Chapter 20 Riku Patio



He lowered his voice mysteriously and said:

"Sir, I originally had the same idea as you. I thought that the three letters LKT didn't mean anything. However, when the Roger family got the earring, many powerful people came to fight for it. For the Roger family, these various powerful people are nothing. After all, the Roger family is also very powerful."

"However, this earring actually attracted a terrifying big fish in the end! After this person took action, the Roger family's strength was weakened by 80% within ten minutes. It can be said that the Roger family was seriously injured. In the end, they were forced to let go. This person was none other than Sodros, who was known as the strongest swordsman!"

"How is this possible!!" Du Yuqi said in surprise.

Old Hunter's eyes showed a hint of pride. He took out a wine flask from his arms, gulped down a few gulps and said:

"My father saw this with his own eyes. Why would he lie to me? Moreover, you can ask around. Thirty-six years ago, among the experts who served the Roger family, there were six experts with the first awakening state and two experts with the second awakening state. After that night, six of the eight experts died, and the remaining two died of their injuries within five years. How could someone come in the middle of the night, kill these experts in a short period of time, and then disappear?"

Old Hunter then sneered:

"So, even though the three letters LKT don't mean anything, the fact that a strong man like Sodros is paying attention to this clue and even came to the continent of Arad to snatch it shows that there must be a shocking secret hidden in this earring!"

At this time Du Yuqi had to admit that what old Hunter said was right. Sodros had stayed in the Tower of Despair for too long. If he wanted to descend to the continent of Arad, even if he just stayed there, he would have to pay a considerable price. The treasure that made someone like Sodros personally descend to take action was already convincing enough.

Du Yuqi hesitated for a moment and said:

"What's next?"

Old Hunter took another sip of wine, squinted his eyes and exhaled a breath of wine, saying:

"What else can we do next? The last fig leaf of the Roger family has been stripped off, so they can only kneel on the ground and hand over the Light Flame Ring obediently. However, Sodros slashed the ring with his sword and found that it was cut in half, so he turned around and left, disappearing into the night."

"Sodros came and went quickly. After one strike, he disappeared without a trace. Almost no one knew about it. The Roger family probably knew that the earrings were fakes, so they just gave up. I spent five gold coins to take the fake ring off, and then asked someone to glue it back on. Finally, I searched around the West Coast and sold it to a scapegoat for two thousand gold coins. Then I went to Xu Zu to hang out. The scapegoat seemed to have found someone else, but I heard that his business went bankrupt, and we have nothing to do with each other since then."

After hearing what Old Hunter said, Du Yuqi pondered for a while and felt that there was no flaw, so he said:

"What you said is useful to me, but not very useful. I only know the name and authenticity of this earring and its use, but I am still confused about where to go and what to do next. In fact, before finding the Sword of Light and Flame, the Sun's Judgment, this is just an earring made of hard material, nothing more."

"So, if you still want to make money from me, then you have to come up with something valuable. If you have nothing to say..."

At this point, Du Yuqi threw out a bag of gold coins:

"I will have to ask Mr. Hunter to live in the goblin tribe of Huttonmar for a year. During this period, all your expenses will be covered by me. After a year, I will let you come back and give you 300 gold coins for travel expenses... Well, I am not discussing this with you. I want to tell you a fait accompli. In fact, you should also know that I am very kind not to kill you directly to silence you."

Old Hunter heard what Du Yuqi said and shrugged:

"Sir, you have a kind heart. I also paid attention to this matter at the time. Among the rumors and hearsay, I think the most reliable one should be to go to the Riku Patio and take a look. It is said that the person who has the Light Flame Earrings can get the next step of information by going there."

Du Yuqi pondered and said:

"Riku Patio? It seems that a lot of strange things happened there."

Liku Well is a mysterious place in the thousand-year-old snow-capped mountains. To reach Liku Well, one must cross a long glacier, on which are distributed Bantu warriors and groups of blue goblins, who are very aggressive towards outsiders.

At the end of the glacier, there is a huge ice cave, in which live a large number of foam ice spiders, as well as elemental stone giants of frost, lightning and storm. At the end of the ice cave, there is an ice surface the size of a football field. Looking upwards, there is no obstruction, and you can find that the ice walls standing upright on both sides are like walls, hundreds of meters high, and the top above is transparent, and you can see the snow clouds rolling in the sky, like a patio, and the Riku Patio got its name from this.

It is said that the ice giant Riku once lived here and was in a dormant state all year round, but now he has disappeared.

Decades ago, adventurers had discovered scattered treasures in the Riku Patio, the Ridge, and the White Ruins. Among the treasures was even a Skeleton Kirin bone ring! The lucky guy immediately became rich overnight. Not only that, according to some information obtained, the treasure also contained the Sage's Ring, the Eye of Surato, and other treasures, so this area once attracted a large number of adventurers to explore.

However, some strange things started to happen gradually. After exploring the Riku Skylight, some people started to go crazy and attacked any living thing around them. The scene was extremely bloody and cruel. The mad people did not know tiredness or pain, and were unafraid of death. They could exert 120% of their strength, which finally caused panic.

At this time, someone found out that there was a precedent for the strange power in the Riku Atrium that drove people crazy. Hundreds of years ago, a powerful magician named Lily came here. This magician was very powerful, proficient in both physical and magical skills. However, after exploring the Riku Atrium, she went completely crazy. Anyone who entered afterwards would be attacked indiscriminately by her, and no one knew when she disappeared from there.

This also explains why, even though the living environment on the ice fields and glaciers outside is obviously much worse, neither the Bantu tribe nor the Blue Goblin tribe has tried to live in the Liku Skywell.

Under such circumstances, all those who dreamed of getting rich seemed to be poured with cold water and left one after another, and the area around Riku Courtyard returned to peace.

When Richter was still alive, his sphere of activity was around the mountain ridge, Riku Patio, and the Ice Palace. He rarely went out and was hidden from view. So the rumor that he took the earring to explore Riku Patio was definitely not groundless.

However, Du Yuqi thought of one more thing, that is, this earring of hers was obtained from Bai Xiuluo! This guy is very cunning and has kept this Guangyan earring as a treasure. He must know its origin. Then Bai Xiuluo should also know the rumors about the Riku patio. It doesn't make sense that a person of Old Henry's level would know something that a strong man like Bai Xiuluo would not know, right?

So, what was the reason that Bai Xiuluo didn't go? Or did he go there but came back empty-handed? Du Yuqi always planned things before he acted, so he decided to take a long-term view. A place like the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain was not a good place to go. The wind, snow and low temperature were enough to kill people. Moreover, he had a grudge with the Bantu tribe during the Minsk Cathedral attack and defense. Wouldn't it be like sending food to them if he went there rashly?

After pondering for a while, a sentence emerged in Du Yuqi's mind: "It takes the person who tied the bell to untie it." Since he got the ring from Bai Xiuluo, he might as well start the investigation from his side to see if there is any breakthrough here.

Although Bai Xiuluo is dead, he is not alone. He has a family, a business, old and young. After the news of his death spread, it must have caused chaos in his family. It is a good opportunity to investigate. However, it is not very reliable to entrust this matter to the people of Fengquanliu.

However, Du Yuqi naturally had a way. Although Lin had decided to retire to Earth and disband his forces, after the fall of the Lin family, those who wanted to leave had already left. At this time, these subordinates had followed the family for hundreds of years and could be said to be extremely loyal. Even after Lin expressed his intention to give up restoring his country, these people still refused to leave and were only willing to continue to be his retainers.

Under such circumstances, Lin naturally couldn't just sit there and do nothing. A broken ship still has some life left. There were many industries left over from the Lin Dynasty, so it was no problem to feed these people. At this time, Du Yuqi gave him a greeting, and these people under Lin were originally idle, so they could naturally be used by him.
