Chapter 178: Sea Clan Treasury

“I haven’t been part of the Sea Clan for a long time.” Hai Ruoou shook her head with a bitter smile. “Twelve years ago, a big war happened between the Human Race and the Sea Clan. In that war, both Vela’s and my parents died, and little Vela was captured. There were many deaths in the war between the two clans, and it was supposed to last a very long time. But later, because of a certain reason, our two clans had to end that war early and make an agreement. Before making that agreement, I left the Sea Clan first.”

“An agreement? Does it mean having us Adventurers continue your fight?” Chen Mo frowned and asked.

“Yes. Twelve years ago, someone predicted that twelve years later, Adventurers who cannot die would appear in large numbers. The fighting between the clans had to stop before the Adventurers appeared. Even after Adventurers appeared, the conflicts between the clans had to rely on Adventurers to carry out. We Natives could only send a few supporting Natives to join the fight at most. To avoid this rule, I left the Sea Clan and became a Native with no affiliation.” Hai Ruoou said calmly.

Someone predicted twelve years ago that Adventurers would appear in large numbers… Hmm, it seemed this was probably the setting of the Game World’s background.

“What benefits does this bring you? Why did you listen to that person?” Even though he knew it was part of the plot setting, Chen Mo couldn’t help but ask.

“That person had super powerful Strength. He could destroy a city with just a wave of his hand. If we didn’t listen to him and insisted on fighting, he would destroy us before our enemies could.

But if we listened to him and did as he said, after twelve years, using Adventurers to fight, the winning side would get a good reward.”

Huh? From Hai Ruoou’s words, it didn’t seem like just a simple plot setting.

From what Hai Ruoou said, that super strong person really did appear and destroyed a city, which frightened all the clans and made them obey.

But the winning side got a reward. That super strong person seemed to be the GM of this Game World.

“In the fight against Eastern Sea City, your Sea Clan won, so why were you being chased?”

Chen Mo felt a bit of a headache from thinking too much and decided to stop, asking again about the reason Hai Ruoou was being chased.

“I said before, I’m no longer part of the Sea Clan. But in the past, both Haiweila and I were royalty of Tianhai City, and we were supposed to continue owning Tianhai City. But twelve years ago, I was controlled by Hatred and left the Sea Clan to get revenge. The people of Tianhai City supported me. Over these twelve years, even though I left the royal family, I was still like half the ruler of Tianhai City. But that was just my wrong idea. I only found out now that several years ago, I already had no ruling power in Tianhai City. All the power went into Leopold’s hands.

Leopold is my cousin. After I left the Sea Clan, he has been managing Tianhai City. At first, he really wanted to get revenge for my parents. But over the years, he got used to controlling Tianhai City and was afraid I would take back the control one day. So he prepared to take power early, and I didn’t know about it at all. If he didn’t think I was still very useful in the attack on Eastern Sea City, he probably would have killed me long ago and taken complete control of Eastern Sea City.

The reward that person promised was too much, and it was very attractive to Leopold. He didn’t want to give it up.

And after I led the Sea Clan Adventurers to win this fight, I barely escaped back from Eastern Sea City, and Leopold couldn’t wait to move against me.”

Hai Ruoou sighed and said. Joanna of the Human Race’s Darkness Erosion didn’t kill her, but she almost died at the hands of the Sea Clan.

“Sister, you’ve worked hard.” Haiweila looked at Hai Ruoou with heartache.

“It’s not hard. Being able to see you, everything sister did was worth it.” Hai Ruoou gently held Haiweila’s small hand.

Over ten years of effort almost went to waste, but a small unintentional thing saved everything for her.

“What do you plan to do next?” Chen Mo asked.

Damn it, he thought after saving Haiweila, he could be friends with the high-level Sea Clan NPCs. But in the end, it was all for nothing. He got nothing. Haiweila’s backer was being chased, and his plans failed.

“I don’t want to go back to the Sea Clan. The Tianhai City now is not the Tianhai City of the past. Even if Haiweila and I go back to expose Leopold, it would only make Tianhai City a bit more chaotic. With Leopold’s methods, it would only put Haiweila in danger. I just want Haiweila to live well. I don’t need Tianhai City. Haiweila and I are children of the sea. We can live anywhere on the sea.” Hai Ruoou said calmly.

“But before leaving, I hope you, Adventurer, can help me steal something from the Sea Clan Treasury in Tianhai City. It’s a bottle of Source of the Sea. After drinking it, Haiweila can get her Strength back, so she can protect herself.”

Sea Clan Treasury?

Chen Mo’s heart jumped!

Hahaha, as expected, saving NPCs wasn’t for nothing. He worked so hard to save Haiweila, how could he get nothing?

The Sea Clan Treasury was mentioned. If he could sneak in, he would steal everything inside!

“Miss Hai Ruoou, please tell me. Haiweila and I have a good relationship. Her matters are my matters. I will definitely help her get the Source of the Sea. The problem is, I don’t know where the Sea Clan Treasury is at all, and trying to sneak in is extremely difficult!” Chen Mo quickly said.

The Sea Clan Treasury, Hai Ruoou would definitely tell him the location. But he knew it wouldn’t be easy to sneak into the treasury unnoticed.

Even though the Human Race and the Sea Clan were not fighting now, and Sea Clan Players wouldn’t see him as a noticeable red, he was still too famous in the Sea Clan. It would be very hard to get into the Sea Clan Treasury, not to mention that the Sea Clan Treasury probably had NPCs guarding it.

“You don’t need to worry. Even though I left the Sea Clan, a long time ago, I prepared a way out. I know a water route that goes straight to the Sea Clan Treasury. You just need to enter the Sea Clan city, buy some underwater breathing Potions to let you breathe underwater for half an hour, and you can easily go through that water route and directly enter the Sea Clan Treasury!”

That simple?

Chen Mo’s eyes lit up. He had the Advanced Swimming Skill, so he didn’t need to buy underwater breathing Potions at all. Didn’t that mean he could enter the Sea Clan Treasury full of wealth without any risk?

But Hai Ruoou clearly hadn’t finished speaking. She continued to add.

“Entering the Sea Clan Treasury is not a problem. The problem is that all the treasures and wealth inside the treasury are protected by small magic shields. These magic shields can only be opened by getting the magic key. For you, you must break the magic shield’s energy to get the items inside. But once you attack the magic shield, the treasury’s alarm System will go off. Normally, in less than five minutes, the royal guards will enter the treasury and catch you.”

“Five minutes? How many magic shields can be opened in that time?”

“How many magic shields? Don’t joke. Even though you’re pretty good, you probably can’t even break half a magic shield!” Hai Ruoou shook her head.

Darn it, not even half a magic shield? Then what’s the use of going in!

Chen Mo felt a bit discouraged. According to this setting, even if he could get the Source of the Sea, he could only look at the other things in the Sea Clan Treasury but not take them.

“But five minutes is only the usual time. Tomorrow, if you enter the Sea Clan Treasury, you will have at least thirty minutes of activity time! The royal guards need Leopold’s permission to enter the treasury. And tomorrow, Leopold will go to the meeting to share the spoils from attacking Eastern Sea City. He won’t be in Tianhai City. At that time, the royal guards will need much more time to get his permission.”

Hai Ruoou explained further. Chen Mo then learned that there wasn’t only one Sea Clan city, but two more as well.

This attack on Eastern Sea City was carried out by Players from all three Sea Clan cities gathering in Tianhai City, which was the closest to Eastern Sea City.

“Thirty minutes! Great, Miss Hai Ruoou, what time do we act tomorrow?”

Chen Mo immediately perked up.

If breaking one magic shield took about ten minutes, even with bad luck, he could break two. With good luck, he could break three.

Besides the Source of the Sea, he could get one or two more items as income.

That was the Sea Clan Treasury. The things inside must be very valuable. Getting one or two items would make this trip to the Sea Clan worthwhile.

“Tomorrow at noon, Leopold will leave Tianhai City. At that time, I’ll take you to that secret waterway. After you sneak into the Sea Clan Treasury, remember to find the blue Treasure Chest in the leftmost corner. Inside it is the Source of the Sea. After getting the Source of the Sea, if you still have time, you can try to take other things. But you must remember, you only have thirty minutes at most. When it’s almost thirty minutes, you need to leave right away. Otherwise, if the royal guards find you, it will be too late to escape through the waterway.”

Hai Ruoou seriously warned. Chen Mo nodded, looking forward to tomorrow.

The Sea Clan Treasury, who knew how much wealth was inside. If he could get two more items out, it would be hard not to get rich.

After that, the two sisters, Hai Ruoou and Haiweila, started to catch up after their reunion. Chen Mo felt he had nothing to do, so he stretched and decided to log off and rest.

These days, he had been fooling around with Yang Liu a lot and hadn’t rested properly.

The next day, near noon, Chen Mo logged in. Hai Ruoou was already waiting for him.

“Are you ready? After you’re ready, I’ll take you to the entrance of the secret waterway.” Hai Ruoou asked.

After Chen Mo nodded to show he was ready, Hai Ruoou had Haiweila control the Clamshell, quickly moving towards the coast north of Tianhai City.
