Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

ps: Two hundred and five!

On the occasion of Chapter 250, Feidan is rolling all over the floor, begging for double monthly tickets

The pirate who was in charge of digging the pit looked at the stone under his feet in surprise. The feel from the pickaxe and the situation in front of him surprised the pirate: a big hole was directly dug into the seemingly hard stone by the pickaxe, and only the dark stone was left. It was just a hard shell on the outside, and the holes chiseled out by the pirates were pitch-black, with some black mist coming out vaguely.

Antonio, who was standing by the pit, saw this situation, his expression changed, he quickly covered his nose and took two steps back.However, after about ten seconds, the three pirates standing at the bottom of the pit did not show any abnormality at all. They looked at each other, and finally looked up at the blond nobleman with a tense expression on his head.

"Are you still digging?"

"Of course we have to dig." Antonio calmly concealed his flustered look, and said calmly, "This must be some kind of trickery done by my ancestors. Dig! There must be something down there."

With the approval of the employer, the robbers shook their arms and chiseled randomly, but no one noticed that Antonio silently withdrew from the crowd around the pit, and walked to the edge of the cliff away from the excavation point by himself.

"Master Brown!"

A low voice suddenly came from behind, which startled Antonio who was pretending to be looking at the scenery down the mountain. When he turned around, he realized that the man standing behind him was that muscular, burly man with prickly speech.

"Brute bull, don't scare people, can you?" Antonio glared at the other party with a cold face, and said angrily.

The pirate known as "The Bull" grinned. "Master Brown, do you yearn for the sea?"

"Speak up if you have something to say, and you don't need to go around in circles." Antonio put his hands behind his back, turned his head and continued to stare at the Falling Star Sea in the distance, his arrogant attitude was undoubtedly revealed.

Man Niu stared at the back of the blond young man, the coldness in his eyes flashed past, but the smile on his face was even stronger, "I'm wondering, if the harvest this time exceeds expectations, will the share we brothers get be paid?" Higher."

"What!?" After hearing this.Antonio, who was originally calm, suddenly turned his head.There was already anger in the eyes, "You want to go back on your word?"

"No, no, don't get me wrong, this is just some compensation for our dead brothers." Man Niu still had a smile on his face.But a sly look appeared on the face of such a strong man.It feels a bit uncoordinated more or less.

"Besides, this time we came out to help you with the leader behind our backs. If the old man finds out that there are a few missing people when we go back... How do you say we should explain it? You know, our leader likes things that are shiny and shiny..."

"That old man. Hmph!" Antonio's face was full of disdain, but his heart was filled with anger, "If it was changed to a month ago, even the leaders of the islands and archipelagos would have to look at the faces of our Brown family..."

"Now!"

Man Niu suddenly raised his voice to plan the other party's words, and his two big eyes like copper bells fixed on the young noble in front of him, with a tough face, "It's not what it used to be, Mr. Brown. The Brown family no longer exists. !"

Antonio was taken aback by the sudden outburst of the bull, his fair face turned red, he opened his mouth but said nothing.Seeing that he had frightened the other party, Man Niu stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the shoulders of the young nobleman, changed his tone, and said in a low voice,

"I'm giving you a piece of news for free. I heard that the islands are planning a major event recently, and I have no time to take care of you fat sheep. If it weren't for this, do you think there would be people alive in Li Xu's castle that day?"

Patting the shoulder of the pale-faced young man, Man Niu laughed, turned and walked towards the pirates surrounding the pit.Antonio, who was standing there in a daze, recalled the information revealed by the other party just now, and thought that these people in front of him were no different from those murderous pirates on the islands, and immediately felt a chill coming from behind.

But the panic of the young nobles didn't stop there, because soon, the pirates had a little problem with their excavation.

Fang Yi was extremely fortunate at this time. Fortunately, he chose the difficult task of assassinating the city lord when he advanced, and got the epic cloak early.

After walking up the stone steps of the passage, there is a wellhead that goes straight up and down that is only as high as one person.Fang Yi tried his best to hide in the shadows, and with the cloak's mandatory level 1 stealth and high agility bonus, he crawled under the eyes of two absent-minded pirates.

As Fang Yi expected, the passage really connected to the top of the mountain.Seen from below, the cliffs are full of weeds, thorns, and shrubs, and there is no place for people to stand on. But when he came up, Fang Yi discovered that there was an open land in the middle of this cliff-surrounded land. The wind and rain damage was severe, but some broken stone slabs could still be seen at the edge of the clearing.

Moreover, the people who chose this place used local materials and carved many mysterious patterns on the rocks, which almost occupied a small half of the ground area. Only the middle piece of the triangular-shaped mountaintop still retains the appearance of natural rocks. ——Seeing this, Fang Yi couldn't help thinking of the player who learned a rare summoning skill during the closed beta: summoning a giant eagle.

If there is a flying mount, wouldn't it be easy to find a secret place like this?However, after the official operation, whether it is the flying pet or the skill book for summoning flying monsters, it has become something above the epic level, which can be encountered but not sought after...

Fang Yi hid behind a rock and stretched his neck hard, trying to see what the pirates were digging, but his height was limited, and although the number of pirates was suddenly reduced due to the traps along the way, they gathered together There were still six or seven people. Fang Yi could only see the dirt being thrown up continuously, followed by the tinkling sound of knocking, but he couldn't see the situation in the middle, so he could only be anxious.

However, Fang Yi soon spotted the brightly dressed blond youth and also saw the strong man talking with the blond youth, so he simply focused on the conversation between the two.The two standing on the edge of the cliff didn't realize at all that there was a wretched figure hidden in the shadow of the boulder not far away.

Islands?Li Xu's brother?

Fang Yi touched his chin, and suddenly remembered that in the small building of the old scholar Gelbo, he overheard two people from the City Lord's Mansion mention that the fat Li Xu did have a younger brother.But Fang Yi didn't have much contact with this task line, so he was in a fog, scratching his head to figure out what the strong man's last words meant, when there was a strange noise from the crowd on the other side.

At the bottom of the deep pit, the black stone shell has been completely crushed, and after peeling away a layer of sand and soil mixture, another layer of gray-green stuff is revealed.This layer was hard to the touch, like thick old leather, and exuded a weird smell that covered the entire bottom of the pit.It looks like it is completely packed in a black shell, and the first impression it gives people is that there is something wrapped inside.

However, as the accumulated soil was gradually cleaned up, a gemstone the size of an ordinary person's finger suddenly appeared in front of the pirates, shining blood-red light.The bar-shaped gem had been buried in the ground for an unknown number of years, but it still exuded a strange light, and there were a few ghost-like marks engraved on it, which were exactly the same as the lines of writing on the black shell.

The pirates present could somewhat sense that the way the treasure was "buried" seemed a little weird, but these people were all year-round desperadoes wandering between life and death. Someone reached out and tried to pick out the ruby.

If Antonio were here, he would at least have hesitated, because this time the text on the gemstone was more straightforward, full of warnings—"Death to those who act recklessly!"

If Fang Yi could see the black stone shell that was smashed before and the greenish-grey soil cover in front of him, he would definitely not want to fill the hole directly.Because this kind of thing is too familiar to Dongfang Yi.In advanced dungeons and dungeons, especially in scenes related to tombs, there are often such things-either traps, or simply bosses.

It's a pity that neither the warning specially reserved for the descendants of the Brown family nor the two-layer structure with obvious characteristics, did not play the slightest role.The impatient pirate grabbed onto the blood-red gemstone, and was about to pull it down with all his strength. Unexpectedly, there was an inexplicable suction force from the gemstone, and he felt weak all over, and his eyes went black for a while.

The surrounding pirates retreated in fright, screaming and wanting to climb to the top of the pit.

Under the eyes of everyone, the pirate with the fastest hands and feet seemed to be sucked dry by something terrifying, and turned into a skeleton wrapped in human skin in a blink of an eye. The voice, because the muscles on "his" face have completely disappeared, revealing pale teeth and high cheekbones, and the left eyeball also fell out of the eye socket because of the loss of muscle support, and fell to the ground.

The remaining two pirates in the pit tried desperately to climb up, but the pirates standing by the pit were terrified by this weird scene, and retreated one after another. come up.

Soon, Fang Yi, who was full of curiosity in the corner, felt the vibration under his feet. At the same time, there was a piercing roar from the pit, and the voices of the two pirates calling for help stopped abruptly.At the same time, a thick arm covered in blood and minced flesh suddenly stretched out from the pit, and its sharp nails scratched the rock, making a teeth-stinging creaking sound.

From hearing the exclamation to the appearance of the strange hand, the whole process took five or six seconds.Fang Yi stared at the outstretched monster claws, his heart raced, and he was about to take action, but he keenly heard a slight sound coming from the hole on the left.

A big head wearing an iron helmet sneaked out halfway from the shaft, and was looking wretchedly at the rioting pirates. (to be continued..)
