Chapter 1205 City Lord
It seems these are indeed the descendants of the forging family that Gilgamesh left in the King’s Treasury back then.
In other words, the ancient kingdom of Uruk still has a lineage that hasn’t completely died out?
While Lin Qiye was pondering, everyone pushing the wooden cart had already arrived at the center of a spacious square. An old man wearing a gray robe and holding a cane was already waiting in front of them.
“City Lord!!”
The leading man excitedly waved his hand.
“You’ve finally returned…” The City Lord looked at the barrels of wine fully loaded on everyone’s cart, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face. “Looks like today’s harvest is good.”
“A full 60 kilograms, City Lord! Enough for the city to drink for several days!”
“Well done. Later, everyone can collect two extra bags of rice.”
“Thank you, City Lord!”
The big man repeatedly expressed his gratitude, smiling as he walked past Lin Qiye and patted him on the shoulder.
“Hey, Old Six, why aren’t you happy at all?”
Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched, and he forced out a smile.
“Don’t force him… Old Six, we’re going to have a celebration drink, are you coming?”
Lin Qiye firmly shook his head, “I’ll pass.”
“Then we’ll go.”
The big men didn’t insist, they put their arms around each other’s shoulders and left laughing, leaving Lin Qiye alone in the square.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, the elderly City Lord suddenly spoke:
“Old Six, wait a moment.”
Lin Qiye’s gaze focused, and he stopped.
“What is it, City Lord?” he asked, turning his head.
The City Lord leaned on his cane, lightly waved his hand, and someone behind him came forward carrying a wooden box, walked up to Lin Qiye, and opened it.
Inside the wooden box was a deep blue crystal ball.
“This is…”
“Old Six, now that you’ve come of age, according to our Wu City’s rules, each household must receive a divine artifact to maintain and care for, passing it down through generations… This crystal was originally in your parents’ care, and since they had an accident, and you now have the ability to maintain it independently, it will be entrusted to you from now on.”
The City Lord walked up to him and spoke earnestly.
Lin Qiye was stunned for a while before finally coming to his senses and taking the wooden box containing the crystal ball.
“Yes, City Lord,” Lin Qiye responded.
The City Lord patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Lin Qiye stood alone in the center of the square holding the wooden box, feeling somewhat bewildered.
After coming of age, each household receives a divine artifact to maintain… why does this sound so mystical?
It’s as absurd as claiming that after coming of age, everyone in a certain city gets to adopt a giant panda.
In any case, there was no reason to refuse a divine artifact that had been forced into his hands. Lin Qiye quickly left with the wooden box, extending his spiritual power to explore this ancient and mysterious city.
The city wasn’t large. Lin Qiye roughly estimated that there were fewer than three hundred people in the city, but each household had many children, so calculated differently, there were about thirty-plus households in the city.
In other words, just in this city alone, there were thirty divine artifacts hidden?
Then what about the entire treasury?
Was Gilgamesh’s treasure truly this terrifying?
But thinking carefully, it wasn’t too outrageous. Divine artifacts also had their hierarchies. Since entering this treasury, Lin Qiye hadn’t seen any impressive divine artifacts.
Boots that run faster the faster you chase them; spears and birds that fly around for fun; wine jars that enjoy watching people sing and dance and possess endless wine… Although they were called divine artifacts, compared to Lin Qiye’s Ama-no-Murakumo sword and the [Divine Calamity] in Youlilongbai’s hands, they weren’t even in the same league.
Of course, this didn’t mean there were no impressive divine artifacts in the entire Wu City.
Clang!!
In a blacksmith shop by the street, a muscular man with a bare upper body was holding a small black hammer, earnestly hammering a sword blank below him.
Each time he brought down the hammer, a ferocious lightning bolt streaked across the sky. The terrifying aura rolled over the street, and even Lin Qiye felt the pressure.
The man wielding the hammer was merely mortal flesh, but the phenomena in the sky were purely the power of that hammer.
Not only that, at the end of the street, an elderly woman holding a green bell gently shook it at the pile of dead branches and leaves in the courtyard, and a whirlwind arose from nowhere, blowing all the garbage up to the clouds, dropping it in the desert.
Farmers with sickles, girls with bracelets, young men playing wind flutes… Amidst the ordinary and simple daily life, extraordinary divine artifact powers were everywhere.
Here, divine artifacts no longer seemed to be lofty divine artifacts, but rather a part of the lives of the people in this city.
Lin Qiye’s spiritual power constantly monitored the situation on the nearby streets, and he also heard some information from the passing pedestrians.
All the divine artifacts stored in this Wu City were controllable and harmless.
Outside the city walls was the domain of uncontrollable divine artifacts. Here, “uncontrollable” didn’t mean they were too dangerous, but rather that after developing consciousness, these artifacts were unwilling to dwell within the city walls, such as the mischievous and noisy wine jar, as well as the boots and birds.
Of course, outside the city walls, there were also some extremely dangerous divine artifacts, but such existences were beyond the reach of the people in Wu City.
Unfortunately, despite listening for a long time, Lin Qiye couldn’t find any information about the whereabouts of the [Star Coin] artifact.
After wandering around the city, he found a relatively quiet tavern and sat down.
This city concealed too many divine artifacts. Not just him, even human top-tier powerhouses would likely stumble badly if they underestimated the locals here.
To find the [Star Coin], he needed to use wit, not brute force…
Just as Lin Qiye was carefully calculating, a thunderous explosion suddenly sounded from the sky, followed by the violent shaking of the ground beneath everyone’s feet!
“Hmm?”
Lin Qiye seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
“Looks like the fools who are about to stumble have arrived…”
…
Mist.
Above the churning sea surface, two figures stood tall in the sky, looking down at the King Turtle swimming below, joy appearing on their faces.
“Found it… it’s indeed here!” No. 04 murmured.
No. 03 glanced at the King Turtle below, then turned to look at the twenty-plus agents wearing black cloaks behind him.
“Have you all understood what I’ve instructed? Either bring out the King’s Treasury within three days, or… be tortured to death by the poison I’ve planted in you, with both body and soul destroyed.”
The twenty-plus divine agents lowered their heads in silence, clenching their fists, their eyes filled with unwillingness.
No. 03 and No. 04 exchanged glances, and in the next moment, two terrifying waves of divine pressure crashed down from the sky!!
