Don’t Mess with the Dark Princess

  Chapter 1099 The true identity of the man in black (2)

The mysterious man continued: "A few years ago, I accidentally discovered a treasure map, which marked the location of this ancient relic, the timing of its appearance, and the method of crossing Stonehenge. I found out that I couldn’t open the bronze door engraved with the phoenix totem. In order to open this door, I have been thinking for a long time, until later..."

  He paused, as if thinking about what to say.

"Later, you entered Xingyao Academy, and I found that you are very talented in refining weapons, and may be able to help me open this door, so I followed you... You see, this is also a huge challenge for you. Given the opportunity, if you can cooperate with me to open this door and let me enter the tower, I will give you a share of the mysterious medicines, natural treasures and treasures in it! What do you think?"

   While talking, he threw out a lot of tempting baits, and began to persuade Huang Yueli to cooperate with him.

  Huang Yueli pretended to be ignorant, and asked, "Really? If you help me a little bit, there are actually such benefits? In the ancient ruins, if there is a random treasure, it is a top treasure!"

"Isn't it!" The mysterious man thought she had been shaken, and quickly continued to persuade: "I want your help. It's actually very simple. You only need to pay a little, and you can get the treasures in the ancient ruins! Such a good thing, After passing this village, there will be no such shop!"

Huang Yueli frowned, and asked: "I'm so moved... But, I still can't figure it out, I'm just an ordinary student of Xingyao Academy, even if I know a little about weapon refining, this ancient mechanism, I don't understand anything, what can I help you with? Do you think too highly of me?"

   "It's okay, it's okay!" The mysterious man hurriedly said: "The thing is very simple, but only a genius refiner like you can complete it!"

   "Papa papa!"

  As soon as the mysterious man finished speaking, Huang Yueli couldn't help clapping her hands loudly.

  The mysterious man was taken aback.

Huang Yueli said: "You made it up quite decently, but didn't you think I was a little too stupid? Your words were full of loopholes, and you thought I would believe them? The treasure map that was discovered by accident was recorded. The location of the ancient ruins? Where can I find such a treasure map? Give me a hundred! How many times have you tried to kidnap me here, just to let me open the door for you with the art of refining? Are you lying to a child?"

  The mysterious man was exposed by her on the spot, and his face suddenly sank, but he refused to admit it.

   "What? Do you think I lied to you? I'm telling the truth! I sincerely want to cooperate with you, so I tell you what I know. You don't want to toast or eat fine wine!"

Huang Yueli said indifferently: "What you said is indeed the truth, it's just...a little bit of a key change. The treasure map should be true, but it's impossible for you to discover it by accident. I opened it in the Buddhist scriptures pavilion last time. After opening the secret compartment left by my father, I was immediately hunted down by you. These two things must be related. Your treasure map...should be to find a way to open my father's secret compartment, and from inside Take it out!"

"you…"

  The mysterious man was tongue-tied.

  He thought that what he said just now was already cryptic enough, but unexpectedly, Huang Yueli caught the loophole, and revealed the truth in a few words.
