Lords go left, Emperors go right

When the vine monster saw the prey coming, it immediately launched an attack. Under its control, countless man-eating vines turned into tentacles that could move freely in all directions, and flexibly surrounded this side, intending to entangle the prey, strangle it directly, absorb the blood and flesh and nutrients from the prey, and turn it into bones. Chris took a step forward, and silver sword energy appeared around her. Countless sword energy met the vines that rushed over. As soon as the two sides came into contact, the man-eating vines were beaten and completely abused. Many vines were easily cut by the silver sword energy here.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the vine monster turned around and tried to escape. This guy had intelligence and knew to run away if he couldn't win. However, Chris had been prepared for it and the follow-up attack came quickly, leaving the vine monster no chance to escape. As soon as the vine monster turned around, it was pierced from all directions and angles by more than a dozen silver sword qi that had changed into cone shapes, piercing through the entire vine ball on the spot, with an effect comparable to a thousand arrows piercing the heart.

After the vine monster stopped moving for a while, it let out a low, slightly weird scream, and then its true form was revealed. It was directly hit by Chris's ultra-long-range attack. The vine monster exploded on the spot, and the vines all over its body were scattered under the explosion, and dark green juice splashed everywhere. The juice of the vine monster is highly toxic, and it is difficult to deal with it if it is touched. Fortunately, Chris attacked from a long distance, and the vine monster's self-explosion did not cause any impact on the special team members on Osta's side.

After the vine monster was destroyed, the color of the man-eating vines dimmed a lot, from the vibrant emerald green to dark green, with an inexplicable sense of decadence. After the vine monster was destroyed, the man-eating vines here were affected, almost like being severely damaged. Their special state of decadence will last for a period of time, which is equivalent to being beaten to degeneration. At the place where the vine monster exploded, you can see bursts of black fog coming out. The black fog looks like a human shape, with several twisting black figures intertwined.

These black shadows were formed from the resentment absorbed from the victims when the vine monster devoured the living beings, similar to the devil soul. After the devil soul appeared, Sophia made a quick move, flicking her fingertips forward, and a small ball full of light popped out. This small ball of light concentrated a huge amount of light magic power, and after it was ejected, it hit the black fog and hit the heart of the black figure, and the sacred energy instantly spread to the surroundings.

Purified by the divine energy, the black figure immediately dissipated, and could no longer do evil. After the joint efforts of Chris and Sophia, the vine monster was completely destroyed and strangled in the bud. This guy is a growth type. If no one stops it, its growth potential is unlimited. Soon, a large area of ​​man-eating vines showed a clear trend of withering. The passage that was originally blocked by the man-eating vines was vacated as the man-eating vines withered and retreated to both sides. Aosta could pass through smoothly. This dangerous natural barrier and trap in the Castle of Kafra was successfully destroyed by the gentleman prince.

"Lord Osta, if you cut off a small section of the man-eating vine and plant it anywhere, it will grow. Would you like to consider transplanting it?"

"Yulia, forget about your suggestion. If we take something this dangerous out, it will most likely hurt someone."

"Lord Osta, the price of man-eating vines on the underground black market is very high. Sometimes they can still be used. Nothing is destined to be good or evil. It all depends on the choice of the user. Of course, you make the final decision. I am just giving a suggestion."

"Yulia, what you said seems to make some sense. Chris, Sophia, what do you two think?"

"Lord Osta, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I think if you give this thing to Salia to study, there may be unexpected gains."

"Lord Osta, the man-eating vines here need to be eradicated. It would be best to burn them after the operation is completed. I will be responsible for the purification of the resentment and hatred of the deceased that remain here. You can collect a small portion and hand it over to Sallya as a cultivation sample. She is a professional."

After consulting with Chris and the others, Osta finally decided to use humanitarian destruction to deal with the dangerous alien species, the man-eating vine, and to eradicate it at its roots. They destroyed it in advance before it spread beyond the Elytus Sea and landed on other continents, while the vine monsters were still active in the Three Dragons headquarters on the nameless island, inside the Castle of Kafra. After the vine monsters were destroyed, the remaining man-eating vines were nothing to worry about. After the relevant operations were completed, they could all be destroyed by a fire.

Osta did not kill them all. According to Chris's suggestion, he took some samples of the man-eating vines and planned to hand them over to the professional "Mechanical Angel" Salia to deal with them after he left. Through relevant research, he wanted to see if he could extract genes and cultivate genetically modified mutants. If the man-eating property is removed and the original vitality is retained, the man-eating vines can be transformed into valuable forage feed, from a green horror that makes people shudder, to an economic plant with extremely high economic value and cost-effective advantages.

After sampling the man-eating vine, Osta thought there would be no obstacles and he could go to find Urs, the chief of the Malessis pirates. However, in addition to the man-eating vine, there was actually another dangerous plant in the Castle of Kafra. The dangerous plant appeared behind the man-eating vine. After the man-eating vine withered and decayed, the remains of the victims could be seen on the ground, both human and animal. The destination of Osta's infiltration operation this time, outside the Moston Palace, there was a second line of defense composed of dangerous plants. Urs, the chief of the Malessis pirates, took great pains in defense and made double insurance arrangements.

Compared with the man-eating vine, the second dangerous plant looked less scary and even more beautiful. It was a beautiful sea of ​​flowers, with flowers blooming everywhere. The flowers looked similar to roses, but much larger than roses. The bright red color was a bit too much, as if it was dyed red with blood. Although the victim's body was not seen at the scene, Osta did not dare to take it lightly and was on high alert. The man-eating vine had left a deep impression on this gentleman prince, so he did not dare to underestimate the various strange plants he encountered in the Castle of Kafra.

Osta soon noticed something was wrong. There was no insect in the flowers. This was not normal. Such beautiful flowers could not attract even one insect. This was really puzzling. Chris, who was beside Osta, picked up a skull on the ground and threw it over. The skull fell into the flowers, making a sizzling sound. The skull dissolved directly, and not even the bone residue could be seen. The question of not seeing the victim's body was instantly solved. It turned out that all the bodies were destroyed by the flowers, and not even the bones were left. The danger level of the strange flowers surpassed that of the man-eating vine. The latter at least left the victim's bones, while the former was cruel and did not even leave the bones.

"Chris, where do these flowers come from?"

"Lord Osta, those should be the soul-eating flowers that are the companion plants of the man-eating vine. They are not dangerous, but the smell they emit is extremely toxic and can dissolve most living things."

"Lord Osta, this flower does not move on its own. It usually relies on the man-eating vine to share nutrients with it. The flowers themselves will not take the initiative to attack, and it is impossible for them to hunt everywhere."

"Lord Osta, after we purify the vine monsters just now, we only need to deal with the man-eating vines. These soul-eating flowers can be left alone. Although they are not afraid of fire and cannot be burned, without the accompanying man-eating vines to provide nutrients, they will soon wither and decay along with them."

"Lord Osta, if you plan to collect samples, this is much easier to use than the man-eating vine."

"I see, Chris. With your reminder, I know how to get through there later."

After understanding the situation, Osta breathed a sigh of relief. The Soul-Eating Flower does not have active attack attributes like the Man-Eating Vine. It relies on its own special poison to passively hunt. The prey will be safe if they take a detour. The Soul-Eating Grass itself has no feet and certainly will not walk to chase people. They are also not like the Man-Eating Vine that can devour life and living things and constantly mutate and evolve into movable vine monsters. Soul-Eating Grass is generally classified as a companion plant of the Man-Eating Vine, or it can be said to be parasitic. In the symbiotic state, most of the nutrients required are provided by the Man-Eating Vine. Soul-Eating Grass has no possibility of mutation and evolution for the time being.

The members of Osta's team quickly changed into special chemical protection suits, and were once again equipped with the protective suits specially customized by the mechanical angel Salia. This special protective equipment had withstood the severe test of radioactive pollution in the Sarrod Group's test area before, and was also immune to the highly toxic gas of the Soul Devouring Flower.

With the help of special protective clothing, Osta and his companions finally passed through this horrific sea of ​​flowers and arrived at the final destination of this trip, the gate of the Moston Palace where Urs, the chief of the Malesis pirates, was hiding.

Chapter 55: Change of Control over the Nameless Island (Part 2)

————This chapter (4K)————

The southern border of the Bloomfield area, the Florence Plain area and its coastal areas, the Elits Sea, an unnamed island in the area, the headquarters castle of the Three Dragons, an important base of the Malessis Pirate Group's activity area, the depths of the Moston Palace in the center of the Castle of Kafra. The lord Aosta who sneaked in here, this gentleman prince led the three special beings around Chris and the others to form a special operations team and launched a special combat operation. After passing through the double danger areas of the man-eating vines and the soul-eating flowers, Aosta finally came to the core of the Moston Palace, looking for Urs, the Malessis Pirate Steward who was hiding here and secretly commanding. As long as this mastermind behind the scenes is dealt with, the era of the Three Dragons can be declared over. He is the last senior manager of the illegal organization.

Urs did not arrange patrols in the Castle of Kafra, probably because he felt that no normal person could pass through the double barrier of the man-eating vines and the soul-eating flowers, so there was no need to arrange additional guards and patrols. This would avoid accidental injuries and unnecessary friendly fire. This guy usually gave orders through the magic crystal ball to convey instructions to the outside world. Urs had other ways to pass through the areas controlled by the two dangerous plants. People like Aosta who could pass through without injury were extremely rare exceptions, and it was almost impossible for them to appear under normal circumstances.

Osta was protected by a special protective suit and successfully entered the Mosston Palace. There were finally no dangerous plants that could get in the way, so he could take off his special protective suit. The gentleman prince looked around and soon saw Urs. There was only one gentleman present besides Osta, and he immediately confirmed the identity of the chief of the Malessis pirates, so there was no need to look for him again.

Urs was a burly man, looking strong and powerful, and he felt like a warrior. He was equipped with a dark black pirate uniform, which was very similar to the regular imperial uniforms of some countries. When Osta arrived, Urs was sitting on a soft black leather sofa, crossing his legs, with an expression of enjoyment, holding a wine glass in his hand, and the tall crystal wine glass was half filled with bright red wine. Urs had red hair and red eyes, and looked a bit ferocious. He was estimated to be about 180cm tall. This guy was much stronger than the average Maless pirate. He felt like a soldier who had been on a real battlefield, experienced the baptism of war, and survived the battlefield. Only this kind of aura could be possessed by a soldier.

The interior decoration layout of the Mosston Palace is exquisite, and the design style is luxurious. The gorgeous decorations everywhere reveal a strong sense of luxury that cannot be ignored. After hearing the sound outside the door, Urs looked up and saw Osta and his group breaking in. Urs' expression became very surprised. He didn't expect that someone could really break in here. When he reached out to press a switch device, Chris beside Osta decisively took action. The silver-haired beauty casually swung a silver sword and destroyed the opponent's alarm device.

After the communication device was destroyed, Urs's face suddenly changed. After realizing that the situation was not good, it was too late to take out his weapon. Osta had already walked close to him and took the lead in drawing his sword and pointing it at Urs. The pirate chief steward had an embarrassed expression on his face for a while, and his face was very ugly. The assassin could lurk so close, and the group of subordinates outside were simply useless, and they were not at all at the critical moment.

"You...who are you!"

"You don't need to know this. They are all dead anyway. It's meaningless whether you know it or not."

"If you have anything you want, we can talk about it. There's no need to fight to the death."

"No need, I'm here to take you on your way."

"Boy, looks like there's nothing to talk about?"

"Of course, but I can give you a fighting chance."

Osta stepped back like a gentleman and let Urs pick up his weapon. Urs quickly pulled out the pirate scimitar on the table. At this life-and-death moment, he didn't care about martial ethics. He pulled out the scimitar and chopped it horizontally at a tricky angle, slashing at Osta's neck. After all, this guy was born a pirate from Malessis, and he was a ruthless person. The gentleman prince did not dodge, but stood in place and took the opponent's slash. His personal strength was close to the level of a true god. Except for the three special beings who followed him, who Chris and the others could not compare with, other human masters were no longer a real threat in front of Osta.

Urs thought that the sneak attack was successful, but before he could be happy, he suddenly realized that the scimitar he swung out did not hit anyone, but hit the liquid. A human-shaped water element suddenly appeared, blocking between Osta and Urs, and helped to carry the knife in front of the gentleman prince. Osta had a contract with the false water god Stella, the water demon god, and had a deep bond with him. When necessary, he could borrow the other's divine power and special abilities. Things like coming out to help cover and act as a shield were easy to do.

Water elementals are immune to most physical attacks and are highly resistant to armed attacks. Urs's scimitar was like chopping into sticky jelly, stuck in it and unable to be pulled out. Weapon jams during combat can be fatal. Urs, who has been through hundreds of battles, certainly understands this. Just as he was about to give up his scimitar and switch to other weapons, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and found that his chest was pierced by the humanoid water elemental. Bright red blood gushed out. The opponent seemed to have done it on purpose and did not hit the heart. He could have aimed and hit it with the next move, but the humanoid water elemental obviously missed the target and attacked the position next to the heart, which was still a certain distance away from the heart.

Urs was severely injured and could no longer fight. He knelt on the ground, losing his fighting ability. This guy was born a soldier and was much stronger than ordinary people. If it were any other Malessis pirate, that move would have killed him directly. Urs fought as hard as he could, but the gap in strength was too big, and he was killed instantly by his opponent. His only counterattack, the horizontal chop, was done with all his strength, but it just didn't hit the opponent. Osta operated on two lines, remotely commanding the remote-controlled humanoid water element, launching attack magic skills such as water spears, and dealt a fatal blow to Urs at close range.

"Ahem, young man, you don't have martial ethics. We agreed to a duel..."

"Wu De, that kind of hypocritical stuff, do you pirates care about it? I only care about the result. The process is not important."

"Even without me, the Malessis Pirates still have others..."

"You are talking about Princess Mana and the others, right? They are my people now, you can go on your journey with peace of mind."

"When, you...you bastard..."

"Okay, goodbye... No, goodbye forever."

"Wait..."

Osta kicked Urs out of the door and he fell into the soul-eating flowers outside the Mosston Palace. The Malessis pirate chief fluttered in the flowers for a few times and then stopped moving, as if he had died from excessive blood loss. Urs seemed to be carrying some defensive artifact, and his body was not dissolved by the poison in the flowers. He suddenly revived in the flowers and stood up quickly. The wounds that were penetrated by the magic of the humanoid water element warrior recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Urs showed a cunning smile on his face, and was about to run away when Osta was not paying attention. At this time, Yuliya, the stunning beauty with black hair and black eyes, smiled evilly, like a little devil, and stretched out her hand to grab the void. When Urs saw the witch-like evil smile on Yuliya's face, he suddenly had a premonition that something was wrong. His face froze, and he found that the special protective necklace he was wearing was gone, and appeared in Yuliya's hands. She took it away with a similar technique of telekinesis, snatching the protective magic weapon in front of him.

Urs soon stopped laughing. After losing his special protective gear, his whole body turned into water, dissolving and evaporating quickly. The villain completely melted and opened his mouth to say something before he died, but he didn't shout out in the end. He quickly turned into corpse water and could no longer be distinguished. He could not be seen as a human. He disappeared into the flowers like the previous victims. Osta was watching from the side and felt an inexplicable chill. He shivered several times. Yulia was definitely doing it on purpose. She was very evil. It was not until Yulia handed the seized necklace to Osta that the gentleman prince came back to his senses.

Osta carefully examined the necklace in his hand, but could not see anything special about it. It was just an ordinary silver necklace, with a flat rectangular wooden sign in the middle. There were no words or symbols on it, and it looked ordinary. Osta inspected it for a while, but still did not understand the principle. At this time, Sophia took the necklace, checked it a little, and her expression changed, as if she had seen the origin of the necklace.

"Sophia, this necklace looks ordinary to me. Can it really protect against poison?"

"Lord Aosta, this necklace is indeed ordinary, it is just made of silver. However, the pendant on it is not an ordinary item, it is a sacred tree, it may be a national treasure lost by a country in the Western Continent."

"Sogya, such a small piece of wood has such a strong protective power. This is the first time I have discovered it."

"Lord Osta, if you take it back and ask, maybe you can find the real owner."

"That's really troublesome, Chris. Let's just take it back! Maybe the owner will come to us on his own initiative, and I can just make a lost and found notice."

"Lord Osta, it has been confirmed that there are no other enemies here. The target has been cleared."

Osta couldn't figure out the origin of the sacred wood necklace for a while, so he put it aside for the time being and put it in the space storage ring. He would make further plans after bringing it back to his territory, Bloomfield. After Urs was eliminated, the last obstacle for Osta to secretly control the Three Dragons was removed. As for Urs' origin and the secrets on him, he needed to investigate the sacred wood necklace to find out.

The function of the sacred wood necklace is to be immune to the effects of poisons and withstand the invasion of various poisons. It is a magic weapon to prevent being poisoned. Of course, this protective magic weapon cannot really save lives. It is only effective against poisons. If the wearer is assassinated by other forces, he will eventually die.

In the Mosston Palace, Osta found a lot of useful things, such as seeds of man-eating vines and a nautical chart drawn by the Malessis pirates, which detailed the sea conditions of the surrounding waters. Apart from that, there was nothing else that could interest the gentleman prince. The secret base of Urs was mainly used to store special items and command, and no maids were arranged or placed there. Osta was barely satisfied with this harvest. If he could take a few more maids, it would be perfect.

Members of the Malessis Pirate Group, some of the conversations between those guys were rumors, and the rumor that Urs liked beautiful women was not credible. The rainstorm on the nameless island continued. Taking advantage of the rainstorm, Osta returned to the exclusive transport ship. The ship quickly raised anchor and left the port overnight, leaving the Elitus Sea. With the temporary resolution of the Three Dragons Society issue, the southern border of the Bloomfield area of ​​the Osta territory also ushered in peace, as peaceful as the northern border. Osta also had to deal with the issues of the eastern and western borders to completely stabilize the four borders of the territory.

After Urs was killed, the Three Dragons Society was completely leaderless. The remaining senior managers accepted the recruitment of the Gentleman Prince and joined the Four Dragons, a new organization secretly supported by Osta. In the following weeks, the Four Dragons rose up in an all-round way, forcefully annexing the territory of the Three Dragons Society and seizing the sea areas and spheres of influence controlled by the other party. This battle for supremacy lasted for about a week, and the outcome was clear. The Three Dragons Society was completely defeated and completely withdrew from the stage of history. The things about them, the former glory, became rumors in the Elytus Sea. The Four Dragons took over and began the era of the organization and a new legend.

Osta was looking at the man-eating vine sample in the empty bottle in his hand, thinking about how to cash in the man-eating vine in exchange for huge profits. At this time, Chris came in from outside the door. This stunning beauty with silver hair and silver eyes walked quickly to Osta's ear, lowered her head, and whispered in the gentleman prince's ear, deliberately lowering her voice, and whispered to the other party the latest intelligence and contact information from the territory of Bloomfield.

"What? Your Majesty... Father wants to see me, Chris, at this time?"

"Well, Lord Osta, I just received information that the meeting place is set at..."

"The meeting place is interesting, but the timing is interesting... Chris, you see..."

"Lord Osta, you don't have to worry. The other princes have been invited, and the queen will also attend."

"If the Queen Mother is coming, then I will go! As long as she is there, it won't be a problem. Chris, I'm sorry to bother you again this time."

"Lord Osta, don't worry. No matter what happens, I, like Sophia and Yulia, will always stand by your side. This will not change."

Chapter 57: Secret Talks at the Manor and Legends of the Secret Treasure (Part 2)

————This chapter (6K)————

In the central area of ​​Mesfeltah Continent (Western Continent of the Human Race), within the borders of the Obelisk Empire, there is the ancient city of Meskhetim. In the Mester Manor in this thousand-year-old holy city, the lord of Meskhetim City, Lord Messter XVIII, cordially invited Osta to be his guest. Taking advantage of the other party's visit, he handed something to the gentleman prince and asked him to take a look. Osta gladly accepted it and did not refuse. After all, this trip was free of charge, with free food and drinks. As long as it was not a conspiracy to start a rebellion, other matters were negotiable for Osta. He himself has always had a flexible moral bottom line.

The old parchment map in Osta's hand was an ancient treasure map. When the Meskhetiman Empire rose, the founding emperor Meskron I had foresight and felt that if the empire wanted to persist for a long time, it needed to make various preparations in advance to be prepared in all aspects, so as to avoid any major crisis in the future. When it was a matter of life and death, there was no way to turn the tables. This treasure map actually recorded the location of the royal cemetery of the Meskhetiman Empire.

In the early days of the Meskhetiman Empire, when it was strong, the first emperor, Mesklen I, secretly hid a large number of treasures in the imperial mausoleum in the name of building an imperial mausoleum for himself, so that if the empire was in trouble in the future, the royal family could take them out and use them as the key to a comeback in the future. Mesklen I chose the central continent to prevent tomb robbers from thinking about it. At that time, the central continent had not yet been developed and was an unexplored mysterious area. Mesklen I took great pains to choose the treasure place there. Without strong national strength, it would be impossible to support such a costly decision.

After Mesklen I passed away, six emperors of the Mesklen Empire, starting with him and ending with Emperor Mesklen VI, traveled thousands of miles to follow the ancestral teachings and continued to transfer massive amounts of wealth in the name of building imperial tombs for individuals. By the time of Emperor Mesklen VII, the Mesklen Empire was in overall decline, and the country's power began to go downhill. The national strength showed obvious signs of decline, and it was no longer possible to continue to support such expensive overseas transportation activities. It could only change its basic national policy and choose the imperial tomb here in the Western Continent. The overseas treasure hiding operation came to an end and came to a temporary end.

Later, when the Meskhetiman Empire fell, the last emperor Mesklen XIV wanted to send people to retrieve the treasures and turn the tables. Unfortunately, at that time, all the ships of the entire Meskhetiman Empire were requisitioned when the previous emperor Mesklen XIII sent troops to the southern continent of the human race. The fleet encountered a super sea storm, and Mesklen XIII was buried in the sea with the fleet. This unexpected shipwreck directly led to the fact that by the time of Mesklen XIV, the whole country could hardly gather a decent large ship. Mesklen XIV could only look at the ocean and sigh, facing the gradually approaching rebels, and had no time to consider this matter.

After the fall of the Meskhetiman Empire, with the fall of the capital of the empire, the imperial mausoleum of the empire was devastated. The nine kings' coalition searched the imperial palace and pried open the treasury in an attempt to plunder wealth. However, after years of war, the finances of the Meskhetiman Empire had long been in deficit, and the deficit was serious. The treasury, silver treasury and granary of the imperial capital were all empty, with nothing left. The nine kings' coalition saw that they could not get any money, and the entire imperial city could not be plundered for less than half a bag of copper coins. In anger, after looting the palace, they set fire to the entire imperial palace, and while setting the palace on fire, they also burned down the city.

"Mister Meister, this treasure map should be the secret of your country. It is not appropriate for me to review it."

"Your Highness Aosta, it has been so many years. Even if it is a confidential document, it has exceeded the decryption time. There is no need to be so particular."

"Mister, I only saw a few words about what happened back then in the relevant historical documents. There are very few mentions."

"Your Highness Osta, I have already let go of the past. It is time to look forward."

"Mr. Meister, it seems that you have really let go of your obsession with restoring your country."

"Your Highness Aosta, rather than letting go, I have seen through it. Royal power is not eternal, and overlords cannot always dominate. If you take a step back, the world will be brighter."

"Mister, if the emperor of your country had this awareness, perhaps the country would not have been completely destroyed."

"Your Highness Aosta, as a descendant, I cannot make random comments on the merits and demerits of our predecessors. I will not comment on that aspect."

Legend has it that out of venting their anger, the Nine Kings Coalition targeted the Meskhetiman Empire's imperial tombs, disregarding any morality, and used brute force to dig up the Meskhetiman Empire's imperial tombs and openly robbed tombs. All the tombs of the Meskhetiman Empire emperors left on the Western Continent were murdered. The Nine Kings Coalition broke into the underground palace to rob treasures. The corpses of emperors of all dynasties were dragged out of the coffins by the coalition soldiers and thrown aside at will, and the treasures in the coffins were stolen. The anti-tomb-robbing mechanism originally set up in the imperial tombs could not stop such a large-scale official public tomb-robbing operation. Many craftsmen who participated in the construction of the imperial tombs at that time escaped the crisis of being killed. After they were found by the Nine Kings Coalition, these craftsmen could not withstand the temptation and agreed to help rob tombs under coercion and inducement, which indirectly accelerated the destruction of the Meskhetiman Empire's imperial tombs.

This dark history is quite shameful. The nine empires of the Western Continent all agreed to speak in unison afterwards and never mentioned the matter. In the relevant historical documents and annals, the historians were not allowed to record in detail. At most, they were allowed to write one or two sentences and keep it brief. In most of the classical documents collected by the royal families of various countries, it is recorded that after the fall of the Meskhetiman Empire, the imperial capital of the empire, the imperial palace and the city were burned down by fire. The main responsibility for the arson was also put on the head of Mesklen XIV, the last emperor of the Meskhetiman Empire, insisting that it was the emperor himself who could not afford to lose. After he set fire to the palace, the fire could not be controlled and finally spread throughout the city. The nine kings' coalition was finally responsible for putting out the fire and evacuating the people, which was a completely positive image.

Some conscientious and upright historians in various countries risked their lives to record relevant historical facts, passed them out in the form of manuscripts, and handed them over to folk scholars to sort out and pass them down as unofficial history. This dark history that was almost erased and hidden has been passed down to this day. Unofficial history does not guarantee authenticity. The royal nobles of various countries can only turn a blind eye after knowing it. No one dares to take the lead in banning this part of unofficial history, which will give people a guilty conscience and is equivalent to confessing. For the sake of the image of the empire, they acquiesce in the existence of this part of unofficial history. As long as it is not recorded by official historians, unofficial history itself is mixed with truth and falsehood, with a lot of fabrication and exaggeration of facts, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false. Leaving unofficial history can actually have a miraculous effect of disturbing the audience.

Osta had read relevant records in the palace of Onisret, the capital of the Obelisk Empire. At that time, he regarded it as a wild history and a pastime. According to the records, the final end of the imperial mausoleum of the Meskhetiman Empire was quite tragic. Except for the last emperor Mesklen XIV who committed suicide and did not have time to build an imperial mausoleum, the mausoleums of other emperors were all dug up and the coffins were pried open. Starting from Mesklen VII, the mausoleums of seven emperors were robbed. The historians called this terrible incident "the sacrifice of the seven mausoleums". Even Mesklen XIII, who was buried in the sea and his body was not found, his clothes and hat tomb could not escape the attention of the nine kings' coalition and was tragically robbed.

Today, there is no trace of the Meskhetiman Empire's imperial mausoleum. Only the mausoleum on the Central Continent has been preserved. After the empire fell, the newly born nine empires were busy fighting for hegemony, and no one cared about the treasures far away overseas. It was more than two hundred years later when the nine empires initially determined their respective territories and spheres of influence and signed a Hundred Years of Peace Treaty. After such a long time, the matter of overseas treasures was shelved. Over time, many members of the royal family and rulers of the empire even doubted whether the treasure really existed, and thought that this matter was probably just a lie of the royal family of the Meskhetiman Empire, so the treasure hunt was left unfinished. Today, only the descendants of the royal family of the Meskhetiman Empire believe that the treasure is real and still firmly believe in the arrangements of their ancestors.

"Mr. Meister, do you want me to help you dig out this treasure?"

"Yes, Your Highness Osta, the treasure is in your territory, the Bloomfield area. As the lord, I ask you to do these things in secret. We cannot leave Meskhetim City at will, and it is not convenient for too many people outside to know about the treasure hunt."

"Mr. Meister, this is the imperial mausoleum of your ancestors. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to provide a map and ask outsiders to dig up your ancestors' tombs?"

"Your Highness Aosta, more than a thousand years have passed. It would be a waste to keep the treasure buried underground. Wouldn't it be better if they see the light of day as soon as possible so that they can play their due value? This treasure map is useless in my hands. It will be of the greatest use if I give it to you."

"Mister Meister, since your descendant has no objection, I can accept this commission. As for the reward, how do you plan to pay me so that I can dig out this batch of treasure and bring it back to you?"

"No need, Your Highness Osta. You have seen that the city of Meskhetim does not even have its own army. I am not capable of protecting the treasures of my ancestors. It is far beyond my ability to bear."

"This problem is indeed...Mr. Meister, you have thought of other ways to deal with it."

"Of course I have thought about it. I heard that His Highness Aosta has a close relationship with the Blom Treasury in your territory. When the time comes, I want to directly deposit the excavated treasure in the Blom Treasury. I will secretly deposit it in your treasure house under a different name, and no one will know except you and me."

After listening to the advice of Mestel XVIII and looking at the parchment scroll in front of him, Osta was a little amused. If the emperors of the Meskhetiman Empire knew that their "filial" descendants had taken the initiative to ask people to dig up their ancestral graves, I wonder if they would be so angry that they would open the coffin and come to teach this "filial son" a lesson overnight. That decision was indeed unfilial, helping outsiders dig up the graves of their ancestors. However, after all, more than a thousand years have passed, and filial piety is bound to deteriorate and change, and it is not eternal.

Meister XVIII is a wise fool. This old man is very shrewd. Aosta is in full swing in the development of his personal territory, the Blomfield area. It is only a matter of time before he discovers the imperial tomb of the Meskhetiman Empire. This gentleman prince is not a gentleman. It would be strange if he didn't rob the tomb, and he did it secretly. Instead of waiting for the other party to discover it and secretly rob it, it is better to take the initiative to propose and request joint development before the imperial tomb is discovered. This can avoid losses to the greatest extent. In the Blom vault, at least the original owner has a name. If it is stolen by Aosta, Meister XVIII will not be able to get anything back.

The boss behind the Brom Vault and the biggest financial backer is Aosta. Meister XVIII guessed that the existence of the treasure there is also a disguised political investment. There are many direct members of the royal family of the Obelisk Empire, among the nine imperial princes, who are suitable for helping to hide the treasure. Among these imperial princes, Aosta is the safest. The third prince has the support of the imperial queen Margaret III. He has a huge political power. Other forces dare not take the initiative to provoke him and do not have the courage to take the treasure from Aosta. It is not certain if it is another prince. Meister XVIII considered comprehensively and thought that it was more reliable to choose Aosta to help with the custody. At least the other party can guarantee the basic safety of the treasure.

Osta quickly agreed to the proposal of Meistel XVIII. If the future generations agree, it will be a secret archaeological work, not tomb robbery. From the map, the imperial tomb of the Meskhtiman Empire is located in the eastern border of the Blomfield Territory, which happens to be the residence of the Nolanthians, the demon fox tribe. Osta originally had a plan to recruit this primitive tribe clan, which was already on the agenda. He just happened to go there to deal with tomb robbery... No, to deal with archaeological matters. After depositing the treasure in the Blom vault, Osta only needs to pay Brown coins as interest and give it to Meistel XVIII. This is a real cash-in business, a bloody profit.
