Lilith's Brought-Back Treasure Chest

As the prompt fell, Fang Yuan's brow furrowed slightly.

"An Orange Token!"

"And it's related to dragons!"

In the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, dragons were among the top-tier combatants of the superior races. Dragon Knights were one of the Human race's most powerful troop types. However, no Lord had yet managed to truly recruit a Dragon Knight hero or their corresponding troop units. At most, there were some Wyrms. But even so, the combat power of Wyrms was top-tier.

It was precisely for this reason that, in everyone's understanding, items related to dragons generally represented power and rarity. Fang Yuan hadn't expected that the item he obtained from the Blessing would be Dragon Blood. And it was a token at that. Tokens represented quests that could be unlocked, and an Orange Token signified an Orange quest. Coupled with the specificity of Dragon Blood, it meant this quest would be related to dragons. The rewards would surely not be low, but the danger would be high as well.

"Let's see what specific quest this Dragon Blood can unlock first." He quickly took out the Dragon Blood from his inventory to check its panel.

[Name]: Dragon Blood [Quality]: Orange [Function]: Dragon blood dripped from an Epic Dragon after it was injured. [Remarks]: A great Dragon Slaying War once occurred in the Northern Territory. A powerful Evil Dragon emerged from the mountains, and legendary Dragon Slayers besieged it. They fought fiercely with the Evil Dragon for ten months. The Evil Dragon's blood rained down from the sky. The Dragon Slayers and the Evil Dragon vanished together. Using this will unlock an Orange Scouting Mission to search for the missing Dragon Slayers and the Evil Dragon.

"This!"

"It's a Scouting Mission." Fang Yuan was a bit disappointed upon seeing the remarks. Among the quests unlocked by tokens, Scouting Missions were the most difficult to complete. They required the Lord to dispatch a large army to search for clues, which took a very long time and consumed a lot of money. However, the rewards were uncertain. Some Scouting Missions offered generous rewards, with a single run yielding millions in gold. Some Scouting Missions, after costing millions, might ultimately yield only a few pieces of dead men's bones.

The huge uncertainty led Lords to call Scouting Missions "Emperor of Luck exclusive." Only those Lords with exceptionally good luck dared to undertake them, and even then, they couldn't guarantee good luck every time. One failure could even lead to the loss of their territory. Therefore, most Lords wouldn't attempt them. Even if they obtained such a high-level token, they would choose to sell it.

Fang Yuan looked at the smooth blood droplet in his hand and shook his head helplessly. "I can't afford to mess around with this right now. I'll put it aside for now and deal with it later."

"I didn't expect that for my second Blessing, I'd get a useless token. Oh well, Blessings are like lotteries. If it's not this time, it'll be next time." Fang Yuan then put away the Dragon Blood in his hand.

At this moment, Lilith's voice came from outside the hall again.

"Huh!"

"How do I smell a trace of Evil Dragon?"

When Lilith came in, she saw Fang Yuan about to put away the Dragon Blood.

"Lord, how do you have Red Dragon Blood?" Fang Yuan asked, somewhat surprised.

"You recognize this Dragon Blood?" Lilith took the Dragon Blood, examined it, and then shook her head.

"No, but as Red Dragons are dragons of the evil alignment, I recognize their blood."

"This Red Dragon Blood has a trace of Mist Rule on it."

"It's a shame I can't open it to track the Red Dragon."

"Only the Lord can decipher it."

"If you can find the Red Dragon's lair, with how wealthy dragon lairs are,"

"The Lord will immediately become the wealthiest Lord under the heavens."

Fang Yuan, upon hearing this, said, "It's not that easy. Scouting Missions don't even provide a specific location."

"I'll keep it for now. We can talk about it when there's an opportunity."

"Oh, right, Lilith, did you find anything when you were excavating for treasure?"

Lilith shrugged.

"I only dug up one treasure chest."

"I didn't open it this time. Lord, please open it yourself."

With that, she placed the treasure chest on Fang Yuan's panel.

[Name]: Fine Treasure Chest

[Use]: Opening it may yield treasures, or it might contain monsters.

"It can also contain monsters?" Fang Yuan asked Lilith.

"Of course, Mimics are monsters that disguise themselves as treasure chests. Low-level adventurers who get close will be eaten in one bite."

"And filthy Goblins will hide inside treasure chests to ambush adventurers."

"But those are just minor tricks."

"With me by your side, Lord, you can open it with confidence."

Fang Yuan nodded slightly, then gently snapped his fingers.

The treasure chest opened with a "clack."

"Ding, you have opened a Fine Treasure Chest and obtained an Unknown Map *1, Gold Coins *3000, and Anubi's Letter *1."

Following the notification sound, Fang Yuan checked the items he had obtained.

First was the Unknown Map.

Upon opening it, a prompt immediately appeared.

"Ding, discovered a map of the Golden Flower Family's pioneer territory. Use it!"

This sudden sound made Fang Yuan's expression falter slightly.

Immediately, his face showed an expression of disbelief.

"This Unknown Map is actually a map leading to the Golden Flower Family's pioneer territory."

"It's truly a case of searching high and low for something that appears when you least expect it."

"I thought completing this mission would be a distant prospect, but the clue has appeared so quickly."

Fang Yuan clicked to use it without hesitation.

Soon, the map was read by the Lord's Mark.

The map also marked the location of the mission to rescue the Golden Flower Family.

"The mission point is fifty kilometers northeast of my territory."

"That's a bit far."

"We'll have to explore a large area in between."

"And it's all mountain forests shrouded in War Mist."

"No wonder this mission has a 30-day time limit."

"I suspect the completion difficulty is not ordinary."

Lilith, seeing Fang Yuan in thought, took the map to examine it and also noticed a clue.

"Huh, Lord."

"Could the place fifty kilometers away be the next mission objective?"

Lilith knew about the second mission.

Fang Yuan nodded.

"It should be."

Lilith continued, "Fifty kilometers, and in the northeast direction. If I'm guessing correctly, it should be near the edge of the forest."

"There won't be a shortage of monster lairs along the way."

"If you plan to send troops there, Lord, you'll need to ensure an army of at least 2,000."

"We'll also need to establish supply points along the route, otherwise, if we encounter a Mist Tide, troops entering the War Mist can easily get lost."

Lilith's reminder made Fang Yuan realize that to open up the northeast direction.

He would likely have to invest a huge amount of resources.

He sighed slightly.

"I know. We'll talk about it later."

"There's no rush for now; this mission has thirty days."

"Let's look at the other items in the treasure chest first."

Among these items, gold coins were a given.

Three thousand gold coins were barely anything to him right now.

Finally, there was that letter from Anubi.

Fang Yuan took it out and flipped through it for a moment.

He thought to himself, "Could this letter be another new mission?"

With a sense of curiosity, Fang Yuan quickly opened Anubi's letter and began to read.

A moment later.

Fang Yuan put down the letter and murmured.

"A garrison!"

"There's actually a garrison in the northeast direction!"

"Then that's a military territory!!!"
