#685 - Chapter 685: Austin Cota!

Day four, you set out to find the treasure.

First stop, you decide to go to the Marquisate of Feizuo.

This treasure is the closest to you and the easiest to find, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

A marquisate is the smallest level of country.

The Marquisate of Feizuo is one of the affiliated states of the Duchy of Lornoth, subordinate to the Duchy of Lornoth, and pays tribute every year.

Among the many marquisates affiliated with the Duchy of Lornoth, the Marquisate of Feizuo is also the weakest.

Its land area is only about the size of two cities in the Duchy of Lornoth.

Day five, you arrive above the Marquisate of Feizuo.

You didn't conceal your aura, and the powerful and terrifying fluctuations shook the entire marquisate.

The king of the marquisate appears, a fifth-order powerhouse.

He is also the highest-level person in the entire marquisate.

He can clearly feel the terrifying aura on you and greets you in a panic.

You descend and say calmly, 'Your Majesty King Kaffir, my name is Kern, and I am here to make a deal with you.'

Hearing you announce your name, he seems to know who you are, 'I have long heard of your name.

It is an honor for my marquisate that you can visit in person.'

You smile and enter the palace.

During the conversation with Kaffir, you learn that the Marquisate of Feizuo had sent ministers to the Duchy of Lornoth to trade with your potion shop.

However, the minister sent by the marquisate did not specify his identity, so Amyra did not notice.

From King Kaffir's mouth, you know that there are many marquisates like him who send ministers disguised as nobles to trade with your potion shop.

This time, you are here for the Marquisate of Feizuo's national treasure, a pagoda.

When you state your purpose, King Kaffir looks embarrassed.

You say directly, 'In the future, my potion shop will supply a large quantity of potions to the Marquisate of Feizuo... at a price lower than the market price.'

Kaffir shakes his head, 'Lord Kern, you misunderstand.

The national treasure was lost five years ago.'

'Now, my Marquisate of Feizuo no longer has the treasure of Auston Cotta.'

Lost five years ago?

You are silent.

Although you knew this trip would not be smooth, you didn't expect to fail at the first stop.

Kaffir continues, 'I bear a great responsibility for the loss of Auston Cotta; the person who stole it was my own younger brother.'

'After taking Auston Cotta, he left the marquisate. Recently, I received news that he appeared within the Duchy of Fairs.'

Speaking of this, Kaffir gives a wry smile, 'My Marquisate of Feizuo is subordinate to the Duchy of Lornoth, and the situation is tense now, so I dare not send anyone into the Duchy of Fairs to arrest him.'

You look at him, 'Can you provide some information?'

Kaffir immediately says, 'Of course, he is now in...'

...Leaving the Marquisate of Feizuo, you fly directly towards the Duchy of Fairs.

Day six, you arrive at the Duchy of Fairs.

Within the Duchy of Fairs, you first arrive at the Heka Mountains.

A'Fei is very happy to see you again.

You ask A'Fei to lead the magical beasts to search for Kaffir's younger brother, Zachary, around the nearby cities.

According to the information obtained from Kaffir, Zachary is in one of these nearby cities.

...

Day twelve, still no sign of Zachary. You begin to consider the feasibility of finding the next treasure.

The next treasure, the closest one, is in the Kingdom of Carter, which is much more difficult to find than Auston Cotta.

Day thirteen, you return to the Sima Mountains. Before leaving, you instruct A'Fei to come to the Sima Mountains to notify you if he finds Zachary or the whereabouts of the treasure.

Day fourteen, Karida arrives at the Sima Mountains.

He brought the translation of the parchment scroll.

At the same time, he also sends a friendly message, hoping that you can cooperate with the Coreit family.

You laugh it off and muddle through.

...Karida is ambushed on the way back. This time, you send magical beasts in advance to investigate secretly.

You know which force this team belongs to.

Hand of Death!

They belong to the Hand of Death of the Duchy of Fairs.

Only Karida escaped.

The magical beasts you sent intercepted the departing Hand of Death members, ultimately leaving behind a large portion of them.

With this wave of measures, you gained the favor of the Coreit family, and at the same time, increased the dislike of the Hand of Death of the Duchy of Fairs.

Day fifteen, the Coreit family sends a thank-you gift. You glance at it and toss it aside.

Opposite you is Luo Wengluo.

Her face is a little ugly, 'I failed to kill Karida...'

You nod, 'Work hard to improve yourself.'

Day sixteen, good news comes from the Heka Mountains that Zachary has been found.

You immediately go to the Heka Mountains.

You see A'Fei.

A'Fei prostrates respectfully when he sees you, and then begins to tell you, 'A person suspected of being the one you are looking for was found in an underground casino outside Dix City.'

Casino?

Hearing that it's such a place, you can already be sure that it is Zachary.

According to the information obtained from Kaffir, Zachary is a big gambler.

Because of gambling, he lost everything, including his title.

Unable to pay the high gambling debts, he took a risky gamble and stole the national treasure, Auston Cotta.

'Take me there!'

A'Fei immediately leads the way.

You follow A'Fei.

Soon you arrive at the location of the casino he mentioned.

The atmosphere here is lively, and everyone is red-faced and shouting loudly.

Looking around, everyone here is above the third order.

Being able to open a casino here, and with participants of this level, it can be seen that the person behind the casino has considerable power.
