King of Assassins

Chapter 273: Treasure

Views:

Su Lingyi is a middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance, gentle and dignified look, like a kind teacher or doctor.

People who don't know her always have this wrong impression.

In fact, this person is the Lyra Sword Saint Su Lingyi, one of only three golden sword saints in the Poseidon star region.

With Su Lingyi's status, of course he didn't need to come to greet Hercules.

It's just that she and Pan are close friends, and she is Helen's teacher. She happened to be here this time, so she came with Pan.

Su Lingyi just wanted to see what kind of person Gao Xuan was! He could actually kill the Golden Sword Saint with the power of a Silver Sword Master!

This kind of thing has never been heard of in thousands of years.

Su Lingyi also saw some related videos, but it was difficult for him to make an accurate judgment.

A strong curiosity made her come along to join in the fun. Anyway, she was very familiar with Hercules, so there was no chance of losing face.

But Pan's sudden words surprised Su Lingyi.

Pan is a proud and somewhat mean person, but she is very knowledgeable. She is very accomplished in culture and art. As a hostess, she is also very hospitable and generous.

Overall, being an equal friend is quite qualified.

Su Lingyi didn't quite understand Pan's idea. Hercules openly brought Gao Xuan back, which actually meant that he tacitly acknowledged the relationship between Gao Xuan and Helen.

But Pan wanted to kill Gao Xuan. Isn't this a slap in the face of Hercules

Of this couple, Hercules is obviously the stronger one. Pan has many ideas and his own strengths. But it is not wise to openly oppose Hercules.

Was it for her nephew Parritt

Su Lingyi saw Parit behind Hercules. This handsome young man had a depressed look on his face, his eyes were unfocused, and he seemed to have lost his soul.

Su Lingyi felt a little sympathetic towards this young man. Parritt was very handsome, but he was far inferior to Gao Xuan, who was as radiant as a star.

In fact, Parritt standing next to Gao Xuan was just a human background. No one would notice him.

Not to mention Parritt, even the majestic Hercules seemed a little overshadowed by Gao Xuan.

Even if Gao Xuan stood behind him, he could still become the focus of everyone's attention.

Such an outstanding young man and Helen are a perfect match.

It is a crime that Pan wants to stop the two from being together.

Su Lingyi and Pan were close friends, but they were just close friends. She would not offend Hercules for Pan, and she had no interest in killing Gao Xuan.

Killing such a handsome young man is simply a crime.

She said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this."

Pan's expression changed slightly, but she didn't say anything. Su Lingyi was in a high position, so she couldn't do anything to him.

It's just that she has been trying so hard to make friends with him for so many years, but at the critical moment, Su Lingyi rejected her without even considering it.

This made Pan a little angry. She was very attentive to Su Lingyi, even trying to please him. After decades of hard work, this was the result.

She thought angrily: Golden Sword Saints are indeed extremely selfish guys. Hercules is like this, Wei Yue is like this, and Su Lingyi is also like this.

At critical moments, no one can be relied upon.

Pan regretted very much that he did not work hard when he was young, and now he is just a silver swordsman.

Even if he wanted to kill Gao Xuan, he was powerless.

She took Hercules' hand with a cold face, without even looking at Gao Xuan, let alone Helen.

This extremely beautiful daughter never listened to her since she was young. It was because Hercules doted on her too much that she became so willful, spoiled and disobedient.

Because of Pan's coldness, the welcoming ceremony on the spot was a bit more awkward.

Hercules also skipped introducing Gao Xuan and hurriedly took Pan to his luxury car.

The spacious carriage is like a small living room, covering more than 20 square meters.

There are not only sofas and tea tables, but also various works of art placed around.

Hercules lazily sat on the sofa, and he asked his wife puzzledly: "What's wrong with you?"

Pan said coldly: "What are you doing? Are you going to let Helen marry that pariah?"

"Gao Xuan will definitely become a golden swordsman in the future. This status is enough to match Helen."

Hercules said, "He has no family. If he marries Helen, he will only be able to serve our family."

"Then the golden bloodline will be tainted, and the Sea King Star Region will also be the surname of Gao. Do you want to see such a scene?"

Pan questioned angrily.

Hercules frowned slightly: "Gao Xuan married Helen, and they are our family. I have said that he has no family background. He alone cannot support a noble family. He can only work for us. The Sea King Star Region will always belong to the Golden Bloodline..."

Hercules thought for a moment and said, "Your nephew Parritt is too incompetent. He is not qualified to marry Helen. Just give up on this idea."

Pan's face turned extremely ugly.

It has always been her greatest wish to let Parritt marry Helen. As long as he marries Helen, their family can continue to be the master of the Sea King Star Region.

Helen went out for a while and found a poor and lowly man, which broke her plan, which she absolutely could not tolerate.

She and Hercules are a family, but their interests are not completely aligned.

To win Helen was to win the future inheritance of the Sea King Star Domain. Her thoughts on this matter were different from those of Hercules.

I just regret that Parritt is too incompetent and there is no way I can help him.

Pan thought for a moment and said, "My sister's family has an exceptionally outstanding son named Talos, who will soon become a golden warrior."

Pan reminded Hercules: "Talos has the pure golden blood of Zeus, so he is qualified to be Helen's husband."

Hercules frowned and said nothing. He was a little disgusted by his wife's selfishness. She only wanted to make her family gain more benefits, but did not consider the interests of the Sea King Star Region or his ideas.

In Pan's eyes, all the wealth and power in his family, including his daughter, should be inherited by her family members.

Anyway, he will die eventually. Anyway, he has no outstanding son.

All this wealth and power will eventually be inherited by others.

Hercules knew exactly what his wife was thinking, but he had no way of changing her.

He cares more about family inheritance, honor inheritance, and blood inheritance.

Of course Pan's family is of golden blood, which is why he married Pan. But this does not mean that he will transfer the inheritance rights to Pan's family.

As long as Helen becomes the Golden Sword Saint, she can protect her family's honor, wealth and power.

Hercules felt that Gao Xuan had no family background but was extremely talented, making him a very suitable candidate.

Unfortunately, Pan was too stubborn and cared too much about the interests of his family.

Hercules said: "I have arranged for Gao Xuan to go to Sea Dragon Star to quell the rebellion. As long as he can solve the problem of Sea Dragon Star, I will hold an engagement ceremony for him and Helen. Or even a formal wedding."

Pan stood up suddenly: "You are crazy, our golden bloodline that has been passed down for three thousand years cannot be defiled!"

"Golden blood without abilities is nothing but trash."

Hercules thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a chance. If Talos can solve the problem of Sea Dragon, I will marry Helen to him."

Pan's face was a little ferocious: "You actually let Talos and Gao Xuan compete, this is an insult to our bloodline!"

"I've given you the chance. It's up to you whether you choose it or not."

Hercules closed his eyes, "I have already decided on this matter. No need to say more."

Pan Meiyan's face was distorted. She stared at Hercules gloomily, her heart full of anger. She even wanted to kill this arrogant old man with a sword.

But she also knew that drawing the sword would only result in her death.

Hercules would become cold and ruthless when faced with threats. She couldn't challenge Hercules' bottom line. Besides, it was meaningless to draw the sword against a golden swordsman.

Pan was so angry that he refused to hold the dinner party.

The atmosphere in the Sea Palace also became very tense because of the manic Pan.

There are also people who don't care about the hostess's anger, such as Helen and Gao Xuan.

Helen had her own magnificent palace, covering an area of dozens of miles. The palace was so exquisite, complex and magnificent that Gao Xuan, who had the experience of two lives, was also amazed.

In terms of enjoyment, the Hercules family is among the best in the league.

Gao Xuan didn't quite understand this family's obsession with a magnificent palace.

The magnificent palace is magnificent, but as a home, it is too big and lacks the most basic warm atmosphere of a family.

Helen, however, liked her palace very much. She happily took Gao Xuan around and explained to him the various exquisite decorations of the palace.

It's probably the same emotion as when a child introduces his favorite toy to his friends.

Gao Xuan even felt a little sympathy for Helen. This child may have never had any friends in her life.

After following Helen around for a while, Helen also saw that Gao Xuan was not in a good mood. Her green eyes turned and said, "I will take you to see the rare things in our family. It is said that there are also ancestral artifacts..."

Gao Xuan smiled immediately: "Isn't this a bit bad?"

"You look so happy when you smile, and there's nothing bad in your smile."

Helen waved her hand proudly: "From now on, everything will be ours. What are you afraid of? It's okay to take it away!"

Gao Xuan nodded: "Yes, it will be ours from now on. Let's see what we are afraid of."

Helen led Gao Xuan into the underground passage and took a tube-type sliding cabin to the underground palace deep under the Sea Palace.

Even though it is an underground palace, the architectural style is still so magnificent.

Helen had very high authority and took Gao Xuan directly into the core treasure house of the underground palace.

In fact, it should be called an exhibition hall. Various strange objects are placed in glass cabinets, and there are thousands of strange objects in the huge exhibition hall.

Of course, the level of the rare items that can be exhibited like this is not very high. The highest is silver level. Moreover, there are almost no weapon-type rare items.

"A silver knife, accompanied by melodious classical music, will make cutting steak more delicious. Negative effect: The silver knife sometimes requires the owner to recite poetry loudly. If the poem cannot be recited in time, the knife will cut the finger, or make the steak taste terrible..."

There are all kinds of strange objects, with different shapes and functions. It is very interesting to look at them one by one.

Gao Xuan looked around for a while and found a black mechanical-style cicada.

This mechanical cicada has precision gears inside, but its overall style is a bit rough.

The contrast between roughness and precision makes this mechanical cicada very charming.

The data on it said that it was a broken mechanical iron cicada that occasionally made chirping sounds. Other than that, there was no other record.

Gao Xuan is of course particularly interested in cicadas. I wonder what the use of this mechanical iron cicada is

He said to Helen, "Can I take it out and have a look?"

Helen glanced at it nonchalantly and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

She pointed at the things in the hall and said, "Actually, they are all useless treasures. Some of them are dangerous, so they are placed here."

Helen hugged Gao Xuan's neck intimately and said, "Take whatever you like. You're welcome."

"Then I'll be welcome."

Gao Xuan asked Helen to open the glass cover and he took out the mechanical iron cicada.

Holding it in his hand, the six-winged cicada in Gao Xuan's sea of consciousness immediately made a clear chirp.

Gao Xuan's face remained expressionless. He turned the mechanical cicada over and engraved a line of secret text on its belly.

With his perception, he didn't find the secret code on the belly of the cicada until he got the mechanical iron cicada. Moreover, it was impossible to sense it directly through mental power.

This iron cicada is a bit weird.

For the first time, Gao Xuan discovered something that could not be seen by telepathy. He touched it lightly with his fingertips and could read the secret text through touch.

The secret code is actually a manifestation of the law of strange objects, and it is not engraved by humans.

How to decipher ciphertext is also a profound and extensive subject.

The same ciphertext will be interpreted differently by each person.

Different states, different times, and different places may lead to different interpretations of the same ciphertext.

Gao Xuan touched it with his fingertips, and the secret code appeared in his sea of consciousness. There were not many secret codes, but they were very complicated.

According to Gao Xuan's understanding, this secret message should be: machines are powerful, knowledge is sacred, and the soul is priceless.

Gao Xuan felt that this secret code was a little difficult to read, perhaps because he had not understood it correctly.

This is normal. Although he has strong spiritual power, he is not an expert in deciphering secret codes.

Helen found that Gao Xuan was very interested in this iron cicada. She introduced it, "I remember my father said that this mechanical cicada has no soul. Or it has lost its core and is just a dead object."

Hercules is a golden sword master and is born of golden blood. It is normal for him to be able to decipher the secret code.

Gao Xuan nodded, what Hercules said was correct.

This mechanical iron cicada might have a great history, or be a powerful artifact. But without its core, it is nothing more than a waste.

However, Gao Xuan felt that this mechanical iron cicada was very compatible with him, or to be more precise, with the six-winged celestial cicada.

Unfortunately, the six-winged cicada is just a strange creature after all. Although it has merged with his soul, it has no intelligence.

The six-winged celestial cicada responded to the mechanical iron cicada, but would not tell Gao Xuan why it reacted.

For the six-winged cicada, all reactions are based on natural instinct rather than wisdom.

The six-winged cicada has never been a truly intelligent life, even though it claims to be the most spiritual.

Gao Xuan held the mechanical iron cicada in his hand. He was already very satisfied with this unexpected gain today.

However, taking the cicada and leaving would inevitably arouse the suspicion of Hercules, or other people.

Besides, there is no need to rush. The strange things here are still worth seeing.

Gao Xuan looked at them one by one. Most of the rare items had detailed introductions. Just reading these introductions was very eye-opening.

There were some interesting strange objects, and Gao Xuan even took them out to play with them.

"This cover is very interesting. You can ask it simple questions with a pen and it will answer them. Unfortunately, it will remain silent for complex questions."

Helen pointed to a piece of old parchment and said, "I used it to do my homework when I was a child. After I turned ten, it was no longer usable..."

Helen was talking excitedly. Gao Xuan was silent for a while as he stared at the parchment. He calmly controlled the excitement in his heart and said, "It's really interesting. Can I take a look?"
