Chapter 123 Emerald Spirit
Byrne gently put down the crystal dragon egg in his hand, feeling very magical that he actually brought it out from the spirit world.
"I hope your parents won't cause us any trouble. The Fisher family will help you grow and become stronger, as long as you become a member of the Fisher family."
Chris stared at the crystal dragon egg for a long time in silence without asking any questions.
He squatted down and carefully examined the body of Baron Leander.
In addition to banknotes, potions, flintlocks, and sundries, he also found two mysterious objects that Baron Leander carried with him.
"White Night Flower".
It looks like a ring ornament with white flowers instead of gems. It is a mysterious treasure of collection level. Its effect is to slowly remove toxins from the wearer's body. However, its ability is not strong, so it will be meaningless when encountering a strong poison.
"Night" is a mysterious treasure of treasure level. It looks like a black cross brooch. It can be activated by simply saying "nightfall" softly while wearing it. "Night" will automatically transform into a dark flying knife composed of night light, attacking all hostile targets nearby at high speed.
The effect of this "Night" is very good. It can automatically search for enemies and its attack range is about fifty meters, which is a pleasant surprise.
Its only drawback is that its attack power is not strong, and it is useless against enemies that can withstand it.
Among the small number of miscellaneous items, Byrne carefully checked them one by one, and finally found a piece of letter paper that looked very special.
It was wrinkled, as if it had been read many times, but there was not a single word on it.
Well, that's obviously illogical.
After thinking for a moment, he took out his notebook from his arms. There were signs of being flipped through, but there was not a single word on it. He had to apply some kind of potion to make the written words gradually appear.
“It should be the same principle.”
The deconstruction perspective was turned on, and light blue halos appeared in Byrne's eyes. He stared at the blank letter paper and analyzed that a common alchemical substance was used to make the text invisible.
"Oh, that's easy."
A faint heat emerged from his palm, and the blank letter paper was instantly heated, and the originally invisible words gradually appeared.
There were several very strange pictures and some jumbled words on the letter paper. It was obvious that Leander's mental state was already very unstable when he wrote them.
"Who am I?", "Who is An Tusen?", "Why do I often dream about An Tusen...", "That place is not in the Oden Continent", "Could it be that An Tusen is my former self?", "He is in the Great Glacier!", "No, I must be crazy!"
The handwriting on the paper became more and more crazy and sloppy. Byrne frowned as he read it. The handwriting of the last sentence suddenly became normal, and the text was much larger than the rest of the words.
"So that's it. An Tusen woke up from Leander. I finally understand everything."
An Tuson woke up from Leander!
He felt a little creepy. What did this name mean?
Why did Leander keep mentioning the name "Antuson"? He even said that "Antuson" was waking up from his body?
"Antuson..."
Byrne found it incredible, but he couldn't understand the meaning, so he could only continue reading. There were some strange drawings on the crumpled letter paper.
The first painting was a large seven-pointed star, and Leander also carefully painted a hideous bloodshot eye on the seven-pointed star.
Although he couldn't understand it, Byrne frowned immediately. He felt that just by seeing the intention implied in the picture, a sense of danger would surge in his heart.
"Oops!"
He closed his eyes and stopped looking at the eyes in the seven-pointed star, and he didn't even dare to recall it casually.
"What on earth is that?"
Byrne was still a little frightened, but he still looked at the second picture. It was a slender hand with five fingers spread out, which seemed to be a woman's hand, but the palm was cut and blood kept flowing out.
"What does this mean?"
The last painting is a mixture of an equilateral triangle and an inverted triangle, with three curved lines representing sea water next to it, like waves.
He finally shook his head and sighed, "These are three strange paintings. I can't understand any of them. Baron Leander, you really are a person who can give riddles."
Suddenly, Chris stretched out his hand expressionlessly and pointed at the "ferocious eyes" in the first picture with a serious look.
“I have seen Him.”
He paused and continued, "Then, the Lord of the Lost saved me."
He?
Byrne immediately fell into deep thought. The sense of oppression brought by the first painting was actually stronger than the following two. It seemed to point directly to a powerful and terrifying evil god.
Even though the great Lord of the Lost is definitely more powerful than Him, the weak Fisher family should still be cautious and not provoke Him. The secret organization that worships Him is definitely not a force that is easy to mess with.
As for Leander, who died once in the spirit world, he had no idea what he had come into contact with to know them, and whether he had become completely crazy because of this.
"It's such a pity that he died with so many mysteries in his heart."
Byrne shook his head, put away the letter, and decided not to think about it anymore. It was time to leave here. As for the distribution of the mysterious objects, he would have to wait until the family meeting.
He stared at the body of Baron Leander and said decisively:
"Leander's subordinates will come looking for him soon. We must get rid of the body first, otherwise it will be bad if the undead or prophecy-type spellcasters find the body."
Byrne stretched out his hand and released fire to burn the corpse, then left with the crystal dragon egg. The two took the remaining remnants of the corpse to a secret and remote place and buried them.
At this moment, Chris suddenly felt something was wrong, as if he was being secretly monitored by someone.
“…”
So he took out the light green hair from his small bag and used his "tracking senses" to identify the few scents contained in the hair.
Chris saw light green lines of energy circling and winding in the air, extending continuously until they reached a tree a hundred meters away.
Um?
He whispered in Byrne's ear that there was a problem with the tree.
Byrne slowly stood up, stared at the trees in the distance, and after making full preparations for battle, he said in a cold voice:
"Stop hiding, you elven lady who turned yourself into a tree."
The two brothers' eyes were fixed on the tree for a long time. Finally, the tree gradually changed in their field of vision.
Byrne was slightly stunned. The elf girl he had never forgotten appeared before him again!
She has a delicate and gentle face, a calm expression, a slender figure, long light green hair like a flowing waterfall, extremely bright eyes full of wisdom, and pure pale skin.
The other person is still as beautiful as in my memory!
But now he is ready for battle. As long as the elves show any hostility, Byrne will launch a fatal attack immediately.
The elf girl stared at the two of them for a while, then suddenly spoke slowly:
"Siyat of the East, I am a spirit from the land of stars in the West. You can call me 'March'."
Her voice is soft and ethereal, giving people a otherworldly feeling.
March?
Byrne and Chris looked at each other and both thought it was a very strange name.
She is an elf that can communicate, not a lurking enemy. Since she can communicate, the possibility of triggering a battle is greatly reduced.
But he did not approach rashly. Instead, he smiled calmly and said calmly:
"This Emerald Elf, Ms. March, I am Baron Byrne, the head of the Fisher family in Nasir Town. This jungle belongs to the Fisher family. Please give a suitable reason for your unauthorized trespassing here."
Sanyue thought for a moment, bowed slightly apologetically, and said politely:
"I see. I thought this was no man's land. Sorry."
"I need to find the food and extraordinary materials I need in the jungle. I don't want to leave here for the time being. Baron Byrne, how about we make a deal?"
Byrne silently recalled the knowledge in his mind. The Emerald Elves have a highly civilized social system and are accustomed to resolving problems through negotiation.
He nodded and continued, "Of course, Madam Elf, but I don't know what you want to trade for the temporary residency?"
Sanyue narrowed her beautiful eyes and immediately replied:
"How about I hide the fact that you just killed that man and promise not to let the secret out?"
She indeed knew the cause of Baron Leander's death.
The fact that Baron Leander was killed just now must not be leaked out. The cautious Byrne fell into deep thought, and gradually developed hostility towards March.
Sanyue continued, "Also, I promise that the secret of that cave will not be leaked."
She even knew about the cave leading to the spirit world!
The hostility deep in Byrne's heart became stronger. He was no longer as naive as he was in his youth. Out of caution and confidentiality, it would be best to capture or kill the elf in front of him.
"What do you think of my proposal?"
A bright green light suddenly appeared in March's eyes, and all the trees around them rustled. Byrne and Chris suddenly felt as if they were surrounded by many enemies on all sides, and it seemed that the entire jungle could turn crazy in the next moment and become their mortal enemy!
The spirit's power was very strong, even as strong as Garcia William's, and in the woods her strength was close to a qualitative change.
If the two sides fight here, the best outcome is that the brothers escape from here by chance, but defeating her is impossible!
Byrne made a decisive judgment, smiled and nodded, as if he had trusted the other party from the beginning.
"As a civilized person, I am happy to negotiate, Lady March, the deal is done! Please swear to your god, Emerald Spirit!"
"OK."
March smiled faintly, with a hint of mockery in her beautiful eyes, as if she had seen through the changes in human thought hidden deep in their hearts.
She suddenly continued.
"In addition, I would like to give you an important commission. I need your family to help me find an object called 'New Green Star'. It is a sacred object worshipped by the Emerald Elves for generations. It contains extremely powerful power, but now it is under the control of the Star Embracing Society."
Star Club?
Byrne didn't respond after hearing this, but the silent Chris's eyes suddenly became serious, recalling the black words on the body of the old man in the mine.
Embrace the stars!
