Chapter 834 The Thousand-Year-Old Wine Has Been Discovered
What else can we do? Like conquering the CEO, it's all about sex... so we can only wait for her to grow up?

Just then, the Bat Lord reflected the terrain view of the sewers onto Eileen's mirror. At the same time, Da Chun's map was also expanding.

Well, anyway, since Ellen didn't have an image in the mirror to ensure long-distance transmission with the Crystal Bat of Biliana, it wouldn't be considered interference.

Leah was astonished: "Bats are blind and have no vision, so how can they have visual images?"

Da Chun quickly seized the opportunity to let her admire him: "Because this is a crystal bat, its whole body is like a mirror, reflecting the surroundings, so the entire body of the crystal bat is equivalent to an eye."

Lia then understood and made a discovery: "There are Thieves Guild symbols on the wall."

Da Chun was surprised and immediately shouted to stop the bat: "Which one?"

The screen is still, showing a wall covered in scratches.

Lia explained, "That's it. The other scratches are just meaningless camouflage. Only the bottom few lines of scratches are markings. They're a code from the Thieves' Guild that only high-ranking officers can understand. It means the location of an important department, but it doesn't give directions. We can continue exploring."

Da Chun was astonished: "How does Liya know the Thieves' Guild's code words?"

Lia snorted: "Because the Thieves Guild does dirty work for the royal family, some things that are inconvenient to handle through administrative, legal, or military means have to be handed over to the Thieves Guild. Fortunately, these codes are not complicated, mainly for marking directions. You can learn bat language, so you'll learn this very quickly."

Soon after, scratches reappeared on the section of wall where the bats had passed.

Lia shouted, "Stop!"

The screen stopped.

Lia began to interpret: "Turn right at the next sewer exit, and go through three intersections."

—System notification: Your extraordinary wisdom has given you a preliminary understanding of the "Thieves' Guild's Code Words," and your Scholar profession experience has been improved.

Haha, it's really easy to learn. Even though I won't use it, it's good to gain experience as a scholar.

The bat followed the route, but when it reached its destination, it found itself in a collapsed sand and gravel area.

Lia sighed, "This must be the entrance. It seems we couldn't escape the ravages of war back then."

Um... Da Chun immediately took out his phone and compared it with the guide to the underground thieves' department that Zhou Qing had given him. It seemed to be the place.

Da Chun actually had a way: he could probe under the vines in that spot and burrow into the ground to see what was there.

But the bat seemed to have a solution: "Master, I can activate the interface transfer and go into the Netherworld to take a look."

Is that alright? Ah, that's right. Back when Aziza and Nancy rescued Pinocchio and brought him to the slums, he went back through the Land of the Dead.

Da Chun really wanted to see its capabilities: "Then go inside."

The next moment, the image on the mirror disappeared, leaving only a flickering blur.

Is this the Land of the Dead? Or is it that the images of the Land of the Dead are inconvenient to transmit and are distorted?

A few minutes later, the image reappeared, revealing a completely destroyed and collapsed underground building space.

Holy crap! This interface transfer is really useful, it's like going through walls!

But these weren't things Da Chun cared about: "Find wine, see if there's a wine cellar."

The images of bats began to move and change, but Da Chun noticed the collapsed sand and gravel, which meant that the sewer chamber had also been breached, and it was possible to dig in by digging sand from the ground.

But here's the problem: even if they find the wine cellar and the thousand-year-old wine, Da Chun has to dig it out in front of the Ten Elders. But how can they dig through hundreds of meters of yellow sand?

Or perhaps we could use vines to drill through this area, slowly pull out a few bottles, and drop them at certain angles on the ground, then "coincidentally" find them? But that coincidence seems too convincing. Besides, slowly dragging them out would inevitably leave scratches on the bottles, giving away the deception. Perhaps there's only one way: have Libnashi teleport in. But we need to give her the teleportation coordinates! But teleportation coordinates are different from geographical coordinates, and even with my god-level spatial magic, I don't know them! Because I'm a self-taught spatial mage, I've never attended a single class; these theories need to be taught in a classroom.

Last time, it was because Biliana didn't recognize spatial coordinates and couldn't transmit, so she specially issued a task to have the village garrison leader, Feng Xingcuo, personally deliver the message...

While the bat was struggling with its decision, it arrived at what appeared to be a kitchen, where a dilapidated basement floor suddenly appeared.

Leah exclaimed in surprise, "You found the wine cellar!?"

What the hell!

Da Chun's brow twitched: "Stop, don't go in! Just scout through the cracks on the outside."

Soon, the image zoomed in and showed the scene inside the wine cellar. Although there was rotten wood, barrels and broken glass everywhere, there were a dozen or so rotten boxes in the corner, which did not look like they had been fatally damaged.

Lia exclaimed in surprise, "It's Imperial Brandy, a tribute wine! The packaging is also the most luxurious. If it hadn't been directly destroyed in the war, it could theoretically have been sealed and preserved for a thousand years. It's also the material that the emperor used to make offerings for the gods. If these dozen or so cases are all preserved intact and their quality hasn't changed, then it's as if we've obtained an extremely valuable thousand-year-old tribute!"

Holy crap!! Wait a minute?

Da Chun asked, "Quality mutation?"

Liya said, "The wine that the Emperor presented to the God Realm as a tribute for a thousand years had extremely demanding production and preservation conditions. Its effects were not visible in the first one or two hundred years. But after two hundred years, wines continued to mutate and be eliminated. Very few have survived to this day. As for the current environment of these ruins, it's hard to say, so don't have too high expectations."

Uh, it's okay. The more fake alcohol I drink, the less specific attribute information I have, and the less he understands why I can bring holiday luck to the competition...

Da Chun immediately ordered, "Bat, leave this thief's headquarters and explore the other secret rooms in the sewers."

"According to the master."

The interface transition is enabled, and the image becomes blurry again.

In short, now that we've discovered this, we need to find an opportunity to talk to Libnashi and Sheila. I don't understand spatial coordinates, but surely the Ten Elders do, right? They're the ones who made the game.

This time, however, the image remained blurry for a full ten minutes without recovering.

Da Chun sensed something was wrong: "Bat, what's going on?"

The bat's answer was also vague: "It seems like this isn't the way we came from!"

Lia frowned: "An attack that could penetrate the thieves' headquarters must have distorted space to some extent. There's no need to find the way back; just go wherever feels easiest."

Da Chun immediately relayed: "Don't go back the way you came..."

"Master, received!"

Time ticked by, and although Da Chun was anxious, he also felt a vague excitement, as if he might make a great discovery out of nowhere.
