Werewolf hunting rules

After all, Clayton was a foreigner. Although he had lived in Sasha City for several years, he was focused on contacting clients in other areas. He was not familiar with the history of this land. He only knew about the history of this area. The city was originally built around the Cathedral of the White Curtain - also known to travelers as the Cathedral of Twilight.

In order to provide the clergy with daily necessities, a market appeared around the church, which then slowly expanded into a large settlement.

But why such a large church had to be built in a wild area with inconvenient transportation, Clayton really didn't know yet.

He was honest about this.

Schmidt had already expected this, because the southern accents of the antique dealer and his daughter already indicated that they had not been in this area for a long time.

"Then you know the Dinon people, right?"

Clayton nodded. He had received higher education, so it was impossible for him not to know this name.

In the long past, the largest ethnic group on this land was the Dinon people. However, the ancient first "empire" of Mansis suddenly decided to march westward one day, and the army invaded the land of the Dinon people. When the war was raging, a large number of Natural disasters suddenly broke out on this land, not only swallowing up many invaders, but also destroying the indigenous people without discrimination.

The surviving Dinon people had to migrate from their homeland. They went to places now known as "Taunton" and "Mirenti", but their numbers are now very small.

"Very good, it seems I don't need to start from the beginning." Schmidt continued: "Since you know the Dinong people, you should also know about them leaving this land. At that time, not only were there wars, but also various It was a natural disaster, but the gods of the Dinon people did not bless them, and their people suffered heavy casualties. So they decided to leave their unblessed homeland and escape to rebuild this kingdom elsewhere."

He knocked on the table again: "This is an important point, because they cannot build a new kingdom empty-handed. They took a lot of wealth with them when they left their homeland, and a group of high-ranking people set out from here by ship. of."

"Their boat capsized here? And all the gold sank into the water?" Donna guessed.

As navigation and colonial undertakings flourished, publishing houses sold more and more adventure novels, and young girls were also deeply affected.

Schmidt coughed: "That's not the reason, but the treasures should indeed be in the water. At that time, a Dinon general named Emperor Jetali led his fleet to set out here. History records that this The operation did not go smoothly. As they were setting off, the Nidalee River suddenly became violent and swept four soldiers into the river. Emperor Jetali was furious and ordered his men to drain this section of the river - "

Having said this, he glanced at Donna: "This was obviously something that only wizards could do at that time."

Donna felt the pressure.

“They did this as a punishment for the river, and then they drained the water back, and the storm calmed down.” Schmidt finished telling the story and waited for someone to respond.

Julius frowned: "You mean, this is just a lie, and they actually used this opportunity to hide treasures that cannot be taken away under the water, so that they can come back and take them out after the disaster subsides?"

Goatee corrected him: "Not just at the bottom of the water, but deeper in the soil and rocks, otherwise the current may wash away the treasures. This rumor is absolutely true, because someone has already found part of the treasure. A few years ago, A century ago, someone picked up gold coins of that era by the river. This discovery excited the explorers at that time, and many people came here to hunt for treasures. Although most people found nothing in the end, they did not choose to leave."

"And the descendants of these people stayed here to form this town called Gevaux, which is my ancestor. As for the White Curtain Cathedral, I thought it was also established by the church for the same purpose, but it was older than ancient."

"Just in the last century, there was a powerful team of treasure hunters who investigated this legendary treasure. However, they believed that the treasure was buried close to the city, so they tried to blow up the embankments and block the river. Then we excavated the river bottom mud in a relatively stable environment, and the traces still remain.”

Clayton and the others looked at each other.

They were not without surprise, but if what Schmidt said was true, then they should have had a more powerful helper.

None of the people here are better at underwater operations than the Water Fairy.

pity

Goatee sighed: "But, now I am the only old man who still believes in the authenticity of this treasure, so generally speaking, there will not be any other competitors here. We only need to take adequate confidentiality measures to ensure The treasure belongs only to us.”

"Then we have to find the treasure first." Clayton reminded him ruthlessly.

"Mr. Schmidt, you just said that this legend happened a long time ago. The treasure was buried dozens of centuries ago, and there were countless treasure hunters in the past. I believe they should have tried all possibilities. , maybe the treasure has been secretly obtained by someone with ideas like yours one day, so people who came later couldn't find anything."

Schmidt looked at the antique dealer blankly: "Do you want to get rich?"

"Yes, but I also have my own job. My daughter will go to school next year. The time has been booked with the college, so I can't waste too much time here unless there is some evidence to prove that the treasure still exists here. , I can consider delaying this plan."

"Witches also have to go to school?"

Schmidt was so surprised that he turned to look at Donna, who covered her face in sadness.

"If you could dig out treasure, would you still consider these things?"

These words really spoke to Donna's heart, and she looked at Clayton with pleading eyes. However, his uncle was indifferent to this offensive.

"I sent her to school to make her smarter, not to make her rich, so she must go to school."

Clayton's words won the favor of the old hunter. He nodded slightly in agreement, then turned around and went to the room, and came out after a while holding a stone.

"I think this thing should prove that the treasure still exists here. This is what I found two months ago. It was lying on the edge of the swamp, covered in mud, with only a faint light emitting in the sunlight. "

He put the stone on the table. It was a mixed purple and yellow stone with many crystal particles growing from the inside out.

"Is this raw gemstone?"

Clayton immediately had a headache. He had previously wanted to be a jeweler, which was more prestigious than a rare dealer and made it easier to integrate into the upper class. But he only tried a few transactions and soon discovered that he did not have the talent to make this money. If it were not for the help of his friends, he would probably be defrauded of all his money.

As soon as he saw the raw gemstone, he felt that he was going to be deceived.

Goatee was oblivious to his concerns and just rubbed the stone carefully: "Yes, this stone cannot grow naturally in this land. I went to the city to consult an appraiser, and they said it was a more mature stone." It’s a gem that can only be produced in the southern region.”

"Honarat, the name of this gem is Honarat."

Julius suddenly spoke, his eyes wandering among the light of those tiny gems.

"Mr. Schmidt is right. This is indeed not something that can be produced locally. Only on the edge of volcanoes and in areas where lava condenses can such gems be produced. From the Golden Age to the Silver Age, gems were used as much as gold. As currency, the raw ore was equally valuable. I thought this treasure might indeed exist."

The wizard became excited when he recognized the gem. Although he hadn't taken the initiative to speak, his eyes had revealed his uncontrollable greed.

Donna also had a "gotta get it" look on her face, even though she had no idea about money.

"Finally someone who knows the stuff."

Hearing Julius's affirmation, Goatee said happily, "Although this is not gold, it is equally expensive, and it is not easy to attract attention when selling."

Looking back and seeing his companion's expression, Clayton finally relented: "If the treasure contains all these raw minerals, I have a way to get them a reasonable birth certificate. But we can only stay here until the end of the month, this is the bottom line. "

To be honest, a lot of the money from the Presbyterian Church has been used up to pay off debts, and wealth still has a certain temptation for him.

Both companions want to go treasure hunting, and he can't always be the spoiler.

Besides, he was originally going to stay here for two weeks because of business - after the acquisition, he needed some manpower to drag the goods to the city properly and intact, but horses in the town died more frequently recently, and he was worried that both of his After a few weeks, he still failed to do so. As a result, this month's accounts will be unable to make ends meet.

Although staying an extra half week went against his original plan, it didn't do any harm.

Schmidt pounded the table: "Very good, with your guarantee, we will have nothing missing now. Regarding the research on Emperor Jetali's treasure, I still have some information here, which I obtained from the city." You can try to use witchcraft to decipher these clues. You only need to be responsible for investigating the clues in the water. I and other helpers I invited will be responsible for the swamp part, which also belongs to the river during the peak season. . We have been working for a while and will be able to help you when this part is over."

Hearing what he said, Clayton suddenly thought of something and his expression changed, but he still settled the matter in person with him.

After they left Schmidt's house and walked some distance away, Clayton whispered to the other two people: "Be careful of Schmidt's every move. We can do what he said first, but wait until the local priest comes back." , we will go back to the city immediately."

I recommend a book called "The Food of the Immortal Lord". The author has a profound writing style and the words are very chivalrous.
