"Treasure?"
Liszt became excited when he heard it.
Immediately called Costo who was waiting in the castle: "What treasure?"
"My lord, it's the navigation route of an island. I found a cave not far from the pier during the trial voyage of the Flower. There were human corpses in it. After inspection, I found that it was a group of rats that sold horses, trapped in the They died in the cave, and before they died, they left the place where they traded horses, on that island!"
Horse dealer
Liszt quickly thought of the smog mission—the trail of Lilong Maqun.
He gave up his plan to continue studying Dou Sen's release of new magic, and immediately said: "Take me to the cave, I want to check it out myself!" During the preparations for departure, he took the opportunity to summon the smoke mission and found that the smoke mission had changed.
"Complete the task and reward the trail of Lilong Maqun."
"Mission: The monsters have been wiped out. Huahua Town has never been so safe. As a lord, it's time to do a big job to achieve leapfrog development for Huahua Town. What's the harm in destroying the environment? Please flatten the thorn forest. Reward: Variation Breed thorns."
The monsters were completely wiped out.
The thorn worm chain mission is also reconnected.
Liszt felt that today is really a festive day, only the magpies were chirping on the branches. And soon, he understood how the mission was accomplished—the squire, Xiao En, brought a dead shadow snake to the castle. This shadow snake killed three serfs.
"The logging site was once chaotic, but under the suppression of Mr. Marcus, Advisor Galtai and other adults, the serfs started logging again." Xiao En reported the scene at that time.
The burning fire did not scare away the Shadow Snake.
It raided three serfs one after another, and was finally shot dead by Marcus with a bow and arrow. Afterwards, the serfs panicked. Although they were suppressed, their work efficiency inevitably fluctuated.
"Sean, tell Teacher Marcus to continue to strengthen the protection of the logging team." Although the monsters have been wiped out, Liszt can't tell others clearly, so he can only continue to strengthen protection." For the lost serf, give ten silver coins to his family."
At this time, silver coins were the best way to comfort them, and also the best way to stimulate the serfs to work hard—more convincing than any threats or words of encouragement.
"Yes, my lord!" Sean took the order and left.
Liszt put on his Warcraft leather armor, brought Thomas, his personal servant, and Roma Wine Barrel who was notified to come to serve as his squire—how could the lord go out without his squire.
"Your lord, in fact, you can reach the cave by land, but you need to climb over the mountains and climb a steep cliff. Taking the flower ship is the most convenient."
Costo bowed to Liszt and began to command the Flower to set sail.
Harness anchor, paddle, hoist sail.
Turned around and sailed slowly on the sea. I had a sailing trip. The performance of the young sailors was not bad. Compared with the previous speed, the speed was greatly improved. It only took about 20 minutes to arrive near the cave. Putting down the canoe, Costo led Liszt and the others into the cave.
The cave is very humid, and it is almost level with the high tide sea, so the sea water will be pushed in by the waves from time to time.
But further inward, it is dry.
It was afternoon at this time, and the setting sun had already passed over the mountains, and the sunlight could no longer shine in, making the cave appear a bit dark. Thomas lit the candle lamps that had been prepared early to add light to the cave.
"My lord, here is the wreck of a small boat. Judging from its shape, it should be a feeder boat carried by the big ship. It was continuously washed by the sea, and only a little plank was left." Costo turned the wreck of the boat over, and the wreck directly Broken, sawdust scattered all over the place.
Then, he walked to several sets of bones: "There are three sets of human corpses. I have checked them, and they are still in good condition. There are not too many bones missing. They carry weapons. They are bone swords. The bones are very hard, but they are not knight swords." Styling, so they should be a bunch of rats."
A knight, as the name suggests, is a warrior on horseback.
Knights are the main force of war and the composition of the army. The war between lords is the charge between knights. However, not all those who practice Dou Qi choose to become a knight—a knight is a product of the aristocratic system, and there are still some people who choose to dissociate from the aristocratic system.
These people are smugglers, marginalized people, and despicable classes.
They do not obey the management of the lord, do not engage in production, are free and loose, and engage in industries that violate the aristocratic system-stealing, robbery, smuggling, pimping, or accepting employment, assassination, and slave trading.
These people, of course, are called-rats.
But they call themselves - Rangers.
"A mouse." Liszt didn't feel much touched. He was no stranger to mice. He cooperated with Levi's in the slave trade, so he had to cooperate with mice.
The nobles denounced and belittled this group of people as mice, but it did not prevent them from cooperating with mice. After all, there are many dirty tricks, and nobles can't do it themselves, so they need mice to come forward. The pirates that haunt the Grand Duchy of Sapphire are also rats—basically nobles in disguise.
Or.
Rats are another piece of skin for nobles—ordinary people don't have that much nutrition to cultivate grudges, and only nobles can raise rats.
Lister believes that the tulip family also has its own mice.
As the second son of the earl, he has no right to know.
"Are there more things that show their identities preserved?" Liszt picked up a bone sword and asked.
This bone sword should be forged from the bones of a monster. Its shape is relatively curved, which is completely different from the length and straightness of a knight's sword. It is more suitable for short-distance combat.
Due to the long-term corrosion of nature, the bone sword has long since lost any trace of magic power.
"Their clothes and packages have decayed a long time ago, and the humidity here is so high that they can't be preserved at all. Only the snake inscriptions carved on the walls remain." Costo said, pointing to the cave wall.
Thomas moved the candle light fixture closer.
Illuminate the serpentine on the cave wall.
The serpent script has been blurred and divided into two sections, only part of which can be discerned.
"I was □badly wounded and □dead, Sweet □insider... eyeliner, Green Light □□scuttled□,□□ took the horse, but he underestimated me and □□□killed.□Go Not out □□□, □□□ steep, the letter on the horse... back, you can come."
"Jun□□□Island□Nautical Chart... My family, tell Molly□I love her—Kaspar Iron□."
Among them, "□" means that a single snake script cannot be read clearly, while "..." means that a whole paragraph of snake script cannot be read clearly.
Even guessing, I can barely guess the content of these two paragraphs.
After pondering for a while, Liszt figured out a general idea—there was an insider among the horse dealers, who seemed to be called Sweet, who scuttled the big ship and wanted to take away the horses. As a result, Casper fought back, but Casper was seriously injured. Before he died, he sent the horse away and tied a letter to the horse's back.
Then left the nautical chart.
Comparing the rewards given by the smog mission, Liszt already understood: "Obviously, these mice have found the island where the Lilong horses live. They should be the mice working for the Tulip family... My Lilong horse is the one that was killed The steed Caspar sent away!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his gaze to a pair of nautical charts next to the Serpentine.
The engraving marks on the nautical chart are very deep. It is obvious that Casper used a lot of effort when he carved it. Even though the serpentine text next to it is almost corroded and can't be read clearly, the nautical chart is still clear.
