Early the next morning, the group made some preparations and set off again.
"But then again, I didn't expect you to be proficient in tracking …"
Lauren Claudian followed behind the group. Seeing that Xu Shenxing and the others chose a direction and moved forward without any hesitation, he could not help but sigh. "As far as I know, only some mercenaries who were born hunters are good at tracking. Previously, when I saw your skills, I thought that you were from the elite army like the Royal Guards. "
"Ah, yes." Xu Shenxing was stunned for a moment, but he quickly put on a matter-of-fact expression. "For us, this is just a basic skill."
To be honest, a few years ago, not long after he transmigrated to Oravia, Xu Shenxing had indeed learned tracking skills from his former mercenary comrades. But that was old history. After obtaining the Shining Sacred Sword, he had never done any tracking work again.
It was the same now. He was just following Charlotte. Anyway, with her perception, there was no need to worry about not being able to find the target.
In fact, if Charlotte was not determined to play some role-playing game, it would only take a moment to find the thieves who stole the Golden Apple. Under the perception of the Divine Maiden, even if the group of thieves escaped thousands of miles away, it was no different from running naked in front of them.
"Is that so? But from what I've seen and heard from the nobles, even the Grand Knights in the King's City can't do what you do. "
Lauren Claudian muttered with some doubt.
It had to be said that timid … or cautious people were often the most sensitive and could detect something unreasonable first.
If this was the set of a horror movie or mystery drama, then this guy would probably be the first victim.
Fortunately, although Xu Shenxing and the others had a headache with this guy's sensitivity, they did not really want to kill him.
"Compared to that," Charlotte seemed to have the same idea, so while leading the way, she straightforwardly changed the topic. "I want to know more about your Golden Apple."
Hearing her mention this, even Wayler, who was still a little absent-minded, pricked up his ears.
Mo Li, on the other hand, subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
"As for the Golden Apple, it was actually Ms. He Wanglan who gave it to me. She asked me to bring it to the top of Mount Amos."
Lauren Claudian seemed to be hesitant about telling the truth, but in the end, Xu Shenxing's display of strength yesterday, as well as his current situation, made the knight, who was considered a smart person, choose to tell the truth.
"But didn't you say that there was nothing on that mountain top, only a vast expanse of white snow?"
Wayler couldn't help but ask.
After the conversation last night, he already believed Lauren's past experience.
Therefore, somewhere in the boy's heart, he was probably waiting for Lauren to tell him that the empty Mount Amos was just a hoax made up by him.
"That's right, it is indeed a vast expanse of whiteness." But Lauren mercilessly shattered the boy's fantasy. "So when Ms. He Wanglan gave me the Golden Apple and told me to climb Mount Amos again, I was also very confused."
"From what you said, the lady called He Wanglan seemed to have answered your doubts?"
Xu Shenxing, who saw that Lauren seemed to want to gloss over this topic, interrupted at the right time.
"… That's right."
This time, Lauren was silent for a longer time, but in the end, he sighed and said as if admitting defeat, "The whole story started from more than two hundred years ago."
Hearing this, Weiler subconsciously tightened his grip on the strap of his bag.
In the wooden box in the bag, there was also a letter that had been kept for more than two hundred years.
"I believe you also know that it was the era when the Supreme King, Alan Beerbohm, unified the whole world and created the first and only unified dynasty in history."
Lauren Claudian took a deep breath and then began to narrate, "The king, who now only exists in myths, is said to have met a real god. It is precisely because of this that he was able to turn the tables in just a few years, defeat all the other warlords, and become the king of the world. "
He told the story very well. It was full of rhythm and cadence, giving Xu Shenxing the illusion that he was listening to a storyteller.
If it was an ordinary person, they would probably only treat it as a myth. But when he heard the word god, Xu Shenxing couldn't help but look at Charlotte.
"But after the fall of the Supreme King, Alan, the Beerbohm Dynasty quickly declined. The reason was that the god who protected them left." Lauren didn't notice the abnormality of Xu Shenxing and continued, "It was precisely because of this that the Beerbohm Dynasty was finally destroyed by the iron hooves of the barbarians."
"But what does this have to do with the Golden Apple?"
Xu Shenxing asked.
"That's related to a secret that hasn't been spread among the people."
The knight replied calmly, "Legend has it that the gods live on the top of Mount Amos. The 'Golden Orchard' should be a misrepresentation of this secret … Well, actually, it's not a misrepresentation."
"Does the Golden Orchard really exist?"
Weiler asked hurriedly.
"Is the Golden Apple delicious?"
Mo Li opened his mouth and asked.
Lauren Claudien was dumbfounded by Mo Li's question. After a while, he decided to ignore this loli, "Although I didn't see it the last time I went to the top of Mount Amos, there should be such an orchard somewhere on the mountain. That Golden Apple is the best proof. "
He paused for a moment, then continued: "According to Ms. He Wanglan, I'm afraid that only those who possess the token of the Supreme King Alan Beerbohm can enter the golden orchard and pay respects to the Lord God. And the token is the Golden Apple that has been passed down from generation to generation in Ms. He Wanglan's family. That lady is the only descendant of the Supreme King, Alan Beerbohm, who lived incognito from that era. "
"I see … I see. So that's why those guys came to snatch the Golden Apple."
Weiler showed an expression of realization.
"Although it's a bit disappointing, I'm afraid you were deceived by that Ms. He Wanglan."
Suddenly, Charlotte said coldly.
"What?"
Lauren Claudien couldn't react for a while.
"The secret you mentioned, I've actually heard of it … Don't be in a hurry to refute. If it's really a secret, the other party wouldn't easily tell you, someone who isn't very familiar with you, right?"
"This …"
"The secret I heard is a bit more complicated. The Golden Apple is indeed very important, but it's not the key to opening the Golden Orchard. The key to opening the gate to the orchard … "
Charlotte looked at Weiler who was still in a daze, "It's the 'real' descendant of the Supreme King, Alan Beerbohm."
