Chapter 1014: Royal Family’s Treasure Vault

“Fake…”


Merlin was speechless. It turned out that everything was fake. The so-called ‘Sacred Lion Beast’s head’ they guarded was just a joke.


After a long while, the Princess Royal slowly opened her mouth and asked, “Elder, can I enter this treasure vault for a while?”


The Princess Royal knew that Merlin had done a lot to deal with the Candora Trio-Lords and Doomsday, but she had not given him any benefits.


Titles and territory were worth nothing to Merlin. However, there had to be something in the treasure vault that would satisfy Merlin.


Merlin’s heart moved as he immediately understood the Princess Royal’s meaning. What was most valuable to Merlin were the almighty beasts’ will in the treasure vault. After all, the accumulation of the royal family for a thousand years must be unimaginable.


The elder looked at the Princess Royal and stepped aside before he calmly said, “The Princess Royal is about to become the King and naturally can enter the treasure vault. However, Marquis Leon must stay outside.”


This was the royal family’s treasure vault. No matter how close the relationship with the royal family, an outsider would not be allowed to enter. Even Farron had never entered the treasure vault before.


Merlin nodded and watched the Princess Royal enter the treasure vault behind the elder. Then, the gate to the treasure vault closed and the secret chamber fell into silence.


“Marquis Leon, I heard you fought against the tide and killed the Nine-lives Werewolf as well as Doomsday. You even forced the Candora Trio-Lords to run away by using the Candora Magic Mirror.”


The elder’s eyes twinkled spiritedly. Such a major event naturally could not be concealed.


Thus, Merlin nodded his head and said, “It’s just a fluke.”


“It’s not a fluke…”


Merlin took a deep breath and suddenly asked, “Elder, you may have been in the royal family for a long time and should have encountered the real Sacred Lion Beast’s head. What’s so special about the Sacred Lion Beast’s head?”


Merlin suddenly understood why he did not have any other reaction when he saw the Sacred Lion Beast’s head. It turned out that it was just a fake. Only some of the Sacred Lion Beast’s aura was sealed in it.


It was precisely because of that that it deceived a lot of people. Even the Candora Trio-Lords and Shadow King spent a lot of energy to get to the Holy Dragon City but ultimately failed.


“The sacred beast…”


The elder thought about it and closed his eyes slightly as if he was recalling it. After a long time, the elder said slowly, “The biggest difference between the sacred beast and other almighty beasts is the will in their bodies. In the beginning, although there was only the head left, there was still a vast will. It was as if it represented the whole world, and was stable. With that will, the sacred beast became eminent and distant, and it was hard to even approach it. However, for some reason, the will gradually weakened and then disappeared completely. The head of the Sacred Lion Beast gradually decayed and disappeared.”


Thinking about the will in the Sacred Lion Beast’s head, the elder appeared excited, as if he could not forget it after feeling it once.


“Will?”


Merlin suddenly looked up above the secret chamber, like he had seen through the secret chamber and saw the sky directly. If he guessed well, the sacred beast’s will was a part of the Almighty Beast World’s will.


It was a pity that the Sacred Lion Beast’s head had disappeared. Otherwise, being able to feel that will or even merging with it would have an unimaginable improvement on Merlin’s strength.


“It seems I’ll have to make preparations to visit the Candora Empire.”


Merlin thought of the sacred beast will sealed in the Candora Magic Mirror. Merlin did not covet the Candora Magic Mirror, but the sacred beast will that had been sealed in it was irresistible to Merlin and he was determined to get it.


“Marquis Leon, I hear you’re a Host?” The elder hesitated but asked anyway. His bright eyes were still fixed on Merlin.


“That’s right, I’m a Host!”


Merlin did not hide it. It was something that could not be concealed at all. His Supreme Talent was incredibly poor and no ultimate contender had such a weak Supreme Talent. That only proved that Merlin was a Host because only Hosts were different from regular ultimate contenders.


Still, even the elder had not seen a Host that could rival an ultimate contender. The most he had seen were full-shifters.


“Hosts really are amazing. It’s said that the most powerful Host is only as strong as a full-shifter, and is far from rivaling an ultimate contender. However, Marquis Leon is an exception. You have few rivals now. You even defeated the Candora Trio-Lords. I’m afraid you are the strongest Host ever! In fact, Marquis Leon, you have created a living legend!”


The most powerful Host in history, this was not an exaggeration; Merlin truly deserved the title. In the crisis earlier, he defeated the Candora Trio-Lords and killed the Nine-lives Werewolf as well as Doomsday. This valiant accomplishment was enough to push Merlin to the top.


Merlin’s achievements had not spread to the surrounding areas yet, but with the passage of time and the word of mouth from other contenders, Merlin would probably set off a storm in the whole continent as the strongest Host ever!


“A Host. Who would have thought that a Host would be so powerful? Perhaps for you Hosts, the final step is to become a sacred beast,” the elder said emotionally. He had lived for a long time and had seen too many prodigies. He had seen the sacred beast’s head and felt its will before.


He knows that the will alone was far from what an ordinary ultimate contender could imagine. It was like one was heaven and the other was earth, and could not be compared with at all.


It was too difficult for an ordinary ultimate contender to take the last step and become a sacred beast. There was no direction at all. In these years, where had there ever been a great existence that had reached the level of a sacred beast?


Ordinary ultimate contenders did not have such a capability, but the strongest Host in history had emerged. Maybe Merlin had the chance to take the last step.


The two continued to chat. About three hours later, the door of the treasure vault opened and the Princess Royal exited.


“Did you find it?” Merlin asked eagerly. The almighty beasts’ will were what Merlin was most concerned about.


There was a mysterious smile on the corner of the Princess Royal’s mouth, but she did not answer directly. Instead, she said goodbye to the elder who guarded the treasure vault, “Elder, we’ll leave first. Please continue to protect the royal family’s treasure vault.”


“Haha, don’t worry, Princess Royal. As long as I’m alive, the treasure vault will be safe.”


The treasure vault was the most important place. It was originally the only important place besides the Sacred Lion Beast’s head, but now that it was discovered that the Sacred Lion Beast’s head had long disappeared, the treasure vault had become the most important place for the royal family.


It was no wonder that this elder had always been guarding the treasure vault and did not stop the Candora Trio-Lord and the others from stealing the Sacred Lion Beast’s head in the secret chamber. He knew that the Sacred Lion Beast’s head had already disappeared. Now, the most important thing to the royal family was the treasure vault.


Merlin looked at Lisa. Although she had not answered his question, her expression actually revealed a little information.


After they left the secret chamber and returned to the palace, Merlin continued to ask, “Lisa, have you found the almighty beasts’ will?”


Almighty beasts’ will were very important to Merlin.


There was a charming smile on the Princess Royal’s face as she said, “Not only did I find it, there’s also… You’ll be shocked!”
