Chapter 240 16. Transaction

"Frost and snow. Sycamore tree?"

After hearing Valentina's words, Alagina chewed on this familiar word and finally found the corresponding term in the myth of the Frost Phoenix in the North.

But any northerner just thought that the legendary Sycamore tree did not really exist, because humans have gone deep into the snow-capped mountains countless times, but have never found any clues about the Phoenix Sycamore Tree in it.

"Ah, yes, they are real, at least they once were."

Valentina, who was sitting in a wheelchair, crossed her arms and did not respond. She just glanced at the man in red beside her. The Schwari named Balzac coughed lightly, and then answered Alagina's question, saying,

"Ahem. It's like this. According to existing research, the existing books that can be found rarely describe how the glorious phoenix ended. Even today, you northerners still regard them as immortal gods, but the fact is that they were once mysterious beings who were active and eventually disappeared. The relics in your and my boss' hands are proof of their real existence. They were once the weapons of the two sons of the phoenix."

Alagina looked at Valentina in the wheelchair with a sense of something, and saw that her hands gently pushed open the small wooden box in her hands, revealing the half-moon-shaped black weapon inside.

Unlike Alagina's Ice Prince, this weapon has no other abnormalities even when stored in a wooden box, but if you observe carefully, you will find that a soft light similar to moonlight flows over the blade from time to time, and the coldness permeated in that light is no less than that of the Ice Prince, but it is all contained in the weapon so it is difficult to detect.

When the [Moon Princess] relic revealed its true appearance, the tattoo on Alagina's back became hotter and hotter, and a chilling coldness unconsciously emanated, as if it was demonstrating to the weapon in Valentina's arms.

In contrast, the weapon in Valentina's hand seemed very gentle, without any reaction, just lying quietly in the small wooden box, as if it could not see the Ice Prince in the distance.

"I have been studying these legends for many years. According to unverified rumors in the North, the relationship between the three sons of the phoenix does not seem to be good. They often have disputes with each other, and the six sub-human races that follow them are also involved in this fierce struggle. Therefore, the atmosphere in the North was somewhat tense for a while."

"The extinction of the phoenixes may be related to such a struggle, but this cannot explain what role the phoenix king who lives firmly on the phoenix tree played in the story of the extinction of the phoenix species, why all the phoenixes seem to have evaporated overnight without leaving any traces, and where the legendary phoenix tree is now."

This red-clothed man from Schwarzseem to be a scholar like Fisher, and he specializes in the history of the North. No wonder Fisher felt that he was basically not threatening when he stood next to the lion-man Phyllis before.

Or, most normal scholars are like this. Fisher is a special one among them. Both his research field and combat ability are special.

Balzac in front of him became more and more excited when talking about his research field, and even his speaking speed was obviously much faster.

"Until a few years ago, when I was researching in the Sema Snow Mountain, I unexpectedly found a tomb of the Ashen Bird under the ice. The ancestor of the tomb owner was one of the countless Ashen Birds who followed the eldest son of the Phoenix, Prince Ice. After the Phoenix and the phoenix disappeared for a long time, he and many of his fellow Ashen Birds returned to the vicinity of the snow mountain, where they obtained a clue about the phoenix tree, and regarded it as a hope to return home and sent out their tribesmen to pursue it."

"Hey, the tomb records that before all the phoenixes disappeared, a son of the phoenix secretly sent a scroll sent from the phoenix tree to his loyal subordinates to send it out of the northern continent. That scroll is the Zhenbing now placed in the golden box. No one knows what is recorded in the scroll, but it is most likely that it contains direct clues closely related to the sycamore tree. "

"But unfortunately, although the bird species has sent countless tribesmen overseas to retrieve this item, they have undoubtedly failed in the end, and even paid a painful price for it, so that now their tribesmen are either dead or reduced to vassals. The bird species buried in the bird species tomb is one of the few survivors in their tribe. It was also he who finally decided to give up looking for this clue and took it to the tomb. "

When saying this, Balzac glanced at Ossie standing next to Aragina with a hint of meaning. When she stretched out her wings just now, he recognized that she was a member of the bird species.

But after hearing Balzac's words, Ossie just blinked, as if she didn't understand what he was talking about. She knew very little about things other than guarding, let alone these stories sealed in the wind and snow in the north.

Not getting the expected reaction, Balzac classified Ossie of the bird species as illiterate like Phyllis of the lion species. He hated dealing with such people the most, especially when they were a sub-human species, as if they were barbarians and difficult to communicate with.

He curled his lips and ignored her, instead looking at Alagina mysteriously and said,

"You may not know what kind of race the Phoenix race is. It's not without reason that they are regarded as gods by the creatures in the north. They can see through the future destiny and control the present and future destiny. Anyone who covets the sycamore tree All will be severely punished, even these loyal servants of the Phoenix Sons."

"Our boss has a special purpose in wanting to find the legendary sycamore tree, but you have nothing to do with it, so we don't want you to get involved in this dispute."

After Balzac finished speaking, Valentina, who was sitting in a wheelchair, nodded, her white fingers intertwined, and under the small brim of her hat, her pair of pale silver pupils were very beautiful.

Most people in the north have blue or brown pupils. Even people from other places rarely have pupils of this color. I wonder if it is a unique symbol of the Turan family, just like the blond hair passed down from generation to generation by the Gedelin family. Eyes are the same.

"I have no ill intentions towards you, so I prepared the relics that control the curse of the scroll in advance. If you agree to return the scroll to me, I am willing to pay you a certain amount of compensation, and the price is negotiable. Of course, if you have other conditions, It can also be said that I will try my best to be satisfied.”

Although Valentina is sitting in a wheelchair, the luxurious temperament she reveals in her plainness cannot be concealed, as if these things are just drizzle to her.

Calculating carefully, it seems that the people around Valentina, except for the steam man Heldor behind her, are all hired. Taking into account the journey from the north, the gold box relics prepared to store the scrolls, and the previous If you want to bribe Fisher's check, the money is indeed not a small amount.

After hearing Balzac's suspicious words, Pahz subconsciously recalled the strange corpses that continued to grow feathers after death. She hugged her arms and rubbed them with some shudder, thinking about the frost phoenix in her heart. Faith suddenly made her feel that what the Swali man said was not false.

Just like the belief in the Mother Goddess in the Western Continent, even if you are not a pure believer in the Mother Goddess, you will still feel tabooed when you violate the Mother Goddess's commandments. You can't tell whether it is for peace of mind or if it is true.

But after hearing this, Fisher just raised his eyebrows, and Emhardt, who had only one eye, jumped on his shoulder again and made the same move, and then he leaned into Fisher's ear. While complaining to him,

"You are so bragging and can control your destiny. How come the Phoenix species is so awesome and can't control the destiny of its own demise? Even the Saint and Agares, who is best at tampering with the rules, can't do this kind of thing, let alone the Phoenix species. Well, it would be nice if they could see a little bit of vague prophecy.”

Although the words of criticism were very powerful, the opposite was Emhardt's subtle sound like the flapping of mosquito wings. He was afraid that the other party would get angry and beat him up, so he did not use these righteous words. I only dare to say this to Fisher alone.

In fact, Fisher had already predicted that the reason why this strange scroll would cause the curse of growing feathers was not because the phoenix species could control fate and accurately liquidate any gangsters who coveted the scroll, but because it itself carried some kind of strangeness. , pollution from the spiritual world.

When these people were devoured by the curse, a phenomenon similar to the gaze of the spiritual world appeared around them, and it also had a certain impact on the souls of his group, but the specific reason is not yet known. related to the spirit world

But Emhardt once said before that there was a war between the Phoenix species and the Chaos species, and the Chaos species came from the spirit world. Is there any connection between them?

Alagina was a little moved after hearing this. After all, she was a pirate in exile. These myths and histories in the northern territory were of no use to her. Moreover, there was something strange about this scroll. Even if she was allowed to stay, she would not She might be joking with the lives of her crew members by taking the Iceberg Queen, because she doesn't want all of her crew members to turn into feathered monsters.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Fisher next to her. Fisher understood what she meant. Under the gold box, he pressed his middle finger and thumb against his index finger at the same time, and pinched a little bit on the pulp of his index finger. Blood, and then he accurately controlled the weak magic power mixed with that little bit of blood to leave a mark on the bottom of the gold box.

The mark he is leaving now has a special scientific name in magic, called [Standard Marker]. The rough definition is a clear target that can be pointed to using other magic. If this golden box leaves his hand, he can use other tracking methods in the future. magic to locate this marker.

The opponent's Heldor was a magician who knew magic, but Fisher expected that he would not be able to find the marker. The reason was that the gold box was not an ordinary item, but a relic.

Relics will produce additional magic fluctuations, which can easily cover the fluctuations of marker elements. This is why the current mainstream view in the academic community on the production of relics is that magic materials are used.

While making a mark, Fisher handed the gold box to Alagina and asked her to dispose of the scroll.

"I understand. I'll leave this scroll to you. You give us the money and we'll pay it forward."

Valentina didn't hesitate after hearing this. She reached out and handed the black check to Fisher to Heldor beside her. Then she reached out and rubbed a ring on her white finger. The ring was worn by her. Among all the rings, the only one without magical brilliance is a pure decoration and a companion of hers.

"Here are 5 million Northern Silver Dollars. They are anonymous and can be withdrawn from any bank in the Northern Territory. I remember there is such a place in the Pirate Port. You should be familiar with this."

After hearing this, Pahz glanced at the girl in surprise. The term Pirate Port was actually a secret to other people who were not pirates, just like Fisher. If Alagina hadn't told him, he probably wouldn't have known it. You know this place exists, but this girl knows the situation there very well?

"Zizzi."

Heldor held the check and breathed steam and walked towards Alagina. He first put the check in Alagina's hand, then took a step back and stretched out his hand to her, gesturing for her to put the gold box away. In your own hands.

Alagina handed the box to him, and then he dragged the box back to Valentina's back with one hand, while the other hand held the wheelchair under her again,

"Zizi. Felice, let's go."

It was only then that everyone discovered that Phyllis was squatting on the edge of the beach not far away, groping for something. The clothes on her body were cool, and a lion-like slender tail with a ring of dark brown hair at the end was swaying behind her. Fan-shaped outlines like wipers were swept out on the beach.

"Ah? It's coming, it's coming"

While she agreed, she stood up in a panic. Only then did they realize that this guy was holding a small pile of gold and handicrafts in his arms. As she stood up, her other hand was still reluctantly picking up the sand from the sand. She picked up an ancient copper kettle. Seeing that there was no place to put it, she directly placed the copper kettle on the bulge on her chest, trying to use this method to increase the amount of items she could carry.

"You stupid lion, what are you doing?!"

Balzac, who was dressed in red, looked at Phyllis running towards him and his group excitedly with a lot of treasures in his arms. Under the gaze of so many people, he felt ashamed to be with them for a moment. It reached its peak.

Although he had known for a long time that this leonine was a money-obsessed man who couldn't be more money-obsessed, but this was the first time that he had humiliated this person in front of so many people.

"Damn it, your boss can manage as much treasure as you want with a month's salary, and yet you are going to pick up these rags. Can you pick up things belonging to dead people? It's really shameless!"

"What do you mean, Balzac, you don't know what the more the better, do you? It's not your fault. You are so impatient and stingy!"

Phyllis ran back from the beach with a lot of treasures in her arms. Pahz and Osie looked over there and discovered that there were many hidden items on the beach and in the trees on the island. They should be the items that the crew members came from. Things taken off the ship.

Valentina rubbed her brows with a headache, and spoke coldly to her subordinates,

"That's enough, stop making noise and go back."

Seeing that the boss had spoken, Balzac and Felice also fell silent at the same time. However, Balzac still glanced at Felice with disdain. Felice was still busy counting how many treasures she had brought back. , so I ignored him.

Alagina didn't even look at the black check in her hand. She just handed the check to Pahz next to her. Then she walked to Fisher and said to him,

"Let's go back."

"Um."

Pahz blew the black check in his hand, then put the check paper under the sun and looked at it carefully. After seeing a faint gold seal on the paper in the sun, he finally took it back with confidence. middle.

But Fisher did not leave. Instead, he kept watching Heldor who left holding the gold box.

From just now, he has always had a guess, but he is not completely sure yet.

I still remember that when he left Alagina to chase Phyllis, the guards once said that either the scroll should be handed over to the real phoenix or destroyed. So is it possible that only the real phoenix species can take it? How about taking this thing away from the island?

Just when Alagina noticed Fisher who was still staying in place, in the distance, in Fisher's sight, strange fluctuations suddenly lit up around the golden box in the hand of the steam robot, leaving him behind. The magic mark underneath gradually became distorted.

Seeing this scene, Fisher's expression changed and he quickly shouted to Valentina and the others,

"Wait! Put that box down! Throw it back to the island!"

"Kaka."

Just when Fisher's voice just sounded, gray feathers suddenly grew strangely on Heldor's arm, which was completely composed of steam machinery. The feathers changed the magic emblem engraved on his arm. It was completely squeezed, and in just a moment, his mechanical arms became hairy.

People on both sides were frightened by this sudden turn of events. Osie walked in front of Alagina and protected the injured Alagina, while Alagina used her injured right hand to protect Fisher and push him away. At the very back.

"."

Fisher glanced at Alagina beside him and Osie in front of her, and felt that Osie's not-so-tall figure had taken on too much at once.

Heldor felt no pain, but he immediately threw the golden box back to the inside of the island. As the golden box returned to the island, the growth of the feathers on Heldor's hands also stopped abruptly, but his arms The feathers on it have not faded, and have become as joyful as a feather duster.

Phyllis had originally put all the treasures she had picked up in her arms in their boat. Seeing this scene, she began to worry that those treasures might also be cursed, but she was reluctant to take them off the boat. Take it down, I would rather stay farther away from the ship than throw away the treasures.

Valentina frowned, looked at Heldor's arm and asked,

"Are you okay?"

"Zizi. It's okay. It's just that my right hand is disabled. I have to wait until I get back and replace it."

Seeing that his guess came true, Fisher shook his head with regret. Although he was talking to Alagina beside him, his eyes were always looking at Valentina in the distance.

"It's a pity that only the real Phoenix species can take the scroll away from the island. If you want to see the contents of the scroll, you can only open it here. Let's go and see if there is any food on the island that can bring back the Iceberg Queen. Number."

"Bless me with frost and phoenix. I hope the check smells better. I'll say goodbye."

Pahz in the distance was afraid that Valentina and the others would regret it, so he quickly put the check in his pocket and walked towards the woods behind him with Alagina, leaving only Valentina and the others watching. The mess on the floor gave me a headache.

"Boss, I think I can explain. I really didn't expect that only a real phoenix species could take it out of the island. No, this is completely unreasonable. All the phoenixes had disappeared at that time, but the son of the phoenix sent this scroll to When you get overseas, wait for another phoenix to take it away? "

Balzac carefully picked up the gold box from the ground. He was a scholar hired by Valentina with a lot of money, but he made some mistakes in her actions, so he seemed a little guilty.

But Valentina sighed, shook her head and didn't care, and just said,

"If you can't take it away, then you can only try to open it on the island. I will ask Heldor to help you. You, Phyllis, go back to the ship and ask others to come and help."

There were other helpers hired by Valentina on the ship. In order to obtain the information in this scroll, she made a lot of preparations before setting off from the north, but unexpectedly something happened.

Valentina suddenly thought of the man who was among the pirates. He should have already guessed that the scroll could not be taken out of the island. So, why did he want to get this scroll?

Like yourself? Or do you want to get the treasure of the legendary sycamore tree? Or is he serving others?

It can't be because you want to see what the legendary phoenix species looks like, right?

But no matter what, you still have to be wary of that man until you can’t determine the other person’s true purpose.

"Ahem!"

Just as Valentina was thinking, she suddenly coughed violently. Her white fingers covered her lips. After one or two violent coughs, she lowered her body with a slight gasp. .

"Zizi. Valentina, you'd better go back to the ship first."

"No"

Valentina raised her hand, interrupting Heldor's words behind her. Her gray pupils looked at the gold box in Balzac's hand, and she just said word by word,

"I want to see the information inside with my own eyes, the sooner the better."
