Release that Witch - Chapter 1079

[Chapter 1057 Ancient Treasure]

Graycastle… King!

Lorenzo couldn’t help but tremble all over.

The man who jumped from an unknown border lord to the ruler of Graycastle in just a few years, his reputation is known to everyone in the church.

No information could explain why he could rise so quickly, and even the Holy City of Hermes, which was about to unify the continent, was defeated by him.

Lorenzo was able to make a decision so quickly and resolutely break off with the church, largely because of Roland Wimbledon—in his eyes, the church and Graycastle had already forged an eternal enmity. If you still claim to be a bishop, you may suffer disaster at any time. If you don’t take off your priestly robe now, how long will you have to wait?

It’s just that the other party has just ascended the throne not long ago, and his attention should be on his own territory. Now that he suddenly intervenes in the border between Chenxi and Langxin, and makes it known to everyone with great fanfare, his purpose is very interesting.

“Are you sure?” the count looked at Hagrid, “tell me the details!”

“There is absolutely no question about the credibility of this news, and it has been confirmed by many parties,” the latter vowed, “First of all, the troops stationed at the foot of Cage Mountain are from Graycastle, and their attire and appearance are exactly the same. It looks like a weird army. Secondly, all places in Dawn have received calls for death row prisoners, not only in the Cage Mountain area, but also some people say that the object they serve is the King of Graycastle!”

“Cage Mountain…Death prisoner…” Lorenzo took two steps back and forth, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, “Could it be that he came here for that thing—”

“Very likely, my lord,” Hagrid nodded back, “no… it should be said, it must be so.”

“But how did he know this?”

“It’s not surprising that he knew it. The people who discovered the ruins at the beginning were just lucky. I always thought that those ruins didn’t exist in isolation, and there might be some kind of connection between them before—and Roland happened to be in the middle of all the ruins.” in front of people.”

Even though the church was unable to figure out the exact reason for the rise of the four princes of Graycastle until its demise, there were several theories circulating inside.

Aside from nonsense such as the incarnation of gods and the spokesperson of the devil, there is an explanation that has many believers: that is, he has obtained an inheritance from a certain relic, and has since mastered incredible power.

Even if the three major bishops dismissed this statement, many believers believed that this was the truth of the matter, and Lorenzo was one of them.

Otherwise, why should the other side be above the holy city?

And when it comes to Cage Mountain, the most incredible relic is the Temple of the Cursed.

Back then, the God’s Punishment Army swept across the entire Wolfheart Kingdom with thunderous momentum. The Wolfheart nobles either died in battle or surrendered. Even the Queen of Clear Water and the Wolf King couldn’t stop the Church’s attack.

As the former bishop of Grand Duke Island, he participated in most of the logistics and sweeping work, sending the plundered materials to the front line or storing them in a unified manner.

And during an operation to search for the precipice, he happened to learn about this hundred-year-old legend——

According to legend, a group of villagers smuggled a batch of treasures from the cursed temple in Cage Mountain, and then died one after another, and the treasures also fell into the hands of local nobles.

The ancestors of the Earl of Cliff Ridge were very interested in this, thinking that it was not the curse that caused all this, but something to do with the things brought out, so after spending a lot of time and energy, they bought back some treasures from Chenxi.

After some research and at the cost of more than ten lives, the old earl did find a different artifact—it looked ordinary, but it could produce deadly light. Its effect was very similar to that of a curse. Call it an invisible weapon that kills people!

It’s just that after using it a few times, it no longer responded, as if it had exhausted its power, and turned into a dead object.

Although the old earl sent people to the border to explore many times, and even ventured into the temple himself, he still couldn’t find a way to restore it.

So he wrote this past event into his family history, hoping that future generations can find the answer, and that strange object was kept as a family heirloom, and it didn’t change hands again until the precipice was conquered by the church more than a hundred years later.

Although this thing aroused Lorenzo’s interest at the time, the “no more movement” mentioned in the family history is also true. After fumbling for a while and still finding nothing, he packed up the treasures and threw them into the warehouse, intending to wait Centralized disposal in the holy city.

After all, not everything recorded in the family letter is the truth—the aristocratic families boasting of long bloodlines and amazing wealth are everywhere. If all of them are believed to be true, how could the Church be so easily wiped out by Langxin and Yongdong?

However, following the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Cold Wind Ridge, the good situation of the church took a turn for the worse, and the seized supplies became uninterested, so he also put the matter behind him.

Now that the butler mentioned it, Lorenzo suddenly remembered it.

If the Lord of Graycastle also came to curse the treasures in the temple, then its credibility would be greatly enhanced.

The Earl couldn’t help getting a little excited, “Go on!”

“Yes, my lord.” Hagrid nodded his head and said, “Assuming that Roland Wimbledon got the news of the treasure from other ruins, then he is very likely to know the working principle of the treasure, and even the method to restore it. If we can Finding out this information is equivalent to having a guarantee that can replace God’s Punishment Warrior.”

That’s right, a weapon that unleashes curses!

Its deterrent power will definitely deter wolf-hearted nobles, and Grand Duke Island will also buy more time to find the whereabouts of the Holy Code.

Lorenzo stomped his feet, “Follow me to the material warehouse, now!”

“grown ups?”

“I have to make sure that thing is still on Grand Duke Island—since it is so important, it can no longer be guarded by ordinary guards.”

…

In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Lorenzo took the housekeeper to rummage in the material warehouse for most of the day.

After eating a stomachful of dust, he finally found the packed bag of “treasures. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com” in an inconspicuous corner

And the Earl was glad that he didn’t call a third person to help.

Opening the mouth of the burlap bag, he noticed the strangeness of the “treasure” at a glance.

Compared with the luminous beads, exquisite statues, etc. found from the relics, it is as simple as a stone-the outline is square, the length and width are no more than a palm, and the surface is extremely rough, even if it has been polished twice. Granite is smoother and more beautiful than it.

If it weren’t for some sapphire stripes inlaid on it, I’m afraid no one would want to bring it back.

It was indeed mentioned in the family letter of the Earl of Cliff Ridge that the cost of acquiring it was the least among all the “treasures”.

But now, a square stripe on the stone is slowly flickering, a soft blue light rushing from one end to the other, as if indicating the direction.

The two looked at each other, and they showed ecstasy at the same time!

The stone that hadn’t responded for nearly a hundred years unexpectedly changed, just as Roland’s hands appeared in the Temple of the Cursed again. It would be unbelievable to say that the two have nothing to do with each other.

If the words just now were just guesses, then after seeing this scene, the possibility has become nine out of ten!

Roland has indeed mastered the method to recover it!

“You have to go to Cage Mountain.” Lorenzo carefully carried the stone into his arms, “I don’t worry about anyone else except you. You need as much money as you want, as long as you can find treasures Use the intelligence to do it.”

“I understand, please rest assured, my lord.” Hagrid replied, rubbing his chest.

“There is one more thing you need to keep in mind,” the earl urged word by word. “You must not attract the attention of the King of Graycastle. Since he can destroy the church, it is no different from crushing an ant to death. Unless the treasure If you can show the strength to counter it, otherwise you must act in secret… The safety of Grand Duke Island is entrusted to you.”
