Chapter 227 Cursed Book and Treasure Map
[The remaining pages of the Curse of Disaster]
grade:???
Effect:???
Introduction: A broken page of unknown origin will bring bad luck to the holder. It seems to hide a deep secret, waiting for others to discover it.
…
At this time, it had been exactly half an hour since Muchen walked out of the territory of the Black Vulture Chamber of Commerce.
Black Eagle's estimated time is correct.
As expected, the con artist's one-time prop he used only lasted half an hour.
When the time comes.
The disguise effect on [Book Page of the Curse of Disaster] disappeared, revealing its true form.
Muchen was shocked at first when he saw this thing, and then a look of excitement appeared on his face.
It seems that today is his lucky day!
Not only did he first get clues to the treasure of the great thief Skeleton King, but he also got the remaining pages of a mythical prop—the Cursed Book—by a strange combination of circumstances!
This is really...
Muchen couldn't help laughing.
This move startled Irving on the side.
He was in a daze at the moment, and was in a state of excitement and confusion about the future.
By accident, Muchen was startled.
Fortunately, when he saw clearly that Muchen was smiling, he thought that Muchen was looking forward to the beautiful life after finding the treasure.
Owen couldn't help but fantasize about the scenery, dignity and grandeur he would have when he returned to his hometown in fine clothes.
At the beginning, he left his hometown and his wife.
I vowed to create a new world.
But he didn't expect that after many years, he would become such a despicable person.
Nowadays, I finally have the opportunity to realize my dream.
How could he not be happy.
Owen also laughed along with Muchen.
On the endless desert, two figures, Muchen and Owen, one tall and one short, were laughing wildly.
…
Half a while passed.
Muchen and Owen ride yellow camels.
Back at the Sand Market, the guards patrolling nearby saw Muchen and immediately stepped forward to surround him.
The leader of the guard captain cursed and said: "Asshole, damn guy, you dare to kill people in the Sand Market, are you crazy?"
Muchen was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly: "How much money can we pay to settle this matter?"
The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay, how dare you use money to corrupt our pure and proud hearts! Please come here, please come to my office, let's talk in detail!"
Muchen said: "I still have something to do, so let's talk about it here."
"One hundred thousand gold coins, no two prices!" said the guard captain.
Muchen said: "It's too expensive. It's just a few lives. You charge me 100,000?"
"Brother, this is already the market price. You have violated the laws of the Sand Market!"
"Cheaper, otherwise, just catch me. The price in the prison is much cheaper than yours."
"No, then you make a price!"
"Fifty thousand gold coins!"
"This is too little, please give me more. You see, I have so many brothers, and these 50,000 gold coins are too little. They are not even enough!"
"Sixty thousand, any more is impossible!"
"Okay, but we can let you go, but the chamber of commerce to which you killed those caravan guards probably won't let you go."
"Which chamber of commerce are they from?"
"It seems to be the Golden Scorpion Chamber of Commerce."
"Golden Scorpion?"
Muchen recited the name of this chamber of commerce in his mouth. He seemed to have heard of it before, but he didn't seem to have it.
There are hundreds of chambers of commerce in Sand Market, large and small.
There are some that Muchen has never heard of, which is normal.
Take revenge, take revenge, he won't be afraid.
After successfully entering the Sand Market, the first thing to do is to retrieve the treasure map that Owen has hidden.
He hid the treasure map in the oasis lake in the center of the Sand Market.
The predecessor of Sand Market was just an unknown oasis town.
It gradually developed due to the trade route leading to the Elf Kingdom.
In the center of the Sand Market, there is a larger lake, blue and deep.
Arriving at the lakeside, Goblin Owen glanced around furtively and saw that no one was paying attention.
He tore off the rag-like clothes on his body, revealing his naked, dirty and thin body, and jumped into the lake.
Sinking to the bottom of the lake.
It can be seen that Owen's swimming skills are quite good.
moment.
Owen emerged from the water, with a palm-sized stone in his hand, which looked no different from any other ordinary stone.
But this stone actually has another mystery.
The stone can be opened and hollowed out, revealing a treasure map folded into small squares.
Owen handed the treasure map to Muchen like a treasure.
Muchen took it and used his omniscient eye to check it. It was no different from the [Treasure Map of the Skeleton King] sold in the grocery store.
Muchen couldn't help but ask: "Is this true?"
"It's absolutely true! I swear in the name of my ancestors..."
Owen swore.
Muchen said dissatisfied: "How many years have your ancestors been dead? If you want to swear, you must also swear on your own soul!"
Owen smiled awkwardly and said: "Sir, you have to believe me. Based on my many years of map-making experience, this treasure map is most likely to be true!"
"possible?"
Muchen said calmly: "So, you can't be sure whether he is true or not?"
Owen was silent for a moment and said: "Indeed, I can't be 100% sure, but I am 90% certain that this is true!"
Muchen murmured: "Ninety percent?"
"Your Excellency Chen Chen, what do you have to hesitate about? If the treasure map is fake, you and I will just travel in vain. If it is true..."
Owen's tone was full of temptation.
Muchen asked a strange question: "Owen, what do you think would have been your fate if I hadn't saved you today?"
Owen was startled and replied: "Beat to death or locked up in prison."
"Why are you in jail?"
"Hey, actually I still owe a lot of money to the gambling house. If I can't pay it back, I'll have to go to jail to eat."
Owen scratched his head in embarrassment.
Even if he hadn't been beaten to death by those caravan guards today, he would have been imprisoned until his death for not paying off his gambling debt!
A thoughtful expression appeared on Muchen's face.
After a moment, Muchen nodded.
Agree to this treasure hunt.
Seeing Muchen agree, a smile appeared on Owen's face.
However, Muchen still has a problem.
"Where did your treasure map come from?"
Owen explained.
When he was young, he left his hometown and went to work outside. Owen was a goblin with ideas. He did not switch careers like businessman, mechanic, alchemist, etc. like other goblins.
Instead, he chose a profession that seemed quite tasteless—cartographer!
Owen was thinking at the time that if he could join an adventure group and follow the adventure group to explore several ruins and dig out some treasures, he would soon be able to earn enough money to return to his hometown in glory.
