Chapter 464

Here there are many strong people; if he directly admits having it on him, he fears this bunch of NPCs will disregard martial ethics and directly attack to seize it.

Although the items inside the spatial divine ring won't drop out, once a conflict arises, he and He Er Na will be in danger.

Even if he himself dies, it's fine; he can still revive. But if that obedient contract goddess dies, that would be heartbreaking!

His answer made the war goddess frown slightly.

"Is that so?" the war goddess asked, her tone not very convinced.

She took two more steps forward, reaching the edge of the monarch's throne dais, looking at Xiao Feng seated on the chair, and said: "But I sense the aura of the War Horn coming from your body."

"Huh?"

"What!"

"Is the War Horn really on him?"

The officials in the hall all turned pale one by one.

War Horn, that is the treasured heirloom of the War God Nation, a perfect chief god artifact!

Back then, because the previous chief god lost the War Horn in the Abyssal World of Zhu Shen Da Lu, the entire god nation's status plummeted, falling from a top rank among the 24 god nations straight to last place.

After so many years, although they have strived to develop and seen some recovery, they still cannot escape the fate of being at the bottom.

Without the War Horn and the chief god's War God Nation, they don't even deserve to be called a god nation!

If the War Horn is on Xiao Feng, they must retrieve this treasure no matter what.

"Uh, why are you all so worked up?"

Xiao Feng sat on the chair, looking at the excited officials, putting on a speechless expression, and said: "You take the monarch's offhand deceit as truth? If I had the War Horn, I would surely bring it out to trade with you for treasures—why would I hide it?"

The War Horn has been sealed in dust for years, long since lost its luster, with no aura to speak of.

Moreover, it is placed inside the spatial divine ring, which itself is inside the backpack.

In this situation, if any aura could still leak out, it wouldn't be a "dust-sealed" chief god artifact, but a super lively chief god artifact.

Obviously, the war goddess is testing him!

As expected, he guessed correctly.

After saying that, the war goddess fell silent and asked no more.

"Young adventurer."

Overlord Blaze King Wumu stood up, gathering his sorrowful feelings.

He said in a low, beast-like voice: "War Horn for"

For us it is of extraordinary significance, of great importance. If you can retrieve it for us, we can promise to give you a chief god artifact suited to you in exchange, and grant you the treatment of a ennobled king, allotting you a vast tract of land within the War God Nation.

This condition is undeniably tempting.

Xiao Feng listened, nodded secretly, feeling it was not bad.

But that the other side could offer such good terms shows even more how important the War Horn is.

Moreover…

He smiled and asked the war goddess: "Your Majesty the monarch, is what Overlord Blaze King Wumu said true? Can I be ennobled as a king?"

Overlord Blaze King Wumu himself is only a ennobled king, yet he says he will grant Xiao Feng a kingship, which somewhat oversteps the monarch's authority.

But the war goddess wasn't angry, instead she nodded and said: "Overlord Blaze King and Blood Armor King are senior elders of my father god's generation; their words carry the same weight as mine. As long as you retrieve the War Horn, you may choose any fief of the god nation."

This good…

Xiao Feng felt a bit tempted.

From the map, a border lord's territory is roughly the size of three Zhu Shen Da Lu, quite vast.

If we could take it down, we might even gain some "Civilization Index".

Moreover, obtaining a chief god artifact suited to oneself is also a great temptation!

I just don't know if these people are reliable.

What if they collectively fraud us?

NPCs aren't necessarily honest; even if a task is issued by the system for notarization, one could encounter a scammer like "Daifeiaona" and have their mood messed up.

Today we already obtained a chief god artifact; no need to rush for a second one—let's pause, observe, then talk!

"Alright, then I'll return to Zhu Shen Da Lu when I have free time another day, go search in Shen Yuan Shijie. If there's any news, I'll definitely inform you right away."

Xiao Feng said that, without making any clear commitment.

After saying that, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Hey! Warrior, wait!" Seeing him about to leave, Overlord Blaze King Wumu immediately shouted to stop him.

"Overlord Blaze King, any further orders?" Xiao Feng asked.

This short and stout elderly Upper God said: "You brought back the corpse of the War God Chief for us, which is a favor to the god nation; if you just leave like that, the people of the Elemental Sea might say our War God Nation doesn't know hospitality. Warrior, you have just ascended; there are likely many places in the Shen Jie you're not familiar with, so we can send someone to show you around."

Xiao Feng heard, smiled and politely declined: "Thanks for the kindness, but no need; having He Er Na introduce me to the rules of the Elemental Sea is enough. I this person likes"

likes to wander around; staying here being served by you all, I'm actually not used to it.

This is true.

He indeed doesn't like staying in one place as a guest; that wastes time and delays leveling up.

It would be better to run around; maybe we'll encounter some clueless gods, kill them and dig out their divinity!

Moreover... he always feels that the looks people give him are strange.

With a chief god artifact on him, it's hard to guarantee others won't covet it!

"Well... then okay, since the warrior wants to explore the Elemental Sea on his own, we can't really hold him back." Overlord Blaze King Wumu nodded, a flash of strange light passing in his eyes.

He took out an object and handed it to Xiao Feng, saying: "This is the War Capital's recall token, similar to the lower realm's return-to-city scroll. When you lose direction in the Elemental Sea, you can use it to return to the War Capital."

Xiao Feng received it, delighted: "This is indeed a good thing, thank you!"

The item's name is 【War Capital Recall Token】, and its effect is the same as what Overlord Blaze King Wumu said.

However, the cooldown is still quite long; it can only be used once every three days.

Many rules in Shen Jie differ from those of the lower realm; many convenient gameplay features from games have been removed here.

After ascension, the game world is even closer to a real environment, and the feeling of a virtual game is fading.

"Then we'll be going first, farewell!"

Xiao Feng bade farewell to the female war goddess and the two marquis-level powerhouses, then left the War Holy Hall together with He Er Na.

After leaving, the two flew low to the ground and soon exited the inner city.

"Master, why don't you stay a bit longer? Although the War God's Kingdom has declined considerably compared to before, it remains very powerful. Staying here would be beneficial for you to understand Shen Jie." He Er Na asked in her mind.

Xiao Feng shook his head and said: "I'm carrying a divine artifact; just now, those ministers in the hall looked at me strangely. I feel that if I stay here, I'm bound to be attacked."

"This... probably not? They're all subjects of the War God's Kingdom; they'd surely be mindful of the kingdom's dignity and wouldn't dare act against us lightly." He Er Na said, feeling he was overthinking.

"Who knows? Some people appear friendly on the surface, but who knows what scheming they're up to behind the scenes." Xiao Feng remained noncommittal.

Shen Jie is not comparable to Zhu Shen Da Lu.

Here, he is no longer an absolutely invincible existence.

Anything that could put oneself in danger must be guarded against!

"He Er Na, fly with me; let's speed up and head straight into the Elemental Sea!" Xiao Feng said.
