"Because I have an older sister who has been ambitious since she was a child. In order to compete with me for the name Wattley, she even killed her father and betrayed the family. She is also a talented person and is resentful of my having the name Wattley. Now she has changed her name to Wattley and has been promoted to a key position in the Zero Organization! There are only two things I have to do in my life. The first is to break the family curse, and the second is to find her and ask her why she murdered my father!"
Watley said.
Using a name as a family inheritance sounds strange, but it is not the first time that Du Yuqi has heard of such a thing. To put it bluntly, aren't Louis Vuitton, Versace, etc. all names passed down from previous generations? It is not the first time that people have been fighting for this.
After hearing what Watley said, Du Yuqi nodded and said:
"That's great. I can't leave the Steel Bear Knights for now, but I should be able to leave soon. Next, I will go to a place to get something. If I'm not mistaken, this thing will be very helpful to improve my strength. However, that place should be full of dangers. At the same time, according to the undercurrent situation in Cantwin, it is not suitable for large-scale entry. Didn't you say that your divination can help me avoid most of the risks? Then accompany me to that place first?"
Watley covered herself with the veil again and said firmly:
"It's a deal!"
After the two of them had reached an agreement, they separated. Du Yuqi would take some time to practice basic swordsmanship with a wooden sword. He had just warmed up and stretched his muscles when he saw Watley turning back in a hurry, holding a newspaper in her hand and handing it to Du Yuqi.
Du Yuqi took it and glanced at it, then narrowed his eyes slightly. This newspaper was called the Canterwin Chamber of Commerce Gazette. As the name suggests, it contained a lot of business-related information, such as a shortage of fruits and vegetables in a certain place, and new spices in a certain place, but also local gossip, chronicles of romantic encounters, etc. What's more important is that the paper quality of this Chamber of Commerce Gazette is very good, and after reading it, it can also be used to wrap goods, wipe your butt, etc. It can be said to be a multi-purpose item, with excellent sales and a wide coverage.
Of course he knew that Watley would not just give him a random newspaper to read, so he quickly flipped it open and read through it, his eyes finally fixed on a missing person notice:
"Looking for my old friend, Pastor Du. See you in the depths of the sealed land. I am Bread. PS: Have you got Xie Wenwen?"
Looking at this short missing person notice, the muscles on Du Yuqi's face kept twitching.
Who is Bread? It is Zhao Qiuyu's nickname. This guy likes to eat cream sandwich bread the most. Once he was eating it secretly during class. As a result, when the teacher called him to answer a question, his mouth was full of bread and he spoke in a babbling voice. From then on, the nickname Bread followed him all his life.
As for Xie Wenwen, let’s not talk about it. Du Yuqi has been a spare tire for more than a year, so of course it is unforgettable. Since he can mention the two keywords "bread" and "Xie Wenwen", then Zhao Qiuyu's identity is confirmed without a doubt.
In this case, Du Yuqi was originally hesitant about whether to enter the sealed place, but after seeing this missing person notice, he must go there!
…
One day later...
"Wow!! Is this Dragon King Cream?" A sticky voice exclaimed, "It even has a slight sour smell! This is the best Dragon King Cream recorded in the book!"
The one who spoke was a very cute little girl with big eyes as she exclaimed at the Dragon King Cream in the plate. She was none other than Meimei who came in a hurry.
Of course, for her, who is well-informed and curious, after hearing about the rare treasure like Dragon King Cream, she would definitely take a closer look.
Du Yuqi nodded and said:
"That's right, and most importantly, we still have something that we haven't identified yet, so we hope you can identify it."
"Ah!" She would jump for joy every time. She knew that there would often be some very rare relics in the Doomsday City. Some of these things were worthless, but some inherited some ancient ideas and knowledge, which brought considerable benefits to her knowledge reserves. So she was naturally very happy.
Then, Du Yuqi took out his blue-black scabbard and handed it to Meimei for identification. When Meimei saw the scabbard, he was first shocked by its strange shape, then frowned and looked at it for a while and said:
"Where did you find this?"
Du Yuqi told him everything about his future, frowning every time he said:
"Using Dragon King Cream to preserve this scabbard means that in the mind of the preserver, this thing is actually much more valuable than such a large piece of Dragon King Cream, and it should have been preserved in ancient times..."
"Oh right." Du Yuqi suddenly said, "When I first got this thing, its color was pale white, like a dried corpse in the desert, and there were knife marks all over it. How should I put it? It's like the original owner didn't just use it as a sheath, but used it to parry and block in actual combat."
"Ah?" He was dumbfounded and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Now that you said that, I suddenly remembered something. Uh, the last time I went on an adventure with Xi in the Wannian Snow Mountain, the ruins I saw seemed to have the scene you described."
Xi, who never liked to talk much, suddenly said:
"Yeah, that's right. When you mention it, I think there are some similarities."
Du Yuqi looked at Xi eagerly, expecting her to say a few more words. Unfortunately, after Xi said these two sentences, she kept her mouth shut. Du Yuqi really wanted someone to strangle her to death.
Fortunately, Changchui is not a person who is stingy with words, and he immediately said:
"Last time, I went to Wannian Snow Mountain with Xi to collect a kind of medicine. We encountered an avalanche on the way. After the avalanche, I found that the ice wall next to it was as smooth as a mirror. According to speculation, it should have been a battlefield there. The breath of the ice dragon missed the target and sprayed on it, thus forming this amazing hardness and coldness next to it."
"There are many patterns engraved on this wall of breath. One of the pictures depicts a man holding a strangely shaped mysterious scabbard and fighting against the Snow Goblin King. The characteristics of this man are that he holds the scabbard in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, and he defends with his left hand and attacks with his right hand. The pattern on the scabbard is also in the shape of a leg bone. There is also a series of text introductions."
After studying it for a while, he said:
"There is no doubt that if the two are one and the same, then your scabbard is not the strongest form. According to the description on the Breath Wall, there are many ornaments and accessories on this scabbard, which can be used to block the enemy's attacks. For example, if the enemy stabs with a gun, the ring on the scabbard can be used to lock it. If the enemy stabs with a sword, the horizontal surface of the scabbard can be used to block it."
"At the same time, the opening of the mysterious scabbard can release a strong blinding light towards the enemy in front, blinding the enemy within the range without warning. When the weapon is inserted into the scabbard, the inside of the scabbard can release bursts of special aura to nourish the weapon inside."
Du Yuqi was surprised and said:
“Is this thing so awesome?”
Every time:
"Yes, it's amazing."
Looking at the plain-looking mysterious scabbard in his hand, Du Yuqi found it a little hard to believe. His eyes became hot at this moment, and he was looking forward to the next journey.
After everyone had dispersed and settled down, Du Yuqi quietly stood at Waterly's door and knocked gently.
However, just when Du Yuqi's knuckles were about to touch the door, Watley's door had already quietly opened. She, wearing a veil, seemed to have known that Du Yuqi was coming, and said slowly:
"You're here?"
Du Yuqi smiled slightly and said:
"Are you demonstrating your divination skills to me? Very good, you succeeded. What is the situation outside now?"
Watley frowned and said:
"The storm is coming. The activities of the Zero Organization have already surfaced, but after they were severely injured by the legendary strongman Nirbas, they disappeared and went underground. At the same time, the situation in Cantwin has also attracted attention from many parties, and other forces have also entered the scene. After the Zero Organization has shrunk, its control has greatly decreased. If you want to leave now, then this is the best time."
Du Yuqi sighed and said:
"The key to the problem is that even if we can leave now, everyone is very eager and may not be willing to leave."
Watley said lightly:
“You have to sacrifice to gain… The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity.”
Du Yuqi said:
"The previous question is just a prelude to this question, and the next question is: before going to the sealed land, I want to explore a place first. This place has something that can be of great help to me, and I must get it. It is best to keep this matter secret from the outside world, so I need you to make the arrangements. So how many people do you think should be arranged?"
Watley thought for a moment and said:
"Where are you going?"
"The ruins of Lansat." Du Yuqi said.
Watley said:
"That place. Now what I need to know is, how confident are you that you can get what you want after entering the ruins?"
Du Yuqi said:
"I went in with relevant information and a token, so I am very confident going alone. And since you want to show me divination, it is necessary to bring you along. So if we work together, we will have an 80% to 90% chance of success. The key is to avoid being noticed on the way to and from the ruins."
