Chapter 179 Scholar Gelbo

ps: The third update is over, please continue to ask for support

The table top was cleaned up very clean, even the thin gold covering the edge of the table was rubbed so that it was shining brightly, and it could almost reflect people's shadows.

At this time, there was nothing else on the table except a large sheet of white paper unfolded.If you take a closer look, you will find that it is a badly damaged map spread out in front of you.

The age of the map seems to be a bit old. The material used to draw the map is neither paper nor metal. Some fuzzy graphics can be barely seen on the light brown background, and part of the "Star Twilight" can be vaguely seen on the edge. Although the second half of the wording has been destroyed, anyone who is a little familiar with the surrounding geography can easily tell that the city with only a small half left on the edge of the map is Xingmu City.

Seeing that Gelbo's eyes fell on the map, Li Xu's face was overjoyed, and he immediately stood up from the sofa while supporting the armrest, and one or several rings inlaid with gemstones on his fat finger hit the metal armrest There was a sudden "pop" sound, which was very ear-piercing in a silent room.

But the attention of the three people present was obviously focused on more important things.

"The tools and materials needed to restore the map are all here, and even the corresponding historical books are all here," Li Xu pointed to the tall bookshelves around the room, looked at Gelbo who stood there motionless, and said very Sincerely, "Aren't you a scholar? As long as you restore this map to its original appearance, all these books can be yours. Most of them are orphans!"

Gelbo didn't look at the surrounding bookshelves.Because he knew that the fat man in front of him was telling the truth.During the period when he came here, Gelbo was very leisurely, and he did not miss the books here.

The book is a good book, but it's a pity that it didn't fall into the right hands. [

Thinking of this, Gelbo raised his head and looked at the culprit in front of him who had kidnapped him here, shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Li Xu, you bought this map fragment at the grocery store on Bridal Street. Yes."

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Gelbo said to himself again, "This thing is a relic from ancient times, and it is not easy to survive to this day. It is a good thing to be able to see the sun again. But..."

The leading businessman in Xingmu City was also staring at Gelbo earnestly, but when the other party spoke, Li Xu's face turned dark, because Li Xu had already guessed what Gelbo was going to say.

"But you killed the owner of the grocery store. The customers who were present at the time were also assassinated one by one. You even set fire to the grocery store. It also burned down dozens of nearby houses. I'm right, right?"

Gelbo didn't seem to notice Lish's expression.The tone of his speech was unusually calm, but he looked at Li Xu with a meaning that only the person concerned could understand.

"Just for such a map? For such a broken record left by the dwarves, how many people have you killed?"

"Hehe, it really is the master. You can tell that it belongs to the dwarves after just a few glances," Gelbo's question made Li Xu laugh out loud, but the laughter was full of coldness, obviously Li Xu's mood Not as good as he puts it, "So can you see what's marked on this map made by some dwarf?".

"Hahahaha~" Seeing Gelbo shook his head loudly, Li Xu laughed triumphantly, and the fat on his face and body trembled with his laughter, "This is the role of the family, My esteemed Gelbert Scholar."

"There is a prophecy mentioned in my ancestor's diary, or it is more appropriate to say that it is a secret. There is a huge treasure hidden somewhere in the Dragon Coast, which is unimaginable for ordinary people. The wealth contained in the treasure is enough to change the lives of everyone in the Dragon Coast. .and this map is part of that secret."

"The location recorded on the map is the location of a mine," Li Xu said more and more excitedly, as if he didn't care about these secrets being known by Gelbo, "it's near Xingmu City."

Gelbo looked at Li Xu's big face that was a little red from excitement, and said without a trace of emotion, "I'm afraid the mineral deposits that can make people so crazy are not just ordinary copper-iron mines~"

"You are so wise." Li Xu didn't care about the old man's sarcasm, lowered his head, and gently stroked the uneven map surface on the table with his hand, "It's Mithril."

Gelbo's pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't keep calm when he looked at Li Xu.Li Xu seemed to enjoy Gelbo's gaze very much, and laughed even more wildly. Finally, he simply sat back on the sofa and continued to laugh with his head up.

Soon, as Li Xu's laughter gradually weakened, silence fell in the room again, and the sound of fighting under the castle also came in.

Li Xu waved his hand, and the masked man, who might not have made a sound, walked towards the entrance, apparently wanting to see how the battle was going downstairs, while Li Xu stared at Gelbo, who had regained his indifferent expression, Shen Sheng asked: "If you can promise me, the people outside today don't have to die, and those in the dungeon can go home as soon as possible, how about it?" [

Gelbo sighed, looked up at Li Xu, and slowly sat back on his seat, "If I promise you, more people will die in the future."

"Okay! Then you will witness the death of these civilians with your own eyes!"

As soon as Li Xu spoke harshly, he felt the stone floor under his feet shake twice, followed by a rumbling sound coming from under his feet. Before Li Xu and Gelbo, who were sitting on the chairs, had time to react, A burst of fire has already rushed out from the cracked hole in the ground.

A deafening explosion accompanied by glaring white light erupted from the cracks, and the whole castle was shaken by the explosion. Gelbo rushed to the door with quick hands and eyes, and the bloated Li Xu only had time to run two steps away. He was hit by wooden beams and stones falling from the roof and buried in a pile of ruins.

The players around the castle have come to the end of clearing the guards outside the Lish mansion, and they are about to break through the gate collectively. The sudden vibration made people stop their movements, followed by the rising flames and deafening explosions It came out from a corner of the fourth floor of the castle, and the cracked stones fell like raindrops from a high place. More than half of the casualties of the players who came to attack the castle were injured by falling objects.

***

The shock wave of the explosion ravaged the entire four floors of the castle. Fang Yi was tightly in the corner, watching the stones and logs flying away from him, and his whole body was in a mess.

Who told me that this place is just a small trap?This Nima is obviously a self-destruct device!

Just one second after turning the key, a destructive force erupted from the so-called treasure room, instantly blowing up the treasure room and Fang Yi on the third and fifth floors. Fang Yi quickly hid in the room, probably being blown into the sky by the shock wave.

After the terrifying shock wave dissipated, Fang Yi kicked open the door panel in front of him, and was immediately choked by the dust all over the space. He hurried through the unrecognizable corridor and came to the source of the explosion.

Patting his still buzzing ears, Fang Yi was a little dumbfounded seeing the situation in front of him. The entire southeast corner of the castle has now disappeared, half of the rooms on the fourth floor are left, and the rooms on the third floor have completely disappeared.The players and NPCs under the castle were all pointing at the source of the explosion, obviously scared enough.

"The moonlight tonight is not bad~", the instigator of the explosion came to a conclusion after inspecting the scene.

Originally, Fang Yi's plan was to use a small explosion to attract people's attention, so that he could take the opportunity to sneak up.Although the process was a bit different from what he had imagined, Fang Yi looked at the ruins in front of him and thought that the result was acceptable.

Fang Yi took out the hook claw from his backpack, aimed at a ruin upstairs and threw it out. After the hook claw was firmly locked, Fang Yi used his strength to climb to the fourth floor.

At this time, the castle was already in chaos, and no one was calling everywhere to shout that the wealthy businessman Li Xu was killed, and the guards in the city immediately dispersed.Only a bunch of Li Xu's loyalists were left at the gate of the castle, having fun with the mixed team of players and NPCs.

More than half of the huge room on the fourth floor was destroyed, with tattered tables and chairs scattered all over the floor.Fang Yi caught sight of a shiny golden object, and immediately fished out a piece of gold from the rubble.

How can such a large piece of gold cost hundreds of gold coins? This Li Xu really deserves to be a rich man—Fang Yi wiped the deformed gold nugget on his hands, and was about to throw it into the backpack when the broken door of the room was suddenly blocked A huge force smashed away, and the guards who rushed in happened to face Fang Yi who was naked with a gold nugget eye.

Damn, this tinnitus really affects listening! ?

Fang Yi's ears were still buzzing, and he didn't hear the two people running to the door at all.However, Fang Yi reacted quickly. As soon as the two guards appeared in the field of vision, the gold nugget in his hand flew towards the face of one of the guards. Fang Yi's double blades were unsheathed after two "Cang Lang Lang" sounds.

The two people who rushed in were both level [-] fighters. Fang Yi activated the sprint skill, and sprinted behind the first fighter like lightning. There was blood between the legs.

The severe pain at the key point will cause ordinary NPCs to lose their fighting ability, and according to the player's data, they will fall into a state of strength.The first unlucky guard who rushed in was first hit on the nose by a solid gold nugget, and Fang Yi took care of his vitals. He immediately fell to the ground and curled up like a big shrimp.

Fang Yi bypassed the unlucky ghost on the ground, kept his figure, and rushed directly to the soldiers who followed him, vowing not to let the other party warn the reinforcements.But before he rushed to the front, Fang Yi's eyes were fixed.

A brick floated up above the head of the guard who was about to raise his sword to chop it, followed by a lightning strike, and a "pop!" hit the guard's head, bringing up debris and a lot of dust. (to be continued...)
