Chapter 25: The Ancient King's Tomb (2)

"Magician Lane. A voice interrupted Ryan's thoughts about his lover. Ryan lowered his head. He saw Tedain sitting across the campfire, looking at him with bright eyes. Ryan was stunned, he looked left and right, but did not find Daphne. Tedaine guessed Ryan's thoughts, and he lowered his voice and said, "Daphne has gone to rest, and now it's my turn to keep vigil." ”

Ryan nodded, and he slowly suppressed the joy in his heart and calmed his emotions. Ryan even reproached himself a little bit for being so involved that he didn't even notice that they were changing shifts and keeping vigil.

Tedaine stared at the scroll in Ryan's hand with dead eyes, and said with some envy: "Oh my God, you can actually make magic scrolls, that's amazing, you magicians are a group of mysterious and awe-inspiring people." ”

Ryan looked at the scroll in his hand, then at Tedain's envious face, and smiled slightly, he saw the desire for magic in Tedain's slightly childish face, which was exactly the same as when he was a child. A burst of warmth swelled in Ryan's heart, if it weren't for the teachings of Teacher Galib and Teacher Delaney, he would at most become a young mercenary like Tedaine in front of him, and he would definitely not have the strength and experience he has now.

Ryan thought for a moment, he originally had the idea of giving the first magic missile scroll he made to Faraz as a souvenir, so Ryan lowered his head and picked out a better one from the four scrolls he made behind him, and then threw it to Tedain: "Give it to you!"

Tedain grabbed the scroll and kept stroking it, but his mouth said, "This, how is this good...... Ryan put his index finger to his mouth, made a silent motion, and then lowered his voice and said: "This is a secret between the two of us." ”

With an excited smile on his face, Tedain lowered his voice and said, "Thank you, Lane Magician. ”

Ryan smiled at Tedain and turned and walked to his tent.

The group shuttled through the woods, and Daphne walked far ahead of the group, searching for the advance. About thirty meters later, Burry was armed with a bow and arrow, and walked along where Daphne had walked. Behind Burry, Mark carries a big baggage, and these are the things he needs for this adventure. Dennis, Ryan, and Allendo followed closely behind Mark, while Tedain walked vigilantly at the back of the line.

In the past few days, the six arrow mercenary groups have been heading all the way to the southwest, and today they have entered a large forest, and the light shines down through the shade gaps, becoming much dimmer. When the light penetrated the shade of the trees reached its brightest day, a group of seven people from the six arrows came to the edge of a ruin.

Bury motioned for everyone to rest, so Tedain found a clearing at the edge of the ruins and lit a bonfire, around which everyone sat down, and Daphne walked alone into the depths of the forest.

Burry waited for everyone to rest for a while, he coughed, and then solemnly told everyone, "This is our destination." After we have lunch, we will open the door to the tomb. ”

"Right here?" Ryan asked, "It looks pretty shabby." Is that the famous king buried here?"

Burry nodded, and he explained, "When we first received this mission, we didn't leave immediately, but spent a lot of effort to inquire about the information left behind back then. The famous king began to build his own tombs during his lifetime, and it is well documented that there were six in all, in different parts of his desert territory. Of course, many people will covet the treasures he buried with him, but unfortunately the six tombs are all fake, and slowly no one thinks about it anymore. ”

"When our client came to me, to tell you the truth, my first thought was, 'Another guy who wants to get rich and wants to go crazy.'" But he took out a very detailed map, marked with the place, and provided the items to open the tomb. We will be skeptical, but in view of the objective reward, we will agree to give it a try. Unfortunately, we didn't prepare well and we lost two of our team-mates. ”

Speaking of this, Burry and the others bowed their heads together, and Ryan also grieved for the dead companions of the Six Arrows Mercenary Regiment, and bowed his head together with Allendo and Dennis.

Bury's words interrupted the sad atmosphere: "But we have found a lot of things in it, which prove that there is a good possibility that it is the tomb of the famous king, such as the frescoes on the walls, many powerful traps, and this one. Bury pulled out a thumb-sized brilliant ruby from his bosom: "This is a very precious gem, if it is put at auction, how can it be sold for more than 5,000 gold coins." My client doesn't need to deceive us with such a precious thing, does it? ”

Ryan and the others nodded together. Although Ryan and Alendor were not very familiar with these things, they still saw a lot of precious things after spending time at Faraz's house. Ryan remembered that Farlace also had such a tiara, which was set with a ruby about the same size.

"Excuse me!" Pastor Dennis asked Bury, "How did you get this gem?"

Burry hesitated, and when he saw that Daphne had not returned, he whispered, "One of our previous companions saw a statue of a monster, and the eyes of the monster were two rubies of this size, and he rushed up and dug one down. As a result, the mechanism is touched, and Daphne's lover dies trying to save him. ”

"So, please don't be angry, Magician Lane. Daphne is a little emotionally unstable because of the reckless behavior of her companion who has lost her lover. Through Burry's explanation, Ryan understood why Daphne was so unfriendly when she saw her, most likely because she was too young, and the female thief named Daphne thought she would be reckless.

Dennis didn't care what was going on between Daphne and Ryan, and when Burry stopped when he got to the most important point, he asked, "What kind of mechanism is it? Can you elaborate on it? It's important!"

Bury's eyes showed a hint of fear, and then vanished: "It's a monster!

"Alive?"

"Yes, Pastor Dennis. It sounds ridiculous, but we saw it with our own eyes, and the statue suddenly moved and grabbed Bob. Bob screamed in pain, so Angus rushed forward desperately, stabbing the monster in the eye with the long sword in his hand, but the monster was very nimble, and it dropped Bob and blocked Angus's attack with its wings. ”
