Chapter 1207 – “The King’s Treasure Trove”
”Huh?”
Lin Qiye, who was sitting in the tavern and using his spiritual power to keep an eye on the situation in the central square, let out a light eep in surprise.
The spiritual power that he had spread out and used to sense the situation had suddenly lost contact with him.
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and quickly got up and left the tavern, walking to the roof of the nearest building and looking into the distance.
Only to see that in the sky above the central plaza, countless pale golden threads were drifting out from underneath the agent’s feet, all of them flying towards the city lord who stood majestically on the city wall with a golden scepter in his hand.
”It’s spiritual power ……,” Lin Qiye muttered as he looked at those golden threads, “Their spiritual power, it’s been drained?”
At the same time, the agents in the square, completely panicked.
”My spiritual power is empty!”
”Me too …… I can’t use Divine Ruins anymore!”
”Damn it, what did that old man do?!”
In the crowd, No. 22 stared blankly at the golden scepter in the City Lord’s hand, as if he had thought of something, and muttered:
”[Scepter] …… That’s is the King’s [Scepter]? Damn ……”
The golden threads that filled the sky converged into the body of the City Lord, and this old man who had no fluctuations in his spiritual realm unexpectedly began to break through at a speed that was visible to the naked eye!
”Marigold” realm, “Pool” realm, “Chuan” realm, “Sea” realm,” Limitless” realm …… “Klein”!
”That scepter, it actually makes it possible to forcibly plunder other people’s spiritual energy and use it to raise one’s own realm?”
Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Lin Qiye’s eyes were filled with shock!
Just what kind of divine weapon was that? How could it even do this?
The City Lord’s pale hair, one by one, automatically floated up as he held a golden scepter in his hand, his brilliant golden eyes looking down at the panicked agents below, his body radiating a monarch-like majesty.
He raised the scepter in his hand and once again heavily knocked down the ground!
Thunk-!
A gale filled with majestic spiritual power instantly swept through the bodies of all the agents in the arena, and they only felt their eyes darken as they fainted on the spot.
There was only one exception.
No. 38, who was clad in a black cloak, only shook for a moment under the impact of the spiritual power storm before quickly stabilizing his body.
The gusty wind blew off the brim of his hat, revealing a grotesquely stitched face, and with a frown, his feet under the cloak erupted into a blazing glow, and his entire body bounced and flew up by virtue of his physical strength, instantly spanning across the towering city walls and disappearing into the vast desert.
”Want to escape?” The city lord held his scepter in his hand, snorted coldly, and said to the attendant beside him.
”Use the divine locks to escort them into the prison, behead them tomorrow and give them to the three gods as sacrifices.”
As the words fell, his figure transformed into a long rainbow, chasing after the fleeing 38.
After the city lord left, the attendants present fetched a thin silver lock from somewhere, binding the bodies of all the agents together and escorting them to a deep underground prison.
In the messy square, only a few injured or frightened residents remained, recounting what had just happened to the others who had only just arrived in hindsight.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly as he quietly left the square against the flow of people and walked straight towards the city lord’s mansion.
The agent’s invasion had thrown the entire Wu City into a state of chaos, and as the City Lord, who held a powerful scepter in his hands, had gone after the fleeing 38, and wanted to blend into the City Lord’s Mansion to look for clues, now was the best time to do so.
The location of the City Lord’s Mansion, just four or five lanes away from the square on the street side, the same is a brick and mortar three-story short house, the shape of the ancient, now most of the squires have gone to collect the agents or to maintain the order, only two squires left in front of the door to remain guard.
Perhaps it was because of the small population of Wu City and the simplicity of the people, other than the attendants standing guard, there were hardly any means of preventing outsiders from entering the place, and to Lin Qiye, sneaking into it wasn’t difficult at all.
After confirming that no one was inside the mansion with his spiritual power, Lin Qiye walked straight to the shadows of an alleyway across the street, used [Night Flicker], and directly crossed over the gate where the retainers were keeping watch, appearing on the second floor of the City Lord’s Mansion.
The second floor, seemed to be where the city lord lived and lived on a daily basis, without any valuable clues, Lin Qiye quietly and silently walked up the steps, all the way up, and directly ascended to the third floor.
The door to the room on the third floor was firmly locked by a copper lock.
The moment he saw this copper lock, Lin Qiye knew that he should have found the right place.
Luckily, this copper lock was nothing in front of Lin Qiye as he entered behind the door with a flash and looked around.
Behind the door, there was a hard wooden stand, on which were neatly placed dozens of thumb-thick soft clay boards engraved with ancient cuneiform characters.
”This is …….”
Lin Qiye drew out a soft clay board close by and read it carefully, his eyes gradually lighting up, “Divine artifact information?”
Under the effect of language magic, even this ancient cuneiform script wasn’t the slightest bit difficult to understand for Lin Qiye, and the piece in his hand was engraved with information about the golden wine pot.
”
[God of Wine Jug]: ‘Sub-God’ level artifact, inside it can automatically produce an endless supply of fine wine, the taste of the wine will automatically change depending on the preferences of the taster, one of the most favored artifacts of our King Gilgamesh.

Event Area: (Map)
”
A simple map was drawn in the corner of the soft clay board, labeled, precisely, by the dry oasis Lin Qiye had followed the big men to before.
”One of Gilgamesh’s most favored artifacts …… tsk.” Lin Qiye placed this soft clay tablet back into the distance and continued rummaging.
If he wasn’t wrong, what was collected within this room was a list of all the divine artifacts that Gilgamesh had included in the King’s Treasure Trove, as well as the maintenance methods of the divine artifacts left behind by that original forging family.
Lin Qiye counted the soft clay plates here, and there were a total of sixty-one of them.
In other words, there were a total of sixty-one divine artifacts hidden in this treasure vault?
Lin Qiye flipped through a few soft clay boards one after another, all of which were some non-combat ‘sub-god’ level artifacts, and when he casually pulled one off the top of the wooden shelf and scanned through its contents, his eyes slightly contracted.
”
