Walking in a straight line along the glorious path that ran through the fifth layer of space, I don't know how long later, the space in front of me changed, and an unusually magnificent white-gray stone door appeared in front of me.

Aya asked in surprise, "What is this place?" ”

Wang Lu was also stunned for a moment, looked around, and saw a group of people standing on an island suspended out of thin air, with an endless sea of clouds behind them, and the way in front of them was locked by the stone gate.

"In short, it won't be the sixth layer of the King's Treasury...... It's a pity that the person who knows the most about the situation doesn't come forward to explain, so it's all pure guesswork. ”

As soon as Wang Lu finished speaking, the stone door in front of him suddenly buzzed and vibrate, but the rough surface was twisted like water waves, vaguely showing a human face, and then made a dull, heart-shaking sound.

"Don't guess, here's the Golden King's Championship Trial."

The Golden King's Championship Trial? It refers to the written examination and interview part of the competition for the position of administrator......

Wang Lu frowned: "You are the person in charge?" ”

"The person in charge? No, there are no more responsible persons here. Shimen rumbled, his expression and tone revealing a little sadness, "I'm just an ordinary Shimen." ”

"How much do you know about the Championship Trial?"

"This is the path that only extraordinary braves can tread."

Wang Lu nodded: That is, only if you achieve a score far beyond the standard value in a certain layer of the King's Treasure Vault, you will have a chance to enter the Champion Trial, which is a hidden dungeon.

"It's a very long road to trial, but the further you go, the more you get. The last person who started the path of the trial did not stop until the fifth level and gained the king's favor. ”

The King's Favor? The Golden King was really blind and lured the wolf into the house. But in other words, as long as I can make it to the sixth level, the Holy Light Sect will be able to say goodbye to the King's Treasury.

"There is no person in charge of this trial road, only the stone gate guarding each level is still waiting silently, and if their conditions are met, they can enter the next level. However, I haven't been in contact with Shimen in the last few levels for a long, long time, so I don't know what new changes are behind me. ”

"I see." Wang Lu pondered for a moment, and did not continue to ask more, but went straight to the point: "So as the guardian of the first level, what do you want?" ”

The stone gate said, "A long, long time ago, I accidentally lost a treasure of the king, and I was punished by the king for it, and became the guardian of this place, until today. If you can get that treasure back for me, I'd be very grateful to you. ”

When Wang Lu heard this, he didn't rush to ask about the treasure, but said curiously: "What about the last person who came to challenge, what task did you assign to him?" ”

"It's the same mission as you, but unfortunately he didn't find the treasure." "However, he found some important clues. Then as a workaround, I can allow him to pass this level when he pays enough price. ”

Wang Lu said: "So, is it convenient to tell me those clues?" ”

"Unfortunately, I can't do that. Moreover, if you submit a clue that has been submitted by him, it will be invalid if you submit it again. ”

"Understood." Wang Lu nodded, and his heart was clear, "In other words, when it's my turn, I can only pass the test by finding out the body of that treasure, right?" Okay, so tell me what that treasure is? ”

Shimen's voice was full of emotion: "It is a wine cup that the king loves very much, although its material is ordinary, it is only the gold of the best blessing, but it is the most prestigious jewelry master in the kingdom immediately made by hand in a month, the skill is ingenious, and the blessing of the beautiful is imposed." Specifically, it looks like this

As he spoke, in front of the stone gate, a cloud of mist slowly condensed into the shape of a wine glass, and showed a golden luster. The glass is a master's creation, and the shape and decoration are indeed worthy of the evaluation of ingenious craftsmanship.

"Oh, what a beautiful wine glass." Wang Lu couldn't help but praise, "No wonder you became so miserable after you lost it." ”

Shimen didn't seem to hear the thorns in Wang Lu's words, and he also sighed: "Yes, among the one hundred and three wine glasses that the king likes the most, it can rank in the top twenty." If I lose it, I deserve death. ”

"Okay, then please find it for me, I have the impression that I left it near the Ice Thorn Heights, but after such a long time, it will definitely be picked up and circulated on the continent. I will open a portal for you to the Icebrambles Highlands. You can start collecting clues from there, and when you find the glass, break the hedron to teleport back. ”

As he spoke, a purple spar fell from the stone door, and a teleportation array lit up next to it.

"Alright, that's all that needs to be said, good luck. Ah, it's been a long time since I've spoken to anyone, I'm so tired......" With that, the stone door fell into a deep sleep, and its rippling face disappeared behind the rock face

"Wang Lu, what should I do?"

The group stood next to the teleportation array, waiting for the instructions of the team leader, Wang Lu.

Wang Lu held the teleportation spar in his hand and was silent.

Aya said: "It's like deliberately making things difficult, where can you find a wine glass that has been lost for tens of thousands of years?" The Holy Light Sect is powerful all over the continent, and there are many people, but they have not been able to find the real thing, only clues...... It is likely that the physical object has been destroyed, and it is not a precious weapon after all, but just a wine glass. I...... I have a lot of knowledge, but I haven't even heard of it."

"It's okay, I have a way, have you forgotten, I'm the chief disciple of Spirit Sword Mountain." Wang Lu said, patting his chest with confidence, "And on the mountain, there is an Eighth Elder who is famous for treasure hunting and exploration."

“…… That's not worth showing off at all."

"Ha Luha, even if the Eighth Elder is unreliable, don't we still have the best sense of smell in the world, the most suitable spirit dog to find things?" Wang Lu said, stretched out his hand, but instead of reaching out to the miscellaneous dog, he patted Bai Shixuan's head, "Lingtai Immortal Beast, Bai Shixuan"

Xiaobai, who has always been calm, suddenly blushed: "Your senior brother, don't tease me"

Aya angrily and funny slapped Wang Lu's hand on Xiaobai's head: "Don't bully honest people." And even if we ask Qiqi to help, we haven't seen the actual wine glass at all, and no matter how sensitive our sense of smell is, we can't help. ”

"Anyway, don't worry, I'm already confident in this level." Wang Lu said, took the hands of several people and walked into the teleportation array together, only to see the formation flicker, and the figures of the group disappeared on the floating island

At the same time, in the depths of the King's Treasury, the Holy Light Sect Sage who served as the administrator let out a disdainful sneer. In front of him, a clear mirror reflected the picture of the floating island. Although he couldn't see the scene after leaving the teleportation array, he listened to the conversation between Wang Lu and Shimen word for word.

"Confident? What a joke," the administrator muttered to himself, "At that time, the church mobilized the power of the whole religion and mobilized hundreds of millions of believers to collect information, and in the end, it could only be concluded that the wine cup had been spread from the Ice Thorn Plateau, and had appeared in more than 30 countries on the mainland, and had experienced hundreds of masters, and finally it was completely lost two thousand years ago, and there was no news of it, and it was probably destroyed...... Even the Prophets and Sages can't determine where it is, and you yellow-skinned bastards are trying to find the wine glass? ”

"What's more, since you are in the Ice Thorn Plateau, then your next stop is obvious. I'm not interested in seeing you play this game, and the group dares to leave Dragon City and leave the King's Treasure House, you are killing yourself."

With a sneer, the Sage clenched his fists violently, and the armrest of his luxurious seat was torn apart

"It's so cold"

Walking out of the teleportation array, the cold wind howled where he landed, and the sky was full of wind and snow. The goose-feather-like snowflakes danced vigorously in the wind, the tiny ice slag was like a dagger, and the bitter chill in the wind and snow actually made this group of masters in the realm of Jindan feel a little unbearable.

Liuli Immortal's physique was relatively delicate, and he couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly summoned a flying sword of fire phase, infused it with pure mana, and lit it for warmth, but the always sharp fire light was shaking.

Bai Shixuan, as the spirit of heaven and earth, is the best at changing the environment, but she is also a little at a loss at this time.

"The Ice Thorn Plateau is a cursed land." Aya's voice was blown a little erratic by the wind, "In the Golden King Era, it was still prosperous here, but after several wars, a legendary Ice Queen fell here, and her curse has been left to this day, making the plateau no longer suitable for living creatures, and the unjust souls killed by the curse are entrenched here, which makes this place even more gloomy." Even if the wine glass is still left here, we can't just look for it in the cold wind, so let's leave. On the edge of the plateau there is a human city, where we can rest for a while."

The group is strong after all, although it is slightly uncomfortable in the extremely harsh environment, but it is not very difficult to break through the wind and move forward, along the direction pointed by Aya, Wang Lu took the lead, and the Wuxiang Sword Wai isolated all the wind and snow, and the rest of the people followed. It only took half a day to fly away from the plateau and arrive at a bustling border town - Askalt.

Although the city is small, it has all kinds of organs, and it is thriving and popular.

Although the Ice Thorn Plateau is a cursed land, the so-called wealth is in danger, and the plateau country, which was once suddenly destroyed by the curse, has buried endless treasures in the snowy fields. Moreover, the extreme conditions of the plateau, after thousands of years of brewing, have also formed many natural treasures. Therefore, it is highly regarded by adventurers, and many people are willing to go to the plateau to explore treasures, and many of them have made a lot of gains. Situated in the safety zone closest to the plateau, Askalt's prosperity as a transportation hub is a natural occurrence.

"It's a paradise for adventurers, even high-level professionals."

After entering the city, Wang Lu looked around, most of them were adventurers, and the locals were rare. Most of the places in the city are inns, taverns, and shops with equipment and items.

Aya said, "I suggest that we start with the local church. The church here is an ancient church that traditionally believes in the goddess of ice and snow, and it has a very long heritage, and if there is any important information on the plateau for more than 10,000 years, they will generally know the Tao. The wine glass has been flowing for thousands of years, but the source is still on the plateau after all. ”

Wang Lu smiled and shook his head: "There's no need to be so troublesome, this time interval is as long as 10,000 years, even if everything in the church is recorded, how many of us will find out?" How can we have so much time to waste now? ”

"Then ...... you are going to do?"

"Let's go to the prop shop first, since the business is prosperous here, the variety of goods should be very complete......

After arriving at the props shop, Wang Lu looked at the goods displayed in the store, and smiled: "It seems that this is it, boss, I want two units of high-grade blessing gold ingots, and then multicolored stones, red flame stones, cryolites, wind stones, thundering stones, holy light stones, and shadow stones...... One for each, then Mithril filament, pure gold leaf......

Listening to the list of materials reported by Wang Lu, Aya was curious at first, and then her eyes widened and she looked at Wang Lu incredulously.

"You, do you want to ......?"

Wang Lu snorted coldly: "Is there any other way?" When I was asked to find an artifact that had been missing for tens of thousands of years, I knew it was time to show off my true copycat skills."
