Cthulhu Gonfalons
Chapter 29
No one could have expected that the Ruhr actually saved so much money.
Although, over a long distance it can not be seen how much money there is, you can see that it is not a small pile of money seen from the light of the gem.
The pile formed by the sparkling gold coins.
“I never thought ... gold coins can also be classified with ‘tumpun’,” muttered Palin, staring at the money.
“This guy must have swallowed most of the money he had taken,” Gerrard said.
Ryan was the calmest of the three. Perhaps due to his professional habits as a thief, he immediately turned his head away from the pile of gold coins and looked at the land nearby.
Then he took out a magic wand used for lighting.
This simple magic product can provide a stable long-term cold light source, which does not breathe air or cause suffocation nor is it exposed to water. Except for its rather high price, it was almost considered the perfect lighting tool for adventurers.
Under the somewhat bluish cold light source, the old thief carefully inspected the ground and quickly found some traps.
Yes, some traps, and there will be more ahead.
“Ruhr” Bloody Hand “ really cruel! After locking the entrance to the treasure with the magic formation, he also set up a trap inside the treasure place! “Gerrard angrily said,” Wicked! Too evil! ”
“It is not strange that many treasure hoarders have this problem,” Ryan said, indifferently, “When I take adventures, I find a total of a hundred traps in place of the Necromancer to hoard treasures.”
This statement astonished Gerrard and Palin.
There were actually a hundred traps in the treasure hoarding place ?! If so many traps were activated, not to mention one's life, not even a body would be left!
“What happened then?” Palin asked.
“Only two teammates died and traps were dismantled,” Ryan said, still indifferent, “We split the money, and I retired.”
The discussion gets cold. Instead of rushing to dismantle the trap in front of him, Ryan fixed the magic wand on the wall next to him and turned to look for something where they were moved.
“What are you looking for?” Ask Gerrard.
“Completeness to go from here,” Ryan said, do not lift his head, “Infuse and exit here must be achieved through transmission magic. First of all let's find a gear to go from here and make sure it can be activated at any time. We may still have time to escape in case of an incident. ”
The rich experience of the old adventurer made the two respect him. However, they were somewhat embarrassed, with a trap ahead and no way out, they could only stay in this small area.
Palin is fine. He took out a book and read it with the help of a stable and gentle cold light from the magic wand. Gerrard felt uncomfortable, he had such a large body that his place was very narrow to stand. But he couldn't move, it was a bit embarrassing.
He wanted to take the axe and break some of the surrounding stones, but he was afraid that the stones would collapse and bury everyone alive. He finally had no choice but to sit down, holding his knees. And then he quickly started to yawn.
As time went on, Ryan was still working regularly. Palin finished reading the book, put it back in her backpack, and took out the others with magic. As he read carefully, he used his fingers to draw magic lines in the air and did some basic research.
As for Gerrard, he fell asleep because he was too bored.
No one knew how much time had passed, but suddenly the green light flashed. Ryan exclaimed loudly, but his body was covered by green lights and disappeared in an instant without leaving a trace. Then the transmission magic formation that had befallen him for so long flared up powerfully before exploding. There was also a deep red colored gas that rose and spread in the blink of an eye, enveloping Gerrard and Palin.
Gerrard, while sleeping, inhaled a lot of toxic gas which made him suddenly cough violently, suddenly strangled him and woke him up. He opened his eyes and saw that in the cold light the magic wand of Palin was curled up on the ground with a face of pain. He had scratched his throat with his hand, making his throat bleed which did not help his predicament.
This young witch, a teenager who loved to read, died.
Gerrard was stunned for a moment. He turned around and looked for Ryan, but found no trace of the old thief.
“What is going on? Where's Ryan? Trap again .. ”
Poisonous gas filled his trachea and lungs, so he could not help coughing. An uncomfortable, non-violent feeling interrupts his mind and spreads from the nose and mouth to the throat, then to the trachea and alveoli.
Surviving the extremely dangerous gas and living now without being fatally injured again showed the superiority of the powerful body made by Sui Xiong himself. However, Gerrard did not think about it at the time. His mind was filled with doubt and anger, he was even more confused and had no idea what was happening.
“Yang Mulia ..” He tried to pray but did not know what to pray for.
As he prayed, Sui Xiong, who had concentrated on research, woke up. Soul hints spread along the bone bracelet and he clearly saw the situation there.
“What is going on? Aren't they going to hunt for treasure? Why is only one of the three left? One dead man and one dead man without leaving a corpse? ”
When he spoke to himself, he pushed the magic into a dime and spread poisonous gas.
“Dirt! I even found fog on space travel. The protection of the world's environment is undoubtedly a sacred thing! ”Sui Xiong muttered and made a detailed analysis of the composition of the harmful mist. Then his magic suddenly shook and turned into a soft green circle of light that slowly spread out.
The power of the green light only compensated for the magic power of the dangerous mist. Wherever the green light arrived, the red poisonous gas disappeared.
Like a magic show, a circle of green lights swept through the treasure cave and the red poisonous gas disappeared without a trace as if it had never existed.
“Gerrard, what happened?”
“Your Majesty, I ... I also do not know ..” Gerrard said nervously, “I just went to bed and like this after I woke up.”
“... You fell asleep while on a treasure hunt. You are not wise! ”Sui sighed,“ Then I should ask someone else. ”
“There are others to ask?” Gerrard surprised.
A mysterious black gas emitted from the bone bracelet that was slowly dispersed in the air. The gloomy atmosphere of obscurity spread out, making one feel mentally heavy.
A moment later, many small light spots emerged from Palin's dead body, slowly gathering into an indistinct human figure.
“Your Majesty, is this the spirit of Palin?”
“No, it's just a thought left in the body,” said Sui Xiong, “His soul has gone to the kingdom of the dead, but the memory is not only in the soul but also in the body. Now I activate the rest of the mind of the body and then resurrect it. So...”
“Will he be resurrected?” Gerrard asked excitedly.
Sui Hung hesitated, not knowing what to answer.
If on earth, the human body regains its vitality, its mind will be revived, and of course, it will be resurrected. Even in the presence of the Nobel Prize in medical science, he also dared to raise his head to declare it.
But in this world, life is not only a matter of the mortal body but also the soul is more important. Palin's soul has gone to the underworld. Unless he withdraws the soul from the underworld and puts it back into the resuscitated body, that body cannot be considered “ resurrected”.
Now Palin, in fact, is actually a soulless corpse.
As the fuzzy figure slowly condensed, Sui Xiong maneuvered the green light to envelop the remains of the dead teenager. The wounds all over the body quickly disappeared and he completely recovered his health. A stronger life exploded from the body so that the pale cheeks restored an optimistic complexion.
An invisible force captures the human form formed by the remaining thoughts and falls into the body.
In the next moment, the teenager opened his eyes.
At first, his eyes were a bit confused. After a while, his eyes slowly restored focus and his mind slowly became clearer.
“Am I not ... dead?” He hesitated, “I remember .. I was killed by a cloud of death ..”
“You are dead, but also resurrected,” Gerrard said with a smile. “Things like life and death are not considered by us mortal men. Tell me what happened first. ”
So Palin gave up thinking about some philosophical problems and fell into memory.
“I read when suddenly I heard Ryan exclaim. I then looked up, just saw him being chased away, then saw a trap erupt, and a red cloud of death seeped in. I had no time to escape and was covered by a cloud of death. I felt very sore from throat to chest and then I lost consciousness – until awakening. ”
“So, did the accident happen to Ryan when he unlocked the trap?” Gerrard muttered, “You don't know what happened to him .. I hope he's okay.”
This time, Sui sneered.
“Don't worry, he's fine, he's very good now!”
The blue light was projected from the bone bracelet and transformed into a transparent screen in the air. The screen showed the forest landscape where the treasure was hidden.
Ryan was busy shoveling the ground into the hole Gerrard dug. Sui Xiong gave a close-up of his face: smiling, triumphant.
His expression showed what had happened without careful explanation or consideration.
“Damn it!” Gerrard roared furiously, “This cruel old thief! I will not forgive him! ”
“It turns out ... he planned against us ..” Palin shook his head in disbelief, “Why did he do this? Is it for the sake of the entire treasure? ”
“Why is he doing this? Continue and we will know, “su Xiong's voice echoed in the air,” Let's put aside our anger and see what this despicable old man wants to do. ”
“I believe all antecedents and consequences will appear before us soon ..”
