Chapter 537: The Humorous Sister's Wipeout of Ziran
Chapter 537: The Humorous Sister's Wipeout of Ziran
The Sinful Blade Similis held by Herklon and his group had a mind-control effect.
However, due to the mediocre level of the weapon itself, Yecheng estimated that the so-called "mind control" would likely be limited to around level 35 at most.
At this level, mind control was, in the eyes of Yecheng and Squirrel, nothing more than trash.
Nevertheless, for the Four Schemers, this Sinful Blade Similis was undoubtedly invaluable.
Don't forget, level 35 is the so-called "Hero" realm, and how many humans in this world have reached that level? Whether in kingdoms or empires, warriors or spell singers, those who have attained the Hero realm are undoubtedly among the world's strongest.
The mind control of this sinful blade was not permanent, but its brief control during battles was astonishingly effective.
"No wonder it's one of the Black Knight's Four Darkblades, if this sword were sold on the black market, it would fetch an astronomical price, right?"
"Aren't you keeping it for yourself, Herklon? Such a sword, a national treasure, is it not a prized possession for warriors like you?"
Upon hearing Herklon's intention to sell the sword, Alshe and the others also showed puzzled expressions.
Herklon explained, "We obtained this sword through our collective efforts. It's too precious, and if I were to keep it for myself, it would be a bit..."
While the Four Schemers were still discussing the ownership of the dark blade, Yecheng and Squirrel, who happened to overhear the conversation, couldn't help but look on with disbelief.
No way, this broken sword is considered a national treasure? It's just a level 35 sword, what's there to fight over?
During this expedition, aside from the Black Knight's sword, Yecheng and Squirrel had also discovered a journal belonging to the Black Knight.
The journal recorded some of the Black Knight's adventures within the Thirteen Knights, frequently mentioning a leader named Rick.
Whether the Black Knight was one of the players from YGGDRASIL was still uncertain, but the journal indeed provided valuable information.
For instance, among the Thirteen Heroes, there was even a "Silver Knight" whose strength might surpass that of the leader, Rick.
Another example was the "Divine Dragon" named "Rotting Coffin Dragon King," who was the final target of the Thirteen Heroes' quest.
Through this information, Yecheng and Squirrel understood that while humans in this world were generally weak, powerful individuals did exist.
At least, in the eyes of Yecheng and Squirrel, the "Silver Knight" and the "Divine Dragon" mentioned in the Black Knight's journal were characters close to max level, if not max level.
The three dark blades found in the ruins were each taken by Yecheng, Squirrel, and one of the Four Schemers.
As for the remaining treasures, they were evenly divided between Yecheng and the Four Schemers. Squirrel, having stated his intention beforehand, only took the Black Knight's journal.
In summary, this expedition was a success for everyone involved. Although the Black Knight's treasures were not abundant, when divided among Yecheng and the Four Schemers, each person received over 500 gold coins.
Don't underestimate the value of 500 gold coins; it's a substantial sum.
Alys' family, after losing their noble status, had to shoulder a debt of only 300 gold coins.
500 gold coins in the Bahar Empire were even comparable to the entire wealth of some small families, so this expedition was indeed a lucrative one for the Four Schemers.
As for the Sinful Blade Similis obtained by the Four Sages in the ruins, they ultimately decided against selling it.
They felt it would be a waste to sell such a powerful weapon.
So, for now, Sir Herklon is using the Sinful Blade Similis to boost their team's combat strength, ensuring they can better complete future missions.
When the Yecheng group left the ruins, an unexpected event occurred at the cemetery.
Upon learning of Kagit's failed plan and his demise, Ziran's people had initially planned to retrieve his body for resurrection.
However, when they went to collect Kagit's body, they unexpectedly encountered Clementine.
Seeing Clementine, Ziran's people had intended to take her back for questioning, as she was one of their own.
They were suspicious because Kagit had died, yet Clementine seemed completely unharmed, which raised their doubts.
Ziran's organization, primarily composed of spellcasters, had always been averse to outsiders like Clementine, a warrior from the opposing Sliana Theocracy.
It was only due to the leader's orders that they reluctantly accepted Clementine, an outsider to their beliefs.
With Kagit's death and Clementine's survival, Ziran's people grew even more suspicious, believing Clementine was somehow involved.
After all, this wasn't the kingdom's capital; it was just a remote town in the northwest. Kagita, who could control the Bone Dragon, was a formidable opponent, even against the Kingdom's Marshal. How could he have fallen so easily?
In response to Ziran's interrogation, Clementine offered no defense but instead brandished her new weapon, a small dagger, and licked its blade, saying, "The great lord has forbidden the senseless slaughter of the innocent, but Ziran's disciples are filled with evil deeds, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?
Ziran's twelve disciples, perfect for testing my new weapon. I hope you'll let me have some fun."
Soon, from the depths of the cemetery, came a series of agonizing screams that chilled the adventurers sent by the Adventurer Guild to investigate.
When they finally mustered the courage to venture into the withered forest, they found corpses strewn everywhere.
It was clear that Ziran's disciples, who had come to retrieve Kagit's body, had become corpses themselves.
After this encounter, Clementine changed course, heading towards the Sliana Theocracy. Along the way, she repeatedly admired the dagger in her hand, obviously enamored with it.
Among Ziran's disciples, there were many with abilities on par with hers.
In the past, she wouldn't have dared to confront them, let alone defeat them without a scratch.
But now, with the divine artifact bestowed by the God of Light, she had effortlessly eliminated them, and Clementine even felt her strength had grown after defeating them!
Clementine attributed this to the power of the god and her faith, intensifying her fervor and worship for Yecheng.
