Chapter Seventy-Five: The Sacred Pendant
"There are also some shiny crystals and some alchemical medicines. It doesn't look like the level is low and should be worth a lot of money! ”
Listening to Alexander's mouth full of the word "money", Ace was speechless for a while. Was this guy a poor ghost in his last life? So even though he was born into a very wealthy family, he still can't get rid of his greed for money?
Ace is about to enter a meditative state and regain the magic of his body. At that moment, Alexander suddenly burst into tears.
"Huh? What is it? A torn piece of paper with some mess drawn on it? It seems to be ...... A map? Such a piece of torn paper is hidden in the deepest part of the garment. Is this old man a fool? ”
Alexander counted all the loot and slowly stood up.
When Ace heard Alexander's words, he couldn't help but think: Is it a map?
"Alexander, show me the map." Ace said.
With the crumpled map in his hand, Alexander walked up to Ace and said, "Here you go." It's just a half-broken map. What's there to see? ”
Ace took a look and saw that there were many roads painted on it, as well as signs such as mountains, forests, and grasslands.
The most special part of this map is that there is a very strange pattern in the upper right corner.
"This is the badge of the bluebird." Ace soon recalls seeing this strange pattern while reading various magic books in the academy library.
This is a very strange bird. The bird's wings burned with blue flames. It is surrounded by cyan air currents. It has an ocean at its feet, and an island hangs in the sea. The strangest thing is that above the bird's head, there are countless stars. It looks weird. The sky was filled with lightning.
Although Ace didn't know the purpose of this map, he knew that it must be related to the Blue Bird. It's not simple. Otherwise, how could this old fox hide it in the deepest depths?
Ace and Alexander quickly split all the spoils.
Alexander took everything related to fire magic, including fire magic stones, spells, scrolls, forbidden spells, and more. Of course, the old fox still has some alchemical drugs on him. His purpose is clear, and that is to sell for money.
Ace really didn't understand that a guy with a few high-grade Holy Light Magic Stones would care about these magic items. He really didn't even let go of the fly legs.
As for the gold card from the Imperial Gold Bank, Alexander reluctantly gave it to Ace. The reason why he was willing to give it to Ace was because he did not have a registered residence in the New Delhi Empire, nor could he use the card of the New Delhi Kingdom Gold Bank.
Ace gets a sparkling crystal, some forging materials, and a half-broken map.
In fact, Ace knew that he didn't lose at all, because such an old magician would definitely have a lot of wealth in his life.
Judging by the old fox's coldness, it was clear that he was already a veteran. He must have done a lot of murder and robbery. Suffice it to say, his trophies are certainly more than that.
Therefore, it is clear that there must have been a large amount of currency in the memory cards of the Imperial Gold Bank.
In addition, Alexander also knew that Ace's efforts and contributions to killing the fire mage were immense, and he also knew that he would be embarrassed if he took the gold card.
After dividing the spoils, they found a safe place to spend the night.
"I said, Ace, why don't you take me on a tour of the New Delhi Empire? It's not fun to stay in this forest all the time. It's really boring to deal with various levels of Warcraft every day! Alexander said as he treated Ace's burns with a light spell.
Ace smiled and said, "Don't you like money very much?" There are a lot of low-level Warcraft animals here. As long as we cooperate with each other and kill a dozen of them every day, we can sell thousands of gold coins with the Warcraft Core alone. Isn't that great? ”
Alexander was upset: "It's good to make money, but it's nothing new. I've been here for almost ten days, but I haven't gotten out of this forest yet! ”
Ace turned to him and said, "Don't you want to find your friend?" They may have been looking for you. ”
Alexander did not hesitate to refuse: "Don't! I don't want to find them. Once I met them, they would definitely take me back to the Yama Empire. I managed to escape this time ......"
At this point, Alexander knew that he had missed the point, so he immediately shut up and said no more.
Ace didn't ask much, just looked at the strange pendant around Alexander's neck, which looked strange, like the horns of an animal.
But not small. It feels a little weird to do pendants.
During this observation, Ace discovered that whenever Alexander felt nervous, he couldn't help but touch the pendant with his hand.
"What's your pendant? I see you always rub it. Looks like your baby. Ace couldn't help but ask.
Alexander grabbed the "pendant", turned around, and said with a cautious expression, "Don't look at it, this is our family heirloom." ”
Ace was a little shocked, and then he couldn't laugh when he cried: "Don't worry, I won't be as treacherous as the old man." I'm just a little curious. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. ”
But Alexander hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Well, I'll tell you." This thing is called a sacred pendant. My father said that he could never take it out unless he felt like he was going to die. ”
"Sacred pendants? It's a big name. Is it really that powerful? Ace clearly didn't believe it.
Alexander looked serious: "Well, my father said that I could never take it out and use it unless I was sure that I might die." ”
Ace had never seen Alexander's face so serious, and he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. But since Alexander didn't want to say why, Ace wouldn't ask either.
After Alexander performs a series of Holy Light magic healings, Ace summons the black bear and asks it to protect him for a short time. Then he fell asleep again. He could feel himself one step closer to a fifth-level mage.
During this time, he fought the Earth Storm Bear every day to enrich his combat experience. Today, in the battle with that level 6 fire mage, I gained more experience. After each battle, Ace was able to make progress and gain some insights. He believes that as long as he trains hard, it is not impossible to complete the promotion task in a month.
Ace gradually realizes that every actual battle on the edge of life and death can bring more benefits to people, which is much faster than simple meditation.
Recent events have also made Ace realize that in such a jungle world, you can only survive if your strength and combat skills outnumber your enemies. Otherwise, that careless old man will be your fate.
