Du Yuqi was mentally prepared. He shrugged and said:

"Okay, okay, it's okay."

But Weiwen continued:

"But I have seen the three letters LKT engraved inside the earrings more than 30 years ago. The person who engraved the words on them had a habit of pausing and applying more force when engraving the last stroke. This resulted in a darker mark when the stroke was completed. This is a very obvious personal characteristic."

Du Yuqi took the ring and looked at it carefully, and found that what Weiwen said was absolutely right. However, this discovery did not help the current mystery at all. Instead, it made Du Yuqi even more confused, because the material of the earrings could be said to be extraordinarily hard. Even a powerful destructive force could not leave a mark on it, let alone engrave words on it?

Fortunately, Weiwen tried to recall at this time:

"More than 30 years ago, the man who brought the earrings was called Hunter. He was from the Roger family, one of the most prestigious families on the West Coast. However, he was a member of a branch family and was not taken seriously. He said that the earrings contained a huge secret and wanted to pawn them to the boss."

"However, although the earrings he brought looked exactly like yours, they were fakes and were far less durable than yours, so the boss simply kicked him out. Mr. Hunter was very disappointed at the time and kept saying that the boss would regret it... Finally, I'd like to add that I saw Mr. Hunter at the door of the Shell Bar last month. He was being beaten because he drank and didn't pay."

After hearing the last sentence, Du Yuqi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately snapped his fingers and said to the waiter next to him:

"Here are five gold coins. This is your spending. I will deposit these five hundred gold coins on your counter. Once Mr. Weiwen comes to spend, it will be deducted from this. Is there any problem?"

The waiter next to him bowed slightly and said:

"You have made it very clear. I will go to the boss right away, sir. We will make sure Mr. Weaving gets the best service."

Du Yuqi waved goodbye to the smiling Weiwen. At this moment, he had at least one very good clue, and this clue was very clear. So, with the help of the Fengquanliu people, he quickly came to the Shell Bar, ordered a glass of the most expensive wine, and threw two gold coins to the waiter. The waiter told him all the news about Hunter with a smile on his face.

It turns out that although Hunter is a member of the Roger family, and the Roger family is considered to be the number one wealthy family on the West Coast at that time, the Roger family has been passed down to the present, and there are more than two hundred direct descendants who have the right of inheritance. It is conceivable how huge the family is.

Hunter's father was the former silver manager of Roger's family. He was mainly responsible for keeping and collecting the family patriarch's token, "Roger's Gold Watch". For the patriarch, this thing was like the emperor's seal. Without it, he would be unjustified, and the family's secret vault also needed this thing to open.

So Hunter's father could be said to be a man of low status but great power. When the old man was still alive, he was also quite powerful, and Hunter also lived a pretty good life, spending his days in debauchery.

However, after old Hunter passed away, Hunter's life took a sharp turn for the worse. After he squandered all his family fortune, his life became quite miserable. Over the past few decades, he has been relying on fraud and support from his daughter to make a living.

Normally, Hunter would either be swindling people on the dock or drinking in a bar, but at this time the expo was being held and the West Coast was cracking down. Hunter knew how serious it was, so he must have run to his daughter's home in the countryside to avoid the limelight.

After hearing Hunter's experience, Du Yuqi immediately judged that old Hunter was most likely not bragging, because he was born into a wealthy family, his father was powerful and trusted by the superiors, which gave him the prerequisite to know some secret things. Needless to say, only fifty gold coins were needed, and someone rushed to lead the way to Hunter's daughter's house.

…

Two hours later, Du Yuqi met Hunter under the guidance of the Fengquanliu people.

This was a tall, cold-blooded old man with a red nose and a muffled voice.

It was obvious that alcohol had seriously damaged his health, so much so that this guy's hands were shaking constantly. On the outside, he was still wearing aristocratic clothes, but the worn cuffs and whitened corners betrayed his financial situation.

The Fengquanliu obviously had rich experience in dealing with such poor people. They brought Hunter's three creditors and asked him to make a choice: to be stripped naked and thrown into the creek near the mill by the creditors, or to answer all the questions honestly and get a reward of 100 gold coins while helping the creditors pay off their debts.

The Fengquanliu people also told old Hunter straightforwardly that the money was not so easy to get. He could hide it or lie, but he had better pray not to be discovered, otherwise revenge would befall his daughter, son-in-law, grandson and granddaughter.

There is no doubt that such a threat is very vicious, but it also hits the vital point of old Hunter. A tough guy like him is most afraid of this kind of desperate person at this time. He looked at the unremarkable earring that Du Yuqi took out, and his eyes immediately sparkled. Then he reached out and touched it, and a greedy and crazy look appeared on his face, but this look quickly dimmed, and then he sighed and said:

"Holy Light! I never thought that I would be able to see the real Light Flame Earrings while I am still alive!"

Then he looked around and said to Du Yuqi in a low voice:

"Sir, I know you are an absolute big shot, but behind this earring, there is a shocking secret. Once this secret is spread, it will even shock the entire Arad continent, set off a bloody storm, and bring you incredible trouble! Back then, the Roger family only got a fake earring, and more than 200 people died. If it was not confirmed that it was just a fake, I believe the death toll would have increased several times. Are you sure you want to listen to it?"

Du Yuqi smiled and said:

"Of course, because the troubles I have are already shocking and numerous enough, and this one won't make any difference."

Old Hunter said with a short breath:

"Well, look at the earring on your hand. Are there the three letters LKT in it? This is the abbreviation of Richter. It was cast by Richter himself. Legend has it that whoever can get this ring can get the unique and powerful weapon he left behind, the Sword of Light and Flame, the Judgment of the Sun!"

"What?!" Du Yuqi said in surprise: "It's this weapon!?"

Hundreds of years ago, when the weapon Light Flame Sword, Sun's Judgment, came out, it immediately caused a sensation on the continent, because this weapon instantly made up for the problem of the swordsman's short attack range. When this lightsaber was swung, multiple lights would be emitted from it to chase distant enemies, and once the lights were shot out, they would automatically produce a tracking effect, that is to say, they could only be blocked, not dodged!

Holding such a weapon in hand is an absolute nightmare for both magic and sharpshooter professions, and there is no way to contend with it!

Richter relied on such a weapon. At that time, he was just a fifth-level (unawakened) Asura warrior, and finally killed the seventh-level gun god Haot, who was hailed as the rising star! You know, Haot's record of successfully awakening at the age of 18 years and 37 days has not been broken until now! This shows how powerful this weapon is.

However, Richter was an extremely low-key person. After he successfully avenged himself by killing Haut, he returned to his hometown and lived in seclusion in the snow-capped mountains. Due to the extremely harsh natural climate and Richter's deliberate avoidance of crowds, almost no one could find his whereabouts.

And even if they found it, they might not be able to defeat him and successfully take the weapon away, so soon, the sensation caused by the weapon "Light Flame Sword·Scorching Sun Judgment" subsided on the surface. Some people even claimed that this was a fictitious weapon and that Richter had actually killed Hout with such despicable means as conspiracy and poisoning.

However, whenever there is news about the appearance of the Sword of Light and Flame, Judgment of the Sun, there is always an undercurrent, and even tragedies are caused by some false news.

So when Du Yuqi heard the words "Light Flame Sword·Scorching Sun Judgment" from Old Hunter's mouth, he was stunned for a moment, then carefully examined the mysterious earring, and after a while he said to Old Hunter:

"How did you determine that this ring is definitely related to the Sword of Light and Flame, the Judgment of the Sun? Just based on the three letters LKT?"

Old Hunter shook his head and said:

"Of course not!"
