Chapter 638
638 a huge conspiracy
the self-proclaimed spokesperson of justice has finally arrived.
The one who spoke was a colorful parrot that was locked in a cage.
If the macaw was here, it would definitely stomp its feet in anxiety and curse, ” Someone had shamelessly imitated its style and voice!
Link could tell at a glance that this colorful parrot was of the same breed as the macaw.
link furrowed his brows. he could hear a hint of mockery in the parrot’s words.
self-proclaimed spokesperson of justice. why did these words sound so sarcastic? The parrot’s intonation was especially vivid, imitating The Desert Prince’s tone.
Lin Ke’s fists were clenched tightly.
John looked at the room full of gold, silver, and jewelry and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Even though he treated money like dirt, he couldn’t help but be shocked when he saw the mountain of gold and treasure in front of him.
the wealth here could be said to be comparable to a country’s. gold and jewelry were measured in tons. according to the macaw, it could simply swim in gold. The seven generals had divided up a lot of The Desert Prince’s wealth, which would give them the capital to rule the wasteland in the future.
However, he had never expected that this was the real treasure. Compared to this place, the wealth that the seven of them had taken away earlier was simply a drop in the ocean.
Link saw that there was something like a gear wheel under the parrot’s cage. The runic energy on it was dissipating bit by bit. He immediately realized what was going on. The cage and the parrot were actually a biological recording device, so they couldn’t talk directly. As it was an irreversible runic magic circle, it was often used as a one-time message tool.
“You have fulfilled your promise. Now, you can take these rewards and leave.”
The energy on the gear wheel was quickly drained away, and the colorful parrot’s body began to dissipate from the bottom.
Just when everyone thought that these were all the messages, the colorful parrot’s mouth suddenly curved into a human-like smile. Before its body disappeared, it said one last sentence, ” “I believe that in the near future, I will personally see this loyal servant Yingluo.”
The colorful parrot disappeared. The whole room, which was illuminated by gold, did not look magnificent. Instead, it looked strange because of the words it said before it disappeared.
Link and John exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
If they were all suspicious before, then it could be said to be true now!
The story of The Desert Prince and the seven generals was not as simple as the mission link had received before. He had thought that it was just a simple revenge, but who would have thought that everything was just a mutual scheme!
Now that The Desert Prince had borrowed the mouth of the colorful parrot, it was almost as if he had confirmed the fact that he was not dead. He had even said that they would meet again in the future, which made people shudder.
Link’s mind was filled with questions.
If The Desert Prince wasn’t dead, then what was with his body under the castle? And what was the point of leaving behind the royal ring and the key in the recording pen? Moreover, from the message left by the colorful parrot, it was obvious that it had guessed that the seven generals had been killed. It had successfully gathered the treasure map and come here, then signed a contract at the stone gate.
even john couldn’t help but say, ” “Link, I think you’ve fallen into a huge conspiracy,”
“I think so too,” link chuckled and nodded.
after listening to the recording, link had felt some sympathy for the silly prince of the desert. even the old and astute seven generals thought that they had successfully killed the prince and reached the peak of their lives by dividing the treasures. However, it seemed that everything was going according to the Prince’s plan. He made use of the greed of the seven generals to successfully escape the Golden Cicada’s shell.
“What do we do now?” The current situation had exceeded their expectations, and John didn’t know how to deal with it.
link shrugged helplessly. “what else can we do?” he said. “since i said that these treasures are rewards, i’ll definitely take them all back.”
“But the Prince isn’t dead yet, and King Kong has signed a blood contract with him. If we really meet Yingluo in the future …”
“You’re the King of Assassins,” said link, waving his hand.”When did you become so indecisive?” The more tricks the enemy played, the more it proved that he was not strong enough and did not dare to appear in front of them. As for the contract King Kong signed, not to mention the fact that King Kong can break it with his own strength, just the fact that he drew materials from ancient runic magic circles is not a big problem for constellation, who has studied advanced knowledge and the inheritance of Aziz’s constellation magic circle.”
link glanced at king kong and said confidently, ” this blood contract will be left with King Kong. I’d like to see what tricks this Desert Prince is up to.
While link and John were talking, Troy had arranged for drones and robots to follow the cave to the treasure location and get ready to move the treasure.
“Take whatever you like,”
Link then walked towards the Golden Scorpion beetle and scorpion beetle Accessories.
These accessories were even bigger than the Golden Hive he had obtained before. If it was confirmed to be a hive of the bugs, then Link’s Goldfinger’s progress would be able to increase.
When link had become the king of the sand capital or when the freedom Federation had been established, he had also sent ” archaeological teams ” to excavate the ruins in the desert. Link and the Pharaoh tumeng had even investigated the ruins. The Pharaoh tumeng had said that there were indeed scarabs and would make some golden scarab jewelry. However, he and the Pharaohs before him did not have the custom of burying these jewelries.
as for the pharaohs ‘literature, there was no mention of the golden scarab jewelry being buried with them.
Since this matter concerned the source of Link’s most important cheat code, he did not want to have any more in-depth conversation.
The mountain of treasures in front of him was most likely the accumulation of the Pharaoh dynasty.
Because after the old Pharaoh dynasty was overthrown and the wasteland entered a Democratic modern society, the treasures of the dynasty had always been known only to the royal family.
In particular, the Pharaohs of past generations had the tradition of burying gold with them, which made people subconsciously think that the current royal family did not have much wealth left.
When link approached the accessory, a system notification immediately appeared.
[ a bug tribe hive fragment has been detected near you. Do you wish to identify and absorb it? ]
Link did not choose to absorb it on the spot. Instead, he took out the golden beetle bracelets and necklaces and weighed them in his hands.
En, it was very heavy.
However, link had still underestimated John’s keen observation skills.
“you seem to like the golden beetle’s accessories? I’ve also taken a similar necklace from Platinum Hotel.”
Link’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly put on a reminiscing smile.”That’s right. You might not know this, but when I escaped from the wasteland gang’s slave camp, the camp was in quicksand. When I was escaping, I caught a golden accessory that was dug out from the Pharaoh’s pyramid. It was a golden beetle bracelet. It’s also thanks to this bracelet that Fu and I managed to exchange for enough money and start-up capital after we escaped to shadu.”
Link stared at the bracelets, rings, and necklaces in his hands for a while. He then said meaningfully, that’s why I’ve been paying special attention to accessories that look like golden beetles since then.
John nodded in understanding. He had never thought that there was such a past.
The droids and robots began to move the gold.
Gold was a hard currency in fate.
However, this hard currency was not coins, but a type of precious metal.
It must be known that the conditions for the formation of gold were extremely harsh, and there was a fixed amount of gold on a planet.
The conditions for the formation of the metal element were difficult. Usually, it was only formed during the explosion of a neutron star or during the early stages of the Big Bang. Whether it was in technology or magic, gold was an excellent catalyst or medium.
Such a large amount of gold would be enough for link to exchange for starting funds for interstellar activities in the interstellar market.
“Is this the end of the treasure map?” John took a puff of the cigarette, feeling a little unsatisfied.
Link smirked. what else do you want? now that you know The Desert Prince’s special identity and means, you’ve managed to fool the seven generals and US. Isn’t that enough? ” You’ve returned to your family for a long time, and you want to experience the thrill of adventure. Are you disappointed this time?”
John’s hand that was holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and his eyes were a little flustered. He quickly retorted, ” “don’t talk nonsense, there’s no such thing! I’m just wondering what The Desert Prince is trying to do by putting in so much effort. he said a few words as if he had self-destructed, and then he gave away so many treasures? His words, other than making others feel that he is plotting something and making them wary, have no other use.”
john didn’t finish his sentence.
If The Desert Prince was really a scheming person who had played the seven major families and their spokesperson for a fool, then it would be better to continue hiding it. When they finally met in the future, he would completely expose all these trump cards. but now that he was showing off, john couldn’t think of any benefits for him even if he racked his brains. all of them were disadvantages.
In fact, link had the same thought as John. The messages left by the parrot in the treasure vault were too unnecessary.
However, after seeing the fragments of the hive, link decided to put this aside for now.
No matter what schemes he had behind the scenes, he had obtained the bug tribe’s hive fragment. His Goldfinger’s ability had improved, and his strength would increase in all aspects. Moreover, in Link’s opinion, the plot of the wasteland star was buried a little deep. It was actually connected to the main storyline of John.
Looking at it this way, the main storyline in the wasteland in his previous life was simply too far apart. Although the players were very enthusiastic, the story was very simple. it was nothing more than a hero’s awakening and redemption, leading the players to defeat the enemy.
However, the same game was very different in this life. Now, there was a sense of conspiracy theories and a mastermind behind the scenes.
Interesting, very interesting.
“could there be other secrets after this treasure trove was emptied?” john continued to ask, looking forward to it.
link chuckled. it seemed that john had lived at home too much and was finally bored.
“Last year, you said that you wanted to live a good life, but now you’re looking forward to the exciting days. I’ve used the heaven son’s insight to look around and there’s nothing unusual. After we’re done moving the gold, we can leave.”
King Kong had an indifferent expression. Anyway, he had gained a lot this time. He had ferried a lot of filth and increased his merit.
Shazok’s face was dark, and he looked like everyone owed him millions.
It could be said that it was The Biggest Loser in this trip.
After losing the bet with King Kong, he had planned to catch up with King Kong, but he was told that there were no more activities.
Shazok felt terrible. This defeat was destined to come.
In particular, King Kong’s indifferent attitude, which was completely the style of a master, made it even more angry.
If King Kong sneered at him, he could still say something ruthless and turn the tables.
However, this guy didn’t move at all and didn’t seem to care at all. He didn’t seem like a winner at all and instead made shazock feel bitter.
Kachaa!
At this moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from the Treasury.
Everyone, including link, was shocked. They looked around for the source of the sound.
link and john locked onto the source almost at the same time. the sound came from underground, under the pile of gold.
john’s dagger quickly appeared in his hand, his eyes full of excitement.
Link didn’t understand. He’d used the heaven’s son’s insight earlier and there was nothing unusual under the gold. But this sound meant that it was abnormal!
Immediately after, the clear sound of gears began to rotate, and the Golden Mountain peak in front of him began to sink.
The temperature underground began to rise, and the temperature in the Treasury instantly soared. At the same time, there were sizzling sounds coming from the ground.
Link activated the heaven’s insight again and saw a ball of red flames rising from the ground.
A valve had opened at the position where the gear had just turned. This valve was actually connected to the crater of the volcano below the island.
Link didn’t feel it before because it wasn’t magic equipment or a formation. Naturally, there wouldn’t be an energy display. This mechanism was the most simple mechanical gravity mechanism. When the gold in the Treasury decreased and its weight dropped, the balance at the bottom would tilt and trigger the mechanism, opening the valve passage.
Looking at the heat and the sizzling lava erupting from the crater, it was no longer in the state of an ” extinct volcano “.
It must be that after the trap was triggered, some kind of material was left here to reignite the volcano.
Now, everything was clear.
The gold would remain here forever, and the person who entered the treasure vault would also be left behind forever!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the volcano awakened, geological activity began to intensify, and the island began to shake.
The volcanic rock above their heads began to tremble and fall, and the cave outside also made cracking sounds. Cracks spread from the ground, about to tear the island apart.
The sudden change caught them off guard.
It was too late to escape from the cave. The complex structure of the road was unstable to begin with, and it could easily collapse under the shaking and trap them.
There was only one way left for link, which was to destroy the treasure vault and leave through the dome!
