68. Hundred Fragrances
Wang Qinian is in the air, the whole island is not big, the terrain is not complicated, the central protrusion, about 100 cubits high, there is no big hill, it can only be regarded as a small mound, a spring on the island, the trees are not high, you can clearly see every place, the treasure hidden on this island, then it is very likely to be buried in the ground.
Wang Qinian fell, he called four people, two of them were thin and small, they used long-eared devil bats and night owl demon cores to plant magic, and when the ability was activated, they could fly in the air, and two others, Alof and Gulliver, these two were dragon knights who could fly with the help of flying dragons.
"If you are able to fly, you will divide the island into four areas, and you will search the island to see if there are any unusual places, especially the traces left by people. Wang Qinian said, at the same time allocated four search areas, the four people answered, the two appeared on their backs with light wings, soared into the air, and the two dragon knights also piloted the flying dragon, they did not fly high, only slightly higher than the treetops, began to search.
The search was relatively slow, and after waiting for more than two hours, the four of them came back one after another, each reporting their findings, to sum up, Wang Qinian drew a topographic map, and from time to time marked something on the map, the treasure is very likely to be in a region in the northwest, because in that area, three white bones were found, and there are some doubts in other places, and there is another point, there seems to be no magical creatures on the island, for this, Wang Qinian is easy to understand, after all, not all places have magical creatures, besides, if there are magical creatures, it is impossible for pirates to bury their wealth there, most pirates are ordinary peopleγ
"Okay, now we have a couple of locations. Although it is not known where the wealth will be hidden, it is more likely in this area. Wang Qinian pointed to the rough map and said that the place he was pointing to was where the white bones were located.
Demps looked at the map and said, "This place may be relatively large, but there are several other places that cannot be ignored, we are in the southeast of the island, it is better to take a detour and look at several places." β
With that, Demps drew a circle with his hand on the map, including several suspicious places. Wang Qinian raised his head. Ask for the opinion of Bister and Bichel: "What do you think?"
"I think it's based on Demps's opinion, the island is not big anyway, just walk a little more. Bister said, and Biecher nodded in agreement.
Wang Qinian saw that everyone agreed. And nodded. At this point. He has always been democratic, but this democracy is also limited to people like him. That is, the rest of the magicians directly ignore it, and the pirates don't think it's wrong, he is actually a dictatorship, because he is responsible for the life and death of a group of people, and others also put their own life and death in his hands.
Wang Qinian selected ten people to go with them, bringing the corresponding iron pickaxes and shovels and other tools, the others stayed in place, a total of fifteen people set off, they first went to the first place, the nearest point, through a section of overgrown weeds, into the woods, this place must have been no one, everyone smelled a faint fragrance, at first no one paid attention, walking, Wang Qinian felt that this aroma was very familiar, couldn't help but stop, looked at the bean-shaped fruit hanging on the branches, and gradually connected with a spice plant in his memory, that is Baiyan incenseγ
Herb is a precious spice, but not a magic plant, in the secular aristocratic royal family often seen, once at the peak of the price was speculated to be several times that of gold, under normal circumstances, it is also equivalent to gold, is this island has a large number of herbs, but the average person does not know what Herb looks like, only know that it is a powder.
Wang Qinian stood down, he had read a lot of books, and the benefits were reflected, and Bister asked, "Why did you stop?"
Wang Qinian looked at the branches: "This seems to be a spice, no, I have to take a look." Saying that, he reached out and picked a branch, put the purple-black bean-like fruit in his hand, twisted it with his hand, the fruit was broken, revealing the purple flesh, Wang Qinian's hand was in flames, but he did not burn the flesh, but was roasting the flesh, a rich aroma made people smell the body and mind, the smell was noble and mysterious, and he called out before Qier: "Yes, it's a hundred incense, hell, there is this first large piece of hundred incense woods on Treasure Island, the pirates don't know, they already know that there is a hundred fragrance, what are the pirates!"
Wang Qinian sighed: "We are looking for the hidden treasures of pirates on the island, and this piece of incense alone is probably worth more than the so-called pirates' treasures. β
The pirates behind him shot a greedy light in their eyes, and the mages around him were the same, everyone's breathing became rougher, Wang Qinian ordered the two pirates to call people, except for the people who were left to guard the ship, the rest of the people came to me to pick spices, and left two flying dragons on the ship, as well as the basic guards, and the others came.
After a while, the pirates got up, and found that the word of the hundred incense had been passed from the mouths of the two pirates, and when the pirates heard that the price of this thing was equal to gold, their eyes immediately appeared with a golden light.
Wang Qinian explained the key points of picking and how to dry them one by one, and Demps said to Wang Qinian in private: "Is it processing some magic herbs?"
Magic Hundred Herbs are actually refined Hundred Herbs, refined by magicians with magic power, which is rare in the market, and the price is usually dozens of times that of ordinary Hundred Herbs, especially its embalming properties, which can preserve the corpse for a long time.
Wang Qinian said with a smile: "You can refine some of them, but when we get on the boat, now we continue to move on to the next location, maybe there are surprises waiting for us." β
All the magicians laughed, and Wang Qinian said: "Tom, you just stay here, this forest is very large, it will take about three or four days to pick it up, and it is not allowed to leak the information, we will come to this place every year in the future, and it is a long-term and fixed source of income." β
When they set out, there were twelve more people, Anthony and Riov also stayed, in fact the first place did not arrive, they soon arrived at the first place, it looked neat in the air, there were a few white things on the ground, and when they looked closer, they realized that these things were actually wild beehives, in the low bushes, bees flying wildly.
After checking the surroundings and finding nothing, Wang Qinian poured some honey, he used the Gu insect technique to control the queen bee, and after taking some honey, he left with everyone.
The forest became dense, the pirates stepped forward, brandished their swords to open the way, everyone followed, the speed slowed down, but Wang Qinian looked at the surrounding trees and weeds curiously, there were obviously many unknown varieties, Wang Qinian's heart moved, and by the way, he picked some specimens.
He was picking specimens, the people in front of him were in trouble, it turned out that they were wielding war knives along the way to open the way, alarming a wild boar, roaring and rushing over, Wang Qinian heard the gunshot, more than one, looked, a pirate hung the color, although it was not a monster, the wild boar rushed over savagely, although the shot, but did not hit, hurriedly let go, the wild boar's fangs opened a hole in his leg, fortunately other pirates also shot, the wild boar was unwilling to fall to the ground.
The pirates hurriedly stepped forward, but fortunately the wound was not serious, and after pouring a bottle of potion, the wound began to converge.
"Damn, that's bad luck. He spat hatefully.
"Okay, you have to be glad it's not a monster, otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy, you have your own ability, but you can't use it, who is to blame?" said another pirate.
"That's right, when the wild boar rushed, I panicked and forgot about it. He scratched his head in embarrassment.
Wang Qinian looked at the sky, it was almost noon, and said, "Let's cook here first, and then leave after eating." β
The pirates were busy, they were busy skinning the wild boars, and the two long tusks were also collected by the pirates, and in the market, they could be sold as ivory, while the pigskins were kneaded with clay for preliminary processing, and although they were not valuable, they could be made into leather shoes and the like. The wild boar is divided into strips, worn on branches and roasted over a fire.
The pirates took the kettle from their waists, and it was not filled with water, but with inferior barley wine: "Captain, do you drink?"
A pirate threw the flask over, and Wang Qinian stretched out his hand and continued: "I don't usually drink alcohol, but I can drink, and alcohol can have an effect on people's spell casting, so magicians rarely drink alcohol." β
Wang Qinian took a big sip of wine, covered it with a stopper, threw the flask back, and ate a bite of roast pork, the pirates only drank wine and ate meat: "Captain, the magician has not yet lived freely with us. β
"Nonsense, what do you know, magicians are like nobles, drinking coffee or tea, living elegantly. He was immediately hit on the hand, said another pirate.
For a while, wine jugs flew between the pirates and the magicians, and Wang Qinian said: "Drink to drink, don't get drunk, we have to go to other places in the afternoon." β
After a short rest after dinner, they set off again, and arrived at two places, although it was a little peculiar, but in Wang Qinian's spiritual sense, there was nothing else at all, although Wang Qinian picked two medicinal herbs, and there was no treasure.
Gradually, the tree became sparse again, a skeleton fell to the ground, the posture was more peculiar, the two skeletons with black holes were facing the sky with their eye sockets facing the sky, as if looking at everyone, its ribs were obviously broken, pointing in one direction, Wang Qinian found that its arm bones were obviously put into this way after death.
"Tell me, what does it mean?" Wang Qinian asked.
"It obviously looked like it was deliberately put like this after his death, and the direction of the finger must be a road sign, as long as we follow the direction of the finger, I believe we will find it soon. Bister said with confidence.
I agree with that. Temples said.
We just followed the direction of his finger and looked. Wang Qinian said, "However, when you get here, I'm afraid there will be traps, so you have to be careful in the first step." β
Wang Qinian said, the pirate was already impatient, and walked forward first, without waiting for Wang Qinian to finish speaking. (To be continued......)
