Chapter 78: The Room

Powerful!

This was Dean’s first intuitive reaction after seeing the [Dragon Head Greatsword]. Having any one of these three traits—Intimidation, Cleave, or Dragon Roar—on a weapon was enough to make it a top-tier weapon. When all three appeared on a single weapon, it was undoubtedly a legendary-grade weapon.

At the same time, Dean recalled some legends about the Conqueror King. In these legends, the Conqueror King was like a god descended to the mortal realm, completely unafraid of the number of enemies. He not only charged into enemy formations alone but also faced the siege of strong enemies without fear, always winning at the last moment.

Back then, when Dean heard these legends, he treated them just as stories.

After all, even a Gold-rank Knight with outstanding Talent found it hard to fight two opponents of the same level at once. Only those with special Talents had such abilities.

However, even a Gold-rank Knight with special Talent could at most handle two or three opponents. Fighting more than that would put him in crisis.

In the legends, the Conqueror King fought ten opponents alone at the Gold-rank level, forcing the Gold-rank Experts of the Emerald and Divine Church factions to flee in terror, thus establishing his prestigious name as the “King.”

Such events looked more like stories no matter how you looked at them.

But with the [Dragon Head Greatsword], it did not seem impossible—

First, the Intimidation trait was undoubtedly the foundation for the Conqueror King’s solo charge into the enemy ranks. That state of weakened strength, or even numbness and unconsciousness, was inevitable. Even Knights, unless they specialized in Will, were like lambs to be slaughtered before the Conqueror King wielding this greatsword.

Therefore, most of the grunt soldiers could not pose any real danger to this Conqueror King.

After eliminating the grunts, the remaining elites and strong enemies faced significant headaches due to the Cleave trait. The Conqueror King’s Strength attribute was undeniable. Added to the advantage of the +3 durability of the [Dragon Head Greatsword], even elites and strong enemies wielding top-tier Magic Weapons found it difficult to escape the fact that their weapons and Armors were destroyed.

Of course, there would definitely be opponents on par with the Conqueror King.

This is when the importance of the Dragon Roar trait became apparent.

In just three actual exchanges, the Dragon Breath flame would fill a five-yard radius around the Conqueror King, catching his opponents off guard.

Therefore, even if someone withstood the Conqueror King head-on, it was difficult for others to surround him.

The Dragon Breath flame was enough to deter most people. Even those who charged forward would be affected. After all, Giant Dragons, legendary creatures, were mostly at the Gold-rank level. They did not need Baptism or cultivation to grow naturally, and this natural growth made them the level that most humans looked up to.

Their famous Dragon Breath naturally belonged to a Gold-rank attack.

Even if the [Dragon Head Greatsword] did not have the full power of a Giant Dragon’s Dragon Breath, it was enough to instill fear. According to Dean’s estimation, unless a Knight reached the Silver Level, there was no power to resist the Dragon Breath flame.

Even if one reached the Silver Level or even the Gold-rank level, without good Armor, it was still difficult to resist the Dragon Breath flame.

After all, flesh and blood hard-resisting Dragon Breath flame that could melt steel—you could survive the first time and the second time, but what about the third and fourth times?

Perhaps only…

Dean subconsciously looked at the Conqueror King’s Corpse. His heart knew clearly that only someone who reached a level similar to the Conqueror King could possibly achieve such a feat.

However, for now, Dean did not dare to hope for a level above Gold-rank.

For Dean, the most important thing was to grasp the present—

“At least 5 points of Strength and a Dragon Bloodline?”

Dean gripped the hilt of the [Dragon Head Greatsword] with both hands. It was extremely difficult to lift the greatsword, which was taller than him himself. Feeling the sharpness of the blade and… that sense of incongruous heaviness, Dean couldn’t help but whisper to himself.

Although the [Dragon Head Greatsword] was very heavy, it did not reach the point where Dean found it extremely difficult to lift it now.

Undoubtedly, this was limited by the so-called ‘Bloodline’—

Obviously, the reason why that Goth Prince did not use the [Dragon Head Greatsword] as his personal Sword, besides its size, was the so-called ‘Dragon Bloodline.’

It was well known that the Conqueror King had killed an irritable Red Dragon and drank its Blood. Therefore, possessing the Dragon Bloodline was not unexpected.

However, this Bloodline had become very weak by now in the Goth Royal Family, so weak that almost no one could get the [Dragon Head Greatsword] to recognize them. Fendel, this Goth Prince, was undoubtedly a direct descendant of that Conqueror King. But even such a direct descendant could not get the [Dragon Head Greatsword] to recognize his own Bloodline. One could imagine the situation for other members of the Goth Royal Family.

Clang!

The exceptionally heavy [Dragon Head Greatsword] prevented Dean from holding it up for a long time, so he had to put it down. The collision between the blade and the Gold Throne immediately produced a crisp sound of metal striking metal.

Looking at the [Dragon Head Greatsword], which had sunk more than half into the Gold Throne, Dean couldn’t help but sigh.

The power of the [Dragon Head Greatsword] was undeniable!

Not wanting it was absolutely against his true feelings.

However, obviously, this greatsword did not belong to him. After all, even the direct descendant of the owner could not use it, let alone an outsider like him?

Therefore, after a moment, Dean temporarily set the [Dragon Head Greatsword] aside. Although he could not use it, he would definitely not leave it here to create an opportunity for that Prince Fendel to ascend the throne.

Although Dean did not have the hobby of collecting treasures.

If it were a weapon of the level of the [Dragon Head Greatsword], Dean would certainly not mind.

Of course, he still needed to check if there were any other gains—

After all, this was the tomb of the Conqueror King. Besides that [Dragon Head Greatsword], Dean believed there would be other items that would surprise him.

In fact, the place where these items were stored was very easy to find.

Circling around the tall Gold Throne, a single-sided stone door appeared in front of Dean.

Thud, thud…

Amidst the sound of the stone door sliding, Dean, who was standing to the side, confirmed that there would be no crossbow bolts, acid, or fireballs flying out, before carefully appearing at the doorway.

Dean had seen too many examples of success being ruined due to negligence at the last moment, and he absolutely did not want to become such an example.

This was a small room, so small that it couldn’t even fit the Gold Throne outside—it was fully twenty feet high and occupied half the area of the hall. Dean naturally would not give it up; after all, this was several tons of Gold, which could be exchanged for a large amount of weapons, equipment, food, and other supplies.

Of course, transporting it would be very troublesome.

After all, since it involved the Conqueror King’s tomb, Dean could not let others participate. He could only blame himself for having to complete this task alone—so, this was a protracted project.

Of course, Dean believed he would complete it smoothly, just as he had taken away that [Dragon Head Greatsword].

If there were other spoils, Dean would not mind either—

The room was less than twenty square meters, so one could see the end of it with a glance.

A desk, bookshelves, an empty weapon rack, and a map hanging on the wall.

Dean only glanced at that empty weapon rack. Based on its size, he could confirm that this should be the Conqueror King’s Study during his lifetime—arranged at least according to the layout of his life.

Glancing at the layout of the room here.

Dean confirmed again the rumors about the Conqueror King’s simple and rigid life during his lifetime—in the rumors, this ruler of Goth lived an extremely frugal life, wearing one robe for years without caring if it had patches. If it were not for the fact that he could eat the amount of food equivalent to a whole cow each time, such frugality would absolutely be respected by people.

In fact, in another rumor, the reason the Conqueror King was so frugal was that he had eaten himself ‘poor.’

Of course, Dean would not believe the latter rumor.

After all, the treasure the Conqueror King obtained after successfully slaughtering the dragon was unimaginable. If one had to describe it with one word, it would be: as rich as a nation!

Furthermore, the Conqueror King himself was born into a Grand Noble family. Even if all his wealth were converted into an army, there would still be surplus. One must absolutely not underestimate the accumulation of a centuries-old noble Family.

And seeing this room, Dean sneered even more at the latter rumor.

Look at the weapon rack carved from Magic Crystal, and the desk and bookshelves made of thousand-year-old wood—any single one of these items, if taken out, people would compete to exchange it with you, let alone a cow, or even ten thousand cows.

Dean, trained by that Old Thief, was quite skilled at evaluating the value of certain items.

He would absolutely not identify it wrong.

Therefore, the latter rumor was definitely a misrepresentation, and the first rumor also had some inaccuracies—obviously, that Conqueror King was not truly frugal in the real sense; he just pursued simplicity.

Or, to be more accurate… he simply did not care about the gaze of others at all!

Connecting this with the other’s life story, those seemingly crazy actions—all of them revealed his own ‘unrestrained and willful’ nature.

“Living only for himself…”

Dean whispered silently, and then his gaze fell on the desk and bookshelves in the room.

Undoubtedly, in this room, the only two places capable of storing things were these two.
