I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 279 Studying the Black Stone

"Do you think this battle is too simple?" When Julian returned, the battle was over. The girl in black armor was wiping the blood on the long sword, and the old man in red robe closed his eyes to rest. It consumes a lot, and a qualified mage should restore his magic power immediately after the battle.

Julian crossed the wreckage-filled battlefield and told what he had heard from Barry. The others listened carefully, especially Tom, who was trying to remember who that Master Abel was.

Abel is a very common name, look for it according to the name, I don’t know how many people in Canai Harbor have this name, and there are even more outsiders, but if you add the restriction of being powerful, The number of people was reduced by half at once.

Tom thought of Barry's rampant appearance just now. Given the status of the Dragon Mercenary Group in Canai Port, he could be treated so flatteringly by the head of the Dragon Mercenary Group. That person could only be the son of the deputy head of the Angel Mercenary Group. · Slan.

"What is the origin of this Abe Slan?" Julian knew almost nothing about Canai Port, so he directly asked his doubts.

The old man who had kept his eyes closed for a long time also opened his eyes and looked through. He also wanted to know this person who tried to buy the map by force and hired someone to attack them.

Tom organized the language and introduced Abel's situation.

To put it simply, this is a typical rich second generation. His father is the deputy head of the Angel Mercenary Group, and the Angel Mercenary Group is the undisputed number one mercenary group in Canai Port. Roma is a tenth-level golden knight, also known as the king of angels and the king of mercenaries.

Abel's father followed Jerome for many years. He worked too hard when he was young and hurt his body. He gave birth to this son when he was close to 50 years old.

Being old enough to make him spoil his son to the sky, Abel naturally developed a playful temperament. He didn't bully men and women on weekdays, but...

Tom hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should speak or not.

Julian glanced at him and reminded: "Speak out if you have anything else, lest we make wrong judgments."

Tom nodded and said: "Alright, actually there are some rumors about Canai Port, they are all about Abel, for example, he is cruel, greedy, and even killed some people for certain things, etc., but the rumors are also It's just rumors, I haven't heard of any real evidence."

"I don't think Tom, you are definitely not the kind of person who speaks without evidence. I think you should have some experience?"

"That's right." Tom frowned: "I once knew a family of blacksmiths. The youngest daughter of the blacksmith was a very beautiful girl. For a while, I happened to be on a mission and went far away. When I came back, the blacksmith's family moved Gone. According to their neighbors, it seems that the youngest daughter was taken by a young man named Abel, and the blacksmith didn't want to marry his daughter. Later, Abel came to the door, and then the blacksmith's family probably couldn't bear the disturbance, so they moved away like this gone."

The black-armored girl suddenly interjected: "That's it? At most, that Abel is more domineering, right?"

"But the problem is... I have a very good relationship with that blacksmith. If he leaves, it is impossible not to leave me a message, and... I was suspicious at the time. I climbed over the wall and entered their house at night, maybe It's been a bit long, and there are no traces in the room, but it's because it's too clean, which makes me feel more and more wrong."

"Why?" the black-armored girl asked with a frown.

Tom glanced at the black-armored girl. In the battle just now, the black-armored girl was quite brave, especially her black long sword. Even he felt a little uncomfortable with the bloody smell from her black long sword, but the girl was stunned. He slaughtered so many people with that sword, and his face didn't even change. Unexpectedly, he was unexpectedly inexperienced in this area.

Julian explained for Tom: "Generally, when people move, they will leave some fragments, which can't be so clean, not to mention that the blacksmith's family can be said to be forced to leave by Abel, and it is easier to leave a lot of things in a hurry. .”

The girl in black armor suddenly realized: "So, someone cleaned that place specially."

"Yes." Julian continued to guide her to think: "Then you said there is no reason, why would someone clean up there?"

"To cover up certain traces!" The black-armored girl immediately came to a conclusion.

"That's right." Tom said, "So, I suspect that the blacksmith's family may have suffered misfortune. In Canai Port, I think that Abel may not be that capable."

"Are you implying that the mercenary king has made a move?" the black-armored girl said in shock.

Tom was speechless for a moment, and the old man in the red robe said with a smile: "He should mean that Abel's father cleaned up the traces for him."

The black-armored girl seemed a little embarrassed, and Julian felt a suspicious pink appear on her cheeks.

Fortunately, the few people at the scene were more gentlemanly, and no one laughed at the little girl because of this kind of thing.

"Let's go." The red-robed old man stood up from the ground and patted the dust on his body: "This young master Abel has a good father, but unfortunately, he didn't do what a good father should do."

Julian heard that the old man was implying that the deputy head was so busy wiping his son's ass, but he didn't educate him well. As a father, he was undoubtedly negligent of his duty.

Julian still remembered that he had seen some news about bear children on TV before. At that time, his parents made a comment and warned himself that if they raised a bear child in the future, the two of them had to give themselves It’s impossible to have a mixed doubles meal; the other side is mocking those parents. If you don’t educate your children well, sooner or later someone else will help you educate them. It’s hard to say what the result will be.

Julian thought it was right, no, this young master Abel kicked the iron plate.

Based on his act of hiring someone to sneak attack them, the old man would not let him go. He would probably call the door after the matter was over. His own child was being bullied by others, and he couldn't bear to leave him alone.

Following the traces left by Catherine and the others, the group quickly chased to the vicinity of the cave.

The entrance of the cave is very hidden, just behind a vine, and the entrance is so narrow that only an adult can enter it sideways.

Julian and the others did not enter directly. The entrance was so narrow that it was most suitable to set up an ambush inside. Tom asked a few words at the door in a low voice, and only after hearing Woody's voice did he let the others follow him in.

"How? Solved?" Woody seemed a little surprised. He probably thought that they could come back, but he didn't expect them to come back so soon.

"Hmm." Tom didn't explain that the red-robed old man was a seventh-level magister, and since he didn't intend to say anything, he wouldn't reveal anything.

Woody was also knowledgeable and interesting, so he didn't continue to ask, but just led them forward quickly.

The interior of the cave is quite spacious, and you can feel the width increasing from the entrance more than ten meters away.

Woody walked in the front with a torch, and some other people took out lighting tools, and the cave was still relatively dark.

While no one else was paying attention, Julian quietly touched the wall. There were obvious traces of excavation here, but the traces were a bit weird. He touched...why did it look like claw marks?

Could it be that some kind of monster opened up this cave?

Julian didn't understand and continued to think about it. The space in front suddenly opened up. Everyone had already arrived at a fairly spacious hall. The people of Gale Wolf were holding torches to surround the hall to light up, while Catherine looked through the hall obsessively. Looking at a few stones in the center of the hall.

"Amazing, amazing!" Catherine's eyes were full of obsession, and her saliva was about to flow out, as if those in front of her were not dark stones, but stunning handsome men.

Seeing this, the old man in red showed a kind smile, his eyes seemed to be remembering something, the girl in black armor was still taciturn, but Julian noticed that her eyes were quite active, at this moment... a bit like life is impossible. love.

"What is she doing?" Julian asked the Woody leader.

The corner of Hu Di's mouth twitched: "I don't know. After she came in, she saw those stones and it became like this."

Julian couldn't help but glanced at those stones. The light here was not bright at all, and the stones were pitch-black. At first, he really didn't see anything, but after watching for a while, he suddenly felt a Silver flashed across the stone.

At first he thought he had read it wrong, and he watched it for a long time, but he didn't see Yinsi. Just when he was about to give up, Yinsi flashed past again.

"Huh?" Julian was sure that he was not mistaken, he thought for a while, and then slowly approached those stones.

The red-robed old man and the black-armored girl immediately noticed his actions, but they didn't stop them.

As Julian walked, he observed the reactions of the others—mainly the old man in the red robe. When he realized that the other party had no intention of blocking them, he let go and walked in front of the black stones.

Only then did I realize that these stones looked dark from a distance, but when you walked in, you would find that there were many sunken lines on these stones, and a ray of silver light continued to run along these lines, repeating itself.

"What is this?" Julian looked and looked, confirming that he had never seen or heard of this weird material.

He stretched out his hand to touch the stone, the stone was very hard, and it was a bit cold, if he put his hand on for a little longer, there would be a coldness trying to invade his body along his fingers.

Catherine was still obsessed with watching the stone, and did not answer Julian's question.

Julian simply studied the stone himself.

When he was learning life skills, he was instilled with a lot of basic knowledge by the system. After such a long period of application, he is quite proficient in potions and magic circles.

The potion was temporarily unavailable here, so he tried to interpret these depressions by means of magic circle runes.

It was not smooth at the beginning, the lines were messy, and the starting point could not be found. The runes are composed of basic lines, and there is a big difference between one more and one less. I want to find out its meaning from this chaotic lines. It's just too difficult.

After a long time, Julian didn't get any results. Just when he wondered if this thing was some kind of brand new text, the silver streamer just passed in front of Julian.

Ok?

Julian was stunned for a moment. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that he had already passed through here once when he got the streamer just now.

Because there are many lines on the stone, he has always been a streamer who can walk completely along the depression, but just now, he found that the streamer has repeated the previous path, and it is impossible to walk the entire distance in such a short time. dented.

That said, the streamer hasn't gone all the way through the recesses.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Julian's mind. Could it be that the lines that the streamer has passed are the effective lines, and the ones that have not gone are superfluous for camouflage?

No... don't want to talk.
