Chapter 1684 The Cellar of Zhuyan Town
A spar lamp was held in the air. Ruola stood in front of a mural that had long since faded, looking at the ancient traces on the wall. After inquiring, Alice and the others also learned that there were ancient relics in the residents' cellars. After asking for help, the residents allowed them to enter their cellars because they were only women and teenagers.
Fuz was sandwiched between the two girls. He stretched his neck to squeeze in, but he couldn't understand what was on the wall and was not interested. He rolled his eyes and smiled evilly. His arms gently wrapped around the waists of Ruola and Alice, groping their bodies.
Alice asked: "Ruola, is this an ancient site in Phoenicia?"
Ruola shook her head: "I can't be sure. After the destruction of ancient Phoecanica, the desert The subsequent dynasties were influenced by the Phocanian culture, and there were inheritances and similarities in murals, books, clothing, texts, etc. It is difficult to make a preliminary judgment based on this uncolored mural. ”
Jennifer added later: "Actually, similar murals and monuments like this are not uncommon in the desert. Even if it is from Phoenicia, it may not mean anything."
Alice felt a thick A hand on the fur came up to her chest and hit the back of his hand hard.
“Ouch, sister Alice, your spanking hurt me.” Fuz withdrew his hand, rubbed the back of his left hand which was red from the beating, and kept blowing on the red mark.
Ruola then realized that Fuzzy's hand had just touched the underside of her fur, and she blushed silently, feeling quite embarrassed.
Alice snorted: "Next time you touch it randomly, it won't be so gentle. Ruola, let's see what else is nearby."
The cellar was not big, and there was a lot of food piled up. I took a quick look at it, and there was nothing noteworthy. Several people crawled out of the deep cellar, and happened to encounter a conflict with some people on the street.
I didn’t see the cause of the conflict. I only saw four or five people lying on the ground groaning in pain. One of them was standing with two swords in his hands. One was ordinary and a bit incomplete, and the other was The sword body is made of crystal iron, exuding blue-white fluorescent light, and the sword body is translucent. You can tell it is a rare treasure at a glance.
This brown-haired man in his thirties was wearing a long gray warm robe. He threw away the inferior iron sword in his hand and inserted the sword into the scabbard with his backhand.
"That's wrong, that's our sword. Don't even think about leaving..." A man who was knocked down struggled to get up and reached out to take back the sword, but was kicked away by the opponent.
The brown-haired man in his thirties held the hilt of the sword: "Is this yours? Didn't you sand bandits steal it from others?"
Another sand pirate got up and said angrily: "Fart, we picked this sword from a corpse, not snatched it. Return it to us quickly!"
The endless desert of forgetfulness, I don’t know how many heroic bones have been wasted. Some were buried by the wind and sand, and some were exposed by the wind and sand. It is common to encounter one or two corpses and pick up some valuable objects.
The brown-haired man said: "Since you picked it up, it's not yours. Besides, we have a bet. If I win, this sword will be mine."
The robber He was so angry: "You... you are unreasonable. We will only fight you if you have to find fault with us. You... you are just robbing us! You are a robber!" He couldn't reason, so he could only blame The other party robbed.
The surrounding residents burst into laughter, holding their chests and watching the excitement. No one wanted to get involved in the trouble of this fight between outsiders. It is also common for sand bandits from nearby areas to occasionally come to Zhuyan Town for repairs.
The brown-haired man ignored them and turned to leave. But the four sand thieves were unwilling to give in and summoned the guardian monsters to regain the sword.
The residents shouted angrily: "Hey, you guys, please don't summon monsters here, okay? What if we destroy our houses and shops?"
Usually outsiders Sand bandits don't dare to mess around in Zhuyan Town. Many residents in the town have experienced sand bandits and are all good players. But that sword was extraordinary, and several people vowed to snatch it back, but they couldn't care less about it.
At this moment, a man in a red leather robe jumped down from the air, shouting: "Come on, come on, do you want to fight? Come and fight with me." He held two hands in his hands Two silver and black long-handled axes, one for each axe, severely injured the two monsters. The two axes were swung with such force that the sand thieves did not dare to approach.
Alice had seen this man with an open red leather robe. When they dined in a restaurant before, there were two tables of guests, and this man was sitting alone at a table.
"What, are you scared?" The man in red robe put the bloody axes on his shoulders and looked at the four sand thieves provocatively: "Those who bully the weak and fear the strong are justified when they rob others. Now they deserve to be robbed by others. "
"You...you wait with me, we will settle the debt sooner or later." Seeing that the two people in front of them were not easy to deal with, the four sand thieves summoned the guardian and ran away.
The brown-haired man who snatched the sword said to the man: "Thank you, help me."
The man in red robe rubbed his nose and smiled: "Hey, it's nothing, look. Your skills can also deal with them. I just have itchy hands and want to do some exercise after eating. Brother, how about you accompany me to the outside of the town?"
"This..."
< br>
The man in red robe suddenly shouted and jumped up: "Oh~!"
The brown-haired man was surprised: "What's wrong?" The man in red robe scratched his head and regretted: "I didn't ask any more questions, so they ran away. "
The brown-haired man asked: "What do you want to ask?"
"Hey, they are sand pirates. I want to ask them how to find Hayate. ." said the man in red robe.
The brown-haired man narrowed his eyes: "Are you looking for Hayate? Hayate from the Hayate Thieves Group?"
"Yes, do you know him?"
The brown-haired man shook his head, Question: "Why are you looking for Hayate?"
"Of course you want to join the Hayate theft group." The man in red robe said excitedly: "My biggest wish in Dallas is to join the Hayate theft group. group, and then follow them around the world to steal treasures. Hahahahaha... It’s interesting to think about it!” (See Chapter 1048 of Volume 7.)
The brown-haired man said: “The leader of the Gale theft group. Sometimes they appear in the east or north of the desert, but I just came from the north recently and have been looking for the Gale Thief Group, but I haven't found them."
Dallas was surprised: "Oh, you are also looking for Hayate? What are you doing?"
The brown-haired man smiled softly and said: "The purpose is the same as yours."
Dallas put both axes on his back He turned back behind him, clapped his hands and jumped up: "Hahahahaha, it turns out you are also going to join Jiji It's from the Feng Thief Group. Great, let's go together. "
"Visaji Ryder" (See Volume 10. Chapter 1545. )
After the two got to know each other, they left talking and laughing. Seeing that the excitement was no longer frightening, the residents dispersed. Alice had heard about Gale and knew that he and her master Bing Zhixie were members of a mercenary group. She muttered, "I didn't expect that so many people wanted to join the Gale theft group. Aren't they just sand thieves?"
Jennifer said: "The Wind Thief Group is different. They only steal in most cases, and rarely hurt people when robbing. I heard that they have a high degree of freedom internally. For some sand thieves with a bottom line, , the Gale Thieves are a very attractive team. "
Fuzi suddenly jumped out and hit his palm with his fist: "Okay, I have decided. The Demon King Fuzi will set up the Demon King Thief Group, defeat the Gale Thieves Group, and accept them as his younger brothers. . Hahahaha, I, the Demon Emperor, am the most powerful robber. ...Ouch, it hurts. Aunt Jennifer, why are you hitting me on the head..."
"You kid, just daydream." Jennifer hit her angrily: "Also, Don’t call me aunt, do I look young?”
< br>"Ah yo~! Yes, Sister Jennifer..." Fuzi jumped forward with his head in his arms, and suddenly turned around and made a face: "Aunt Jennifer, Grandma Jennifer, urrrulu... you come and fight. Me." He turned around, patted his butt, and ran away quickly.
……
The three teams met in the center of Zhuyan Town. Tyson had already talked with the mayor of Zhuyan Town for a long time, learned about some of the customs and customs of this place, and learned that there was an ancient cellar underground in Zhuyan Town. Immediately ask the mayor to let them go down and take a look.
After hesitating for a while, the mayor agreed, saying only: "There is a passage in the cellar that leads to Zhuyan Peak behind me. The top of Zhuyan Peak is where the town residents hold wind burials. It is a very sacred and solemn place, and outsiders must not go up through the passage."
Tyson said: " Since it is local custom, we will never force it. "
The mayor asked them to take a bath before entering the ancient big cellar. The mayor said that the big cellar is connected to Zhuyan Peak. This is the place where the deceased passes when they ascend to heaven, so it needs to be kept clean and the dirt on their body is washed away.
No one is unusual in this regard. It must be the cultural tradition of this place, and we should maintain the necessary respect. There is an undercurrent not deep underground in Zhuyan Town. There is a public bath beside the underground river with very clear water. After bathing here, Tyson and everyone went down to the large cellar deep in the town, led by the mayor and the town guard.
The cellar is very large and has many artificial traces. Judging from the layout, it must not have been used as a cellar before. The brick walls in the cellar are very old, and there are some patterns on the walls, but they are very worn and weathered. This will inevitably happen if it is used as a cellar for a long time.
Tyson shook his head. He was half an expert on cultural relics and archeology, so it was difficult for him to see anything about the current state of preservation. There are compartments in the cellar, and another isolated area leads to the Pillar Rock Peak. Tyson and the others did not go in, but took a look inside with a crystal lantern. The general situation was similar to that of a cellar where food is stored.
Coming out of the big cellar, everyone seemed a little disappointed because there was no unexpected harvest.
The mayor wore a blue robe and white fur, with a white turban and a golden headband on his head. He ordered the town guards to lock the cellar and said to them: "It seems that there is no one who can help you. I'm busy. If you don't mind, let me entertain the guests for a night's rest in the town."
Tyson declined: "Thank you again for the mayor's enthusiastic help. We can just go back to the airship and rest. , maybe we can leave in the middle of the night.”
"It seems that you are all very busy people, so I won't keep you here." The old mayor nodded to them and left.
