Li Yue drew out his cross sword and pointed it at the box. If it moved again, he would split it open with one strike to see what good things were inside.
At least judging from the feeling just now, the box is heavy and there must be something valuable inside.
Otherwise, the thieves wouldn't have taken it this far.
Just as Li Yue aimed the tip of his sword at the box, the box spoke.
"I wouldn't do this if I were you."
The sound from the box was thick and deep, and Li Yue wasn't sure where it came from. It wasn't from the box anyway, because it didn't have the buzzing sound he expected.
"Monster?" Li Yue raised his sword like a kitchen knife.
"If the Kingston family knew that you used this sword to open the treasure chest, their expressions would be wonderful..." The chest seemed to be able to see Li Yue's movements.
The incomprehensible words did not slow down Li Yue's movements. Li Yue tightened his grip on the sword handle and was about to exert force.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, you don't even know who I am, why do you want to chop me down?" The box became anxious and vibrated slightly.
"Oh? Who are you?" Li Yue was sure of at least one thing, that is, the box was afraid of cutting it.
"I'm glad you asked this question." Box seemed to be trying to retreat, but it was not easy to move.
"I'm Gamma..." Box introduced himself.
"A talking box?" Of course Li Yue had clairvoyant eyes and tried to look into the box, but it was blocked by some kind of film and couldn't see clearly.
"A bard."
"Inside the box is my greatest epic."
The box seems a little proud, and its posture is more straightened than before.
"This is different from the bards I've seen." Li Yue said nonsense. Although he was not sure what the bards on the continent of Kaios looked like, they should not grow into a box.
"Something went wrong, and I have to survive in this way and protect my poetry." Gama said a lot, "You know, when my epic comes out, you will know how lucky you are to meet me today..."
"As lucky as those thieves?" Li Yue pointed to the new corpse in the square behind him.
"No, no, no, they are just a bridge for me to meet you. They are not worthy of leaving their names in this poem." Gama denied eagerly, "They can't even understand the metaphors in the poem and can't find the true context of the story...
"
"So you originally wanted to ride in their car and sing to them all the way?" Li Yue didn't understand what Gama was implying, "It seems to be very noisy..."
"As I just said, you can't imagine how lucky you are to meet me today..." Gama's tone was very proud, as if the next words were a bombshell.
"I'm from the south."
"Huh? So what? We're not going along the way?" Li Yue didn't know what Gama was proud of.
"Damn it, the south! The south! There's a war going on in the south!" Gama's speaking speed suddenly became faster, "I come from the Demon King's City, from the war that just ended!"
Speaking of this, Li Yue remembered that the bald old man had said that it was inevitable that the Imperial Army was at war with the Demon King's City where demons breed.
At that time, Li Yue thought it was an ancient war that had nothing to do with him. Unexpectedly, only two days had passed and the war was over. There were even bards who turned into boxes and escaped back?
"Desert?" Li Yue asked.
"It's not important!" Gama was furious, "I witnessed this war between humans and demons and wrote an epic poem!"
"Oh...so you want to spread this epic poem back to the mainland?" Based on what he learned from the old man, Li Yue finally understood the logic of gamma.
A bard is a brave man, and the promotion of a brave man requires various materials and rituals...
Obviously for bards, witnessing a war is of great value and is something worth boasting about.
"I knew that if I followed this group of thieves, I would meet someone who truly understands." Gama gave an affirmative answer, "You can never imagine what we went through in this war..."
"Dominos, Bone Tree, Bone Sea...Light Screen, Seven Rivers, Holy Way..."
"Shadow, snail, blood..."
"The seraph that can summon the light wandering soul, lighting up the light of chaos in the heart of Bone City..."
"It was an apocalyptic scene, an epic story that could alert mankind for thousands of years..."
As if to create suspense, Gamma sang some key words from the war in a unique accent, seemingly hoping to arouse Li Yue's interest.
But I have to say that his introduction was too general, and Li Yue didn't even know what he wanted to express.
But the singing is pretty good and quite pleasant.
If you add accompaniment, it can have a more medieval feel.
"Are you the only one who has returned? Can't others spread the praise?"
Li Yue was thinking that if the imperial army in the southern war was defeated miserably, the retreating troops might affect Hongyou Town and affect his own path.
Once you encounter a defeated army, it will be a troublesome matter.
"Death is the main theme there! It can be seen everywhere! A ninth-level paladin and a great elemental wizard died! The revealer of light was beaten away! The prince of the empire died under the city! It is extremely miserable!"
"The Minister of Creation came running over, so he could only turn around and run back!"
"What's even more exciting is the ending of that war!"
"There are demons that have been forgotten!"
"I'm still looking for the source!"
"They're all dead..."
Gamma's voice became louder and louder, making Li Yue's head buzz.
"Only the bards who wrote epic poems on the spot would have a chance to escape!" Gama was very happy to emphasize the greatness of his work.
"Why? What's the difference between bards?" Li Yue's thoughts were quite divergent.
If top combat powers such as the Paladin and the Archmage didn't escape, how could the bard survive?
"Because we must live, and someone must live to sing the praises of this epic." Gama's tone became proud again.
understood.
The bard should be a kind of brave man who is good at survival and escape, but Gama said it very vaguely.
"So you are the only bard who escaped?"
"Hell! Every bard writes poetry from a unique angle! What they write is bullshit! I know how great my work is, so I can't let them succeed!"
"Whoever's epic is released first and sung first will become the final version!" Gamma seems to be competing with someone, with a strong sense of mission in his head.
And Li Yue almost laughed out loud.
How about releasing an album after this?
However, Li Yue is still somewhat interested in the outcome of this war - 3 of the 11 punctuation points are near the Demon King's City. If he wants to complete them, he may one day go to the south.
While the bard spends a lot of money, it's a good opportunity to learn about the war.
It just so happens that I can also listen to him talk about the top power of the Kaios continent, so as to better understand my position in this world.
"Oh... Then it would be a pity not to listen to such a great work..." Li Yue wanted to guide Gama to sing his epic and listen to the story of what happened between the Imperial Army and the Demon King's City.
"In case you don't ask, this is my master's work, the fruit of my hard work."
Seeing that Li Yue was finally aroused and hung the cross sword on his waist again, Gama finally let out a sigh of relief and started singing.
