Chapter 1850 Purple Copper Palace (1/2)
A group of people followed Deep Blue Viscount as he led the way to the palace. Suddenly, Han Sen felt as if something on his back was moving.
Han Sen pretended to fetch some water, so he could reach around and feel his back. It was the box with the steel feather inside. It was moving.
Han Sen hadn't told Captain Wood he had found a steel feather on Wind Viscount's body. He had put it in his backpack, worried that it might cause trouble back in the base if he left it unattended. Since it was now moving around for no reason, it appeared that his worry had been valid.
The further they walked, the shakier the box became. Luckily, there was a bag covering it, so no one had noticed it yet.
Walking through a number of stone halls, they soon arrived at a plaza. Scattered around it were a number of crumpled skeletons with their skulls blown wide open. There was also a big black egg there, too.
Deep Blue Viscount was scared of the big black egg. His legs went soft as he stood right outside the plaza.
Captain Wood, on the other hand, looked delighted. He commanded the Nobles to go forward. Even Deep Blue Viscount, whose resolve had dissolved, was pulled forward by the Marquise.
One of the Marquise threatened Han Sen, trying to get him to move across the plaza. Together, they all approached the big black egg.
Han Sen did not think that the egg was the reason for the feather's shaking. When he got closer to the big black egg, the steel feather did not have a stronger reaction. It only grew stronger when he moved forward.
”What is this steel feather? Is it a feather of a Raven, perhaps? Or is it one of their crafted treasures?” Han Sen guessed to himself.
”If you've found the source, then go ahead and break it,” Han Sen said.
Captain Wood coldly looked at Han Sen and said, ”Break it? How about you go ahead and give it a try?”
Han Sen pulled out Ghost Teeth Knife and gave the egg a firm whack. A metallic noise rang out, amidst a flurry of sparks dashed across the shell of the egg. Even so, no mark was left.
Han Sen was shocked, and he said, ”This egg is that hard?”
He could not use Ghost Teeth Knife's full power. But with the sharpness, he should still have been able to leave a mark on Earl geno armaments.
It was just an egg. There was no mark at all, though. It was a testament to the shell's sturdiness.
”Captain Wood, can you destroy it?” Black Steel asked.
”Little Master, while I am a Duke, I cannot destroy it. The only way to do this is to move the item back to the palace,” Captain Wood said politely.
”You think your lie will fool the kid?” Xie Qing King smiled.
Captain Wood's expression hardened as Black Steel immediately asked, ”Captain Wood, why did my father send you here? For what purpose?” Black Steel was not stupid. He knew Black-Moon King wouldn't have sent a Duke all this way just to save Han Sen.
Captain Wood quietly said, ”Little Master, I am only here to carry out my orders. I don't know anything more.”
