Imperial Treasure

Chapter 497 - 574 Pharaoh’s Record

The old man didn’t notice any change in Sui Yi’s expression before he said, "Yeah... after all, it was indeed our fault, on this side of Midland..."

He found it somewhat difficult to speak, perhaps reluctant to admit it, but he knew it well.

Hee hee~ Back then, when the Wizard Tribe of Midland split, a group of people betrayed us and eventually fled to Cambodia.

That was roughly the process.

Gong Jiu and Flower Demon chuckled.

"That’s not a wizard’s curse, let alone a curse from the Wizard Tribe of Midland."

With a light comment from Sui Yi, the old man was stunned, and Gong Jiu and the others were also surprised.

Not?

"Impossible, our ancestors have always..."

The old wizard was about to speak.

Knock knock knock.

A knocking sound came from outside.

What rhythm was that knocking?

Little Apple.

You are my little, oh little apple...

Gong Jiu and others: "..."

Who could it be in the middle of the night?

And this guy even bypassed the front yard’s gate, coming directly to the living room door.

It was evident that the visitor was no ordinary person.

Fatty Gao, clutching a gun, ran to open the door, and as the door swung open—

"Hello, everyone~ Good evening~"

Frank’s face and his imposing body came into everyone’s view just like that.

Everyone remained silent.

Frank coughed and said, "Miss Sui, actually I am here to... ah~"

His expression froze there, frightened, he stepped back, while Kerry and the other two frowned, following his gaze.

Oh my god.

Everyone took a step back in fright.

By the stairs, Natasha was slowly descending, leaning on the railing...

Elegant, dignified, dominant, chilly?

All embodied in the Gangster Rabbit squatting in a pit poking poop.

Hee hee~ Wrong turn?

Quickly, Frank and his companions took their seats on the couch.

The couch in the middle held the Black Wizard who had tried to kill them eight hours ago.

Across from him sat the noble and cold Rose Prince, dressed in Gangster Rabbit poking poop pajamas.

This scene combined roughness and freshness in various FEELs, how satisfying and thrilling it was.

Gurgle, Fatty Gao took a sip of water.

Frank coughed again and said, "Everyone, I’m sorry for disturbing you so late."

"It’s good that you know," Gong Jiu said.

Damn, how can we continue this?

Frank coughed again, glanced at the Black Wizard who was continuously glaring coldly at him, squeezed his legs together, and said, "Oh, of course, I think my timing is just right. We can all open up and have a good chat, what do you think?"

No one spoke, Natasha glanced at him, "It’s better for you to get to the point soon, Frank."

"I’ve told you, my name is Frank... Alright, I just wanted to say today... I was attacked."

Hee hee~

Gong Jiu and the others seemed not surprised at all.

It was apparent.

The four of them were in a mess.

"I was wondering if the Forbidden Forest attacked this Black Wizard gentleman for the Eye of the God, then what were you guys attacked for?"

Flower Demon said softly.

"Unless there is something on you, Frank, that they must silence by death, or they want information that you seem not likely to tell us at the Sui family, huh?"

Frank’s gaze flickered, looking back and forth at Gong Jiu and Flower Demon, the Left and Right Protectors.

Meanwhile, in the middle, Sui Yi had already sliced an apple, and Gong Jiu both reached out to take it.

Sui Yi gave it to Yi.

Gong Jiu and the others: "..."

Oh~~ With the Main Empress here, they were just concubines.

"This... Your Highness Natasha," Frank looked at Natasha.

She looked back at him, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Hee hee," Frank laughed like a rooster, squinting his eyes and said to Sui Yi, "Could it be that Princess Natasha has already shared her secret with you? If she has spoken, then I have no need to speak, but if she hasn’t, aren’t you willing to help her out anyway, so..."

He hadn’t finished speaking when—

"It’s simple," Natasha slightly lifted her chin up, "because I am prettier than you."

What a resoundingly justifiable reason that shook the heavens and moved the spirits.

Frank found himself at a loss for words.

And as fellow advocates of good looks, Gong Jiu and the others nodded subconsciously.

"This... Your Excellency," Frank looked at Sui Yi.

Sui Yi nodded, "Hmm."

She indeed was much prettier.

Ha!

Frank rolled his eyes as Kerry and the others silently looked down and sipped their tea.

You Chinese people are just too realistic!

"What happened to being simple and honest?"

"Well then, here goes. Miss Natasha, don’t blame me for saying too much and revealing your secrets."

Natasha sneered coldly.

Frank pondered for a moment, straightened his posture, while Gong Jiu and the others arranged sunflower seeds and assorted beverages and drinks...

The story was about to begin.

One second.

Frank moved his hand.

He tapped his fingers on his shoulders and then brought his hands together in prayer.

"Most compassionate Jesus..."

Gong Jiu: "..."

--------

After the prayer, Frank said, "This matter actually started before my trip to the secret spot in Cambodia. Hey, Old Wizard, stop looking at me like that. After all, I was a bit innocent. Before going to your place, I got a secret scroll inside a pyramid in Egypt, the Pharaoh’s Record. This record detailed an event, that inside the secret spot in Cambodia, there was a huge historical treasure hidden. Although it didn’t mention how much treasure there was, the words used were quite tempting. There was even a map."

He hadn’t finished when the Black Wizard interjected in shock, "What did you say? A map?"

"Yeah, how else do you think I entered your secret spot? Honestly, that place of yours is no ordinary danger, even more bizarre than The Pentagon. I avoided many dangers with the map and still encountered an unexpected disaster in the end. That Divine Bow, absolutely terrifying—it overwhelmed many of us without even a shot. Only a few of us survived."

Frank’s tone was full of lament and fear. The Old Wizard sneered, "That’s our tribe’s strongest Guardian Artifact. You can guess its power from how the Lord used it previously. You should be grateful your lives aren’t that valuable."

Frank said, "Yeah! Your artifact, but we still got hold of it. Damn, get your bugs back."

Seeing the two about to tear into each other again, the gravely ill Old Wizard wished he could shove Frank into a toilet a few times.

Sui Yi finally spoke up.

"That’s not true."

What?

Everyone looked at her.

"Sui Yi, do you mean that Hou Yi’s Sun-shooting Divine Bow isn’t real?"

Sui Yi swiftly sliced an apple with her fruit knife.

Gong Jiu and the others could finally eat it.

Just took a bite.

"It’s not exactly fake... it can only be used once."

Spit!

Many choked.

What’s that? So, the Divine Bow is a fake, counterfeit, disposable product?

The Black Wizard widened his eyes. This time, he didn’t act out of anger because the speaker was Sui Yi.

"My Lord, how is that possible? This Divine Bow is clearly ours..."

Sui Yi didn’t speak, but everyone present knew she wasn’t someone who joked. Her judgment was also very accurate.

Especially since she indeed was the only person who had used that Divine Bow.

The Old Wizard looked at Frank, whose expressions changed, finally saying, "No wonder I said it turned to stone afterward."

Stone?

"Right before we were attacked, I had just been checking those treasures. Everything else was fine except for this bow, which turned to stone. I sensed trouble then and had already wanted to come and ask Miss Sui, but that’s when we were attacked. We had to run out without the chance to take those treasures with us."

Frank stroked his chin, reflecting, "So the artifacts from China are also disposable, huh."

This comment irritated many.

"What are you talking about! What Sui Yi meant was that this thing isn’t the real Divine Bow, just a forgery, but it possessed some of the power of the Divine Bow, got it?"

Gong Jiu explained discontentedly.

"Okay, okay, my mistake."

"But now, the question is, Miss Sui, are you willing to help us..."

Frank looked at Sui Yi eagerly.

Sui Yi countered him, "Help how? To overcome the Forbidden Forest? You might as well be honest. So far, including me, everyone has been within their plans, including the two groups of people who came to my place tonight, likely as they pleased."

What!

Frank jumped up, unable to contain himself.

Sui Yi, leaning against the couch, spoke lightly, "The Jin I fought with before didn’t use his full strength. The reason he came here was also to test my ability and to ensure that I would be forced to intervene."

Being attacked and then counterattacking was the instinct and habit of many.

Being attacked unreasonally tonight, she was more likely to get involved.

--The Forbidden Forest was tempting her to act.

"I thought so, no wonder that Lin acted like a lunatic and suddenly stopped attacking. He had the time and ability to kill us and take this old man away."

Gong Jiu recalled the earlier incident with a hint of amusement, "I thought it was because of your bird."

She casually pointed at the bird’s nest.

Sui Yi smiled slightly, not saying anything, while Yi just pouted.

It really was because of that bird.

So Sui Yi, what do you think? Gong Jiu and others were puzzled inside but didn’t ask directly.

Neither Frank nor this wizard were easy characters to deal with.

Each keeping secrets as if.

Holding things back.

"Your Excellency, you might have seen that the motives of the Forbidden Forest might also include you. I think, in this case, you may not really be able to stay out of it."

Frank seemed somewhat confident.

Sui Yi looked at him and said, "And then?"

Uh... back to the beginning.

Help how?

Frank’s thumbs circled each other, his eyes flickering, while Gong Jiu and others could tell.

This old scoundrel had a motive.

"Actually, I hadn’t finished speaking earlier. The Pharaoh’s Record I got then also mentioned another thing. It’s about what you told the Commander of the Imperial Guards before, that the Eye of the God was just a part of a statue, but it already possesses a terrifying power. This power is also what the Forbidden Forest wants to obtain, and what the Imperial Guards are after."

Bringing up the Imperial Guards again? (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to recommend tickets, monthly tickets on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
