Chapter 22 - Map Cracking

The early morning of spring is always pleasant.

Sikong Haoxuan, who was sitting cross-legged on his bed, had just opened his eyes when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside his room, and the familiar voice made his heart flutter, could it be that ......

"Young Lord, I finally figured out the meaning of this map. The person who drew this map is really smart, we were all misled by him, it's actually very simple." Before Xue'er entered the door, her excited voice had already entered.

Sikong Haoxuan excitedly jumped off the bed, what exciting news, this damn map has been hanging around for a very long time without going up or down.

Looking at Xue'er standing beside her, Sikong Haoxuan's excitement transformed into a full of compassion, gently caressing Xue'er's hair, looking at her red eyes, "Didn't sleep all night?"

Xue'er, who was still in a state of excitement, nodded, "Young Master, come here, I'll tell you, the route of this map is actually really simple."

Sikong Haoxuan softly said, "Sleep for a while, wait until you get up."

"But, Young Master ......," Without waiting for Xue'er to finish her sentence, Sikong Haoxuan gently stroked her 'Black Sweetness Point', and Xue'er quieted down and entered dreamland in Sikong Haoxuan's arms.

Sikong Haoxuan gently placed Xue'er in his arms onto the bed and quietly sat on the side looking at her for a few moments before slowly sinking into his fixation.

By the pond in the back garden of the Sikong Mansion, it was rare that Sikong Haoxuan's figure would be missing in the early morning, and today, the pond was again empty.

Xue'er woke up and looked at the unfamiliar bed in a daze, half remembering what she had to do, she was busy raising her eyes to look around. Sikong Haoxuan sat by the window, apparently entering deep meditation, ignorant of Xue'er's wakefulness.

Quietly walking out of the room, after washing and organizing, Xue'er came to Sikong Haoxuan's side and softly called out, "Young Master ......"

Sikong Haoxuan woke up from his fixation, looked at Xue'er beside him and smiled, "Awake."

Xue'er took out the map from her arms, "It's afternoon, my head hurts after sleeping for so long. Young master, let me tell you about the map." At the mention of the map, Xue'er was clearly a little excited.

Without waiting for Sikong Haoxuan to speak, Xue'er spreads the map on the table beside her and points to the text on the map, "Young Master, look, most of these Mima scripts and mazes on the map are just fronts to deceive people. Only this kind of writing, which is used exclusively by the imperial family of the Mima Empire, is a guiding route sign. I have checked it against the current map, and the route guided by these writings is in the Borealis Forest."

Sikong Haoxuan frowned, "Pollux Forest? The secret of the treasure map is hidden in this forest? It seems to be a bit troublesome."

Xue'er's expression was also filled with disappointment, "Yes, the northeastern region of the empire is hot and humid, and the Porfalls Forest located where it is located has a very large population of magical beasts, and is one of the largest magical beast hotbeds on the continent. It has not been heard of in the continent that anyone has been able to penetrate deep into the center of the forest, but the location indicated by the map happens to be close to the center of the forest."

Sikong Haoxuan got up and walked back and forth in the room, "Xue'er, do you see what this map is about?"

Xue'er hesitated a bit, "From the description on here, it seems to be about the State Master of the Mima Empire, a very vague description, I don't and can't say exactly what it's about."

"State Master? Xue'er, do you know, what was the status of the State Master in the ancient Yima Empire, was he powerful?"

"I know, the State Master was a very special existence during the time of the Mima Empire. At that time, the State Master had power second only to the emperor in the entire empire, that is to say, during the time of the Mima Empire, the emperor exercised his power through the State Master."

Sikong Haoxuan's eyes lit up, "So, during the time of the Mima Empire, the State Master was the true emperor?!"

Xue'er thought for a moment, "You could say that, because during that period the emperor was hidden very deeply for some unknown reason, and all orders were issued through the State Master. However, these are all speculations by later generations based on some texts and relics, there is really very little of the Mima Empire that has been left until now."

Sikong Haoxuan gazed out of the window, something seemed to be difficult to determine in his mind. Xue'er suddenly let out an "ah" and pulled out a piece of paper from her bosom, "Young master, I have drawn down the correct route in the map, and the text has also been translated, so that it is clearer to read."

Xue'er's interruption seemed to have caused Sikong Haoxuan to decide something in his heart, raising his hand to pat Xue'er's tender white little face, "Xue'er's thinking is just thoughtful, thank you! Today young master is giving you a vacation, go out and have some fun."

Sikong Haoxuan's intimate movements caused Xue'er's little face to turn red, "Then I'll go play." After saying that, she ran out of the room as if escaping.

Sikong Haoxuan tapped the map on the table and said to the maid at the door, "Go call Uman and the others to come up."

Soon, four orcs came to Sikong Haoxuan's room, and as the orcs entered, the room was filled with a greasy roasted meat odor.

Sikong Haoxuan helplessly patted his head and pointed at the four orcs who were covered in grease, "You guys don't have any other hobbies other than eating all day? All of you get out, wash and dry yourselves for me, change your clothes and come back."

The four beastmen had absolutely no idea what had angered their young master and wilted as they exited the room to take a bath.

Sikong Haoxuan opened the window of the room completely, and when the smell that filled the room dissipated, the four beastmen also reentered the room.

"How much do you guys know about the Borealis Forest?" Sikong Haoxuan asked the four fully dressed orcs.

Uman opened his mouth and replied, "Young Lord, I know some. The Boreoles Forest spans across three countries, the Golden Empire, the Orc Tribe, and the Stroh Kingdom, and he is one of the continent's largest hotbeds of magical beasts. I've been there in my early years, and it's a terrifying place, magical beasts of level 5 and above appear in all the outskirts of the forest. The most dangerous part of the Pollux Forest is that there are many magical beasts people have never even discovered, so they don't know how to cope with them."

Seeing that Uman had finished, Balon then said, "Young Lord, someone from our clan has been to the Wave Falls Forest and came back with only one arm left, it wasn't the magical beasts that caused him to lose an arm, but rather, it was a terrifying plant."

Sikong Haoxuan stared at the four beastmen, "Prepare yourselves, this night we will go to the Porfalls Forest."

Hearing that Sikong Haoxuan wanted to go to this dangerous place, the four beastmen were startled in their hearts, and Wake was busy saying, "Young Lord, the Imperial Capital to the Boreoles Forest is a four month journey, is it not a bit hasty to leave tonight? We should be more prepared before going."

Sikong Haoxuan shook his head, "No, any later and I'm afraid I won't be able to run out." After saying this, he threw Blue Miller an amethyst card, "Blue Miller, you sneak out now, buy the weapons you are using, then don't need to come back, wait for us outside."

Although Sikong Haoxuan knew about the dangers of the Borealis Forest, he after all lacked an accurate concept of the various strange creatures of this world. So the orc's words did not cause him to retreat or fear, instead, a hunting excitement appeared in his heart.

After arranging for the beastmen, Sikong Haoxuan made a special trip to his mother's place and stayed until after dinner. The happy Song Zi Yan didn't find her son's abnormality at all, she didn't think about her son's heart, is playing with the idea of warping home.

After returning to the courtyard, Sikong Haoxuan avoided Xue'er and explained to Nanxing, letting him go with him to the Pollux Forest at night. In his room Sikong Haoxuan looked at the slowly darkening sky, slowly sinking into cultivation.
