Chapter 414： A disordered graph

Needless to say, what Lei Xiao thought of was naturally the strange treasure map presented by Xuanyue in the treasure vault in Mailan City.

"Remember that bizarre treasure map, hidden in the hidden mezzanine of a simple mahogany cabinet, it can be said to be extremely secret.

The mountain peaks and forests above it are not only frontal, but also upside-down and sloping. They are indeed messy and disorderly.

In my spare time, I also took it out and studied it with Ye Cang and others several times, but I never had any clue.

However, the big red cross in the conspicuous position in the picture shows that it really looks like a treasure map. "

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his hand, and while signaling the servants beside him to suspend their progress, he continued to think to himself: "That strange treasure map.

It's on me now. Could it be that what the mercenary described just now is this picture? "

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's eyes moved, and he finally focused his gaze on the mercenary at the table who was talking about the matter.

On the other side, there were eight mercenaries in that table, and they were eating and drinking in front of a large square table full of wine and meat.

"There really is such a magical object?"

At this moment, the slightly sharp voice sounded again.

I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a ranger dressed in inferior leather armor, put down the frosted leg of lamb that was half eaten in his hand, and grabbed the wine glass beside him.

With a skeptical expression, he said, "Old Hei, aren't you making up stories again?

Your kid once said that you subdued a bluestone mysterious python with your bare hands, but when you escorted a mission last month, you let a young boy get caught up in the sky! "

"Hahaha, I remembered, this coward even urinated his pants in mid-air, almost dousing the fireball on Lao Tzu's staff!"

Another middle-aged magician in a dirty robe on the side put down the beer mug in his hand, covered his stomach and laughed loudly: "Look at me, although this kid looks like a swordsman.

But it is quite suitable to be a bard who tells stories every day! "

"Brothers, can you stop exposing the shortcomings of the younger brother." Hearing this, the messy-haired swordsman in tattered light armor lifted his head and smiled awkwardly.

Judging from his voice, he was the mercenary who mentioned "Map of Disorder" at the beginning.

After he finished speaking, I saw him grab the wine glass, take a big mouthful first, and then said, "Forget it, since the brothers don't want to hear it, I won't say anything."

However, at this moment.

I saw a few large stacks of shiny gold coins suddenly slapped on the wine table.

A young man with a soft complexion, surrounded by several followers, appeared in front of the mercenary table.

The person here is none other than Lei Xiao.

On the other side, seeing this golden brilliance, all the mercenaries were stunned for a moment, then put down their wine glasses and looked up at Lei Xiao, all swallowing spit.

You know, for them, the pile of golden dragons in front of them is by no means a small number.

At the same time, Lei Xiao's extravagant action caused the other mercenaries around the table to look sideways, with expressions of astonishment and admiration on their faces.

Not far away, several young waitresses carrying trays even collided with each other in order to glance at Lei Xiao.

There is no doubt that the people who can come up with such a handwriting are very likely to be ordinary commoners like them, the noble class that they can't reach in their lifetime!

For a time, the group of one's own party became the absolute focus of the audience in an instant.

"Your Excellency, you are..." Immediately afterwards, the messy-haired swordsman quickly stood up and asked cautiously.

At this time, although Lei Xiao and the subordinates behind him did not give off the breath of a strong man, they were only transformed into ordinary commoners.

But these mercenaries who lick blood on the knife edge every day can clearly feel it.

The young man in front of him is obviously not a generalist.

"It's nothing, I was a little curious when I heard your Excellency mentioning the "Map of Disorder" just now. "

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao pushed the stacks of gold coins on the table forward at will.

Then he said to the messy-haired swordsman, "Just tell me about the "Map of Chaos", and these golden dragons will be yours. "

"Your Excellency, please sit down! The villain will tell everything he knows!"

On the other side, I saw the wild-haired swordsman looking overjoyed, and he quickly signaled the other mercenaries to lean towards him, giving Lei Xiao a full position alone.

"Let's start then." Lei Xiao nodded slightly as he sat unceremoniously in front of the messy-haired mercenary.

"To tell the truth, about the map of disorder.

It was told by the villain after listening to an old bard after drinking on a mission not long ago. "

He nodded slightly to Lei Xiao, and also sat back to the messy-haired mercenary in his seat, first looking at the gold coins on the table, and then respectfully said: "It is said.

The disordered map, also known as the magic puzzle, is an ancient alien technology whose exact origin is unknown.

Although the whole is a piece of paper, it is divided into several parts.

It is necessary to restore the original appearance from the messy and disordered paper.

It is necessary to find the "key" that unlocks the presets of this magical puzzle. "

"The default 'key'? Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "How can I find the 'key'? "

"Returning to Your Excellency, the old bard didn't make it clear about the "key" either. "

He smiled embarrassedly, the messy-haired swordsman took his head, and added: "However, the villain listens to the meaning of the old bard.

This "key" seems to be set by the creator of the disordered map himself, and each disordered map is different.

Only the puzzle solver expected by the blueprint maker can find the "key" and finally restore the disordered drawing to its original state.

And the location marked by the map of disorder may be a treasure trove or a resting place for the maker.

It is only up to the solver to come to inherit the treasure or legacy of the figure maker.

Moreover, it is certain that the creator of the disordered map will definitely not be an ordinary powerhouse.

So, just being able to find the real location marked by the disordered map will be of great benefit! "

"It turns out that, that is to say, this so-called "key" is the key to restoring the original appearance of the disordered map. "

Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to ask: "What else did the old bard say about the "key"? "

On the other side, the messy-haired swordsman rolled his eyes and pondered for a while, then said, "The other party mentioned it before.

The hint to find the "key" is likely to be on the original screen of the disordered map! "

"Understood." Hearing this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin while thinking to himself: "From what I have learned so far, it is basically certain.

The strange treasure map in my hand is a map of disorder.

Since there is nothing to do this afternoon, let's find a way to unravel this disorder.

Perhaps, in the real marked place on the map, it is still unknown what unexpected treasures can be obtained by oneself. "

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao confirmed that the swordsman with random hair had no other useful information.

He took the knotweed and others, and left the open-air tavern under the longing and respectful gazes of the surrounding diners and maids.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao and his party returned to the City Lord's Mansion in Fenglong City.

Furthermore, Tran was instructed to find a quiet meeting room in the castle.

After sitting down on the sofa, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a yellow mottled parchment appeared on the palm of his hand.

At the same time, along with the appearance of mottled parchment, a faint musty smell immediately poured into Lei Xiao's nostrils.

Feeling the quaint taste brought by the erosion of the years, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and began to take a closer look.

First of all, in this disordered picture, there are no traces of cutting at the edges, and no lines are drawn at the edges. It is obviously a complete drawing.

Secondly, in the center of the drawing, a thick black line is used to depict a picture similar to a map.

However, upon closer inspection, this picture is indeed like a jigsaw puzzle that is haphazardly put together, extremely disorganized.

In addition to seeing the patterns of mountains and trees.

Even, people can't judge at all, which side is the real positive.

Finally, also in the center of the drawing, there is a very striking red cross mark.

Around the intersection, it seems to be a mountain range, and it seems to be a mountain stream.

However, due to the fact that it is too fragmented, it is impossible to determine the specific location.

In addition, it may be due to some fading due to age.

The red cross is drawn not by a solid line, but by a dashed line.

The most important thing is that this disordered picture is not like a real jigsaw puzzle, which is composed of pieces.

As long as you carefully observe the rules and outlines, you can finally stitch together.

Instead, every marker, and even every line, was completely disrupted or even distorted, without any rules at all.

If you insist on splicing, you will undoubtedly be able to combine thousands of different drawings, making it difficult for people to distinguish.

"It seems that the only way is to find the "key" to unlock the secret as the mercenary said just now. "

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao spread out the blueprint on the wooden coffee table in front of him, signaling his subordinates to study together.

On the other hand, he couldn't help but ponder: "Just as I thought about it just now.

I've researched many times with the subordinates before this, but have gotten nowhere.

And the mercenary mentioned that the hint about the "key" is in the map of disorder itself.

It seems that the mystery has to be found first from the picture. "

Just when Lei Xiao thought about it.

I saw Chao Yan on the side, blinking her big shining eyes, while nibbling on a piece of delicate pastry that Tran had just sent by his servant.

While thinking thoughtfully: "Lord Lord, where is the "key" hint of this disordered map?

Before this, we have tried different energy infusions, or the use of detection-type manifestation spells.

However, it didn't have any effect. "

"Yes, common methods such as roasting and soaking have also been tried, and the parchment itself has no interlayer."

On the other side, Ye Cang pushed the gold wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, frowned and said, "Since the conventional and unconventional methods are useless.

So, where is the mystery of this disordered map? "

"Lord Lord, do you feel that the red cross is a little awkward?"

After pondering for a moment, I saw Bai Wei holding a chocolate chip cookie while wondering.

"What is marked there is obviously the specific location of the treasure." Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and responded.

"However, Lord Lord, this picture is so complicated that it is impossible to see why.

It doesn't seem to be of any use to mark the location of the treasure now. "On the other side, the fluffy ears on top of Bai Wei's head moved, and she said with a puzzled expression.

"Bai Wei, do you mean that the red X-shaped mark is not the location of the treasure, but something else?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao seemed to realize something, and his eyes lit up.

Immediately he said, "So it is, it seems that the red mark is an important reminder of the "key" of this disordered map! "

"Understood, this is a puzzle set up by the other party using inertial thinking.

Since this is a treasure map, we naturally preconceived that the red X-shaped mark represents the location of the treasure.

However, it hit the other side's arms and fell into a dead end of thinking. "

At this moment, Ye Cang's golden glasses reflected a white light, and then he said, "Lord Lord, say so.

If this red cross mark is not the location of the treasure, but something else.

Coupled with the fact that it is made up of dotted lines, the answer is naturally very obvious. "

"It's a fold line!"

On the other side, Chaoyan's iconic big eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Just fold this disordered map as marked above!"

"Let's start." Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao motioned Ye Cang to operate.

"As ordered, Lord Lord." Bowing gracefully to Lei Xiao, Ye Cang folded the yellowish parchment paper in turn as indicated by the markings on the picture Sure enough, the next second , accompanied by a faint wave of energy ripples.

When Ye Cang unfolded the parchment again.

This time, despite the surface of the drawing, it was still disorganized.

However, a brand new oval pattern has already appeared in the lower left corner of the drawing.

"That seems to be a mirror!" At this time, Chaoyan's big eyes flickered, and he blurted out: "It seems that it is only in the mirror.

This disordered picture can show the true original appearance! "

However, when Lei Xiao motioned for the knotweed beside him, he moved the large coat mirror in the room.

In the mirror, the quaint picture of disorder still did not change.

"What the **** is going on here? It's clearly a mirror painted on it."

Seeing this, Chaoyan took his head, and the pretty face was full of puzzled expressions.
