Chapter 97: Seeing the Sun Again
Lin Xuan didn't care about Leonard's coronation ceremony. What he cared about was the four keys in the hands of the royal family. Fortunately, West lived up to expectations and found the safe with the keys by relying on his advantage as the old king's confidant for many years.
The safe was also equipped with magic to defend against counterattacks, but Lin Xuan, who was already a little impatient, had no interest in studying it at all, so he just forcibly destroyed the safe and took out the key.
In this way, except for the one that did not appear in the original work, Lin Xuan has mastered six of the seven keys. And the mechanical level of hundreds of years ago is not so unsolvable now. In the original work, Monroe is
The box was opened with six keys.
Leonard stayed in Vienna to consolidate his position, while Lin Xuan went directly back to Portland to meet with Nick.
"Did you find the remaining keys?" Nick asked excitedly.
"It's almost there, there's still one more to go." But I feel like it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, today's craftsmanship is much better than back then, and it should be able to be opened with six keys.
"It makes sense, this is mine. The pattern on the back of the key should be a map. We need to put all the maps together to get the final address."
The map was quickly put together. Although a small piece was missing, it didn't matter anymore. The burial place of the treasure had been basically marked clearly. But what made Nick and Lin Xuan a little dumbfounded was that even though it was clearly marked, the two of them still had no clues.
I can't understand people at all. Of course Lin Xuan knows that this is an ancient German map. But there is nothing he can do about it. The drawing method and standard of this map are completely different from today's maps. Even Google can't do anything about it. This is
A largely lost map.
"I know a man who is of German descent. He is very proficient in these things. Maybe I can ask him for help." Nick said in a negotiating tone. After all, Lin Xuan brought the key.
"No problem, just are you sure he will like this adventure?"
"I'm sure if I don't invite him, he will get angry with me."
Soon Monroe arrived at the bar and was immediately attracted by the map on the table.
"Oh my god, this is a kind of military map that briefly emerged during the Crusades. But its identification was too complicated, so it was later abandoned. My grandfather taught me when I was a child. I really didn't expect it to be used here.
"
Munro took out another comparison map of modern Germany and after some calculations finally came up with a rough location.
"This location should be in the eastern part of the Black Forest in Germany. But a more specific location requires on-site observation."
"Take a rest and leave for Germany tomorrow."
The Black Forest has been mentioned many times in Green's world, but due to funding issues it has never appeared directly. According to the description in the plot, the Black Forest is like the dark forest in traditional fantasy, the Demon Moon Forest and other forbidden places, with countless powerful darkness.
creatures, and endless dangers.
After walking for a whole day, Lin Xuan and his party arrived at the burial place of the treasure according to the map. In addition to Nick Monroe, Lin Xuan also brought a Green creature team headed by Paul for this operation.
I came to deal with some trivial things. However, when I got here, I found that there was only a dense forest without any trace of man-made things.
"According to the map, we should have arrived. But it seems like something went wrong." Monroe said somewhat depressedly.
"Not necessarily. Don't forget that ancient times didn't have modern precision instruments. They couldn't draw maps as accurately as they do now. So your calculations are likely to have a lot of errors. To the north, about five hundred meters away from here
There are traces of artificial construction there, let’s go there and take a look.”
"Five hundred meters away, how did you know?"
"I am a magician. I can do many things that seem incredible."
"..."
"It does look like there are traces of artificial construction. It's just that this is where it is."
"Looking at these colored glass fragments, I know that there was a kind of building in that era that liked to use this kind of stained glass."
"Church." Monroe responded quickly.
"Yes, this should be the ruins of a church. And if I guess correctly, the burial site of the treasure remains here."
As he spoke, Lin Xuan stepped on the ground, and a burst of magic power surged out. A huge hole opened in the ground in front of him, revealing an underground space.
Lin Xuan had read the original plot and knew the secret room under the church, so he used magic to easily open the entrance. However, Lin Xuan frowned after that.
"Paul, a few bugs have followed them. Please take someone to deal with them."
"Understood."
"What happened?" Monroe asked.
"Someone is following us," Nick replied, "I heard movement behind us as soon as we entered the forest."
"Nick, your five senses are really getting sharper and sharper. If you continue like this, you may develop more powerful abilities."
"I hope so. Ever since I became a Green, I have realized how valuable power is. I hope I can become stronger in the future."
"When you start to pursue power, being strong will become a necessity. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to keep your true heart and don't get lost in power."
Underground of the church was a dark passage. A fluorescent ball floated in Lin Xuan's hand and illuminated the entire passage. The fluorescent ball floated on Lin Xuan's head and followed him slowly forward.
Surrounding the passage is a skeleton wall made up of countless human or alien skulls. Countless empty eye holes stare at the three of them. If the three of them weren't such bold and audacious masters, they would have been too frightened to move their legs.
At the end of the passage was also a wall of skeletons, but this time Lin Xuan felt something different.
The aura of magic on the skull wall in front of him is very faint, but it does exist. Lin Xuan can use magic to forcefully break it. But he hesitated and still didn't do anything. After waiting for so long, it's the last step. It's still step by step.
Come on. It will be troublesome if some self-destruct mechanism is triggered again.
It was time for Lin Xuan to pretend to be a fluorescent ball and extinguished the fluorescent ball.
"Okay, I forgot. I'll be fine soon." As he said that, a new fluorescent ball rose up. But in that short moment, North Monroe noticed it.
"Wait, did you see it? Nick. The wall just now."
"Yes. I saw it. Lin, extinguish your spell."
Lin Xuan followed his words and extinguished the fluorescent ball. Suddenly, three skeletons glowed blue on the wall opposite. Monroe tried to turn the three skeletons, and a sound of a mechanism was heard. The wall cracked, revealing the inside.
metal box.
It was a typical box in the shape of a treasure box in movies and TV shows. It was blue-grey and looked like it was made of bronze. The box was not big, and it was just right for one person to hold. It was difficult to see the specific situation in the dim light, but that kind of age had to be
The traces are still there. Seven centuries later, it is still visible again.
"Okay, everyone. The mission is completed, it's time for us to go home."
A small-scale battle on the ground had just ended. Paul and others completely crushed the pursuers behind them. After paying the price of a few minor injuries, they successfully controlled all the pursuers. However, Paul did not attack.
