"You may think that I have ulterior motives, but if you really want to say it, you were the one who took action first." There was no way, Benjamin couldn't maintain his good-tongued attitude, and his words gradually took on the smell of gunpowder, "Those four people broke in in the middle of the night. For my exhibition, I only planted a curse on them, which is already very polite.”
"As for you, a guy who asked someone to secretly change his robes, I doubt it. Isn't it normal to have a look before entering the house? What's there to criticize?"
After saying that, Benjamin crossed his hands and looked down at the man in the wheelchair, using his "height" advantage to finally strengthen this round of contempt.
After all, he is a victim. If we really want to argue, it is impossible for the other party to take advantage of the situation.
"...I don't deny that it was my fault for secretly changing the robe." The man in the wheelchair was silent for a moment and then spoke again, "But in the end, you got the robe I specially prepared and also got these magic props. Could it be that Isn’t it enough to compensate you for your losses?”
Benjamin said confidently: "Not enough."
“…”
In this way, the whole scene reached a deadlock.
The meaning of the wheelchair man seeing off guests is obvious. He had no intention of revealing anything to Benjamin, and he had no intention of helping Benjamin. He had an expression on his face that it was best not to have any interactions with each other in the future.
But Benjamin, he was not willing to leave empty-handed.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.
"Looking at you, you should know a lot about magic props, right?" He thought for a moment and finally said, "Well, let me show you a magic prop. If you can recognize it, I will turn around and leave without lingering."
The man in the wheelchair was a little helpless, but he still nodded.
So, Benjamin took out the silver bracelet found on the masked woman.
"This is… "
At that moment, the wheelchair man finally changed his expression.
He took the bracelet, held it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and looked astonished as if he had seen a giant dragon. After watching for a while, he took out a toolbox from under the wheelchair and used a strange hammer to hit the bracelet. From time to time, he also summoned a flame to warm the bracelet.
However, a bracelet is still a bracelet, and no matter what the man in the wheelchair does to it, it remains unchanged.
When Benjamin saw this, he was also secretly happy.
The strange bracelet found on the masked woman was the strangest thing he had ever seen. Just now, when the scene was getting more and more tense, he thought of this bracelet - he could use the wheelchair man's professional curiosity to get him to take the bait.
If the other party knows this thing, at least Benjamin will get a free master-level appraisal, which is not a loss. If the other party can't recognize it... I'm sorry, this is what Benjamin wants.
In short, no matter what, he will not suffer.
"This thing...where did you get this thing?" After studying it for almost half an hour, the wheelchair man finally raised his head and looked at Benjamin with strange eyes.
"I got it from the mage organization in the border city. I killed one of them."
Benjamin didn't hide it. The four thieves also saw this scene and couldn't hide it.
"Is it them?" The man in the wheelchair was thoughtful, silent for a moment, and finally said, "This bracelet... I'm not sure, but it looks like the legendary key to the Valley of God's Abandonment."
… What did you say
Benjamin was stunned at the time.
He remembered the Valley of the Forsaken, the legendary place where Cain and Abel dueled. Before, he had obtained a treasure map of the Valley of the Abandoned Gods, but because he didn't know the specific location, it never played any role, and it was quickly forgotten.
But... is this really the key there
After coming back to his senses, Benjamin was still a little unbelievable.
In the desert, I casually eliminated an enemy who was at most an elite level, and ended up revealing the key to this world-class dungeon. No one would believe it!
"Are you serious?"
The man in the wheelchair nodded and said: "Of course it is true. Judging from the magic power inside, this bracelet has a terrifyingly long history. It may even be from thousands of years ago. I don't know why it can still work. However, this It’s something in legend, I can’t be sure.”
Benjamin took the bracelet back, looked at it twice, and said, "You really didn't bluff me? Why does a key to the Valley of God's Abandonment appear in the Eastern Desert?"
"Of course the people from Desert Shadow collected it." The man in the wheelchair asked, "Haven't you heard of that legend?"
"What legend?"
Hearing this, the man in the wheelchair shook his head helplessly, cleared his throat, and began to tell:
"According to legend, the decisive battle between Cain and Abel was so brutal that it cut the entire world in half. After that, the god came. Seeing that the world he had created was destroyed, he was very angry and crushed the two of them into ashes. Then they abandoned our world that collapsed into two halves. The ashes of the two brothers turned into endless flying sand, covering the Valley of God’s Abandonment—the cut-off edge of this world."
Benjamin frowned.
He really had never heard of such a legend.
But... if Frieden's version of the myth is like this, doesn't it mean...
What the man in the wheelchair said next was just as he imagined: "Therefore, according to legend, the end of the desert in the east is the Valley of the Abandoned Gods, and it is also the edge of the world, an endless space crack. . This is why no one has ever been able to cross that desert, and no one has ever come over there. Enter the desert and continue walking eastward, which is the endless dark abyss."
Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Putting aside those exaggerated and exaggerated legends, if the Valley of the Gods Abandoned is really in the desert, it makes sense that this bracelet, as the key to opening it, would appear in the eastern desert.
But... the end of the desert, the gap in the world. In this version, the Valley of God’s Abandonment has become such an existence, doesn’t it also become quite dangerous
If he goes over there with the treasure map and bracelet and lands in vain, he will be in a boundless abyss.
It’s quite scary to think about it…
"Are you going to leave with this bracelet?" Suddenly, the man in the wheelchair spoke, as if he had thought of something, and his tone changed very suddenly, "I can exchange it for something, anything."
Benjamin held the bracelet and looked at the other person in surprise.
what's the situation
Before, he had an attitude of exclusive patent and vowing not to sell it, but now his expression turned faster than a chameleon. The conditions were so good that Benjamin had to be suspicious.
Is there something fishy about this bracelet
"Why do you suddenly want this bracelet so much?" He put the bracelet away warily and asked.
"I have my reasons. There are some things that you can't know." The wheelchair man replied, "Don't you really want the design drawings of those magic props? I have compiled a picture album. As long as you give me the bracelet , I can lend it to you for a whole day.”
Benjamin shook his head.
The more eager the other party's attitude is, the more strange he feels and the less likely he is to hand over the bracelet to the other party.
At this moment, his attitude became firmer.
"There's no reason, don't even think about it."
Hearing this, the wheelchair man finally seemed to be a little angry: "You... you are really hopeless. If you continue like this, you will kill everyone!"
"If I don't give you the bracelet, I will kill everyone. What kind of logic is this? If you don't explain the reason clearly, don't expect me to give you anything."
The man in the wheelchair shook his head: "Why do you want to know so much?"
"I just want to know, okay?"
In this way, the two sides once again fell into a stalemate - although this stalemate was basically the opposite of the previous one.
But it doesn't matter, Benjamin is patient.
"Okay! If you really want to know, then I'll tell you." Finally, the wheelchair man seemed to lose his patience, stared at Benjamin, and said coldly, "This bracelet is very important and must not fall into the hands of others. And. You are already a dead person, you can’t keep the bracelet at all!”
