Although Professor Hughes didn't say it clearly, combined with the appearance of Trolbo, Art could also guess what it was.

Mostly to see the original murals.

The rubbing version has been studied for a week but has not made any progress. No matter whether Trolpo is willing or not, in order to solve the problem, he can only take Professor Hughes to see the original mural.

No matter how similar the rubbing is, it will definitely be different from the original.

Especially this scene involving sacrificial rituals.

Professor Hughes knew that he was afraid to avoid such things, so he simply didn't talk to him.

"Come in and get it yourself."

Art followed Professor Hughes into the house to get the books.

He sorted it out by himself, and he knows better than Professor Hughes.

Although the technology in this world is relatively advanced, knowledge is monopolized by the elite, not to mention looking up information from the Internet at any time like in his previous life, a lot of knowledge is simply out of reach of the common people, and even most people have never heard of it!

He usually reads with Professor Hughes, but this time because he had to go out, Professor Hughes asked him to take the book back.

However, he also told him not to lose it or spread it outside.

Arthur agreed with a serious face.

This book is densely filled with Professor Hughes' remarks, which is more than 10 times more precious!

Regardless of the weight of knowledge or the importance of Professor Hughes, he should take it seriously.

"By the way, teacher, I have a key here." After Professor Hughes finished giving instructions, he took out the key from his pocket.

Professor Hughes was attracted by the rune patterns on the key at first glance.

After receiving the key, he observed carefully with a focused face.

As if to prevent himself from talking to himself inadvertently, his lips were tightly pursed, and his slightly swollen beard proved that he was in a high mood at the moment.

After a while, he took a magnifying glass.

keep an eye on.

Art was used to him being so focused, and he sat aside and flipped through the book.

Take a quick look first.

"Where did it come from?" After ten minutes, Professor Hughes finally put down the magnifying glass.

I had to admire his physique, he kept his head down for more than ten minutes so intently, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all.

You know, he's a...well, Art doesn't know his real age either.

It's not easy to ask, I only know that he is not young.

"Brought from my hometown, it is said that it can open any locked treasure chest." Art has already thought of an excuse, there is no need to be perfect, and with the character of Professor Hughes, he will not care about the origin of this thing.

"Tested?" Professor Hughes asked enthusiastically.

"No." Arthur shook his head.

"Wait for me." Professor Hughes got up and left.

After a while, he came back holding a locked bronze treasure chest.

It is not very big, about 18cm high and less than 30cm wide, and it is held by him with one hand.

"How to use it?" After putting it on the table, he picked up the key and looked at Art.

"I don't know, why don't you study it?" Art rubbed his nose embarrassingly.

Professor Hughes was speechless.

Holding the key, he was about to insert it into the lock when suddenly he paused and asked, "How many keys do you have?"

"I only have one here, but there are still some in my hometown."

"Is this one enough?"

"Um."

After getting his consent, Professor Hughes finally started.

Without any special effects, the key was smoothly inserted into the keyhole.

Professor Hughes twisted slightly.

"Click!" With a soft sound, the lock was opened.

However, the key in the hands of Professor Hughes also disappeared.

The moment the lock was opened, it seemed to be erased from the world by an invisible force!

Because they all happened at the same time, various emotions such as surprise, astonishment, and regret appeared on Professor Hughes' face almost at the same time.

"Disposable items?" After a while, he muttered.

In the end, joy prevailed.

Occasionally, some unopenable boxes and the like are encountered during archaeology, and most of them cannot be cracked with violence. At this time, such a key can be called a magic weapon.

"How many do you have at home?" This is the most important question.

"I don't know, I didn't ask." Art said, "I'll ask my family to send it to me when I go back, but it may take a long time."

"I'll buy it for 50 gold shields a handful, how about it?" Professor Hughes offered an offer.

Although the key has a magical effect, the premise is that there must be a treasure chest, and I don't know the scope of application. Is it true that any treasure chest can be used.

"Okay." At least Art was satisfied.

Selling it to Professor Hughes is 50 gold shields, which is equivalent to a stable sales channel.

In addition, he can also sell it to someone who needs it separately, and then the price will not be the same.

"Teacher, please help me keep it a secret." I don't want people to know that the key comes from me.

"I know!" Professor Hughes already knew his character, so he was not surprised by his request at all.

It would be strange if he didn't mention this.

"This is 50 gold shields, the money for the key just now." Professor Hughes turned around and took out a gold coupon with a face value of 50 gold shields from the room, and handed it to him.

"I'm a little tight recently, so I won't be polite to you. I'll give you an extra key next time." Art took it with a smile.

"No, I use the key, so I will pay for it." Professor Hughes refused to take advantage of him.

"Teacher is grand!" Art yelled.

"Tell me a few more words." Professor Hughes, instead of being reserved, asked him to continue with a sense of freshness.

Arthur twitched his lips.

"By the way!" Professor Hughes suddenly looked up, and told him: "Some people don't want him to succeed in the matter of Trolbo. I refused here. Be careful recently."

Art froze.

He had tried his best to avoid this matter, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't dodge it!

"Who? You mean you're going to attack me?" He asked hastily.

"Another nobleman may use you to coerce me." Professor Hughes explained, "If you encounter special circumstances, you can surrender directly, and your life will not be in danger."

"What if I hurt someone by resisting?" There was a strange light in Art's eyes.

The reason why I am so cowardly is because I don't like to give my destiny to others to control!

"Don't be brave!" Professor Hughes sternly said.

A person who was obviously so cautious changed his temper at a critical moment.

"Then if I get caught, will it affect you?" Art scratched his hair.

"If I have an excuse, I can quit." Professor Hughes replied.

"Then I'll try my best not to get caught." Art said with a smile.

"It may not necessarily implicate you, this is just my guess, but as you said, there is nothing wrong with being careful." Professor Hughes comforted him.

A few minutes later, Art left first.

I was not relieved by Professor Hughes' relief. According to Murphy's Law, if things have the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

Professor Hughes said that you can withdraw if you have an excuse, but what if Trolpo disagrees?

Must prepare early.

Do you want to find a place to hide for a while?

It is better not to have a direct conflict, but he is still very weak now.
