Struggle in the Steam Age
Chapter 179: set off
"This lady is right." The boss nodded after hearing Syfier's appraisal conclusion. "Not only these cheap silver jewels left behind, according to stories passed down by the generations of my family, those jewels seized at that time were either very common jewellery, or some very rough-cast precious metal blocks, and some At a glance, it looks like a gem pried from the jewelry."
"It feels that these jewels may come from the wrong way." Lawrence interjected beside him, because there are not many people who choose to destroy those jewels in order to reduce the value of the jewels after getting the jewels in his impression, only some criminals would choose to do so.
Those extrajudicial fanatics do this, on the one hand, to minimize the size of the jewelry and make it easy to carry, and on the other hand, the original jewelry style is more distinctive and easy to be recognized and difficult to deal with.
Therefore, in order to prevent people from discovering that the jewelry is stolen, they will choose to disassemble the jewelry and remelt the precious metal parts of the jewelry, and even re-grind the relatively large gemstones on the jewelry.
"You are right." The innkeeper nodded in agreement. "My ancestors thought the same thing at the time, and based on their analysis, this group of people is probably some illegal group who came to take refuge from other places."
"Oh? Why do they think that?" Syfiel asked with excitement, because if the previous treasure map was true, the group of exiles in the **** sky had escaped from other places.
"Because when this incident occurred, there was no big city around the Great Lakes. The large settlements of humans in this area were all defensive towns built at important intersections and some important land with important resources. So it is impossible to find so many jewelry locally." The hotel owner shrugged.
"It turned out to be like this." Lawrence suddenly realized that a lot of things were different from the original in a long time, just like now this small town seems to be just an ordinary tourist-oriented town, but in the small town An old bunker that was used as a warehouse can still be seen on a small high ground outside.
According to the information that Lawrence saw in Couger, the lakeside town was first established as a resting place on the main road. Because too many people will attract a large number of murlocs or monsters to attack, the town does not have a wall, but chooses to build fortifications not far from the town that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"If you are not a local, did your ancestors say what the identities of those people are?" After understanding why the hotelier said that his ancestors firmly believed that these people were foreigners, Lawrence began to ask a question about him. It’s a very important issue.
"No." The hotel owner put the wine glass in his hand on the table and shook his head. "After killing the group of enemies, either the patrol team or the expedition team seriously searched every corpse and every thing, but did not find any items that could prove their identity."
"But why do we hear from the outside world that these treasures belong to a certain cult?" Saifei asked in a puzzled manner, "and we read some of your travel brochures that also claim that this is a cult treasure. "
"That's because when searching, everyone found a lot of magic materials related to human tissue from an enemy spellcaster, and he cast some spells related to the undead and blood during the battle. I can't find it. When it comes to other evidence, this is the only evidence that can be used as a guess." The hotel owner shrugged a little helplessly.
"Well, this is indeed a very powerful evidence." Lawrence nodded. As a spellcaster, he naturally knows that only necromancers and cultists like to deal with human tissues, and those who are used to carry these things with them. There are only certain cultists.
From this evidence, Lawrence even more suspected that the group of people came from the **** sky. Because removing everything that might reveal their identity and carrying a large amount of wealth that has been specially processed, the source of which is not visible is very suitable for their fleeing situation.
Next, the hotel owner was talking about some very fragmentary information. For example, afterwards, those people found a priest from the God of War Church to check it. But unfortunately, because the priest arrived a little late, it was only confirmed that the caster among the enemies killed was indeed a cultist.
For another example, because of the size of the small sampan, it is impossible to draw too far on the lake full of monsters. So everyone thinks there must be a hidden treasure near here that everyone doesn't know. As a result, with the help of magic, I found a cave with jewels hidden on the shore of the lake not far away, which is where the treasure cave of the tourist attraction is now.
"The entrance of that treasure cave is half soaked below the water surface, and there are a lot of plants around it as a cover. So if it is not magic, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to find that place." Under the stimulation of alcohol, the boss began to say Some secrets only known to the descendants of some event participants that year.
"My ancestors thought they could get a lot of wealth, but the facts disappointed them. Because after they spent a lot of time building a dam at the entrance of the cave and draining the water, they only found it in the silt at the bottom of the cave. Jewelry that adds up to less than 150 yuan."
"But this has created wealth for the younger generations of us." A smile appeared on the face of the boss here. "When I decided to focus on tourism more than 20 years ago, my father and a few of his companions rebuilt the embankment at the entrance of the cave and installed some lighting facilities to develop it into a well-known local attraction. ."
"I think if you really want to hunt for treasures, then you should go to the cave where I fought with my ancestors back then. Anyway, the places I know about treasures are these two places." The boss made a small suggestion to Lawrence and them.
"That long time has passed, I don't think there is anything left in this place." Twenty minutes later, Lawrence and Syfiel came to the place where the conflict occurred, but this place is now a very beautiful little place. In the lake bay, there is also a trestle bridge with pavilions deep into the water for tourists to view.
"Of course, I don't think there will be anything left here. But don't you think the surrounding environment is very beautiful? It's hard to come to this tourist attraction that appears on postcards. It's not a lot of fun. It's not a bit too bad~www .lightnovelpub.net ~ Standing on the trestle, Lawrence habitually touched Seifer's head and said.
"I'm not a kid anymore." Syfiel shook his head like a small animal, shook Lawrence's hand away, and then looked towards the shore of the lake. "But you're right, it's really beautiful here."
A lush coniferous forest grows by the lake, and there is only a winding path that stretches towards the small town in the distance. As a gust of wind blew, the emerald green woods growing on the undulating hills heard a rustling sound, bringing a little life to the quiet lake.
"Huh?" When the two of them were enjoying the scenery in front of them, Lawrence suddenly found that there was a hill on the left hand, which looked a little strange, because the top of this mountain was as if it had been destroyed by some powerful force. One-third of the places have disappeared.
Seeing this, he showed a look of memories, and soon he took out the earliest treasure map from the space bag. Sure enough, when drawing the treasure map, I used a few strokes to draw a strange hill with a flat top on the edge of this treasure spot.
"Is that the mountain on the map?" Safir took a look at the treasure map and then looked at the distant mountain. "Maybe we can really find the treasure this time."
