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

Chapter 490, page 2.1-19: The Crown: The Treasure of a Lost Dynasty
The bustling streets, filled with a cacophony of vendors' cries, make this the most prosperous city of the dynasty, and also a symbol of the most flourishing civilization of that era.

Dionysus stood in front of the fruit stand, gazing thoughtfully at the bright red fruit. His long, wine-red hair fell casually behind his head, shimmering with golden light under the sun.

"Hey, long time no see." A very familiar, clear voice came from beside me.

He turned his head slightly and saw Bertias standing to the side with a smile, waving at him as if in a friendly greeting.

Dionysus narrowed his golden phoenix eyes slightly, and said unhappily, "You dare to show your face in front of me again? I'll kill you." Seeing Bertias reminded him of his mistake yesterday, where someone had stolen his drink. If it weren't for Bertias, how could he have been banned from drinking by Mu Yegui!

"Are you angry?" Bertias raised an eyebrow slightly, her face showing a hint of surprise, but she still had a clear smile on her face.

Dionysus gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, I haven't been this angry in a long time. I just want to punch you in the face and beat you black and blue."

Bertias grabbed a strand of his long, bluish-gray hair that fell over his shoulder, casually tucked it behind his back, took a few steps forward, picked up a jackfruit, waved it in front of him, and chuckled, "As the saying goes, yesterday's enemy is today's friend. How about I buy you a drink?"

“Okay.” Dionysus changed his mind in a second, then remembered something and his smile disappeared. He said aggrievedly, “It’s a pity I’m forbidden from drinking.”

With a hint of a smile in his blue-gray eyes, he hooked one arm around Dionysus's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Keep it a secret. Don't tell Mu Yegui. Anyway, she's in the palace talking to the king right now. As long as you don't tell anyone, she won't know."

Dionysus's dim, golden phoenix eyes suddenly lit up, and he said expectantly, "Then... let's go!!"

the other side.

"Since you have won, I will forgive their mistakes, but that's all. If there is a next time, I will not let them off so easily." The king rested his chin on his hand, lazily leaning back on his throne, looking down at the four trembling people behind Mu Yegui, and said indifferently.

"No problem, we'll send them back in a bit," Mu Yegui said slowly, glancing back at the four people behind him.

Lin Ya stood with his arms crossed in front of his chest, leaning against a pillar in the hall, quietly listening to the conversation between the two. His black hair swayed slightly in the wind. Suddenly, he sensed something and looked up at a certain spot.

A man in a white cloak approached and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, due to last night's rain, the Maholis River has flooded half the city, and the damage is severe. Please give your instructions."

Wang casually picked up a clay tablet from the side and glanced at it, saying, "Isn't that stupid god here? Since he's staying here for free, he has to pay a price. Lin Ya, take 30 people to help with the disaster relief. Let Dionysus divert the flood. Just say it's my order and execute it immediately."

"Yes, sir." Lin Ya bowed to the king, then took a token and walked out.

"Don't rush to send these four scoundrels away. I still have some things for them to do," the king chuckled. "To prevent this from happening again, let them do some labor. Maholis City has been severely affected by the disaster, so let them carry bricks."

Wang Wei raised her eyes slightly and said disdainfully, "You can't even handle something this simple, can you?"

Laki and her three companions: "..."

Mu Yegui took a step forward and asked, "Are you ensuring their safety when they participate in labor?"

“Of course, after all, I am not a cruel tyrant. If they behave themselves, I will not mistreat them.” He looked coldly at the four of them, his golden vertical pupils flashing, and said slowly. “I understand.”

Mu Yegui nodded to the king, then turned to Laqi and said, "Since that's the case, you should focus on helping with the disaster relief. Once we find a way back, I will send someone to inform you immediately." Although they had discovered a way out, they decided to wait and see.

"Um...um...okay..." Rachel hesitated for a moment before reluctantly replying.

There was no other way anyway, and they had no ability to resist.

"Now that we've finished discussing the important matters, let's talk about yours." Wang looked up at Mu Yegui and said, "State your purpose."

The audience hall was empty except for the king and Mu Yegui, and the extremely luxurious and beautiful decorations.

A soft, emotionless, childlike voice broke the silence, and a clear, silver eye fixed on the king as she slowly said, "I'm looking for a gem. I heard there's one here, so I came. That's all."

After much thought, she decided to tell the truth, after ruling out other factors. After all, she was indeed there for the Real Gem, and destroying the dynasty was just a side task in the dungeon, not her original purpose.

"Gemstones? You should know that all the gemstones in the world belong to me. Do you want to snatch them from me? You've got some nerve~" The king sneered as he coldly stared at Mu Yegui with his golden vertical pupils.

"Excuse my frankness, but I don't think you have the gem I need." Mu Yegui said thoughtfully, recalling the yellow gem with a dragon totem she had seen before.

"How amusing! You say I don't have the gem you want? Hahahaha, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard!" The king laughed smugly.

"The king's name is Issa, isn't it?" Mu Yegui said slowly, her eyes slightly narrowed.

His golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and the king's smile vanished in an instant. The next second, he appeared in front of Mu Yegui, grabbed Mu Yegui's fragile neck with one hand, and slammed him hard against a stone pillar. The stone pillar shattered, and fragments of stone fell down continuously.

"Tell me, where did you get the information about my name?" The king's expression was cold and tinged with murderous intent, showing that he was very serious about killing Mu Yegui.

"Does the king want to kill me?" Mu Yegui asked softly, her expression unchanged, as she felt her neck being gripped tightly and the force tightening.

Unlike humans who rely on tracheas to breathe, or perhaps she doesn't need to breathe at all, she can still survive perfectly intact in a vacuum environment.

Although she looks like a human, her organs are ultimately different, and even her way of speaking is different. She is just instinctively learning and imitating human behavior.

“If I were human, perhaps the king would have gotten what he wanted, but unfortunately I am not.” Mu Yegui reached out and grabbed the king’s wrist, tightening his grip little by little, accompanied by the sound of bones cracking.

She forcefully pried Wang's hand off her neck.
