I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

There are currently 19 Celestial Dragon families remaining in the Holy Land.

The Celestial Dragons almost always wear spherical bubble shields.

In Sig's memory, there was only one Celestial Dragon in the original work who wore a square bubble shield on his head.

That is, the Saint Charles whom he had met many times.

But now, seven or eight Celestial Dragons, each wearing a square bubble shield, suddenly appeared.

"Probably from the same family as Saint Charmaco," Sig thought to himself.

The golden lion next to it reacted even faster.

"Finally, I've met the main character, the Celestial Dragon..."

Shiki the Golden Lion sneered. He was the first to rush forward and with a few swift sword strikes, he killed the last few bodyguards protecting the Celestial Dragons.

"Tell me, where is your treasure?" the golden lion threatened in a cold voice.

With just a slight intimidation, the Celestial Dragons spilled everything they knew, like beans pouring from a bamboo tube:

"On the third floor of the castle, the third room from the right is the treasure room."

"And... there's also a treasure room in the southeast corner of the third-floor staircase."

"And...."

The nine Celestial Dragons started talking all at once, and there was even a sense of urgency in their conversation.

Even the Golden Lion and his crew were somewhat bewildered by the scene.

"There are a total of 1, 2, 3... 9 treasure rooms?"

Sig looked up at the Celestial Dragons in front of him, somewhat surprised.

“That’s right, each of us has our own little treasure trove. This is all the treasure we have in the Valley of the Gods!” one of the Celestial Dragons replied.

"There are nine of them... These Celestial Dragons are really rich!"

The pirates were already discussing it, their eyes gleaming with greed.

Some people couldn't contain their greed and immediately started climbing the stairs towards the location the Celestial Dragons had indicated, heading towards the treasure room.

"Hehehehe... Captain Rocks, I'm taking my leave now!"

The golden lion burst into laughter, its body already floating and rapidly ascending into the air.

"Golden Lion, don't even think about seizing the initiative!"

At the same time, the Undead Hale leaped into the air, transforming into a cockroach bully, flapping its small wings and taking flight, closely following the Golden Lion.

"Come on! There are nine treasure rooms in total. Go to another one. Don't try to take it from me!"

"Hehe...I think the one you went to had more treasures!" Hale laughed.

Not only Golden Lion and his companion, but the rest of the pirates were also impatient, splitting into many groups and rushing toward the nine treasure rooms mentioned by the Celestial Dragons.

But Sieg did not move.

It's not that he wasn't tempted by the treasure.

The truth is, his inventory simply doesn't have much room left to store much more.

Moreover, he harbored doubts about these Celestial Dragons.

Among the Celestial Dragons, a young man with a flushed face paced back and forth, his lips moving as if he wanted to speak but hesitated for a long time without uttering a single word.

Not only Sig, but the other Celestial Dragons also gradually noticed his abnormality.

"Saint Charmaco, what's wrong?"

"Wait...you wouldn't..." An older Celestial Dragon's expression changed, as if he had thought of something.

"It can't be that bad..."

The expressions of the many Celestial Dragons immediately changed.

But it was too late.

Charmaco's expression gradually hardened, and he said loudly:

"Wait, pirates!"

"Let's round it up again, there's actually a tenth treasure room! It's in the northeast corner of the sixth floor..."

"Ok?"

The older women and others who hadn't left yet were all taken aback.

At this moment, a quarrel broke out among the Celestial Dragons.

Several Celestial Dragons stepped forward, grabbing Charlmaco's collar with expressions of grief and indignation:

"Saint Charmaco, why are you doing something unnecessary!"

Charmaco finally spoke the words he had been holding back for so long, and his expression relaxed considerably. He then comforted Charmaco:

"Relax, money is just an external thing. For us Celestial Dragons, as long as we're alive, we have as much treasure as we want..."

"you..."

The other Celestial Dragons were at a loss for words, but the atmosphere was tense, so they started fighting right in front of Sigurd.

"Alright, alright, alright~ Captain Rocks, then I'll go to the tenth treasure room!"

After saying this, the last officer, Bigom, left.

In just a short time, only a few people, including Serente, remained in the hall beside Sieg.

The rest of the people, having been drawn to the Celestial Dragons' treasure room, left in various directions from the castle.

"I...."

Sig opened his mouth, looking somewhat helpless.

At a time like this, even if the real Rocks were here, he wouldn't be able to restrain the pirates who are drawn to the treasure.

As he was thinking this, he heard a soft "ding".

While Charmaco and the others were grappling, a small golden trinket fell to the ground and rolled to Sig's feet.

Chapter 773 The Protagonist Arrives Late

Sig bent down, picked up the little trinket that had rolled to his feet, and looked at it closely.

This is a gold badge, slightly larger than a button, with a gold-stamped design of a soaring dragon's hoof.

The entire badge looked gleaming gold, and Sieg weighed it in his hand, feeling that it wasn't something ordinary.

"What is this?" Sig asked, holding the badge in his hand.

"Ah...this is our Celestial Dragon's identification badge, just a symbol representing us!"

Immediately, a Celestial Dragon replied in this manner.

However, the Celestial Dragon's expression showed a hint of tension as he spoke.

"Heh." Sig sneered.

"Your acting is terrible."

As an award-winning actor, Siegfried is quite adept at managing his facial expressions.

But the Celestial Dragons are different. These Celestial Dragons probably never need to read between the lines in their lives. Although they are trying to hide their nervousness, their acting is very clumsy.

Sig picked up the pistol from his waist, pointed it directly at the Celestial Dragon who had just spoken, and pulled the trigger.

boom!

The bullet whistled past, piercing through the Celestial Dragon's bubble shield, grazing him as it flew by, and messing up the topknot on his head.

"Hoaaaaaah---"

The Celestial Dragon glared, kicked his legs, and fell backward, losing consciousness instantly.

"Doctor! Doctor!"

"Saint Charlos has collapsed! Quickly, call a doctor!"

The Celestial Dragons started making a ruckus again, which made Sieg's eyes twitch.

He only intended to intimidate the Celestial Dragon, but unexpectedly, the Celestial Dragon was so frightened that he fainted.

This scene reminded him of an old incident that happened many years later, as if it would happen again tomorrow.

"Do these Celestial Dragons have a hereditary heart condition?" Sig wondered to himself.

But on the surface, he remained calm and pointed the gun at another Celestial Dragon:

"Tell me, what is this thing?!"

Before Sigurd could finish his question, the Celestial Dragon had already answered swiftly:

"This is indeed our Celestial Dragon's identification badge, but inside the badge is an identification chip, unique to each Celestial Dragon. It's like a personal key bound to each Celestial Dragon..."

"The key?" Sieg asked again.

"So, can this key open your treasure rooms? Including the tenth treasure room I mentioned earlier?"

There are nine Celestial Dragons in front of us.

However, there are ten treasure rooms, which makes Sieg suspect that the tenth treasure room that Big Mom went to might have something special about it.

"Correct!"

“That’s right!” The Celestial Dragons nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Upon hearing this, Sieg weighed the gold badge in his hand and a thought began to form in his mind.

"Serent, keep an eye on these Celestial Dragons for me."

“I’ll go check out the tenth treasure vault too,” Sieg said.

Silent was slightly surprised, but then nodded in agreement.

"Leave it to me, Captain."
