Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Valuable Map
A few people followed its gaze and found that it was staring at the map that old Adrian had given them before leaving.
"It's not a valuable thing, just a map. Allen said.
"Map?" said old Trisus, unfolding the thick piece of parchment.
It's no wonder that old Trisers had his eye on it, the parchment looked quite thick, with delicate patterns on the surface, and it looked old, like an antique. Not surprisingly, considering that this was the stuff of old Adrian before.
"It's because it's marked that there's an entrance here, and we're wandering around here. Allen said.
"There's an entrance here?!" said old Trisus, with a subtle change in expression as he heard the answer.
"What's wrong?" Alan asked, then pointing to the special marker on the map, "This is it." ”
Old Trithus stared at the mark for a long time, then looked back at the "fingers of the gods" thoughtfully.
It was only when it looked at it that Alan suddenly understood that this mark did not refer to this cave, but to this space-time rift behind them......
Then old Trisus and his two brothers looked at each other, shook their heads, and continued to stare at the map.
After a few moments, it pointed to a circle on the map and asked, "Did you mark this one?"
It was a tall mountain range that stretched for dozens of miles, on the edge of the Glenkron Plateau, very close to Nikko City, but not in the territory of Nikko City.
"You mean...... Dragon Mountains?" Alan looked at it and said, "Uh, I marked it." ”
"Where are you going?" asked old Trisus.
"Well......" Alan thought for a moment, not wanting to reveal too much to it, and said perfunctorily, "Because we are passing through there...... I heard that the valley was inhabited by dragons, so I wanted to take a sneak peek. ”
Old Trisers did not speak, his mouth slightly open, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, he finally spoke slowly: "Yes, Long Qun...... There is indeed a large group of dragons living there, very terrible dragons...... The flames that erupted from his mouth were enough to burn all the rocks to powder......"
"Have you seen them?" Alan was a little curious.
But old Trisers did not answer, but suddenly said, "If you are willing to give it to us, then I can send you to Glenn Crown now." ”
"What?" Old Trissers' sudden words made Alan a little puzzled and stunned.
"I mean, this map ......," said old Traces, "if you're willing to give it to us, then now you're ready to go." ”
"This map?" Alan was a little surprised, he never expected Trithus to want it.
"Is it worth that much money?" said Ariel, too.
Although the map looked old and detailed, they couldn't believe it was worth a thousand gold coins......
No, judging by the reaction of old Trithus, it may be worth more than that......
"Is there any secret hidden in this map......" Alan couldn't help but think.
"Unfortunately, this is not possible. Before Alan could speak, Cynthia said, "We need it to show us the way." There are still many places to go, and we can't get anywhere without it. ”
Alan also thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, it is important to us...... I would have considered giving it to you after our journey, but for now......"
"Then ......" Old Triss swallowed, looking a little impatient, but still patiently asked, "When will your journey end?"
"We don't know ...... this," said Allen, "and it might only take a few months if it were fast, but it would be a long......, long time if we were in trouble like the one we have now."
"It's been a long, long time!" said old Trissers, looking a little restless, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, "this is not going to work...... I don't want to wait any longer!"
"What are you waiting for?" Alan was confused by its strange reaction.
But after a few moments, old Trisus stopped, and his tone returned to normal.
"Since you can promise to give us this map later, then I'll make an exception for you......" It turned its back to them, unable to see its expression, "but please hurry up and don't break your word." ”
"Thank you very much!" said Allen, "and we'll do what we say!"
Although I don't know why this map is so attractive to them, it still makes Allen feel a little excited to get their help at almost no cost. And after their mission is completed, it should be very rare to use this map, even if it is given to this group of gnomes.
Since the crack was so narrow that it could barely accommodate one person in and out, after a brief discussion, they decided to go back and settle the carriage and Arthur first.
There are still a lot of sungrass in reserve, so don't worry about the state of these two unicorns at all. Since the area is deserted, there are still many wild animals in this forest, which is enough for Arthur to fill his stomach.
Alan was afraid that it would be anxious if it waited for a long time, so he deliberately pointed it in the direction of Glenn Krone: "If the rain stops, take the carriage with you to find us." ”
When everything was ready, they returned to the dwarf's palace.
"Out of an abundance of caution, we need to go with you. Before leaving, the elder Triss said, "You have left no collateral behind, and we need to make sure that you are not going to leave alone, and that we can really be rewarded for this favor." ”
"It's ......" Alan hesitated. Having a gnome following them all the time may make them less efficient and it may become inconvenient to discuss things. After all, it's not someone you can fully trust.
"And the place you're going to is very dangerous, and if something happens to you, we can keep the map safe. Old Trisus said again.
"What are you kidding, what can happen to us. Riel was a little upset, "It's a crow's mouth." ”
"Oh well. After much thought, Alan nodded, "But I hope you can go a few less to avoid chaos." ”
"Then I'll be the only one to follow. Old Trisus said and then turned back to his two brothers and explained: "If there is anything you two can discuss, and the more important ones will be decided when I come back." ”
With that, he walked to the rift in space-time, squinted his eyes at the doorframe for a long time, and then recited a series of incantations in an unfamiliar language......
