The Ashes Forest was very big. Sui Xiong and Gerald walked for several days before they saw the edge of the forest.

It was a barren mountain called "Barrellis Mountains". It is located on the northwest side of the main continent of the world, adjacent to the ashes forest and the Meteorite Desert on the other side, like an extremely high and thick wall, separating the two sides. At both ends of the mountain range, it is connected to the Northland Snow Field and the West Sea respectively.

This mountain range is steep and has few rains, so there are very few plants and trees. The poor mountains and rivers have nurtured all kinds of vicious monsters. Only adventurers who can enter and exit here are more fierce than monsters.

Perhaps because of the endless road, there are several gaps in this towering and steep mountain range. Although the road is rugged and difficult to walk, it is finally not completely isolated from both sides. On the west side of these mountain roads, several small towns adjacent to the Ashes Forest are the northwest pole of the mainland civilized world.

There are many rare products here, which are not large in number, but are very precious, so there are always some adventurers who think they are very skilled to come here to try their luck. Most of them never leave alive again, but as long as they can leave alive, they often have enviable gains, and there are also many who get rich overnight.

With adventurers who make money, of course there are merchants who want to make their money into their pockets, and then there are various related industries. So although these towns are not big, they can be called sparrows, even with small organs, and even many luxurious things can be seen here. And because they are high and far away, they are located in places where various countries are far away, the rule of law here is quite chaotic, and many people who have committed crimes and are wanted will flee here, making this place even more chaotic and gradually becoming a place of filth.

In such places, the church of the good God can only be barely maintained, but the church of the evil God is like a fish in water. It even has the strength to collect refugees from all over the mainland, organize them to explore the forest of ashes, and establish a solid rear for their own church.

For example, Baiyezi Village is one of the strongholds under the construction of the church under the Dark Night God. If this is not the case, how could farmers not believe in the Goddess of the Earth that blesses the harvest or the Goddess of Life that blesses health, but instead believe in this gatekeeper of the Kingdom of Dark Night God, which has nothing to do with agriculture?

"So that's the case..." After listening to Gerald's introduction, Sui Xiong was thinking, "Then isn't it very inappropriate for us to go to these towns?"

"You can't say that. These towns are like wooden cages. No matter whether they are cats or dogs, they can only be honest when they enter, but your majesty, you are a dragon! You just have to step on them with just a few cages that are closed to cats and dogs!" Gerald said with a smile, "And, based on your personality and position, you are going to have conflicts with those churches of evil gods. In these places, you can also bring the church of good gods or even the church of neutral gods to help, killing two birds with one stone!"

He made a lot of sense, and Sui Xiong nodded repeatedly, like a hill's body shaking, bringing out a cool breeze.

"However, your Majesty, your body is too large and powerful. If you enter the town directly, it will cause some trouble. Why don't you find a place outside to rest and let me explore the way first." As a loyal believer, Gerald actively wants to do something for the gods he believes in.

Seeing that he was so active, Sui Xiong was not easy to refuse. However, he was really worried about Gerald. He always felt that this bald head - oh, he is not bald now, his hair is very dense - he is weak, and if he acts alone, he might die on the roadside inexplicably tomorrow. As a friend who is loyal to him and a good person, he thinks it is necessary to add another layer of insurance to Gerald.

After thinking carefully, he took out a piece of bone piece of giant whale, used powerful magic power to compress the bone piece of one foot long and half a foot wide into a finger as wide as a bracelet, and then engraved several layers of magic circles in it, and finally divided a small amount of soul power to stay in it, completing something that could probably be considered a magic item.

"Bring this with me, as if I'm following you. When the situation is urgent, I will take action myself."

Gerald knelt down and respectfully accepted Sui Xiong's gift. The small bone bracelet was cold and worn on his wrist. He only felt clear-headed and clear-minded. Even his vision and hearing were much more sensitive. He could feel that Sui Xiong's strong will was with him, making him feel more at ease.

"Your Majesty, what is the name of this treasure?" he asked.

Sui Xiong thought for a while and said, "It's called 'Void Gaze'. After all, its most fundamental purpose is equivalent to the expansion of my vision."

Gerald nodded, bowed again, then sorted out the tattered homemade robe on his body, carried the package and headed for the town far away.

Sui Xiong watched him go away, found a relatively flat ground, waved his tentacles, and quickly dug a huge pit and lay in. When his whole body got into the pit, he used magic to strengthen the surrounding soil and transported the soil he had dug back, turning it into a solid soil layer at least two meters thick above his head.

The body of the giant jellyfish is indeed not very useful on land, so let’s take advantage of this time to transform the body.

On the other side, Gerald wore a bone bracelet and "gaze at the void" and came to the small town called "pyroxene".

Bypassing the merchant groups that camped in the open space outside the town to pay less taxes, he walked to the front of the busy town gate.

There were several soldiers in leather armor at the door who were responsible for guarding and collecting taxes for entry. They looked at Gerald, who was almost as tall as the wall, and hesitated for a while, but in the end they did not dare to collect taxes for the giant. They only told him not to cause trouble in the town, so they let him in.

"This treatment is much better than when I passed by here." Gerald couldn't help laughing, "I remember when I passed by here when I was running away, I was injured and sick again. I was troubled for a long time and paid an extra amount of money before I could come in."

"Oh? Then do you want to take revenge and get angry or something?" Through the bone bracelet, Sui Xiong could sense the situation around Gerald, and communicate with him with his mind. He asked with a smile when he heard the words.

Gerald shook his head: "In the past, I often thought that I would like to be good when I became prosperous in the future, but now I feel that it is unnecessary. They are just a group of small people, doing dangerous jobs and not having a high income. They are nothing more than trying to make some extra money to support their family, and it is not worth getting angry with them."

"Your level is high."

"I have the power I dare not imagine in the past, and I have even been blessed by the great gods. Why bother with a group of little people who are seeking life?" Gerald scratched his head again and smiled honestly.

Neither Sui Xiong noticed that a middle-aged man passing by him, his eyes slightly condensed when he saw the bone bracelet on his hand and his pupils narrowed slightly.

He passed by Gerald as if nothing had happened until Gerald turned a corner and disappeared, then he hurriedly turned around and rushed to the door of an inconspicuous small courtyard, knocking on the door.

"Who?" A pre-digged hole was opened on the door. The janitor took a look and hurriedly opened the door. "Vice President? Haven't you gone to Taojin Town to do business?"

"There are more important things." The middle-aged man said briefly, "Call the most powerful thieves in the town, and call the brothers "Quick Knife" too - no, don't call them, just find the thieves."

The big guy who was guarding the door was stunned for a moment. Seeing that he looked solemn and did not dare to ask, he quickly responded and hurried to pass the order.

The middle-aged man closed the door and went straight to the inner room. After walking around twice, he walked into an inconspicuous small house.

The room was quite simple and looked ordinary, but he knew that there were at least twenty dangerous mechanisms hidden here, and even if a team of adventurers came, he would not be able to attack.

An old man who looked very ordinary, like a roadside vendor was sitting on the bed reading a book. When he saw him hurrying in, he frowned and asked, "Gray Eyes, you should go to Jinjin Town and join hands there to prepare for the underground auction next month."

The old man's tone was not strong, but the middle-aged man was shocked and sweated on his forehead. He hurriedly defended: "President, I saw a treasure on the road! A big deal!"

"Oh?" The old man's eyes lit up and he put down the book. He knew very well about his skills. Although he was not good at stealing or assassination, he was timid and cautious, not fierce and decisive enough, and was somewhat ashamed of the title of "Thieves Guild", but this man had extraordinary eyesight and never missed his hand in identifying various treasures. Instead, he often picked up some good things from the rags cleared by the down-and-out adventurers. He deserved to be a person with the nickname "eyes".

What can make him so excited must be a real good thing!

"Sit down and say slowly."

"Yes!" Gray eyes sat down, took a breath, described Gerald's appearance in detail, and emphasized his bone bracelet.

"President, I guarantee that my eyes are definitely not an ordinary treasure!" His tone couldn't help but get excited again, "At least it is a high-level magic item... I suspect it may be a legendary treasure!"

"Legendary Treasure?" Even the president of the Thieves Guild couldn't calm down, stood up and asked, "Are you sure? What type is it?"

"I am sure that the type is not certain for the time being. But I can vaguely feel that the bracelet contains powerful thoughts, which are probably the holy objects sacrificed by the giant tribe throughout the ages."

The president nodded repeatedly. The giants were originally a very powerful race, and the holy objects that they had sacrificed and prayed for generations, and were probably legendary treasures.

When he thought of the word "Legendary Treasure", his mood suddenly became hot.

Although this world is big, legendary treasures are not common. Almost every legendary treasure has an impressive history behind it. They are mostly in the hands of those big forces, such as high aristocrats, famous mages, or leaders of large organizations... For example, their superiors, the big man who presided over the entire Ashes Forest Thieves Guild affairs, is said to have such a thing in his hand.

That treasure was the trump card for the big man to save his life. He made him turn danger into a bargain and defeat into victory more than once. If he could get such a treasure, he would...
