Chapter 516: Plotting the items left by the Eight Greed Kings

"Shengzai, you insisted on choosing this commission; you must have other purposes, right?"

After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Lakyus asked the doubt in her heart for the first time.

Because if Shengzai wanted to quickly improve his adventurer level, then with their strength, they would be fully capable of completing more commissions in the same amount of time, and there was no need to choose this type that required long-distance travel.

Although the reward for this commission was very generous, even comparable to an adamantite-ranked commission, Lakyus didn't think that Shengzai, as the Third Prince of the Kingdom, would be short of this little money.

Since he had decided to act with "Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei" and Shengzai also planned to cultivate them for the Kingdom, Shengzai didn't continue to hide his true goal.

"Going to the southern desert to subjugate those desert giant scorpions is just a matter of convenience. My true goal is actually the ruins sleeping in the southern desert."

"The ruins in the southern desert?"

"That's right, I don't know if you have heard of the legend of the "Eight Greed Kings"?"

Facing Shengzai's inquiry, Lakyus and the others of "Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei" shook their heads. Only Evileye, who had lived for more than two hundred years, frowned slightly, because she seemed to have heard this name from the old woman Rigrit.

"Legend has it that every once in a while, some powerful existences descend upon this world, causing turmoil to the whole world.

And these unknown forces that descend into the world, some are in the justice camp and will bring benefits and development to this world, but some are in the evil camp and will bring a lot of death and destruction to this world.

The "Six Great Gods" who founded the Slane Theocracy more than six hundred years ago were one of these unknown forces.

And the "Thirteen Heroes" of your ancestors, Lakyus, also belong to one of them.

Finally, there are the "Eight Greed Kings" I just mentioned, who are also one of the unknown forces that descended into this world!"

"The "Eight Greed Kings" were very strong, even stronger than the "Six Great Gods" who descended into this world earlier than them.

Because in legend, they destroyed the kingdoms of that time in the blink of an eye and ruled the world with absolute power.

Even the ancient Dragon Lords of that time were far from their opponents, and even the entire dragon race suffered heavy damage from them."

Lakyus and the others had never heard of such secrets, so at this moment, looks of extreme surprise appeared on their faces.

"Shengzai, according to what you mean, the "Eight Greed Kings" were so strong that even the entire dragon race was not their opponent, so how were they destroyed?

You just said that we are going to the southern desert to find the ruins of the "Eight Greed Kings," right?"

Lakyus was a little puzzled. Since the "Eight Greed Kings" were invincible in the world, why has it only been five hundred years, and the Slane Theocracy built by the earlier Six Great Gods can still remain, while the kingdom built by the stronger "Eight Greed Kings" cannot?

Even things about the "Eight Greed Kings" have almost completely disappeared into the dust of history.

"The "Eight Greed Kings" were ultimately existences that brought destruction to the world, so it is normal for their history to be erased.

And legends also record that the reason they perished was entirely due to infighting.

The capital of the kingdom they finally established, E-Rantel, was in the southern desert, and it stored a large number of powerful magic items and was guarded by thirty city guardians.

The former "Thirteen Heroes" also went there and gained the recognition of the guardians there, obtaining some super magic items."

As a descendant of the "Thirteen Heroes," Lakyus admired her ancestors who were adventurers the most, so hearing this, her expression was quite excited.

"Why do you, a Third Prince of the Kingdom, know these things?"

Compared to Lakyus and the others who were completely excited after hearing the legend of the "Eight Greed Kings," Evileye looked at Shengzai with some vigilance and asked.

Things about the "Eight Greed Kings," she, who had lived for more than two hundred years, had only heard a few words from Rigrit, but Shengzai, a Third Prince of the Kingdom, could know so many secrets, which in itself was quite an unreasonable thing.

"The matter of the "Eight Greed Kings" ruins, E-Rantel, although it is a secret that not many people know, it is not completely unknown. Even Fluder of the Empire has been there, but his strength failed to gain the recognition of the city guardians, so he couldn't bring anything back.

I have my own special sources of information, and I originally planned to go with Seeing Kang Jinlong alone. If you, Miss Evileye, feel that there is something tricky, you can choose not to come."

"You guy..."

Facing Shengzai's somewhat impolite rebuttal, Evileye was also a little angry, but Shengzai didn't choose to indulge the other party.

Originally, he did plan to go with Seeing Kang Jinlong to scavenge various magic items and equipment left by the "Eight Greed Kings" in preparation for fighting Overlord in the future.

Now that he is willing to bring "Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei," it is already out of face for Lakyus to take them flying. As a result, Evileye actually doubted his intentions, so he naturally wouldn't give the other party any good looks.

The level of "Landfall" is about 50. After all, being able to fight two battle maids one-on-two is indeed considered a supreme powerhouse for the natives of this world.

But such strength, in front of the current Shengzai and Seeing Kang Jinlong, is not worth mentioning at all.

"Alright, you two don't argue. Evileye, I grew up with Shengzai, I know his character very well, he definitely won't do anything unfavorable to us.

Shengzai, you too, Evileye's character is just a sharp tongue and a soft heart, she just asked one more question out of caution."

Because Lakyus acted as a peacemaker, the two naturally didn't really argue.

And no one would be uninterested in powerful magic items and equipment, so after preparing, Shengzai and the others set off for the southern desert in a grand manner.

"You said before that every time this world goes through a turmoil, a group of powerful unknown forces will descend into this world.

Then according to the previous time and the appearing force camps, the "Six Great Gods" six hundred years ago were just, the "Eight Greed Kings" five hundred years ago were evil, and the "Thirteen Heroes" two hundred years ago were just.

Then does it mean that the next unknown force to descend into this world will be an evil existence that will bring harm to the world?"

Sitting on the eight-legged horse carriage heading to the southern desert, Evileye had been thinking about the things Shengzai said before, and after discovering the pattern, she finally couldn't help but look at Shengzai and ask the question she cared about very much.

And Shengzai didn't care about Evileye's previous behavior, after all, he knew something about the tsundere character of the Landfall loli.

"To be precise, the century-old aftershocks happen once every hundred years. The "Six Great Gods," "Eight Greed Kings," and "Thirteen Heroes" are just the existences in the century-old aftershocks that can leave their names in history."
