Chapter 17 The Secret of the Crystal Pendant
Chapter 17 The Secret of Crystal Neck Pendant
Schwab sat in his room, waiting for the arrival of Marty's father. He played with the crystal pendant in his hand. When he was watching carefully, the magic pendant seemed to have some magical magic, which emitted a changing color under the light.
"Sir, come to me." Marty's father entered Schwab's room under the guidance of his young attendant William. Marty's father seemed old.
"Please sit." Schwab brought a wooden bench for Marty's father. When Marty's father sat down, Schwab handed him the crystal pendant and said, "Is there any secret in this crystal pendant?"
"What's wrong, sir." Marty's father took the neck pendant and looked up at Schwab. His eyes became swollen because of the long-term viewing of the fire.
"Please tell me, this is important to me." Schwab said beggingly holding hands at Marty's father.
"This is the secret of the Carl family for hundreds of years." Marty's father looked at the pendant and trembled with his left hand to explore the crystal on it. The dim light made his back look particularly dark. He looked for a while and then said, "Originally, this secret could only be passed on to my descendants, but now my only daughter is dead, and this secret has no value. Sir, you are very nice to Marty and me. Now I will tell you this century-old secret."
"Yeah." Schwab sat down gently, not expecting that the crystal pendant had indeed hidden a secret, but this secret had something to do with the divine power on his body.
"In fact, the people of the Carr family are not native empires. We are actually descendants of the Novedes. The Novedes from the north opposite the coast, the Novedes who are good at fighting and iron-striking, came to the empire as invaders in the dragon-headed ship with round shields and battle axes. During the process of burning, killing and looting, some of the Novedes settled here and never returned to their hometowns again.
This crystal pendant was not made by humans. According to legend, it is the work of the underground dwarf. The underground dwarf is a creature in the mythology of the Novedo people. The iron-thrusting technology of the Novedo people was learned from the underground dwarfs. Their superb training technology once proved that the beautiful goddess of Arctic light, Melfria, asked the underground dwarfs to create the most beautiful crystal pendant for themselves, and the underground dwarfs also made the most magical crystal pendant according to the goddess' requirements. This crystal pendant was forged with the flames of the dragon in the deepest part of the ground, and the metal and crystal on it were made of fragments of stardust in the sky.
Seeing this most magical crystal necklace goddess, she was also attracted by it. She asked the underground dwarves to give the necklace to herself, but the dwarves made a very excessive request, and they asked the goddess to dedicate her holy flesh to them for a whole month.
Looking at these ugly and low underground dwarf goddesses, they were furious, but the beautiful light emitted by the crystal necklace made the goddess reluctant to leave. For this crystal necklace, she had to agree to the rude request of the dwarves and bend to accompany these rude and smelly dwarves. When the goddess got the crystal necklace as she wished, she put on the necklace and flew in the night sky of the North Pole."
"What about it later?" Schwab asked unconsciously by the mythological story told by Marty's father, and asked inadvertently, and asked a question, was this pendant made of fragments of meteorites and flames in underground spirit veins.
"Later, in the evening of the gods, the goddess wearing scales was bitten by the Fandala giant wolf and died, and the crystal neck pendant on her neck was also lost to the world. The first hero to get this neck pendant was Boro Longgen. After his death, this neck pendant fell into the hands of my family. We have only told this secret within the family, because there is also a treasure map of Boro Longgen hidden in this neck pendant."
"Treasure?" Schwab was shocked. Why did he even involve the treasure?
"Yes, my family ancestors only discovered it a long time later." After Marty's father finished telling, he lowered the crystal neck pendant with relief.
"Can you find its map? Why don't people from your family look for the treasure of Borrolonggen?" Schwab was very interested in treasures and restoring divine power, and he asked quickly.
"Because no one can understand this map." Marty's father placed the crystal in front of the light. Under the light, the crystal emitted a red glimmer, and many small highlights appeared in the glimmer, which seemed to float in the crystal.
"Is this the map?" Schwab wondered. There were no coordinates and no texts, so how could he find the treasure.
"Good night, sir, thank you for listening to the story of an old man." Marty's father stood up and walked out of the room, leaving Schwab alone to look at Crystal.
"What the hell is this? It looks like a star in the sky." When Schwab thought deeply until late at night, he came to the window, looking at the stars in the sky, he suddenly had an idea. In the myth, the Arctic goddess came from the sky. Is this implying that the highlight in the crystal is the coordinates of the stars?
Thinking of this, Schwab raised the crystal to face the bright moonlight. Under the moonlight, the highlights in the crystal were like a shrinking sky. The highlights in the crystal were the little stars. But what was the direction of the star? How to project the stars onto the ground and get the specific location of the treasure, Schwab had a headache again. After thinking for a while, he still had no idea. Seeing that the night was already late, Schwab went to bed and fell asleep.
At this time, Mary, the princess of Han Ruowei, was extremely anxious. The maid told her that the duke had agreed to declare war on the Ruovets under the pressure of the nobles. At this time, the Earl of Baden was leading people to attack the Ruovets' trading stations. As long as the trade point was attacked, the king of Ruovets would be furious and led his army to attack. The peace in the entire north for nearly a hundred years would be broken.
"Tell Sir Schwab of Mark Fort immediately." After writing a poem, Princess Mary applied the password taught by Schwab, notified Schwab of the news and asked him to find a way to deal with it immediately. Beside the princess was a duke's nighthawk. The so-called nighthawk refers to the spies around the duke. They were orphans who had been picked up and vowed to be loyal to the people of the duke's family since childhood.
"Yes, princess." The nighthawk, who was covered in a gray hood and cloak, took the letter and put it in his arms, then left the city and rode on a horse toward Mark. Even the darkness could not stop this man who had lived in darkness since childhood.
When he reached the border of Han Ruowei, Nighthawk suddenly grabbed the horse he was stalking. He looked around from under the hood. The horse under his crotch was digging his hooves uneasily, and Nighthawk stroked it with his hands to comfort it.
"Shadow Srick, you're ready to go there." A man in the same dress came out of the woods. He seemed to know Shadow Srick, but their conversation was cold.
"I have my mission, Blade Duke, you have no right to interfere." Shadow Srick drove his horse closer to him. At this time, Blade Duke smiled and walked carefully to another position.
"Of course, I know you are always loyal to the Duke of Hanruowei, just like me," said Duke Blade.
"We all know that you are a traitor Duke. Although the Duke still trusts you, you have turned your oath." Shadow Srick said with a frown and tightened the reins of the horse.
"Who cares about our oaths, what are we, just assassins and demiscens in the Duke's family. Have they cared about us when they were high? I did this for the future of my brothers." Blade Duke said excitedly, waving his arms as if he was venting his dissatisfaction to someone.
"You just defected to Yas for your ambition."
"So what? Only Yas promises me freedom, power and wealth." Duke Blade grinned, his hand secretly resting around his waist, with a row of sharp flying knives there, "I'll ask again, Shadow Srick, do you want to fuck me?"
"Never." Shadow Srick said firmly and briefly.
"Very good. You know that among the brothers, my favorite person is you. I'm just here to ask what you mean today." Duke Blade put his hand down, and he seemed to give up his intention to convince Shadow Srick, and then turned around and walked towards the forest.
When Shadow Srick was about to turn the horse and continue his mission, a flash of lightning flew towards Srick in the moonlight. It was a flying knife as fast as lightning. When the flying knife was about to stab Srick in the back, Srick quickly attached to the horse's back. The flying knife passed over his head and was nailed into a tree. Just as the blade Duke was about to throw another flying knife, Shadow Srick had disappeared from the horse.
"Srick, where are you? Let's talk." Duke, the blade, moved carefully in the woods, knew that if he missed a blow, he would be in danger.
Blade Duke licked his lips, nervousness accelerated his adrenal hormones, and his heart beat violently, as if it was particularly obvious in this quiet woods.
"Oh." Just as the blade Duke couldn't find Srick everywhere and turned his head, he punched him hard, Duke staggered back a few steps, Shadow Srick kicked several times, making Duke's blood surge. Duke calmed down and pulled out his dagger and swung it a few times.
Shadow Srick turned around Duke, and Srick waited for the moment when Duke showed his flaws. In the Nighthawk's combat world, there was no word mercy.
"Srick spare me, I will never disturb you again." Duke, the blade, fell to his knees and threw away the dagger in his hand and begged for mercy.
Shadow Srick looked at the knife Duke who was kneeling on the ground. He turned around and walked towards his horse. Just as Srick turned around, the knife Duke showed a cunning look. He slowly pulled out a flying knife from his legs.
