According to the Great Sage, the ancient nobles who had been passed down for countless years had a lot of World Tree branches in their hands.
Some were completely idle in the Treasure House.
If they could come up with high-value bait and had strength as a guarantee, they would have a chance to exchange with these ancient nobles for the World Tree branches.
The Great Sage believed that Tang Yu's group, who had encountered countless opportunities and established the Tree Shade Entertainment City, must have some good things on hand.
Although he had nothing on him, the knowledge in his mind was still of high value. He could use it to trade with the ancient nobles.
As for the commandments of the royal family and the Great Sage, not to pass some core knowledge to outsiders, the Great Sage couldn't care less.
The world was about to be destroyed. Even if the ancestors were still alive, they wouldn't blame him.
However.
Tang Yu decisively rejected the Great Sage's proposal.
He wasn't being stingy.
With the nobles' virtue, even if the Great Sage's proposal was feasible, how many World Tree branches could they get from trading alone?
How much time would it take?
This was not like online shopping, where one click would do the trick.
At least the two sides had to test each other, constantly wrangling with valuable items, and they couldn't rule out the possibility of a fight. For the great nobles, the rule of no violence in the capital was the same as nothing.
If Tang Yu had to describe it, it would be troublesome.
"You could've just been reckless. Why did you have to make a complicated plan?" `??) "…"
… …
Reckless was reckless, but Tang Yu wouldn't underestimate the ancient nobles.
An array with the World Tree branch as the core could greatly increase strength. He had already seen it in Ghale City.
Unlike Ghale City, which had only collected 'human popularity' for two or three hundred years.
The ancient nobles in the capital had a wider territory. Their foundation was hundreds or even thousands of years old. Their array was also more advanced. In addition to the 'human popularity' array, he believed there were all kinds of large arrays that could restrict the enemy. In the Aino Continent, the technology tree was almost all on the array.
To be on the safe side, he went to the White Frost Earl's mansion again and asked the Earl to try to activate the array to give the veteran transcendent a boost.
He gradually had a plan in mind.
"There are still some things that need to be prepared."
He estimated.
Unless he could directly crush them, the fluctuations of the battle between the transcendent would be easily detected.
They already knew the secret of the royal family, but at this stage, they still needed to avoid alerting the mastermind behind the scenes. This was also the reason why the Great Sage suggested attacking from the side.
Tang Yu didn't unconditionally trust the Great Sage, the seemingly harmless old man.
He found an excuse to let the Great Sage stroll around the Tree Shade Entertainment City.
Using the ability to distinguish between friend and foe within the range of the territory, he soon saw that there was a particularly dazzling green light above the Great Sage's head … This made him feel relieved.
…
Two days later.
The capital looked calm on the surface, but there were some undercurrents surging in the dark.
In less than ten days, it would be the sacrificial ceremony. Whether it was the inner city or the outer city, everyone started to get busy.
"Thank you for your generosity."
"I just need to come a few more times during the sacrificial ceremony."
"That's right. As long as we participate in the sacrificial ceremony, everyone will be able to get quite a bit of food. Our days will be much easier."
On the streets, commoners hurried to and fro.
Even freelance mercenaries wearing leather and chainmail armor were busy preparing for the ceremony. The Mercenary Guild had corresponding missions, and the rewards were all provided by the wealthy royal family.
Tang Yu, wearing a black cloak, strolled down the street.
He opened his personal domain and squinted his eyes slightly. Faintly, he could see the commoners walking through the streets. An invisible aura emerged from their bodies and slowly drifted into the sky.
This wasn't a real power, but it could be used as a nutrient for the World Tree.
And now, the royal family led the sacrificial ceremony, not only did they not collect money from the commoners, but they also distributed food, making many poor commoners grateful.
The soil that originally nourished the World Tree, in turn, could also be used to devour the World Tree.
After a few glances, Tang Yu stepped forward and continued walking.
This was the inner city. After turning a few streets, in the distance, he could see the row of buildings in front of him, the tall courtyard walls, and the imposing mansion gate.
This was a Marquis' mansion.
It covered an area of at least 10,000 square meters.
At a glance, there was no end in sight.
"Marquis Bolton's mansion. Its strength is below average among the Marquises in the capital."
Tang Yu took the information from the Marquis' mansion and glanced at it line by line. "There are five famous Transcendents in the Marquis' mansion. Among them, Marquis Bolton has just become a senior Transcendent not long ago. His strength is similar to the Frostwhite Countess. But it is said that there is also a senior Transcendent who has lived for seven or eight hundred years.
These five Transcendents spend most of their time in seclusion training in the mansion. In other words, if you disturb the people from the Marquis's Mansion, you will have to face these five Transcendents, the kind that have a buff. "
His gaze shifted to the side. There were two figures wearing the same black cloak.
One of them wore a skull mask on his face, while the other wore a pair of large sunglasses and had a cigarette in his mouth, puffing out clouds of smoke.
These two were Gray Blade and Shay.
As the Lord, Tang Yu had no intention of doing it himself. It was his first time robbing, so he wasn't very skilled. To be cautious, he came to the vicinity of the Marquis' mansion.
After explaining, Gray Blade and Shay pulled up their hoods, their figures flashed and disappeared without a trace.
… …
Inside the Marquis Bolton's mansion.
There were quite a few guards, dressed in fine rune armors, carrying long swords and small round shields, patrolling back and forth in the mansion.
Five people in a squad, 50 people in a platoon.
The platoon was often responsible for patrolling a certain area. Among them, the platoon leader had the strength of a high-rank awakened.
This was the foundation of a great noble.
From time to time, freelance mercenaries sneaked into the mansion of a small noble. But for a great noble like the Marquis Bolton, freelance mercenaries didn't have the ability to sneak in. As soon as they stepped into the Marquis' mansion, they would be discovered by the patrolling guards and killed immediately.
But today.
The two figures swaggered as they walked. A group of guards passed by them not far away, but they didn't notice them at all.
"Your Shadow Sneak is not bad. You can create your own shadow sneak under the sun."
Shay sighed and looked down. At this time, there was a black shadow under their feet. Not only did it completely conceal their figures and aura, but even their voices couldn't be heard.
Sure enough, it was a divine stealth skill.
Shay didn't envy it. He only admired the art of explosion.
"Marquis Bolton's treasury should be in front. I don't know if there is a branch of the World Tree inside."
"Let's go in and see." Gray Blade said lightly.
As they got closer to the treasury, the number of patrolling guards increased. It was as if there was a sentry every few steps. Different from the guards who were chatting and laughing outside, the guards around the treasury had solemn expressions, and the weakest among them had the aura of a peak ninth layer.
But it was useless.
Even a peak awakened couldn't detect Gray Blade's presence. Shay walked past them.
The two walked to the front of the treasury.
A door made of extraordinary metal was tightly closed.
There was a faint light of runes flashing.
Gray Blade raised his head. "It's a bit troublesome. Although I have some skills to go through walls, I can't go through this door. The surrounding walls are the same. They are engraved with high-level runes."
"Then …" Shay thought for half a second. "Let's break it by force. It doesn't matter if we're exposed. Don't tell me you want to complete the mission by sneaking in?"
Gray Blade nodded slightly and directly removed the Shadow Sneak that enveloped them.
Feeling the aura of a living person.
The guard who was closest to him suddenly turned his head and opened his mouth, about to shout.
Suddenly.
The shadow behind the guard seemed to come alive. It suddenly elongated, like a black snake wrapped around the guard's neck and twisted.
Crack.
Crack.
Whether near or far, the more than 200 elite hunters stationed in the treasury all paused. The next moment, they fell to the ground with the same action.
Gray Blade shrugged, "Who said we can't break it by force?"
He directly picked up a set of anti-alarm device developed by Tree Shade and stuck it on the four corners of the treasury's metal door. The anti-alarm device began to operate. A faint light shot out, connecting into a rectangular frame. Inside the square frame, even if the door was destroyed, the internal alarm device would not be triggered.
Then.
Gray Blade pulled out his dagger. A faint source power halo spread out, and he waved his hand.
Silently, the alloy door made of high-grade metal cracked open a huge gap, enough to accommodate two people to enter.
Ten minutes later.
The treasury was emptied. Gray Blade and Shay directly used a City Return Scroll to the secret base in the suburbs of the Royal Capital.
"Unfortunately, there's no branch of the World Tree. Let's hurry to the next treasury."
The Marquis's mansion was huge, and the treasures accumulated over countless years were even more innumerable.
There was more than one treasury in the mansion.
Gray Blade and Shay learned the location of some of the treasury through the intelligence they had investigated in advance and the news they learned when they sneaked into the mansion.
The second place.
The third place.
Although they still haven't found the branch of the World Tree, they still had a good harvest. Even if they didn't count the equipment, just the various precious minerals and medicinal herbs were worth more than 10 million spirit stones. Many of them couldn't be found on Earth!
Tang Yu was so shocked that he didn't stay outside the Marquis's mansion. He directly returned to the base and counted the harvest.
At this moment.
Gray Blade and Shay also arrived in front of the Marquis's mansion's fourth treasury.
This treasury was located deep underground and was even more heavily guarded.
The two gradually approached the treasury. Suddenly, runes lit up around the passage. Gray Blade was forced out before he could release his Shadow Sneak.
Outside, there was also a noise.
The corpses of the guards that Gray Blade had infiltrated before were finally found, alarming the entire Marquis's mansion.
The alarm was ringing loudly.
In the distance, one, two, three transcendent auras rose and quickly approached.
The two were completely exposed.
Gray Blade, who had been advocating sneaking in, touched his nose and looked at Shay, "You win. It seems we can only solve this through violent means."
Shay ignored the guards guarding the underground treasury. He was too lazy to fight them. His gun turned into a hand cannon and directly blasted a big hole.
The two soared into the air.
Several transcendents flew from a distance and locked on to them with their auras.
Shay took a drag on his cigarette, "Wouldn't it be better if I did this earlier? I can use these people to test my recently created explosive art."
