Chapter 710 The Temptation of Star Stone (2/2)
The arrow tip is very short, similar to the sewing needle, and the force is not very strong, and it has almost no direct lethality. At most, it only makes people lose their skin. Its greatest power comes from the anesthetic snake venom stained on the arrow tip.
Naturally, Link and the other two were immediately hit, each of them was shot with an arrow on their necks, and then they fell to the ground in a "difficult" manner.
After more than ten seconds, three guys in gray-black leather armor emerged from the bushes. The man walking in front was holding a metal crossbow bow in his hand. The crossbow was stringed and pointed directly in Link's direction, probably just in case.
"You guys come on, unload their weapons!" The man waved to the two people beside him, and the crossbow in his hand was still pointing at Link and the other two.
The two thieves ran up quickly and searched Link and the other two's bodies, and found three daggers, an ordinary steel sword, a crossbow, some valuable gadgets such as silver rings, jade necklaces.
"That's all." said a thief.
The leading thief turned his head and looked at the things on the ground. He looked up and down at the three of them, and smiled on his face: "I'm very young and strong in shape. It can be considered a deal for warriors. I'll make a profit from this ticket. Go and search their bags immediately."
"Okay." The two thieves responded, ran to the side of the war horse happily, untied their bags and started to check. At first glance, the three of them were soldiers, and there must be a lot of good things in their bags.
As he was checking, a thief suddenly screamed, and the little leader of the thief shivered and almost shot out the crossbow arrow in his hand. He was surprised and asked anxiously: "What's going on?"
"Head, look, look, there is something good!"
The thin thief turned around and held a statue of a war horse in both hands. No, to be precise, half of the war horse statue was cut off by someone. The broken edge was smooth, and it was obvious that it was cut with a sharp weapon.
What attracts is the material of this war horse statue, translucent and emitting a crystal and warm light throughout. It makes people look at it and involuntarily want to hold the war horse tightly in the palm of their hands, gently caress it, and never let go of it for the rest of their lives.
Seeing this half of the statue of the war horse, the three thieves stared straight, and with a 'gulp', swallowed, and then stared blankly, as if they were stupid.
How could there be such beautiful gadgets in this world? This is definitely a priceless treasure.
After five or six minutes, the thief leader rushed forward, took the bag on the horse's back, wrapped the statue up, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"This thing must be very valuable, it is definitely a priceless treasure!" A thief muttered, staring at the package in a daze. Although he could not see the gem statue, he was relieved to be able to see the package.
"Head, what should I do with this thing?" asked another thief, his eyes flashing with an unknown light.
The little thief leader is most familiar with this light. In the past, if they accidentally get any valuable things, they will secretly ignorant and use them to exchange them for money, and then the three brothers will squander together.
If they could sell this gem statue, they would probably have no worries about eating, drinking, and having fun in their lives.
But this time, the little thief leader did not respond. He was silent. Deep in his heart, of course he wanted to ignor the gem, but there was another voice telling him that this thing was too valuable and too hot. Once the news was leaked, they would probably lose their lives.
Is life important or money important?...Anyone who is a little rational knows how to choose.
After struggling for a quarter of an hour, the thief leader gritted his teeth and said, "We can't eat this thing, we are afraid that we will spend money in the end. If we hand it over, the commander will definitely reward us heavily."
Although the two thieves were unwilling to accept it, they subconsciously shivered when they thought of Syndicate's cruel punishment methods.
"Head, let's listen to you."
As soon as he made a decision, the little thief leader's mind became much more active. He said, "These three people have to be brought back to the commander. There is only half of the statue, and they must know the clues of the other half."
"Head, you're talking about it."
The three thieves did it as soon as they said that they could do it. They moved all the three people on the ground to the horse's back and tied them tightly. Then they saw that there was still some broth in the iron pot, so they sat down and drank the broth all over, and then led the horse and walked along the path next to the avenue into the depths of the woods.
As we walked through the woods, the trees became denser and denser. As we walked, the trees began to become sparse after about ten kilometers. A river valley appeared in front of us. From a distance, you can see a castle in the valley.
This is a stronghold for the syndicate here.
Three thieves led their horses toward the castle and arrived at the gate of the river valley. The bushes on the side of the road moved slightly. A young man wearing black leather armor and agile figure walked out. He looked at the dizzy Link on the horse's back and frowned and said, "Why did you bring outsiders in?"
Only the Syndicate thieves knew about this secret stronghold. The slaves they usually harvested were dealt with and sold outside and would never be brought into the stronghold because this would expose the stronghold. Syndicate did not like to expose himself to the sun.
The little thief leader nodded and bowed: "Yam, we got real good things this time and we have to hand them over to the commander."
"Hmm? Good stuff?" The thief showed disdain in his eyes. These three guys were not capable and had no ability. They were only at level 2. They could only capture those lonely merchants as slaves. What good stuff can they get?
The little thief leader picked up his bag and walked over, lifted it a little, revealing the gem statue inside.
"Hiss~" Just one look, the thief Yam took a breath, and his eyes became different when he looked at the little leader: "It's really a good thing, I'll take you to see the commander!"
He had never seen such a gem, but he could feel the aura of power emitted from the gem, and his appearance was extremely extraordinary and extraordinary, so the commander would definitely like it.
He turned around and led the way, and said as he walked, "You three guys are really lucky. They actually bumped into such a good guy. This time they will definitely get a lot of rewards."
"Hehe, brother Yam, I will never forget your part." The little leader smiled apologized. There was no way. At this stronghold, his strength and status were not as good as this Yam. He would not be able to bow his head.
"Then you are really interested, haha." Yam was very happy.
The group led the horse into the castle wall, which was a yard inside. Here, Link and the other two, who were still confused on the horse's back, were removed and caught in the underground cell. The thief Yam continued to lead the three thieves into the castle hall.
The hall is very spacious, with a huge statue on the front. On the statue is an image of a strong middle-aged man, with a face covering and a dagger inserted on each side of his legs. The entire statue is usually hidden in the shadows, and the body details are very delicate. From a distance, it seems that there is really a thief hiding in the darkness and will jump out at any time.
This statue is Mophis, the shadow walker.
In front of the statue, a figure surrounded by black aura and could not see the specific face was standing in the shadow. A faint red light emitted from his eyes. When he stared at the four people walking into the hall, the four people suddenly felt that they were being targeted by a poisonous snake, and they all shivered.
"What good news did you bring to me?" The man spoke, his voice very hoarse. When it echoed in the hall, it seemed like a poisonous snake whispering in his ear, making his hair stand on.
"Commander, the three of them caught the three merchants and got this accidentally." Yam took his bag, walked forward, and respectfully handed it on.
The commander took the bag and opened it to see it. He suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, and the dark hall also lit up a lot, as if a star had fallen into the mortal world.
"This statue...this gem...this gem...this star stone!" The commander couldn't help but exclaim, his breathing was rapid. He was aware of the goods!
Star stone.
Level 16 Astrological Meteorite.
Description: The appearance is as bright as stars. After mixing it with pure gold, the weapon created is invisible and shadowless, and will not reveal any breath. It also has almost perfect demon-breaking attributes, and is the first choice for assassin's weapons.
(Note: There is only one star in the world, and the rest will surely die.)
While admiring, the commander suddenly asked, "Why is there only half? What about the other half?"
Such priceless treasures will never be too much. As long as there is a slight chance to get more, he will not miss them and will try his best to seize them!
Judging from the broken opening of the statue, it was broken by someone with a knife. Judging from the broken opening, it is still very fresh. It should have been broken recently. As long as there are clues, you can definitely find the other half.
Yam hurriedly replied: "This gem was found from the merchant's luggage, and when it was found, it was only half a piece. Commander, would you bring them here?"
Before the commander could answer, he suddenly heard a "buzz" sound coming from behind him.
Everyone looked at it and saw that the eyes on Mophis' statue suddenly lit up, showing dazzling blood light, and at the same time, endless pressure came down.
Four thieves in the hall immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to show up.
Mophis monitored the mental state of his high-level believers. Once there was a violent fluctuation, he could sense it immediately. Now the commander suddenly felt ecstasy, and his attention was projected through the statue to see what happened.
As a result, he saw the Star Stone.
Recently, Mofez always feels something is wrong, and he feels a sense of crisis. In order to protect himself, he has been building powerful weapons for himself, but unfortunately he has too few materials on hand and has not been able to do it.
The appearance of the Star Stone was like a traveler in the desert who suddenly saw an oasis, which immediately made Mophis excited.
With the Star Stone, he can definitely create half of the top holy artifacts of thieves!
All the thieves present heard a voice in their minds: "Take this star stone and the three mortals to me, and I will interrogate them personally! The speed is fast! Send it here immediately!"
