"Why is this place?" Saphire said with some frustration. After discovering the special hill marked on the map, Lawrence and the others immediately stopped admiring the scenery of the lakeside and rushed towards the treasure location. As a result, they followed the
When they ran there out of breath on the path by the lake, the two of them unexpectedly discovered that the so-called treasure hiding place was the attraction called the Treasure Cave that the hotel owner had mentioned before.
"There is indeed something wrong." Lawrence also frowned. Since this place became a tourist attraction, there have been 800 or not 1,000 extraordinary people who have come here. If this is really a treasure trove, the chance that the good things will still stay there is really slim.
"Let's take a look." Lawrence pulled Sephiel, who looked a little frustrated, and ran down the mountain. "This is our goal anyway. How can we not go in and take a look when we get to the door?"
When they got closer, they realized that they had been rejected. Because this place is now a tourist attraction, an iron fence was built around the place for the convenience of management. But now, because the fishmen's attack has just ended,
This attraction near the lake is not open for safety reasons.
Fortunately, the hotel owner just now told them some special news after knowing that they were going here, so Lawrence quickly found the spare key under a paving stone at the door.
"It feels like there is nothing here, it's just an empty cave." When he opened the door and walked along a path to the entrance of the cave, Saphiel said after looking inside the entrance.
Lawrence felt that Seifer's description was very accurate. The cave was not as winding and winding as he imagined. It was full of forks and various traps used to prevent outsiders from infiltrating. When he walked to the door
I found that I could see the entire cave at a glance.
If it hadn't been for the treasure map before, Lawrence felt that he might have thought that the remnants of the Bloody Sky had no bright future after escaping here, so they simply took away their belongings and ran away.
After careful observation, Lawrence found that the cave was only more than three meters high, and it was an integrated space. The overall area was equivalent to the total area of Lawrence's house on Lime Street. If you stand at the entrance of the cave, you will find that
Visitors can have a clear view of everything inside the cave without entering the cave.
When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, the first thing Lawrence did was to observe the entire cave using the ability similar to the third-level magical mystic vision he had obtained after stimulating his bloodline. As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that the cave was filled with various magical auras like stars.
"What's going on?" Lawrence walked to the magic light at the entrance of the cave and examined it carefully. He found that the black stone mountain beside the cave entrance was inlaid with some white translucent stones. And those magic lights were
radiating from these white stones.
"Magic marble?" Lawrence quickly recognized what these white stones were. In this world full of magic, many things will be soaked with magic and turned into magic materials.
And this kind of marble, which contains magic power inside, is undoubtedly the best material for building various magic-related buildings. For example, many such materials were used in the magic tower of the magic guild that Lawrence visited before. But this cave
The mana marble veins here are of very low quality, so no one here has mined the veins.
When those remnants of the Bloody Sky hid things here, they probably hoped to use the magic aura emitted from these magic ores to confuse various magic detection methods to hide their secrets. However, this also made Lawrence decisively give up using
The idea of magic finding treasure.
After entering the cave, Lawrence and Sephiel each held a large portable oil lamp and searched the entire cave bit by bit. However, after spending a full 20 minutes searching every corner,
They had to admit that this place seemed to be just an empty cave with nothing else.
"Obviously this is what is drawn on the map!" When the two people walked out of the cave without finding anything, Saphiel said with a frown. "Is there any special requirement required to reveal the treasure? For example, I saw it before
In previous treasure hunting novels, many treasures are hidden and no one can find them, but after chanting a certain spell or using a certain magic key, the treasures will automatically appear in front of people."
"Spell, key -" Saphiel's words made Lawrence think. Then he took out a golden pendant from the space bag that was a little larger than a coin, with a skull relief on it and studded with red gems. If
If anything can be used as the key to unlock this treasure, then this should be the only one.
However, nothing happened after the pendant was taken out. It did not slowly float from the hand like Lawrence had imagined before, and then emit a ray of light to open a hidden door. It also did not fly directly in any direction to bring them to the same place.
A hidden place. It just stayed quietly in Lawrence's hand.
"Hey, when did you buy this pendant? It looks quite unique." Saphire came closer and looked at Lawrence's palm and said, "But it feels a bit too personal and not suitable for people.
Bring it to more formal occasions.”
"I didn't buy this, you know my taste is not that special." Lawrence looked at the pendant in his hand towards the sun and said, "This is something I found from an extraordinary site before.
It was discovered by the same group as the treasure map. I suspect this is the key to the treasure. The only problem is, I don't know how it is used."
"I think we can go into the cave again and find out if there is any place in the cave that can fit this pendant." Saphire suggested. Lawrence thought about it and found no other way, so he talked to her.
We walked into the cave together.
"Hey, here -" After searching in the cave for more than half an hour, Lawrence found a groove at the entrance of the cave that he thought was the most unlikely. The groove was hidden in the cave wall with an ax or chisel.
in the traces left.
If they hadn't taken this pendant and searched for it consciously, most people wouldn't have discovered the problem here at all, and would have just thought that it was the shaking hands of those who left the traces that made a section of the traces a little deeper.
After Lawrence inserted the pendant in his hand into the groove, he felt a little bit of extremely weak magic flow out of the pendant. Then two rays of light shot out from the two rubies embedded in the skull's eye sockets, on the opposite side
A map is projected onto the rock wall.
"It's really cunning." After inspection, Lawrence discovered that the bottom of the groove happened to be a piece of magic marble ore, and the original magic power of the pendant must be activated by the magic power of local marble ore.
"This is the map of this area." Because of the lakeshore and the small Table Mountain on the map, Seifer quickly recognized what the map represented. After a brief identification, she pointed to the map.
The place where the red five-pointed star was painted said, "If the map is correct, the treasure location should be on the uninhabited island opposite this cave."
After hearing this, Lawrence also recalled the surrounding terrain. The place where they were now was a bay. The trestle they just went to was at the bottom of the entire bay. The cave under the hill where they were now was at
The top of one side of the bay, and the small island is just at the entrance of the bay.
The island is a pocket island only a hundred meters away, about five or six hundred meters away from the cave. They had looked at the island from a distance before on the road, but there was nothing except scattered plants on the island.
see.
"In that case, let's go over and have a look." Lawrence suggested after thinking for a while, "I remember we saw a small boat on the roadside just now on our way here."
