Chapter 378 The Secret of Eternal Life

Dawn really couldn't understand why a thief would steal the pot.

But if you think about it carefully, the female thief who washed her hands in a golden basin in her house also stole a large bag of kitchen utensils when she first met.

But what she stole was silver tableware...

"Grandma, can you tell us what's going on?" Vivian asked carefully.

The old woman who was originally looking angry turned her head and looked at the face of Miss Goblin, her expression softened a little.

"It's like this." She said, "Some time ago, probably after the autumn harvest, before the snow fell, a man from a foreign country came to our village. He looks like a thief, and he is not a good person at first glance."

Don: ...

Old lady, judging someone by their appearance is not advisable...

Donne complained so much in his heart, but he didn't say anything, allowing the other party to continue talking.

"After the man came to the village, he lived here for several days and kept asking us about the Qima Snow Mountain." The old woman recalled briefly.

When Dawn and Vivian heard this, they looked at each other calmly.

Qima Snow Mountain is the destination of Dawn and Vivian's trip.

After 10 days, [Concerto Forest] will open somewhere in this snow mountain.

"A man from a foreign country, inquiring about Qima Snow Mountain...is he also here for the relic of God?"

Don kept his eyes open in silence.

However, according to the information given by the system, [Concerto Forest] was opened in winter, and the man had already arrived in Laika Village during the autumn harvest.

It's really early enough.

The old woman continued: "When the snow fell in winter, the winter hunters in the village came back and said that they saw that man sneaking up to Qima Snow Mountain."

"Then until last night, I was sleeping at home when I was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. I sat up from the bed, and by the moonlight outside, I saw that foreign man who had climbed the snow-capped mountain standing in my room!"

"He opened the pot where I kept my black bread, and ruined at least two of my loaves. Also, when he saw me awake, he picked up my pot and ran out of the house in a panic."

"Uh... it sounds a little weird." After listening to the old woman's narration, Dawn still felt confused. "Then, old woman, why are you so sure that the foreign man is hiding in this room?"

Old woman: "This house belongs to the old bachelor Hudson. The old bachelor got sick and died in the summer, and the house has been empty since then. When the man from out of town came to our village, he would occasionally come in and out of this unoccupied place. house."

"This morning, the house was suddenly locked again from the inside. The thief must be hiding in there! It's fine if he ate my bread, and he also stole the pot that has been with me for more than ten years. I must have it today, old lady. Ask this nasty thief for an explanation!"

What the old woman said was well-founded and convincing.

After finishing speaking, she was ready to continue to take pictures of the locked wooden door.

At this time, Miss Goblin, who was holding the ebony staff, leaned forward again, and said in her harmless tone:

"So, old woman. This house has no owner, so even if the door is broken, it doesn't matter, does it?"

"That's right." The old woman nodded, then looked at Don, and stood slightly aside, "Young man, why don't you help me break the door open?"

"actually……"

Dawn didn't care if he wanted to help break the door.

But in fact, when the old woman turned her head to ask him, it was already too late.

Because Dorn clearly saw that Vivienne, who was standing in front of the door, was waving her staff.

boom--

The thick staff drew an afterimage in the air, and violently collided with the door panel!

The two fragile wooden doors flew towards the inside of the house in response, and slammed heavily on the wall, shaking off flying dust and snow slag.

"Hey." Vivienne put away her staff, "Okay, the door is open."

The old woman would be shocked and dumbfounded.

How could this pretty, weak little girl have such strength?

After the door of the wooden house opened, Don shrugged, and then stepped in at the same time as Vivienne.

The old woman stood resentfully at the door without moving: "Help me see if the thief is still inside, and if my pot is inside..."

Obviously Miss Goblin's chic way of breaking through the door gave her a great sense of shock.

To this, Don just responded casually.

To be honest, he was quite interested in the thief who came back to steal pot after he climbed Qima Snow Mountain.

Maybe the other party knows some information about [Concerto Forest]?

The old bachelor Hudson's house is not big, and there is not much furniture in the house.

It can be called unobstructed.

In this room, Don and Vivienne quickly found it, and it was suspected that it was the "man from a foreign land" that the old woman called.

The reason why it is said to be suspicious.

It was because at this moment, the other party only had the outline of a human figure left.

In the corner of the room, a human-shaped stone statue can be seen, or in other words, a person wrapped in earthy yellow rocks.

"Before he was surrounded by rocks, he should have been alive...There are many traces of struggle on the wall and on the ground." Vivian held the ebony staff in both hands, saying this.

"Yeah." Don nodded.

The two rummaged through the hut casually.

Don found a blank sheet of poor quality paper with some scribbled writing on it.

The writing ink is a strange color.

Vivian found a frying pan, but the pan was generally clean, so clean that it could reflect a blurred human face.

And the pot that the old woman said she lost was a scapegoat that had been with her for more than ten years.

"The purpose of this man taking this pot last night is to use the soot at the bottom of the pot to make something like ink for writing?"

After comparing the two things they found, Dawn and Vivian quickly understood what was going on.

Out of curiosity, they began to carefully read the handwriting on the rough white paper.

The above sentence is intermittent and not coherent, roughly written as——

[I don't seem to live long, the rocks covered my left hand, damn it... Earl Wenfeng's mausoleum... the secret of eternal life... the rock guards... don't go! ]

"The earl's mausoleum, the secret of eternal life?" Don frowned, repeating the key words on the paper.

Seeing these words, Donne had a bit of aftertaste.

The man who died tragically in front of him also entered Laika Village and explored Qima Snow Mountain.

But his purpose seems to be different from his own.

Perhaps this man's original intention was not for the relic of God.

As for why he tried so hard to leave some handwriting last night, maybe it was because he didn't want the secret he had mastered to die with him.

It may also be near the village of Laika, and this man's companion, the one on the paper [Don't go! ], which is a warning to your companions.

"Did he do this because he went to Earl Winfon's tomb?" Don said softly, "So, this man may be a tomb robber, or he may be an adventurer."
