I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 474, page 2.1-3: The Crown: The Treasure of a Lost Dynasty
Mu Yegui and three merchants arrived at a nearby city. Sitting on her camel, she could hear the voices of the common people from afar.

"I heard that Wang has caught four criminals and will be burned at the stake in three days."

"What mistake did they make?"

"It is said that they stole the king's jewels."

"That's really courting death. How dare they steal even the king's things."

Their conversation gradually faded as the caravan passed by, and their gazes involuntarily fell upon Mu Yegui, who was sitting on a camel.

Her long, misty gray hair was covered by a black veil, adorned with gold studs polished into teardrop shapes that swayed gently. A delicate and precious gold headdress, inlaid with a ruby, adorned her forehead.

Her beautiful face was covered by a black veil, revealing only a pair of cool silver eyes, giving her a hazy beauty. The veil was still lightly pressed down by teardrop-shaped gold, so that it would not be blown away even by a gentle breeze.

She wore a long black dress, and her bare arms were adorned with gold armlets that shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight. Wide-legged black trousers prevented any accidental exposure, and her small, delicate, bare feet were exceptionally adorable.

Mu Yegui sat sideways in the middle of the Bactrian camel's hump, his cool silver eyes glancing at the bearded man at the head of the group. The latter chuckled dryly and waved to drive away the onlookers.

In fact, it wasn't the three of them who invited Mu Yegui; rather, they encountered a pack of sand wolves that only hunted at night, and Mu Yegui saved them when they thought they were going to die.

Finally, forced by Mu Yegui's force, they had no choice but to obediently hand over the clothes they had painstakingly bought to present to the king's favorite concubine, and take her to the capital.

The bearded man was practically in tears. Why did such a seemingly weak little girl possess such terrifying strength? Fortunately, they could fill in the blanks with their imaginations and believe that she was a messenger sent by God, which explained her immense power.

"Four sinners?" Mu Yegui murmured. Could they be the four guys who entered first?

"Can we reach the capital within three days?" Mu Yegui asked.

“Sure, if we’re in a hurry, we can arrive before tomorrow night. We’re already very close to the capital.” The tall man nodded and said.

"This place might be a bit unsettling," the thin man said, trembling as he looked around fearfully.

"How so?" Mu Yegui tilted his head and asked softly.

"Because of the king's tyranny, there are many poor people. Many, like us, take the risk of becoming traveling merchants, but many more choose to become robbers, stealing, killing, and plundering. If they encounter such people, they can only accept their bad luck and obediently hand over their goods. If they resist, they will be killed without hesitation."

It's truly tragic. If you don't become a merchant, you're destined to starve to death. But being a merchant isn't easy. You either get lost and die in the desert, are attacked by wild animals, or are killed by bandits. Very few survive, and who knows when it will all end...

Living is too tiring. Only merchants and nobles have a chance to rise in society, while slaves will remain slaves for life.

Mu Yegui understood, so that's why the mission says to overthrow the dynasty within three years? It doesn't seem like such a dynasty being overthrown is a pity; on the contrary, it might be a good thing for the people.

However, overthrowing a dynasty is no easy task. This matter requires careful planning. First, we need to find Bertias and Daolin, but before that, we must rescue these four people.

Although she was very strong on her own, she was still just one person, and even if she had the ability, she didn't want to take the lead herself. This dynasty belonged to this era, and to overthrow it, they had to make the people work hard themselves; these so-called outsiders could only offer some help at most.

Nothing comes without effort; to escape suffering, they need to fight and struggle. Mu Yegui didn't believe that the mission's overthrow of the dynasty's rule could be achieved solely by the three of them; after all, if that were the case, there wouldn't be this countdown. The mural depicted how the people, unable to endure the king's tyranny, rose up and overthrew the dynasty. Therefore, they should follow the mural's description, gradually guiding the apathetic people to develop the idea of ​​resistance.

Anyway, things can't get any worse than they are now. And after the dynasty is overthrown, the emergence of a new king will bring about a golden age, eventually forming the six kingdoms we have today. The future will be even better than it is now.

However, she kept hearing the bearded man talk about how much Wang liked big breasts, which gave her a strange feeling. She used to know someone who liked big breasts, but that perverted dragon had been dead for a long time.

A careful calculation of the timeline suggests that it matches perfectly.

She had a thought: what if this so-called king was actually that lecherous dragon?

It doesn't seem impossible after all...

After all, they are all big-breasted enthusiasts, and Issa was indeed still alive ten thousand years ago.

However, it seems unlikely that Issa, with his not-so-bright mind, could be the king, unless amnesia caused him to lose his mind.

But if Isaac was still alive during this period and was not the king, then where was Isaac?

"What is the king's name?" Mu Yegui asked.

“The king’s name is taboo, just like the holy sons of the temple; almost no one is allowed to know it. There’s a rumor that as soon as their names are mentioned, they immediately know who that person is and what they’ve said. Don’t you think that’s terrifying?” The thin man trembled, speaking with fear.

Mu Yegui blinked and said, "Just saying your name will reveal your existence? That's an amazing ability."

This era is truly wondrous; she was becoming increasingly curious.

“The King is very strong. I once saw him from afar crush the head of someone who resisted him with his bare hands, and blood and brains were splattered all over the ground. I’ve always had a guess that the King isn’t human, which is why he’s so powerful. As long as you see him, you can’t muster any will to resist.” The bearded man pondered, then suddenly shuddered, still feeling lingering fear.

The camel stopped, and the three of them, while tidying their packs, said to Mu Yegui, "Could we wait a moment? We need to restock our supplies."

Mu Yegui nodded and watched the three of them walk into the wine shop.

However, not long after, a commotion broke out, and a boy with long, wine-red hair was thrown out.

"Get out of here, this isn't a place for kids to cause trouble," the man said arrogantly, looking at the ragged boy.

“I have money, I can buy it, I’m not causing trouble,” he said slowly as he got up, opened his purse to reveal gleaming gold.

He looked at the gold, his eyes gleaming with greed, and said, "So, it was you who stole my money. Men, beat him to death!"

"You! How can you talk nonsense like that! This money is clearly mine, who would steal your money!" the boy retorted angrily.

Guess who he is? An old acquaintance!
