Zhang Yu had analyzed before that Almote was Yan Xulun's absolute confidant. No matter what the Yan father and son wanted to do, they couldn't avoid him. Especially when it came to secret operations that involved the outside world, they couldn't do without his support.
Therefore, he skipped the previous probing and directly asked him about this matter.
Almote lay powerlessly at the bottom of the big pit. He replied, "It's this matter … I know about it. I was the one who got someone to do it. This matter … what does it have to do with you? "
Zhang Yu said, "Shu Tong is my guarantor."
Almote said, "So it's your thing …" After a while, he said, "Can you promise me something?"
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "That depends on what it is."
Almote's tone became hurried as he said, "This matter is not difficult for you. I know that I won't be able to return alive today. I hope that you can keep this news a secret and don't let my fiancée know about this."
Zhang Yu said, "You are one of the four marquises in the Army of God. Even if I don't say anything, your disappearance can't be hidden for long."
Almote coughed violently twice. Blood kept coming out of his mouth. He gathered all his strength and said, "Yes, but as long as she isn't sure that I'm dead, then there's still hope in her heart. She can still live. Maybe after a long time, she will forget about me …"
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I won't take the initiative to talk about this matter."
Almote said gratefully, "Thank you!"
He lay for a while and seemed to have recovered some strength. Then he said, "I put that thing …" His voice gradually became inaudible. It didn't seem like he didn't have the strength to answer, but that he was afraid of something.
Zhang Yu now had superhuman senses. Although Almote's voice was very soft, he still heard it clearly. He nodded and said, "So it was there. Do you have any proof?"
Almote said, "I have a ring on me. That is my trust. You can take it."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment, then asked, "What excuse did Yan Xulun use to get you to come out this time?"
Almote said regretfully, "I hunted a Giant White Mountain Bull, the king of the Wilderness, a spiritual creature. It should have been my prey, but now it seems that I can only give it to someone else."
Zhang Yu looked at him and asked, "What use is that thing that you took?"
Almote was a little surprised. He said, "You don't know? It's okay. You'll know when you get it … Actually, I'm a little regretful. If I didn't have this thing, maybe …"
His voice became softer and softer until it was completely inaudible.
Zhang Yu took a few steps forward, and came to a closer place. With the telepathy of the Lake of Heart, he was not afraid that the other would use a method of mutual destruction. In fact, Almote was at his last breath at this moment, and even his consciousness was blurred.
His gaze fell, and a moment later, an exquisitely carved ring flew out from Almote's body, and landed in his palm.
This thing should have been carved out from some kind of hard Cloud Outline Stone. With Almote's ability, he could even use it as a throwing weapon at a crucial moment. No wonder it was not damaged in the battle just now.
He put this thing away, and then guided it with his mind.
Sword light suddenly leaped up, and went far into the sky, and then suddenly fell down!
Hong!
The whole crater exploded, and billowing dust spread out.
When everything calmed down, Almote's body was already gone. He had been completely shattered into pieces.
However, it could be seen that the blood that splattered out did not disappear because of this. Instead, it turned into beads of blood, and rolled back and forth on the ground.
After a while, all the beads of blood seemed to be pulled by some kind of power, and gathered in one place, finally condensing into a blood-red gem. Under the sunlight, it looked sparkling and translucent, and abnormally bright.
Zhang Yu's gaze focused, and this thing floated in front of him.
This gem was a divine robe. As long as this thing was integrated into someone's body, the mortal would immediately be able to obtain extraordinary power. It was perfectly stripped of everything that originally belonged to the gods, and was the crystallization of the wisdom and superb skills of the predecessors of Tianxia.
The reason why this thing was not called Divine Crystal, Divine Stone, and so on was because once this thing was integrated into someone's body, it would form a layer of veined patterns on the surface of the body, as if a layer of gorgeous robe was draped over it.
Actually, the origin of the divine robes was different, and the strength of the gods who had been stripped of their power was also different. Among them, the more important one was actually the person who wore the divine robe.
Some divine robes were taken from powerful gods, but if the person who inherited the divine robe was not compatible with it, then they would not be able to exert the original power that it possessed, and it was even possible that they would not be able to do anything.
On the contrary, some divine robes that were originally made from weak gods, if they fell into the hands of the right person, they would be able to exert more powerful power.
Just like the divine robe of the "Beauty Goddess", it was only useful on Almote. When it was in the hands of others, it was unusually mediocre, not to mention becoming one of the four marquises of the Army of God.
He thought for a moment, and put it in his pocket. Then he stretched out his hand, and Xia Jian flew over, grasped the hilt, and returned it to its sheath.
He looked around again, and with a flash of light, he flew up into the air again. When he was in the air, he identified it for a moment, and with a bang, he flew towards the west!
Looking down from the sky, the earth was constantly flying back under him, and the running cattle and horses in the wilderness were frightened and fled in all directions. Not long after, the outline of Auspicious Light City appeared clearly.
After flying for a while, he found a place outside the city where there was no one and floated down. He tightened his cloak, and with a sword in hand, he stepped into Auspicious Light from the south gate of the city. He called a carriage, drove for a while, and stopped in front of the bank office in the west of the city.
Auspicious Light City had two bank offices in the east and west of the city. The bank office in the west of the city was rebuilt from an aboriginal temple, and it was a typical step-like building. The stone hall above was supported by ten huge pillars, and there were still exquisite stone carvings left on it.
After the bank office took over, they added two sloping, right-angled wing corridors on both sides, and left a large open space in front of the building. Because it was close to the port, the cloth auction in Auspicious Light City was generally held here.
After Zhang Yu walked in, he took out the jade seal and was immediately respectfully invited in. The bank office also specially sent a Jin Guan to accompany him.
The Jin Guan carefully asked what he needed to do, and Zhang Yu took out the stone ring. The Jin Guan took out a piece of cloth, and carefully picked up the stone ring. After checking it, he said, "Shen Zhi, please come with me."
Zhang Yu followed him into the hall, along a corridor, and finally came to the front of a stone warehouse door. The space here was very large, and it should be underground.
The Jin Guan made a gesture of inviting him in, and respectfully said, "I'll have to trouble you to wait in the side compartment for a moment, I'll come in a moment."
Zhang Yu nodded, and entered the side compartment, and sat down to wait.
After a while, the Jin Guan came out with a stone box, and placed it on the table in front of him, and said, "Shen Zhi, you can check if there are any losses." After saying that, he cupped his hands, and left first.
Zhang Yu glanced at the stone box, and the lid of the stone box slowly flew up, and gently fell to the side. Inside, there was a square item wrapped in cloth, and it could be seen that it was another box. In addition, there were a few letters stuffed inside.
His eyes moved slightly. Others might think that this cloth bag was nothing, but he recognized it. This was the old cloth used to cover the top of the bookcase at home.
He was sure that this was what his adoptive father left behind.
Thus, he stretched out his hand and opened it. Then, he opened the box inside, revealing a damaged stone slab. There were many symbols on it.
It was actually this thing?
As soon as he saw the symbols on it, many memories came to his mind.
He remembered that when he was young, he would often read some obscure and awkward words with his adoptive father, and those words were very similar to the symbols on the stone slab. However, when he later learned various languages, he never came across anything similar.
Interestingly, if he didn't look at these things, he wouldn't be able to remember the pronunciation, but now that it was reflected in his eyes, he immediately remembered.
He knew that this thing was not simple, or else Almote and Yan Xulun would definitely not try so hard to get this thing.
It seemed that the clues should be in those letters, and he could take it back and slowly examine it.
He packed up the things again, and called the Jin Guan in, and had him put it in a thick leather box, and then walked out with it in his hand.
When he was about to walk out of the door, he turned around and said to the Jin Guan, "I hope you'll forget about this matter." As he spoke, an unfathomable power was transmitted from his voice.
The Jin Guan was slightly dazed, and then respectfully said, "Yes, I will forget."
Zhang Yu turned around and walked out of the hall. The light outside was very bright, and looking out, he could see that the port in the distance was very busy. On the stone steps below, there were constantly people going up and down, and there were also a few children running back and forth, occasionally letting out cheerful laughter. It seemed that the whole city was still brimming with vitality and vitality.
After standing there for a moment, he walked down the stone steps.
