It seems that these are indeed the descendants of the forging family that Gilgamesh left in the King's Treasury.
In other words, there is still a branch of the Uruk Kingdom that has not completely disappeared?
Just as Lin Qiye was thinking, everyone pushed the wooden cart and came to the center of a wide square. An old man in a gray robe, holding a cane, was already waiting in front of everyone.
“City Lord!!”
The big man in the lead waved excitedly.
"You are finally back..." The city lord looked at the wine barrels loaded on the carts and smiled on his wrinkled face, "It seems that we have made a good harvest today."
"It's a full 60 kilograms, Lord! It's enough for the whole city to drink for several days!"
"Well done. Go get two more bags of rice for each person later."
"Thank you, City Lord!"
The big man thanked Lin Qiye repeatedly, walked past him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.
"I say, Lao Liu, why are you not happy at all?"
Lin Qiye's mouth twitched and he forced a smile.
"Don't force him... Lao Liu, we are going to have a celebratory drink, do you want to come?"
Lin Qiye shook his head decisively, "I'm not going."
"Then let's go."
The big men did not force it. They put their arms around each other's shoulders, turned around and left with laughter, leaving Lin Qiye alone in the square.
He was about to turn around and leave when the elderly city lord suddenly spoke:
"Sixth brother, wait a moment."
Lin Qiye's eyes fixed and he stopped.
"What's wrong, City Lord?" he turned his head and asked.
The city lord leaned on his crutches and waved his hand gently. A man behind him came up to Lin Qiye holding a wooden box and opened it.
A deep blue crystal ball was quietly placed in the wooden box.
"This is……"
"Sixth Brother, you are now an adult. According to the rules of our Wucheng, every family must receive a sacred artifact for maintenance and pass it down from generation to generation... This crystal was originally kept by your parents. Since they had an accident and you are capable of maintaining it independently, it will be handed over to you from now on."
The city lord walked up to him and spoke earnestly.
Lin Qiye was stunned for a long while, and finally came to his senses and took the wooden box containing the crystal ball in his hands.
"Yes, City Lord." Lin Qiye replied.
The city lord patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Lin Qiye stood alone in the center of the square, holding the wooden box in his hand, feeling a little confused for a moment.
After reaching adulthood, every family receives and maintains a sacred artifact... Why does this sound so mysterious?
It's just as deceptive as the people in a certain city claiming that everyone can adopt a giant panda after they grow up.
No matter what, there was no reason for Lin Qiye to let go of the artifact that was forced into his hands. He quickly left with the wooden box in his arms. He extended his mental power and began to explore this ancient and mysterious city-state.
This city-state is not big. Lin Qiye roughly estimated that the population in the city is less than three hundred people, but each family has many children, so in total, there are about thirty households in the city.
In other words, there are thirty sacred artifacts hidden in this city-state alone?
What about the entire treasure trove?
Is Gilgamesh's treasure so terrifying?
But if you think about it carefully, it is not too outrageous. Divine artifacts are divided into different levels. From the time he entered this treasure house to now, Lin Qiye has never seen any decent divine artifacts.
Boots that chase you faster the faster you run; spears and birds that fly around for fun; flagons that enjoy watching people sing and dance and have endless amounts of wine... Although they are divine weapons, they are not at the same level as Lin Qiye's Ame-no-Kurosaku sword and the [Divine Disaster] in Yuuri Takishiro's hands.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no decent artifacts in the entire Wucheng.
Clang——!!
In a blacksmith shop on the street, a muscular man with his upper body naked was holding a small black hammer and hammering the sword blank under him seriously.
Every time he dropped his hammer, a ferocious flash of lightning would streak across the sky. The terrifying aura rolled over the streets, and even Lin Qiye felt the oppression.
The man wielding the hammer was but a mortal being; the strange phenomenon in the sky was simply the power of the hammer.
Not only that, at the end of the street, an elderly woman, holding a green bell in her hand, gently waved it at the dead branches and leaves piled up in the yard. A whirlwind suddenly arose, blowing all the garbage into the sky and landing in the desert.
A farmer holding a sickle, a girl wearing a bracelet, a young man playing the bagpipes... In the ordinary and simple daily life, there is extraordinary power of artifacts everywhere.
Here, the artifact no longer seems to be a high and mighty artifact, but a part of the lives of the people in this city.
Lin Qiye's mental power was always paying attention to the situation on the nearby streets, and he also heard some information from passers-by.
All the artifacts stored in this Wu City are harmless and currently controllable.
Outside the city walls lies the world of uncontrollable divine artifacts. The "uncontrollable" here does not mean that they are too dangerous, but that after the birth of spirituality, these divine artifacts are unwilling to live within the city walls, such as the naughty and noisy wine jugs, boots, and flying birds.
Of course, there are some extremely dangerous artifacts hidden outside the city walls, but such artifacts are simply beyond the reach of people in Wu City.
Unfortunately, after listening for a long time, Lin Qiye still couldn't find the whereabouts of the artifact related to [Star Coin].
He strolled around the city and found a relatively quiet tavern to sit down.
There are too many magical artifacts hidden in this city. Not to mention him, even if a strong man at the top level of mankind came here, he would probably suffer a big defeat if he underestimated the natives here.
If you want to find [Star Coins], you still have to use your wits, not brute force...
Just as Lin Qiye was thinking carefully, a loud thunder suddenly sounded from the sky, and then the ground beneath everyone's feet began to shake violently!
"Um?"
Lin Qiye seemed to have noticed something and looked up at the sky.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that the fools who are about to fall are here..."
…
Fog.
Above the churning sea, two figures stood high in the sky, looking down at the king turtle swimming below, with joy on their faces.
"Found it...it's here!" No. 04 muttered to himself.
No. 03 glanced at the King Turtle under his feet, then turned to look at the twenty or so agents wearing black cloaks behind him.
"Did you hear what I told you? Either you bring out the King's Treasure House within three days, or... you will be tortured to death by the poison I planted, and your soul will be destroyed."
More than twenty deities' agents lowered their heads, clenched their fists in silence, their eyes filled with unwillingness.
No. 03 and No. 04 looked at each other, and the next moment, two terrifying divine pressures came crashing down from the sky! !
