"Please take a seat."

Chen Yang stretched out his palm and motioned for Harold to sit opposite him. Ichabod stood behind Chen Yang, feeling full of oppression.

Harold looked at the undead king who was covered in armor in surprise, and he couldn't help but underestimate him. This gentleman who looked like a guard was definitely not weak.

However, thinking that Chen Yang could take out three epic-level props at will, it is not surprising to have such a guard. Harold took off his hat and put it on the table, and said the purpose of his visit: "Mr. Chen Yang, That’s right, this time I’m here on behalf of the Black and White Fox Chamber of Commerce. After careful appraisal, your three epic items are judged to be extremely close to legends. The Chamber of Commerce specially sent me to ask you whether they are really for sale.”

Hearing this, Chen Yang suddenly lost interest. He thought it was something, but it turned out that it was just those three shabby things. To be honest, even if Chen Yang lost the three of them, he wouldn't care at all, let alone exchange them for something bright and shiny. of gold coins.

"Of course, I still want to sell."

Harold, who thought he would think about it, paused. Chen Yang's calmness didn't seem to be fake. He didn't care about these three top-level epics at all. That only meant that he didn't take the epic items at all. Take it seriously.

Even the legendary level might not be able to catch his eye...

"By the way, you're here just in time. I want to ask something."

"You tell me and I'll try my best to answer."

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows secretly. It seemed that this old man knew some secrets that could not be told.

"I heard that the highlight of your auction is a treasure map written by Marquis Winston. It is said that it was a treasure brought from the Sunken Sea, but I did not find this name on the map. ”

"You mean the Sunken Sea?"

Harold touched his chin and looked at the inferior world map that Chen Yang bought for fifty copper coins.

"Yes, I have always been interested in these magical and interesting legends. In fact, I have asked some people and they have never heard of this name."

"That's old history. Since the Sunken Sea hasn't appeared in the public eye for an unknown amount of time, it's normal that most people don't know about it."

"Does it have a long history?"

Harold nodded: "If we really want to trace it back, the Sunken Sea has spread to the mainland long before the Final War."

This was something Chen Yang didn't expect. Looking at it this way, it looked like the ultimate luxury copy.

"I assume you have never been to Celestine, the harbor that lives on the sea."

"I've definitely never been there, or even heard of it."

"In Celestine, sailors will devoutly ask the sea itself when they go to sea. Only with the consent of the sea, the next day, that is, early on the day of going to sea, there will be a rusty copper coin next to the captain's pillow. In this way, Only then can they set sail.”

"After going out to sea, the captain must throw the copper coin and an orange into the first huge wave. Celestine has almost never been shipwrecked."

Chen Yang listened carefully and asked Harold: "Does your Black and White Fox Merchant sell that copper coin?"

"No, there is no owner in the world who has not returned a copper coin."

Ichabod and Chen Yang looked at each other. It seemed that all the guys who had not returned the copper coins were dead, even the buyers.

"And the Sunken Sea is said to be on the copper coin that lies beside the captain's pillow every morning." Harold paused, "According to legend, it is not necessarily the copper coin that the captain sees every time he wakes up. Silver and gold coins.”

"If what you see is silver coins, it proves that the people on the boat are recognized by the sea. They will get different treasures in the first wave, and even... gods."

"If what you see is a gold coin, after the first wave, no matter where the boat goes, it will end up in a completely waveless place. Even the oar cannot make ripples on it. There are boats everywhere. The wreckage was so dark that the people on board could only use kerosene lamps for lighting, not even light magic."

"There was no concept of direction and, of course, no navigation. Nothing moved on the sea except ships."

Even Chen Yang has never heard of such a magical place.

"If you want to leave, you have to dive. No one knows how deep the sea is there, and kerosene lamps cannot work underwater. Anyone can only be alone in darkness during the dive, because, I don't know why. The reason is that even if we hold hands, we will eventually become separated.”

"Most people will dive forever in the sea because they can't go up, and will eventually sink into the boundless darkness and the past."

"No one knows what will happen to a small number of people. From the sinking sea, only treasures and no ships..."

Chen Yang was so attracted by the story of the Sunken Sea that he couldn't walk any further. He immediately said: "I must go to Celestine in the future!"

At the same time, he was also estimating the value of the treasure map.

Since the only thing that comes out of the Sunken Sea is treasure, and the Sunken Sea can still be spread in the continent of Novaria to this day, and even the treasures from it can attract many powerful people to snatch it, then the value of this treasure map is definitely not low. .

As for why Marquis Winston doesn't use it himself, the reason lies in the treasure map itself, which is also one of the uncertainties of the treasure map.

The two chatted for a while, and Harold stood up to leave. Chen Yang didn't expect that he came just for this matter, and his understanding of the services of the Black and White Fox Chamber of Commerce reached a new level.

"Your Majesty, treasure map..."

"You're not short of money, you can buy it. It's uncivilized to rob."

As a good young man in the new era, robbery always feels inconsistent with his status... Chen Yang murmured and looked up out of the window: "I heard that there is an extremely mysterious mage in Faria City. This man claims to be able to see into the future. The lady is so elusive to everyone that even King Lucius of the August Empire went to her for divination.”

Ichabod stood next to Chen Yang, respectfully. For him, obeying Chen Yang's orders was above all else, and as an ultimate military commander, it was difficult for him to have any opinions on the king's decision-making.

After all, he was the Supreme King. How could he figure out all his thoughts on his own?

"Divination, maybe it's interesting, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Chen Yang looked at the people walking on the street and said expectantly: "I'll have a look tomorrow. I don't know if I can find her. I heard she's a mature and intellectual big sister. I'm really looking forward to it."

...

A little later, in the south of Valia City, there was a room with lights still on at midnight.

Cross looked at the uninvited guest who broke into the house in the middle of the night and was not angry. She just welcomed him calmly and with a smile.

"Welcome, Lord Marquis, I'm sorry, the shop is closed."

"I'm not here for divination."

Marquis Winston whispered as he glanced at the table with a gloomy face. There were already opened tarot cards on it, and his name was drawn on the wooden board with letters engraved on it.

"The mage who can see into the future... really deserves his reputation." The Marquis said, taking out a letter from his pocket and placing it gently on the table.

"I think you must be the most competent postman in the world." Cross joked with a smile.

"I'm too lazy to do it, and I hate to do it." After saying this, his hand had already touched the door handle.

"Do you need a divination for you? Mr. Marquis?"

"I didn't bring any money, and I didn't get a single copper."

The door was opened, and the cold moonlight illuminated a leg stepping out.

"Free, I think...you really need to know about it."

Marquis Winston paused in his steps and looked back at Cross's face in surprise. The latter was still smiling, but her expression was slightly deeper.

"Okay, okay, let's give it a try. It doesn't cost any money, right?"

"certainly."

The Marquis took off his hat. There was nothing on it. It was pure black and could just cover half of his face. He put the hat aside, sat on a chair, and picked up a tarot card: "What should I do? ?”

"Just turn over an unturned card."

"How to turn it over?"

"As you wish."

Marquis Winston placed his right hand on the top of the pile of cards. After two seconds of silence, he withdrew his hand, chose to draw a card from the middle, and turned it over. He was stunned.

There's nothing on it, it's blank.

"I think... you know what a blank future means."

"Your divination is not as accurate as the legend says."

Lord Winston had already put on his hat.

Cross quietly looked at this guy who was almost emotionless. He was so cold-blooded, but the more so, the more heartbreaking it was.

"Townsend..."

"Mr. Marquis." Cross called him.

"This is just a future, a future of choice."

"I have no choice." The Marquis said coldly, looking at the blank card with disdain.

"Actually, no, I mean, why not try to accept the things that were once unacceptable?"

"for example?"

"Like, like delivering a letter?"

Marquis Winston replied without hesitation: "Impossible."

He paused for two seconds, the air was surprisingly quiet, and neither of them spoke.

"If this is destined to be my future, then so what. Compared to other choices, this is the most perfect ending." He looked at the letter coldly, his eyes surprisingly disgusting, "I can't even see that The words make me sick to the point of vomiting.”

Cross shook her head helplessly: "Good night, Mr. Marquis."

Marquis Winston did not respond, but opened the door and left in a hurry.

"well......"

Cross tore open the envelope and took out the letter. The logo of the August Empire was printed below.

After reading it twice, she still couldn't read a single word, so she simply put the letter on the table and prepared to read it again tomorrow.

The female soothsayer sat in silence for a while, then reluctantly sat down where the Marquis was sitting just now, and drew another card from the deck. As expected, it was still blank.

She turned over all the cards and was shocked to find that all the cards were blank.

It's late at night and it's time to sleep.

The light shines through the window and shines on the letter, illuminating only the name at the end.

Lucius Augustus.
