Chapter 227: The Book of Curses and the Treasure Map
γCurse of Doom Fragmentsγ
Grade:???
Effect:???
Description: A fragment of unknown origin, which brings bad luck to its bearer, seems to hide a deep secret, waiting to be discovered.
β¦β¦
At this time, it was just half an hour since Mu Chen walked out of the territory of the Black Vulture Chamber of Commerce.
The Black Vulture expected the time to be true.
The one-time prop he used for the fraudster, as expected, could only last for half an hour.
When the time comes.
The camouflage effect on the [Book of Doom's Curse Pages] disappears, revealing its original form.
When Mu Chen saw this, he was shocked at first, and then a look of excitement appeared on his face.
It seems that today is his lucky day!
Not only did he get the clue to the treasure of the Great Thief Skeletron, but he also accidentally obtained the fragment of the mythical prop - the Book of Curses!
It's really ......
Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh.
This move startled Owen on the side.
He was in a trance at the moment, in a state of excitement and confusion about the future.
Accidentally, I was taken aback by Mu Chen.
Fortunately, when he saw clearly that Mu Chen was laughing, he thought that Mu Chen was looking forward to a better life after finding the treasure.
Owen couldn't help but fantasize about the scenery, decency and grandeur when he returned to his hometown in the future.
At the beginning, he left his hometown and his wife.
Vowed to break out of the world.
Unexpectedly, many years later, he became such a down-and-out virtue.
Now, I finally have the opportunity to realize my dream.
How could he not be happy.
Owen also laughed along with Mu Chen.
On the endless desert, Mu Chen and Owen, one tall and one short, two figures, were laughing wildly.
β¦β¦
Half an hour later.
Muchen and Owen rode yellow camels.
Returning to the Sand Market, when the guards patrolling nearby saw Mu Chen, they immediately stepped forward to surround him.
The captain of the guard scolded and said, "Bastard, damn fellow, you dare to kill people in the Sand Bazaar, aren't you crazy!" β
Mu Chen didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said directly: "How much money can settle this matter?" β
The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay, you dare to use money to corrupt our pure and arrogant hearts!" Come here, please, come to my office, and let's talk about it! β
Mu Chen said: "I still have something, just talk about it here." β
"100,000 gold coins, no two prices!" The captain of the guard said.
Mu Chen said: "It's too expensive, just a few lives, you charge me 100,000?" β
"Big brother, this is already the market price, you have violated the law of the Sand Bazaar!"
"It's cheaper, otherwise, if you arrest me, the price in the prison is much cheaper than yours."
"Don't, then you make a price!"
"Fifty thousand gold coins!"
"This is too little, more of it, you see, I have so many brothers, these 50,000 gold coins are too little, they are not enough points!"
"Sixty thousand, no more!"
"Okay, but we can let you go, but if you kill those caravans to protect the Chamber of Commerce to which they belong, they probably won't let you go."
"Which Chamber of Commerce are they?"
"It seems to be the Golden Scorpion Chamber of Commerce."
"Golden Scorpion?"
Mu Chen muttered the name of this chamber of commerce in his mouth, he seemed to have heard of it before, but he didn't seem to have it.
The chambers of commerce in the Sand Bazaar are large and small, not to mention hundreds.
There are people who Muchen has never heard of, which is normal.
Revenge is revenge, and he is not afraid.
The first thing you need to do when you successfully enter the Sand Bazaar is to retrieve the treasure map that Owen has hidden.
He hid the treasure map in the oasis lake in the middle of the Sand Market.
The predecessor of the Sand Bazaar was just an obscure oasis town.
It has developed day by day due to the trade route leading to the elven country.
In the middle of the Sand Market, there is a large lake, blue and deep.
Coming to the lakeside, the goblin Owen sneakily glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to it.
He tore off his rag-like clothes, revealing his naked, filthy and thin body, and plunged into the lake.
Sink to the bottom of the lake.
It can be seen that Owen's swimming skills are quite good.
Moment.
Owen surfaced, and in his hand, there was an extra palm-sized stone, which looked no different from other ordinary stones.
But this stone actually has another mystery.
The stone can be opened, and the inside is hollowed out, hiding a treasure map stacked into small squares.
Owen handed the treasure map to Mu Chen, as if offering a treasure.
Mu Chen took it and used his omniscient eye to check it, and it was no different from the [Treasure Map of the Great Thief Skeletron] sold in the grocery store.
Mu Chen couldn't help asking, "Is this true?" β
"It's true! I swear in the name of my ancestors......"
Owen swears.
Mu Chen said dissatisfiedly: "How many years have your ancestors been dead, you have to swear, and you have to swear by your own soul!" β
Owen smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Excellency, you have to believe me, with my years of experience in cartography, this treasure map is most likely to be true!" β
"Possibly?"
Mu Chen said lightly: "So, you can't be sure whether he is true or not?" β
Owen was silent for a moment and said, "Indeed, I can't be 100% sure, but I'm 90% sure that it's true!" β
Mu Chen muttered, "Ninety percent? β
"Your Excellency Dust, what else do you have to hesitate about! If the treasure map is fake, you and I are just running for nothing, if it is true......"
Owen's tone was full of seduction.
Mu Chen asked a strange question: "Owen, do you think today, if I didn't save you, what would be your fate?" β
Owen was stunned and replied, "Beaten to death, or imprisoned." β
"Why did you end up in jail?"
"Hehe, in fact, I still owe a lot of money to the gambling house, if I can't pay it, I can only go to prison to eat prison food."
Owen scratched his head embarrassedly.
Even if he hadn't been killed by those caravan guards today, he would have been locked up in prison until he died because he couldn't pay off his gambling debts!
A thoughtful expression appeared on Mu Chen's face.
After a moment, Mu Chen nodded.
Agreed to the treasure hunt.
Seeing Mu Chen's promise, a smile appeared on Owen's face.
However, Mu Chen still has a problem.
"Where did you get this treasure map?"
Owen explained.
When he was young, he left his hometown to wander outside, and Owen was a goblin with ideas, and he did not change careers such as merchant, mechanic, and alchemist like other goblins.
Instead, I chose a profession that seemed rather chicken - cartographer!
Owen was thinking that if he could join an adventure group, explore a few ruins and dig up a few treasures with the adventure group, it was estimated that he would soon be able to earn enough money to return to his hometown.
