Chapter 166: Golden Scroll

Old Xie’s feasting lasted for several hours. Just when it was about to end, the family’s Chief Steward suddenly appeared and whispered in Old Xie’s ear: “Young Master, the Master asked me to discuss a matter with you!”

“What is it?” Old Xie immediately asked in confusion. He thought to himself, what matter couldn’t be said back home, why come all the way here specifically?

“It’s like this!” The Chief Steward said carefully: “You know, the Duke’s Mansion is small and really can’t accommodate your 300 people for a long time. So the Master asked me to tell you that he got a large residence for you in the commercial district, enough to house these 300 people!”

“Haha!” Old Xie understood immediately after hearing this. He couldn’t help but laugh and said: “Don’t say it so nicely. What do you mean it can’t fit? I’m afraid you are worried that these boys will mess around in the Noble District, right?”

“Hehe, please understand!” The Chief Steward saw that Old Xie had seen through it, so he didn’t argue, just smiled bitterly and said: “Actually, our family doesn’t mind, but after you took them out today, you scared the other families. They all came to protest to the Master. The Master is also in a difficult position. After all, we still have to mingle in the Imperial Capital, so we can’t offend so many nobles at once!”

“Alright, alright, I know!” Old Xie then waved his hand and said: “As long as the place you found is good, I won’t fuss about it. Actually, staying in the Duke’s Mansion isn’t that interesting anyway!”

“You can rest assured, it is definitely a good place. It was an estate acquired by a noble in the commercial district before. Later he went under, and our family took it over. I have been there before. In terms of living environment, it is definitely not worse than the Duke’s Mansion, just the location is slightly inferior. But on the market, it is worth at least tens of thousands of Gold Coins. If it were a lousy place, we wouldn’t dare take it out to entertain the Sword Saint!” The Chief Steward hurriedly said with a flattering smile.

“Good, in that case, I am relieved!” Old Xie nodded and said, “After we finish eating, I will tell them to go back, get their things, and move out!”

“Okay, thank you, Young Master!” The Chief Steward immediately said with gratitude. He originally thought that Old Xie had a bad temper and would be hard to talk to. He didn’t expect it to be so easy to get things done without any difficulties. He was also very grateful to Old Xie in his heart.

Next, the Old Steward said goodbye and left. Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Old Xie settled the bill and left directly. The hotel Manager didn’t dare to take Old Xie’s money, but Old Xie naturally wouldn’t take advantage of him. He directly threw him 10,000 Gold Coins. Actually, this meal cost at most a few thousand, but Old Xie liked the feeling of throwing money around. He just loved to show off his wealth. In his opinion, money was meant to be thrown around, otherwise what’s the use of it? Since it came easily, he didn’t care. He just considered it for the thrill.

Amidst the Manager’s ecstatic gratitude, Old Xie led the 300 strong human-shaped monsters and set off again. First, they went to the Duke’s Mansion to get their things, and then under the guidance of the servants, they arrived at the new residence. Just as the Chief Steward said, this was a very spacious and luxurious villa. In terms of comfort, it was indeed not worse than the Duke’s Mansion, perhaps even better. Whether it was the rockery, the flowing water, or the sculpture garden, it showed that the original owner had a high style.

Old Xie was very satisfied with this and arranged for the Barbarians to stay directly. Then he didn’t stay himself, but took a few things and went to the Mage Tower. He had a stomach full of words to say to the Old Mage now.

…

Familiar with the way, when Old Xie arrived at the Mage Tower with Chris Chen again, it was already evening. When Old Xie entered, the Old Mage was still studying Tianfeng Fourteen Lang. The situation of this Saint Domain Expert simply couldn’t be described with the word “miserable”.

His body was fixed by the Old Mage, and then various parts were taken out one by one and soaked in various solutions. The disassembly work had been going on for a while, and the Old Mage was studying the secret of why Tianfeng Fourteen Lang was still alive with great interest.

Seeing this, Old Xie couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “I say, why are you so interested in this thing?”

“You don’t understand!” The Old Mage explained without raising his head: “As long as I figure out the mechanism of his Magic Power operation, I can develop Combat Puppets of the Demon series. This is a major breakthrough in Puppet development! You have brought me too many surprises this time! Haha!”

Saying that, the Old Mage put down Tianfeng Fourteen Lang’s head, and then said: “Come, let’s go eat, and tell me about the process of this matter on the way!”

“Okay!” Old Xie nodded, and then entered a dining room next door with the Old Mage. The Old Mage went to wash off the blood on his body first, and then appeared again.

After Lilith served a table full of big meals, the old and the young started talking while eating and drinking. Old Xie recounted the details of this trip.

Then he first asked the Old Mage: “Did you know long ago that I have the Royal Bloodline of the Star Elves?”

“No, no!” The Old Mage quickly shook his head: “Of course I didn’t know that. In fact, I’m afraid even your mother didn’t know. After all, the Naga Race separated from the Elves for too long. And at that time, the conspiracy of the Moon Elf hadn’t been exposed yet. People with the Royal Bloodline of the Star Elves tried their best to hide their bloodline in order to escape the pursuit of the Sun Elves, and hid far away, not daring to appear at all. As a result, later on, the Royal Bloodline of the Star Elves really couldn’t be found. The Sun Elves originally planned to use the two Divine Artifacts in their hands to help the Star Elves find the royal bloodline, but unfortunately, the Star Elves didn’t appreciate it, so many people thought that the Royal Bloodline of the Star Elves had been lost. So until now, you are the only confirmed Star Elves Royal Family bloodline! Haha, congratulations!”

“What is there to congratulate!” Old Xie shrugged and said: “It’s all the same whether I have it or not!”

“No, it’s definitely different!” The Old Mage immediately laughed: “You don’t know, the Royal Family bloodline of the Elves is actually very perverted! Especially in cultivation, it’s like getting twice the result with half the effort. Ordinary Elven Royal Family members are all guys with extremely high talents. For example, Arthas. At his age, ordinary Elves are only at level 3 or 4, but he is almost level 6!”

“So what?” Old Xie immediately said disdainfully: “You said before that the Legend Rank Prophet of the Naga Race is only over 150 years old, but he is already a Legendary Expert!” Obviously, Old Xie still didn’t want to acknowledge that mother.

The Old Mage smiled slightly and said: “Star Elves are different from Sun Elves. Their lifespan is shorter, only a few hundred years. Moreover, your mother’s bloodline also has half Human and Sun Elf mixed blood, so it’s normal to grow fast. And today’s discovery also solved a question I’ve had for a long time. Obviously, the reason why she was able to become a Legendary Expert at such a young age is also largely related to her Elven Royal Family bloodline!”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this!” Old Xie felt a little depressed when he mentioned the mother who abandoned him, so he simply changed the subject: “By the way, besides Tianfeng Fourteen Lang, I gained two other boxes this time. Help me see what’s inside!” Saying that, Old Xie took out two small boxes from the Space Ring given by the Elves. One was the one Diles entrusted Constantine to carry, which was the culprit that caused Tianfeng Fourteen Lang to hunt them down endlessly. The other was the box hidden in Tianfeng Fourteen Lang’s Secret Room.

Actually, Old Xie had asked Diles to open that box long ago, but he couldn’t understand the things inside, so he came to find the Old Mage.

The Old Mage didn’t stand on ceremony either. He first took Diles’s box, opened it gently, and took out a golden scroll from inside. It was a scroll an inch thick and three inches long, made entirely of rare yellow metal. If one didn’t know better, one would really think it was cast from gold. But as soon as this thing entered the Old Mage’s discerning eyes, he immediately exclaimed: “Heavens, it’s actually a scroll made of Fine Gold. Just the material alone is worth tens of thousands of Gold Coins! It shows how precious this thing is. Where did it come from?” The Old Mage said, eagerly unrolling the scroll and carefully reading the contents inside.

“A spy from our family in the City of Chaos collected it as stolen goods. It was because he gave this thing to Constantine to transport that it led to Tianfeng Fourteen Lang’s attack. In other words, this thing caused the deaths of more than 500 Guards of the Hercules Family, and thousands of Pirates died for it too!” Old Xie laughed: “It looks like a pretty good thing!”

“It is good!” The Old Mage then smiled bitterly: “Unfortunately, I can’t interpret it. This broken thing actually uses the lost ancient language of the Star Elves! Even those old fellows in the Forest of Elves definitely wouldn’t recognize it!”

“Ancient Star Elf language?” Old Xie frowned when he heard this and asked: “Are there many ancient languages of the Elves?”

“Of course! Besides the common language, the three major tribes of the Elves each have their own sacrificial language, exclusively mastered by the high-level Druids of each tribe. The number of Druids who know this sacrificial ancient language in each tribe does not exceed one hundred! It is said that the highest-level Spell of each tribe of the Elves requires this sacrificial language to be activated!” The Old Mage then said helplessly: “The sacrificial ancient language of the Star Elves probably died out completely with that disaster. In other words, this thing may never be translated!”
