After successfully expelling the monster, Zhu Jue had no choice but to go to other places to adventure. At dusk today, he was going to the Skye River Stone Bridge outside Neil City. He couldn't go far for the remaining hours, so he simply continued to stay in the tower.

The Great Elder Atal opposed Zhu Jue's decision, but the latter ignored him at all and directly made him shut up willingly with a free and sumptuous lunch.

"Do you know where there are many babies?"

Holding a chicken leg in your hand, Zhu Jue’s question is quite straightforward.

"If I knew where there were treasures, and wasting my time sitting here?"

Atal chewed the steak in anger. His little finger, which was not covered with oil, clenched the back of his neck and said with a pout.

"You always know one or two places where there may be news about treasures. Don't tell me that I'm so old that I forget it all."

Zhu Jue raised his foot and pointed a brown cloth bag on the table not far away, and then said,

"Don't think I didn't see it. You just asked the mayor of Usa Town in my name for a lot of donations. If you force me to be too anxious and take them all away, you can sit on the top of the tower every day and drink the northwest wind!"

"Hey~ didn't you get a gem too... Although the quality is a bit bad, it's all gems. As someone who recommends you to help, what's wrong with charging some money."

Too lazy to argue with Atal, Zhu Jue got up and walked towards the wallet. After getting along for the past two days, he understood that it was useless to make the truth with this old man, and he had to use practical actions to make him understand his thoughts.

"It will take about a week to walk south along the Skye River to the ocean. The residents of Usa Town will hardly go to that place, but the merchants who take boats, or drive schooners in a schooner, push two-wheeled trucks all come from that direction."

Atal gave up his own money bag and then said,

"There is a huge port city over there, called Dilas. I have been to it before. The city has a bad reputation. I heard that there are often black three-layer multi-altitude sailboats full of gems to sail from the coast where they can't tell where they are. The merchants who come out of these sailboats to trade with jewelers are human, or basically human, but no one has ever seen the oarsmen who row these sailboats... It is a distribution center for news everywhere, but I have talked to some of them in the seafarers' tavern at the port. Some of them look a bit strange, often covered in faces, and don't look very friendly... I think it's not a problem for you, so it should meet your requirements."

"One week?"

Compared to the strange seafarer, Zhu Jue cared more about this time of traveling. He didn't think that Atal could make up a place to deceive himself. It was just that he only stayed for three days every time he came to this world, and it took a week to go. Including the return journey... In addition to wandering around Usa Town, where else could Zhu Jue go?

"I mean it will take a week to get to Dilas. Since you are going back, maybe your current residence will be closer to Dilas."

"Tsk, I have a question. You know the gentleman, that is, Nelson, how long does he stay in Neil and Uzza towns every time... I'll change the question, when was the last time he came to you?"

If gentlemen like them only stay in this world for three days, Zhu Jue is a little unbelievable.

He can only come here for three days a month, why does he get a title in Neil City?

"It was about two weeks ago."

"What I need to know is the exact time, two weeks and one day are two weeks ago, and three weeks are two weeks ago!"

Zhu Jue doesn’t like ambiguous and vague answers.

"Not three weeks, one or two days more than two weeks...what does that matter?"

Atal didn't understand why Zhu Jue was so sensitive to this time, but he still gave the answer after thinking about it.

"The next time the gentleman looks for you, I may not be in Usa Town. He will definitely avoid me. What are you going to do and escape?"

Without answering Atal's question positively, Zhu Jue directed the topic to another thing.

"He just wants the "Naket Codex", why should I run away?"

"Isn't it stolen?"

"You are the only one who knows about this, right?"

Atal was still eating meat chops in a steady manner, obviously not worried about the next crisis.

"You want to lie to him?"

Zhu Jue looked at Atal in surprise and continued,

"I have to remind you that a gentleman is not a fool, and in terms of combat power, he can easily kill you even if he tied his hands together."

"How can I say it is a fraud? This is based on self-defense behavior to protect my own life. I have never read "Naket's Copy", but isn't it just a book that is incomprehensible? I have a lot of ancient books. Sir Nelson may be a leverager in your place, but in a dream, facing me, the old guy...he is this!"

Atal's expression was so proud that he stretched out his little finger that was still holding his earwax.

Zhu Jue didn't say much about Atal's confidence that he didn't know what it came from. After all, his life and death had nothing to do with him. He set off again at noon and returned to Neil City.

......

The three-day journey ends with the confluence on the Skye River.

No one had any accidents. Except for the ugly expressions of AK and Rhino, the other three people had no changes.

The gentleman's eyes stopped on Zhu Jue for a moment, because he noticed that the latter kept winking at him, as if there was something to say.

"Mr. Rhino, if I remember well, this is your third trip. I hope you can succeed before your next trip, or you will have to pay some liquidated damages."

He did not go directly to talk to Zhujue. The gentleman first turned to the rhino and said in a deep voice. The latter nodded with a bitter smile, bowed to him somewhat flatteringly and said that he knew and immediately gave the things to him after he went back.

According to the contract they signed, the three trips must be made in the awakening of mental power, otherwise you have to pay something as a penalty for liquidated damages to continue your journey.

This is undoubtedly a disguised exploitation.

However, rhino, who has already realized the special nature of the fantasy dream world, has no idea of ​​giving up. In his opinion, as long as he can awaken his soul, let alone pay for the liquidated damages, or let him pay for it to participate by himself.

Perhaps he will only realize that this is not a good thing when his mental power truly breaks through.

Zhu Jue, who knew the truth of some of the things, lingered between the gentleman and the black swan, and estimated the combat power these two could exert.

Kill the two of them directly?

This is undoubtedly the stupidest decision. Perhaps Zhujue didn't take too much time to do this, but he was refreshed, and the subsequent troubles were enough to make him suffer for a long time.

This is not a game. If you kill someone, you won’t explode props and treasure chests and keys, and no one can guarantee whether the gentleman will have a backup plan except for the Black Swan.

If this guy has a real team hiding in the dark, Zhu Jue jumped out like a naughty person at this time, which was equivalent to giving up his advantage in the dark.

Not to mention that he hasn't even figured out where the space door is and how to enter the underground space where it is located.

There are too many uncertain factors, so Zhu Jue must find a way to figure out the most critical points before he can start to consider clearing these two people.

Fortunately, he is still in good time now, and the gentleman is in the light and he is in the dark, and his advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance.

"You guys go back with the Black Swan first. I have something to talk about with Mr. Fengling."

He sent the other three people away, and there were only two left on the stone bridge, and the gentleman continued,

"What's wrong with you?"

Compared to the attitude he had just come in three days ago, the tone of the gentleman and Zhu Jue when they were talking was alienated.

However, it is precisely this attitude that Zhu Jue knew that the gentleman did not decide to attack him because of the previous conflict in Usa Town, otherwise he should have a smile on his face now, and there would be no difference from before.

"I got a treasure that I couldn't use. I know you have a lot of resources, so I want to exchange it with you."

Originally, Zhu Jue planned to use apology as an excuse, but after thinking on the way back, he decided to continue to maintain his previous attitude. Deliberate pleading would only arouse suspicion.

"Oh? Is it convenient to take it out and take a look?"

As expected, the gentleman was quite interested in treasures in the dreamland.

So Zhu Jue looked around mysteriously, then carefully took out the gem he had obtained from the garrison captain.

Of course, this is a "improved" gem.

There was nothing inside the translucent outer gem, but at this moment a ball of sand was constantly rolling and flowing!

The crimson sunset light at dusk shines on it, which is mysterious and strange.

The gentleman's eyes almost immediately locked in the gem, and his hands that were hanging on his side were also subconsciously clasped.

This scene was seen by Zhu Jue next to him, and the corner of his mouth was accidentally turned up. It was obvious that the gentleman was very interested in this gem containing a ball of life-like gravel.

"I have to say that, I have to thank you. Last time you stopped me and didn't kill that old man, but later I deliberately brought a bunch of things to apologize. Hey, that old man is a greedy guy. Then he asked me to help the garrison in Wusa Town solve the monsters that appeared in the town. After the matter was done, I got this gem from the garrison's warehouse. They didn't know that it was broken and worthless, so they used it to dispose of me, but I didn't know that this was a treasure!"

The matter in Usa Town cannot be hidden, so Zhu Jue discussed this matter with Atal before coming and unified the argument.

"What do you want to change?"

At this time, the gentleman was too lazy to pretend to be with Zhu Jue. He had been in this world for more than five years. He believed that he had handled many treasures, but had never seen such a magical gem.

Of course he has never seen it.
