576 Location of ancient ruins
Sinyer, Sunset Tavern.
On the top floor of this black-and-white agency, in one of the rooms, Rieger and Liz actually appeared here.
It stands to reason that Rig shouldn't be here.
The owner behind the Sunset Tavern has a relationship with the city lord Sgranto, something that Rieger knew on his first day in Sinyele.
Now, he, an outsider who seriously injured the city lord of Sinyele and razed the city lord's hall to the ground, actually had the audacity to live in the hotel of the Sunset Tavern that was related to the city lord, which is really a bit contemptible.
After leaving the main hall of the city, Ke Li chose this place as a temporary place to stay, quite a kind of consideration that the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Of course, when staying here, Rig still used illusion to change the image of himself and Liz, so that the people of the Sunset Tavern would not find out that the person staying here was him.
Although, this must not be hidden from the Sunset Tavern, which also has a business of selling intelligence, and the other party will sooner or later suspect him and inform the people of the City Lord's Pavilion, but Li Ge does not want to stay here for a long time.
By the time the Sunset Tavern sensed something was wrong, he might have taken Liz with him.
So Rig and Liz appeared in the room together, one sitting down and the other standing beside him, like a personal maid.
"Master."
Liz handed Rieg a thick wad of parchment.
"This is the information you found in the top-secret library of the City Lord's Mansion?"
Rig took the pile of parchment and looked at it as he spoke.
"Yes." Liz nodded again and again, and said with a look of luck: "I roughly flipped through it, and all of this information had the words 'Ancient Ruins of Sinyele' on them without exception, so I brought them all back." ”
"Okay." Rieg smiled at Liz and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"No, it's not hard." Liz wrung her fingers embarrassedly, and said in a mosquito voice: "It's the master who really works hard." ”
Not really.
She sneaked into the top-secret library of the City Lord's Pavilion by herself, and found this pile of parchment from it, and it was not difficult at all, but Riege was alone to face the entire City Lord's Pavilion, including Sgranto, which was even harder for Riege.
Fortunately, Rieg was not injured and was not treated to anything, otherwise the little princess might have been so ashamed that she shed tears.
Rieger, who didn't know what Liz was thinking, smiled again, picked up the pile of parchment, and began to flip through it.
Seeing this, Liz didn't bother Riege, but sneaked to the pantry on the side, and made tea for Rig a little clumsily.
In the room, all that was left was the sound of Rig flipping the parchment.
Rieg glanced at the ten lines of the parchment and found that most of them were useless.
Indeed, as Liz claims, without exception, they all refer to the "ancient ruins of Sinyere."
But these things, either someone secretly exchanging information about the ruins, touching the taboo of Xinyele, and being secretly sent by the enraged Sgranto to solve the records, or the relevant records of the knights of the city lord's pavilion arresting people who violated the taboo outside, can be said to be completely useless to Rige.
Of course, a small number of them are quite useful.
For example, an old and torn parchment that Rigg is now reading records the entire process of the discovery of the ancient ruins of Sinyer.
"On the XX day of the XX month of the XXXX year, near the territory of our city, an ancient ruin emerged from the desert." ”
"At first, people passing by the area around the ruins thought it was just a mirage and didn't pay much attention to it." ”
"But as time passed, someone eventually passed by that ancient ruin and found that it was real, not a mirage." ”
"This matter was reported to the City Lord Pavilion on the XX day of the XXXX year, and spread on the same day, entering the territory of the Kingdom of Jinas and the Kingdom of Rebru." ”
"Half a month later, Lord Sgrunto Bayard decided to personally lead a team and mobilize ten Oasis Knights and a hundred elite knights to explore the ancient ruins." ”
"A day later, the city lord Sgranto Bayard returned, but none of the Oasis knights and knight elites around him returned, and they died collectively." ”
"Seven days later, the kingdom of Jinas sent a number of knights and court magicians to Sinyer." ”
"On the same day, the team representing the Kingdom of Rebru also arrived at Sinyele." ”
"The lord of the city, Sgrunto Bayard, introduced the envoys of the two countries for an hour-long meeting, during which the three sides clashed fiercely, and the lord of the city, Sgrunto Bayard, sternly rejected the two countries' requests to explore the ancient ruins, and the talks ended in nothing." ”
"The next day, the two teams left Sinyele at the same time, but instead of returning home, they learned the location of the ruins through another channel, and went to the ancient ruins in the desert despite the obstacles of the city lord Sgrunto Bayard." ”
"Then, another ten days later, the two countries sent representatives again, claiming that the two ruins exploration teams sent here had lost contact." ”
"The three sides held a second meeting." ”
"This time, the lord of the city, Sgranto Bayard, had to agree to the request to explore the ruins, and together with the representatives of the two countries, went deep into the desert." ”
"Another day later, the lord of the city, Sgrunto Bayard, returned to Sinyele with a serious wound, and only a handful of representatives from the two countries remained." ”
"Since then, the three parties have held a third meeting, and it was finally decided that the ancient ruins in the desert will be owned by Sinyer, and the kingdoms of Jinas and Rebru will no longer interfere." ”
"When the representatives of the two countries left, the lord of the city, Sgranto Bayard, immediately made the ancient ruins taboo, forbidding anyone to mention them in the Sinyele." ”
"The location of the ancient ruins was also sealed off by the city lord Sgrunto Bayard, who laid a variety of magic mechanisms to make the ancient ruins disappear from the desert." ”
Looking at the passage written on the shabby parchment, Rieger frowned.
"Is this ruin so dangerous?"
Sgrunto Bayard went to the ruins twice, once losing many of his subordinates and fleeing in disarray, and once he came back with serious injuries and almost not being carried in the ruins.
The Kingdom of Genus and the Kingdom of Rebru are both one of the four great powers of the Akaxia continent, but the representative group sent to explore the ruins was wiped out once, lost contact, and was severely damaged at one time, and only a few people returned.
After that, whether it was Sinyele, the Kingdom of Jinas and the Kingdom of Rebru, they all tacitly abandoned the ruin, lest they avoid it.
Especially Sgranto, I don't know if he was frightened, he directly blocked all the information related to the ancient ruins, and listed it as a taboo, and no one was allowed to touch it.
All of this is nothing more than telling others that the ancient ruins that appeared out of thin air are tiresome.
Even a veteran Juggernaut like Sgranto, who is only one step away from Lv.8, went there twice, but escaped back in embarrassment both times, which is enough to prove that there is a great terror in the ruins.
If Rieg decided to go to that ancient ruin, there was a high risk that even he would be in deadly danger that even he could not do.
This......
"How much has piqued my interest......"
Rieg couldn't help but not flinch, but his mood became a little inexplicably excited.
No way.
Dangerous?
Venture?
Crisis?
Can it be fatal?
How could Elige, with his thrill-seeking personality, not be overjoyed by it?
"I really want to see what's inside."
Rig suppressed the excitement that boiled in his heart and read the rest of the information.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and when he reached the last few pieces of parchment, Rieg saw a map.
It was a topographical map of the area around the city of Sinyele.
The topographic map carefully depicts the terrain in the vicinity of Sinyele, and also plans out the roads, and finally draws a straight red line on one of them, and at the end of the line appears a large "X" mark, which is blood-red to tell everyone that there is something wrong with this place.
"It's a shame that Liz was able to find this and bring it back."
Rieger was amazed.
The map is not marked with the words "ancient ruins of Sinyele", and ordinary people who had seen this map would definitely not associate it with the ancient ruins unearthed near Sinyele.
Liz brought it back, though.
For no other reason, the map was placed in the deepest part of the library, along with the record that Rieg had just read, in a box.
Liz thought that the map, along with the record, must not have nothing to do with the ancient ruins unearthed near Sinyer, so she brought it back.
"That's right here, right?"
Rig looked at the place with the red "X" on it, and after noting down the route to it, he put the map away.
"Master, please use tea."
By this time, Liz had already made tea, brought a cup of black tea to Riege, and gently placed it on the table.
"Thank you."
Rig came back to his senses and thanked Liz before picking up his teacup.
"No, that's what I'm supposed to do."
Lizzy smiled, seemingly happy that Rieger didn't dislike the tea she made.
Rige was tempted to say that this didn't seem to be what an acolyte should do, right?
What is a squire?
They are thugs who have made a pact with a magician, not a subordinate who pours tea and water for people.
The attendant is also serving as a guard for the master, not as a maid.
Liz saw this as something that a squire should do, which made some sense.
But with examples like Marilyn's, Rieger couldn't kill them all with a rake, so he simply didn't refute it.
"I know where the ruins are."
Rieger just said this to Liz.
"Yes, yes?"
The smile on Liz's face retracted.
"Are you going?"
Rieger looked at Liz like this and asked softly.
Liz was silent for a while, then nodded firmly.
"Go!"
