Split personality
Chapter 51 Arthur joins the team [2 in 1]
As soon as Su Mo said this, the four members of the Vicious Tooth Mercenary Corps were taken aback;
They were indeed curious about Su Mo and their purpose was correct, but they were just curious, not obliged to know.And they made up their minds long before they entered the wild swamp. No matter what reasons Su Mo gave, they would not change their original intention of leaving. This is why Arthur didn't ask.
Of course, Su Mo was willing to talk and they were willing to listen. After all, everyone is curious.
"Actually, we have only one purpose for coming here." Su Mo twitched his lips and said seriously, "That is... Hill's treasure!"
"what?!"
Jenny exclaimed, surprise written all over her face.
The other three were no exception, especially Arthur, whose expression was not quite different from Jenny's.In addition to being surprised, there was a bit of sharpness in the eyes, which Su Mo did not miss.
"This..." Jenny said in disbelief, "Are you crazy? How can such a legendary thing exist? Even if it exists, it is impossible to find it!"
"Yes, there is no 'Hill's Treasure' in the wild swamp!"
Arthur put away the complexities in his heart, and patiently persuaded, "The so-called treasure is just a rumor. If it really exists, how could the Wilfa family not find it for thousands of years? The country was destroyed a few years ago?"
Speaking of this, Arthur said helplessly, "Mr. Su, although I don't know why you insist on searching for 'Hill's Treasure', as the hired ones, I still have to advise you to give up as soon as possible! With the wisdom of you and Mr. Ghost Face And talent, getting ahead is a matter of time, why bother to risk your life for a 'treasure' that doesn't exist at all? It's not worth it at all..."
"some!"
Arthur was in the middle of speaking, but was suddenly interrupted by Nelson.
But seeing an abnormal blush on Nelson's face, his expression became extremely excited and excited, "It's calling me, I can feel it! The treasure left by our ancestors is inside!"
"ancestor?"
Arthur was taken aback for a moment and then surprised again. His eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "You, are you..."
"Nelson Wilfa."
Su Mo stared at Arthur and pointedly said, "He is the last survivor of the Wilfa family."
"Prince? You, are you His Royal Highness?!"
Nelson's identity is certainly shocking, but Arthur's reaction...is he too excited?
More than excitement?
After learning that Nelson was Prince Wilfa, Arthur even rushed forward, grabbed Nelson's shoulder, and checked repeatedly, "You are really His Royal Highness? Do you have any evidence?"
In Arthur's trembling voice, there was obvious shock and uncontrollable excitement. Not to mention Nelson himself, even Jenny and the three were frightened.
"Arthur, you..."
Jenny wanted to say something, but Arthur ignored him at all, still grabbed Nelson tightly, and asked about his identity again.
"me……"
Of course Nelson is Prince Wilfa, this is even admitted by the system, it cannot be faked.But Nelson was still frightened by Arthur's overexcitement. He "me" for a long time, but he didn't say anything, and immediately looked at Su Mo as if asking for help.
"Mr. Arthur, calm down first."
Su Mo glanced at the ghost face, motioned him to protect Nelson, and said calmly, "He is indeed Prince Wilfa, we don't need to lie to you about that. As for how to prove... Hehe, should you reveal your identity first? Woolen cloth?"
Even a fool can see Arthur's abnormality, and his identity must not be simple.But whether this 'not simple' is a good thing or a bad thing, Su Mo needs further confirmation.
"who am I?"
Arthur let go of Nelson's hand, and the gentle smile on his handsome and resolute face had long since lost a bit of bitterness and despair.
"My full name is Arthur Anderson."
Su Mo and others were still thinking, but Nelson's eyes widened in disbelief, "Anderson? You... are you a descendant of the Anderson family?"
The Anderson family, one of the four major families in the Kingdom of Wilfa, was of course from before the country was destroyed;
With the collapse of the Wilfa Kingdom, the so-called four major families naturally disappeared.The same treatment as the Wilfa family, the four major families are the pillars of the Wilfa kingdom. With the collapse of the kingdom, the blood of the family was also retaliated and hunted down by the kingdom of Interle, and very few survived.
Few does not mean none, and Arthur Anderson is one of them.
Arthur, like Nelson, is the direct blood of the family.When the Kingdom of Wilfa was destroyed, the Anderson family, one of the four masters, was duty-bound, and Arthur's parents, who were the masters, could not escape death.Like Nelson's father, Arthur's parents also used their last strength to send Arthur, who was only eight years old at the time, out.
Arthur was luckier than Nelson. In other words, although the four major families were also hunted down by the Kingdom of Interle, they were not royal families after all, and the hunt was not so intense.Not many "fish that slipped through the net" like Arthur survived, and their lives were not as hard as Nelson's.
Nelson's outspoken excitement also infected Arthur, but cautiously he still asked, "You said that you are His Royal Highness, do you have any evidence? For example...the royal court is pulling your fingers!"
The finger of the king's court symbolized the throne of Wilfa. As a legacy of the Anderson family, Arthur naturally knew this.
Hearing Arthur's questioning, Nelson immediately said with a sad face, "Wang Ting's finger was stolen! Huh... It's all my fault. I'm sorry to my ancestors, I'm sorry to the Wilfa family!"
"lost?"
After the excitement, Arthur had eight percent confidence in Nelson's identity.As Su Mo said, they have no reason to lie to him.However, when he heard the words "Wang Ting pulled his finger and lost", his face still showed some suspicion and hesitation.
"Not only is the ring finger lost, but someone is using Wang Ting's finger ring to pretend to be a prince."
Su Mo said, "That's why we venture into the wilderness swamp at this time of year... We not only want to find Hill's treasure, but also expose the fake prince's true colors."
In the end, Arthur still believed in the identity of Prince Nelson;
The reason is very simple. When the Wilfa Kingdom was destroyed, Arthur was eight years old and Nelson was five years old. Although they were not familiar with each other, they had met several times.Nelson racked his brains and finally recalled the common memories that belonged to the two, which made Arthur, who had already believed eight points, further confirm Nelson's prince status.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to be alive!" After confirming his identity, Arthur was more excited than before. "The surviving descendants of the four major families are waiting for you!"
The remnants wept in the dust, looking south to the king for another year; Nelson shouldered the burden of restoring the country, and spent 15 years trying his best, so why not the remnants of the Wilfa Kingdom?
You must know that after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, the "anti-Qing and restoring Ming" activities continued from the beginning of the Qing Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it was not only the Zhu family's lineage.Today's Wilfa Kingdom has only been destroyed for 15 years. How could a direct descendant like Arthur not have the idea of "restoring the country"?Now that he suddenly saw the last blood of the royal family, how could Arthur not be excited?
Arthur and Nelson "huddled together and cried" for nearly half an hour, and even Shi Xingze was deeply affected by the tragic mood.Look at that gnashing of teeth, as if he was the one who was wiped out.
Although the rest of the people were not as excited as Shi Xingze, they were also affected by their emotions...except for Su Mo and Ghost Mian.
After the excitement, Arthur bowed deeply to the three of Su Mo, and said seriously, "You not only saved the life of His Royal Highness, but also risked your life to accompany him into the wild swamp... Thank you so much, please pick up Arthur." Bless Anderson!"
Arthur's solemnity not only startled the three of Su Mo, but also made Nelson look embarrassed.
But Arthur didn't care about it. After thanking Su Mo and others, he immediately turned to Jenny and said, "Jenny, Xiaojie, Bian Long, I'm really sorry! There are unavoidable difficulties, but in the end I lied to you..."
"Captain, what are you talking about!"
Jenny giggled and said, "How many people who come to Robe City to be mercenaries are clean? No matter what your status is, you will always be the captain of our Vicious Fangs!"
Xiaojie and Bian Long hurriedly agreed, and Arthur couldn't be more moved.
"In any case, I can no longer serve as Captain Vicious Fang!"
Arthur said firmly, "I want to follow the prince to find the legendary treasure, and make my last contribution to the revival of the Wilfa Kingdom! Jenny, take Xiaojie and Bian Long away, and tell John and the others for me. Sorry..."
"If you want to apologize, you should say it yourself!"
Jenny curled her lips and said, "I'm also very interested in Hill's treasure, how about you two?"
Jenny's eyes were full of threats, Xiaojie and Bian Long trembled, and hurriedly expressed their views.
"You don't have to."
Arthur frowned and said, "It doesn't have to be for me..."
"It's not all because of the captain." Xiaojie smiled, "Since the day I became a mercenary, I have been determined to die."
"That's right!" Bian Long said eagerly, "This is the treasure left by the last demigod in the legend! I, Bian Long, are lucky enough to join, so how can I not see it with my own eyes? As long as I can see it, death is worth it Yes! If I miss this time, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life!"
Although the three said so, Arthur knew very well that the reason they stayed was because of him.While feeling guilty, I was more moved.
Su Mo didn't expect that things would develop to this point in the end.In this way, all the reasons he had thought up to persuade Fierce Fang were useless.
However, this is also good; after all, temptation is risky, and how can it compare with sincerity?
"Your Highness, did you just say that someone used your 'king finger' to pretend to be you?"
Arthur cared more about this than Hill's treasure.After all, if the treasure is gone, it will be gone. As long as the "incense" is still there, there is hope for the restoration of the country.If even the prince's status was stiffened by Li Daitao, it would be more unacceptable for Arthur than the shame of failing to restore the country.
Although Arthur's identity was unexpected, it was still within Su Mo's controllable range, and it was even a good thing for him and Ghost Face.
After pondering for a few seconds, Su Mo immediately said, "More than that, the fake prince also brought his companions to the wilderness swamp, and their goal is also 'Hill's Treasure'!"
"Is this the reason for you to venture into the wild swamp at this time of year?" Arthur's face became extremely ugly, "Damn it! If I had known you were His Royal Highness, I would have..."
Su Mo understood what he meant. If Arthur had known Nelson's identity earlier, he would have used his own method to gather all the real legacy of the Wilfa Kingdom.
"It's too late to say that now."
Su Mo was very calm, "What's more, treasure hunts are not so expensive. Sometimes there are too many people but it is a drag... Although the opponent is powerful, we also have our own advantages."
After finishing speaking, Su Mo glanced at Nelson, and Nelson hurriedly said, "Yes! The treasure left by the ancestors can only be opened by the real blood of the Wilfa family, and only I can perceive the exact location of the treasure! That damned Even if the thief has Wang Ting to pull his finger, it's useless!"
As long as they can find and get the treasure in advance, they don't even have to reveal the identity of the fake prince, and they can directly exchange military power with Queen Saiyan.
"Although the words are true, keeping fake princes is a hidden danger after all..." Arthur's face flashed a trace of cruelty, "We must find a way to get rid of them!"
Arthur's last words hit Su Mo's heart, he raised his eyebrows, and immediately said, "After all, they also entered the wilderness swamp, and it is unknown whether they can get out alive... In addition, our advantage is not only Nelson's perception of treasures, but also Get the upper hand."
Speaking of this, Su Mo smiled confidently, "It is imperative that I give them a 'gift'!"
With the support of the four of Arthur, it will be easier for Su Mo and Ghost Face to carry out their next plan.
It was still an employment relationship before, and it was inconvenient for both parties to talk about many things.Now it is different, now they are the real "grasshoppers tied to a rope", so there is no need to hide anything.
Especially Arthur, the Anderson family heir who has been in the wilderness and swamp for nearly ten years, gave Su Mo and the others a big gift directly!
"This is the map of the wilderness swamp..." Arthur suddenly took out an old parchment from his arms, and said cautiously, "The map of the inner domain!"
When they heard the word 'inner domain', everyone showed expressions of surprise and joy at the same time.
"Okay, captain! You have a map of the inner domain, but you didn't tell us!"
Jenny was obviously joking, but Arthur smiled wryly, "How dangerous is the wilderness swamp, how can you not know? With the strength of our ferocious teeth, there are only ten deaths if we rush in."
Arthur didn't say what happened next, but Jenny and the others understood it.Not only Jenny, but even Nelson understood, and his eyes couldn't help getting moist again.
"Your Highness, you don't have to."
Arthur continued to smile bitterly, "You bear the burden of revitalizing the Wilfa Kingdom, so why not me?"
The collapse of the Wilfa Kingdom is not only a disgrace to the Wilfa family, but also a shame to the four major families including Anderson.Although Arthur was only eight years old when the kingdom fell, he was still a subjugated slave.The kingdom of Wilfa cannot be restored for a day, and this shameful title will accompany him for a day... If Su Mo and the others don't show up, it may even accompany him for the rest of his life.
This map of the inner region of the wild swamp is not owned by Arthur alone, but by all the legacy of him and the Kingdom of Wilfa, who tried everything possible to get it.
After all, 'Hill's Treasure' used to be just rumors, but now it is the last hope to revive the Kingdom of Wilfa.And this is why Arthur has been staying in Robe City - this map is for himself and the rest of the legacy.
"Fortunately, fortunately, you are still alive! Fortunately, Lord Hill's treasure really exists..."
Arthur's map of the inner domain is not detailed, even very rough.Even so, the importance of the map to Su Mo and the others is still self-evident.
"We're in this position."
Su Mo pieced together the maps of the inner domain and the outer domain, and then simulated in his mind all their action routes since they entered the wild swamp.Finally, pointing to one of them, he said, "If we keep going, we will be in the territory of the iron lizard."
The iron-clad lizard is a descendant of the ancient ferocious ice-armored dragon; with Su Mo's strength, rushing in rashly is no different from courting death.
"Huh, luckily!"
Jenny shouted thankfully, "Fortunately, the captain took out the map, otherwise..."
Otherwise, they will avoid there with a high probability!
Of course, Su Mo didn't say this.
In fact, the ghost face has already detected the danger ahead, but it doesn't know that it is an iron lizard.The reason why Su Mo and Ghost Mian are said to be very powerful does not refer to their strength, but to their keen intuition and precise judgment and deduction ability beyond ordinary people.
Since entering the wild swamp, both Su Mo and Ghost Face have engraved all the dangers and routes they encountered along the way in their minds.
If Su Mo was given a piece of paper now, he would not hesitate to mark the route they traveled and the dangers around them.Coupled with Ghost Mian's addition, the map made by the two is by no means worse than the one known by Arthur and the others, and even more detailed.
The most important thing is that one of the two is responsible for exploring the path, and the other is responsible for derivation. While they are constantly revising, they also take into account the unique environmental changes of the wild swamp, including temperature, humidity, the intensity of poisonous miasma, and various poisons, etc. The details have derived a complex law and characteristics.
Therefore, when Arthur took out the map of the inner domain, Su Mo and Ghost Face immediately made a new copy.Afterwards, relying on their own deduction and guesswork, the two continued to verify and rest the uncertain guesses and hazy deduction in their minds one by one, and filled in the details on the new map... Half an hour later, a detailed report arrived. A heinous new map is born!
When Su Mo and Ghost Face drew the new map, they did not hide it from everyone, and Arthur and the others listened to their communication and analysis.
In the end, except for the bewildered Shi Xingze, the rest were all petrified;
"Pervert, two perverts..."
'Pervert' is not a good word, but what Jenny blurted out won everyone's approval.
"I finally know why I can't compare to you." Jenny smiled wryly at the face of the ghost who was still thinking about the map.
At first, when Ghost Face offered to replace her as a pathfinder, Jenny didn't take it seriously.But with the addition of the ghost face, Jenny has a new understanding of the profession of 'hunter', which seems to have opened the 'gateway to a new world'.
However, when she opened the door, she was shocked to find that there were many obstacles in front of her. Not to mention stepping in, she didn't even know whether to step "left foot or right foot".
At this moment, she clearly understood where the gap between herself and the ghost face was - not strength, but thinking.
It is said that 'genius is one percent of inspiration, plus 90.00% of sweat', at this moment Jenny finally understands that without that 'one percent', the remaining 90.00% of nine farts are nothing.
Jenny was beaten to pieces by the ghost face, and so was Arthur;
However, Arthur is a smart person, and he didn't feel frustrated because of this. Instead, he tried to deduce it along the line of thinking Su Mo had figured out.Although the deduced results may not be correct, at least getting new inspiration from Su Mo is enough for him.
After the two revised the re-engraved map twice, Su Mo took out another red pen, and then drew a few points on the route they passed, and said, "These are the places where Nelson sensed the most strong place."
Su Mo connected the five points with a pen, and then said, "Two points are the most sensitive, which are here and here. From this, it can be inferred that the real location of Treasure Hill...there is a high probability that it is in this direction!"
The Wild Swamp is so huge, it would be impossible to find a small treasure here without a specific location.This is also the reason why after thousands of years, countless adventurers entered the wild swamp, but no one found Hill's treasure.
But Su Mo and the others are different, they have Nelson;
With Nelson's induction, at least many detours can be avoided.Adding Arthur's timely map, Su Mo and Ghost Face immediately deduced the general direction of Hill's treasure.
"Uh... big, maybe?"
Uncertainty and panic were written all over Nelson's face.He couldn't even remember whether the five points marked by Su Mo were the places where he felt the strongest.
"Hey, don't care if he's right or not, don't you know after a while?"
Bian Long looked at it very openly, and immediately said carelessly, "It's easy to have smart people around, you are in charge of using your brains, and my brother and I are in charge of fighting!"
Shi Xingze immediately patted his chest and said, "That's right, it's on us!"
Su Mo didn't bother to talk to these two treasures. After planning the next route, he continued, "These are just speculations by Ghost Face and I. The so-called 'safe route' is only relative, and there is even a high probability that it is wrong. We still can't take it lightly! "
If Su Mo didn't say these words, the rest would understand.
However, the route marked by Su Mo still gave a shot in the arm to the restless crowd.After all, although they made up their minds to continue going deeper, their fear of the wild swamp did not diminish in the slightest, and everyone was even prepared to die.
At this time, the 'safety route' drawn by Su Mo was like a bright light in the fog.Not only pointed out the direction, but also illuminated their dark and dead hearts - this is the light of hope.
Just when the fighting spirit of the eight embarked on the journey again, a group of people headed by Chu Han, the fake prince, also followed Su Mo and the others into the wild swamp.
The barbaric swamp known as the 'Land of the Dead', for this powerful team that can only be described as 'luxury', can already be described as 'like entering no man's land'.
In spring and summer, the poisonous miasma that troubled the mercenary group the most was not a problem at all in the eyes of the undead priest Busa.
Every priest is a powerful apothecary, even the undead priest.The Xixiqiu Swamp where Busa lives is also poisonous miasma. Although it is not as good as the wild swamp, it is still not a problem for Busa.He didn't even need to make Miasma Repelling Pill, just one technique could keep all poisonous miasma out.
Compared with Su Mo and others who were cautious, this luxurious team went straight to the inner domain in the shortest straight-line distance as soon as they entered the wild swamp.
They also encountered various poisonous beast attacks and dangerous fortresses, but they still did not cause the slightest trouble to their progress.
For example, the Fire Poison Bee that made Su Mo and Ghost Face flee after hearing the news, even before Zhan Qingqing, a professional magician, could take action, Princess Ellie poisoned them all with a wave of her hand.
In addition to the powerful Busa and Princess Ellie, the team also has Huan Si, a great swordsman, and five players who have changed professions.Those dangerous areas that Su Mo and Xie Ya had to avoid were not a problem in front of them - they just ran over them!
Among the crowd, Chu Han was the most relaxed;
Although the 'artwork' created by Chu Han excitedly frightened everyone on the ramp, the identity of the 'Prince' is still 'unquestionable'.With this status, even if he wanted to make a move, Pastor Busa and Princess Ellie would not allow him.
Of course, the powerful luxury team appears to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact it is undercurrents;
Not to mention the irreconcilable conflict between Chiyan and Qingyu's two major mercenary groups, Princess Ellie and Great Swordsman Huansi also have ulterior motives.
Even Pastor Busa, who has always followed Chu Han's lead, is not clean...
They were indeed curious about Su Mo and their purpose was correct, but they were just curious, not obliged to know.And they made up their minds long before they entered the wild swamp. No matter what reasons Su Mo gave, they would not change their original intention of leaving. This is why Arthur didn't ask.
Of course, Su Mo was willing to talk and they were willing to listen. After all, everyone is curious.
"Actually, we have only one purpose for coming here." Su Mo twitched his lips and said seriously, "That is... Hill's treasure!"
"what?!"
Jenny exclaimed, surprise written all over her face.
The other three were no exception, especially Arthur, whose expression was not quite different from Jenny's.In addition to being surprised, there was a bit of sharpness in the eyes, which Su Mo did not miss.
"This..." Jenny said in disbelief, "Are you crazy? How can such a legendary thing exist? Even if it exists, it is impossible to find it!"
"Yes, there is no 'Hill's Treasure' in the wild swamp!"
Arthur put away the complexities in his heart, and patiently persuaded, "The so-called treasure is just a rumor. If it really exists, how could the Wilfa family not find it for thousands of years? The country was destroyed a few years ago?"
Speaking of this, Arthur said helplessly, "Mr. Su, although I don't know why you insist on searching for 'Hill's Treasure', as the hired ones, I still have to advise you to give up as soon as possible! With the wisdom of you and Mr. Ghost Face And talent, getting ahead is a matter of time, why bother to risk your life for a 'treasure' that doesn't exist at all? It's not worth it at all..."
"some!"
Arthur was in the middle of speaking, but was suddenly interrupted by Nelson.
But seeing an abnormal blush on Nelson's face, his expression became extremely excited and excited, "It's calling me, I can feel it! The treasure left by our ancestors is inside!"
"ancestor?"
Arthur was taken aback for a moment and then surprised again. His eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "You, are you..."
"Nelson Wilfa."
Su Mo stared at Arthur and pointedly said, "He is the last survivor of the Wilfa family."
"Prince? You, are you His Royal Highness?!"
Nelson's identity is certainly shocking, but Arthur's reaction...is he too excited?
More than excitement?
After learning that Nelson was Prince Wilfa, Arthur even rushed forward, grabbed Nelson's shoulder, and checked repeatedly, "You are really His Royal Highness? Do you have any evidence?"
In Arthur's trembling voice, there was obvious shock and uncontrollable excitement. Not to mention Nelson himself, even Jenny and the three were frightened.
"Arthur, you..."
Jenny wanted to say something, but Arthur ignored him at all, still grabbed Nelson tightly, and asked about his identity again.
"me……"
Of course Nelson is Prince Wilfa, this is even admitted by the system, it cannot be faked.But Nelson was still frightened by Arthur's overexcitement. He "me" for a long time, but he didn't say anything, and immediately looked at Su Mo as if asking for help.
"Mr. Arthur, calm down first."
Su Mo glanced at the ghost face, motioned him to protect Nelson, and said calmly, "He is indeed Prince Wilfa, we don't need to lie to you about that. As for how to prove... Hehe, should you reveal your identity first? Woolen cloth?"
Even a fool can see Arthur's abnormality, and his identity must not be simple.But whether this 'not simple' is a good thing or a bad thing, Su Mo needs further confirmation.
"who am I?"
Arthur let go of Nelson's hand, and the gentle smile on his handsome and resolute face had long since lost a bit of bitterness and despair.
"My full name is Arthur Anderson."
Su Mo and others were still thinking, but Nelson's eyes widened in disbelief, "Anderson? You... are you a descendant of the Anderson family?"
The Anderson family, one of the four major families in the Kingdom of Wilfa, was of course from before the country was destroyed;

The finger of the king's court symbolized the throne of Wilfa. As a legacy of the Anderson family, Arthur naturally knew this.
Hearing Arthur's questioning, Nelson immediately said with a sad face, "Wang Ting's finger was stolen! Huh... It's all my fault. I'm sorry to my ancestors, I'm sorry to the Wilfa family!"
"lost?"
After the excitement, Arthur had eight percent confidence in Nelson's identity.As Su Mo said, they have no reason to lie to him.However, when he heard the words "Wang Ting pulled his finger and lost", his face still showed some suspicion and hesitation.

Although the three said so, Arthur knew very well that the reason they stayed was because of him.While feeling guilty, I was more moved.

Although Arthur's identity was unexpected, it was still within Su Mo's controllable range, and it was even a good thing for him and Ghost Face.
After pondering for a few seconds, Su Mo immediately said, "More than that, the fake prince also brought his companions to the wilderness swamp, and their goal is also 'Hill's Treasure'!"
"Is this the reason for you to venture into the wild swamp at this time of year?" Arthur's face became extremely ugly, "Damn it! If I had known you were His Royal Highness, I would have..."
Su Mo understood what he meant. If Arthur had known Nelson's identity earlier, he would have used his own method to gather all the real legacy of the Wilfa Kingdom.
"It's too late to say that now."
Su Mo was very calm, "What's more, treasure hunts are not so expensive. Sometimes there are too many people but it is a drag... Although the opponent is powerful, we also have our own advantages."
After finishing speaking, Su Mo glanced at Nelson, and Nelson hurriedly said, "Yes! The treasure left by the ancestors can only be opened by the real blood of the Wilfa family, and only I can perceive the exact location of the treasure! That damned Even if the thief has Wang Ting to pull his finger, it's useless!"
As long as they can find and get the treasure in advance, they don't even have to reveal the identity of the fake prince, and they can directly exchange military power with Queen Saiyan.
"Although the words are true, keeping fake princes is a hidden danger after all..." Arthur's face flashed a trace of cruelty, "We must find a way to get rid of them!"
Arthur's last words hit Su Mo's heart, he raised his eyebrows, and immediately said, "After all, they also entered the wilderness swamp, and it is unknown whether they can get out alive... In addition, our advantage is not only Nelson's perception of treasures, but also Get the upper hand."
Speaking of this, Su Mo smiled confidently, "It is imperative that I give them a 'gift'!"
With the support of the four of Arthur, it will be easier for Su Mo and Ghost Face to carry out their next plan.
It was still an employment relationship before, and it was inconvenient for both parties to talk about many things.Now it is different, now they are the real "grasshoppers tied to a rope", so there is no need to hide anything.
Especially Arthur, the Anderson family heir who has been in the wilderness and swamp for nearly ten years, gave Su Mo and the others a big gift directly!
"This is the map of the wilderness swamp..." Arthur suddenly took out an old parchment from his arms, and said cautiously, "The map of the inner domain!"
When they heard the word 'inner domain', everyone showed expressions of surprise and joy at the same time.
"Okay, captain! You have a map of the inner domain, but you didn't tell us!"
Jenny was obviously joking, but Arthur smiled wryly, "How dangerous is the wilderness swamp, how can you not know? With the strength of our ferocious teeth, there are only ten deaths if we rush in."
Arthur didn't say what happened next, but Jenny and the others understood it.Not only Jenny, but even Nelson understood, and his eyes couldn't help getting moist again.
"Your Highness, you don't have to."
Arthur continued to smile bitterly, "You bear the burden of revitalizing the Wilfa Kingdom, so why not me?"
The collapse of the Wilfa Kingdom is not only a disgrace to the Wilfa family, but also a shame to the four major families including Anderson.Although Arthur was only eight years old when the kingdom fell, he was still a subjugated slave.The kingdom of Wilfa cannot be restored for a day, and this shameful title will accompany him for a day... If Su Mo and the others don't show up, it may even accompany him for the rest of his life.
This map of the inner region of the wild swamp is not owned by Arthur alone, but by all the legacy of him and the Kingdom of Wilfa, who tried everything possible to get it.
After all, 'Hill's Treasure' used to be just rumors, but now it is the last hope to revive the Kingdom of Wilfa.And this is why Arthur has been staying in Robe City - this map is for himself and the rest of the legacy.
"Fortunately, fortunately, you are still alive! Fortunately, Lord Hill's treasure really exists..."
Arthur's map of the inner domain is not detailed, even very rough.Even so, the importance of the map to Su Mo and the others is still self-evident.
"We're in this position."
Su Mo pieced together the maps of the inner domain and the outer domain, and then simulated in his mind all their action routes since they entered the wild swamp.Finally, pointing to one of them, he said, "If we keep going, we will be in the territory of the iron lizard."
The iron-clad lizard is a descendant of the ancient ferocious ice-armored dragon; with Su Mo's strength, rushing in rashly is no different from courting death.
"Huh, luckily!"
Jenny shouted thankfully, "Fortunately, the captain took out the map, otherwise..."
Otherwise, they will avoid there with a high probability!
Of course, Su Mo didn't say this.
In fact, the ghost face has already detected the danger ahead, but it doesn't know that it is an iron lizard.The reason why Su Mo and Ghost Mian are said to be very powerful does not refer to their strength, but to their keen intuition and precise judgment and deduction ability beyond ordinary people.
Since entering the wild swamp, both Su Mo and Ghost Face have engraved all the dangers and routes they encountered along the way in their minds.
If Su Mo was given a piece of paper now, he would not hesitate to mark the route they traveled and the dangers around them.Coupled with Ghost Mian's addition, the map made by the two is by no means worse than the one known by Arthur and the others, and even more detailed.
The most important thing is that one of the two is responsible for exploring the path, and the other is responsible for derivation. While they are constantly revising, they also take into account the unique environmental changes of the wild swamp, including temperature, humidity, the intensity of poisonous miasma, and various poisons, etc. The details have derived a complex law and characteristics.
Therefore, when Arthur took out the map of the inner domain, Su Mo and Ghost Face immediately made a new copy.Afterwards, relying on their own deduction and guesswork, the two continued to verify and rest the uncertain guesses and hazy deduction in their minds one by one, and filled in the details on the new map... Half an hour later, a detailed report arrived. A heinous new map is born!
When Su Mo and Ghost Face drew the new map, they did not hide it from everyone, and Arthur and the others listened to their communication and analysis.
In the end, except for the bewildered Shi Xingze, the rest were all petrified;
"Pervert, two perverts..."
'Pervert' is not a good word, but what Jenny blurted out won everyone's approval.
"I finally know why I can't compare to you." Jenny smiled wryly at the face of the ghost who was still thinking about the map.
At first, when Ghost Face offered to replace her as a pathfinder, Jenny didn't take it seriously.But with the addition of the ghost face, Jenny has a new understanding of the profession of 'hunter', which seems to have opened the 'gateway to a new world'.
However, when she opened the door, she was shocked to find that there were many obstacles in front of her. Not to mention stepping in, she didn't even know whether to step "left foot or right foot".
At this moment, she clearly understood where the gap between herself and the ghost face was - not strength, but thinking.
It is said that 'genius is one percent of inspiration, plus 90.00% of sweat', at this moment Jenny finally understands that without that 'one percent', the remaining 90.00% of nine farts are nothing.
Jenny was beaten to pieces by the ghost face, and so was Arthur;
However, Arthur is a smart person, and he didn't feel frustrated because of this. Instead, he tried to deduce it along the line of thinking Su Mo had figured out.Although the deduced results may not be correct, at least getting new inspiration from Su Mo is enough for him.
After the two revised the re-engraved map twice, Su Mo took out another red pen, and then drew a few points on the route they passed, and said, "These are the places where Nelson sensed the most strong place."
Su Mo connected the five points with a pen, and then said, "Two points are the most sensitive, which are here and here. From this, it can be inferred that the real location of Treasure Hill...there is a high probability that it is in this direction!"
The Wild Swamp is so huge, it would be impossible to find a small treasure here without a specific location.This is also the reason why after thousands of years, countless adventurers entered the wild swamp, but no one found Hill's treasure.
But Su Mo and the others are different, they have Nelson;
With Nelson's induction, at least many detours can be avoided.Adding Arthur's timely map, Su Mo and Ghost Face immediately deduced the general direction of Hill's treasure.
"Uh... big, maybe?"
Uncertainty and panic were written all over Nelson's face.He couldn't even remember whether the five points marked by Su Mo were the places where he felt the strongest.
"Hey, don't care if he's right or not, don't you know after a while?"
Bian Long looked at it very openly, and immediately said carelessly, "It's easy to have smart people around, you are in charge of using your brains, and my brother and I are in charge of fighting!"
Shi Xingze immediately patted his chest and said, "That's right, it's on us!"
Su Mo didn't bother to talk to these two treasures. After planning the next route, he continued, "These are just speculations by Ghost Face and I. The so-called 'safe route' is only relative, and there is even a high probability that it is wrong. We still can't take it lightly! "
If Su Mo didn't say these words, the rest would understand.
However, the route marked by Su Mo still gave a shot in the arm to the restless crowd.After all, although they made up their minds to continue going deeper, their fear of the wild swamp did not diminish in the slightest, and everyone was even prepared to die.
At this time, the 'safety route' drawn by Su Mo was like a bright light in the fog.Not only pointed out the direction, but also illuminated their dark and dead hearts - this is the light of hope.
Just when the fighting spirit of the eight embarked on the journey again, a group of people headed by Chu Han, the fake prince, also followed Su Mo and the others into the wild swamp.
The barbaric swamp known as the 'Land of the Dead', for this powerful team that can only be described as 'luxury', can already be described as 'like entering no man's land'.
In spring and summer, the poisonous miasma that troubled the mercenary group the most was not a problem at all in the eyes of the undead priest Busa.
Every priest is a powerful apothecary, even the undead priest.The Xixiqiu Swamp where Busa lives is also poisonous miasma. Although it is not as good as the wild swamp, it is still not a problem for Busa.He didn't even need to make Miasma Repelling Pill, just one technique could keep all poisonous miasma out.
Compared with Su Mo and others who were cautious, this luxurious team went straight to the inner domain in the shortest straight-line distance as soon as they entered the wild swamp.
They also encountered various poisonous beast attacks and dangerous fortresses, but they still did not cause the slightest trouble to their progress.
For example, the Fire Poison Bee that made Su Mo and Ghost Face flee after hearing the news, even before Zhan Qingqing, a professional magician, could take action, Princess Ellie poisoned them all with a wave of her hand.
In addition to the powerful Busa and Princess Ellie, the team also has Huan Si, a great swordsman, and five players who have changed professions.Those dangerous areas that Su Mo and Xie Ya had to avoid were not a problem in front of them - they just ran over them!
Among the crowd, Chu Han was the most relaxed;
Although the 'artwork' created by Chu Han excitedly frightened everyone on the ramp, the identity of the 'Prince' is still 'unquestionable'.With this status, even if he wanted to make a move, Pastor Busa and Princess Ellie would not allow him.
Of course, the powerful luxury team appears to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact it is undercurrents;
Not to mention the irreconcilable conflict between Chiyan and Qingyu's two major mercenary groups, Princess Ellie and Great Swordsman Huansi also have ulterior motives.
Even Pastor Busa, who has always followed Chu Han's lead, is not clean...
