I sell sweets in Konoha

"Don't be so angry." The masked man said with a playful smile, "Now the situation in the ninja world has changed, which is very beneficial to us."

"Even if the situation changes, it's your business." Hyde said, "I just want the Grayl Stone."

"Ah~ I know~ I know." The masked man said: "You just want the Gray Stone, but the problem now seems to be that both the Wind Shadow and the Hokage are interested in the Gray Stone. If you don't want to find a way, I think You can’t keep your Grayl Stone here!”

"Asshole!" Hyde said angrily: "According to our original agreement, wasn't it up to you to settle the affairs of the countries on this continent?"

"What?" Hyde said sarcastically, "Can't you settle it now?"

"Ah~ that's not true." The masked man waved his hand and said, "After all, they are the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind. The Country of Fire is the most powerful country in the Ninja Continent. The Country of Wind is also one of the five most powerful countries in the Ninja Continent. One, how could it be settled so easily?"

"Then you still can't settle it." Haide patted the chair and said, "Thankfully I am still willing to believe you."

"I said~" The masked man seemed a little helpless and said: "Why can't you think about the good side?"

"Let's say I find you a troublemaker."

"Ok?"

This time, Hyde seemed to have some interest.

A spoiler?What does it mean?

"The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire are allies." The masked man said, "So they won't fall out easily, but they also intend to fall out for the Grayl Stone."

"Now~" the masked man scratched his head and said, "It is in a delicate balance. So in order to break this delicate balance, we need to introduce a force that is hostile to the Fire Country."

"For example, the Kingdom of Thunder."

The masked man said: "As long as they have the support of the Kingdom of Thunder, the ninjas of the Kingdom of Wind will be in a semi-neutral state. Because the Kingdom of Thunder is too far away from them and the Kingdom of Fire is too close. They still understand how to communicate far away and attack closely. "

"So uniting with the ninjas from the Land of Thunder to jointly check and balance the ninjas from the Land of Fire is the current choice Kazekage has made."

"Then what does this have to do with me?" Hyde asked.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." The masked man said: "The Kingdom of Thunder united with the Kingdom of Wind to deal with the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Wind acquiesced to unite with the Kingdom of Thunder for the Grayl Stone. Then why can't we unite with the Kingdom of Wind? ?Regard the Kingdom of Wind as our ally at least for a short period of time?"

Why not?

Because they all need Grayl Stone Mine!

Hyde had not thought about sharing the Gray Stone with anyone, not even the country where the Gray Stone mine was located.

Exclusivity is the only thing he wants.

But the masked man was right. He did help him solve the local resistance from another angle.

"Let's talk about the problem of Glenelg Mine." Hyde did not intend to continue talking about this issue. He had his own plans.I don't plan on having a showdown with this masked man just yet.

"We dug according to the address you gave us." Hyde picked up his book from the ground and said, "But we found nothing."

"Except for a bunch of underground ruins!"

This is what Hyde is most concerned about, and it is also one of the direct reasons for him to stay here. It can even be said to be the most important reason!As for local political and international issues, he didn't care. Whether this masked man could help him deal with the local forces was not an issue he cared about either.

All he needs to do is dig the Greer Stone Mine, and he can develop it in advance by occupying the first-come-first-served position near the water.

Then create more and stronger biochemical soldiers and rely on their own strong strength to quickly wipe out the continent. By then, the local forces will not be a problem at all.

Of course this was his original plan.

It's just that so far, he has dug up nothing but a lot of ruins.

This made him extremely annoyed.

"Oh~ my dear friend." The masked man seemed to be very surprised and said: "Are you doubting my honesty? I have said everything I know about my friends."

The corners of Hyde's mouth twitched and he didn't say anything.

"Okay." The masked man seemed a little frustrated and said, "Let's discuss the matter."

The masked man finally became serious and said: "It is normal for you to dig out only some ruins based on the matter, and digging out the ruins shows that we are digging in the right direction."

Hyde held the book and said, "Go on."

He wanted to see what other explanations the masked man could give.

"Enchantment and misdirection." The masked man said: "This Greer Stone was discovered by a civilization that originally appeared here, and it was also sealed by that civilization that originally appeared here. Since it is a seal, even if we find the correct In the direction, there is no way to find the Greer Stone Mine before breaking through the seal."

What the masked man said made Hyde somewhat convinced. According to the book in his hand, the Greer Stone Mine was sealed.

Therefore, even if ordinary people know the location, they cannot find this stone mine.

Only those with some bloodline, that is, the descendants of that civilization, can open the door to the Greer Stone Mine.

This is why he first attacked the place where Timsey lived and tied Timsey to his station car through coaxing.Although he was giving up temporarily, he was not giving up completely. He knew that Timsi and those from the Fire Nation would not run away.They will come back when they find the gate to the Glenel Mine.

At that time, all he has to do is defeat those brats and use Timsi to open the stone mine.

But so far he still hasn't found a stone mine.

Just found the ruins.

"Is the book in your hand about the Glenelg Mine?" the masked man seemed to ask curiously.

"This has nothing to do with you, right?" Hyde said as he put away his book.

"Of course not." The masked man said, "It's just that if you just rely on the things in the book to search, it will inevitably feel a bit like following the map. It's really dull."

"Besides, not everything recorded in your book is correct and not necessarily comprehensive."

"What do you mean?" Hyde asked with a frown.

"It's not interesting." The masked man said, "I found someone who knows exactly this."

"And I know it very clearly."

Chapter 400 An old man

A person or a book, which one is more important?

Hyde certainly knew that.

of equal importance.

People and books are important carriers for passing on knowledge. If someone does not have a book and relies on word of mouth, those stories and knowledge are likely to be very different from the original, most primitive, and closest to the truth version.And if there are only books and no people, although the records in the books may be the first, most original and most authentic version.But the loss of writing makes 'reading' very difficult.

When I first got this book, it took a lot of effort to understand it.

So books and people are equally important.

When books cannot be used as references, the importance of people becomes apparent.

Now Hyde has discovered that the reference that the book can provide him has reached its limit. According to the guidance in the book, they have only discovered the ruins but not the entrance to the mine.

This shows that either this part of the record is lost, or this part has not been recorded.

But with luck, this part of the record will be passed down in other ways.

For example, people.

"You..." Hyde said with a warm smile on his face: "Have you found that clan of people here?"

Are the descendants of that civilization still on this continent?

Not to mention that this is really very possible, after all, this is the birthplace of that civilization, and it is also where the Greer Stone Mine is buried.Therefore, the probability of finding a descendant of that civilization on this continent is much higher than that of finding one in his hometown. However, except for the descendants who have a little blood, the rest are basically lost to everyone.

It’s absolutely normal for cultural inheritance to be discontinued. That civilization has become extinct.

It is possible for human beings to exist, but the extinction of civilization is the end of inheritance.

So the probability of finding a descendant here may be high, but if you find this descendant and inherit the knowledge of this civilization, the probability is very small.

Are you so lucky?

Or is his partner just so lucky to have found such a person?

"It's a trivial matter," the masked man said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hyde saw a whirlpool appear in the masked man's one eye. The next second, an old man wearing strange clothes emerged from the whirlpool and fell to the ground.

An old man wearing strange clothes.

Hyde looked at it for a moment and then lost his patience.

What to say?

He looks like an ordinary little old man, nothing special at all.This always made Hyde feel like this masked man had just tricked someone here to lie to him.

"You don't seem to believe it." The masked man could tell what Hyde was thinking at a glance.

"That's not true." Hyde said, holding on to his book, "It's just unbelievable."

symbol!

A symbol, a mark, a badge.This is a testimony of the long-term inheritance of a civilization, and even if there are fault symbols, badges or marks in this civilization, they can still be passed down, although the person who inherits this thing may not necessarily understand the meaning of what he inherits.

This was how he found Timsey in the first place.

Now where is this little old man?

Anyway, Hyde didn't see anything belonging to that civilization in this little old man. He seemed to be just the most ordinary old man on this continent, with nothing special about him.It is completely impossible to tell that he is the successor of an ancient civilization, let alone that he knows any secrets of that civilization.

But you can't say that if you don't believe it at all.

At least Hyde saw something in the old man's eyes. He seemed to be full of doubts about the book in his hand and himself.It's just that I didn't ask.

So now Hyde only believes half of it.

"Ah~" the masked man said, seemingly teasingly: "Since you think I'm lying to you, then I'll just let you go."

"This is someone I spent a lot of effort to find, and you actually think he's lying to you."

"No~" Hyde immediately stopped him: "I just find it unbelievable, and I'm not saying I don't believe it."

"After all~"

Hyde spread his hands and said, "It would be a bit unbelievable for anyone to run into something as good as luck, right?"

It's really not true. In addition, now that I have stayed here for too long, I have put all my current treasures on it.There is no turning back when the bow is fired. Even if this is really a little old man who knows nothing, he can only break his teeth and swallow it, and find another way.

But as the saying goes, whether there are jujubes or not, there are three poles. I need to ask whether this little old man is a real descendant.

If that were true, wouldn’t he have made a lot of money?

Hyde took out a Greel stone from his jacket pocket and said, "Old man, do you recognize this thing?"

This is Hyde's last Gray Stone. If he can't find the location of the Gray Stone Mine, he will really end up in this place.

"I don't know." The little old man immediately shook his head and said respectfully: "Master Ninja, I have never seen such a stone before."

"Never seen it before?" Hyde's voice was a little confused.

Have you really never seen it before?

Do not!no way!

It’s definitely not like this old man has never seen this thing before!

Having been the leader for so many years, he was able to turn Timsey around. If Hyde didn't have the ability to recognize people, Timsey would have rebelled long ago!No need to wait until now!

Hyde could tell at a glance that this old man was definitely up to something!

He saw the old man frown slightly, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

This means that this old man must know something and have seen it before!He must know this thing, otherwise he wouldn't have such an expression!

Even though he disguises himself well, he can still see it.

But he still saw it!

This old man must know!And most likely know a lot!

"Oh~ my dear friend." Hyde immediately said with a beaming smile, "This is really a great gift!"

This is indeed a great gift, and it makes Hyde feel happier and more excited than any other gift!This old man must know something, and maybe he can really help him solve his current predicament.

"Then I hope you won't forget our agreement."

After saying that, the masked man disappeared from Hyde's eyes again.

Seeing the masked man disappear, Hyde still maintained his smile and said, "Old man! Do you really not recognize this stone?"

"I really don't know him." The old man replied timidly and a little scared.

Hyde didn't say anything. He put away the Greer Stone in his hand, stood up from his special seat and slowly walked to the old man's side.
