Chapter 138 Another Godly Throne
The next morning.
Under the service of the maid of the Prince's Mansion, everyone dressed up and followed Xue Qinghe to the court.
The Tiandou Imperial Palace was magnificently built and glittering with gold, which made people dazzled for a while.
Everywhere in the palace is guarded by Royal Guards, which can be said to be quite strict. There is also a lot of powerful aura in the dark. Unless you are a titled Douluo, you will be discovered instantly if you break in.
After entering the palace, Emperor Xueye sat on the throne, and the ministers below stood in two rows, all looking back at the palace door.
"Father, everyone from Tianshui College has been brought here."
"Um!"
Emperor Xue Ye nodded lightly, and Xue Qinghe stood aside consciously.
A pair of eyes with approval and scrutiny suddenly looked at him, and Lin Chuan also raised his head to look at the emperor. He didn't show much expression, but there was a faint aura lingering on his body.
Different from the aura of a powerful soul master, which was obviously formed by staying in a high position for a long time, the emperor in front of him, who was not angry and proud, was obviously also a hero when he was young.
"I have met His Majesty Xue Ye!"
Shui Lanxin took the lead in saluting with her hands raised.
They were both Contras, but they didn't really join the Tiandou Empire, so they didn't need to kneel down. Others followed suit and bowed to Emperor Xue Ye.
"Dean Shui, there is no need to be polite."
Emperor Xueye waved his hand gently, with a faint smile appearing on his face.
"These children must be the contestants of Tianshui Academy this year. They are all good talents. Dean Shui really teaches them well!"
Shui Lanxin also pursed her lips and smiled softly, "Your Majesty is so complimentary. It's all the children who strive for success."
"Anyway, congratulations to Tianshui Academy for winning this elite competition. This competition not only brought out the style of Tianshui Academy, but also made the empire look good. Dean Shui and these children have all contributed a lot."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, we finally came to the main topic.
Emperor Xueye's eyes suddenly fell on Lin Chuan.
"This young man should be Lin Chuan, right?"
Lin Chuan cupped his hands and responded, "Lin Chuan has met Your Majesty."
"Okay, okay, you are indeed a talented person!" Emperor Xueye nodded gently, his eyes flickered briefly, and soon returned to normal, "You shined brilliantly in this elite competition, and you also gained honor for the empire."
"I promised during the qualifiers that as long as I can get good results in this elite competition, I will be rewarded by the empire. Now that Tianshui Academy has far exceeded expectations, the empire will naturally not be stingy."
Emperor Xueye paused for a moment, and the expressions of all the ministers became serious.
"Preaching my will, Tianshui Academy has made great contributions. All the contestants this time will be awarded the title of Earl of Meritorious Service and enjoy an imperial salary. At the same time, each person will be rewarded with 500,000 gold soul coins and can enter the first floor of the royal treasury to select a treasure."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the girls thanked her softly, their pretty faces full of joy.
"As for Lin Chuan... he was granted the title of Marquis, with a salary of thousands of stones, a Marquis fiefdom, and a million gold soul coins. At the same time, he could enter the first to third floors of the royal treasury to select two treasures."
Just like Xue Qinghe said yesterday, the real aristocrat with real power!
However, it was not an earl, but a marquis.
Even if it is because the champion of the Elite Competition of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy should be conferred, the most it can be is an earl title, but now he has jumped directly to the title of marquis.
In addition, you can also enter the royal treasury to select treasures. After all, it is a century-old empire, and its rich collection is naturally far beyond imagination.
Emperor Xue Ye is really putting his money where his mouth is!
But since he was willing to give it, Lin Chuan naturally didn't mind accepting it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Marquis Lin, you don't have to be polite. I hope Marquis Lin can continue to do what he does now and exaggerate the prestige of our country!" Emperor Xueye smiled slightly, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
Lin Chuan's heart was like a mirror, but he still nodded lightly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this is the only thing, Lin Chuan will never let your Majesty down!"
"That's very good. Come and take Marquis Lin to the treasury to select treasures!"
After hearing Emperor Xue Ye's words, an old eunuch dressed in eunuch clothes walked out slowly, his eyes narrowed and his face full of smile, giving people a sense of harmlessness.
"Marquis Lin, and all the earls from Tianshui College, please come with me!"
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Everyone nodded slightly to the old eunuch, and then bowed to Emperor Xueye again, "Your Majesty, I will leave first."
After receiving Emperor Xueye's permission, the group slowly left the palace, followed the old eunuch, and rushed towards the Royal Treasure House of the Tiandou Empire.
"Master Hou, we are here!"
After going around and around, he finally stopped in front of a heavy door.
There are four imperial guards standing on both sides of the door, and a group of imperial guards will patrol here every quarter of an hour, which shows how much the Tiandou royal family attaches great importance to this place.
Realizing this, several people suddenly became more and more excited.
"General Zou, under His Majesty's orders, I have led all the adults from Tianshui Academy here to select treasures."
Outside the treasure house, the general of the Imperial Guard with a knight's sword hanging on his waist took a serious look and nodded slightly, "Thank you, sir. I have received the order, open the door!"
The remaining guards on the side took the token handed over by the old eunuch and put it into the groove of the vault door.
Only a 'click' sound was heard, the mechanism was triggered, the door lock was opened, the thick door rubbed against the ground, but it was not harsh, and the passage was soon revealed.
"Master Marquis, you can only go in by yourselves from now on. The treasure house will only be open for half an hour, so please hurry up."
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Lin Chuan smiled back.
The old eunuch hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are very polite, but this old slave is scared. I wish that your Lordship and the earls will be able to select satisfactory treasures and return home with a full load."
"Then let me borrow my father-in-law's good words!"
Lin Chuan waved to the girls and entered the treasure house together.
After losing the light for a short time, the vision suddenly became clear.
Under the unknown source of lighting, a spacious treasure house instantly came into view. Shelves made of precious wood were arranged one after another, and various treasures were displayed inside.
Or rare herbs packed in special boxes, or rare forging materials on the market, or armor made by a master forger...
At first glance, there were at least thousands of them.
"Is this the treasure of the Tiandou Empire? It's too exaggerated!"
Dugu Yan secretly smacked his tongue, obviously a little frightened.
Although the other girls did not speak, it could be seen from their expressions that they were also in an extremely uneasy mood at this time.
It should be said that the Tiandou Empire is truly rich.
"Okay, don't be in a daze, you only have half an hour, so you'd better choose quickly. Remember not to be too greedy. At least write down the locations of a few favorite objects first, and then continue to choose. If you don't find anything better in the end, then Just settle for the next best thing.”
Lin Chuan clapped his hands, forcibly awakened the girls from their shock, and whispered instructions.
"knew!"
A few people nodded slightly, and started to wander around the first floor of the treasure house in small groups, looking at the treasures while selecting the treasures that suit them.
"It's time for me to go upstairs and take a look!"
Lin Chuan didn't plan to stay too long on the first floor. The treasures above must be more precious.
Go up the stairs to the second floor. The decoration here is obviously more exquisite than the first floor, but the number of treasures collected is greatly reduced, probably only a few hundred pieces.
Lin Chuan just glanced at it silently and continued upward.
Arriving on the third floor, there are only dozens of treasures left, but their rarity has reached a new level.
"Do you even have a broken soul guide?"
Lin Chuan saw one of the collections and slowly stepped forward to look at it carefully. Its appearance and the energy fluctuations contained inside made it a powerful weapon.
It's a pity that the shape is damaged and it cannot exert its full power.
After a brief glance, Lin Chuan completely lost interest and turned to look at other items.
Most of the treasures on the third floor are soul tools, and many of them are intact, but Lin Chuan doesn't pay attention to them at all, or the things he likes are not here.
"There's none?"
After some searching, Lin Chuan was quite regretful that he could not find the Vast Sea Universe Cover.
But then I thought about it, after all, the Vast Sea Universe Shield is the most precious treasure of the country. Even if no one knows its specific function, the ability it displays is already precious. How can it be placed in such a place casually?
Fortunately, Lin Chuan just wanted to give it a try and didn't have high expectations.
"It seems we have to find another way!"
Since the Vast Sea Universe Shield that he wanted most was not here, the other treasures were not much different. Lin Chuan planned to grab two that could be used.
"Um?!"
At this moment, a strange wave flashed past.
Lin Chuan suddenly stopped where he was, suddenly turning his head and looking to the left.
On the stand, a very inconspicuous black token came into view. It looked ordinary in appearance, and there were no even words or lines on it, but the strange fluctuation just now came from it.
If Lin Chuan's soul power wasn't strong enough, he might not be able to capture it.
"What the hell is this?"
Lin Chuan reached out and picked up the token, trying to inject soul power into it.
The black token in his hand shone slightly, and then dimmed again.
Lin Chuan frowned slightly, and then used his mental power to penetrate it. The token still did not change, but he sensed the energy contained in it.
This feeling is exactly the same as the two pill beads in Binghuo Liangyi's eyes.
"Could it be..." Lin Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, he held the token in his hand, his spiritual power poured into it, and he began to realize the power contained in it.
next moment.
[You feel the power of the earth god, gain a little bit, and slightly deepen your understanding of the mystery of the earth element]
"it is as expected!"
Lin Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was filled with surprise.
This seemingly inconspicuous black token is actually the same as the Vast Sea Cosmic Shield. They are both things left by the gods and are also used to select successors.
Only those who are approved by it can actually use it and obtain the qualifications for the god's assessment.
"Tsk, I originally planned to choose two at random, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise. Fortunately, the Tiandou Empire didn't notice the strangeness of this token, otherwise it wouldn't have been my turn."
Lin Chuan murmured softly, with a strange smile on his lips.
Emperor Xue Ye was so generous. Not only did he give him a title, a fiefdom, and money, but now he also got a soil god's assessment artifact for nothing.
If Emperor Xue Ye knew about it, I don’t know if he would feel heartbroken.
But even if he knew this in the future, it would be too late. Lin Chuan would not give back what fell into his hands in vain.
Holding the token in his hand, Lin Chuan began to carefully select it again.
He has not let go of all the soul guidance devices around him, what if there are still more?
