Chapter 248 Compass

Before opening the wooden box, Xifa imagined that the box might contain a bunch of gold bars, some mystical item, a book that recorded some mysterious knowledge, extraordinary materials, or even some terrifying dried internal organs.

But after opening the box, Xifa was dumbfounded. It turned out to be a compass stored inside, which was really unexpected.

If there is anything special, it is probably that the case of the compass is gold, and there is a pattern of feathered snakes on the cover. But Cifer doesn't feel any spirituality in it, which means it's unlikely to be a magical item.

On top of that, it still seems broken, the pointer keeps spinning.

"I don't understand this. The most important funeral object is a compass."

Xifa looked at the coffin lid again: "The deceased inside was looking for something before he was alive. Could it be that this compass is the key. The deceased thought that this compass could lead him to find something important?"

Thinking of this, Xifa put away the compass, even if he didn't get anything in the end, he still had the right to keep it as a souvenir.

Next, Xifa restored the iron coffin, picked up the torch, and left the altar.

In this cave, these people from the Southern Continent must have some secrets. It's a pity that these secrets have already followed their deaths, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to dig out.

Just as Xifa passed a stone house, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

buckle buckle—

In this quiet cave, in the stone house where the coffin was placed, there was a sudden knock on the door. This scene and the atmosphere reminded Xifa of the horror movies he had seen in his previous life.

He immediately raised his hand, and the crimson rose in his hand, condensing into a fireball.

buckle buckle—

There was another knock on the door, and a foot came through the closed door, and Sifer saw the tuxedo, and the white gloves, and the headless butler of Oswald.

The messenger is here!

Sifa breathed a sigh of relief.

I was almost scared to death by you, but then again, you are really polite, you never show up directly, every time you show up where there is a door, and you must knock on the door first. Xifa disperses the flame on his palm, rubs it again Cheek, he didn't use 'Traveler with a Thousand Faces' to transform into the Duke's face.

However, looking at the messenger's headless figure, Xifa felt that it was meaningless to change.

The headless messenger who came forward put his hand on his chest, bowed slightly to Sifa, and then took out a letter.

Sifa has seen it, and the envelope is signed: Oswald.

"Please send my regards to Oswald." Sifa put away the letter, not going to read it in this gloomy cave, and said politely to the messenger.

The headless butler started to back away, as if he was going to leave, Xifa suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "I want to know, can you deliver the letter for me?"

"For example, send it to Backlund?"

The headless butler stopped, reached into his arms, and took out a notepad and an absorbent pen. It was quickly written in a notebook and presented to Sifa.

"A charge is required, depending on the distance. For Backlund, calculated from here, it will cost at least 1 pound."

Good guy.

You still have this kind of service, is this a private job? However, what do you want gold pounds for a messenger.

"No problem, if I need to send a letter, can I call you?" Xifa nodded.

The messenger quickly wrote another line on the notebook, and then presented it to Xifa again.

It said: At any time.

Very service spirit.

This time, the headless butler really left. It re-entered the door and disappeared into the room where the knock was made just now.

Xifa walked out of the cave, looked back, and then left.

After trapping a few pheasants, Sifa knocked them out and tied them together, but didn't bring them back to the beach right away. He sat down in the shade of a tree and took out the letter that Oswald had sent by courier.

After tearing open the envelope and taking out a folded letter paper, Xifa suddenly smelled the scent of ink.

He spread the letter paper and read the words from the letter.

"My dear Duke, congratulations, you have a job."

"We recently discovered that some islands have strange customs. You should know, whether it is the Rorsted Islands, the Gargas Islands, or other islands."

"These islands all have local beliefs, and what they believe in is nothing more than sea gods, which belong to the conceptual things imagined by the local aborigines."

"The strange thing is that on some islands, some of our investigators found that the local aborigines do not believe in the gods of the sea, but gods of other concepts."

"And in the communication with these natives who do not believe in the Sea God, we found that they generally believe that the gods they believe in have left behind some kind of treasure. It is not surprising if only one or two natives on the island think so. After all, the sea, Legends abound about the treasure."

"But the residents of five or six islands already think so, it's not easy. We suspect that there may really be a certain relic, it was discovered once, and after that, people who knew him, for some purpose, put The information got out."

"After time has passed, the initial information was tainted with mystery, and gradually evolved into the current statement."

"Now, I need you to go to sea to search for this information to verify our ideas. If there are real treasures, then as the Antiquities Conservation Association, we must not let those lovely things continue to be buried in the dark and damp underground, Or in the bottom of the sea where no one knows."

"There is no specific time limit for this task. You collect relevant information, no matter what kind of information, you can form a report and send it to the courier. I will give corresponding rewards and contributions based on the information you provide."

"If you feel in danger, you can apply for support, or you can abort the mission."

"There are currently similar legendary islands, including Sky Island, Orkney Island, Ramsay Island, and Windmill Island. You can start your investigation from these islands."

"I hope to get your report as soon as possible."

After reading it, Xifa set fire to the letter and the envelope, and then went down the mountain with his prey.

There is no time limit for Oswald's mission. Anyway, I have to be active at sea, so I just need to find an opportunity to investigate.

A day passed in a blink of an eye.

The next day, on the pretext of going hunting, Xifa ran to the mountain again, found a remote corner, and summoned the 'Book of Mysteries'. He wanted to identify the compass and the things left by the wraith.

"The all-seeing eye."

"The god who overlooks everything."

As the incantation was uttered, the colors of the surrounding mountains and forests became extraordinarily bright. Feeling the heaviness in his hands, Xifa raised his head and saw those illusory classics emitting a faint light appearing on his hands.

He was not in a hurry to do the appraisal. He first turned to the message board page, looked at the message asking for information on modern weapons, and looked at the reply below.

'Mo Yefeng: I can't find it, next one, goodbye! '

ah this

Xifa felt a critical hit of 999 points.
