The Curse of the Golden King?

Lune, who had been indulging in dry cooking, looked up keenly.

He smelled the scent of the main storyline.

Rune looked up at Old Moss.

At the same time, Diana was also curious about this, and asked rhetorically, "What is the curse of the Golden King?" ”

Isis was a little stunned, and said casually, "The curse of the Golden King is the curse of the Golden King?" ”

“……”

Like honey is like honey.

You're in the same place.

Both Lune and Diana were a little embarrassed.

At this time, Isis slapped her head and smiled awkwardly, she also knew what the problem was.

Locals like them, who were born and raised, are familiar with the legend of the Golden King of Onishi, and they couldn't be more familiar.

The melon is ripe.

So Isis has tacitly acquiesced that the others know these things.

After all, Diana was just a foreigner.

I do have preconceived notions.

"Where do you start?"

Isis was also a little worried, and didn't know how to talk about it, the legend of the Golden King could at least be said for a few days and nights.

Old Moss sorted out his words, and he spoke: "It can be roughly understood as the curse of wealth. A thousand years ago, the Golden Sand Sea was a fertile oasis on which a human state was established called El Dorado. The king of the country is called the Golden King and loves to collect wealth. And then because of something the country fell, and the land became a desert, and the treasure was lost. Therefore, people later called the man who was bent on treasure cursed by the King of Gold. ”

An ordinary fable.

It's everywhere, it's not very eye-catching, and there's nothing special about it.

Here's a quick look.

Diana didn't want to dwell too much on that.

Now Diana has spent the night in the Obsidian Gathering and is ready to head to the core city of Mar.

The current goal is to return to the royal capital, or at least to get in touch with his father with the help of the communication magic of the core city of Mar.

Diana didn't want her father to worry too much.

Then, Diana still wanted to help the gerbils as much as she could.

Others treated Diana with kindness, and she wanted to return the favor.

But.

Diana didn't know what to do with these difficult things for a while.

It is impossible to go directly to the core city of Mar and reveal the identity of the princess to the city lord.

And then what to say.

Ho, you are committing a crime of perverting the law for bribes, and you should turn yourself in and seek leniency.

Any evil will eventually be brought to justice!

Diana was happy to think about this kind of thing.

However, Diana didn't expect her dragon cub to be very concerned about this kind of thing.

It listened intently to the legend of the Golden King told by Old Mes.

From time to time, there was a thoughtful gava sound.

Wanted to say something.

Eventually, Diana saw the young dragon climb onto the table, its little paws dipped in water, and drew on the table top in the coffee shop.

Although it is crooked, like a painting homework for elementary school students, everyone can still see that it is a ship?

Diana remembered that she had seen the mysterious ship earlier, and she instantly understood, and as a substitute, she took the initiative to help Lune ask: "Is there a ghost ship in the legend of the Golden King?" ”

"Ghost ships? What is that? ”

Who would have thought that there would be a reversal of offense and defense, Old Mos asked Diana rhetorically.

None of the locals had heard about the ghost ship.

That's the weirdest thing.

"Ah, I seem to have an impression. It has also appeared in recent days. Anyway, it's elusive, and I don't know what it's looking for. ”

Isis interjected, "They don't think the Golden King's lost treasure is real?" Treasure hunting? ”

Unlike diehards like model workers, Isis is young and energetic.

There wasn't much entertainment in the underground towns, and apart from eating, sleeping, and hunting beans, Isis's favorite thing to do was gossip and poke his head out at the entrance of the cave and watch the yellow sand dance and the rolling sandstorms.

On the verge of death, Dapeng spreads its wings, which is interesting.

Isis did see some strange images when he was looking at the wind.

A steel battleship sailed on the sand sea.

The picture is so outrageous, Isis just sees it as a mirage.

Anyway, there is no shortage of weird things in the golden sand sea.

Breaking through the sky and being indecided, quantum mechanics.

It wasn't until Diana took the initiative to bring these things up that Isis felt as if the ghost ship wasn't just a hallucination.

"Are ghost ships important?"

Old Moss asked.

Before Diana could speak, Rune nodded her head.

"Karma."

-1w debt for completing the mission, +2w for the failure to complete the mission, this kind of task lune must be solved as soon as possible anyway.

The sooner he finishes it, the sooner he can be wealthy.

No, the goodwill points that are not hard to get have to repay the loan in half.

So, no matter what, Lune also wants to complete this task as soon as possible.

And it was impossible for Rune to explain to Diana why he was doing this.

"So, what exactly are you looking for the ghost ship? Or are you heading to the core city of Marr? ”

Old Moss tapped his finger on the table, and he asked about Diana's intentions.

Good people do it to the end.

Whatever Diana chooses, he will support it as much as he can, with food, water, props, and an obsidian gathering place.

If Diana was to go to the royal capital, the core city of Marr was a must, and Old Moz happened to know some of the paths that would lead around the city, which were hidden passages carved out underground by gerbil sub-people, which would save a lot of time.

As long as you bring enough water and resources, you can travel through the most inhospitable areas and into the mountains, and two days is definitely enough.

However, if Diana wants to find the ghost ship without a trace, the future is uncertain, and she can easily get lost in the desert with no bones left.

Therefore, Old Mos did not recommend Diana to find any ghost ships, it was too dangerous.

Diana glanced down at Rune, who was sitting on the table.

It seems that now Diana and Rune's intentions diverge.

Diana wanted to return to the royal capital as soon as possible.

Lune, on the other hand, wants to be the first to find the ghost ship, complete the task released by the system, and pay off the cyber loan as soon as possible.

While Diana was looking at the young dragon, Rune also glanced up at his owner.

The eyes are facing each other.

"Karma ......"

A cheerful voice rang out.

"Old Mess, you're stupid. It's all about it. ”

It was still Isis who had a big brain, and the wheat-skinned girl slapped the table, and she stood up: "Anyway, this is still a long way from the core city of Mar, can't you find the ghost ship and walk at the same time?" Let's go! Let's go on an adventure together! ”

Isis was in high spirits, she was too bored to live in an underground town anyway, she might as well have some fun.

Fun people can't find fun, and fun is the greatest fun.

Ghost ships in the desert are rare.

Isis's eyes lit up, and he began to think of the future, and he boarded the ghost ship, became a member of it, and set sail together to find treasure, and maybe meet the rubber man, the three-knife green hair, or something.

She's going to be the woman of the Sand Piece!

"Nonsense! What are you making a fuss about! ”

Facing Isis, who was a little out of the way, Old Moss had a serious expression, and he whispered: "Now that stupid human beings are still eyeing the tiger, maybe ......"

Suddenly, he noticed that Diana's expression was a little subtle.

Because Diana is also a stupid human in her own mouth, Old Mos had to cough dryly, "Some humans with bad intentions have put down their cruel words and said that they want to drive us out of the underground town. Those who are arrogant have never regarded us as a race of wisdom, and they come and go as soon as they are called. We must make up our minds to fight them to the end. ”

"If those brutes really want to make a big deal out of it, it's a big deal for us to join the rebels! Go kill them and leave no piece of armor behind! Let Emperor Ramon know how powerful we are subhumans! ”

Lu En was quite familiar with this uncle's speech, and he was a bit of a good man in Liangshan.

Moreover......

The Resistance?

What is that?

Thinking of this, Rune glanced up at Diana thoughtfully, and then looked at the other two who were also more or less emotional.

What's going on? Am I an outsider?

It's as if you're the only one who doesn't know what the rebels are.

Lune thought about it carefully, and he vaguely remembered.

Ace the Birdman said he was the Resistance?

Combined with some of the experiences of the sub-people, Lu En probably understands that the rebels should be the front of the sub-people uniting to resist the tyrannical rule of the Moon Eater Empire, right?

The rebels are the Iron Beast Front, right?

"Actually...... Resistance ...... It's just a rabble......"

Seeing that the two gerbil subhumans have already used the rebels as a lifesaver.

Diana had something to say, and she didn't want these two good nezumi to die in vain.

As a royal daughter, she has access to knowledge that is unimaginable to ordinary people, and no one understands better than her how terrifying the war machine of the Moon Eating Empire can be once it is in operation.

The main reason why the emperor did not take action against the subhuman rebels was that he was not eye-catching.

Now the Moon Eating Empire is worried about internal and external troubles, the demon clans outside the country are eyeing each other, and the cursed beasts created by the blasphemous moon in the country are still raging wave after wave, and the clones lack skills, and the little iron beast battle front is not to be feared.

If you really want to do something, your backhand will be destroyed, and it will be easy to do it.

Leaving a group of sub-people to live within the territory of the country is only because of the kindness of the strong, in order to show the benevolence of the emperor and to show the diversity of the nation.

We are all subjects of the empire, so why do we have to divide subhumans and humans into them?

I set the order and rules, so I lead by example.

The people of the empire are numbered in the hundreds of millions, and subhumans account for only a few of them.

The wrath of the emperor, millions of corpses, even if all the subhumans are exterminated from the root, there is still no big problem for the empire.

The leader of the Iron Beast Front is also very aware of this, so the rebels did not make much movement, but only sheltered some subhumans who were abandoned by the times and could not integrate into human society.

"The emperor just doesn't want to deal with the rebels now, he just thinks ......"

"There's no need."

Diana pursed her lips, she knew that it was definitely not appropriate for her to say these words, some of her emotional intelligence was too low.

But.

Diana had to say it.

The rebels still exist because their leaders are able to judge the situation and not get involved in various events.

According to the fierce character of Old Mes, if the contradiction between the gerbil clan and the city of Mar is too intensified, expanded, and out of control, and the rebels stand on the opposite side of the empire, Diana dare not think about the result.

The contradictions between the two are best resolved peacefully.

The core problem is still that some people who deceive their superiors and subordinates to enrich their own pockets, relying on the sky high and the emperor is far away, and the emperor has no time to take care of every corner of the empire to do evil.

Diana didn't mind letting the group know if the power of the emperor was unlimited.

“……”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly became awkward, and both Old Mos and Isis were a little overwhelmed.

This kind of talk is a bit of a scorching thing.

Humans and subhumans are inherently contradictory.

This is a gathering place for subhumans, and Diana is now saying such a violent statement, won't she grow the morale of others and destroy her own prestige?

If it were a short-tempered subhuman, it would be a question of whether Diana would be alive or not.

Diana also knew these things, so she simply picked out her identity and position.

Although this is somewhat of a fox and a tiger.

"I'm speaking to you as a member of the Iron Beast Mercenary Band, so ...... Is this an exhortation? ”

In order to prove her identity, Diana also deliberately took out the investigator's ID and a metal mask with a bird's beak from her satchel, and the gas mask made by Kitt had her exclusive security mark on it.

"Iron Beast Mercenary Regiment? Little sister, you are a member of the Iron Beast Mercenary Regiment?!! ”

Even more exciting news was in front of Old Mos, and he couldn't figure out why a human would become a member of the Iron Beast Mercenary Regiment.

In the eyes of many subpeople, the Iron Beast Mercenary Group is a banner that spans many eras, and although the heroes are now in their twilight, the prestige of the mercenary group is still rooted in people's hearts.

It can even be said that the Iron Beast Mercenary Group is the predecessor of the Resistance.

Otherwise, the rebels would not be called the Iron Beast Front.

Old Mos was in awe.

Although there was a lot of confusion, the prestige of the Iron Beast Mercenary Group in the hearts of the people made him accept what Diana said.

"As for why I joined the Iron Beast Mercenary Group, it's a long story, I just want you to believe that I want to help you solve your problems, and I can help you solve them."

This was the first time Diana had taken over the internal affairs of the Empire.

As a royal daughter, she also knows that her identity is destined to be unable to live a peaceful life as an ordinary person.

She had imagined what her father would do for her as an adult, to become a saint of the Holy Court like Sister Luna, to purify the filth, to banish the plague, and to fight against the Blasphemous Moon and the Cursed Beast.

Or, like Apollo's brother, he led his troops into battle, guarded the frontier, and fought to the death with the chaotic demon guys.

In the past, she imagined the scene of her first participation in the affairs of the Empire, either wearing a gorgeous long dress or wearing solid armor, and receiving instructions from Emperor Ramon in the midst of the hearts of the people.

Diana never thought of herself.

The first job turned out to be in a subhuman town more than ten meters underground, and he even wore dirty clothes.

But.

Not sure why.

Diana, on the contrary, felt that it was more suitable for her.

It's nice to be approachable......

The conversation is back to square one.

"So you're coming to Mar City to help us get things done? The question is, what to do with your dragon cubs. ”

Isis asked.

Diana just smiled, and she said, "There's always a way to get the best of both worlds." ”

It was unknown why Luan wanted to find the ghost ship, but Diana believed that it must be a very important thing for her dragon cubs.

As a mother, she unconditionally supports her dragon cubs.

Since Diana chose to have them all, the rest was only a matter of order.

"No, you should go and find the ghost ship first. We shouldn't be able to fall here for a while. ”

Old Mos shrugged and flagged.

As soon as the words fell.

The slap in the face plot happened.

There was a dense exclamation outside the door of the coffee shop.

"Oh no! The Golden King's undead army has rushed in! ”
