Chapter 533: The Eastern Duo Joins the Fray
Chapter 533: The Eastern Duo Joins the Fray
The 'Sage's Crown' she had stolen earlier was the treasure of the Wind Codex, one of the Six Codexes.
In the past, Clementine had always believed that the 'Sage's Crown' was an incredibly valuable magic item.
But now, compared to the items Night City had left for her, Clementine suddenly felt that those were mere trinkets.
It's worth noting that Clementine wasn't just an ordinary adventurer; she was a warrior who had reached the Hero Realm among humans, and her family was exceptionally prominent in the Sliana Theocracy. Naturally, her vision and standards were exceptionally high.
Even so, when Clementine saw the small items Night City had left for her, she was utterly dumbfounded.
Among the items were a red potion that could instantly heal wounds and a mana potion for replenishment, which was understandable. But there was also a resurrection item!
This resurrection item could be used not just once but three times, and it was the kind that didn't require any death penalty.
In terms of equipment, there was a dagger, and when Clementine saw its absurd attributes and abilities, she instantly felt that the magical weapon she had, a spear, was nothing but trash in comparison.
Even more astonishing was that there was a Magic Crystal in the item bag that could summon the highest-tier Inferno Archangel.
Clementine had seen the highest-grade Magic Crystal for summoning Angels in the church, and it could only summon the Watchful Angel, which could use Tier 7 Magic.
But this Inferno Archangel could use Tier 10 Magic, a terrifying existence that was practically Cammy herself! (Around level 75)
At this moment, Clementine was both excited and touched. She never expected the Light God to value her so highly, bestowing upon her such powerful items.
However, what she didn't know was that these items and potions, which she considered treasures, were just junk in Night City's eyes.
The Magic Crystal for summoning the Inferno Archangel wasn't that impressive, but a level 75 High-Grade Angel was, to be honest, just a bit of a hassle for Night City and Flying Squirrel, who were max-level powerhouses.
Watching the Bone Dragon being destroyed in the distance amidst the wails, Clementine naturally realized that Kagit had been defeated.
But she didn't find this strange; after all, their opponent was such a monster. Ziran was an expert in Necromancy, but compared to the true Death Ruler, he was seeking his own demise.
As Ziran's companion, would Clementine go to save Kagit?
The answer was naturally no! She was joking; Clementine was now highly regarded by the Light God, and her prestige and status were on a completely different level than before.
Forget about Ziran; even if the Sliana Theocracy's strongest force, the Black Codex, appeared before her, what could they do to her?
The items the Light God had left for her should be used in more meaningful ways; how could she waste them on trash like Kagit?
As for the other side, when Night City, disguised as the Light God, had finished convincing Clementine and returned to this side to gather with the Four Sages, Kagit and his two toy dragons had already been dealt with by the group.
However, when Night City hurried back, the situation on this side was a bit awkward.
The members of the Four Sages were currently facing off against two adventurers, a man and a woman. The male adventurer wore black full-body armor and wielded two large swords, clearly a formidable opponent.
The female adventurer had orange-colored long hair, wore a scarf and an eye patch, and had an expressionless face, a true beauty.
Despite the young-looking woman before them, the Four Schemers did not dare underestimate her in the slightest. When they arrived, they witnessed this female adventurer, single-handedly holding her own against a Bone Dragon and a spell singer, trading blows with ease!
It was clear that the man and woman before them, both wearing low-grade Bronze Badges, were not to be taken lightly. The Four Schemers approached the situation with utmost caution, as if facing formidable foes.
Earlier, they had worked together to defeat the Bone Dragon and the evil spell singer, but that was because they were clearly the antagonists.
Now that the battle was over, the Four Schemers realized the situation was much more delicate. They were in the kingdom's territory, and the man and woman were also kingdom adventurers. As imperial workers, their presence here was questionable, especially since they were exploring the kingdom's ruins. No matter how they looked at it, they were at a disadvantage.
Hecklang had intended to explore the area discreetly, but who could have predicted the appearance of so many undead and encountering kingdom adventurers in the cemetery?
Encountering adventurers was one thing, but if they were ordinary characters, they could have easily knocked them out and continued their mission.
The real problem was that the adventurer duo before them was clearly not to be trifled with.
"Sir Hecklang, there's no need to be overly anxious. This is Lady Momo, known as 'Black,' and I've already negotiated with her over there.
They are here solely because they accepted a quest to rescue a kidnapped hostage.
After learning that our purpose is to explore the ruins and not to gather intelligence on the kingdom, they also expressed interest in the 'Thirteen Heroes' ruins.
She promised that if we allow her to join us, she will keep our mission a secret from the Adventurer's Guild."
As Yecheng finished speaking, Feishu spoke up at the right moment, "Regarding your intentions, I've already heard about them from Sir Yecheng.
I've grown up listening to the tales of the 'Thirteen Heroes,' and I've always admired the 'Black Knight' among them. My attire is even inspired by them.
For this exploration, I have no intention of competing for gains. I merely wish to participate and witness a piece of history. What do you think?"
Upon hearing Feishu's explanation, Yecheng couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
This guy was a master of lies, and according to Yecheng's knowledge, his understanding of the 'Thirteen Heroes' was practically non-existent until yesterday!
Hecklang, who had been hesitant, listened to Feishu's words and, after a moment's hesitation, eventually agreed.
They had no choice; even if the adventurers demanded a significant share of the ruins' profits, Hecklang and his team might have to grit their teeth and accept the loss.
If the adventurers reported their activities to the kingdom's Adventurer's Guild, not only would they have to flee, but they might also face repercussions back in the empire.
After investing so much time and effort, returning empty-handed and possibly losing their standing in the empire was a loss they couldn't afford.
