Chapter 1060 Chapter 291. Puzzles and Treasures
Passers on the street avoid it with fear. They didn't know Annan, but that didn't stop them from being afraid of the uniform Annan was wearing.
Annan glanced around. In order, they had to find the marks of lions, snakes and badgers to find the location of things.
He asked the bakery aunt who was worried because no customers dared to come because he was standing here: "Have you seen the 'Lion'?"
"I don't know... ”
"The lion could be a painting, a doodle," Annan added.
"I don't know..."
"Maybe it's a person whose nickname is Lion..." Annan reminded.
The bakery aunt, who is similar in stature to Aunt Susan, expressed her grievance: "I don't know what a lion is."
"Uh. It's just..."
Annan took out paper and pen drawings and showed them to her.
The bakery aunt shook her head. At this moment, Terry ran in and said: "Master Olmei, I saw a snake!"
"Are you sure?"
"Well! This season, it shouldn't be a coincidence. ”
Annan was about to follow Terry away, but the bakery aunt suddenly exclaimed: “Are you Mr. Olme?”
"What's wrong?" Annan turned around.
"We have all heard the story of how you destroyed the Blade of Freedom and brought peace to the new capital... This is for you, it's still warm!" The excited bakery aunt wrapped a large piece of white bread To Annan.
"This..."
Annan didn't know what to say.
The new kings are the foundation of the kingdom, and they will definitely do their best to slander the Blades of Freedom. It is not surprising that the common people would have this understanding.
It was all done well by Barr...
Annan had no choice but to accept the gift from the bakery aunt, and came out with Terry holding a bag of bread.
"There..."
Terry pointed to a stopped truck, which contained goods sent in from outside. A snake tail like a hemp rope poked out from under the tarp. .
That was indeed a snake, but what about the lion? Did they accidentally find the lion, or did they jump over it?
"Sir, the truck is moving..." Terry reminded in a low voice.
Looks like just a coincidence, unless... the mysterious man is nearby.
Is the mysterious man a mage from the prophecy school?
Annan asked the uneasy businessman: "Do you have badgers here?"
"No...no, if you need..."
"No need, you can go." Annan waved.
Terry came over again: "Sir, do you need to follow him?"
"No, he probably doesn't know anything."
No need to be a professional, A pickpocket can stuff a snake into a van.
Gather his subordinates together and tell them their guess: "If the mysterious person is nearby, then we will pretend to be the people who help Babatado."
This is not easy, after all, the new king is spreading rumors that Babataud's arrest is closely related to Olmei.
However, as long as the mysterious man gives him a chance to speak, Annan is confident to explain clearly.
"Got it?"
"Got it."
"We're going to pretend to help uh-"
Terry quickly covered Martin's mouth, and Annan gave him a thumbs up.
Badgers have a distinctive appearance that makes them easy to identify. And just in case, what Annan and Martin said was: "If you see a mouse, let us know."
Eagles, lions, and snakes are all on this street, and badgers should be about the same.
They searched half the street along the outer wall of the street, and Martin found the "rat".
"You really guessed it..." Annan said modestly: "I just know Martin."
The badger's hiding place is in a dark alley, with graffiti on the wall and running towards the depths of the alley.
It is said to be a puzzle, but in fact it is a test of observation ability.
Annan looked in the direction of the badger towards the end of the alley, where there was an iron gate nailed shut by wooden boards, stained with rust, and covered with footprints and urine stains.
Annan asked his men to drive away the homeless people who were hiding and peeking outside the alley, pry open the wooden boards, and open the dusty iron door.
The cold wind poured into the house first, lifting up the falling dust.
Terry was the first to walk in with an oil lamp and check around.
Behind the iron gate is an ordinary abandoned house with no windows and a thick layer of dust everywhere. The only clean things are Terry who walked in and a wooden box on the table.
Terry picked up the wooden box and returned to Annan.
“It seems that this is what Baba Todd said can save him.”
Annan took the wooden box, which was only the size of a jewelry box, thought about it, and opened it.
There is no magnificent light or unknown curse, just a fist-sized withered fruit lying calmly at the bottom of the box.
“Oh——” Martin exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Annan looked sideways.
"It's broken." Martin said, pointing to the withered fruit.
Annan slapped Martin's hand away and asked his men, "Do you know what this is?"
Unfortunately, Annan's men also inherited his knowledge and knowledge, and none of them knew it.
Annan had no choice but to temporarily cover the wooden box and take it back to the Purification Court.
Everything went well on the way, but Annan still climbed to the tower and said to the little bat: "Check if anyone is following us."
The magic halo enveloped Annan and dissipated after a few seconds.
"No one dares to mess with you." Little Bat said.
“Look at this.”
Annan opened the wooden box with confidence: “I just got it, do you know what it is?”
Staring at the withered fruit , the little bat let out a soft cry and stretched out his hand, but Annan dodged it in advance.
Kyle was annoyed that he was too obvious, and tried without giving up: "I have to touch it to know what it is."
"Come on, what is this?"
"Okay...it is the fruit of corruption, the highest level potion of the necromancy system."
"You said it is a potion? "
"Who said potions must look like potions?"
"But it's all rotten..."
"Shh..."
Kyle tried to cover Annan's mouth: "The treasure is spiritual, and it will run away when it knows you said this..."
Annan was doubtful: "So this is A good thing?"
"A well-deserved good thing! Don't you feel a trace of death, because only the top alchemists in Wilhelm can refine it... This one can be exchanged. An arcane energy core!" Little Bat looked sighing, but then shook his head: "But it can't be used by living people, it can only be used by lichs."
"What's the use of it?"
"Throwing it into the phylactery can turn the lich into the undead."
Annan didn't ask such stupid questions as "Isn't the lich just the undead?" After all, the Skeleton King Leonifer is his. ally.
Liches are undead, but undead are not lichs.
A lich is a spell caster who gives up his life for eternal life and actively transforms into an undead. In this state, in addition to the immortality of their phylacteries, lichs also lose most of their emotions and consciousness.
The undead are not necessarily the same. Some skeletons are greedy for alcohol, and some zombies are covered in rotten flesh and still want to fall in love.
Why would the mysterious man give something like Baba Todd? He also said that he could save his life... Could it be that he was resurrected after Babatado died?
