452 Cannot be Hatched (1/2)
”Someone actually is selling a Mythical Companion Egg?” Zhou Wen found it unbelievable.
An Sheng smiled and said, ”No one would sell one under ordinary circumstances, but this one is a little different.”
”How is it different? Is there anything special?” Zhou Wen asked, puzzled.
”Do you have any idea about Orphism of the West District?” An Sheng asked.
”A little. I roughly know that in the early times, there was the god, Chronos. It later became the God of Chaos, Chaos, and then the twelve Titans. Finally, it became the more famous twelve Olympus Gods, with Zeus being the leader. These are the few representative generations of gods in Orphism.” Zhou Wen knew quite a bit about this belief.
As he had received Chaos's heritage and it was also related to the Chaos Bead, Zhou Wen had previously read about such matters. Although he didn't study it in-depth, he had a general understanding of it.
”It's not bad that you already know these things. Few people from the East District typically study the myths of the West District. They probably only know about Zeus and the other gods.” An Sheng paused before continuing, ”The Cape family discovered a temple left behind by the dualism god, Phanes, in the mortal realm. His status is probably the same as the Pangu of our East District's system of gods. Although it's a little different, you get what I mean. Anyway, according to the myths and legends in the West District, all the god-kings have to gain his approval before they become the king of gods.
”The Cape family obtained the recognition of the temple. They chose one of the three Companion Eggs in the temple, which is this Invisibility Cloak that is being put up for auction,” An Sheng said.
”That's not right. Since it's being auctioned now, it means that no one has ever hatched it. How do you know that it's Invisibility Cloak?” Zhou Wen asked curiously.
”The reason they know that it's Invisibility Cloak is that the Cape family has formerly hatched that Mythical Companion Egg before. After that, they gained the ability to be invisible,” An Sheng said with a faint smile. ”When people obtain powers that exceed the rules, their true colors show. The person from the Cape family used his powers of invisibility to do countless dirty things. He went overboard and even dared to touch the members of the six families. In the end, he was discovered by the Zhang family and he was exposed.”
”This matter is a scandal of the six families. The Cape family has been slain by the Zhang family as well. However, when they killed him, the Zhang family used some unknown method to turn the Invisibility Cloak to a Companion Egg form. It didn't vanish along with that person and has been kept all this while.”
”The Zhang family naturally doesn't lack money, but the Invisibility Cloak Companion Egg isn't a real Companion Egg. It was unknown what method they used to turn the Invisibility Cloak into a Companion Egg. No one can hatch it. In the beginning, no one knew that there was a problem with the Invisibility Cloak Companion Egg. The Cape family paid a huge sum of resources to get the Companion Egg back from the Zhang family. However, when they got it back, they couldn't hatch it.
”Later, the Invisibility Cloak exchanged a few hands a few times. Although there's a problem, it's a Mythical Companion Egg and has magical invisibility. Everyone wants to give it a try. Everyone thinks that they care capable of doing something others can't, but they ultimately realize they can't do it either. From the six families to ordinary families, it has changed multiple hands. No one has managed to hatch the Invisibility Cloak. However, don't think of picking it up on the cheap. There are plenty of confident people, so the price will definitely be unimaginable if you want to bid on the cloak.”
”Can my Essence Crystals be used in the auction?” Zhou Wen asked.
”Of course they can, but they're not convenient. How about this? I'll help you bid for the Invisibility Cloak Companion Egg. After I get it, you can sell me the equivalent of Essence Crystals at market price.” An Sheng thought for a moment before saying, ”The amount needed at the auction will definitely not be small. I don't know if it will exceed your expectations, so you have to go with me. If you think it's possible, I'll bid. If you feel that it's too expensive, we can just give it up.”
”To the West District?” Zhou Wen was somewhat worried.
”Don't worry. I have my own arrangements. There won't be any problems. Just treat it as a vacation. There are many famous dimensional zones in the West District where the auction is held. You can also pay them a visit when the time comes.” An Sheng could understand Zhou Wen's worry.
