"I really want to go and check it out, but the Jewel Kingdom probably won't allow it!"
Unusual tomb chambers often represented extraordinary wealth. A tomb guarded by such a powerful rune mechanism would certainly contain extraordinary treasures. Among the funerary objects, there were likely to be many precious items.
Gray wanted to go and check it out, but he knew that such an unusual tomb would be closely guarded by the Jewel Kingdom. They would definitely not allow people from other kingdoms to explore it.
"The royal family probably has more detailed information than I do. I'll go to the Royal City and check it out!"
Gray used spatial teleportation to arrive at the Purple Moon Kingdom's Royal City.
"You're here. It seems that you've also gotten the news!"
Gray met Sophia, Francis, and Hillya at her residence. Francis greeted Gray with a smile. He seemed to have expected Gray's arrival.
"Yes, I did hear some news, but it wasn't very detailed. That's why I'm here to check it out."
Gray admitted generously.
He had some guesses about this tomb chamber. It was likely that there was something he wanted inside, so he was eager to know the Jewel Kingdom's investigation of this tomb.
He directly asked the question in his mind.
"Is this tomb a tomb from the Empire period?"
With the current rune level of the four kingdoms, it was very difficult to create a rune mechanism that could seriously injure even a King Stage master. Therefore, he guessed that this tomb was most likely a tomb from the Empire period when the rune level was more prosperous.
The Empire period was a period of unprecedented prosperity. Not only was the rune level more prosperous, but other aspects were also extremely prosperous. In such a tomb chamber, there was likely to be the key to upgrading his bloodline to Magic Light level — the blood of a Magic Light level Blood Fiend.
This was not impossible. Generally speaking, the tombs of King Stage masters were already built when they were alive. Many times, some King Stage masters who felt that they were nearing the end of their lives would live in the tomb chamber until they died.
For example, the Purple Thunder King, the owner of the Tomb of the Kings that Gray had investigated for the first time, had lived in the tomb before his death, and had finally welcomed the moment of his death.
Under such circumstances, there would definitely be daily necessities left behind in the tomb. It wasn't impossible for there to be Magic Light ranked blood fiends' blood.
"It is indeed a graveyard from the era of the Empire."
Sophia nodded, confirming Gray's guess.
She was wearing a long purple dress, and her sitting posture was elegant and natural. There was a slightly serious expression on her face.
"What is the progress of the Jewel Kingdom's investigation of this tomb?"
A thought flashed through Gray's mind as he asked.
"There's no progress at the moment."
Sophia shook her head.
"Hmm, there's no progress?"
Gray's expression changed to one of surprise.
Although the King Stage master sent by the Royal Family of the Jewel Kingdom to investigate was seriously injured, Gray did not think that the Jewel Kingdom could not do anything about this tomb.
Although the power of a King Stage rune mechanism was extremely strong, there was a thrice-transformed King Stage master in the Jewel Kingdom. How could the King Stage master fail to destroy this rune mechanism?
"This rune mechanism is very unusual."
Francis continued.
"At the center, the power of the attack is comparable to a thrice-transformed King Stage master's attack. Even Jennifer, a thrice-transformed King Stage master of the Jewel Kingdom, failed when she tried to force her way in."
"It's actually so powerful."
Gray's face was full of shock.
He realized that he had severely underestimated the power of the rune mechanism in this tomb. At first, he thought that the most powerful rune mechanism would be comparable to a thrice-transformed King Stage master. He did not expect it to be able to block the attack of a thrice-transformed King Stage master.
"How can it be so powerful?
Were the rune mechanisms of the Empire so powerful? "
Gray had limited knowledge about the Empire. Although he knew that the rune mechanisms of the Empire were very powerful, he did not know how powerful they were. He did not expect to encounter one that was so powerful.
"No, even during the Empire, rune mechanisms that could be powerful to this extent were rare."
Hillya shook her head gently.
"The identity of the tomb's owner was probably very unusual during the Empire. He was either a Magic Light Level master or an important member of the Empire's Royal Family."
"A Magic Light Level master or an important member of the Empire's Royal Family?"
Gray was shocked. If the tomb's owner was really one of these two identities, then his identity was really unusual.
Needless to say, a Magic Light Level master was one of the top masters during the Empire. His identity in the Empire was certainly unusual.
As an important member of the Empire's Royal Family, this identity was also unusual. As a powerful country that once unified the entire world, one could imagine how powerful it was. An important figure of such a country naturally had an unusual identity.
"This is just our guess, but in our opinion, the possibility is very high."
Francis said.
"If something happened to such a tomb, the wealth it contains is probably unimaginable. It's a pity that we don't have a chance to explore it."
Gray sighed.
"No, it's not that we don't have a chance. In my opinion, the opportunity should come soon. If nothing unexpected happens, the Jewel Kingdom should invite the Purple Moon Kingdom to explore it together."
Francis smiled mysteriously.
"Invite the Purple Moon Kingdom to explore it together?
That's impossible, right?
Even if the Jewel Kingdom did not have the ability to explore it, they would still seal it and slowly find a way to crack the rune mechanism. They wouldn't invite other kingdoms, right? "
Gray's face was full of doubts.
"Under normal circumstances, that would be the case. But have you ever thought about how the Flame Kingdom would react if they knew that such a tomb appeared in the Jewel Kingdom?"
Francis smiled meaningfully.
"The Flame Kingdom?"
Gray was enlightened.
Indeed, with the Flame Kingdom's strong style, they would never not be tempted by such a precious tomb in the Jewel Kingdom.
The Flame Kingdom would most likely invade the Jewel Kingdom because of this, and the Jewel Kingdom would most likely invite the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Flame Kingdom to explore the tomb together to fight against the Flame Kingdom.
Knowing that there might be a turn for the better, Gray simply stayed in the Imperial City and prepared to follow the Purple Moon Kingdom's royal family to explore the tomb together after they were invited.
Asking the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom to bring him along was a small request that the Purple Moon Kingdom's royal family would definitely agree to.
Of course, the tomb this time was very dangerous. Even someone as strong as him might be in danger if he was not careful. Therefore, he would be extra careful and would never explore the tomb without absolute confidence.
As expected, a few days later, the Purple Moon Kingdom's royal family received an invitation from the Jewel Kingdom to explore the tomb together.
The Purple Moon Kingdom's royal family immediately sent out a team.
There were five King-level experts in the team, including Gray, Francis, Sophia, Hillya, and other younger members of the Purple Moon Kingdom's royal family. There were also Rune Masters who were highly skilled in runes.
One of them was Master Herman, whom Gray had met before. He was highly skilled in runes and was also invited by the Purple Moon Kingdom's royal family.
Although the speed of the desolate-level blood beasts was not as fast as Gray's teleportation, it still took them two days to reach the Gemstone Kingdom's territory. After that, it took them another day to arrive at the location of the tomb and see the tomb.
"Although I've heard that it's extremely huge, I still can't help but feel shocked when I see it with my own eyes!"
Looking at the tomb, Sophia sighed. Gray and the others felt the same way.
This was a huge black tomb. It was extremely huge, spanning more than 100 meters from left to right. It was like a small mountain.
There were stone stairs, beautiful relief sculptures, and huge and towering tombstones …
There were no traces of artificial inlays in the tomb. It was obvious that the entire tomb was carved out of an extremely huge rune material, black jade.
Although black jade could only be considered as an ordinary rune material among rune materials, such a huge piece of it was still extremely valuable.
Not to mention the precious items that might exist in the tomb, the entire tomb itself was already worth an astronomical amount of money.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort attracted the attention of Gray and the other young people. Gray and the others looked over and saw that there were many tents not far from the tomb. In front of the tents, several young people were looking at them.
Among these young men, one of them had golden hair that was as dazzling as the sun. His face was handsome, and there was not even a trace of imperfection on his face.
However, at this moment, he was looking at Gray and the others with a cold gaze. This person was the second prince of the Flame Kingdom, Niklos Blaze.
When he saw Gray and the others looking at him, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Hum!
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure spread out from the other party's body and landed on Gray and the others. This kind of pressure was actually coercion.
"Coercion?
King-level coercion? "
Feeling the coercion from the other party, Gray and the others could not help but be shocked.
However, they were the best of the younger generation after all. Even the weakest of them had reached the Brute Level, so they would not be forced to the ground by the other party's coercion.
Even so, some of the young people of the Purple Moon Kingdom's royal family had sweat on their foreheads. This was a natural reaction of the body under the terrifying coercion.
Only Gray, Sophia, Francis, and Shillya, who were all at the Desolation Level or above, could face such coercion without flinching.
Of course, although they were not affected by the coercion, they were still shocked. Francis said with a slightly surprised expression.
"Niklos Blaze is already a King-level master!"
As far as he knew, Niklos Blaze was only a little over 26 years old. He did not expect him to be a King-level master. The age at which he became a King-level master was even younger than the youngest King-level master of the Purple Moon Kingdom's royal family.
