Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 330: Box of Deceit

On the fighting field of the Black Iron Camp, a young Baimon warrior was fighting a two-headed vicious dog. This world's special product is as tall as a calf, with two heads showing fierce teeth, fishy eyes glistening, and some yellow liquid dripping down the fangs from the upper lip to the ground from time to time.

Facing this vicious dog was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old with clear muscles and lines. He was wearing a grass skirt and holding a sharpened wooden spear in his hand. Slightly arched his body, lowered his center of gravity, and stared at his opponent with all his attention.

The two-headed vicious dog barked fiercely, and couldn't help but attack first. It rushed over like lightning, aimed at the young man's neck and bit it. The young man flexibly guessed and rolled away, and threw the wooden spear out. It's a pity that the vicious dog bounced, and let the wooden spear plunge into the hot sand and stones scorched by the sun.

The vicious dog rushed forward while he had no weapon in hand. The young man ran towards the wooden spear, and when he got close to the wooden spear, he threw himself fiercely and reached out his hand to grab the wooden spear. There was a terrible wind in the back of his head, and the vicious dog rushed towards him like a black cloud. There was an exclamation in the field, and people saw the vicious dog pressing on the young man. When he thought he became a vicious dog/food, the tip of the wooden spear pierced through the dog's back.

The two-headed dog was extremely fierce, its neck was pierced across, but the two big heads were still fighting to bite the young man underneath. The young man held a spear in one hand, and propped up the belly of the vicious dog with the other so that it would not be able to bite. However, the two-headed dog's sharp claws inevitably tore bloodstains on his body. After a while, the vicious dog finally lost too much blood and was silent.

The young man pushed it to the ground, covered in blood himself, but he pulled out his wooden spear and raised it high, shouting indifferently.

"What's his name?" Allen asked.

"Dima, a nice kid." Caesar said.

"Just him, and those young people just now, I want it all." Allen said.

Caesar nodded and left, he walked towards the young man named Dima, pointed at Alan and didn't know what he said to him. Dima nodded frequently, then raised the wooden spear in her hand to Allen, and left the field excitedly.

"Look at these people, they are young, powerful, and have excellent physical fitness. I bet they can fight freely even if they wear full-body armor." Allen clasped his hands on his chest.

Lucy looked at the box she asked for from King Kong and said, "You plan to turn them into hoplites?"

"Why not, a 30-man heavy infantry regiment, with the power of fire/guns in this world, can pose no threat to them at all." Allen said, "They are rare and strong fighters. I don’t want to waste it. As for the cannon fodder, we can just recruit men from the empire in the future.”

He finally couldn't help asking: "What's so special about your box.

"

Lucy opened the box, and wiped the pattern of golden roses on the bottom of the box with her hand, and there was a line of strange symbols under the pattern. She said: "This is the ancient language of Idahua, which means the box of deceit. I have read the records about the box of deceit in the Royal Library. It is actually the predecessor of the safe, but it is more delicate."

"Wait, you said that this thing belongs to your Idahua star?" Allen suddenly felt dizzy: "Is this also your colony star?"

Lucy shook her head: "Impossible. If it is our colonial star, the level of civilization must be more than that. And until now, I haven't found any signs that a colonial star should have."

"Then how can there be things on your planet..." Allen was curious.

Lucy shook the box of deceit in her hand: "I guess, the so-called demon blood of the Baimon people should be some kind of genetic medicine. Perhaps a long time ago, our ancestors conducted a series of blood poisoning on this planet. Experiment. The so-called demons encountered by the Baimeng ancestors may be the experimental subjects at that time."

"experiment?"

"Yeah, some research that is not allowed on Idaho, some people will secretly conduct it on other planets. Forbidden life, weapons of mass destruction, etc., may be research topics." Lucy blinked. Said: "Don't you humans often conduct weapon experiments in remote places that are inaccessible, this is the same reason. The only difference is that our scale is slightly larger."

Allen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The research that needs to be carried out across star fields will not be just a little larger."

"Who knows, but there may be an answer in it." Lucy patted the box and said, "It's used to hold devil's blood, so there may be related records preserved in it. The box of deceit is usually used to keep some secrets The documents, the secrets will make the exquisite mechanism be stored somewhere in the box, and the designer will deliberately leave wrong guidance, so it is called the box of fraud.”

"It's so troublesome, can't it be opened violently?"

"In that case, 100% of the secrets in this box will be destroyed." Lucy shrugged and said, "I will study it slowly when I get back to Sur City, and I need some tools."

Speaking of the city of Sur, Alan thought to himself, and he didn't know how things with Edward were going.

In the city of Sur, scaffolding has been set up on the right side of the city lord's mansion, and the workers are rebuilding it. It's just that the sound of work was too loud, and it took Ethan a whole morning to write a letter intermittently before he finally finished it and put it in an envelope. After Ethan sealed it with wax, he gave it to a clever young man. He was Rich, the messenger Marto had found.

"Be sure to deliver this letter to Sir Maud, this is your reward." Ethan threw a bag of silver coins to him.

Rich took the silver coin and said, "I am happy to serve you, my lord."

Watching Rich leave, Ethan stood at the window. From this position, you can see the house where Alan and the others are not far away. In Ethan's eyes, that house is undoubtedly a dragon's nest, and there are tempting treasures waiting to be discovered by him.

"It's all mine, this city is mine, and everything in it is mine! None of you can take it away!" Ethan gritted his teeth.

Rich passed through a narrow alley, and not far ahead was the city gate. After leaving the city, someone had already prepared a fast horse for him, and he could reach Storm City in three days at most, or two days at least. Thinking of the bag of silver coins in his pocket, Rich's heart warmed up. With this money, you can marry Cedrine, right? he thinks.

Suddenly a figure bumped into the alley, and Rich suddenly stopped, wanting to go back. Unexpectedly, two men came out of a short building next to him nonchalantly, and stood in the middle of the road, blocking his retreat. Rich was a little flustered, he could see that these people came with bad intentions. The two men behind were expressionless and indifferent, looking at him as if they were looking at a dead body.

A gentle voice sounded from behind: "Mr. Rich, I want to buy something with you."

Richie turned his head, and the man in front of him was a handsome young man. Rich recognized him, and said with a dry smile, "Mr. Edward, I'm just a little guy. Is there anything worth buying from me?"

"Of course." Edward smiled and said, "For example, the letter on your body."

Rich touched his chest subconsciously, and Edward's eyes fell on it. He took out a bag of silver coins, which was only a lot more than Ethan's: "Give me that letter, it's yours."

"Mr. Edward, this is Lord Ethan's property. If you lose it, the Lord will not let me go."

"You can rest assured about this, I promise Sir Ethan will not pursue you." Edward's bright smile seemed a bit out of place in this gloomy alley.

Seeing the smile on his face, Ethan shuddered.

Edward winked at the two men behind, and the two walked forward, putting great pressure on Rich. Edward said: "Of course you can swear to protect it to the death. In that case, I can only take it from your corpse. If so, poor Miss Sedline will never be able to wait for her beloved to come back. In that case, maybe she You end up marrying another strange man."

"Mr. Rich, would you like to see such a picture?"

Rich sighed and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I have to disappear in the city of Sur for a few days."

As he spoke, he took out the envelope and handed it to Edward. Edward stuffed the silver coins into his pocket, patted Rich on the shoulder and said, "You're a smart man, and smart people always have a good time. Just treat it as a vacation, maybe you can take Miss Sedline .”

"I think she will be happy." Rich said: "So farewell, sir."

Edward made a gesture, and the two men moved out of the way, and Rich left quickly, for fear that Edward would change his mind.

"Have a nice holiday, you guys." Edward smiled, then gracefully tore the letters into pieces, and threw them into the nearby sewer.

It was night, and Ethan was sitting alone at the dining table. There was plenty of food on the table, and as he sent the letter away today, he could already see wealth beckoning to him. The weapons in the hands of those foreigners are almost like treasures. Ethan is almost sure that there are some weapons dealers who are willing to pay a lot of money to buy them. The premise is that they must be obtained first.

Ethan had already decided that when the knights of Storm City arrested them, there was no rush to execute these people. There must be other secrets hidden in those people, and these secrets are probably as valuable as the Crosis loom and their weapons.

Endless wealth. Ethan smiled happily at the thought of the beautiful word, and drank the wine in his glass.

Suddenly the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and Ethan said angrily: "Who is so presumptuous, dare to disturb my meal!"

"It's me, Sir Ethan." Edward strode in with a smile on his face. He put his hands in his trouser pockets, glanced at the table full of delicious food, and whistled: "What a sumptuous dinner! , It’s just that adults don’t advocate frugality, so why are you suddenly getting rich? I think I’m in a happy mood. Also, the army in Storm City will catch those guys who adults don’t like. From then on, naturally no one can threaten them. Sir Ethan. I would have gorged myself on it. Don't you?"

Ethan's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
