"Magic Ryan." A voice interrupted Ryan's longing for his lover. Ryan lowered his head and saw Tedion sitting opposite the bonfire, looking at him with a pair of bright eyes. Ryan was stunned. He looked left and right, but did not find Daphne. Tedion guessed Ryan's thoughts, and he lowered his voice and said: "Daphne went to rest, and now it's my turn to keep vigil."

Ryan nodded. He slowly suppressed his inner joy and calmed down his emotions. Ryan even blamed himself a little for being too involved and didn't even notice that they were changing shifts to keep watch.

Tedion's eyes were fixed on the scroll in Ryan's hand, and he said with some envy: "Oh my God, you can actually make magic scrolls. That's really amazing. You magicians are a group of mysterious and awe-inspiring people." people."

Ryan looked at the scroll in his hand, then looked at Tedion's envious face, and smiled slightly. He saw the desire for magic from Tedion's slightly childish face, and the look in his eyes was similar to his own. Exactly the same as when. Waves of warmth surged in Ryan's heart. If it hadn't been for the teachings of Mr. Ghalib and Mr. Delanai, he would have become a young mercenary just like Tedain in front of him. Current strength and experience.

Ryan thought for a moment. He originally had the idea of giving the first magic missile scroll he made to Faras as a souvenir, so Ryan lowered his head and picked out one of the four scrolls he made later. Okay, then threw it to Tedain: "Give it to you!"

Tedion caught the scroll and kept stroking it, but he said: "This, how good is this..." Ryan put his index finger to his mouth, made a silent gesture, and then lowered his voice and said: " This is a secret between the two of us."

An excited smile appeared on Tedain's face, and he lowered his voice and said, "Thank you, Magician Ryan."

Ryan smiled at Tedain, turned and walked towards his tent.

A group of people walked through the woods, Daphne walked far ahead of the group, searching forward. About thirty meters later, Berry, bow and arrow in hand, walked along where Daphne had walked. Behind Bury, Mark was carrying a large baggage, which he needed for this adventure. Dennis, Ryan, and Allendo followed closely behind Mark, while Tedion walked vigilantly at the back of the team.

The Six Arrows Mercenary Group has been heading southwest in the past few days, and today it entered a large forest. The light shone through the gaps in the shade of the trees and became much dimmer. When the light that penetrated the shade of the trees reached the brightest point of the day, a group of seven people from the Six Arrows mercenary group came to the edge of a ruins.

Berry signaled everyone to take a rest first, so Tedain found an open space on the edge of the ruins and lit a bonfire. Everyone sat down around the bonfire, while Daphne walked into the depths of the forest alone.

Berry waited for everyone to take a short break. He coughed and then solemnly told everyone: "This is our destination. After we have lunch, we will open the door to the tomb."

"Is this right here?" Ryan asked, "It looks quite dilapidated. Is that famous king buried here?"

Bury nodded and explained: "When we first received this task, we did not set off immediately. Instead, we spent a lot of effort to check the information left over from that year. The famous king began to build it before he was alive. There are six of them in total, which are well documented, and they are located in different places in his vast territory. Of course, many people will covet the treasures he buried with him, but unfortunately those six tombs are all fake, and gradually there will be no more. People don’t think twice.”

"When our client found me, let me tell you, my first thought was, 'Another guy who is crazy about getting rich.' But he actually produced a very detailed map with marked It was here that we also provided items to open the tomb. We were hesitant, but considering the objective reward, we agreed to give it a try. Unfortunately, we were not fully prepared that time and we lost two teammates."

Having said this, Berry and others lowered their heads together. Ryan also felt sad for the dead companions of the Six Arrows Mercenary Group, and lowered his heads together with Alando and Dennis.

Bury's words interrupted the sad atmosphere: "But we found a lot of things inside, which prove that there is a high possibility that this is the tomb of the famous king, such as the murals on the walls and many powerful traps. , and this." Bury took out a brilliant ruby the size of a thumb from his arms: "This is a very precious gem. If it is put at the auction house, it can be sold for more than 5,000 gold coins. I There is no need for the client to deceive us with such a precious thing, right? The price would be too high."

Ryan and others nodded. Although Ryan and Alando were not very familiar with these things, they still saw a lot of precious things after staying at Farasi's home for a while. Ryan remembered that Faras also had such a headdress, and it was inlaid with a ruby about the same size as this one.

"Excuse me!" Pastor Dennis asked Bury: "How did you get this gem? Can you explain the process in detail?"

Bury hesitated for a moment. He saw that Daphne had not returned yet, so he whispered: "One of our previous companions saw a statue of a monster, and the monster's eyes were two rubies of this size. He rushed in rashly. He went up and dug out one. As a result, the mechanism was triggered, and Daphne's lover died trying to save him."

"So, please don't be angry, Magician Ryan. Daphne lost her lover because of the reckless behavior of her companion, so she is a little emotionally unstable." After passing Bury's explanation, Ryan understood why Daphne looked at I was very unfriendly, probably because I was too young, and the female thief named Daphne thought that she would be very reckless.

Dennis didn't care about the matter between Daphne and Ryan. Seeing that Bury had reached the most important point but stopped again, he asked: "What kind of mechanism is it? Can you explain it in detail? This is very important!"

Berry's eyes showed a hint of fear, and then disappeared: "It's a monster! That monster statue is alive!"

"Alive?"

"Yes, Pastor Dennis. This sounds absurd, but it is what we saw with our own eyes. The statue suddenly moved and grabbed Bob. Bob screamed in pain, so Angus desperately He rushed forward and stabbed the monster in the eyes with the long sword in his hand, but the monster was very flexible. It dropped Bob and blocked Angus' attack with its wings."
