Chapter 154: Chapter 103: Dimension Merchant·Elf Travel Merchant

The ice sculpture stood emitting cold air, and Gu Shanhai casually shattered these red hats, then skillfully looted the bodies.

Unfortunately, there was nothing worthwhile, all just junk, wasting his time.

Luckily, it wasn’t completely fruitless. He still found some clues, this noble family’s crest; after examining it carefully, Gu Shanhai didn’t recognize it—it was useless information, hence he hadn’t collected it in his past life, nor had he inquired about it in this one.

After all, it was just a minor noble family. How could Gu Shanhai possibly pay attention to it?

After searching the castle, he conducted further investigations, but found nothing, which puzzled him.

According to the divination, it was supposed to be "Little Ji." How could there be no movement at all? Thus, he performed Prophetic Divination once again, to the same result.

"I’ve looked everywhere, and ’Detect Secret Door’ hasn’t responded at all."

With no response from Detect Secret Door, it meant there was no secret chamber unless the other party had placed the secret door outside. At first, it seemed plausible, but who would put a secret chamber’s door on the outside rather than inside?

"Could it be that they actually played a reverse trick on me?"

Skeptically, Gu Shanhai searched through the castle again, still finding nothing. He did, however, find numerous skeletal remains.

Had these skeletons been whole, Gu Shanhai might have considered collecting some for future use, but, unfortunately, they were all fragmented, and he had to abandon the idea.

"This little matter shouldn’t require me to use my lifespan for divination, should it..." Gu Shanhai appeared somewhat helpless. He had initially wanted to search on his own, after all, because using lifespan for divination started at a cost of one day’s lifespan, and although he had plenty, he didn’t want to waste it.

It was a pity he hadn’t found anything, so now he was weighing whether it was worth using.

If it were "great luck," he would not hesitate. But it was only "Little Ji," indicating nothing of significant value.

"Well, might as well use it. Lifespan isn’t going to breed offspring if I keep it." Gu Shanhai ultimately decided to use it, in a way cashing in on the future. His lifespan could still increase; if he missed whatever "Little Ji" was referring to, it probably wasn’t important.

Through Prophetic Divination, Gu Shanhai quickly spotted something, an insignificant small stone that had fallen at the castle entrance.

"???"

"What is this thing?"

Gu Shanhai looked puzzled. He obviously knew it was a stone, but why would the divination count it as "Little Ji"?

Soon, Gu Shanhai found that little stone and studied it closely. It had absolutely nothing special about it. If it hadn’t been for the divination suggesting it might be something valuable, he wouldn’t even have noticed it.

"It seems like something that fell from a larger whole. I do know of one stone-like treasure, but it’s much larger than this thing."

In this world, there are four Divine Artifacts.

The Stone of Destiny, Penetrating Gun·Bombarding Five Stars, Revenge Sword·Answer, and the Cauldron of Dagda.

These four are Divine Artifacts, claimed to be held by the gods.

Gu Shanhai had also collected a fair amount of corresponding information. The Stone of Destiny was currently bearing the Sword in the Stone·Gold. Yes, that large stone was the Stone of Destiny, and thus, only the true King could pull out the sword embedded in it.

When the True King stepped upon it, the Stone of Destiny would emit a joyous roar, acknowledging his kingship; when the True King grew old, the Stone of Destiny could rejuvenate him, letting him continue to protect the kingdom.

That was the effect of the Stone of Destiny, so it was utterly useless to anyone else.

However, in a past life, after Atilis died by fate, players managed to get their hands on the Stone of Destiny. Yes, it was the Gods Club—they even sparked a small surge of traffic on forums using the Stone of Destiny, and then it ended because, by then, it was over a hundred years after "The First Epoch" had launched, with countless Divine Artifacts and treasures emerging.

It was also by possessing this Divine Artifact that the others went to a world inhabited by gods. The Divine King planned to obtain the divine essence of destiny but was killed by the gods.

The properties of the Stone of Destiny were unknown to Gu Shanhai, since the details weren’t disclosed, only a screenshot was shared; who would foolishly post the characteristics of a Divine Artifact publicly?

Regarding Penetrating Gun·Bombarding Five Stars, Gu Shanhai had actually seen its inferior imitation, yes, Sethanda’s Demon Spear·Briounek. Where the real thing was, Gu Shanhai did not know, just like Revenge Sword·Answer, it had never appeared even if the world were destroyed.

Maybe a player took it away through a quest, and since they were discreet, no one knew.

Lastly, the Cauldron of Dagda, which he did know about, contained endless food in Dagda’s Cauldron, enough to satisfy a thousand armies.

That was its previous name. It should now be known as the Holy Grail.

That was one of the main storylines of this world, although Gu Shanhai didn’t know if this Holy Grail was still Dagda’s Cauldron since Atilis hadn’t pulled the Sword in the Stone·Gold from the Stone of Destiny, and no King had been born, nor had Christmas come.

"So, is this thing a fragment of the Stone of Destiny?" Gu Shanhai was somewhat puzzled, otherwise, he couldn’t find a corresponding explanation.

Upon further inspection, this thing really was just a small stone, utterly ordinary with no special effects. It couldn’t even help with virility when soaked in water.

"Wait, if this thing really is a fragment from the Stone of Destiny, does it mean that the Stone of Destiny obtained by the church came from this noble family?" Gu Shanhai frowned, feeling increasingly perplexed.
