Genshin's Wish

Chapter 587

Chapter 1: The Mysterious Map

The sun shone through the dense leaves and onto Bennett's face. He opened his eyes and saw that Mika had packed his bag and was sitting by the campfire preparing breakfast.

"Good morning, Bennett. Today is a great day for exploring." Mika said with a smile, handing Bennett a plate of fried eggs and bacon.

"Good morning, Mika. What are our plans next?" Bennett asked curiously while biting into the fried egg.

"Well, I heard a legend at the market last night about a treasure map hidden deep in the Haunted Valley. It is said that the map can lead us to one of the greatest treasures ever found!"

Bennett's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

The two quickly packed up their equipment, rode their beloved horses, and headed towards the Ghost Valley. After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the entrance of the valley. There was an ancient stone gate covered with vines and engraved with strange symbols.

"It seems we need to unlock the secret of these symbols before we can enter the valley." Bennett said with a frown.

Mika observed it carefully for a while, then said excitedly: "I think I understand! These symbols are an ancient code, and they need to be touched in a specific order. Let me try!"

As Mika touched the symbols one by one, the stone door slowly opened, and a dark passage appeared in front of them. The two looked at each other, lit the torches, and walked into the passage. The passage was full of traps and puzzles, but they solved these problems one by one with tacit understanding and wisdom.

When they passed the last trap, the view suddenly opened up. A spacious cave appeared in front of them. In the middle of the cave was a stone platform with an old treasure chest on it. Bennett ran forward excitedly and opened the treasure chest. Inside lay an ancient map with various mysterious symbols and marks on it.

"We succeeded! This is the legendary map!" Mika shouted happily.

Chapter 2: Reading the Map

Bennett and Mika carefully unfolded the map, but soon discovered that the symbols on it were neither any human language Bennett knew nor the Elvish language Mika had seen before. The symbols on the map did not even look like written words, but more like some kind of code or password. The two looked at each other, feeling a little helpless for a moment.

"These symbols look so ancient, more mysterious than any text I have ever seen." Banka said with a frown on his face.

"Maybe we can find an ancient library or scholar to help decipher it." Mika suggested.

So they decided to go back to the town to find someone who could help them interpret the map. After asking around the town, they finally found a scholar who specialized in ancient civilizations.

"Oh, this is a very interesting map." The scholar, wearing a pair of thick glasses, examined the map carefully. "These symbols are indeed very old, but I can try to help you decipher some of them. However, it may take some time."

Bennett and Mika had to stay in the town temporarily, waiting for good news from the scholars. A few days later, the scholars finally deciphered some of the symbols on the map.

"According to my interpretation, this map points to the bottom of the ancient lake," the scholar told them.

“The Ancient Lake? What is that place?” Bennett had never heard of this place.

"This is a lake where, according to legend, ancient magical creatures are sleeping. It is said that those creatures are guarding a huge treasure deep at the bottom of the lake." The scholar explained.

Bennett and Mika were both excited and nervous when they heard the news. They thanked the scholars and prepared to go to the Ancient Lake.

Chapter 3: Exploration of the Ancient Lake

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at a vast lake. The water was crystal clear and exuded a mysterious atmosphere.

"Is this the ancient lake?" Mika asked.

"It should be." Benny nodded, "But how can we find the treasure at the bottom of the lake?"

Just as they were thinking, ripples suddenly appeared on the lake surface, and a huge magical creature floated up from the bottom of the lake. It had a long snake body and sharp claws, and wisdom flashed in its eyes.

"I am the guardian of this lake. Why are you here?" the magical creature said to them telepathically.

Bennett plucked up the courage to answer: "We are here to look for the treasure at the bottom of the lake. It is said that it is one of the largest treasures in history."

The magical creature pondered for a moment and said, "If you can pass my test, I will take you to the treasure at the bottom of the lake. But if you fail, you will stay at the bottom of the lake forever."

Bennett and Mika nodded, indicating that they were willing to accept the test. Then, the magical creature gave them a difficult problem, asking them to solve a complex maze within a specified time and find the holy object in the center of the maze.

The two immediately took action, avoiding the traps and obstacles set by magical creatures while looking for a way out of the maze. In the end, with their excellent teamwork and wisdom, they successfully found the holy object in the center of the maze.

The magical creature looked at them and nodded with satisfaction: "You are indeed extraordinary. You have passed the test. Now, I will take you to the treasure at the bottom of the lake."

Chapter 4: The Final Treasure

The magical creature guided Bennett and Mika to swim to the bottom of the lake. The world at the bottom of the lake was like a mysterious underwater kingdom, surrounded by colorful corals and gems. They flickered in the lake, as if lighting up the entire bottom of the lake.

Finally, they came to a huge stone door inlaid with gems. The magical creature gently touched the stone door with its body, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a golden hall. In the center of the hall was a transparent crystal ball, which seemed to contain infinite power.

"This is the treasure you are looking for." The magical creature said, "This is a sacred artifact left by the ancient gods. It is said that it has the power to change the world."

Bennett and Mika looked at the crystal ball in front of them in amazement, their hearts filled with awe and gratitude. They knew that this adventure was not only for treasure, but also for the growth of the soul and the deepening of friendship.

"Thank you, magical creature." Bennett thanked sincerely, "We will cherish this precious experience and use this power with caution."

The magical creature nodded slightly, then turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the bottom of the lake. Bennett and Mika returned to the surface with the artifact, their hearts filled with hope and confidence for the future.
