(I wish you all a happy New Year and all the best. I wish you a happy New Year.ps. I made some modifications at the end of Chapter 81. Will this be better? Maybe, I'll do my best.)

"Hey, stupid Vivian." Lina stretched out her finger and poked Vivian's cheek: "Since you've recovered, let's get up, we should leave too."

"Are you leaving now?" Vivian tilted his head and secretly looked at Catherine: "That real treasure..."

"Don't think about it. The flash forest is so big, and we don't have any clues. Where can we find the real treasure?" Lina said angrily: "What's more, I don't know if there is a real treasure, forget it."

"Then let Elad, who has been playing tricks on us from beginning to end, ignore it?" Vivian said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not willing."

"Everyone is not willing to accept it." Catherine said angrily: "But there is any way, we don't even know whether he is alive or dead. Even if he is still alive, find a place where no one knows him to hide for a few years. When he grows up and changes his image, we may not recognize him face to face. Then he can easily dig out the real treasure and squander it. How could he be willing to do so?"

"Actually, there is nothing unwilling to give up. We lost completely this time. He is a smart man. He should have planned this result from the beginning." Panis shook his head and said, "From the beginning of guessing that we were going to hunt for treasure, we followed his plan step by step."

"I understand that he has a plan, but I still don't understand why he has to attack us." Catherine asked, "He obviously needs us to help him open the door, right?"

"Because he wants to cut the number of people," Panis explained: "Don't you think we have too many people? So many people

If you go down, it will be difficult to use the trap inside to kill everyone, so you must try to keep the number of people within a range that he can accept so that he can ensure his own safety."

"But just like us, if you or Vivian are killed by him on the way, we may not be able to find the entrance at all." Lina interrupted Panis's explanation: "This way his purpose cannot be achieved."

"What's that? It's not the first time." Panis shrugged: "What do you think the adventure groups he said about the teammates he killed or killed by him before? People like him who do whatever they want for the purpose will not take risks for a mere hatred. It must be because those teams started too many like us, but this time he didn't expect that we were already prepared and did not let him succeed."

"He really didn't expect it." Vivian echoed, "When we exposed him, he was indeed panicked, but he quickly recovered from calmness. I thought he just knew he had no way out, so he just cursed and relieved before he died. Who knew that those were also temporary response plans he made."

"Coping plan? Shouldn't you try to hide what you have done at that time?" Catherine asked, "Why did you say it?"

"Because he has seen through you along the way, our decision-maker." Vivian leaned over and poked Catherine's face in the face like revenge: "If he hadn't exposed his crimes at that time, would you let him go based on what he did to us and Dora?"

"I don't know." Catherine thought for a while and shook her head, "Maybe she would insist on arresting him and handing him over to Dora, but it's hard to say. After all, I'm close to Dora, so maybe I'll deal with him for Dora. Now that I imagine it out of thin air, it's hard to say what decisions I'd make in that situation."

"Yes, so he wants to make your choice safer." Panis took the conversation and replied, "Why did you leave his life without hesitation? At that time, you didn't know that he might know that the real treasure is. It doesn't exist, and you can't kill him because of the treasure. Why did you let him go?"

"He has too much crime and involves too many adventurers teams. If possible, of course I will take him back and eventually hand him over to the guild for handling. The items and equipment left over from the adventure groups that were destroyed because of him must be recovered from him by the guild." Catherine said: "How could I simply take him...well, I understand. Is this the way he thought of in a few seconds?"

"So he is a smart man." Panis sighed: "It's a pity that he's too smart and has become the most unstable factor."

"At least the reason why you can reverse the situation afterwards is already very good." Lina praised her with thumbs up: "If I rely on myself, I can't think of these even if I want to break my head."

"It's meaningless to think about it afterwards." Panis smiled bitterly: "After so many years of experience, a child has made him look like a fool. It seems that I have lived a very comfortable life over the years."

"At least you can know how you lost. You will learn a lesson next time." Lina felt the atmosphere a little low and encouraged her: "Sister, too, aren't you just used it once? There is no need to be depressed for this little thing. Let's go and set off, and there are more tasks waiting for us."

"Who will be depressed for such a thing?" Catherine said with a lip silence: "After all, it was because it was always too smooth that I was too arrogant. I felt that a low-level profession with the black iron level could not escape from our surveillance. I didn't expect that not only escaped, but also took the treasure away. Next time I encountered this situation, I would no longer be so arrogant, just break his legs and grab him back. What's the point of depression?"

"Then why did you look guilty when you're about to cry?" Lina asked, "Go away now."

"Because I have no money, sure enough, will life lose its meaning without money?" Catherine began to return to a depressed state again, lowering her head in depression, but finally returned to the camp not far away rationally and began to demolish the camp and sort out the items.

"Actually, if you change your mind, you might feel better." Panis kept working and continued to persuade: "Maybe Elad said nothing is wrong, but we just don't understand the implicit meaning. Maybe for him, we are really robbers."

"What does it mean?" Catherine was stunned, and even slowed down her movements in her hand. She thought, "Didn't this kind of ownerless property always be a first come first served?"

"Hehe, I suddenly thought of a more interesting question." Panis smiled strangely: "It seems that no one knows what Elad's surname is? If, I mean, if our guess is true, then aren't you surprised why everyone found a treasure map, but only he has detailed information on the real treasure?"

"You mean, he is the real heir of the Naren royal family?" Catherine threw away all the tools in her hand in surprise and said blankly: "Is this possible?"

"Of course there is, and there is no exact record of the complete destruction of the Naren royal family." Panis shrugged: "Don't you think that if Elad's surname is Naren, then this is even more dramatic? And if he's really Naren's surname, then all the unreasonable questions, including why he insists that the treasure belongs to him, and why he is so hostile to other treasure hunters, all of which become reasonable, right?"

"You said this, it's true." Catherine suddenly said, "If this is the case, then all the questions will make sense. Oh, it's a pity that no one can tell us whether this guess is true."

"Is the truth actually not important to us anymore? We have lost the opportunity to find treasure anyway." Panis said indifferently: "The key is, if you think about it this way, will you feel more comfortable?"

"Yeah, indeed." Catherine nodded first, and suddenly her expression became even more sad: "How could she feel comfortable? That's all money, that's the most important thing in the world!!!"

"Hahahaha." Admiring Catherine's image collapsed state that was rare in years, the two girls and Panis couldn't help laughing out loud, sweeping away the haze brought by the failure of treasure hunt in their hearts. The pleasant laughter mixed with Catherine's heartache cry, but it was magically particularly harmonious and warm, floating above the Dragon Scar.

"Bastard Penis, is this what you said shortcut? Damn, I shouldn't believe you."

"Hahahaha, I did come back two days in advance. I was right. Hehe, I didn't say that the shortcuts would be easier to walk."

At dusk in early winter, such a conversation suddenly rang out in the jungle on the edge of the Shining Forest. Soon, four figures flashed out from the bare forest where the leaves fell. Each of them had mud on their faces, and many parts of their bodies were slightly oozing out of their clothes, and their clothes were damaged and stained everywhere, making them look particularly embarrassed.

Her silver hair had been stained with mud and dust and turned yellow-brown. Lina complained loudly in dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say that the trunk must be strong, and it's absolutely okay to walk over? Why did it break when I walked up and cause me to fall into the river? Bastard, I almost drowned."

"Actually, the trunk was really strong, and there was a reason for breaking it." Panis faced Lina with a serious expression and said in a heavy tone: "That's because you've become heavier again."

"Die 10,000 times."

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble." Catherine smiled bitterly and stopped Lina, who was trying hard to go up and complained: "That river is only waist-deep. Who knows that you can almost drown at that depth. And you, Panis, don't always provoke Lina. She is crazy, are you crazy with her? And the trunk broke, obviously you didn't do your duty."

"Who is crazy, sister." Lina protested dissatisfiedly: "I'm normal, okay?"

"Okay, it's a headache for me. Look at Vivian, be careful that she will lose her again after a while. You guys are always like this." Catherine felt that she was split by the noisy headache: "But finally came out. You must take a good shower and sleep in the village. She is so tired."

"Yes, you must wash it well." Lina nodded and said with her long hair, "Look at the mud, it will make my hair three kilograms heavier."

"So I'm right." Panis nodded and said, "You're really heavy again."

"Die!" Lina rushed out with Panis who was running like an arrow.

"Oh, I don't care." Catherine covered her face in pain and moaned, "Whatever you want."

"Let you run away, beat you to death, you dare to hide, kill you, and if you have the ability, you can come down from the tree." Lina was laughing while chasing her, and finally she stood there with sweat on her head and gasped: "Damn, you run so fast."

"I've said it, I'm a professional escape master." Panis was joking, and suddenly his face changed: "Shh, something is wrong in the village."
