Chapter 1823 A Space Element Technique

Grey was the last to enter the building, he wasnʼt in a hurry. To be honest, the moment the array formation was broken, he didnʼt sense any form of danger from the building. The thought of only this array being set up to stop them came to mind. He couldnʼt believe that this was the only form of protection this place had. Just as Grey speculated, they didnʼt encounter any more danger as they entered the building.

The building wasnʼt large, only around fifty to sixty square meters, having a few small rooms. Looking around, Grey noticed that they were in an empty hall, seeing the doors around, he knew that whatever treasures were here were all kept in these rooms.

City Lord Vaughn looked around and inquired, ”Would you all like to investigate each room together or should we all move separately?”

If they moved in a group, then whatever is found would be shared by each of them. However, if they started to explore each room on their own, then the chances of some of them returning empty-handed was quite high. Of course, this also means that some people will benefit more.

City Lord Vaughn glanced at Lord Harry who didnʼt utter a word and moved closer to him, they were long time friends, and also the City and Vice City Lords of Raging Flames City, so itʼs normal that he wanted to move with City Lord Vaughn. City Lord Vaughn glanced at Grey and saw that he had an expression that said ʼhe was fine with whichever decision they madeʼ.

The two City Lords exchanged glances, recalling that only City Lord Vaughn was able to break through the array, they didnʼt dare to get separated from him. The skeletons on the courtyard are enough to kill whatever greed they had. Besides, itʼs not like theyʼve even seen any treasure yet

”Since thatʼs the case, then letʼs go.”

City Lord Vaughn walked straight to the nearest door. There were six rooms in total, and the group started with the first one. They were very cautious, probing carefully before trying to open the door. The door didnʼt prove to be too difficult, although it was sealed by some special means, it didnʼt take long for a group with their strength to break through the protection placed on the door. Without the protection, the room was opened.

The first room looked to be like a workshop. The room was around eight square meters, with three one meter long tables placed on the side. Each table contained a single item. Other than this table, the room was basically empty as there was nothing else.

City Lord Vaughn thought for a while before saying, ”We donʼt know whatʼs in the other rooms. If everyone is okay with it, this Old man will keep everything, and when weʼre done we can share them. If anyone has any objections, they can speak up.”

Hearing City Lord Vaughnʼs words, the other two City Lords exchanged glances with Grey. They knew Lord Harry naturally wouldnʼt have any issues with this, and after giving it some thoughts, they nodded to it too. First off, thereʼs no way City Lord Vaughn could cheat them since they were seeing the items. And although City Lord Vaughn is powerful, the two City Lords believed that if push came to shove, theyʼd be able to take down City Lord Vaughn on their own. As long as Grey could deal with Lord Harry, that is.

City Lord Vaughn made his move, stretching his hand toward the first table. As soon as his hand got close, a sense of danger came, causing him to pause for only about a second. He quickly steeled his mind, circulating his essence in preparation for any unforeseen events. To the surprise of everyone, although the protective barrier around the first table looked strong, it was shattered by City Lord Vaughnʼs essence with ease.

Without the protective light, the item placed on the table came to view. It was a scroll that looked ancient. Picking it up, City Lord Vaughn inspected it for a while, looking around, he knew the others were also quite curious as to what the scroll contained.

After a cursory glance, he tossed it to the others to also take a look. Lord Harry wasnʼt interested, but the other two City Lords took turns inspecting the scroll before it was handed over to Grey. Looking at the scroll, a strange sense of familiarity washed over him, raising a brow, he curiously studied the scroll. After he was done inspecting it, he tossed the scroll back to City Lord Vaughn. On the surface Grey was very calm, but internally, his heart was pounding ferociously. This scroll contained a space elemental technique.

Since awakening his space element, it has basically been his most important element. Without the space element, he knew he wouldʼve died countless times over already. Moreover, from what he could tell, this was a space elemental attack technique. Other than dimensional slash, he didnʼt know any other space elemental techniques. So seeing one here, he was almost blinded by greed. Luckily, he wasnʼt a greedy person.

City Lord Vaughn walked over to the next table, repeating the same process, he broke the protective barrier. The next item wasnʼt a scroll, but a small fiery red bead. Seeing the bead, Greyʼs eyes lit up with a fiery light. Not just Grey, City Lord Vaughn and the others also showed exhilaration. They didnʼt have any idea what the space element was, so seeing the first scroll and what it contained, they didnʼt show much of a reaction. This was also the same reason Grey made sure he didnʼt show any reactions too. As long as these people didnʼt know how important this scroll was, then it would be easy for Grey to take it when they were sharing the treasures.

This fiery bead contained a pure fire elemental essence, and being the City Lord of Raging Flames City, itʼs quite easy to tell how attractive this was going to be for City Lord Vaughn.
