Chapter 358 Item Reaction
The geographical location of the Kofman Gorge is in the heart of the western half of the kingdom.
It is sandwiched between two mountain ranges and is shaded all year round.
Moreover, the land is barren, and in theory, such land would be difficult to support its inhabitants.
Indeed, this is true; most of the people here are isolated and impoverished.
However, the lord was not like that; on the contrary, he was exceptionally wealthy.
The main reason for this phenomenon is that this area contains various minerals.
Copper mines, iron mines, silver mines, gold mines, as well as coal mines, gemstone mines, etc.
It's fair to say that this land is made of gold.
Potatoes can't be grown on gold, but bread can be bought there.
Therefore, the castles in the Kofman Gorge are mostly magnificent and sturdy.
The lord here has so much gold in his pocket that he wants to buy the best of everything.
Currently, the city where Aaron is located is called Vulture Fortress.
The fortified gray fortress in the very center of the town could easily withstand an attack by tens of thousands of troops.
Aaron also remembered this place.
The owner of Vulture Castle was named Alvis Price.
He once visited the library and asked the Block Alliance to help him assassinate a patriarch.
Aaron sent Kendrick, who not only completed the mission brilliantly but also brought back a beautiful wife from the Principality of the Holy Envoy.
So, facing the place where he had such a connection, Aaron pondered how best to make use of it.
The carriage stopped at an inn, and the people inside went in and began performing to earn money.
They invited Aaron to perform a magic trick, which would surely elicit cheers, but Aaron declined.
Aaron returned to the room and took out the hexagonal pillar.
Its color became exactly the same as the Jadeite Record.
What exactly is here?
Aaron was very curious and decided to find out.
If it's a lost chapter of the Emerald Record, then Aaron absolutely cannot miss it.
However, Aaron was brought here by that hexagonal pillar.
The six-sided pillars serve the same purpose as road signs.
Are road signs really unique?
If not the only one, are there other perfumers who have also been drawn here?
Aaron must investigate this thoroughly.
If you want to investigate the local situation, it is best to seek the help of the local lord.
Fortunately, Aaron had leverage over the other party.
However, if Aaron were to go to see Alves and enter the castle, he would be subjected to a body search.
At that time, his identity as a candle doll will be revealed.
This was an unacceptable situation for Aaron.
Therefore, it is necessary to get Alves to come to him on his own initiative.
This goal is difficult to achieve, but it is not impossible.
After thinking for a while, Aaron had an idea.
He gathered the people in the caravan together, and the bard immediately asked:
"Mr. Juan, what exactly do you want with us?"
"I'm thinking, could you help me make up a story?"
Singer Hall said, "Sir, artistic creation is not that simple, especially when you need to balance reputation and donations."
Pele nodded: "A good story isn't made up; the event itself has to have potential, or rather, be eye-catching enough."
Coincidentally, Aaron was just about to tell them an outrageous anecdote.
"It is said that a noble lord hired an assassin to assassinate a patriarch in the Duchy of Saints."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Aaron.
Henderson was the first to show interest in the incident: "What was the motive?"
Afterwards, Aaron told them the whole story.
Of course, Aaron omitted all specific references.
Only those directly involved can truly understand that this story is based on a real event that actually happened.
"Hmm," Pele remarked, "this incident is worth investigating."
Hall nodded. "But, sir, I don't understand. Since you've come up with such a bizarre story, you could easily sell it for money. Why are you telling it to us for free?"
"I just like this story. Also, I want to stay in this city for a few days. I hope you'll wait for me and take this opportunity to refine the script based on the residents' reactions."
The group didn't say much, but their eyes showed a mixture of belief and doubt.
Ultimately, they agreed to Aaron's proposal.
They finished writing the story that day.
Hall even composed music for it.
Because Bailey's story was more dramatic, Aesop and Reagan, the two clown actors, could also put their acting skills to good use. The next day, they set up a stall in town and performed the story.
They didn't know that this story was based on a true story.
The performance was exceptionally well received.
It attracted a large audience and made a lot of money.
It was night, and he even came to thank Aaron.
They said that even if Aaron planned to leave now, they intended to make a quick buck first.
Aaron didn't say anything more, letting the rumors circulate for a while longer.
During this time, Aaron also conducted investigations in the vicinity.
Although the Kofman Gorge is full of minerals, it does not have the exotic iron ore found on the plateau.
The city is filled with green-eyed people who serve as the lord's mining slaves.
Aaron kept a watchful eye out for anyone in the city who was hanging perfume bottles, but so far, he had not seen any.
Aaron also heard strange stories in the city.
It is said that the people of Vulture Fortress originally did not believe in God, but instead worshipped a minor deity called the Shadow of Darkness.
It is said that the temple of this faith was built on the cliff of the mountain gorge.
It had long since collapsed and fallen into disrepair, and due to extremely strange rumors circulating about it, everyone kept their distance from the place.
People say that the Shadow is an evil god who has been lurking in the cracks of the world, trying to return to the human realm.
He could use words to entice people into madness, and then control creatures such as rats and cockroaches to attack those who did not obey his commands.
Someone was once forced to spend the night in the mountains and heard the sounds of countless rats and cockroaches at night.
He said the Lord of Shadows was luring him into the underground.
In Aaron's view, this was clearly an anomaly.
Since it is an anomaly, it is possible that changes will occur.
Through the six-sided pillar, Aaron had already guessed that there might be special items in this area.
Therefore, he couldn't possibly miss this kind of clue.
Then that night, a group of soldiers stormed into the hotel.
They drew their swords and surrounded Bailey and the others.
The wanderers looked terrified and bewildered.
Then, an old man entered the house and questioned him sternly:
"Who wrote down the stories you sing during the day?"
Everyone looked at Pele, and the soldier drew his sword, pointing the tip at him.
Pele immediately knelt down: "Innocent! Sir! Someone else told me this story!"
The old man asked, "Who is it?"
Seeing this, Aaron took the initiative to reveal himself:
"It is I, sir, or rather, Baron Alves Price."
The soldiers surrounded Aaron, but the old man looked surprised.
After hearing Aaron call his name accurately, he should have understood that Aaron was coming for him.
"All of you, stand back!"
As Alves spoke, he walked over to Aaron and whispered,
"Sir, what brings you here? Who sent you?"
The moment the other person got close, Aaron felt his body melting.
He then hurriedly took out the six-sided pillar.
It was burning hot.
