Chapter 754 753. Interlocking Clue Communication Method

After receiving Sawyer's package, the two of them sat down in a remote corner of the tavern.

There was nothing in Sawyer's package, only a few notebooks tightly wrapped in oil paper.

The things recorded in the notes are very sparse, and there are huge gaps between them. There is no date as a gap, and even some key and sensitive words have some nicknames.

Looking at the entire notebook, I have no idea what he is talking about. It is a code book with no translation method.

Normally, if a mission in [Foreign Land] reaches this step, Mo Cheng would probably click [Abandon Mission] directly, because he knows very well that the next step to obtain the decryption codebook will be another mission.

This task will most likely require you to travel far away, talk to troublesome people, and even have to hold your nose and perform several tedious and unnecessary tasks for those guys who are glaring at you. The reason is just that the other party needs [test] 】you.

Just recalling the past decryption process, Mo Cheng felt that his blood pressure was rising steadily.

"I want to ask, what happened to Sawyer in the end?"

Just when Mo Cheng was about to tear up the code pad on his hand, the bartender who was cleaning suddenly asked.

Mo Cheng had nothing to hide, "He is integrated with nature, without any pain."

The three arrows penetrated Sawyer's head, throat, and heart before he could react. After that, they were incinerated by Mo Cheng's [Fire Breath], thus avoiding the fate of being dug out by predators in the forest. .

After listening to Mo Cheng's words, the bartender lowered his head and left. Then he quickly brought a large glass of wine and placed it in front of Mo Cheng. "Sawyer left this glass here. I bought the wine as a thank you for your help." His. When you finish drinking, take the cup away and close the door for me."

The wine glass is a piece of oak dug into the shape of a cup. It is estimated that the capacity of the cup is more than one liter. What is different from other wine glasses is that there are flower buds and green buds growing on the outside of the wine glass, as if this piece of wood is not There is no loss of vitality.

The wine in the wine glass is the most common ale. The alcohol content is not high and the price is cheap. It is the best choice for people with little money to get drunk.

The ale that should have been yellow in the cup mixed with the green light from the cup, showing a strange dark green color.

It feels like the ink has settled and solidified, then been exposed to the sun to dry up, and then put into water again.

Mo Cheng can be sure that he will never drink this kind of thing. The appearance of this thing tells others that it is not something that can be put into the stomach.

But Mo Cheng seemed to realize something. He frowned and reached out to dip his hand into the wine glass, then smeared the slight ale into the blank space of the notebook.

Everything Sawyer wrote in his notebook, each word was consciously spaced, and there was a strange blank space in the middle of each line.

After the blank space was stained with ale that looked like a mutated substance, clear handwriting immediately appeared, "...This puzzle seems a bit simple..."

Being able to solve the puzzle as soon as he got it was undoubtedly a good thing for Mo Cheng, but he felt that it seemed too simple.

A very common thought is that when you see a difficult question, you think it is difficult, and when there is an answer next to it, you think it is too easy to get the answer.

But this is undoubtedly a good thing for Mo Cheng, because he knows himself too well. If he really has to run a few more tasks to decrypt it, it will undoubtedly be an extremely uncomfortable thing for him.

He carefully smeared all the blank spaces of the notebook with ale, and many densely packed small words appeared between the lines. After smearing all the blank spaces of the notebook with ale, the entire cup of ale was used up just right.

When there was not a drop of ale left in the wine glass and words appeared in all the blank spaces of the notebooks, several notebooks floated out of thin air, and the paper fell off to form a circle that kept spinning.

As a ray of light from the wine glass hit one of the papers, all the papers reacted like dominoes. Finally, the papers overlapped in front of Mo Cheng, and all the dense invisible fonts on them began to change, forming a map.

A clearly marked map.

"I take it back, this thing is definitely not simple."

Mo Cheng originally thought it was just a simple invisible ink trick, but when he saw the whole process, he realized that the clues and insurance measures left by Sawyer were not that simple.

Even if someone learned the secret code "Tree is falling" from him, they would only get a map disguised as an investigation note, and the blanks in the notebook would need to be smeared with the ale in Sawyer's glass.

At the same time, a very important point is that the ale in the wine glass must be just right, not more or less, otherwise other problems are likely to occur.

Obviously, only a bartender who has been with Sawyer for a long time can know how much ale should be in Sawyer's glass.

With such an interlocking arrangement, Mo Cheng didn't even doubt that one of them wasn't right, or that the bartender had doubts about them. The map in his hand would turn into a life-threatening trap.

only……

How did the bartender know that he was the person Sawyer asked for help?

After the bartender handed Mo Cheng the wine glass, he kept sitting far away. He even turned away to avoid watching the scene when he noticed some movement on Mo Cheng's side. When he turned around, he found Mo Cheng looking at him and shrugged, "Sawyer told me that one day someone told me that [the tree fell] without asking anything else, so he told me Hand over the glass."

"As for that glass of wine, it is a custom in my hometown that every wine glass must be filled with wine when it leaves me."

Mo Cheng's doubts were solved now. Sawyer obviously knew that the bartender had the customs of his hometown, and as the cup he often used, the bartender was obviously used to how much ale he poured into Sawyer's cup.

The bartender didn't know Sawyer's arrangement, but it didn't matter. Sawyer just knew the bartender's habits.

If you make even one wrong step here, the result may be a fatal trap.

Mo Cheng guessed that if there was an error, the most likely possibility was that the place shown on the map would be some kind of forbidden area for the elves.

For example, the ancient tree of life or something.

After getting the map, Mo Cheng and Margaret left the tavern. The location marked on the map was not too far away.

But similarly, not many people came close to that place specifically.

Because that place is the public cemetery of this town.

Crow Ridge is located in the southwest of the town. There are only two people taking care of it on weekdays, one is responsible for patrolling during the day and the other is responsible for the night.

Their main job is to prevent jackals and wild dogs from raiding graves and tomb robbers.
