Damn it, if it were unclaimed, Elsa could have simply turned around and left.
But then she thought that this might be something Rand had deliberately placed there to tempt her.
All I can say is that when a kleptomaniac strikes, he simply can't resist.
……
At this moment, Rand was interrogating Lysa, pressing a whip against her neck: "Tell me, what exactly did you put in the treasure chest?"
Lysa was tied to the wooden cross she was familiar with. Because she was often tied to it, the splinters on the wood had been worn away and it had become somewhat smooth.
Seeing that Lysa did not answer, Rand lashed her with his whip.
Lysa let out a soft moan in her clear voice, but did not respond.
It must be said that Lysa is quite beautiful, and being tied to the cross with ropes only accentuates her curvaceous figure.
In addition, there were blindfolded eyes and lightly bitten lips.
It was quite tempting, but Rand wasn't really interested in it right now.
But another whip lashed out at Lysa.
Lysa spoke again, but still did not respond.
Her skin, which looked delicate and flawless, would only leave a red mark if Rand lashed it hard with his whip.
“If you don’t tell me, I won’t put you down today!” Rand threatened.
The threat was meaningless. Lysa, like an indomitable warrior, gave Rand a disdainful smirk: "I can keep the secret, no matter what kind of interrogation I face."
Rand rolled his eyes. Of course you can keep a secret. What's the difference between torture and a reward to you?
However, since Ryza helped again this time, she had no choice but to continue rewarding her.
Rand needed something that seemed very valuable as a gimmick to get Elsa to find it, and he originally wanted to borrow it from Ellie and Olena.
Unfortunately, Ellie and Olena only had things that were truly valuable, but not things that seemed valuable.
In the end, it was Lysa who helped, tossing over a small box without revealing its contents, saying that Rand would have to interrogate her before she could tell him.
Thus, the current scene unfolded. Although he trusted that Ryza wouldn't cause any trouble, and that he would know what it was when Elsa came out, he still really wanted to know what was inside.
And since Ryza put in the effort, she should be rewarded.
Lysa suddenly broke free of the ropes binding her, returning to normal. She asked in confusion, "Is something on your mind? You seem quite uninterested."
Lysa was quite familiar with Rand. In the past, when she invited him to do this kind of thing, although he would refuse on the surface, he would still be very excited when it actually started.
But today it's different. Even if you really want to know the secret you're talking about, it's like completing a task. You just mechanically crack the whip, without the creativity and soul of before.
Rand wasn't surprised to be seen through; the two were quite familiar with each other, to the point that he knew exactly where to hit Ryza the moment she spoke.
“Yes, I’m very worried right now. A local conflict officially broke out in the Frostmoon Kingdom today, and I estimate that the war is about to escalate.” Rand found a chair and sat down, saying.
Now, when he sits down, he always makes sure there's a chair behind him. Before, sitting on Lysa's lap really made his toes so embarrassed they could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of them.
Lysa had no objection to the reward ending there; she was still here, naturally not because of the simple reward.
This strange reward is just a diversion for now, and she trusts Rand's nature; he'll come up with interesting new ideas sooner or later, so she's not in a hurry at all.
She sat on another chair in the sacrificial chamber. Actually, she wanted to sit on the altar, which was the perfect height, but Rand never let anyone stay there.
Rand said it was dangerous there. Did he stay there all this time just to suppress something?
Lysa wasn't interested in that. She simply crossed one leg over the other and said, "Are you worried about Tanl and the others?"
Rand nodded. After all, they were all people who came from his ranks, and he wasn't some heartless general.
Tanl and his men will inevitably be drawn into this battle, and casualties are inevitable.
Lysa had no intention of comforting Rand; casualties were inevitable, and Rand must have known that.
Similarly, Lysa believed that Rand could truly make the sacrifices worthwhile.
To change the subject, Lysa blinked and said, "Mr. Pervert, your interrogation has been successful. Now it's time to reveal the answer."
On the other side, Elsa poked the fallen mechanical guard with her small dagger. She always felt that this guard should have been stronger, but it seemed clumsy when facing her.
After confirming that the guards were no longer able to move, Elsa took out a long stick made of some unknown material that she had taken from the roadside and poked at the exquisite-looking wooden treasure chest.
There was no movement.
At least we can confirm that it's not a mimicry monster or anything like that.
Without further delay, Elsa walked up to the small treasure chest, which was unlocked.
This relieved her. Besides her thieving skills, her second worst skill was lock picking. Now it seemed she didn't need to rely on her all-around skillful hands to gamble on probability.
Gently push open the treasure chest, and the surrounding area is instantly filled with overflowing golden light.
A pure golden seed shone brightly in the dimly lit marble room.
Even without getting close, you can feel the vitality hidden within this seed, as if all the life in the world is gathered within it.
Elsa slammed the small treasure chest shut, covering the dazzling golden light. She then looked around warily to make sure no one was watching before putting the chest in her backpack.
This thing must not be shown off. If other adventurers see it, whose moral standards vary greatly, the probability of them trying to steal it is quite high.
Elsa walked carefully back to the Adventurers' Resort. She knew very well that since Rand had deliberately placed the map there, and Rand had also deliberately placed the treasure chest there, something was bound to happen here next.
Surely it can't all be a coincidence?
At this time, the resort was bustling with people, and it was even rumored that people from the Adventurers' Guild had come to inspect the place, wanting to establish a branch there.
Some adventurers have already set off to explore the ruins.
Many others are still preparing or observing.
Elsa did not attempt to escape directly via the mountain path. Although she had a severe kleptomania, she was not mentally unstable. If she tried to escape directly, the elf of unknown strength and the swordsman who was clearly of the highest rank would definitely appear in front of her somewhere.
Chapter 58 Elsa has her eye on you!
As Elsa walked through the crowd, people would greet her from time to time.
As the first adventurer to arrive here, she was the one who, under Rand's coercion, introduced many things about this place to later adventurers.
Therefore, many people here know her, which has made Elsa quite popular.
Even with a mask on, she is easily recognized by people who know her well, even though she tries to keep a low profile.
"Hey, isn't this little Elsa?" Sure enough, an adventurer uncle soon greeted her.
Elsa narrowed her eyes, thinking that recognizing her at this time was just asking for trouble.
Just wait, I'll steal your things when I get the chance!
Although she was reluctant, she could only laugh and say hello, then indicated that she had something to do and needed to leave.
The adventurer uncle didn't care about Elsa's furtive behavior; this quirky girl always had a strange way of doing things.
She was a very nice person, and initially served as an adventurer's guide for a period of time.
Now, she may have gotten something from the ruins. She's a young girl, she knows what that means, she treasures everything.
He was just as energetic when he was young, hoarding everything he discovered as treasures, only to find in the end that it was nothing but rubbish.
But being young is a good thing.
Elsa had no idea what the adventurer was thinking. After avoiding him and dealing with a few other adventurers who recognized her, she hurriedly headed towards her rented cabin.
Suddenly becoming alert, he slammed his backpack to the ground.
The backpack bulged and then broke.
It wasn't an explosion, but rather the emergence of something new. The golden buds, seemingly delicate, could easily break through the wooden treasure chest. The roots extended, pushing aside the neatly arranged brick road, and then penetrating deep into the soil beneath.
The trunk grows and extends upwards, leading to golden branches and a canopy.
Soon, a small, golden, and somewhat translucent tree grew in the middle of the road.
A golden tree seedling.
Elves are not very popular in the human world, but their treasures are very popular. However, among the adventurers present, not many could recognize this item, or perhaps none could at all.
The current hideout has a two-story structure. The edge of the upper hideout overlooks the adventurer's resort on the lower level, and almost everything can be seen at a glance.
At this moment, Rand stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the resort below.
"It really is a golden tree seed." Although Rand had never played the game "Deep Moon" himself, he still knew about this super famous thing.
The golden tree seed is the most precious treasure of the elves. The giant golden world tree inhabiting the elves is a golden tree, which has kept the elves invincible.
During the years of conflict between elves and humans, even when humans had the upper hand, they were unable to invade the elven homeland because of the influence of the Golden Tree.
Of course, there are also reasons why humans are unwilling to pay such a high price.
The seeds of the Golden Tree, if you simply crush them, their life force can revive any living being whose heart hasn't stopped beating and whose brain hasn't been lost, no matter how severe the injury.
But the idea that a seed of a small golden tree could actually be grown is unheard of.
“No way, it’s just an empty shell.” Lysa, who was also looking down the mountain, said beside Rand.
Rand was unaware of the difference, and simply frowned, saying, "This doesn't seem to fit the requirement of something that appears to be of great value."
Lysa blinked: "It seems so. If you're angry, you can punish me, right?"
Rand spat in annoyance. Was this a reward or a punishment? What a cunning and twisted freak.
The adventurers at the resort had already realized that the golden sapling had been found in that ruin.
Elsa was one of the first adventurers to arrive here, and I had heard rumors in the tavern that she had gone down to explore the ruins.
Today I saw her sneaking back again, and then this obviously extraordinary golden tree grew in this land.
It is obvious that this is a treasure found in the ruins.
The adventurers' inner thirst for treasure is gradually being awakened.
Just as they were about to question the thief who had taken the treasure but lacked the luck to keep it for herself, they discovered that the thief who had dropped it into her backpack had vanished without a trace.
Elsa understands everything!
It was indeed a conspiracy. Although she had guessed it long ago, she was still very excited when she saw that there was actually treasure.
Unfortunately, reality is reality, and conspiracy is conspiracy. Poor Elsa is still helplessly controlled by the evil Rand.
