The ice surface of the Coldwater River.

"Monsieur Shabolai......"

"You don't have to be so formal, you will call me uncle in the future."

"Oh, okay. Uncle, didn't you say that Silvermoon Fort is directly south of Whitehorse Town? Why cross the river in a big circle? ”

Xia Bolai smiled: "Little clever ghost, do you really not know or fake don't know?" ”

Rosen smiled awkwardly, knowing that he couldn't continue to play stupid in front of Shabolai.

"For Cyrus's relics?"

"That's right."

Shabolai turned his head and looked back, and it was so white that there was not a single figure in sight, let alone Lilith's figure.

"The people of the Nightingale are not stupid, so let's move quickly."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and began to trot on the ice.

The Hanshui River is very wide, the river surface is generally more than 300 meters, the widest is even more than 2 miles, although most of the river surface is frozen, but there are still some places that are not frozen, when walking on it, you can hear the 'creaking' ice cracking sound.

Shabolai ran cautiously and asked, "Where do you think Cyrus will put his luggage?" ”

"He was going to retreat to the other side of the river, so he was naturally hiding on the other side."

"But he has a lot of good things in his suitcase, and he has a lot of money, and he will definitely feel distressed if he loses it, so he definitely doesn't worry about going too far away from the East XZ, and may even send one or two living corpses as guards."

Xia Bolai nodded again and again: "Yes, very good." Anything else? ”

"He planned carefully this time, spent a lot of effort, and was sure of victory, so when he placed his luggage, there was a high probability that he would not put a lot of effort into hiding, because he would take it away at any time."

"So, there should be some traces around the treasure ground, maybe even footprints."

"Hmm~ yes, is there anything else?"

"The snow is vast, the ground is difficult to discern, and it is very easy to get lost. To avoid accidents, Sellers most likely hid his luggage in a relatively conspicuous place. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lawson noticed some unusual traces in the snow in front of him.

After squinting his eyes, he smiled, "Look over there, there is a long string of pits. Judging from the distance, it should be the footprints that have been covered by the wind and snow. ”

Shabolai immediately changed his route and followed the footprints all the way.

Soon, the two crossed the river and came to a flat riverside tidal flat.

In the middle of the tidal flat, there are two huge rocks stacked on top of each other, and at the place where the two rocks meet, there is a gap, and there is a thick pile of snow outside the gap.

"That's it!"

Xia Bolai smiled, and after putting down Lawson, he pulled out the Demon Breaking Knife, replaced the hoe with the knife, and dug hard.

First dig up a frozen corpse, which is a living corpse that has lost control, and inside, there is a wooden suitcase.

Shabol dragged the box out and waved at Rosen again: "You stand far away, be careful that there are traps in the box." ”

After Lawson walked away, he first used his defensive skills, and a silver glow suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, and then he used the tip of his knife to pick the lock on the suitcase.

The first lock was fine, and the second was fine, until it reached the bottom drawer, and there was a 'pop' sound, bursting a dark green mist.

When the mist touched the wooden box, it immediately decayed at a rate visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, a layer of black debris was shed.

Xia Bolai was prepared, raised his foot and kicked lightly, kicking the box out of the green mist range.

A gust of river wind blew, and soon the green mist was blown away, and Xia Bolai dissipated his combat skills, and pulled out one drawer after another to check.

After a few glances, he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, this guy has hidden a lot of money." ”

He took out a bulging money bag and gently swiped it, his big mouth almost grinning to the base of his ears: "That's at least 200 crowns!" That's enough for me to be in the House of Roses at Silvermoon Fort for three months! ”

He then pulled out two more crystal bottles, one containing a sky-blue liquid and the other amber.

"Aha, the Awakening Elixir, the Dream Elixir, I'm useless with these two things. Lawson, then. ”

"What's the use of that?"

"It's all for mages. Awaken Flasks allow you to stay focused and save a lot of mana when casting.

"Dream potions, can give you a good night's sleep. No matter how depleted the mana was before, when you wake up, you will definitely be alive. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out another beautiful silver badge.

After taking a closer look, he exclaimed, "The official mage's emblem is made of pure Mithril. Such a small piece is worth 50 crowns, hehe. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly slapped his thigh hard, showing a deep look of regret on his face.

"Oh, alas! Just now, I only cared about venting my hatred, and I didn't take off the invisibility cloak on Cyrus, and I lost a lot of money. ”

On the underground black market, the Cloak of Invisibility can sell for at least 100 crowns.

Rosen shrugged: "It's probably useless to take it off, the cloak has been broken by me." ”

That's right, and it calmed Shapole's pain a little.

In the end, Shabolai pulled out three books, the first called "Notes on the Spells of Cyrus" and the second "Principles of Exact Geometry".

Both are beautifully bound hand-copied books.

The style of the third book is obviously different, the cover is black, and the book is called "Proverbs of the Awakening World".

The title of the book depicts an outstretched hand with a fire floating in it, and in the midst of the flames, it is a burning city.

The city is very well drawn, you can see the burning buildings, and countless people who are wailing in pain in the flames but have nowhere to escape.

Xia Bolai was taken aback: "Tsk~ No wonder this guy's mind is so twisted, it turns out that he has read a forbidden book!" ”

Rosen was curious: "Banned books? What happens after watching it? ”

"It's not going to be good. But if you let the people of the Pure World Sanctuary know that you have read this book and have it close to you, they will do everything they can to burn you to ashes with the Holy Fire! ”

Rosen grew more and more curious.

Without waiting for him to ask, Chabolai took the initiative to explain.

"The Pure World Sanctuary is a royal department specially established by Emperor Deuta I, nominally under the command of the local temples, but it has a strong independence.

"Its purpose is to clean up the evil thoughts of the Golden Land, as long as everything related to the evil thoughts, regardless of people and things, is among the crackdowns."

He pointed to the Proverbs of the Awakening World.

"The author of this book is the Burning Sky Archmage Greymane, and there are two famous quotes in the book."

"First, 'Spells are the path to heaven for mortals'. Second, 'The Golden God is neither divine nor great, he is just a transcendent mage who deceives the world.' ’”

After speaking, he pouted: "If you want me to say, Greymane is a nerd, and compared to a young and beautiful girl, spells are a fart!?" ”

Rosen smacked his lips secretly, this is simply a declaration of war against God, and it is not unjust to be listed as a banned book by the Golden Empire.

As for cleaning up evil thoughts, it's probably the otherworldly version of the text hell.

He cautiously asked, "Uncle, can I take a look?" ”

Shabolé handed the book to Rosen: "Just look at it." Also, look at it, don't talk nonsense everywhere, otherwise even Madame won't be able to save you. ”

"I know."

Rosen took the "Proverbs of the Awakening World" and turned it page by page, turning it very quickly, turning the pages of the book with a 'bang, bang, bang', and the book was very thin, and it was quickly finished.

"Give it back to you."

Xia Bolai was stunned: "That's it?" Isn't it fun to just 'bang bang ”

Rosen spread his hands: "Actually, I just want to see if there are any interesting illustrations." Obviously, no. ”

"Eh~ This is not a villain book, how can it be illustrated."

Shabolai took the book, and with a flash of light in his hand, he turned it into powder.

He opened "Cyrus's Notes on Spells" again, and after carefully flipping through it, he tore off the back dozen pages, also crumpled them into powder, and then handed the two books to Rosen.

"Okay, you can take these and look at them. Look at this book casually. Spell notes can only be read, don't learn them without permission. ”

"Once there is a spell accident, it will be seriously injured at least and lose your life at worst!"

"I see."

Looking at the scraps scattered in the wind, I knew that what was recorded on it must be a dark forbidden technique, although I didn't plan to learn it, but I didn't even look at it, and I still felt a little pity.

"Let's go."

Shapole picked up Lawson again, quickened his pace, and hurried south.
