บท 251: Secret Behind Noble's Garden
Ryker looked at them with shock on his face. Besides him, the others also have the same expression, disbelief written all over their face.
"Are you sure this is the previous king?" he asked them, being the closest to them, both figuratively and literally.
"Yes, there is a picture of the man in the Duke's office," Hylla replied, though her eyes still looking at the man in front of her in disbelief.
"But, didn't he die a long time ago?!" Ryker asked again. His question seemed to make the man laugh out loud.
"I die, that is true, but I also put a part of my memory inside this hidden realm that I created for the brat, his name is Kilrun if I remember it correctly, at least their family name. Too bad I died before he found out about this place," the man sighed.
The captain walked towards the ghost of the king before kneeling in front of him, "My liege, may we know where exactly are we?" his tone was polite. Then again, no mere Genesis Realm expert dared to anger a Spirit Grand realm expert.
"This place? Didn't the brat tell you about the Noble's Garden?" the others have their breath stuck inside their mouth. Whether it is because of the confirmation of the place being actually the Noble's Garden or because of the fact the Duke was referred to as a brat, who knew?
"It just, the Noble's Garden had not been opened at all during the previous opening," the captain replied, earning the man a look of admiration of actually trying to talk to Spirit Grand realm expert, even if it's a deceased one.
"The Noble's Garden could only be opened when plenty of resources are used to open the hidden realm. This would allow the place to create more treasures. However, there is a severe downside. If the method is used, there will be some damage to the hidden realm.
In other words, doing this would cause harm to it in the long term. The only reason why this is done is because the strength of the city will need to be improved as quickly as possible. This means there is a chance for a crisis to occur and this is the preparation done by the brat,"
Hearing how the previous king had just listed the plan of the Duke made the three on the Duke's camp have a strained smile...
"No matter, the Noble's Garden is a special part of the hidden realm. Only through the act of sacrificing tons of resources along with damaging the foundation of the hidden realm would this place appear.
The Noble Garden, contrary to its name, is not a garden filled with Noble Grade Herbs or Spiritual Fruits. It only possesses several Herbs and Spiritual Fruits in that rank, though the other herbs and spiritual fruits are all at the 9th Grade,"
When the previous king told of the composition of the garden, everyone in the place suck their breath. For the place to be filled with 9th-grade materials told how fortunate the people that enter this place are.
"Of course, there are also danger zones inside the Noble's Garden so caution needs to be practiced or else one could lose their lives," the King advised the eager groups, ready to claim the treasures inside as their own.
Without caring about the king anymore, the one who entered the place began to search all over the place for the treasures inside. The only exceptions are Ryker and the other two, who began to give each other a knowing glance.
After exchanging a brief look, Ryker separated from the other two, who did the same. While splitting up seemed like a bad idea, they didn't know how long they could remain inside the place without dying.
The best way to locate the treasure before the time ran out was to seek everywhere without a care as to who knew where the item was hidden. The only way to achieve that in the constraint time is by splitting up.
All of them head in their own separate way, hoping to find the treasures that will help the Duke.
-x-
Despite his best attempt to locate the treasures, his Soul Sense seemed to be restrained by something. He could guess something inside the Noble's Garden would prevent such a thing but whether it would harm them is hard to know.
He did hope the other would be lucky and find it as he was not sure he could find the items.
-x-
Hylla looked around, searching for anything that could possibly be the item they were looking for. Despite her best efforts, she didn't find anything that could possibly be related to what they were looking for.
She let out a sigh, hoping for the others to be able to find the item.
-x-
The young captain almost let out a scream of frustration if not for his discipline. He was close to it, however, as he did not find anything that could be what they were looking for.
He hoped the others were lucky as he definitely isn't.
-x-
When the three regroup, they could tell the result of each other search.
"So nothing?" "Nope," "Not a single sign or clue,"
They let out a sigh, though Ryker remembered something.
"Didn't the ghost say something like the Noble's Garden would have some danger zones, right?" he asked, making them look at him in confusion before understanding dawned on their face.
"Yes-" "But there is none here," they said, making Ryker nod.
"The only explanation is the memory is lying or this place is not the real Noble's Garden," he tells them his assumption.
"If this is not the real Noble's Garden, then where is it?" Hylla asked, looking at him expectantly.
"The hidden realm is supposed to have plenty of anomalies related to the three Supreme Laws, right?" instead of answering, he asked another question.
"Yes?" not seeing where he was going with this, the two replied.
"Then why didn't I encounter such a thing before?" the two looked at each other before their eyes widened, realizing something.
"Do you think it is because the Duke used the methods to increase the resources inside the hidden realm?" Hylla asked, Ryker nodding at the question.
"Then, how do we suppose to go to the Noble's Garden?" when the young captain asked the question, Ryker walked towards the memory, who still remained.
He then asked, "How do we enter the Noble's Garden?" the other facepalm, it couldn't be that ea- "Break the pearl and throw it at me, then you can enter the Noble's Garden,"
The two looked at each other in shock as Ryker did as the memory told him. He crushes the pearl in his hand. Suddenly, he felt some mysterious pressures crushing him, though whether it was caused by Law of Gravity or Space is the question.
He threw the pieces of the pearl, and the memory seemed to spin around and form a vortex of myriad colors. Without thinking twice, Ryker jumped inside. The other two were about to follow him but were stopped by the memory.
"One person had claimed the chance to get the greatest treasure. Everyone else will be sent outside the fake Noble's Garden,"
