After receiving Sawyer's package, the two sat down directly in a remote corner of the tavern.

There was nothing in Sawyer's package, only a few notebooks wrapped tightly in oiled paper.

The things recorded in the notes are very sparse, with huge intervals before and after, and while there is no date as an interval, even some key and sensitive words are referred to by some kind of alias.

Looking at the whole notebook, I don't know what he is talking about at all. This is a code book without a translation method.

Generally, if this step is achieved in the task of [Foreign Land], Mo Cheng will probably click [Abandon the task] directly, because he knows very well that the next task to obtain the decryption codebook will be another task.

There is a high probability that this task will require you to run a long distance, talk to troublesome people, and even hold your nose to do a few tedious and unnecessary tasks for those guys who blow their beards and stare at you. The reason is that the other party needs [Test 】you.

Just recalling the previous decryption process, Mo Cheng felt that his blood pressure was steadily rising.

"I want to ask, how did Sawyer end up?"

Just when Mo Cheng was about to tear off the password book on his hand, the bartender who was cleaning suddenly asked.

Mo Cheng has nothing to hide, "He, let's become one with nature, without any pain."

The three arrows pierced through Sawyer's head, throat, and heart before he had time to react, and were then incinerated by Mo Cheng's [flame breath], and also avoided the fate of being dug out by carnivores in the forest .

Hearing what Mo Cheng said, the bartender left with his head down, and soon he brought a large glass of wine and put it in front of Mo Cheng, "This glass is left here by Sawyer, I bought the wine, thank you for your help His. Take the cup away after drinking, and close the door for me by the way."

The wine glass is a whole piece of oak dug into the shape of a cup. It is estimated that the capacity of a glass is probably more than one liter. Unlike other wine glasses, flower bags and green shoots grow on the outside of the wine glass, just like this piece of wood Did not lose vitality in general.

The wine in the glass is the most common ale. It has low alcohol content and is cheap. It is the best choice for people with little money to get drunk.

The ale that was supposed to be yellow in the cup mixed with the green light from the cup, showing a strange dark green.

It feels like the ink has precipitated and solidified, and then dried up in the sun, and then put into the water again.

Mo Cheng can be sure that he will never drink this kind of thing. The appearance of this thing tells others that it is not something that can enter the stomach.

But Mo Cheng seemed to realize something, he frowned and stretched out his hand to dip into the wine glass, and then smeared the slight ale onto the blank space of the notebook.

Everything Sawyer wrote down in his notebook, every word was consciously blanked out, and there was a strange blank line in the middle of every line.

After the ale that looked like a mutated substance was stained on the blank space, clear writing appeared immediately, "...this puzzle seems a little simple..."

It is undoubtedly a good thing for Mo Cheng to be able to solve the puzzle as soon as he gets it, but he feels that it seems too simple.

It is a very common idea that seeing a difficult question is too difficult, and when there is an answer next to it, it is too easy to get the answer.

But this is undoubtedly a good thing for Mo Cheng, because he really knows himself too well, and if he really has to run a few more rounds of tasks to decrypt it, it will undoubtedly be a very uncomfortable thing for him.

Carefully smeared all the blanks of the notebook with ale, and there were many densely packed small words between the lines. After smearing all the blanks of the notebook with ale, the whole glass of ale was used up just right.

When there was not a drop of ale left in the wine glass, and words appeared in all the blank spaces of the notebooks, several notebooks floated out of thin air, and the paper fell off to form a circle that continued to rotate.

As a ray of light from the wine glass hit one of the papers, all the papers reacted like dominoes, and finally the papers overlapped in front of Mo Cheng, and all the densely packed invisible characters on it began to change, forming a map.

A map with clear markings.

"I take back my foreword, this thing is definitely not simple."

Mo Cheng thought it was just a simple invisible ink trick, but after seeing the whole process, he realized that the clues and insurance measures left by Sawyer were not that simple.

Even if someone learned the secret code [Tree fell] from him, they would only get a map disguised as an investigation note, and the blanks on the notebook would need to be smeared with ale in Sawyer's glass.

At the same time, it is very important that the ale in the wine glass must be just right, neither too much nor too little, otherwise other problems may occur.

And the ability to know how much ale should be in Sawyer's glass is obviously only a bartender who has dealt with him for a long time can do it.

With such an interlocking arrangement, Mo Cheng didn't even suspect that one of them was wrong, or that the bartender had doubts about them, and the map in his hand would become a deadly trap.

only…

How did the bartender know for sure that he was the one Sawyer asked for?

After handing Mo Cheng the wine glass, the bartender sat far away, and even turned around to ignore the scene when he noticed that there was movement from Mo Cheng's side. When he turned around, he found that Mo Cheng was looking at him, so he shrugged, "Sawyer told me that one day someone told me [the tree fell] and didn't ask anything else, so just put his Hand over the glass."

"As for the glass of wine, it is a custom in my hometown. Every wine glass must be filled with wine when it leaves me."

Now Mo Cheng's doubts were resolved, Sawyer obviously knew that the bartender had the customs of that hometown, and as the cup he often used, the bartender was obviously used to how much ale was poured on Sawyer's cup.

The bartender doesn't know about Sawyer's arrangement, but it doesn't matter, Sawyer knows the bartender's habits.

If even one step is wrong in this, the result obtained may be a fatal trap.

Mo Cheng guessed that if there was a mistake, then the biggest possibility is that the place shown on the map would be some kind of forbidden place of the elves.

For example, the ancient tree of life or something.

After getting the map, Mo Cheng and Margaret left the tavern, and the place marked on the map was not too far away.

But at the same time, not many people approached that place specifically.

Because that place is the public cemetery of this town.

Crow Ridge is located in the southwest of the town. There are only two people in charge of it on weekdays, one is responsible for patrolling during the day and the other is responsible for night patrol.

Their main job is to prevent jackals and wild dogs from digging up graves and grave robbers.
