Athena knew the importance of the "grand master's inheritance", so she didn't argue with Lomont anymore. She turned around and went to Gade.
"My friend, if I'm not mistaken, you and Athena … are 'very good' friends." Lomont smiled and gave Chen Rui a thumbs up. "I take back what I just said. Perhaps Athena already understands the matters between men and women … You guys still have 'important' things to do later? You must remember the magical effects of the Passion Ring. I believe you will thank me when the time comes. "
Looking at Lomont's ambiguous smile, Chen Rui was speechless for a while. However, he heard Lomont's intention to leave from his tone. He asked curiously, "You're leaving?"
"Yes, once the name Lomont is exposed, those troublemakers will come here soon. If I don't leave now, I won't be able to escape."
Although he said so, Chen Rui could hear that Lomont was afraid of implicating Athena. This guy was lustful and glib, but he was actually a good person.
"You're not going to tell her?" Chen Rui turned his head and glanced at the stone house of the mining office. "Aren't you afraid that Athena will blame you for leaving without saying goodbye again?"
"So, I'll leave the task of saying goodbye to you. You can't take my benefits for free right?" Lomont shrugged and took another sip of wine. "If Athena asks about my whereabouts, just say that I'm wandering around for a while. After about three months, I'll go to the Silent Night Wetland."
Silent Night Wetland! Chen Rui's heart moved, but Lomont had already turned around and left.
"By the way," Lomont's footsteps suddenly stopped. "If you can, help me pass a message to someone. His sword is very good, but it's not enough. I look forward to the day when the sharpness of that sword is qualified for my left eye to look at it. "
Left eye? Why only left eye? There must be something weird with this left eye! Perhaps this was why Lomont had sensed his identity? Chen Rui frowned. The Demon Realm is huge, and there are all kinds of strange things. The Super System is not omnipotent. But for now, there was no need to be hostile towards this guy like before. Perhaps he would even be a good friend or a good opponent.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui smiled and answered cleverly, "Of course … if I know this person."
Lomont curled his lips and revealed a knowing smile. Without looking back, he waved his hand and staggered forward with the bottle of wine in his hand. Soon, he disappeared from sight.
"That guy left?" Not long after, Athena appeared beside Chen Rui. She was not stupid. She knew that Lomont would definitely leave, but she used Chen Rui's words to avoid embarrassing this guy. After all, he was her true friend.
Chen Rui nodded and said, "Yes, he also asked me to say goodbye to you. He said that he will go to the Silent Night Wetland 3 months later."
"Silent Night Wetland?" Athena's eyes lit up. "It seems that this guy still hasn't forgotten about Delia. Every five years, Delia will go to the Silent Night Wetland. It seems that she is looking for some very important treasure. "
Silent Night Wetland? Treasure?
Chen Rui thought of something when he first heard Lomont talk about the Silent Night Wetland. Now that he heard Athena say this, his heart suddenly jumped: Is it really related to Paglio's treasure?
Athena told him about how she got to know Lomont back then. It was before she came to the Dark Moon City. At that time, she was still in the Warlock Fortress under her father, George. The Warlock Fortress was an important defensive place at the junction of the Fallen Angel Empire and the Bloody Empire. It had a long history. It had a strong outer wall and arrow tower. It was equivalent to a huge fortress. It was also equipped with various defensive magic circles. It could be called the most powerful line of defense of the Fallen Angel Empire.
Athena, who grew up in the fortress, was equivalent to the little princess of Warlock. She had also developed a hearty and generous personality after getting along with these soldiers since she was a child. In the nearby Black Cloud Town, Athena happened to rescue a pair of seriously injured man and woman. They were Delia and Lomont. They claimed to be explorers who returned from the Silent Night Wetland. Delia was beautiful and generous. Lomont was witty and a little lustful. Athena was only 16 years old at that time. They hit it off very well. They became good friends while recuperating.
Soon, the assassins who chased them came to the Black Cloud Town. Although Delia and Lomont were powerful, they had not recovered from their serious injuries. Thanks to Athena, she found the eldest brother of the Warlock Fortress, Tawana, in time to kill the assassins.
Athena then knew that Delia's brother, Broc, was one of the three demon generals of the Shadow Empire. For the sake of benefits, he ignored her opposition and forced her to marry an old guy who was hundreds of years older. As a result, Delia escaped with the help of Lomont. She was chased by the assassins sent by Broc along the way.
Athena's father, George. Wales, was the first general of the Fallen Angel Empire. He was powerful and famous. Broc knew that he couldn't use forceful means, so he changed his strategy and pressured General George through the diplomacy of the Shadow Empire. Since the Lord of Midnight Sun of the Fallen Angel Empire had already died, Prince Obsidian's strength was far inferior to the 2 emperors, Raizen and Catherine. He barely signed the peace agreement by relying on his brilliant political skills. General George knew the current situation of the 3 empires, so he could only ask Athena not to intervene in this matter.
Athena was about to secretly help her 2 friends escape, but Lomont suddenly left without saying goodbye. Delia was very sad. Finally, under pressure, she had to return to the Shadow Empire with the messenger who came to the fortress. Before leaving, he gave Athena an ice crystal and promised to repay her in the future.
For this, Athena, who had always been strong, cried. Soon after, she agreed to her father's request and came to the Dark Moon Estate.
The exploration in the Silent Night Wetland was not an excuse. Delia's family had a lost secret treasure which was very important to her. Delia was talented and had a special ability to sense this secret treasure. After years of searching, she finally found the clues of this treasure in the Silent Night Wetland. However, there were countless powerful traps near the treasure. Every time she went, she would return with serious injuries. Gradually, Delia also figured out some rules. Every 3 years, the power of the traps around the treasure would weaken for a few days. It was the best time to explore. 3 years ago, Delia and Lomont were chased by the powerhouses sent by Broc. They risked everything to go to the Silent Night Wetland to search for treasure. They wanted to get the secret treasure to resist Broc, but they returned in failure again. 3 years later, she would definitely go again.
Hearing this, Chen Rui was almost sure that Delia's family was one of the victims of the poison dragon's plundering. The lost secret treasure should be among Paglio's treasures. It seemed that after Arux's matter was settled, he had to consider going to the Silent Night Wetland.
Chen Rui whispered to Athena, "I have already discussed with Gade about leaving. We will set off together now and then split up halfway. You and Kegu will wait for me at the green leaves forest, at the old place we passed by last time. Also, help me prepare food and water for 3 days. Mengda and I will go to the place designated by the grand master. "
Athena asked worriedly, "Are you going alone?"
"I can only go alone, but just in case, I will bring Dodo." Although Lomont's matter was settled, Chen Rui still decided to let Athena leave this place so that he could act freely.
He knew that Athena was still worried about Gade and the miners, so he said, "You saw it today. That Culia is obviously coming for me, and you had a big fight with Culia. If we stay here, we will implicate them even more. Even if you can defeat Culia, what about the deputy leader, Barnacle? And the leader … So leaving here is actually killing two birds with one stone. "
Athena thought about it and felt that it was indeed reasonable. Before the two came to the mine, although the miners had a hard life, they were not in danger for a while. After the two came, the bandits immediately came to the door.
"Then let's go now …" Athena took two steps and suddenly turned around. "If you were Lomont three years ago, what would you do?"
This random question made Chen Rui stunned. He only reacted after a while. He thought about it and replied, "I can see that Lomont is not a weak person. He must have his own difficulties to leave Delia three years ago. But everyone has a different way of dealing with things. If it were me … I would rather die with the woman I love. "
"Oh …" Athena responded with a blank expression. When she turned her face, her slightly red cheeks suddenly showed a happy expression. She quickly walked toward the wyvern.
Chen Rui secretly shook his head behind her: This girl seems to have more and more thoughts …
Chen Rui greeted Gade. Under the gaze of the miners, he rode the wyvern with Athena and left Mountain Lugang. After flying for a short distance, the two split up. Athena went to the green leaf forest, and the place where Chen Rui went was naturally not the place designated by the grand master, but Mountain Xilang.
Culia had just been defeated by Athena and Lomont. Now was the best time to kill him while he was weak. The purpose of Chen Rui's trip was not only to take Culia's life, but also to learn more information from him. Otherwise, he would have asked Lomont to kill him just now.
After the previous two experiences, Chen Rui was now familiar with the way to Mountain Xilang. It didn't take long for him to sneak into the foot of the mountain.
Due to the wyvern's fast speed, Culia and his men who suffered a loss had not returned yet. There were only a dozen bandits left. Chen Rui changed his plan temporarily. He targeted a dark elf bandit who was alone, caught him, and interrogated him. Sure enough, the little minions knew very little. Chen Rui knew that these people's hands were stained with the blood of miners and caravans, so he didn't show mercy. He killed this guy directly and killed the rest of the bandits as quickly as possible.
Just when Culia and his men returned to the foot of Mountain Xilang, they stopped far away and showed fear.
A giant dragon with a skeleton actually appeared in the residential area at the foot of the mountain. Its ferocious appearance was even clearer in the bright daylight – spirit dragon!
That terrifying spirit dragon actually appeared at this time, and it came to the foot of the mountain from the main pit!
The gate of the residential area and the nearby stone houses had been destroyed beyond recognition. There was not a single bandit left. They were most likely eaten by this terrifying spirit dragon!
At this moment, Culia's heart was as depressed as he could be. This spirit dragon's appearance is really as terrifying as the rumors say. It just had to appear at this critical moment. Even if I'm not injured, I'm not its opponent, let alone now that I'm injured so badly?
It seems that this trip from Town Leia to Mountain Xilang is really unlucky!
The spirit dragon had already seen the bandits. It let out a low roar and slowly walked toward them.
The bandits were terrified. At this time, a bandit who looked like a dark elf rushed to Culia and shouted, "You guys block the spirit dragon. I'll protect Sir Culia and leave first!"
As he said, he carried Culia on his back and ran. The speed advantage of the dark elves was fully exerted, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye. The bandits didn't dare to "block" the spirit dragon anymore, so they fled in all directions.
This kid is quite smart and has a bright future. Culia was carried by the dark elf and ran all the way. He secretly praised him, but he didn't notice that the dark elf's mouth was showing a strange smile.
