Mysterious journey

Garen's current plan is to wait until he gets the stone eye and use the excuse that it will take some time to identify it. He can at least keep it in his hands for a while, which can be regarded as a way to absorb the potential.

In order to clear away the suspicion, he took the initiative to ask Eighth to go with him to hunt down the Ninth Golden Ring, also because the other party deliberately framed him in the last moment.

No matter what, the Ninth Golden Ring must be found to eliminate the suspicion. But he also knew that even if the suspicion was cleared, No. 8 might not let him go. Perhaps his identification was a protective measure, but not safe enough.

"It's best if both of us are injured and die together!" Garen ran down quickly, a trace of evil flashed in his eyes.

The Eighth Golden Ring followed closely behind him, holding a torch with a small flame in his hand, and carefully blocked it with his cloak to prevent the fire from extinguishing. The distance between the two of them was almost one meter, and with such a little light, they could barely see the front and back clearly.

Not long after, a half-open white stone door suddenly appeared on the wall of the front staircase. Looking through the gap, it was dark inside. Waves of cool wind blew out from inside.

Garen quickly stopped and stood at the door to take a breath.

"It's the living wind! They should have left from here!"

The Eighth Golden Ring has now thought about it clearly, and clearly knows that he has been deceived. At this time, without Garonne having to say anything, he takes the lead in opening the stone door and walking in.

Garen's eyes flickered and he followed in.

Inside the stone gate was an empty, small stone chamber. The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust. On the dust, you could clearly see a dense row of footprints walking forward until they disappeared on the right wall.

The Eighth Golden Ring walked over and groped on the wall, but couldn't find the mechanism at all.

"Damn it!" He punched the wall with a bang.

"There is still wind! There must be an outlet!" Garen said calmly, "Look where the wind outlet is?"

Eighth's eyes lit up, he just didn't expect it because of his impatience. After being reminded at this time, I immediately started searching for the air outlet.

Garen stood aside and didn't move, just watching him quietly checking around.

"What is the function of that stone? Do you know about the golden ring?"

"Hey, aren't you afraid that if you know too much, you will die faster?" Ba Ba smiled strangely while groping. Suddenly he seemed to touch a mechanism and gently pressed against the wall.

With a click, a small door suddenly flipped out of the wall.

The moment the small door flipped out, a short sword stabbed the eighth golden ring silently.

clang!

The short sword and the barrel of the eighth pistol collided hard.

Eighth took a big step back, raised his gun and shot.

Bang bang bang bang!

After four consecutive shots, there was no movement in the darkness inside the small door.

"Run away, chase!" Eighth roared, but his body did not move and stood still. He just looked at Garen who was standing aside, meaning to let him go in first.

"Anyway, I'm not worried if something is lost!" Garen sneered. His strength is not as good as the two of them, and because he is injured and can only perform 80%, it is even less likely that he can beat them. If you rush in now, it's obvious that you can't adapt to that kind of dark place.

Although it is darker outside, it is not as bright as inside the small door. At least the eighth golden ring still has a torch with sparks in its hand.

For a moment, the two stood in a stalemate in the stone room. Eighth knew that he couldn't urge Galleon no matter what, but he didn't dare to rush in rashly.

"If you delay any longer, everyone will be gone!" Garen said coldly.

The Eighth Golden Ring glared at him fiercely, gritted his teeth, took out one of the two pistols, and threw it into the small door.

The pistol spun and slid into the darkness.

boom!

There was a gunshot, and a small ball of red fire suddenly exploded in the darkness, and the pistol actually exploded. At the same time, there was a faint groan, followed by some staggering footsteps.

The Eighth Golden Ring sneered and rushed in without saying a word. He used his cloak to protect his body and rushed through the flames before disappearing.

Garen did not follow. He had just seen clearly that the eighth golden ring was a shot that hit the butt of the previous pistol. The butt was actually filled with explosives and exploded with one shot, forming a small explosive bag.

When it exploded in such a small space, although the explosive force was very weak, the sound alone would make most people's ears deafened. The ninth golden ring must have been shocked.

That's why the Eighth Golden Ring had no time to deal with Galleon and rushed in to chase him. We must kill Ninth before he recovers.

Standing where he was, Garen knew that he had nothing to do. He originally meant not to get involved, but now the two people in front were fighting among themselves. Now is the time to leave.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly felt a familiar air flow slowly penetrate his skin from the air.

"This is potential?!" He looked around in shock. There was no firelight, the stone room was dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Garen slowly walked along the wall, and soon walked into the place where the potential was the strongest.

He slowly squatted down in the corner of the wall, where a small piece of black cloth was nailed to the ground, covering something on the ground.

Because it was too dark and it was in a corner, neither Eighth Eighth nor Garen could see it just now, and the potential emission was too weak, so Garen didn't pay attention just now. Now that he had calmed down, he realized that in addition to the black jade plate, there was also such potential slowly entering his body.

"Could it be?!" Garen's heart skipped a beat and he gently opened the black cloth. A white stone suddenly appeared below. The stone was like a fish-shaped human eye, lying quietly on the dark ground. Garen picked it up and touched it. Although he couldn't see clearly, he immediately knew that this was the source center of the potential. Judging from the shape, it should be the white eye stone.

"If I hadn't had the potential to help with the search, no one else would have found the things here!" Garen hurriedly picked up the white eyes and put them in his arms.

Standing up, he turned around and walked out of the entrance.

The smell of torch smoke lingered faintly in the air, and it was still very strong.

"It should be the detectives who just passed by."

Standing at the entrance of the stone gate, Garen looked back behind him, and a sneer suddenly appeared on his face.

"One deliberately framed me, and the other just wanted to kill me. Neither of them are good people. Unfortunately, if I were stronger, I could kill them! But I can't make it so easy for them."

He touched the white eye stone in his coat pocket, his eyes thoughtful. At the same time, he ran up quickly.

a few minutes later

A black shadow suddenly appeared from the small door in the stone room. The shadow did not use any lighting method, but rushed directly to the corner, lifted the black cloth on the ground and touched it with his hands.

Not finding anything, the shadow was stunned, and hurriedly touched around again, but it was still empty.

"That Kelly...!!" He gritted his teeth.

There were faint footsteps coming from behind again, and the black shadow immediately stood up and rushed out of the door quickly.

Just as he rushed out of the door, he heard a strong wind coming from the right, and a figure rushed towards him from the side.

Bang! !

The two of them separated suddenly, and the black shadow was hit hard against the door, and the entire wall shook slightly.

"Damn it!!" He continued to roll and rolled to the ground to avoid it. The stone door frame behind him was suddenly hit by the second punch with a muffled bang. A large amount of gravel fell from the wall with a crashing sound.

"The ninth golden ring, you asked for this!" Garen's voice came from the darkness. "How dare you frame this on me! Do you really think I dare not touch you?"

The Ninth Golden Ring knelt down and leaned on the handrail of the stairs to support his body. His face was pale, and red lines oozed from his ears, mouth, and nostrils, and they were all covered with thin bloodshot threads.

He didn't follow the hard qigong route to begin with. First he was injured by the eighth golden ring, and now he was hit by this sneak attack. For a moment, I felt like my stomach was churning, and my head was slightly dizzy.

"Where are the things?" he asked in a tone of pain.

"Of course it's at my place." Garen sneered, "I will hand it over to the people of the Golden Circle, which will help ease the bad relationship with the Golden Circle. It will also be handed over to the Eighth Golden Circle in a while."

"Idiot." Jiujiu suddenly forced a laugh, stood up, and was about to continue talking when he suddenly opened his mouth and vomited a large mouthful of blood.

A thick smell of blood suddenly filled the air.

At this moment, another black shadow rushed out of the stone room and landed at the door. It is the eighth golden ring.

He held a small torch with sparks in his hand, which could barely illuminate a small area around him. Under the red light of Mars, the faces of the three people seemed to be looming red.

"Is the thing really at your place?" The Eighth Golden Ring looked at Garen. "Give it to me!" He stretched out his hand.

"I can give you something, but I haven't identified it yet. I think only I can identify whether this thing is genuine or not, and it will take a long time. You should know it."

Garen did not hesitate. He knew that he could not keep this thing now. Although he was very unhappy with the other party's tone, he still raised his hand and threw the white stone eye over. The latter took it, inspected it, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's okay, I misunderstood you just now. This thing really has no meaning to you, and you have no reason to snatch it. I will probably trouble you about the appraisal in the future." The Eighth Golden Ring got the thing, and his tone suddenly softened, "Maybe there will be other things I need to trouble you with in the future. Everything in the past was all a misunderstanding."

"I just like to identify strange and weird things. In fact, I also hope that the good things you receive from Jinhuan can be identified by me." Garen directly stated his plan.

The eighth golden ring rolled his eyes.

"The organization has always attached great importance to and protected talented people! In the past, the people below were ignorant and caused you a lot of trouble. It was indeed our fault. But you also know that after all, you are on the side of Mercury in the Tower. Many people in the organization are dissatisfied with this. And if Kelly can join our Golden Circle, everything will no longer be a problem." He just tried Gallon's strength, which is indeed extraordinary. It happened that the ninth Golden Circle rebelled, and the top ten Jinhuan had to add new members, and he suddenly had an idea.

After a conversation between the two, they temporarily put aside the seriously injured Ninth Golden Ring. Jiujiu was also happy to rest for a while, as his body had already been unable to hold on for a long time.

"What good will joining the Golden Circle do to me?" Garen asked in a low voice.

"Although we are not a secret military organization, we are not a pure military organization." The Eighth Golden Circle smiled proudly, "In fact, the true nature of our Golden Circle is also known to the detectives in the tower, but I didn't tell you." He After a pause, "Kelly, you think we have power, so why do we spend so much time collecting all kinds of jewelry and antiques?"

Garen narrowed his eyes.

"Since we collect it, someone must need it."

"Then what kind of person would like such stolen antiques that are not easy to sell? To be honest, these things are just small things that are older. At most, they have some historical stories." The Eighth Golden Ring continued to prompt. .

Garen was shocked.

"It's a noble!" he blurted out.

"Correct!" The Eighth Golden Ring chuckled. "The golden ring does not represent ordinary dark forces. Our backstage is filled with high-ranking figures! Strength is only the weakest part of us, and what is truly powerful is the power! Joining us will only benefit you and not bring any harm. "

Garen felt relieved, knowing that there was no problem. Those words just now were meant for the Eighth Golden Ring. He has relatives and teachers at home, so he is not alone. Behind the scenes, whether it is the Manleyton Company or the teacher Fei Baiyun's status and influence, although Jin Huan is not afraid, he will not provoke him for no reason. As long as there is no conflict of interest, everything will be easy. .

"No wonder the detective has always had trouble with you. It turns out that the influence of the golden ring is so strong!" He murmured.

"We happen to need an expert appraiser who can identify ancient and rare things. This is your chance!" The Eighth Golden Ring is more and more satisfied with his idea. Regardless of Garen's strength, background, and talents, he is What the organization needs. As long as he can be brought in, the previous minor conflict can be easily resolved. Aren't they just going to kill a few people? It’s not like the top 20 gold rings, the ones in the following rankings can get as much as they want! These days, professional and rare talents are the most important resource.
