Tyrant Code

Several people looked at the black cloth bag and fell silent for a while.

"That's really something." Sai Lun muttered to himself, and began to take off his coat.

Gordon: "What are you going to do?"

Sai Lun: "Go down and get things. Someone has to go down the well to get things up—I'm the only paladin here, so I should be the one going down."

Rhine was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to stop him: "But, we don't know what dangerous things are inside...Your Highness, please don't move. Let me go down instead."

Sai Lun turned around, looked Rhine's skirt up and down, and asked with some doubts: "Are you sure?"

Rhine rolled up his sleeves, exposing his white arms, and said as a matter of course: "After all, I am also a dark wizard, and it is safer than you to touch these things that have something to do with black magic—" He guessed his own skirt, His feet tilted and he almost fell.

Sai Lun couldn't bear to look directly at him: "...just forget it."

"Okay, stop arguing." Gordon sighed, picked up the well rope on the ground, wrapped it around his waist, and tied a firm knot, "I'll go down."

Yatrixia turned her head back, stopped the argument between Sai Lun and Lein with a look, frowned slightly, and agreed: "Go."

Rhine: "Let Goldo go? But he—" But he looks like a delicate and noble young master. Being gifted with magic doesn't mean having a strong body.

But in the next moment, Rhine saw Gorduo turn over and go down the well easily, climbed the stone with water droplets, and fell to the bottom of the well lightly and quickly.

The movements are vigorous and skillful.

Rhine: "..."

But this is not the first time Goldo has given him a fright.So Rhine quickly accepted the reality.He was lying on the edge of the well, with a little halo in his lake green eyes, and said: "Be careful, don't touch that thing directly with your hands." Then, he rummaged through his belt He took out a small bottle and gently threw it down to Gordo, "Go on! Sprinkle some on the cloth bag first."

Goldo reached out to catch the silver vial he dropped, looked up and asked, "What is this?"

Rhine: "Holy water I bought from a black market dealer."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone involuntarily cast surprised glances at him.

"... Someone stole the holy water from the church, you must be too courageous." Sai Lun said, clutching his forehead.

"Holy water is very expensive. But there is no way, research is needed. Just like witch hunters also have many dark magic books and black crystals." Rhine sighed, "When I fail to study black magic, I will use holy water Neutralize the remaining potion. Because the residue left by a failed potion is also very dangerous. Among other things, the purification ability of holy water is unparalleled, and it can clean up the residue of potion."

"That's a way." Yatricia affirmed, and as he spoke, Gordo at the bottom of his well nodded.

Gordon then sprinkled the holy water in the small silver bottle on the black cloth bag.

There was not much holy water in the silver bottle, only a few large drops, but the moment it touched the cloth bag, it evaporated into water vapor, making a "sizzling" sound.

"...there is indeed black magic on it." Rhine frowned, and supported the edge of the well with both hands, "But just this little holy water can't completely purify it."

"If the black magic above is unlocked, will the plague in the village disappear immediately?" Goldo asked prudently.

Rhine shook his head: "No, if the problem really comes from the well water, then the illnesses of the villagers did not develop overnight, but accumulated little by little with the intake of well water... Directly removing the black magic on it can indeed Stop new diseases, but it is impossible to make people who are already sick get better immediately. I have to study this black magic before I can find a way to eradicate the disease."

Sai Lun: "So, we can't touch this black thing at all now?"

Goldo: "That's not necessarily true. It's just a touch, and it shouldn't be too eroded."

Sai Lun: "Why don't you use the purification technique again?"

Goldo: "It still works? I just evaporated all the water. The black magic on this thing is very powerful, and it cannot be removed by a simple purification technique."

If Gordo protected himself with dark magic, he would not be hurt.

But he can't use dark magic now.

Atricia stood by the well in silence for a moment, frowning slightly, took off the white gloves on her hands, threw them to Gordo, and said: "Use this."

Goldo took the gloves—it was a pair of white silk gloves, soft and close to the skin, and one could imagine how flexible the fingers were after wearing them.

There seemed to be some warmth on the gloves.

Gordo turned the glove over and found a magic rune embroidered with silver thread on the inside, and suddenly found that it was a pair of gloves with protective magic.

"Hurry up." Seeing Gordo clutching the glove in a daze, Atrichia reminded, "The water is getting more and more overflowing."

Gordon put on his gloves and untied the black cloth bag——

The splendor of gold and precious stones was revealed.

This is actually a whole bag of gold and silver treasures.

From Gordo's point of view, none of these things, large and small, are treasures that can be bought in the ordinary market.Whether it is the color, texture, or workmanship style, they are extremely delicate and dazzling, which can be called a treasure.

And the most priceless is one of the golden crowns.There are eight facets, and the crown is decorated with a delicate cross, above which hovers a bright red ruby, and dozens of round pearls and gemstones in blue and green hues are set in it.It looks magnificent, but also has a dignified and awe-inspiring look.

... It is no exaggeration to say that it can be directly used in the coronation ceremony of the king.

"They actually hid a crown." Gordon twitched his eyes and shook his head slightly.

He raised the crown cautiously, raised his head and asked Sai Lun: "Recognize it, is this your family's crown?"

Sai Lun was also startled at first, then took a closer look, shook his head and said, "We, Archide, don't use such a crown."

Gordon looked down for a while, looking at the ridiculously large pigeon blood red on the crown.The red color of this gem seems to flow in a transparent crystal, as if it is about to flow and burn at any time.

He looked at the bottom of the crown, the hollow gold leaf seemed to be connected with some pattern.

...is a golden iris.

What are you doing?

The iris is obviously the symbolic flower of the Celanca Empire.

Could this crown still be lost by the royal family of the Celanka Empire?Traveled across the ocean and got lost here?

Gordon couldn't figure it out, so he had to put away the crown and other belongings first, and climbed up to the ground with the rope.

"Teacher." Goldo put the crown on the grass, took off the gloves and returned them to Atricia, and called, "Come and see."

Atricia approached, looked at it carefully, and said thoughtfully, "This crown doesn't look like Archide's style."

Gordon nodded, pointing to those exquisite golden irises patterns: "Do you think it may come from our Celanca Empire?"

Atrium: "Although the style is similar, the crown used by the Celanca Empire is not like this anymore." He pointed to the red pigeon blood on the crown, "And now His Majesty the King doesn't like red—all Rubies are not allowed in the crown. Even if there are, they are ordered to be replaced with other gems."

"Is it possible that this crown belonged to the king in the past? I remember that the symbol of the golden iris flower has been used by Selanka for hundreds of years." Sai Lun touched his chin and said, "Speaking of rubies... I I seem to remember, there seems to be a king in Selanka who loves rubies."

"The Emperor of Glory, Gerald." Gordon nodded.

To be honest, with the size and weight of this ruby, it is inlaid on the crown like this. Apart from being eye-catching, it is also eye-catching, and even a bit disregarding the sense of design.

"Emperor of Glory" refers to King Selanka who reigned about 100 years ago.His Majesty the King was born in troubled times, and because of his powerful talent for light magic, he almost held the power of the Holy See in his hands for a time.Although he centralized power, he was also known for his wise politics... It is a pity that he died too early and did not leave much influence on the Celanka Empire.

Someone once speculated that if the king lived ten more years, even the political structure of the Western Continent would be changed because of him.

There is still a lot of gossip surrounding this "Glorious Emperor".One of them is that he is so obsessed with rubies that he once made people set a very precious ruby ​​on the crown.But after the mosaic was finished, I was reluctant to wear it, so I kept it in my collection, but others didn't know where the king's private collection was, so the unknown legacy of the "Emperor of Radiance" became a topic that people talked about. rumors.

"Regardless of whether this is the legacy of the Emperor of Radiance or not... this thing is lingering with dark magic, it's absolutely true." Rhine said helplessly.

No matter how valuable this crown is, it is now something that can kill people if touched.

"Who threw these things in the well -- I think that's what we're going to investigate," Salem said.

"Those who drink the well water are infected with the disease. I don't believe that those who have touched the crown will have no symptoms. Unless they know in advance that there is black magic on the crown, but this is unlikely." Goldo He looked up and asked Rhine, "Who is the first sick person in Linbian Village?"

"...Two young men!" Rhine whispered, "A pair of brothers named Rodney!"

Gordon was silent for a while, and asked tactfully, "Are you still alive?"

Rhine also paused and shook his head.

"I still have a breath before I leave. As for now... I'm really not sure."
