature in my mercenary career.
"Without Black Gold Rock, there is no food. Please forgive me for my unreasonableness, and give me an order to mine the black gold rock. This time my eyes were on Granny Donna.
Apollo smiled, although he was detached from the town, but he occasionally heard Thomas during his one-month stay, which was very magical. The mining team he led had never encountered subsidence or collapse.
"Someone in the town calls you an earth elf, and you can accurately judge the veins of the black gold rock underground, which not only helps the mine owner, but also makes the miners safer. Is there a secret?"
Thomas shuddered, and Granny Donna's eyes began to glow.
Amazing people often have secrets that no one knows, and Thomas is one of them.
Thirty years ago, on a murderous and tyrannical afternoon, his father fell at the feet of a bandit, and he watched as the chest of his loved ones who were gradually losing their breath burst into flames.
He once complained about his father's incompetence and could not bring him a rich life, but he was never short of food and clothing. At that time, he had a strange mind and felt the need to hold a grand funeral for his father, which required money. So, he chose to take it from the bandits.
Relying on his young and strong body, he strangled the bandit leader at the cost of three huge wounds. He couldn't help but thank his father for his inherited strength. The bandit only had a bag of dimes on him, but it was enough. There was a map in the bag, and after his career as a mercenary, he discovered the secret that he had been hiding on his body.
"A map...... I think," Apollo said lightly.
The words were undoubtedly thunder in Thomas's ears. He shivered even more violently, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his body, running down his skin.
Van Luntien dozed off and was a little dazed, and when he heard the conversation, he took a big sip of his wine glass. Said: "It can't be an oak tree, right? Haha, how is this possible?"
Donna was slightly agitated and said, "Quite possibly!"
Everyone had a spirit, and the giant demon steel whip that blew bubbles also raised its head, and its eyes flashed with an astonishing light.
Thomas bowed his head and didn't say a word, which was already a tacit acquiescence.
Treasure is a mountain of the weak. The map shows the details of the Black Gold Rock underground. However, mining ore includes land, labor, transportation, and sale, which is beyond the reach of mercenaries.
He did not sacrifice to the big man in exchange for status, and silently waited for the opportunity in his arms.
Qiming found that things were not going as expected. Aren't teachers and heroes supposed to help Thomas? What is the oak diagram? The highest signal in Thomas's house is the rope that strangles the bandits.
"Is there any treasure?" said Qiming, standing behind Apollo.
"It's not just about treasures. Apollo smiled and looked at Thomas. "I don't know if you should say lucky or unlucky, if you give that picture to Phoenix, you can get a lot of contributions in exchange. If you give it to some knowledgeable nobleman, you will be killed. ”
Thomas trembled with excitement.
There may be some secret realms that are not well known, but Phoenix is well known as a symbol set up by wizards. The contribution points it gives are highly sought after by the mercenaries used.
This is the step to the body.
"Mr. Thomas, can you tell me how that treasure came about?" Qiming said.
"It's a trophy......"
......
Thomas offered a yellowed piece of paper to Granny Donna. Donna gave back a piece of white paper.
The white paper is a contract, with which it can be used to mine the Black Gold Rock with the Wizarding Alliance. From now on, the Black Gold Rock Mine in Thorn Hill was forcibly occupied by Donna and Thomas, and had nothing to do with Summer. I don't know what the noble lords will think and whether they will retaliate, but judging by Thomas's expression, he is not worried about these things.
In his twenty years as a mercenary, he had seen caravans with cone insignia, and no one dared to make up his mind. The captain of the mercenary had said that no offense should be taken against him under any circumstances.
......
"This is the Oak Tree?" Qiming looked at the thin paper on the table, unable to believe that it was a precious anomaly. At least it's trimmed with gold and in a hardwood box, right?
The signal is still gray......
Donna pointed to the words on the corner and said, "This is the Oak Diagram, Eternal 56125, Abyss 741." ”
"What do you mean? The teacher said that the eternal abyss is two small islands. Qiming lay on the table, his eyes as close to the map as possible, trying to see more clearly.
Apollo smiled and said, "These two words represent heaven and hell in the Glorious Cemetery, and two small islands in the sea. In the Wizarding League represents the coordinates of the world. ”
"Coordinates?" Keiming knew what it meant, but Donna was still explaining.
He drew a cross on the table with his finger and said, "The horizontal line represents eternity, and the vertical line represents the abyss." By marking two lines with numbers, you can accurately determine the location of a person or area. In terms of coordinates, this is a map of the area around the Thorn Hill. ”
The previous maps of the Atlas were flat, but with the advent of the Age of Discovery, the maps became three-dimensional. Qiming said: "The legendary Sky City is in the sky, except for the horizontal and vertical lines, it seems to lack height. Since Thomas can see the veins underground, there must be depth. ”
Apollo smiled, accustomed to the intelligence of his students. The map comes in different colors, with three lines representing the underground, the ground, and the sky. Thomas Sr. must have figured out the usefulness of the black line.
Donna silently took out a pitch-black bottle, poured out a little yellow powder, and blew it towards the oak tree. The map glowed slightly, and yellow powder gathered above it, like sunlight shining on a dusty corner, and the powder transformed an image.
There are mountains and waters, like a miniature version of the thorny hills. The stones, rivers, minerals in the ground are very clear.
"That's the preciousness of the oak diagram, and in the developing powder, it perfectly presents the scene of a place. ”
"Who made it?" Qiming was curious, this is a hologram.
Donna said, "It's impossible to verify it, maybe it was a long time ago sometime, maybe it was a gift from the gods. The technique of drawing was lost, and the same items could no longer be made. But we believe that there are countless fragments of these oak diagrams in all corners of the world, and when they are combined, there is a whole world!"
