The Bald Monk in the City

Chapter 211 Mezzanine (one more!)

After Yi Qiu chatted with the two guards at the sentry tower for a while, he walked in along the entrance of the western valley.

Yi Qiu turned around and looked, the light of the sentry tower had disappeared under the towering cliffs of the valley.

According to the elder sentinel, in the wilds outside, there are many beasts with violent blood.

They are more ferocious and aggressive than normal beasts.

Yi Qiu thought for a while, and he suspected that those who followed it before were probably monsters like Rat.

No one knows exactly how many violent beasts exist in the vast wilderness.

According to the predictions of the kingdom's scholars, if all these violent beasts flood into the kingdom.

So for the kingdom, it is undoubtedly an epic disaster that is enough to overthrow.

After listening to the advice of scholars at that time, the ruler of the kingdom negotiated with many churches, and finally spent a lot of money to build a series of sentry towers in the border areas of the kingdom.

Specific magic is attached to the sentry towers, which can expel the entry of wild beasts.

And each sentry tower sent at least two guards to guard the sentry tower, responsible for the daily operation and maintenance of the sentry tower.

But so far, the raging beast disaster predicted by scholars has not happened.

This also made the kingdom complain about the decision of the ruler back then, because the establishment of the sentry tower cost a lot of money, which led to a stalemate in the subsequent war with the enemy country due to funding problems.

The old sentinel seemed worried. He had been guarding the tower for almost twenty years.

If the ruler of the current kingdom decides to abolish or reduce the number of sentry towers, he will undoubtedly be in a very bad situation.

Yi Qiu suspected that there was some kind of large-scale branch line in that area, and the expression of I have a story, do you have any wine on the face of the older sentinel among the two guards on the watchtower also aggravated Yi Qiu's suspicion.

However, based on his charm, after chatting for a while, Yi Qiu didn't get any relevant task prompts.

Maybe the paladin's arrival will trigger related side missions, but for Yi Qiu, it's obviously not very reliable.

However, Yi Qiu really doesn't have much interest in doing a branch line, unless the branch line can provide enough rewards to make Yi Qiu's heart beat.

Because generally speaking, the rewards of tasks are not as good as those dropped by bosses of the same level - after all, there is no middleman to make a difference in the drops of bosses...

Touching his bald head, Yi Qiu opened the map and looked at it.

At this time, the night was already very dark, because the mobile phone could not be turned on due to the slight change of some substances, Yi Qiu could only vaguely calculate it based on the countdown of the temporary team copy.

It should be about 2 to 3 o'clock in the morning, Yi Qiu looked up at the sky, except for a full moon, the stars in the sky were dim.

Fortunately, at this time, Yuanyue had gotten rid of the entanglement of the dark clouds, and Yi Qiu's vision became clearer.

It may be that the previous flight stimulated Yi Qiu's nerves, or it may be that the long-term meditation practice has improved Yi Qiu's energy. For some reason, Yi Qiu does not feel too tired now.

Yi Qiu was going to go to the location of the parchment left by the mercenary he got in the treasure chest of the goblin leader, and it happened that it was not very far from where Yi Qiu was now.

In the cold night wind in the early morning, Yi Qiu moved quickly.

…………

…………

After disturbing the night life of the three goblins and being chased by the angry goblins for a certain distance, Yi Qiu found the place recorded on the parchment.

There is a dead tree here, the torso of which has been cut off, and it may be that the mercenaries passing by took some to light the bonfire.

In the valley, there are some scattered dead trees of this kind.

While not common, it's not rare either.

Perhaps it is due to long-term exposure to the sun and rain, or it may be due to the material of the tree itself. Although this dead tree is easy to burn, it will produce very pungent smoke.

Most of the time, if there is no dead grass or the like nearby, the mercenaries will take some to support the combustion.

Yi Qiu searched around, but found no unusual clues.

Without the ferocious monsters that Yi Qiu expected, or the terrain full of murderous intentions, there is nothing...

It seems that there is no difference between this place and other areas in the valley, and it looks very ordinary.

After thinking about it, Yi Qiu took out the parchment scroll to have a look, and compared it with the map.

There should be no problem with the address, Yi Qiu did not find the wrong place.

Looking around, Yi Qiu finally focused his attention on the dead tree, which was the only slightly different thing nearby.

Relying on his intuition, Yi Qiu decided that there was something wrong with the tree.

Without looking to see if there was any hidden information on the dead tree, Yi Qiu decided to smash the dead tree open.

Anyway, it's just an unexpected harvest. It's best to have a harvest, and it's fine if there is no harvest. Yi Qiu doesn't intend to spend more energy on it.

Yi Qiu pulled Shi'e out from his waist, and then transformed it into a heavy stick, aiming at the remaining tree trunk!

bump!

As the broken wood flew, an iron box that he didn't know how to put in appeared in Yi Qiu's vision.

There used to be a lock on the iron box, but now it was covered with rust, and Yi Qiu tore the lock off without much effort.

Then, Yi Qiu backed away a little bit, and was about to use Shi'e to push the iron box away.

Although he felt that it was unlikely that a mercenary would cast any magic trap on the box, after all, there were only 2 books in the druid hut that were cast with magic traps.

But in order to prevent the boat from capsizing in the gutter, Yi Qiu thought it was better to be on the safe side.

Crack!

Just after Yi Qiu pushed the iron box away with Shi'e, there was a burst of dazzling silver light.

Suddenly there was a slight triggering sound of the machine spring in the iron box, and then a crossbow bolt shot out hidden in the silver light with a sharp sound of wind!

Boom!

Because Yi Qiu backed away, the crossbow shot at the mountain wall behind Yi Qiu after flying for a certain distance.

Then, after a dull piercing sound, most of the crossbow arrow's sound didn't enter the mountain wall!

Yi Qiu touched his bald head, and used Shi'er to fiddle with the box again, but there was no other movement.

Under the faint moonlight, the opened iron box emitted a dazzling silver light.

Yi Qiu took a closer look and found that the iron box was almost full of Kingdom Coins!

Because of the protection of the iron box, these kingdom coins look very new.

In the middle of the iron box, there is a modified crossbow. It seems that the crossbow was shot from this crossbow.

Because the number is too large, Yi Qiu has not counted the Kingdom coins for the time being.

He put the Kingdom Coins into the item backpack temporarily, and the iron box suddenly seemed empty.

Yi Qiu tried to pull the iron box out of the dead tree, but it didn't move. It seemed that the iron box was firmly fixed inside by some special technique.

But although Yi Qiu can't observe the size of the iron box too intuitively, from the current point of view, Yi Qiu feels that the space he sees is smaller than the actual size of the iron box, which means that the iron box should have a sandwich.

But after Yi Qiu tapped all the areas, there was no empty echo.

Obviously, Yi Qiu's clumsy techniques and the experience gained from certain film and television works are not enough for Yi Qiu to discover the hidden interlayer.

After thinking about it, Yi Qiu decided to smash it open with Shi'e.

According to Yi Qiu's thinking, if it is a precious magic item, it will not necessarily break under Shi'e's smashing.

If not, then it is obviously useless to Yi Qiu.

So Yi Qiu lifted Shi'e up and smashed it down on the iron box!
