Chapter 114: Digging for Treasure
"Isabella the Fraudster is not a weapon for battle, but a magical artifact created by a legendary alchemist and based on the Soul Sealing Dagger. Many strong people who have reached the level of mastering the rules of the world have been tempered by thousands of tempers, and they have broken away from the boundary of life and death in the mortal world. And this dagger is used to seal the souls of those powerful beings, so as to achieve the purpose of obliterating them. ”
Lolana looked at the dagger in Roger's hand whose blood-colored light gradually dimmed, and said in a low voice: "But the soul sealed in this soul sealing dagger is too powerful and evil, and Isabella's power in turn erodes its own ability, which can allow users to interfere with the mortal world with their own spiritual world influence, which is also one of the reasons why she has left a famous name in history." Although this illusion of camouflage is not enough to shake those who are truly strong, it is more than enough to deal with us ignorant mortals. ”
The corners of Roger's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly threw the fraudster to the ground like hot hands. Perhaps because of Adrian's disappearance, after losing the true controller, the light of the fraudster faded and the chatter in El's ears disappeared. Similarly, the golden scimitar in his hand was slowly fading, and when the golden exterior gradually faded, what was left was a dark blue.
"It seems that this is also the work of fraudsters. I felt that Adrian, as the king of thieves, would be too ostentatious to hold a weapon made of gold all day long. In retrospect, the real purpose of this disguise was to seduce the robbers' greed. Lolana looked at the faded weapon in El's hand and nodded in the affirmative.
"For these uneducated robbers in the brown hills, the legend of the King of Thieves is too ethereal, and only real money can make them happy. If the King of Thieves had to forge his own weapons out of gold, one can imagine how rich his legacy would be - this is the sentiment of all bandits for thousands of years. The huge interest blinded everyone's minds, and no one ever thought about this legendary suspiciousness with their hearts. ”
Roger snorted coldly and did not speak. What Lolana said was all the truth, and he couldn't refute it.
"No, Blackbeard must have thought about it. El said suddenly. He and Roger glanced at each other, and Roger's eyes lit up with a thoughtful look on his face.
"In the past, almost all the robber kings in history have ended badly, except for Blackbeard, who survived stubbornly after I snatched the golden scimitar...... Now that I think about it, he must have deliberately given me the golden scimitar back then. [Starter]" Roger said in a deep voice with his chin propped up.
"He also left behind the golden scimitar when he attacked me and Lolana, and he clearly trusted his black scimitar that could use witchcraft more than this weapon. El thought back to the situation, and a flash of doubt flashed through his mind. He hadn't actually noticed that Blackbeard had left the golden cutlass behind when the cicada was shedding its shell, or when Lolana had picked it up.
When Lolana told him about his temporary plan through Little Langa's psychic link just now, he felt like 10,000 alpacas were galloping by! Later, all the actions were subconsciously completed in a trance, and it was not until Adrian was captured that he fully came to his senses.
What the hell is going on?El, too, wanted to know the answer to that question, and sometimes he really couldn't keep up with Lorana's train of thought.
"It's actually a fluke, I just bet on the right treasure. Lolana made a look of trepidation, sighed, and said, "When I guessed that the true face of that dagger was a fraudster, I basically knew what Adrian was up to. Although the historical records are vague, there are not many discrepancies in the general direction. Adrian did go to Hell, but for some unknown purpose, he ended up leaving a soul fragment here. ”
"Can something like a soul be sliced?" El asked in disbelief.
"Theoretically, of course, it's like you chop off your own arm and let it kill on its own...... Perhaps deep-sea octopuses have this talent, but humans certainly can't...... However, with the help of the Soul Sealing Dagger, there may be a way to get a trick. ”
With two fingers, Lolana carefully picked up the fraudster on the ground and placed it on the handkerchief she had taken out with her other hand. Watching her movements, both El and Roger couldn't help but take a step back.
"But...... I remember you said that the reason why this weapon is called Isabella the Trickster is because it seals Isabella's soul, can this thing be reused?" El asked after a moment's thought.
"It's theoretically impossible, but we've all seen a successful example, haven't we?" Lorana carefully observed the crack in the fraudster's blade, shrugged her shoulders and said as she learned from El's habitual movements, "After all, we haven't reached that level, and it's not surprising that we can't understand the methods of those strong people. ”
"yes, slice your soul and ...... Where did he end up being caught?" El felt a little sour just listening to Lorana's words, but he still couldn't suppress his curiosity.
"Right here. Lolana shook the fraudster in her hand, and when she saw the faces of the two big men change drastically and retreated, she couldn't help but laugh: "It's okay, you have also seen how passionate Isabella is to him." The king of thieves not only used the fraudsters to set a trap about the treasure of his inheritance, but also directly used the fraudsters themselves to leave a way out for himself. ”
"This tightrope walking method is unpredictable, but it is also very risky. If I'm not mistaken, the moment the fraudster was damaged, he was attacked by his abilities, and maybe he would be swallowed up by the original host, Isabella. ”
"Just know that he can't come out and continue to plague people. Roger said with a cold face, after all, El has been taught by the eldest lady for a long time, and even if he doesn't understand it, he can guess the general meaning, but he can't understand anything with a real black eye.
Although in the eyes of the robbers, their new boss was a cunning and wise man, it was measured by the average level of education in the brown hills. If you really want to compare, Roger may not know as many words as El has read. Therefore, it was clear that the Night's Watch Fortress contained historical documents from the past, but the robber never wanted to take a look.
Roger has more concerns than Adrian's life or death, and that is the original purpose of their trip - the treasure left behind by the King of Thieves. It's just that after experiencing this strange scene just now, he can't help but doubt the authenticity of that treasure in his heart.
Roger coughed lightly and asked with some hesitation, "Miss Lorana, do you think there will be a problem with that treasure?"
"Probably not...... If it's just something like gold, the dignified King of Thieves won't be able to look at it, and it doesn't matter if you just leave a little bit here to fake it. It's just ......" Lorana changed her words, narrowed her eyes and asked Roger rhetorically, "According to the normal process, after experiencing the illusion just now, is there any other procedure next?"
It wasn't to blame Lolana for asking, because if they hadn't deliberately messed with Blackbeard, they wouldn't have drawn out Adrian's remnant. Then, according to normal procedures, this illusion will not cause any harm to the visitor...... Perhaps Adrian had laid the bait here to lure the robbers into killing each other, but that wasn't really a problem.
You must know that the three hundred elite soldiers under El have not been excessively injured so far, if they just came to watch a scene, why did Roger spend a lot of money to hire them to come all the way to help?
"Of course, according to my experience the last time I followed Blackbeard, under normal circumstances, after the illusion is over, a demon will appear from the void and attack us here...... This time, though, they haven't shown up yet. Roger nodded hurriedly and said.
"The Endless Void is not a garbage dump, anything can be stuffed into it, and those demons are all illusions that Adrian has set up with fraudsters. The demonic attack is not the point, the point is to drain your overall strength and further encourage your already bewitched men to betray as they just did. If I'm not mistaken, most of the robber kings who died here fell under the swords of their own people, right?" On the basis of the available information, Lorana deduced Adrian's true purpose after a little thought, and her words made Roger's back soaked in cold sweat.
"Besides, there are other dangers, right?" asked Lorana after a moment's thought.
"Yes...... That's right!" Roger suppressed the horror in his heart and replied pretending to be calm, "We have a limited time to stay here, and according to the information recorded in the Golden Scimitar, leave that dream...... After the illusion, the demons hidden in the ruins outside will also notice the abnormal movement here. Within ten minutes they would be swarming. ”
"So what are you waiting for, let's get to work!" El couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the time limit.
"But will there be ...... in that treasure" Roger was still a little hesitant, he was originally cautious, but now he had become a frightened bird, and he did not dare to act rashly.
"Don't worry, even if Adrian has prepared any gifts in it, it should be finished with him by now. Lolana said affirmatively, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the stone tower in the center of the circular altar, and commanded with a half-commanding voice: "That's not the real seal of the center of the earth, just smash the stone tower below and knock him down." ”
Hearing Lolana say this, Roger finally breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his head and shouted at the robber standing next to him, "What are you doing in a daze? Didn't you hear Miss Lolana's words? Hurry up and work!"
