C1944 The Residence of the Fourth Elder
In the iron box, a roll of parchment paper was neatly arranged inside, and the quality of the parchment seemed to be good, and the preliminary estimation was that it should be a good map.
He picked up one of the scrolls, and on it were three red words, Sky Fire City. Opening it, he saw that it was indeed a map of Sky Fire City. It was basically the same as the Sky Fire City map given to him by Jiong Yuan.
If Jiong Yuan hadn't given him the map of Sky Fire City, Ye Hong Tian would have bought it without hesitation, but he didn't need it now.
What he needed now was to know where he was. He needed to find a way to lure the fourth elder of the Skyfire Clan to the southern region of Sky Fire City. Only then would he be able to kill the fourth elder.
He rolled up the map of Sky Fire City and put it back in the iron box. Then, he picked up a map from the side. The back of the map didn't indicate where it was.
Because he didn't know where it was, Ye Hongtian opened it and took a look. The first thing he saw was the map's center, Jade City.
Looking up from this Jade City, he saw Sky Fire City, and then Ye Hong Tian confirmed that this was the map he needed right now.
Holding the map in his hand, he closed the iron box and put it back where it was. Ye Hong Tian brought the map to the counter.
The old man in front of the counter was currently wiping something. Seeing Ye Hong Tian come to him, he raised his head and looked at the map in Ye Hong Tian's hand. Then, he used his aged voice to say, "Ten low-grade crystals."
"Ah?" Ye Hong Tian was stunned when he heard this price. He did not expect that a high-quality map would only cost ten low-grade essence crystals.
"Old mister, did you remember wrongly? The value of this map is not just ten low-grade essence crystals. It is at least fifty low-grade essence crystals."
"If you don't want to buy it, then put it down." The old man said faintly.
"No, that's not what I meant. It's just..."
Ye Hong Tian wanted to let the old man know the price of the map, but then he thought about it. This shop was probably older than him. As the owner, how could the old man not know the price of the map?
He reached into the Cosmos Sack on his waist and touched it. Ye Hongtian awkwardly found that there was only a middle-grade one left in the Cosmos Sack. Origin Crystals and high-grade Origin Crystals It was over.
Going to the space within his body to take a look again, there were only high-grade essence crystals as well as some high-grade essence crystals. There were simply no low-grade essence crystals at all.
"Cough cough, old mister, I'm very sorry. I really don't have any low-grade essence crystals on me. I'll take a middle-grade essence crystal to buy this map." Ye Hong Tian took out a middle-grade essence crystal and said.
Because he was afraid that the old man wouldn't buy the map for him, Ye Hong Tian placed the middle-grade essence crystal on the counter and disappeared from the shop in a flash.
After Ye Hong Tian left, the old man reached out and picked up the middle-grade essence crystal on the counter. He sized it up and shook his head, "Young people nowadays!"
Ye Hong Tian, who left the Sundry Goods Store with the map, once again came to the tallest building in the city. This was the watchtower used for sentry duty.
Below Ye Hongtian, two soldiers who should have been on sentry duty were hiding in the watchtower and sleeping. They did not notice that there was a person standing on top of their heads.
Ye Hongtian squatted on the watchtower and looked down at the map in his hand. Then, he looked in the direction of Fire City.
According to the distance marked on the map, this place was twenty thousand miles away from Sky Fire City. This distance was not short. Without using a flying artifact, this distance was not short. ...... Ye Hongtian would need three to four days to reach Sky Fire City, and this was even if he didn't rest halfway.
Although he had long realized that this place was very far from Sky Fire City, he still didn't expect it to be so far away.
"Sigh, it seems like there is no hope of bringing Fourth Elder back to Sky Fire City." Ye Hongtian sighed.
Jumping down from the watchtower, he landed on the roof of a house and moved towards the center of the city. In a moment, Ye Hongtian saw a huge mansion.
This mansion was the biggest mansion in Jade City because Ye Hongtian's station was relatively high. He could vaguely see the inside of the mansion. When he saw the beautiful picture carved on the wall of the mansion... This was the residence of the fourth elder of the Skyfire Clan.
After infiltrating the mansion, Ye Hongtian searched for the residence of the fourth elder. As he searched, he discovered that many of the rooms were filled with jade carvings of beauties.
The reason why this city was called Jade City was because there was a mine near Jade City that was rich in jade stones. There were many types of jade stones in the mine, which was also the reason why the fourth elder of the Skyfire Clan chose this place.
"With so many jade stones, I reckon it can be sold for a lot of money. But these rooms seem to be the fourth elder's residence. Every room has traces of people living in them, some new and some old... Could it be!? "
Ye Hong Tian rested on the roof of a room. As he thought about the clues in the previous rooms, he suddenly thought of a possibility.2
The Fourth Elder liked things about beauties, so why didn't he create a treasure vault and hide his' treasures'? Why did he put them in every room?
There could only be one answer, and that was that Fourth Elder would change his room to sleep every night. It was like the sign of an ancient emperor flipping over a harem, which gave him a headache.
"This Fourth Elder's degree of deviousness is truly beyond my imagination. However, in such a large mansion, I only saw five male servants. Doesn't he like beauties?"
After thinking about one question, Ye Hong Tian thought of another question, and then came to the conclusion that Fourth Elder's ability might not be very good!
After resting for a while, Ye Hongtian stopped thinking about these messy things and continued to search for the Fourth Elder's traces in the mansion.
Finally, he found the Fourth Elder in a very remote and worn-out wooden house in the mansion.
When he found the Fourth Elder, he was fiddling with something in the wooden house. He kept making cracking sounds like the sound of an old wooden door being opened.
When Ye Hongtian wanted to get closer and observe, the Fourth Elder walked out of the wooden house with a satisfied look on his face.
Ye Hongtian hid behind the wooden house and waited for the Fourth Elder to leave. When he couldn't sense the Fourth Elder's aura, Ye Hongtian walked out of the wooden house and entered the wooden house that seemed out of place with the buildings in the mansion.
When he just entered the wooden house, Ye Hong Tian's first reaction was that it was clean and tidy. The wooden house looked very old and shabby, but there was not a bit of dust in it.
However, other than being especially fast, there was nothing special about the wooden house. There was a bed, a bedside table, and a wooden table. There was nothing else.
The simpler the arrangement was, the more Ye Hong Tian felt that there was something wrong with it. He remembered the creaking sound he heard outside the wooden house. Ye Hong Tian started to touch the furniture in the house.
