Chapter 27: The Treasure

The three of them walked forward in the cave by the light of the torches, and after a few minutes of walking, the road became wider and wider. By this time they had reached the end of the torches, and it was darkness before the eyes of the three of them.

"What's going on? This design is a bit unreasonable, isn't it? Or is the torch in front broken?" Francis wondered if there was water for such a big project.

After observing the small universe, Diess took a step forward. Suddenly, the surrounding walls and roofs lit up with milky white light, and the walls and roof slowly brightened, and finally turned directly white, illuminating the cave in a bright light. Francis looked up and saw that in front of him was a huge square square, about fifty meters long and wide, and the top of the square was arched, so that it could easily withstand the pressure from above. The most striking thing is the gray statue in the middle of the square. A dragon, a giant dragon about thirty meters long, with a strong body, a thick neck, and a head with four dragon horns. With strong and powerful limbs, the structure of the dragon's claws is similar to that of a bird's, which makes it easy to grasp prey. The dragon had a hideous face, sharp teeth that were slightly curved inward, and a long tail that was more than two-fifths of its total length. Behind it are a pair of giant batwing-like wings, its body almost completely covered in hard, shiny scales.

"It's huge, is this the strongest creature on the continent? It's hard to imagine if I haven't seen it once. It's a good thing it's just a statue, but it's so lifelike!" the three of Francis looked up and their mouths open for a long time.

"Hmph, it's too far from my work!" said Dise, stiffly, but still looked at the dragon statue with bright eyes.

"It's hard to imagine what terrifying combat power this creature will exert!" Saber looked at the statue in front of him in surprise, "I can't imagine the destructive power of this dragon!"

"There's a word here!" Francis found a line at the foot of the statue, "I'll take a look, um!' the great Scott I and his companion, the frost dragon Gloria, created the Chambitine Empire!', is this the dragon!'

Francis circled the dragon with emotion, and finally saw a shiny bead in the dragon's mouth, "That's it?"

Dees looked at Francis's hand and saw the bead as well, and Dees jumped into the dragon's mouth and took it out. In the dragon's mouth, it was indeed a small bead, but when Dees took it out, Francis realized that it was actually a crystal ball the size of a human head. Dees carefully placed the crystal ball on the ground, and Francis went over and poked the crystal ball. Dees looked at the crystal ball, "Is this the treasure?"

Francis fiddled with it for a while, "Probably not! Although such a large crystal ball is also priceless, it will not be an imperial wealth! This is a memory crystal ball, there is a video in it, as long as you input mental power, there will be an image!" Francis said that he injected some spiritual power into it, and the crystal ball slowly brightened.

Francis let go of his hand and took a few steps back, looking at the image in the crystal ball. I saw a black-robed mage appear in the crystal ball, his face was shrouded in black mist, and his appearance could not be seen clearly, and his voice followed: "O descendants of the Hereafter! I am Scott I, the first king of the Empire, and the founder of the Chabatin Empire." I'm sad that you're here! Does that mean the great Jambatine Empire has fallen? But it doesn't matter, I have left behind a fortune worthy of any empire, take them out, and restore the glory of Jambatin. Also, if you don't have the strength of the Holy Order, leave it! The trial that will be held will not have the strength of the Holy Order, but you will die. If the empire is still thriving, then leave!This is the forbidden land, and again, this is the forbidden land...... 'The light on the crystal ball dimmed, and the figure inside disappeared.

"Hey, did I say that a treasure should be so troublesome?" Francis had already guessed that there would be a test, but I am not your son or grandchild. As Francis's words fell, a door appeared on the wall, a white passageway, which stretched somewhere!

"Let's go! see what he's up to!" Francis led into the passageway.

"Young Master!" Diesel seemed to have something to say.

"What's wrong?"

"The statue!" Dis looked a little strange.

"That's amazing, I know, you don't mean to take it away!" Francis suddenly remembered that Diess had always claimed to be an artist.

"No! I always felt that the statue was alive, but it seemed to be dead!" said Dees, curiously.

"Hey, probably someone carved it so well that it gave you this illusion. Francis thought back, and there was nothing wrong with the statue, the statue came to life......

The three of them walked for a while before they walked out of the passage, and there was a square square in sight, except for the statue in the middle, which was changed, the rest of the place was exactly the same, "If the statue hadn't changed, I thought we would have returned to the place just now!"

In the middle of the square sat two statues of swordsmen, more clay than statues. The earthy yellow body is even a little blurry with its face, and only the cumbersome armor on the body can be seen, the style is already very ancient, and everyone is holding a big sword in their hands!

"The gap is so big, the previous statue is so gorgeous!

"Giggle~~" The two clay sculptures shook their bodies and slowly stood up.

"Hey, is this a trial?" Francis sighed with emotion, "This is a magic puppet, relying on magic to maintain the movement of the body! It's really nothing new! There is no speed and strength, this thing is really good for trials, since it is used to test the Holy Rank! That is to say, these two puppets only have the speed and strength of the Holy Order!" Step forward and "It looks like it's unbeaten, let me do it! I haven't moved my hands and feet for a long time!"

"It's not interesting!" With Dis's strength, he naturally had no interest in this kind of thing, and Saber did not object.

Francis rushed forward with a strong stride, and the two magic golems also raised their swords and slashed at Francis. Francis was not in a hurry to attack, and swayed left and right around the two puppets for a while, observing the two puppets. "Well, the body is stiff, the joints are not flexible at all, and the speed and power can only be used in a straight line attack. It is true that it cannot be dealt with below the Holy Rank, and it can be easily settled after reaching the Holy Level. Is that Scott I still taking care of his descendants!" Francis lost interest in the puppet in front of him, "It's better for you two to turn into dirt!" "Bang, click!" The two puppet bodies were disassembled by Francis in an instant!

"It's really not interesting, the body made of clay is really ......," Francis closed his mouth and stopped. The soil in front of them actually flowed together from the slow melting, and the two clay swordsmen stood up again!

"Is this really alchemy? That Scott I is probably a very powerful alchemist! This kind of puppet that can be automatically restored is not a problem for masters, but it is indeed very troublesome for low-level professionals, no wonder that guy can defeat an empire! This kind of thing is terrifying on the battlefield!" This is Francis thinking too much, although this puppet of the Holy Rank is not perfect, but it is already very expensive to rely on the automatic restoration alone. Scott I didn't use this thing on the battlefield back then, otherwise it would have been robbed and studied by other empires.

Francis shatters the two golems again and watches as the golems slowly recover. In general, such puppets have their own heart core!So where is it??

"Holy Light Bullet!" Francis flicked one hand, and a Holy Light Bullet hit the puppet's face directly, exploding the puppet's head. Seeing that the puppet is still rushing towards him, isn't it on his head, then! A holy light bullet hit the puppet's stomach again, exploding the puppet from the middle, and the lower half of the puppet's body directly turned into dirt, and the upper body and head turned into dirt. In the lower body? It's so much easier!

After a while, Francis grabbed the two blue glass balls in his hand and tossed them, "This is it!" The two clay sculptures behind him turned directly into mud and did not recover!

Dice took the blue glass ball in Francis's hand, tinkered with it for a while and returned it to Francis, shaking his head, "No, I don't understand it at all, is this also made by alchemy?"

Francis handed the glass ball to Saber and asked her to see what she could see, "Well, only an alchemist can make these things, the alchemist himself is a powerful magician, plus he can create some strange things, so his strength is far beyond the average level!"

Saber shook his head, "I don't know much about alchemy, I guess I can only understand it by finding a specialized person!"

"Also!" Francis tucked the two glass balls into the spatial ring. "Our three majors are not right!"

"Let's go back!" the three of them chatted for so long, but there was no response, and Francis said, "I guess the treasure is still in the hall with the dragon sculpture!"

The three of them returned to the hall with the dragon sculpture again! Francis looked at the sculpture in front of him, "No matter how many times you look at it, it feels spectacular!"

"Master! over there!" Dees pointed behind the dragon, "There's one more door!"

"Let's go, let's see!"

The three of them came to the door, and unlike the outside, it was pitch black inside, and they couldn't see anything.

"Illumination!" Francis used a low-level magic illumination technique of the light system, which can maintain the light around it for about five minutes, which is considered a secondary magic.

With the help of illumination, the three of them quickly saw the situation inside, a pitch-black cave, and they didn't know how long the road inside was, and the three of them walked along the road for less than a minute before they reached the end.

"Is this?" Francis was presented with a bony shelf with a dozen rings and a crystal ball on it.

"It's a space ring!" Francis's eyebrows fluttered excitedly, "Hahaha, this time it's developed!" Francis endured his excitement and carefully counted twelve, one no more and one no less, and none of them looked ordinary. "Dis, Saber, we are rich now, remember to start today, fight with others in the future, don't do it, young master, I'll stone him to death with money......!"

Compared to the dancing Francis, Saber and Dees are much calmer. Saber used to be a king and was not short of money, but later he became a heroic spirit and did not need money. As for Dis, the Sanctuary is estimated to have no currency in circulation.

"Young Master, I've got bad news for you!" Dess grabbed a ring and tossed it up and down.

Francis snatched the ring, "Be careful, Dess, what if it breaks?"

Dees looked at Francis helplessly, knowing for the first time that Francis was still a money-grubbing man. "My spiritual power can't probe inside the ring, there is a seal on the ring!"

"......" Francis tried one by one, and the result was the same as Dees said, each ring could not be explored.

"How can this be?" said Francis, who wanted to cry without tears, and felt like he was going crazy to play tricks like this!

"Young Master, there's a memory crystal ball!" Saber said calmly, pointing to the crystal ball on the shelf.
