Chapter 1158 Night Treasure (2/2)

Han Sen poked his head inside and discovered the cave wasn't too big.

The place was semi-circular, like half a giant bowl buried far beneath the surface soil of the sanctuary. Upon further examination, Han Sen learned it really was a large bowl. And by his digging, Han Sen had unwittingly broken a part of it.

There, also, Han Sen discovered human remains. The clothes had almost wholly decomposed, and only the skeleton remained.

Dragon King was shocked to see this, and he blurted out, ”I was half-expecting to see a king spirit, not a bannerman.”

”How do you know it's a bannerman?” Han Sen asked.

”His clothes, see? It's a uniform that appears to have been crafted from Night Silk; it was custom for bannermen to wear such garments.” Dragon King flew over to the body and continued, ”This is a Night Bannerman. His forehead has an eye socket, see? Night Bannermen were Dark Cyclopses.”

”Weird. You told me she gave thirteen coins to her favorite people. Why would a bannerman be given one?” Han Sen frowned.

Dragon King explained, ”When she ascended to the Fourth God's Sanctuary, the faction she had established collapsed. Lotus Queen worked her hardest to achieve what she has a hold of now, and as for the thirteen king spirits... they went missing. I, nor anyone else, know what became of them.”

Han Sen approached the body and started to poke around it, seeing if there was anything he could loot. He was more than fine with looting the corpse of something that was non-human.

It was indeed Night Silk, but again, Han Sen was able to break the cloth with ease. The uniform was in tatters by the time Han Sen was done rifling through the pockets.

He was able to discover a few things.

There was an empty stone bottle, an old cloth, and a black cloak.

Everything was rotten there, except for the cloak. It appeared to have been created from basic linen, despite its spotless condition suggesting it should be something else.

Dragon King, when he saw the cloak, continued to be on the observative ball. He shouted, ”Oh my days! Why in the Sanctuaries would the Night Cloak be here, of all places?!”

”Is this good, then?” Han Sen asked.

”Night Empress wore this cloak herself. It was one of her favorite treasures.” Dragon King couldn't keep his eyes off the garment.

”Really? I can't see anything special about it, personally.” He wasn't quite willing to believe Dragon King's outlandish claim.

”If you could tell what this thing does, then it wouldn't be the Night Cloak.” Dragon King paused to compose himself, and then explained, ”Before she became an empress, she wore this cloak to go to Sky Palace. There, she assassinated Nine Emperor and achieved the title of empress for herself.”
