The ancient plane tree has stood here since the birth of the city, witnessing the long process of transformation of this land from wilderness to neighborhood. In its eyes, the stone houses and grass roofs of King Inver's period are long-faded memories. The barbarians
Their ancestors have disappeared for ten centuries; adventurers during the great pioneering period may have walked under its branches and leaves, talking about the strange monsters in the mountains and the gold and silver that can be seen everywhere... Living fossils are used to describe its charm.
The impression was absolutely appropriate, and it was not an exaggeration to call him an elder with respect, but now it has disappeared and turned into a microscopic model in the fairy treasure box. In its place, only the wind blew emptyly and rolled up a few colorful fallen leaves.
.
The small park is still lush, with grass and shrubs growing wildly. The gray-billed bird leaves a confused cry in the flower beds. A simple mind cannot figure out where those branches that branch and climb like giant arms are now.
Has it happened? Will a tree that was born seven hundred years ago fade away with the tide like the ocean that existed seventy thousand years ago? There has never been such a distant memory in their veins.
One day in the near future, residents who happen to pass by this place may be surprised because they find that the small park in front of them is so unfamiliar that it can no longer remind them of the time when they played happily here as a child. But what is missing?
, maybe even he himself can’t explain it clearly.
Human thoughts are so fragile and will always be destroyed by heavier things, so there is no soil left for a tree to take root and grow.
Ringer said to the shepherd girl beside him: "I finally understand why bards and playwrights like to mention the treasures of fairies."
In all kinds of fantasy stories, adventure treasure hunting has always been an enduring routine. Where does the treasure the protagonists are looking for come from? Depending on the background of the story, the characteristics of the times, and even the creator's personal preferences and other factors, many interpretations will be derived.
Many different sources.
The famous literary magazine "Borth Review" once conducted a poll on this topic and finally announced the "Ranking of Treasure Inspirations Most Favored by Creators". The top ten excluded the more common "Legacy of the Subjugated Country" and "Pirate Treasures".
", "Heritage of the Hidden Order" and "Ancient Family Treasure", the three results involving fantasy creatures are "Dragon Treasure" in second place, "Secret Treasure of Mountain Monster" in fifth place and "Secret Treasure of Mountain Monster" in tenth place.
"Fairy Treasure House".
Needless to say, the stereotype of a giant dragon that loves treasure and even sleeps on piles of gold coins; the Troll Monster is a folk tale widely circulated in the central and northern parts of Sigiria, which mentions a huge body with four limbs.
The short giant monster with a silver sword likes to walk through the mountains and ridges, looking for gold, silver and gems buried in the ground, and takes them to the common grave of the mountain monster clan after death. Countless people throughout the ages have believed it to be true and have persistently searched for it.
But nothing was found, so many legends and stories were derived, collectively called the Mountain Demon Secret Treasure.
As for the goblin treasure house, most of it has nothing to do with gold and silver treasures. It is more well-known for some incredible treasures, such as holy spring water that can grant wishes, silver marrow crystals that will bring good luck when worn, and the ability to understand birds and beasts.
Zhiyan’s gemstone necklace and the like.
But the story only mentions what kind of treasures they have, and never mentions how they collect these treasures. Now Ringer has witnessed this scene with his own eyes. If every fairy can shrink the treasures he likes
And stored in the treasure house, the scale will probably be more astonishing than the gold coin mountain in the Dragon Cave or the secret treasure in the mountain monster tomb.
Although they are indeed smaller in size, have a gentler temperament, and don't like to fight, you can't underestimate these cute creatures because of this. Just like Xie Mi, wouldn't she bite Alice when forced? She also
I’ve really done this.
After putting away the miniature sycamore tree and the hotel, the group planned to leave Rosting City and return to the mountain castle where the Cloud Whale Floating Island was temporarily docked. The movement of the fairy magic just now was not small, although Saint Xalia used the thread of fate to slightly cover it up.
However, there is no guarantee that the traces of magic power changes will not leak out and be caught by the eyes and ears of the night watchman, so it is better to leave this area as soon as possible.
"Let's go, Xiaoxia."
Siesta sat cross-legged on Saint Xalia's soft and bright emerald hair in an elegant posture, and said with a smile, straightening the corners of her skirt that were slightly upturned. The rose pattern decorated on the skirt was smooth and bright, setting off the
A calf as smooth as jade ends in high-heeled boots tied with a white ribbon and a bow.
By the way, the bartender girl Shelia is sitting on Saint Xalia's left shoulder. Her posture is relatively relaxed, her hands are slightly supported backwards, her legs are crossed, and her little feet in black leather boots are swaying; and Xie Mi
He sat on his right shoulder, raised his hands as if cheering, and looked excited, as if he couldn't wait to go back and announce the good news to his friends.
Although it is a bit rude to think so, Linge still feels that Saint Xalia seems to be used by these three sisters as a very convenient means of transportation?
The girl herself didn't care very much. After putting away the thread of fate, she planned to leave. When she was about to take steps, she suddenly paused and then looked back. However, there was no one in that direction. There were only a few gray-billed finches jumping around the corner.
Jump up and peck at the dead leaves scattered on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Ringer asked.
Saint Xalia replied: "Someone is coming."
Ringer frowned: "Night watchman?"
How could it be so fast?
"It should be." Saint Xalia said, stretched out her hand and pulled it in the void like plucking a string, and then said to Ringer and the three traveler elves: "I have distracted their attention with the thread of fate.
, those people will probably be around for a few hours. Before that, let's go back to the island."
The roads in the mountains of Sausun were dangerous and rugged, but with the help of the traveler elves, a few hours would be enough. Therefore, no one raised any objections, and soon left Scherer Street in another direction and headed towards the Sausun Mountains.
.At least run a safe distance before the night watchman notices the clues.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But before leaving, Ringer still had some doubts in his heart.
Even if the night watchman can monitor the changing values of magic power in the city through some kind of sophisticated magic instrument, thereby locking the target of the magic, the speed is too fast anyway, with a difference of less than five minutes.
If the Night Watch's magic instruments were really so advanced, not a single alien in the city of Rosting could escape and would have been wiped out by them long ago. Why would the pathogenic organisms in the garden be needed to monitor it?
Unless, that's not the night watchman.
……
"According to the investigation results, the target's life history is basically consistent with the information provided by Lord Langning, except for some deviations in some details. For example, Lord Langning mentioned that Mr. Yang Ke, the first resident pastor of Tianxin Church
He only adopted two children. After his death, his adopted son Linge inherited the position of pastor, while his adopted daughter Metien began to study medicine and herbal medicine on her own with the goal of taking the pharmacist qualification examination. In addition, Tianxin
There are no other members of the church. However, residents on the same street mentioned a girl named Alice. She had an unknown origin and seemed to suddenly appear in the church. She was very suspicious from any angle, and was identified by Ronning.
The target whom the adults described as 'calm, rational and not emotional' has uncharacteristically taken in this suspicious girl of unknown origin and hired her as a maid. It is hard not to suspect that this is to conceal her true identity - for example
,Magician?"
"The target was involved in the 'Blood Moon Incident' incident led by the cult organization Blood Red Feast. The reporter of the "Citizen Evening News" sponsored by the Red Prayer Society visited the church in the name of interview.
After that, I wrote relevant reports on the "Religious Decree". It should be noted that Fiyali's true identity is actually a cultist of the Blood Red Feast, so there must be some connection between the two things."
"After the Blood Moon Incident, the target who had never left Linwell City took his sister Merdine and the mysterious girl Alice who was suspected of being a magician, took a train to Rosting City, and disappeared on Sherrill Street.
He disappeared without a trace. After that, his whereabouts in the city of Rosting became secretive, as if his existence had been erased by some force. At least there was no relevant record in the files of the city's night watchman. When the target appeared again,
It is already in the Saussen Mountains adjacent to the city of Rosting, and happens to be in the same area as the hunted animist believer Rochelle. And the witnesses at that time were...us."
When Wade Locke said this, he let out a breath and said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, we actually missed the target of an A-level mission."
Sally, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took a bite of the mutton pie in her hand and said with a slurred expression: "Captain, you also gave him a III-type magic generator. Although it is about to break, it needs to be sent back to the construction management department for repair.
If so, maybe it can still be used."
"Who said he wasn't a magician at that time?" Wade said with a wry smile: "So the instrument didn't detect the magic breath in his body, so I naturally regarded him as the kind of tourist who didn't care about life and death and went into the mountains to play. Although we have to
While chasing Rochelle, you can’t just sit back and ignore the ordinary people in front of you. That would defeat the original intention of establishing the Balance of Order, wouldn’t it?”
Sally shrugged and said nothing more.
"It's very suspicious." Michelle stared at the text on the information with gloomy eyes: "From an ordinary person without magic aura to being able to confront the Earth Mother Titan head-on, less than a month has passed. This is something that cannot be done with talent.
To describe the changes, I can only suspect that he used some taboo ritual to achieve the purpose of quickly increasing his strength."
As we all know, this type of ritual usually requires the consumption of a large amount of extraordinary materials. And the cheapest and most common ritual material in this world is... human life.
Wade was silent for a while, and then said: "Perhaps, this is the reason why he is listed as an A-level target. In any case, we cannot allow such a dangerous magician to continue to exist. Agil, haven't you arrived yet?"
He asked, and Agil, who was driving the steam car, shook his head blankly: "I don't know, Captain. In fact, I have been around the area several times, but I did not find Sherrill Street as shown in the information.
."
Wade was stunned for a moment when he heard this answer, and then a warning sign suddenly occurred. He turned to look at Michelle, who had already taken out a brass embrace with a mottled shell that looked a little old from his pocket.
I opened the cover of the watch and looked at the scale pointed by the hour hand, and my expression suddenly became ugly: "Six-thirteen in the evening, captain."
Now, not only Wade, but others also felt something was wrong.
Because they came to this neighborhood around three in the afternoon.
Three hours have passed and we are still spinning in circles.
