"Sir Ackerman, I sincerely apologize to you. What do you need?" Norton asked proactively.
He was frightened by the beatings, especially the initial blow from Ren, whose terrifying destructive power made him terrified.
If the werewolf incarnation hadn't endured most of the damage, he might have been killed directly.
Ren rubbed his wrist, looked at Norton expressionlessly, and said calmly: "I heard that you are a tomb robber. You should have some good things."
Norton is a fourth-level [Arch Druid] who claims to be an explorer, Feng Shui expert, and archaeologist...but in fact, he is just a grave thief.
With a sneer, Norton rubbed his hands and said, "Mr. Ackerman, you don't know something. After I was promoted to the fourth level, I came to Farolland and no longer engaged in archaeological work.
Most of those treasures were sold to raise resources for promotion, and the rest were given to the royal family to support charity."
He was able to reach the fourth level from an ordinary person by finding a new way, engaging in great archaeological undertakings, adding a little luck, and accumulating enough wealth.
Ren pondered for a while, knowing that he was most likely not lying. Since being promoted to the fourth level and becoming a noble, Norton has stopped his noble archaeological career.
He didn't want to make progress, he changed women more diligently than he changed clothes, and he cared for himself almost every day. His romantic affairs spread throughout the whole city of Wilton.
"I think your life is valuable. Take it easy and estimate the price for yourself." Renn suddenly laughed and said in an inexplicable tone.
He believes that even if most of the underworld weapons on the other party... well, most of the cultural relics have been handed over to the state in exchange for this ridiculous dukedom, there must still be one or two precious private collections!
Looking at Ren's "warm and sunny" smile, Norton was horrified and subconsciously defended: "Well, my life is not worth it..."
"Isn't it worth it? I think you should think about it carefully. You should be confident as a person, and you must not belittle yourself." Ren tilted his head and said with a smile.
After saying this, he shook the arm holding the knife, and a ray of cold light from the blade reflected on Norton's cheek.
Norton's heart skipped a beat and he groaned secretly. He looked hesitant and didn't know what to do for a moment.
He didn't want to be blackmailed, but he was also afraid that the other party would really kill him regardless of the impact.
Ren looked at the moon in the sky and pretended to sigh: "I wonder when I will see such beautiful scenery again."
Shivering, Norton made up his mind and took out a strange piece of jade from the storage ring.
It is as big as a chicken egg, its body is as red as fire, its pattern resembles some kind of bird, and its wing-like pattern is lifelike.
The jade is crystal clear and smooth in texture, emitting wisps of orange-red light, illuminating the surrounding corner.
Ren's eyes were filled with surprise. He didn't know what this was, but after being enveloped by the light of the jade, the energy of the stars in his body fluctuated slightly, and he soon returned to calm.
"The remains of the sun come from a damaged secret realm and are of little use to ordinary extraordinary beings.
But for those who possess attributes such as flame, brilliance, and scorching heat, it is a priceless treasure, which is enough to sublimate the spiritual essence in the body to a higher level." Duke Norton explained with a bitter tone.
He held back the feeling of heartache and handed the thing to Ren, who looked surprised.
"What a treasure." Ren couldn't put it down and touched the jade in his hand, feeling very good.
Judging from the reaction of the energy of the stars in his body, this thing may not be of much use to him, but it is very important to his future happiness.
Norton's face twitched when he heard this, and he felt very sad. If he hadn't been able to use the sun's remains, he wouldn't have been willing to give it away.
"Is it a Hades weapon? Where did you get it from?" Renn stared at Norton with a burning gaze and asked with a smile on his face.
People light wax, ghosts blow out lamps... He suddenly found that a door to a new world was opening to him.
I was filled with annoyance. I was so focused on making war fortunes that I wasted money on dead people... ahem, I was forgetting the great cause of archeology.
Archaeologist Norton shook his head slightly and explained: "It's not a cultural relic. 32 years ago, I got a treasure map. After a year of searching, I finally found a treasure map near the Lamasu River in the Kingdom of Cassevia.
Treasure chest.
That treasure chest has been buried in the ground for more than 1,600 years. It contains some gold and silver jewelry, the most precious of which is this jade.
According to records, the Phoenix Secret Realm has long been destroyed, and for certain extraordinary beings, the remains of the sun are now extremely precious materials."
Speaking of this, Norton felt heartbroken. This was a retreat he had specially left. Now, it would be an advantage for others.
He knew that even if he didn't take it out, Ren would search for his storage ring. Apart from the 800 gold coins in his ring, this was the only thing that was really valuable.
Ren touched his chin and asked with a smile: "The remains of the sun should have an effect on improving the power of the sun's flames, right?"
This is a great gift, she will definitely like it.
Norton hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly: "The spiritual energy of Sun Flame is already at an extremely high level, and the extent of improvement may not be too great."
He originally thought about selling it to the Nokman royal family, but in the end he felt guilty because the treasure chest was originally left by a member of the royal family.
Seemingly thinking of something, Ren's eyes narrowed: "Is there anything special left in the box? For example, some information?"
After hesitating for a moment, Duke Norton turned pale and said softly: "I'm not sure whether it's true or not, but the owner of the treasure chest carved a message in the chest.
Asmodeus, the king of the Dark Tribe, secretly made an appointment with David, the king of the sun, in the secret realm of Phoenix.
No one knows what they talked about, and the result..."
As a result, the Phoenix Secret Realm was destroyed, and a huge secret realm with a radius of nearly a hundred miles completely disappeared.
"Is this a deal?" Ren said to himself.
Asmodeus, the king of the Dark Nether Tribe, is obviously stronger than Ander, the Bone Lord, and Vladimir, the Lord of the Sirius Tribe, and also stronger than Samael of the Soul Fire Tribe.
As if he had thought of something, Norton was sweating on his forehead, his teeth were chattering, and his fearful look made Renn curious.
"You seem to know some secret?" Renn stared at him.
Seeing that he remained silent, Ren put the knife on his neck.
Norton trembled and said in a trembling tone: "As far as I know, the Sun King has never appeared again since then, and he seems to have died.
But Asmodeus appeared in the Fourth Age, and he is still alive."
Ren sneered: "You mean, the Sun King was killed by Asmodeus?"
He didn't think that the Dark Lord was capable of this kind of thing. If he was really that strong, he wouldn't be able to fight in the Dawn War.
Norton lowered his head slightly and said softly: "At that time, the Sun King was already old."
