Doomsday Code

Chapter 731 Secret

"These treasures must have been destroyed by the lich using the theory of the five elements, although they have lost their original magic.

But looking at the inventory inside, the lich must have used these treasures to refine something. You can search carefully in the space ring later."

Herlous put down the dead branch and said to Chen Cheng.

Although his heart was still hurting, Herlous' words made up for it.

Chen Cheng put away the small boxes and then took out the remaining large box from the ring.

"Elder, this is the last one, but considering the size of the box, I think it's best for you to open it."

Chen Cheng smiled and pushed the box in front of Herlous.

This time, Herlous did not act rashly. Instead, he used an isolation spell first, and then opened the box.

The box was opened, but the imagined dangers or treasures did not appear.

This box is just an ordinary box. There are no secret gold runes in it. There are only some ordinary clothes in the box.

It’s just that the lich was really sloppy. These clothes, which looked clean, still had a strong smell after being unpacked.

Seeing this, Herlous pushed the box to Chen Cheng and said:

"It should contain the lich's daily necessities. There's nothing dangerous in it. You should take it back and take a look at it slowly."

When Chen Cheng smelled the smell, he frowned, and then he saw that the situation inside was really nothing serious, so he thought of throwing it away.

Upon seeing this, Herlous immediately spoke:

"Don't leave it here. I have a very sensitive nose and I can't stand the smell."

Seeing this, Chen Cheng had no choice but to put the ring back into the box and deal with it when he returned.

"By the way, Elder, how was your conversation with His Highness Huidun yesterday?"

After finishing his own business, Chen Cheng asked about Huidun.

Herlous frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"The situation has changed. After being destroyed by the lich, Huidun City has become the target of public attention. Soon, everyone's attention will be directed towards the Kingdom of Moss. At this time..."

Seeing Herlous's hesitation, Chen Cheng immediately said:

"Why is the elder going back on his word? Could it be that even the elves would back down when faced with such an upright matter?

This Huidun City was originally the territory of the Kingdom of Moss. When the disaster came before, these powerful kingdoms either stood by and watched, or sharpened their knives.

But now, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Just because they have a piece of precious land, they can come up and do whatever they want?"

Although Herlous had to weigh the interests due to the sharp decline in the elf population.

But the justice in her blood still existed. After being disturbed by Chen Cheng's words, she also became firm and said:

"Since we've already agreed, we elves will certainly not back down. And you're right, and it was I who resolved the crisis in Wisdom Shield City. I'd like to see who dares to intervene."

Having said this, Melos winked at Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng knew that Herlous wanted to take over the last super destructive magic. Otherwise, when other forces came to investigate, they would definitely suspect him.

By then, no evidence will be needed and he will have to return to the endless days of escape.

So Chen Cheng didn't need to pretend to be so stupid, but said respectfully:

"The elder is right. Your Highness asked the nobles for help on behalf of His Majesty, and the nobles extended a helping hand because they are fellow members of the empire.

Now that the elders have gone to great lengths to resolve the crisis, are we just going to let them reap the benefits?"

After hearing this, Herlous nodded with satisfaction.

Then she paused and said:

“However, this is a blessing and a curse for the Kingdom of Moss. Once the earth’s energy fully erupts, a subterranean brain will likely emerge from beneath the cracks in the abyss.

The other forces are targeting this Earth Brain."

“I will definitely protect this precious land for the Kingdom of Moss. As for this land, I’m afraid the three major forces and several large kingdoms will not give it up.

I’m afraid there will still be some competition at that time.”

Chen Cheng frowned upon hearing this, while Herlous smiled and said:

"There's no need to overthink this. If things are impossible, I will set the realm I participate in the competition to the gold level. This time, the Kingdom of Moss has harvested a lot of magic beast crystals.

In addition, the Black Dragon King will definitely come, and then he will have to spit out some magic crystals as compensation.

As long as we delay for a while, and with your heat conduction magic array, I believe the Kingdom of Moss will not be weaker than the other kingdoms in the gold level."

And Chen Cheng is not a newbie who knows nothing. The Kingdom of Moss was originally the weaker party, but because he brought in the elves, he was able to challenge those big forces.

But the elves are still the elves. Even if he wanted to, Moss XIII had a lot to consider, and it was impossible for him to really be on the same page with the elves.

So this final competition is the best result.

"Then I'll trouble you, Elder."

Then Chen Cheng thought about it and said:

"If possible, I believe that His Highness and His Majesty would agree to share the Earth Brain with the Elves."

Chen Cheng also knew that friendship between people must be give and take, not to mention between countries.

Therefore, if we can really seize the Earth's Brain, it is not impossible to give half of it to the elves.

However, Herlous smiled and said:

“No need, the spiritual branches among these five treasures came from my Moonlight Forest, so we don’t need these treasures.

The reason I was so shocked when I saw those treasures was because of that dead spiritual branch, because it meant that one of our elf friends had been killed."

After Melos's explanation, Chen Cheng finally understood.

At this time, Chen Cheng smiled and said:

"Then it seems I'm not yet a friend of the elves."

When Herlous heard this, she rolled her eyes at Chen Cheng, then turned serious and said:

"Originally, your realm was still low, so I shouldn't have told you this. However, now that you have obtained five destroyed treasures, I should tell you."

"Remember, don't seek this kind of treasure to achieve enlightenment in the future. Your path, or the path of all the emperors of the entire empire, already exists.

All you need to do is restore your nation and ascend the throne again. Then you can use the entire empire as your foundation and become the number one person in this world."

Melos then gave another example.

"The Aoi you mentioned earlier took this path.

It's just that the Kingdom of Moss is too small. According to the preparations of the kings of the Kingdom of Moss, he would have been able to achieve enlightenment with a broken treasure, but it was all destroyed by the eldest prince.

I sensed that the eldest prince must have been influenced by the church, which would not allow such a demigod-level being to emerge."

These should be secrets known by a small group of top people on the continent. I am afraid that even the heir of the leader of the three major forces like Melo does not know them.
