Holy Item Sword of Courage

Gu Xi ignored everything and gently took out the sacred object that he had just obtained.

It was a Two-Handed Sword carved from stone, with moss even growing on the tip.

[Relic - Sword of Courage (Level 1): Can be placed in a city. Every leader, Hero, or chieftain in the city, or the player who occupies the city, will receive a permanent +3 attack power bonus.]

[Note 1: Once placed, the sacred relic cannot be moved. It will be destroyed if the city is breached.]

[Note 2: Relics can be placed in Auxiliary Building slots. Placing a relic grants +3 city experience.]

[Note 3: Relics can be upgraded through special methods or by human intervention.]

Looking at the attributes of the sacred object, Gu Xi hesitated for a moment, unable to determine whether it was good or bad.

The only relic he knew about was something he heard about in his textbooks when he was in school. It was said that the relic could turn enemies who attacked a city where it existed into Fresh Flowers on the spot, with a 3% chance of doing so.

This is completely different from the effect of the Sword of Courage in Gu Xi's hand.

Gu Xi hesitated for a moment.

Just then, footsteps came from the dock Gu Xi reached out and pulled, and the Cold Wind Staff sent Gu Xi onto the deck.

"My lord, I have summoned Kane."

As Luna spoke, she floated over to Gu Xi's side.

Seeing Luna approach, Gu Xi smiled and said, "Luna, you've come at the right time. Take a look at this."

Gu Xi raised the Sword of Courage, Luna's eyes lit up.

"A sacred object?"

"Huh, you could tell?"

Gu Xi was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Luna to have such insight.

"Yes, I can see that. There was one in Victoria City before, and it was even copied in Aryadovi City, right in the Upper District."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi's eyes lit up.

Is this a double blessing? He never expected that after just obtaining one sacred artifact, he would immediately hear news of another.

However, Gu Xi immediately asked seriously, "Luna, I saw in the description on the relic that the relic is destroyed after a city is captured. If we take the Upper District, will the relic be destroyed?"

"Probably not. Although we are currently in a hostile relationship with the Upper District, both our city and the Upper District are called Aryadovi, so we are actually one city."

"As long as we can take control of the Upper District, the relic will be ours. At most, we can't move the original location where it was placed."

"That's good. You can take this sacred object back first. Oh, and this is for you too."

As Gu Xi spoke, he took out the Construction Stone.

"We can use it directly when the Dragonbone Laboratory is built."

Luna took the Construction Stone and glanced at it, already knowing what it was for.

This is essentially a construction accelerator, compressing construction work that originally took one or two days to complete into an instant.

Although such things are not very common, they are not rare either. Luna only glanced at them before putting the Construction Stone away.

"My lord, I'll go and deal with the matter of the sacred object first."

Seeing that Gu Xi didn't take anything out, Luna immediately spoke up.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here. Hurry up."

Luna showed a hint of understanding, then turned and floated away again.

At this moment, on the dock, Kane and his Zombie were cleaning up the corpses of the Weird Coral People.

Upon seeing Gu Xi emerge from the ship, Kane quickly asked, "Sir, what do you intend to do with these corpses?"

Is there anything wrong with these corpses?

Gu Xi glanced at the corpse, which had turned into coral of different colors, and was still somewhat curious.

"These corpses are some good herbs. Different colors have different properties. If you don't need them, I will store them as herbs."

After hearing Kane's words, Gu Xi lost interest.

"Keep the herbs for now. I remember I have a design called Grave Herbal Garden. We'll see if this coral can be grown as a herb."

Kane had no objection to Gu Xi's order.

"Don't worry, sir, I will keep all the herbs safe. This is my job."

While talking to Kane, one of Kane's men suddenly dragged something over.

When he saw Gu Xi standing next to Kane, the subordinate hesitated. He didn't know whether to hand over what he had to Kane or Gu Xi.

"I can't do the appraisal, you should let Kane take a look."

Gu Xi immediately noticed the Zombie's hesitation and made room for it.

However, he still glanced over there curiously, wanting to know what the Zombie had found and would send it over for Kane to identify.

Kane took the West One District and examined it, discovering it was a rusty dagger.

Kane frowned. He thought the Zombie had found a weapon. Although this weapon was better than the one the Zombie in front of him was using, they were Zombie guarding the Dock Warehouse, doing hard labor and not needing to fight.

What's the use of a rusty dagger?

But as Kane looked at it more, he felt something was wrong; there seemed to be something wrong with the dagger.

"What is this?" Kane ran his hand over the dagger, then, as if he had discovered something, turned to look at Gu Xi. "My lord, please take a look."

Gu Xi never expected that he would have his own affairs while he was just watching the show. He took the short knife and looked at it, and found that it was actually a quest item.

[Ding! You have found a quest item. You can activate a Temporary Task!]

[Temporary Task: Map Carved on the Blade]

[Mission Description: Open the hidden chamber and defeat the guardian within!]

[Mission Requirements: Open the hidden chamber (0/1), defeat the guardian (0/1)]

[Mission Reward: Secret Chamber Treasure Chest (level depends on the secret chamber level).]

[Note 1: There is a map on the blade. Just stab wherever you think it looks like a secret room.]

[Note 2: Secret rooms are always located in enemy territory. Sometimes, a secret room can reveal unexpected surprises.]

"That's interesting."

Gu Xi has West One District quite a lot today at the Weird Dock.

Such an ordinary temporary weapon could no longer attract much attention from Gu Xi.

However, Gu Xi would not refute Kane's good intentions. He patted Kane on the shoulder and said.

"Alright, I'll take this dagger. If there are any more Temporary Task like this in the future, just put it in the warehouse and see if anyone is willing to take them on."

"Please rest assured, sir, I know how to handle this."

Just then, another voice reached Gu Xi's ears.

[The relic, the Sword of Courage, has been placed in the Aryadovi City. All leaders, Hero, and chieftains in the city will have their attack power permanently increased by 3.]

[You are affected by the Sword of Courage; your attack power is permanently increased by 3.]
