Chapter 577: Chapter 414: The Chaotic Map_1
Without further ado, what Leo Ray was thinking about was naturally the mysterious treasure map that Xenia Blackwood had presented previously in the treasure vault of Maron City.
“I remember that strange and bizarre treasure map hidden in a secret layer of an old redwood cabinet, which was extremely well concealed. The mountains and forests on it were not only upright, but also upside down and tilted, truly chaotic and disorderly.”
“In my free time, I also took it out to study it with Gideon Black and others a few times, but we never got any clues. However, the large red cross at a prominent position on the map indicates that it does indeed look like a treasure map.”
At this thought, Leo Ray raised his hand to motion for his subordinates to pause temporarily, while continuing to ponder: “That mysterious treasure map is now with me. Could it be that the map described by that mercenary just now is this one?”
At this moment, Leo Ray’s gaze shifted and finally settled on the mercenaries who were discussing the matter at the table.
On the other side, there were eight mercenaries seated at a large square table filled with food and drinks, feasting away.
“Is there really such a magical item?”
The slightly sharp voice rang out again, as a middle-aged man dressed as a Ranger in shabby leather armor, put down the half-eaten Frost Lamb Leg in his hand and picked up his cup of wine nearby.
A dubious expression on his face, he said, “Old Black, are you making up another story? You once claimed to have subdued a Greenstone Python with your bare hands, but last month on the escort mission, you were wrapped up in the sky by a young one!”
“Hahaha, I remember now! This coward pissed his pants in mid-air back then, almost extinguishing the fireball on my Magic Wand!”
A middle-aged Mage in dirty magic robes sitting nearby put down his beer mug, held his belly, and laughed, “In my opinion, although this fellow’s swordsmanship is mediocre, he’d make a great Wandering Poet who tells stories every day!”
“Buddies, can you not expose my weaknesses all the time?”
Hearing this, a disheveled swordsman in tattered light armor scratched his head awkwardly, revealing an embarrassed smile.
From the sound of his voice, he was the mercenary who had initially mentioned the “Map of Chaos.”
Finished speaking, he picked up his wine cup, chugged a large mouthful, and then said, “Forget it, if you guys don’t want to listen, I’m not going to tell the story.”
However, just at this moment-
Suddenly, several large piles of gleaming gold coins clattered onto the table.
A gentle-faced young man, surrounded by a few attendants, appeared in front of the mercenaries.
The newcomer was none other than Leo Ray.
On the other hand, seeing the golden glow, the mercenaries were all stunned and then they looked up at Leo Ray, swallowing their saliva involuntarily.
After all, for these people, the pile of Gold Dragons in front of them was anything but a small sum.
At the same time, Leo Ray’s extravagant move caused other mercenaries at nearby tables to cast sidelong glances, showing expressions of astonishment and admiration.
Not far away, several young Female Servants carrying trays collided with one another just to catch a glimpse of Leo Ray.
Without a doubt, someone who could afford such a generous gesture was likely a noble class that the ordinary Civilians would never reach in their lifetime!
For a moment, Leo Ray and his entourage instantly became the absolute focus of attention.
“Your Excellency, what is this…?”
Immediately after, the disheveled swordsman stood up and cautiously asked.
At this time, although Leo Ray and his entourage did not reveal any strong aura or wear anything other than ordinary clothes after their transformation, the mercenaries who had licked blood from their knives every day could clearly feel-
The young man in front of them was definitely not an ordinary person.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that I heard Your Excellency mention the ‘Map of Chaos’ just now, and it caught my curiosity.”
With a faint smile, Leo Ray pushed the large stacks of gold coins on the table casually forward, and said to the disheveled swordsman: “As long as you tell me about the ‘Map of Chaos’, these Gold Dragons are yours.”
“Your Excellency, please sit down! I’ll tell you everything I know!”
On the other side, the disheveled swordsman’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly motioned for the other mercenaries to move closer to himself, making a whole side of space for Leo Ray.
“Then let’s begin.”
Sitting down unceremoniously in front of the disordered swordsman, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
“I won’t hide it from Your Excellency, I heard about the Map of Chaos from an old Wandering Poet during a mission not long ago.”
Nodding to Leo Ray, the disheveled mercenary returned to his seat, glanced at the gold coins on the table, and respectfully said, “I heard that the Map of Chaos is also known as the Magical Puzzle, an ancient foreign race technology, whose origins can no longer be traced.”
Although it is a whole piece of paper, it has been divided into several small parts. In order to restore its original appearance from the chaotic paper surface, one must find the key set up in advance for unlocking the Magical Puzzle.”
“A preset ‘key’?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and asked, “How can I find the ‘key’?”
