"Are you here to hunt for treasure? You've come to the right place." When Lawrence and the others had just stepped onto the cobblestone street at the entrance of the town, a chubby middle-aged man carrying a large box came directly to
We met them. It was obvious that the clothes they were wearing and the luggage they were carrying made the middle-aged man immediately recognize that they were travelers.
After hearing Lawrence tell them their purpose, the man greeted them very enthusiastically, "Come with me. My hotel is the one closest to the treasure spot, and my ancestors once participated in that treasure hunt."
Fight. I would love to share the stories of my ancestors with you if you are willing."
Considering that he planned to stay here for about a week to search for this treasure, he really needed a temporary place to stay. So Lawrence and the others followed the hotel owner to his hotel.
"Look, this is my hotel." After following the boss along the cobblestone streets for three or four minutes, they arrived at the edge of the town, and a two-story building built by the lake appeared in front of them.
This small building has light gray walls and dark gray roof. The windows and doors are all made of white wood. At the same time, there is a small but exquisite small garden in front of the small building. Because the entire building
The building is located on a small mound by the lake, so half of the guest rooms can see the sparkling blue lake just by opening the windows.
However, due to the previous fish-men invasion, all the glass windows of this hotel have been nailed with thick wooden boards. Two or three people who look like they are the staff here are setting up ladders and using tools to remove the old wooden boards one by one.
The wooden boards nailed to it. After seeing their boss come back, the workers greeted him one after another.
"We have just opened today, and you are the first batch of guests after the Lakeside Hotel reopens. So I can give you a 50% discount." Looking at the hotel that looked like a construction site, the owner showed a very embarrassed look. However,
As a weathered businessman, he quickly adjusted his mentality and made a very tempting suggestion.
"Okay, give us a double room with two single beds. We will stay here for a week." After entering the lobby, Lawrence said to the boss who walked behind the counter and took out the registration book.
"We have all kinds of rooms here now." Glancing at the two young people in front of him, the boss suddenly said something that seemed to imply something, but Lawrence persisted in Saifei's half-smiling eyes.
made your own choice.
Maybe it was because there were basically no tourists at the moment, so when Lawrence and Saphire put the luggage used for cover in the room and went downstairs, the shop owner sat behind the counter as before, but he had more in his hands.
Published a novel to pass the time.
"Can you please tell me about those treasures?" Lawrence first bought a large pot of beer and a plate of nuts, and then motioned to the boss to come over and have a chat. "We came all the way from Eagle Castle to get here and there are
A very important purpose is to see the treasures in this place."
"A local treasure -" the boss suddenly became excited when this topic was brought up. After taking a sip of beer from his exquisite tin wine glass, he kept talking.
"This is a very old story, a story that was only passed down by word of mouth in our lakeside town -"
From his boss, Lawrence heard some details that outsiders didn't know. According to him, all the events that happened that year were just an accident.
This town is located by a lake, and fish-man attacks are a very common occurrence for the residents of this place. Although it is basically impossible for three or five fish-men to come ashore and cause any harm, there is no doubt that this is not the same as at home.
The presence of cockroaches makes no difference; it is a very annoying and annoying thing.
Therefore, since the establishment of the town, the town has maintained a volunteer patrol to stop the scattered attacks of murlocs. It can also provide valuable early warning before large-scale attacks by murlocs or certain monsters.
According to the boss, his ancestor was a member of the patrol team and was also a super warrior. The patrol team was patrolling the lakeside on the day the incident occurred. As a result, they found a small boat on the lakeside slowly heading towards the middle of the lake.
Sailing away. Because there was a murloc tribe operating nearby at the time, the captain kindly shouted to remind the people on the boat to be careful of the murlocs.
But what was unexpected was that after discovering the patrol, the small boat came back again, and then the people on the boat jumped off the boat and actively attacked the patrol.
The patrol team suffered heavy losses as soon as they encountered each other. This was partly because the patrol team did not expect that this group of people would launch a sudden attack, so they were caught off guard. Especially at that time, the patrol team carried the only weapon that could
The matchlock guns that ordinary people pose a threat to low-level extraordinary beings do not even ignite the matchlock, so that when most of them face a team composed of four extraordinary beings and eight ordinary people, it is no different from facing a beast with bare hands.
.
Fortunately, the sound of fighting here attracted a team of adventurers who were trying to hunt stone-skinned crocodiles on the nearby shoals. They were attacked from the front and back by five extraordinary people in that team and two extraordinary people from the patrol itself.
, this group of guys who made a surprise attack on the ship were completely wiped out.
"You mean the group of attackers were wiped out?" After taking a sip of beer to relieve the dryness in his throat caused by eating those dried fruits, Lawrence looked at the boss sitting opposite with a suspicious look. "Is it possible that the other party
Just fight to the death and no one surrenders?"
"That group of extraordinary beings did fight until the last moment." Having said this, the hotel owner also showed a suspicious expression. After all, in that era, extraordinary beings were so superior that they only killed a few ordinary people.
All you need to do is lose money and accept some punishment. So fighting to the death like this seems a bit strange.
"As for those ordinary people, only two survived at the end of the battle, but because their sudden attack made everyone angry, the battle was very fierce. So they were seriously injured when they were captured alive. My ancestors
The two prisoners died before they could get any information or confessions."
"Afterwards, my ancestors and the expedition team inspected these people's ships and the things they left behind, and unexpectedly found a lot of jewelry on the ship. If the value of those jewelry is based on the current currency, it is probably equivalent to 10,000 yuan," he said.
At this point, the boss took down the glass display cabinet behind him, then opened the lid and took out a few things from it.
"My ancestor also received a trophy back then. However, because the patrol was in a completely unfavorable situation at the beginning of the battle, he was also seriously injured. Especially the enemy's rogue used
The poison crossbow arrow that hit his knee severely affected his actions, so that he soon gave up his job as an adventurer to marry a wife and have children in this town, and opened a tavern to support his family.
"
"You know, extraordinary people who work as adventurers often don't save money when they are young. So my ancestor could only sell most of the jewelry assigned to him to open this hotel.
But he also left these few valuable trinkets as souvenirs."
Lawrence and the others focused their attention on the jewelry they took out at this time, and found that the jewelry was just a very simple silver brooch, six buttons inlaid with amethysts, and a pair of red spindles.
Stone gold-plated silver cufflinks.
"This was a very common style in that era." Saifer said after looking at these silver jewelry carefully, "And they were all made by ordinary jewelry craftsmen. It is basically impossible to tell the origin."
