Chapter 1205 – City Lord
It seemed that these were indeed the descendants of the Forge Family that Gilgamesh had left inside the King’s Treasure Trove back then.
In other words, the Uruk Kingdom back then, there was still a lineage left that hadn’t completely died out?
Just as Lin Qiye was pondering, the crowd pushed their wooden carts and had already walked to the center of a wide plaza, where an old man in gray robes, holding a walking stick, was already waiting in front of the crowd.
”City Lord!!!”
The big man at the head waved his hand excitedly.
”You guys finally came back …… “The city lord looked at the wine barrels loaded on the crowd’s car, and a smile appeared on his creased face, “It seems like today’s harvest was good.”
”A full 60 kilograms ah City Lord! Enough for the city to drink for days!”
”Good job, in a moment, every other person will go and collect two more bags of rice.”
”Thank you City Lord!”
The big man thanked him repeatedly and smiled as he walked by Lin Qiye’s side and patted him on the shoulder.
”I say Old Six, why aren’t you happy at all?”
The corners of Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched as he forced out a smile.
”Don’t force him …… Old Six, we’re going to have a celebratory drink, are you going?”
Lin Qiye shook his head decisively, “I’m not going.”
”Then let’s go.”
The big men didn’t force themselves, hooking shoulders with each other and laughing as they turned to leave, leaving Lin Qiye alone in the square.
He was about to turn around and leave when that aged city lord suddenly spoke:
”Old Six, wait a moment.”
Lin Qiye’s gaze froze and he stopped in his tracks.
”What’s wrong City Lord?” He turned his head and asked.
The City Lord held his walking stick and gently waved his hand, so a person behind him held a wooden box and walked over to Lin Qiye and opened it.
Within the wooden box, a deep blue crystal ball was quietly placed.
”This is ……”
”Lao Liu ah, now that you’ve also reached adulthood, according to our Wu City rules, each family has to receive a divine weapon to maintain and pass it down from generation to generation……. This crystal was originally something your parents kept, since they had an accident, and you have the ability to maintain it independently, in the future it will be given to you. ”
The city lord walked up to him and spoke in a serious tone.
Lin Qiye froze for a long time before he finally came back to his senses and received the wooden box carrying the crystal ball into his hands.
”Yes, City Lord.” Lin Qiye responded.
The City Lord patted his shoulder and turned to leave.
Lin Qiye held the wooden box in his hands and stood alone in the center of the square, momentarily still a bit confused.
After reaching adulthood, each family receives maintenance of a divine weapon …… Why does this matter sound so mysterious?
It is the same bluff as a certain city people claiming that each person can adopt a giant panda after reaching adulthood.
In any case, there’s no reason to leave the artifact in your hands, so Lin Qiye quickly left with the wooden box in his arms and extended his spiritual power to explore this ancient and mysterious city state in all directions.
This city-state wasn’t big, Lin Qiye roughly estimated that the population within the city was less than three hundred, but each family had many children, so converted, there were about thirty families within the city.
In other words, thirty divine artifacts were hidden in this city-state alone?
What about the entire treasure trove?
Gilgamesh’s treasure, it was so terrifying to this extent?
However, if you think about it carefully, it’s not too outrageous, there are three, six, nine grades of artifacts, and from the time he entered this treasure trove until now, Lin Qiye hasn’t seen any decent artifacts.
Boots that ran faster and chased faster; lances and flying birds that flew around looking for fun; wine jugs that liked to watch people sing and dance and possessed endless amounts of fine wine …… Although they were said to be divine artifacts, they weren’t even on the same level as Lin Qiye’s Heavenly Crowning Cloud Sword, as well as the [Divine Scourge] that Yuzu Li Takeru Bai was holding in his hands.
Of course, this didn’t mean that there were no decent divine weapons within the entire Wu City.
Clang-!
In the blacksmith’s store by the street, a stout man with a shirtless body, holding a small black hammer in his hand, was earnestly hammering the sword embryo underneath him.
Every time he dropped the hammer, a hideous lightning bolt would streak across the sky, and a terrifying aura tumbled above the street, so that even Lin Qiye felt a sense of oppression.
The man who wielded the hammer was nothing more than a fleshly mortal, and the visions in the sky were purely the power of that hammer.
Not only that, at the end of the street, an aged old woman, holding a green bell in her hand, gently shook it at the dead branches and leaves piled up in the compound, and a whirlwind rose out of nowhere, blowing all the garbage up into the clouds and landing in the desert.
Farmers with scythes, young girls wearing bracelets, and youths playing bagpipes …… between the ordinary and simple daily life, but everywhere is extraordinary power of divine weapons.
Here, divine artifacts no longer seemed to be high and mighty, but rather a part of life with the people in this city.
Lin Qiye’s spiritual power was constantly focused on the situation on the nearby streets, and from the mouths of the pedestrians coming and going, he had heard some information.
All of the ones stored within this Wu City were currently controllable and harmless artifacts.
Outside the city walls, it was the world of uncontrollable artifacts, where “uncontrollable” did not mean too dangerous, but after the birth of spirituality, these artifacts did not want to live within the city walls, such as the mischievous and noisy wine pots, as well as boots and flying birds.
Of course, there were some overly dangerous divine artifacts hidden outside of the city walls, but that kind of existence simply wasn’t something that the people within Wu City could touch.
Unfortunately, Lin Qiye listened for a long time, but he couldn’t find any divine artifacts with information about the whereabouts of the [Star Coin].
After skulking around the city, he found a fairly quiet tavern and sat down.
In this city, there were too many divine artifacts lurking, not to mention him, even if a human ceiling level powerhouse came here, if they took the natives here lightly, I’m afraid that they would have to fall head over heels.
If you want to find [star coins], you still have to be wise and not use brute force ……
Just as Lin Qiye was carefully calculating, a booming thunderclap suddenly rang out from the sky, followed by the earth underneath everyone’s feet trembling violently!
”Eh?”
Lin Qiye looked up into the sky as if he sensed something.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up in a smile, and
”Looks like the fools who are going to fall head over heels are here ……”
Misty.
Above the churning sea, two figures stood high in the sky, looking down at the king turtle swimming below, and a happy color emerged on their faces.
”Found it …… Sure enough, it’s here!” No. 04 muttered.
03 swept his eyes at the King Turtle at his feet, and turned his head to the twenty or so agents cloaked in black cloaks behind him.
”Have you all heard clearly what I have explained to you? Either you bring out the King’s Treasure Trove within three days, or …… you will be tortured to death by the poisonous lead I planted, and your gods and souls will be destroyed.”
The twenty or so divine agents lowered their heads and clenched their fists in silence, their eyes full of unwillingness.
No. 03 and No. 04 looked at each other, and in the next moment, the terrifying two Divine Mighty Pressures came crashing down from above the celestial dome!
