In addition to rare metals, Manolin also obtained several interesting objects.

Among these objects, the most interesting ones are the [Labyrinth Ring] and the [Crown of Fools].

After a simple classification of the various metals, Manolin picked up a khaki ring with a maze pattern and a crown inlaid with ten transparent gems.

The two things in his hand are the [Labyrinth Ring] and the [Crown of Fools].

After the appraisal of the [archaeologist] and the [explorer], Manolin naturally knew the names and effects of all these objects.

Among the objects obtained this time, Manolin is more interested in this ring and this crown.

Among them, the [Labyrinth Ring] he prefers to call it the "Ring of Big Fish", because after wearing this ring, you will get lost like a fisherman who catches a big fish.

Yes, the side effect of this [maze ring] is that the wearer will feel like they are in a maze, even if the user is on the most familiar and simplest road, wearing the ring will still make them feel like they are walking into a maze.

And its positive effect is "treasure hunting".

While the [maze ring] makes people feel like they are in a maze, it will also make people unconsciously discover the "treasures" hidden around.

In general, the practicality of the [maze ring] is not very great. After all, it is impossible to have hidden good things everywhere. Generally speaking, after wearing this ring, the things that can be found are the most valuable ownerless things around.

In other words, you may waste a lot of effort, but in the end you will find a beautiful stone, a beautiful flower, or a few coins that have been dropped by someone.

Fortunately, the danger of the [maze ring] is not very great. As long as the user takes off the ring, the side effects of the ring will disappear immediately.

This kind of thing that is not very dangerous and very fun is very suitable as a "toy" for children.

So Manolin decided to use this [Maze Ring] as the "treasure of the room" in the school area entertainment room.

After determining the location of the [Maze Ring], he looked at the [Crown of Fools].

Like the [Maze Ring], the [Crown of Fools] is very entertaining.

Its effect is very similar to the "King's Game" in the Japanese comics of the previous life. However, the user of the [Crown of Fools] can designate nearby people (up to 10 people including the user) to play a "King's Game".

The ten gems on the crown correspond to the players of each game. When the game starts, one of the gems will light up.

The corresponding player will become the "King" and can order others to do something.

If others do not complete this thing or are unwilling to complete it, then that person will be punished.

The content of the punishment is electric shock, burning, flooding, beheading, piercing, skinning...

And this game will only stop after a player dies.

The negative effect is that the user of [Fool's Crown] must participate in every game.

It is impossible to say that you can point at a few enemies and let them play the "King's Game" by themselves.

It hurts others and hurts yourself. It can be said that the game created by [Fool's Crown] is a real dark game.

This reminds Manolin of the stories in the early days of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" comics.

In this trophy, except for these two more interesting objects, the other strange objects he got are not very good.

Either the cost is too high, or the effect is too useless.

For example, Manolin called it the [Arrogant Glasses] "Eyes of the Goose". According to legend, the reason why the big geese in the countryside in the previous life attacked so strongly is that the eyes of the geese see everything smaller than them, so they are so brave.

And wearing this [Arrogant Glasses] has a similar effect.

After wearing the glasses, any strong person the user sees will make him feel weak, thus giving rise to arrogance.

Manolin guessed that this thing should be matched with the weapon made of [Warrior's Iron].

[Arrogant Glasses] increase courage, [Warrior's Iron] increases combat power, the two are a perfect match.

In addition, Manolin also obtained a strange item called [Ghoul's Stomach].

The effect of this thing is to give the user a terrifying digestive ability, even some ordinary steel and stones can be easily digested. In addition, [Ghoul's Stomach] can also allow the user to spit out corrosive gastric juice to attack the enemy.

If we only talk about the positive effects, [Ghoul's Stomach] is naturally a more powerful strange item.

But the problem is that the side effects of this thing are too great.

First of all, if you want to use this strange item, you must remove your stomach and replace it with [Ghoul's Stomach].Bag].

Secondly, when the user changes to the [Ghoul's Stomach Bag], he will suffer from endless hunger.

No matter how much the user eats, the user will feel extremely hungry until this hunger breaks through the user's reason and turns the user into a madman who eats everything he sees.

...

After dealing with all the spoils, Manolin is ready to return to Deccantim City.

This exploration of the ruins and the processing of various spoils took a total of two days, and the fishing competition held by Tobias is approaching.

Manolin naturally needs to prepare for the competition.

[Pterosaur] soon returned to the lake near Deccantim City.

And at this time, Manolin found that the situation in the city seemed a little wrong.

The commercial street that should have been bustling, most of the shops were closed and no longer open for business, and the small boats that should have been crowded on the river were nowhere to be seen.

At this time, the ships flying the flags of the Xige Empire Guards were towing upstream in the river.

These ships were equipped with machine guns and rows of fully armed and alert elite soldiers.

"Look at this situation, is the city closed? What happened?"

With this doubt, Manolin called Tobias's communicator.

"Mr. Tobias, do you know what happened in Decantim City?

Why did I see a bunch of soldiers patrolling there when I came back?"

"What? Your emperor was assassinated?"

Hearing the voice coming from the microphone, Manolin broke out in a cold sweat.

According to Tobias, during the two days or nearly three days that Manolin was exploring the ruins, the current emperor of the Xige Empire died of cardiac arrest.

According to the investigation, the emperor's cardiac arrest was not an accident, but was tampered with.

After hanging up the communicator, Manolin felt a little guilty.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right? Could it be that the duke I met last time is the emperor of the Xige Empire?

It's impossible? Could it be that the emperor of the Xige Empire also likes to play the incognito tour trick like Qianlong?

And this doesn't make sense. The trap I set for the duke can't possibly work so quickly."
