Chapter 453 Unable to Hatch
"Would someone sell the mythical companion egg?" Zhou Wen couldn't believe it.
An Sheng smiled and said, "No one would sell ordinary companion eggs, but this one is a little different."
"How is it different? Is there anything special?" Zhou Wen asked puzzledly.
"Do you know anything about the West End myth of Orpheus?" An Sheng asked.
"I have some understanding. I roughly know that it starts with the super god Chronos, then the god of chaos Chaos, and then the twelve Titans. Finally, there are the more famous twelve gods of Olympus, which is the pantheon led by Zeus. These are the more representative eras of Orphicism." Zhou Wen had some understanding of this pantheon.
Because of Chaos's inheritance, that is, the Chaos Pearl, Zhou Wen once read books on the subject. Although he did not study it in depth, he had a general understanding of this pantheon.
"It's not easy to know all this. Most people in the East District rarely study the mythology of the West District. They probably only know about Zeus and other gods." An Sheng paused, then continued, "The Capet family discovered a temple that might have been left behind by the hermaphroditic god, Phanes. Phanes's status is roughly equivalent to Pangu in our East District pantheon. Although there are some differences, it's roughly the same idea. In the myths and legends of the West District, all god kings must be recognized by him before they can become the king of the gods."
"The Capet family obtained the recognition of the Temple of Fanas and selected one of the three companion eggs in the temple, which is the invisibility cloak being auctioned this time." An Sheng said.
"That's not right. Since what's being auctioned now is a companion egg, which means no one has ever hatched it, how would we know it's an invisible cloak?" Zhou Wen asked with some confusion.
"We know it's an invisibility cloak because someone from the Capet family once hatched that mythical companion egg and gained the ability to become invisible," An Sheng said with a half-smile. "People sometimes gain power beyond the rules, and their hidden humanity erupts. That Capet family member used the power of the invisibility cloak to do countless dirty things. In the end, he became so arrogant that he even dared to touch people from the six major families. He was finally discovered by the Zhang family, and his deeds were exposed."
"This incident is a scandal among the six major families. The Capet man was also killed by the Zhang family. However, when they killed him, the Zhang family used some unknown means to revert the invisibility cloak back to its companion egg state. It did not disappear with the man, but has been preserved ever since."
"So the Invisibility Cloak Companion Egg fell into the hands of the Zhang family. There is no reason for the Zhang family to put such a powerful Companion Egg up for auction, right? Are they still short of this little money?" Zhou Wen asked puzzledly.
"Of course the Zhang family isn't short of money, but the Invisibility Cloak's Companion Egg isn't truly in its egg form. We don't know what tricks they used to revert the Invisibility Cloak back to its egg form, but no one has been able to hatch it. Initially, no one knew there was a problem with the Invisibility Cloak's Companion Egg, so the Capet family paid a large sum of money to get it back from the Zhang family. But even after getting it back, it wouldn't hatch."
An Sheng continued, "The invisibility cloak changed hands several times afterwards. Even though it had its problems, it was a mythical companion egg after all, and it possessed fantastic invisibility abilities. Everyone wanted to give it a try, and everyone thought that maybe they could succeed if others couldn't. But in the end, no one could. From the six major families to ordinary wealthy families, it changed hands several times, and still no one could re-hatched the invisibility cloak. But don't think you can get a bargain. There are many confident people, and many people want to bid for the invisibility cloak companion egg. The price will definitely be beyond imagination."
"Can my Yuan Jing Shi be auctioned?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Of course I can, but it's inconvenient. How about this? I'll help you bid for the Invisibility Cloak Companion Egg. When I come back, you can give me an equivalent amount of Yuan Jing Shi at the market price." An Sheng thought for a moment and said, "The amount of money this auction will bring is definitely not small. I don't know if it will exceed your expectations, so you have to come with me. If you think it's worth it, I'll bid. If you think it's too expensive, then you can just give up."
"Going to the West District?" Zhou Wen was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements and there won't be any problem. Just think of it as a trip. There are many famous dimensional areas in the West District where the auction will be held. You can go and have a look when the time comes." An Sheng saw Zhou Wen's worry.
"Okay." Zhou Wen was very interested in the invisibility cloak, and he also wanted to see if there were any small hand patterns in the dimensional area of the western district.
If there are small hand patterns, it would be nice to download a few and brush them. Zhou Wen is very interested in companion pets such as angels, elves, and demons.
Because he had to go out, Zhou Wen had to leave the antelope and the bird with Wang Lu. Zhou Wen had previously given some Yuan Crystals to the antelope and the bird, but they had no interest in them at all.
"Now that you're gone, you're going to owe me breakfast for a few days, right? I'm afraid it won't be enough for lunch in the future." Wang Lu looked at him and said.
"Then let's use dinner to make up for it." Zhou Wen said.
"I want to lose weight and skip dinner." Wang Lu said with a pout.
Having said that, Wang Lu still took the bird, and the antelope followed in consciously, even a little impatiently.
Obviously, the food here with Wang Lu is better than with Zhou Wen.
Ansheng personally took Zhou Wen to the West District this time. Zhou Wen heard from Ansheng that the place they were going to was a peninsula, very close to the sea. Not far from the peninsula were the Aegean Islands, where there were many dimensional realms and many terrifying existences.
"Is there a dimensional area where companion pets like angels and elves will spawn?" Zhou Wen asked An Sheng while sitting in the car.
An Sheng blinked and said, "Elves are creatures that only exist in the northern dimension, and angels belong to another pantheon. Do you think they exist?"
"Isn't it the same area?" Zhou Wen was a little surprised. He always thought that these two dimensional creatures belonged to the West District.
"Of course not." An Sheng answered with certainty.
"Then what kind of companion pets are there in the places we go?" Zhou Wen had no choice but to ask Ansheng.
"Monsters, giants, giant snakes, and the like." An Sheng briefly listed them, then smiled and said, "If you have the ability, you can also kill a god like Athena. Maybe you can also get a companion egg. It is said that Athena's temple has been discovered, but it is hard to say whether there is the real Athena inside."
"Forget about mythical creatures, are there any more practical epic companion pets?" Zhou Wen knew his own business. It was too unlikely for him to kill mythical creatures now.
Now Zhou Wen is waiting for the Tyrant Behemoth to complete its evolution. Once it becomes a myth, Zhou Wen will truly have the capital to fight against mythical creatures.
