Cthulhu Gonfalons

Chapter 28

Ruhr, an orc robber, hoards his treasure in a place that is actually very secret. His treasure was in the depths of the Ashes Forest, next to the empty space raising the skeleton.

In the Ashes Forest, there are places where it is very easy to concentrate negative energy so that it is empty and flat. Under the ground, a stream of negative energy would slowly transfer the various bones here, forming a huge pile of bones. Every night, it would be a large group of skeletons that silently absorbed the negative energy into the open space and became powerful.

This special field is called “skeleton stack”. When Sui Xiong had just landed, he learned “stacks of skeletons”.

The place Ruhr used to hoard treasures is located near “pile of medium-sized skeletons”. Whether viewed from the sky or on the ground, nothing special could be found. Only by using position magic could coordinates be found.

Positioning magic is a very special magic that makes a great coordinate system for a vast land by combining horoscopes and detection. In a system, each coordinate is a place. It is said that there are always people, who learn position magic, which includes “high” in calculations. Even so, so far they have not succeeded.

It was somewhat inauthentic and complicated, yet still very popular. For one thing, it is helpful to take adventures in the wild and adventurers can determine directions by referring to the map. For anything else, it was very helpful for people to store treasures as it was almost flawless.

Before location magic was invented, treasure hoarders had to design some obvious but difficult-to-notice features for their hoarding sites. It's indeed a technical job. It was unknown how many people had found a place to hoard treasures according to the map left behind by the predecessors, but it was discovered that the treasure had been dug up by the passing adventurers and found traces. Some narrow-minded people even left traps in those places, which turned out to be a great trap for adventurers.

But due to the discovery of positional magic, hoarding treasures was much easier. People can make the place so unattractive that a group of people cannot find anything special even after searching for ten to fifteen days. Only by knowing the exact coordinates of the place would it be possible to find a treasure.

Compared to the predecessors who wanted to compete with the future counterparts, the treasure hoarders would now feel it appropriate to make the secret of the treasure enough and then leave their children and grandchildren the coordinates and methods of mining.

It was also the same for “Bloody Hand” where Ruhr to hoard treasures, whose position was not too special. Even with the exact coordinates, Gerrard and the others were a bit confused when they arrived at the location indicated in the coordinates.

“This place doesn't look special at all. Even if there were treasures, where could they be hidden? “After carefully observing his surroundings, Palin was unable to find any trace of the treasure, so he couldn't help but be a little skeptical,” Could the coordinates left by that person be wrong ? ”

Of course, the coordinates can't be wrong. The soul of the Ruhr, which had once befallen Sui Xion, could be considered a book that could be read at any time without any hidden information. In addition, Sui Xiong also told Gerrard all the information inside. He was even very clear about accurate treasure compositions. Then, how could the coordinates be mistaken?

“The place is here, so you have to dig into the earth. When you are about ten feet underground, you will see a magical tool. Unlocking the gear requires Ruhr's blood as proof, so at that point we have to disturb Ryan. “Gerrard selectively mentions information,” In short, let's get started. ”

Of course, they did not mind this, and the three of them started mining.

Gerrard is very strong and he is the main workforce of mining. Ryan is experienced and can help with assignments. As for Palin, she could only be in charge of the layout of the camp, so that everyone could rest well at night.

In fact, in accordance with Gerrard's original intentions, it was enough to search for his own treasures. He felt that even if he was unable to do that, he could ask His Majesty Oscar for help and did not seem to need help from others. However, Sui Xiong did not think so. He thinks that Gerrard's appearance now makes him an outcast from society and that if he doesn't work hard to develop some social relationships, he's, sooner or later he had to become an abandoned and independent hermit master. Like a giant dragon-like creature, Gerrard will also live alone in a barren land, where not even ghosts can be seen, let alone friends.

After all, humans were social creatures, so there was absolutely no pleasure in being around those creatures!

So he asked Gerrard to take Palin, who wanted to expand his vision. He also asked Gerrard to find someone to disassemble the magic gears by using excuses like “I'm very busy”. In any case, he just wished Gerrard could communicate with more people and get to know some friends.

In fact, he had thought of how to readjust Gerrard's appearance for this period of time. This bald friend, although now not bald, had a very cool appearance. Even if the problem of not having friends is not considered, such a large body also makes it difficult to find a boyfriend!

There is a witty saying on earth, “usia, income, character, and even life*** and death, etc. Can not stop love, but only physical size which is a striking disadvantage”. Gerrard's aesthetics clearly belonged to humans, so it was impossible for him to like giant or giant mountains and other large creatures. If she wants to find a boyfriend, she has to be small again or have the ability to get bigger or smaller freely.

So after a deep sleep, Sui Xiong had worked hard to learn this topic. At this moment, if one were to fly high above the ground and towards the large floating jellyfish, you could see the muscle behind the jellyfish that was constantly changing its shape.

It was Sui Xiong, experimenting and learning the method of changing shapes freely.

Sui Xiong himself could change shape. However, the speed of the shape change is not fast and the shape change in this way has certain risks. So except for him, who was not afraid of death, the others were unable to use it. From the world magic system he had seen, there should be a better, faster, and safer method of transformation.

Lately, as Gerrard and the others rushed over, Sui Xiong was engrossed in learning, trying to find this solution.

However, this immediate goal did not yield immediate results. He could only be patient and slowly explore and research it.

As dusk fell, Gerrard finally dug up the magic equipment. It was a metal plate at least five feet long with intricately carved patterns that looked dazzling. In the middle of the pattern, there is a drop-shaped groove that flows through the pattern of many blood vessels like arteries.

The correct way to unlock these teeth is to drop blood of the same heritage as Ruhr blood into a droplet-shaped groove. Then the blood would flow along the veins into the magic formation to first activate the blood identification formation. If blood could be identified, it would further activate the remaining magic formation, eventually, unlocking the teeth and opening the way to the treasure. And if it cannot be identified, then the formation will dim, and be unable to recover for subsequent identification before absorbing free negative energy throughout the night.

However, Gerrard certainly did not have the Ruhr's blood, because when Sui Xiong discovered the information in Ruhr's memory, the orc had died and his body was already hard. So the blood within the body had lost its vitality and failed to pass identification. Each blood identification formation only recognized the blood from a living body, definitely not the blood from a corpse.

So when they found the formation, the next task was on Ryan.

“Seeing very complicated, not at normal levels,” Ryan is in no hurry to get started. He watched closely for a while and praised tut-tutting, “The person who made the layout of this magic fixture must be a good master. He was not only skilled but also at an incredible magic level! ”

“In general, such a magic tool requires cooperation between a thief who makes a living through his hands and a witch who makes a living through his brain. But this equipment seems to be done by one person, which is hard to come by. To be honest, although the magic level is not high, we thieves generally cannot learn magic and this person is amazing, because he is able to reach such a level! ”

“Then, you?” Ask Gerrard.

“It didn't matter twenty years ago, but now I can't do it,” Ryan shook his head and said sadly, “At that time I learned some spells and basically I know the spells used in this industry. But I've not trained because I haven't used it for decades. ”

“Exit from training?”

“Of course, there is no master in this world who will not go out of practice. Why have many powerful adventurers become mere warriors or witches, but when they make a living roving around they can also put their opponents to the sword and cast spells using their canes? The point is, as their levels get higher and higher, there is more energy to consume in one area, and they become impractical in another aspect, “ Ryan said,” But rest assured. Although I could not make these gears, it was still possible for me to open them. After all ... destruction is always easier than building. ”

Saying this, the old thief lowered his head and dedicated himself to unlocking the gears. His movements were light and slow, and the others could barely see what he was doing. Gerrard kept watching for a while without seeing the slightest hint, so he shook his head and came back to help Palin.

The time it took to unlock the gears was longer than they expected and even when it was dark it was still not finished. So they stayed beside the treasure and then waited to continue the next day.

At night, Palin set up a magic formation around the camp that could protect the skeletal consciousness. Despite being close to the crowd of skeletal soldiers, nothing happened and they slept quietly.

The next day, the sun was good, and Ryan was also good after a good night's sleep. After breakfast, he began to work busy and by noon the good news finally came.

“It's done!” He shouted in a deep hole, “Come here, this is actually a small transmission formation.”

The three gathered in the hole, standing according to his instructions. Then he activated the unlocked magic and a faint green light was projected on their bodies.

With a slight feeling of dizziness, dark and bright in front of them. They've been sent from a hole to a cave.

The cave was unusually dark, but vaguely you could see some golden objects glittering in the distance due to the gems. The golden things were much more than they had anticipated.

This is the treasure of the orc thief, “Hand of Blood” Ruhr. This was the wealth amassed by the group of thieves that had raged four northwestern cities for several years.
