Chapter 498: The Wisdom of the Little People

At this moment, in a dark basement near the elf and the kitten, the blue-robed figure who had disappeared before was sitting face to face with two other figures dressed differently.

If there were outsiders present, they would find that the aura of the three people was all level six!

A rough black iron oil lamp was placed on a small round table in front of them. Under the dim light of the oil lamp, an ancient sheepskin map was spread out, and another open wooden box was placed in a corner of the map.

"Is this it? The key that can reveal the location of the Sword of the Chosen King in legend?"

He stared at the seemingly ordinary charred black stone in the open wooden box in front of him with wide eyes. A red-haired strong man in mercenary armor opposite him pinched it with his thick fingers and asked with a doubtful tone.

"And I can't feel any magic fluctuations. Do I need to drip blood to recognize the master first, or do I need to crush it and sprinkle it on the map?"

Another elf youth dressed as a traveler, with green hair and purple eyes, took the stone from his companion, looked at it lazily, and then threw it back into the box, guessing casually.

"Because it's not for you to use like that! And dripping blood to recognize the master, have you read too many biographies of those federal heroes?"

Looking at his two companions with a rustic tone, the blue-robed figure's tone was a little helpless.

"This is not a legacy left by someone else, so how could there be any treasure map and secret key?

It comes from the core area of ​​the secret laboratory and is the melted remnant of some special device. With it and the map in our hands as a medium, we can use special tracking magic to determine the possible location of the Sword of the King.

Even if we can't directly determine the whereabouts of the Sword of the King, at least we can find the other secret laboratories of the strong man who took the Sword of the King thousands of years ago."

"So that's how it is--"

The two nodded in sudden enlightenment, with a look on their faces as if they really understood.

"Then let's get started as soon as possible, it's up to you, Auburn!"

"..."

The blue-robed wizard called Auburn sighed and resigned himself to setting up a simple ritual array, preparing to quickly get the exact location to avoid more trouble.

The source of the information for the few people was a lucky expedition team with an average strength of about level four.

When they were exploring in the wild, they accidentally entered a crack and found traces of a hidden abandoned laboratory deep underground.

The reason why they could find this place was because the owner of the laboratory seemed to have encountered some accidents, which caused serious damage to the entire secret laboratory.

The gap they entered before was actually caused by the aftermath of the laboratory disaster.

With a secret room at the core of the ruins as the core, the ruined and molten debris can be seen everywhere, and there are traces of terrifying magic everywhere.

Moreover, the owner of the laboratory seemed to have left in a hurry. Except for the area damaged by the powerful magic, other areas including experimental records and various materials were almost completely intact.

So, several special test analysis reports and the famous and somewhat mysterious term "Sword of the King's Choice" were exposed to everyone's eyes.

When seeing these documents with information related to the Sword of the King's Choice, the captain of the expedition team understood that they seemed to have discovered something incredible.

This relic is likely to be left by the mysterious ninth level who robbed the "Sword of the King's Choice"!

Everyone boldly searched the entire ruins and got a lot of things.

But it seems that due to the uneven distribution of the profits or some other reasons, when they came back, the whole team fell apart, and the news was leaked to a small extent.

"... But, is it really okay for us to look for the [Sword of the Chosen King]?"

At this time, watching the movements of the blue-robed figure, the mercenary man scratched his head and suddenly spoke hesitantly.

"More and more people have been eyeing us recently, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger. It is too dangerous to continue to hold them. Perhaps it would be a better choice to sell them at a high price."

Hearing his words, the other two looked at him in surprise.

"That's the Sword of the Chosen King! The sword that cut down the stars in Gloria folklore! Kidd, you are also an imperial, aren't you interested in it at all?"

The green-haired elf straightened up and spoke with great interest,

"... In fact, of course I am tempted, even if I can only take a look from a distance."

The mercenary sighed, and his thick fingers twisted the smooth edge of the wooden table, as if stroking the hilt of the sword in his fantasy.

"But, our strength is not enough to interfere with treasures of this level. Rather than being robbed and killed halfway, it might be more appropriate for us to take action now."

"That's not what you would say, Kidd."

Taking a glance at the red-haired sturdy man, the blue-robed wizard continued to arrange his magic circle. At present, the general outline has taken shape, and only the detailed inscriptions are left to be filled.

"Coincidentally, if you think so, then we don't have to bother to convince you."

"Convince me? So you think so too? Hahaha, that's just right."

The sturdy man laughed loudly after touching his head as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Only accurate information can be sold at the highest value. We really can't keep a treasure like the Sword of the Chosen King, but at least we need to confirm its true whereabouts."

The elf also changed his previous lazy sitting posture and began to explain carefully.

"In addition, we need to find a good buyer. This buyer must have a need for the Sword of the King's Choice and will not attack us immediately after the transaction is completed. Of course, the most important thing is that the other party must have money."

"What about those wealthy business leaders? It is said that some of them will spend a lot of money to collect various extremely rare things."

The mercenary strongman Kidd thought about it and put forward his own opinion.

"No, for the information about the Sword of the King's Choice, we may have a few better buyers now."

The elf smiled mysteriously and raised a finger.

"For example, one of the four major families in the empire!"

"Are you crazy, Ali? How could they agree to trade with us with their status? What if they directly capture us and search our souls?"

Chid was shocked, but he was afraid of affecting Auburn's arrangement ceremony, so he had to forcefully lower his voice and speak.

"Of course, some special insurance measures are needed, but as long as they are arranged, the money we can get will be much more than selling it to those collectors.

You don't understand, Kidd, the Sword of the Chosen King has a very special meaning to them. As long as our asking price is not too exaggerated, the other party has no need to take the risk to directly attack us.

For the power of the four major families, if the problem can be solved with money... Wait, the early warning magic I set up outside shows that someone is approaching here."

As he said, the elf suddenly looked condensed.

"Two fourth-level, an elf mage, and an orc assassin. Their direction is very clear, and this place may have been exposed."
