Volume 9: Follower Chapter 2 The High Priest's Secret Treasure
No matter who you are, a cemetery is a place that makes people feel sad and solemn. It is a place where wise souls write the last punctuation of their life records with their own lives. It is also a place where those who have been running around in this busy and chaotic world can finally rest. No one likes to stay in such a place, because here you can feel nothing except death. Time seems to speed up in this place, allowing you to feel more clearly that you are rushing towards death. Therefore, a sense of crisis about the urgency of life will urge you subconsciously to escape from this area that makes you feel confused as soon as possible.
But today, a public cemetery southeast of Frescht welcomed a group of unusual visitors. They crowded into this silent place full of graves with hope and joy, bringing a discordant sound of laughter and noise. This group of death tourists who had no awareness of death and lacked the most basic respect for the dead rushed into this lifeless land at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and as soon as they entered the door, they couldn't wait to shout loudly:
"Where is it? Where is it?"
"What good stuff did you steal..."
"Resurrect quickly, let us see..."
As they poured in, the soul of a desperado began to gather in the void, gradually becoming solid, and finally condensed into the appearance of a dark elf with a few big bright red words on his head: "Red Wolf".
Our dark elf ally from a foreign country, after looting the young high priestess of the Lumbree Temple, Miss Evelina, was beaten up by her and sent to the realm of the dead. He obviously didn't dare to use the legendary method of "running corpses" to revive on the spot in the Lumbree Temple, so he could only pay the corresponding price and choose to be reborn at a nearby "resurrection point". Although cemeteries are originally sparsely populated, sometimes there are inevitably some people who miss the dead - or simply people who have been reborn like the red wolf. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, the dark elf dared to enjoy another journey of his life only after we gathered here.
As we waited eagerly, Red Wolf showed us his loot. It was an exquisite wooden box with copper plates inlaid on the edge. The carved patterns on the box were simple and plain, but at the same time, they gave people a sense of noble, generous, simple and natural elegance. To describe it with my simplest intuitive feeling when I first saw it, it was: "You can tell it's a good thing at first glance"!
The name of this exquisite wooden box can easily make people have infinite beautiful visions of treasures and wealth, and can easily ignite the greedy desires of those of us who maliciously divide the spoils - "The High Priest's Box". This golden name seems to be covered with a precious coat of jewels and gems, shining in our eyes.
"Quick..." Feiyin stared at the treasure box intently, her excited voice sounded a little breathless, "...Quickly open it and see what's inside..."
Should I remind the beautiful female magician to pay a little attention to her image and at least wipe off the long string of crystal clear saliva from her lips?
Opening this locked treasure box requires a level 24 unlocking skill, which is no problem for the habitual thief Red Wolf. In full view of everyone, he excitedly opened the lid of the treasure box and took out the first item inside. My heart suddenly stopped beating as if it was lifted by a rope. Everyone stopped breathing at this moment, holding their breath and waiting for a powerful magic equipment that would go down in history to see the light of day...
Girl's makeup box: a must-have for young girls, consisting of 19 professional tools including lotion, foundation, rouge, lipstick, lip pencil, eyebrow pencil, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, makeup remover, makeup remover, primer, concealer, foundation cream, pressed powder, loose powder, eyebrow pencil, eyebrow brush, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, eyelash curler, blush, highlighter, lipstick, lip gloss, etc., to meet your beautiful dreams. After use, you will have one chance to re-select your appearance, but you cannot change your race (only for female air travelers).
The wind blew, swaying the withered grass in front of the grave, desolate...
After a moment of silent embarrassment, Red Wolf reached out and took out the second item from the treasure box...
Multifunctional nail clippers: a must-have for daily manicures. The ergonomic blade design allows you to trim your nails safely and effortlessly. It also comes with a delicate file to help you polish your nails for a more shiny look. You can trim the shape of your nails after use and it can be reused (only for female airmen). After equipping, it can increase your attack power by 2 points.
In the gloomy sky, an old crow flew overhead, leaving behind a long string of hoarse “Ah! Ah!” cries, desolate...
A few beads of sweat oozed out of Red Wolf's forehead, and he took out the third item from the treasure box tremblingly...
"Smooth and shiny rare potion", this mysterious name made everyone present feel refreshed, but after seeing its introduction, everyone couldn't help but sigh in disappointment: mysterious formula from the far east, pure natural green hair care products, penetrate from the root to the tip of the hair, silky smoothness is no longer a dream. After using it, you can have another chance to re-choose your hairstyle (only for female air travel). Do not swallow, the consequences are at your own risk!
The setting sun painted the entire sky with an indifferent yellow. The shadows under people's feet were stretched very long, pointing straight to the direction of the night, bleak...
The sweat on Red Wolf's forehead became as big as beans, and flowed down like a waterfall. I was really worried that he would become dehydrated due to excessive sweating.
Another exciting item was taken out. Just looking at its name, you would definitely think that the dark elves' theft was worthwhile this time - "The High Priest's Secret Treasure"!
In fact, in a sense, it really makes this theft plan worthwhile - at least, such an embarrassing scene is enough to make all your efforts worthwhile:
The High Priest's Secret Treasure: Small pillow, leak-proof, drier, more comfortable, more secure, personal bodyguard, intimate partner, allowing you to come and go freely and move without worries. After equipping, it can increase the movement speed by 1% (only for female air travellers)!
quiet……
Desolate...desolate...desolate...
"Puchi..." I don't know who was the first to break the awkward silence and couldn't help laughing out loud.
This unexplained laughter saved everyone. It was a good start, and we finally didn't have to hold back the laughter that made our diaphragms tense, and we could vent our sarcasm. We should really thank the person who laughed first, because if it weren't for it, I'm afraid I would have gotten a stitch in the side.
Once the laughter started, it was hard to stop. Many people held onto strangers' tombstones, some fell on someone's grave, and some... couldn't stand up and rolled around between the graves. At first, everyone was laughing at Red Wolf's shocking trophy, but later, as people were immersed in the carnival atmosphere, they only needed to look at each other's faces at the indelible weird expressions, and they would find reasons the risk of cramping their abdominal muscles.
There was probably only one person who couldn't laugh, and that was the dark elf thief Red Wolf, who spent a hundred gold coins to buy a bottle of "evaporation potion" and ended up stealing these girls' supplies, but didn't know what to do with them. His originally dark complexion turned red and blue because of shyness and indignation, like a pleasingly growing eggplant or an overgrown bitter melon, with a very long face. Even donkeys and horses, which are famous for their long faces, would be ashamed of themselves in front of him.
In his other hand, Red Wolf held the second piece of loot he had taken from the high priest - a total of fifty silver coins and thirty-two copper coins, "the high priest's private money" - although this was of no help at all, it was just a consolation prize for the heavy price he paid for planning this transnational theft operation.
Facts have proven that no matter how respected her status is, no matter how profound her wisdom is, no matter how amazing her level is, no matter how terrifying her power is, our respected high priestess Miss Evelina is still just a young girl after all - and a very typical adolescent girl at that...
This time, Fei Yin did not have any idea of coveting other people's spoils. She did not even show the slightest possessiveness towards the dark elves' stolen results. In fact, Red Wolf did offer to give these unique stolen goods to her, but she firmly declined. Especially the magical "Secret Treasure of the High Priest". Not to mention increasing the movement speed by only 1%, I dare to bet with anyone that even if it increased by 100% or more, no lady would have enough courage to equip it for public use.
Across half the continent, crossing the border countless times at the risk of being slaughtered, walking on the enemy's land full of murderous intent with his head on his shoulders, successfully carrying out this shocking transnational theft at the cost of fragile life and impoverished pockets, just in exchange for a sad ending that makes people want to cry but not cry. In addition to regret and frustration, I believe that the dark elf Red Wolf's heart can no longer accommodate any other emotions. He greeted us with a lack of interest, and then waded away in the air on the spot, leaving the time and space plane we were in.
It is difficult for me to judge whether Red Wolf's theft plan should be considered a success or a failure - he did succeed in stealing a lot of unique equipment from the high priest, but the practicality of these equipment was unfortunately also so low that it was unparalleled in the world - but there is one thing we can be sure of, that is, our guild creation plan was very successful: it took less than half the time for us to successfully collect the signatures of twenty guild members, and fortunately no one let Feiyin seize the opportunity of lifelong exploitation. Feiyin seemed very regretful about this.
In just two days, a brand new guild will be officially recognized by the Falvi Continental Alliance and officially registered. For those enthusiastic members who are eagerly looking forward to the establishment of the guild, the only thing they need to consider now is how to spend the two days of waiting. Finally, after completing this major event, many people followed Red Wolf and temporarily left the Falvi Continent. In their own time and space plane, they relaxed and rested while waiting for the establishment of the guild.
The female magician Fei Yin did not want to end her adventure on the Falvi continent so quickly. She took out a scroll from her backpack, frowned helplessly, turned around and walked slowly towards the city gate.
"Feiyin..." Yan Zhen, the long-haired elven female animal trainer and loyal friend of the female magician, called out to her, "...It's so late, aren't you going to rest yet?"
"I have a day off tomorrow, so I don't have to get up early..." Fei Yin shrugged lazily, spread her hands, showed the scroll and continued, "...I just typed out a recipe, and my cooking skills are about to be upgraded, so I'll gather all the ingredients and learn how to make it before leaving."
"Oh, what kind of precious recipe is this that requires Miss Feiyin to sacrifice her sleep time and stay up late to practice?" Upon hearing this, Xian Ge Yayi came over curiously.
I couldn't help but lean over to take a look, and saw the following words written on the witch's new recipe:
Rickard's Egg Omelet: In order to compete for the last egg omelet on the plate, the cowardly Rickard dwarf will not hesitate to challenge the dragon. This delicious food will make you feel high-spirited and invigorate your spirits, increasing the recovery speed of life and magic by 50% within half an hour, and increasing the upper limit of life by 300 points.
"Wow..." Xian Ge Ya Yi and I exclaimed at the same time. Even a fool can see the value of this meal. It is almost equivalent to hiring a priest as a personal bodyguard for half an hour, loyally protecting your life and safety - especially for a close combatant who relies on brute force and body to confront the enemy head-on. With it, I am even confident that I can challenge five beasts of the same level as me at the same time, or face a "leader"-level opponent who is three levels higher than me alone.
"Are you still missing any ingredients? Let us help you." Yan Zhen asked kindly.
In the "Ingredients" column, I saw a lot of scary names such as "Fresh Purple Devil Kale", "Spicy Abyss Nutmeg", and "Fire-Breathing Dragon Chili Salt".
Past experience tells us that the more complicated and obscure the names of items are, the more important they are, and they are often very precious, and the more difficult it is to obtain them. For example, if you just want a simple and clear "dagger", you only need to go to a blacksmith shop at the intersection of a small mountain village and spend fifteen copper coins to get it; but if you want something like "the sharp left hand of the white holy light praying Vanlo that sparkles and suffocates under the moonlight", you may have to go through a lot of hardships and dangers, risk your life, and defeat the powerful and dangerous evil creatures in a dangerous underground cave to get it.
"Yes, let us help you find it ." Xian Geya and I nodded repeatedly, indicating that we had no choice but to do so.
Unexpectedly, Fei Yin waved her hands in panic and rejected Yan Zhen ruthlessly, "Don't do that. I'll go alone. If you come with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to gather everything even if I work all night."
"What materials are you still missing?" Looking at Feiyin's serious expression, I couldn't help but ask.
"Eggs!" Feiyin answered simply.
