Capítulo 766: Chapter 745: Lord Jiang’s Relic
Looking at this coffin that exudes the aura of the old Master Jiang, it is certain that this is the “Jiang Mansion’s Secret Collection” obtained from mory.
A closer observation reveals that the structure of this coffin is quite unique. It seems to have chanisms inside, and if forced open, it would be damaged from the inside.
The reason Mr. Rose hasn’t touched this coffin is clearly because his current thods cannot open it normally, or rather, only a successor like Luo Di can open it.
However, Luo Di is in no hurry.
He took a sip of tea, the rose fragrance in it was astonishingly stunning, it even created an illusion of tasting blood, arousing the instincts of a murderer.
“Good tea… Why didn’t Mr. Rose join Vortex Town? Even just in na would be fine.
If my dungeon trip succeeds, I will bring back more information, which will be shared with the teacher group in Vortex Town imdiately.”
Mr. Rose motioned for a servant to bring so bread, stacking them like a pyramid, then explained:
“I once considered it but eventually gave up, which is why I am having a personal transaction with you.
I prefer life at the top, rather than being under soone… Vortex Town is indeed great, and I’m also grateful that you all drove away the Outer Realm.
I simply want information, and by agreeing to this transaction, Luo Di can beco a permanent honored guest of Rose Manor.”
“Alright, but…”
Luo Di took another sip of tea.
“Besides this black coffin, I have another request.”
“I will try my best to satisfy it.”
“If I can return from the dungeon, I hope to have a direct confrontation with Mr. Rose, and the venue will be set in Vortex Town.”
Upon hearing this,
the servants in the Banquet Hall all looked over.
They have self-awareness and cannot understand why this young man would request to challenge Mr. Rose, given the gap in their rankings, it seems like a suicidal act.
Yet Mr. Rose showed an indescribably strange smile.
“A confrontation? It’s been a long ti since I heard this term.
Alright, I can agree to this condition. But you need to note down that it’s only limited to a confrontation between the two of us, and regardless of the outco, Vortex Town will not intervene or hold any responsibility.”
“Agreed.”
With the signing complete,
the early banquet began,
two portions of food were brought in front of Luo Di, and as he ate, a woman’s hand would grow from the surface of his skin, placing another portion into his mouth.
Mr. Rose finished dining early, went to the Banquet Hall’s separate room to change clothes quickly, putting on a mink coat, tying a tie, and tucking pure white trousers into gold-embellished long boots.
Once Luo Di finished eating, it was ti for the crucial “coffin opening mont”.
Mr. Rose stood beside the coffin, wearing a glove seemingly made of Zombie Skin, gently stroking the surface of the coffin lid.
“Master Jiang’s coffin was hidden very deeply, and I had quite a hassle bringing it out during the relocation.
As a result, I couldn’t open it at all, and no matter what thods I used, it couldn’t be opened. It can only be opened if the aura completely matches and the yin energy inside can be mobilized across the coffin.
It seems only you, who personally beheaded Master Jiang, can possibly open it.”
Mr. Rose stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation,
Luo Di suppressed his slightly agitated heart; he had always been curious about what exactly the Jiang Mansion’s Secret Collection contained, what belonged exclusively to Master Jiang.
He placed his palm on the coffin lid,
absorbing the yin energy,
the accumulated yin energy inside the coffin slowly began to stir, as if forming several arms inside the coffin that could manipulate the chanisms.
The coffin lid loosened.
Mr. Rose decisively stepped back to avoid being tainted by the dense yin energy.
Luo Di stepped forward and inhaled deeply, then used a relic to absorb all the yin energy, transforming it into a maneuvrable mist form.
Once the mist inside the coffin dissipated,
the anticipated treasure corner belonging exclusively to Master Jiang, worth a fortune, did not appear. It was empty inside, leaving only so traces on the coffin walls.
Judging by these traces, many things used to be stored inside.
They were not taken by Mr. Rose,
but by Master Jiang himself.
When he set out for the deepest part of the dungeon, he took all the treasures stored inside. Weapons, armors, and old corpses that could be used as body replacents.
However, while absorbing the yin energy, Luo Di sensed sothing, and he reached out to touch the bottom of the coffin.
Snap!
He really did unlock a hidden compartnt.
Thought it contained rare treasures, but in Luo Di’s hand was rely a well-aged ram’s horn hamr, sothing available at any hardware store in the human world.
“This was the most often used tool by Lord Jiang during his ti in the human world. It was with this hamr that he spent years to complete the foundational construction of Jupiter City.
Didn’t expect it to be preserved, let alone hidden in such a place.”
Suddenly, Luo Di’s peripheral gaze caught an abnormal scene.
Mr. Rose appeared sowhat wary upon seeing the hamr, the golden left eye he always kept sealed seed to open for a brief mont.
“Mr. Rose, do you recognize this thing?”
“Recognize… But this matter is almost unknown to outsiders, since you, Luo Di, are a guest of the manor, I shall share it with you.
Back in the day, when I founded the Human Body Exhibition, I sent an invitation to Jiang Mansion, not only was it refused, but the ssenger responsible for delivering the invitation was killed.
This incident should have been ntioned to you by Professor Noel, my stance at the ti was better to have fewer issues rather than more. After all, the exhibition had just been established; it wasn’t necessary to form an opposing relationship with another corner organization.
However, I wasn’t going to let it slide, after so special Disguise, I secretly infiltrated Jiang Mansion alone, seeking revenge.
He killed my ssenger, so I killed his servants.
I directly cleared out the corpse refining shop at the ti, including an elderly manager.
Unfortunately, Lord Jiang’s wife wasn’t among them that night, otherwise eliminating the corpse refiners could have severely hindered Jiang Mansion’s developnt.
It was on my way out that Lord Jiang stopped .
Of course, I wasn’t willing to confront him head-on, I thought a brief skirmish would allow to slip away… Instead, half my head was severely smashed, turning out the way it is now.”
Mr. Rose touched the golden left side of his face, swept back his hair, and continued:
“It was thanks to Lord Jiang’s destruction that I was able to reshape my left face in a brand-new way, inspiring to pursue higher in human body art.
This hamr is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Since you inherited Lord Jiang’s legacy, you should be able to utilize its true effect.”
Luo Di was sowhat puzzled, “Why did Lord Jiang carry everything to the deepest part of the dungeon, yet leave this behind?”
“Who knows~ Perhaps he brought the hamr along because it’s so important to him, even if he discarded other relics, he would bring the hamr back at any cost.”
“Indeed…”
Luo Di fiddled with the ram’s horn hamr, although he had never done construction work, he had used a baseball bat as a weapon before.
Stowing away the hamr, perhaps it would have a miraculous effect in the deepest exploration of the dungeon.
“Luo Di, are you heading out now?”
“Yes, very urgently.”
“Follow , the dungeon is just behind Jiang Mansion’s hill, which is now my backyard. Since we’re pressed for ti, let’s go at our fastest pace.
I might be faster, just follow my aura to catch up.”
Mr. Rose deliberately took off at his fastest speed, seemingly stepping on a special dance pace, he vanished instantly from the Banquet Hall, petals fluttering where he went.
However,
Just as Luo Di was about to follow, a voice echoed from within his body.
“Like to show off? Luo Di, don’t move, let take control of your body…”
“Alright.”
Once the control was handed over,
Luo Di felt the environnt starting to change, solid buildings seed to flow like liquid, all flowing towards him.
Environnt adaptation.
His body took a dramatically exaggerated starting position.
Body leaning forward, almost glued to the ground,
Both arms stretched extrely forward, fingers spread, dug into the ground, carving deep traces into the Banquet Hall’s tiles.
The bases of his extrely compressed feet ford a spiral structure through muscle control.
In the mont of exertion,
The space seed to shudder,
Each step, each arm swing faultless.
[At the dungeon entrance]
Creatures influenced by the dungeon here had all been slaughtered by assassins from Rose Manor, each wore various animal masks, stained with strange crimson all over.
Sensing the master’s arrival, they all bowed, weapons for murder held against their chests.
But they also noticed a quicker figure approaching from behind, reaching the entrance faster than their master.
