Chapter 41: Xue Hua's Plan
The carriage continued along the wide road, and soon carried its occupants through the walls between the outer city and the business district.
The business district of Rugoin is a bustling and prosperous scene, with countless people wearing arabesque robes and headscarves walking through the streets.
This street is the famous shopping street that runs through the entire business district, so both sides of the street are lined with a variety of exotic shops.
There are also some very savvy shops that invite musical instrument masters or other performers outside the store to solicit business with their performances.
All in all, this shopping street is not only more spacious and tidy than the roads in the outer city that have been passed before, but also the number of people has not decreased but increased.
But the lively street scene was not attractive to the six people who were sitting in the carriage at the moment.
The news that Farah had just brought in had made their current situation extremely passive.
You know, the professionals are all good at exploring and gathering intelligence in a variety of environments, and no one can guarantee that any of them will have important information about the tomb and are waiting to hand it over to the royal family to receive their rewards.
Although Xue Hua knew very well that the portal of the mysterious shelter was in the prison below the palace, the source of this information was a game he had played in his previous life.
After witnessing the huge difference between the real-life Rugoin and the game, even he couldn't be sure if the information was accurate.
Even if the portal was still lying quietly in the palace's monster-infested underground prison, they wouldn't be able to go in to confirm it right now.
In particular, this action must be carried out under the premise of concealing the royal family of Rugoin.
You must know that there are three legendary professionals guarding the current Lu Gaoin Palace, and even if it is a swarm, there is no way to explore the underground prison that is 100 meters deep without alarming them.
Therefore, how to obtain the other components of the Staff of Hradim before the royal family has become the most important thing in the current situation.
"What other advantages do we have?" After being silent for a long time, Xue Hua was the first to speak, and asked Farah with a gloomy face in front of him.
"We still have some valuable clues in our hands for the time being... But those were only fragmentary clues, and they couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the other parts of the Staff of Hradim......"
Farah shook her head and replied in a low tone.
"......" Hearing his answer, Xue Hua also fell silent again.
The ancient tomb of Talasha has been hidden for so many years without being discovered, and it is obviously not without reason, and it is difficult to rely on those small clues to deduce the location of the "portkey".
However, Xue Hua suddenly remembered something very important, so he hurriedly asked Farah: "You said that you have already researched the location of the King's Staff, but the information was stolen by the spies sent by the royal family, so it caused the other party to take the lead... Where is the King's Staff located? ”
"Uh... Guarded by a group of catmen in the dry highlands, the leader of which is a cat-man enchanter, the Mad Blood Witch, who hides the King's Staff in the sacrificial altar at the bottom of the main hall, and must use a special cat-man spellcaster spell to properly open the altar. ”
Farah was stunned for a moment, a little unsure what the use of Xue Hua asking this was.
The King's Staff has been acquired by the royal family of Jehine, and this location should no longer be useful.
However, what Farah didn't know was that his answer made Xue Hua's heart suddenly shake.
Temple of the Dead! Crazy Blood Witch!
These two nouns quickly awakened his already somewhat faded memories.
If he remembers correctly, the three must-have items for crafting the Staff of Hradim are the "King's Staff" with the handle, the "Serpentine Ornament" at the head, and the "Hradim Cube" for crafting.
Of the three, the King's Staff was supposed to be located in the "Maggot's Lair" in the "Distant Oasis".
When he first played the game, he remembered it very clearly because he had a very bad impression of this ghost place.
The narrow, dark sandworm tunnels are filled with countless water and fat warriors (a disgusting monster that discharges like crazy when beaten) waiting to surprise you from behind any corner and slimy slime door, and there's no room for you to dodge the scurrying lightning in the narrow passage that barely allows one person to pass through.
However, now, the King's Staff has actually appeared in the Death Palace, located in the dry highlands, where the Hradim cube should have been placed!
Was this just a coincidence, or was the original location of those things indeed in Xue Hua's memory, but the order was just disrupted?
In any case, the news was a good starting point for him, and he decided to set off for a distant oasis as soon as he settled down in his quarters in the city.
However, in reality, it would take at least half a month to get from the Rubble Wasteland to the distant oasis, during which anything could happen, and if the components of the other two Staff of Hradim were not where he was going, then this period could be the biggest variable in the whole plan.
Therefore, he needs time, at least to hold back the hands of the Rugoin royal family, so that they will not be able to get information from other professionals smoothly in the next half month.
And if you want to do this, you can only rely on the help of the two guardians in front of you.
So, he raised his head to look at Farah and asked in a very solemn voice: "Lord Farah, I have some immature ideas for the other components of the Staff of Hradim that need to be verified, and it will take a little time, but if my idea is wrong, we may lose this time, so that the royal family can obtain some very important information......"
"So, I need your help and a few other Guardians......"
"You want us to help you hold them down?" Farah was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the young man in front of him with a strange gaze, he didn't understand it at all, this little guy didn't even look at the information, and he actually had an idea in his heart?
"Yes, Master Farah, I hope you can help me hold them back for a while, at least so that I can test my ideas......" Xue Hua nodded and said.
"So... If you're right... What do we gain? Farah cautiously straightened up, his hand holding the staff faintly pale.
The stakes are very high, Xue Hua has just arrived, it can be said that his understanding of the whole thing is still in a superficial state, he made this request at this time, which can be said to be very abrupt, but now they are pressed for time, and Lu Gao is already pressing forward step by step because the royal family, so he can't help but deal with it carefully.
However, Xue Hua's extraordinary performance in the Battle of the Stone Wilderness gave him a glimmer of hope.
This kid has shown miracles every time at a critical moment, maybe his arrival is a turning point in the predicament they are facing now?
"If my speculation is correct, then my trip will bring us back one of the components of the Staff of Hradim, and the exact location of the other!"
Xue Hua said categorically.
"What!!"
The people in the carriage were suddenly shocked by Xue Hua's words and sat up straight!
