Holding the golden bat he just caught from the sky, Arthur is hiding in a dark corner, trying to decipher the information on it.
Embedded in the bat’s belly is a small oval lead disk on which Alicia left a coded message. Not only that, but there is another neat handwriting on the other side of the lead plate, which seems to be the flight path inscribed by the bat after entering R’lyeh.
According to the information on the lead plate, Arthur not only knew the opening time of Alicia’s door, but also the direction of the entrance.
So next… After putting away the bat, Arthur chose a more open place. He closed his eyes, and his soul seemed to transform into an illusory falcon, galloping towards the direction the bat came from.
He first saw the edge of the great city of R’lyeh, and saw a steaming river of green clouds surrounding the entire city. Then, he flew across a native fungal forest, and then the tundra that hides countless dangers, scattered with all kinds of strange things…
Finally, he saw a deserted city similar to the great city of R’lyeh.
There is a noisy energy in the deserted city, so strong that “Falcon” cannot fly in. Before his vision disappeared, Arthur saw a sinister waxy yellow glowing in the deserted city…
Very ominous color and smell. A threat no less than the heir of the evil **** took root there.
But Arthur knew little about the crisis entrenched ahead.
Finally, he began to face up to the choice that seemed a little unwise before—take back Clark Stella’s notebook.
“Not only to fulfill Stella’s long-cherished wish, after getting that notebook, I can also grasp the situation in that tundra and that deserted city. In this way, this escape journey will be much safer…”
It seems that fate has shaped this path.
Arthur Merlin didn’t hesitate any longer, he started to recall, planning to find the legendary notebook.
In order to get back the notebook, there are four expeditions organized by the Quest Officials. Of the four expeditions, only two returned successfully. Although they all returned in vain, the two returning expeditions brought back valuable information.
Their failed attempts are like stepping on the goal one by one. It is precisely because of the information collected before that Arthur Merlin now has the conditions to complete this task.
With his eyes closed, he carefully recalled the information brought back by the expedition team.
“The river around R’lyeh is full of green silt and foul-smelling humus. This green river was called the ‘River of the City’ by the pioneers.
“In the middle of the marsh river to the west, there stands a big bare tree, out of some evil intention, there are many corpses hanging on the tree, many of them are explorers…
“Clark Stella’s body was in there. The long hairs on Enkidu’s mask were drooping with moisture and mold was growing on them…
“The worn-out cowhide backpack is still slung across his body. Through perception means, the notebook with inestimable value is still in that bag.
“The expedition team tried to get close to the tree and untie the hung body, but something mixed with river water and silt suddenly gushed out of the originally calm swamp river…
“That thing is terrifying! It rages at anyone who dares to approach the tree. After losing two explorers, the expedition team had to choose to retreat…”
Arthur opened his eyes. That’s all he has – Clark Stella’s body and notebook hang from a tree in the river to the west, and something in the swamp around the city seems to be guarding its “trophy”…
The swampy river around the city…things mixed with river water and silt…attacking people…
Arthur thought about everything.
“The marsh river surrounds the entire R’lyeh, and the evil hidden in it will be activated by the invasion and escape… That guy is very strong, and should be the outer guard of R’lyeh.
“Although I don’t know its name, it should be at the level of the son of the evil god.
“Conflict directly with the marsh river guard, even if you can defeat it, the movement and energy that spread out will probably attract many terrifying things…
“If you want to get the notebook, you must distract it and try to finish everything quietly.”
With such a scenario, a golden object floated out of the invisible stomach pouch.
It was a small piece of dog’s head gold, in the shape of a drop. The fracture makes it look like it’s been split from some larger piece of gold.
Holding the small piece of raw gold, Arthur Merlin read softly:
“He could smell the smell of gold from the sand and dust. So the three of them trekked mountains and rivers, deep into the yellow sand. The gold drove them deep into the wasteland, and walked into the abandoned mine despite the advice of the local people. Finally, they found the piece like A hill the size of a gold…
“Barbarossa is its name, which means the emperor in gold. Every mortal who sees the emperor will be fascinated. The daring gold robbers declared their great achievements and imagined how to enjoy this mountain of wealth in the future. But they didn’t realize that the natural texture on Barbarossa constituted an ominous line of ciphertext…
“The cipher text declared that the gold belonged to a powerful evil spirit. The three of them may have discovered something, but they still ignored the warning; taking the gold as their own made a huge mistake.”
“In the end, in order to pay for the crime of possessing Barbarossa privately, the Gold Thieves had to serve the evil spirits to this day.
“The hunter who can smell gold has only a handful of bones left, and he is still climbing that mountain made of gold…”
The texture of the dog’s gold shimmers slightly in purple. Among the smoke and dust, three people came.
“Arthur, I don’t like your tone when you tell this story…” Undead Gunner Wood’s voice seemed to be a chimney with thick smoke, “This is a… tragic story, you shouldn’t use such a relaxed tone.”
“Wood, no offense. I’m just happy to see the old chap.”
“But I don’t. Your **** job is always the dirtiest.” Wood remembered that he had shot the filthy angel and dealt with the Lich in the ancient city that had been dusty for thousands of years. Although he will no longer experience death, he can still feel pain.
This time Arthur hired more than Wood as a gunman. Behind Wood, a woman in a red dress holding a spear, her face covered by a hat. There is also a silent man in black, only a pair of pale eyes can be seen.
“Rose in the Red Dress” and “Black Tombstone” Paxson. These three formed the once famous “Wood Gold Thieves”.
Wood stretched out his hand, and half of the dog’s head gold in Arthur’s hand was cut off out of thin air. Apparently, he and Wood have seen each other less than once.
“Tell me.” The boots with shins exposed hit the ground, and thick black smoke flowed from the skull’s eye sockets. “What are you going to do this time?”

After everything was ready, Arthur came near the tree in the river.
The sight in front of him was beyond Arthur’s imagination. The marsh river is very wide, about fifteen meters away from the other bank. The thick green water flows at an extremely slow speed.
A mossy island protruded from the water, and the tree in the river was on that small island.
Arthur had seen a 300-year-old maple tree before, and the one in front of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was about the same size as that one. The weird branches were twisted and branched, and the whole tree was sickly pale, as if it was the skeleton of some giant.
Many lines were fished from the pale trunks, some empty, others fastened to unrecognizable corpses.
There is no leaf on the tree, but it is full of birds when viewed from a distance.
Arthur, who was hiding in the shadow of the building, opened his eyes and raised his wrist to look at the watch. The second hand struck the number 12, and then struck the next scale. In the distance, the gold robbers tried to cross the river from a little north…
Arthur’s plan was simple and straightforward. He wanted the Gold Thieves to act as Ra’lyeh’s invaders in order to attract the attention of the powerful guard in the swamp river. He turned into a shadow and went to get Stella’s notebook.
Even if there are plural heir-level things in the river, they can share the pressure he will face.
A little to the north, Wood was the first to plunge into the thick river.
The Undead Gunner couldn’t frown, but still felt his forehead tighten. “It doesn’t feel good,” he said.
