There was once a saying that circulated in the tavern.

Known as "Lich- made items are always top-tier," these supreme Undead with near-infinite lifespans are capable of crafting astonishingly powerful equipment over countless years. Nearly a third of these Legendary Equipment, comparable to Artifact, are crafted by Lich, while the remainder are remnants from various peak Arcane Magic. Therefore, in the eyes of many Adventurer, the loot from defeating a Lich might even surpass that from slaying a Dragon.

The last piece of loot was quite ordinary.

It was a special Brooch of Shielding that, once activated, could imbue the wearer with three Spell.

These are Greater Mage Armor, Fire Shield, and Protection from Energy.

This is a high-level Charged Equipment, not Legendary Equipment that can automatically regenerate, so there's no need to pay too much attention to it. Soren simply put it on Vivian's chest; the little girl definitely needed some protective gear.

A day passed just like that.

Soren had a lot to do. Having suddenly swallowed up the territory of Pirate King Asroder, he and his pirate captains were busy taking over the land, inventorying supplies, transporting people, guarding prisoners, and managing Slave. Port Nyanzaru required a large labor force; even with tens of thousands of people, Soren could easily accommodate them. Therefore, the second thing he did after taking over Pirate King 'Asroder territory was to transfer the Slave population to Port Nyanzaru.

In the afternoon.

Just as Soren was getting a little dizzy from all the work, Vivian appeared outside the gate.

"Elder brother!"

The little girl let out a clear, melodious cry, then tugged at the Catgirl beside her, excitedly exclaiming, "Look what I found!"

A strange card appeared in the little girl's palm.

--[Deck of Many Things]!

Soren glanced at it and was immediately startled, asking, "The Deck of Many Things? Where did you find it?"

Vivian chuckled as she played with the card, then handed it to Soren, saying in a cheerful voice, "I was playing Lulumiao -seek with Lulu when I found it in a hidden compartment."

"This card was placed inside."

Such a long time has passed.

Soren never expected to see the legendary Deck of Many Things again at the Pirate King Asroder's place. Finding this item really requires a bit of luck, after all, they are extremely rare.

"Step back a little!"

Soren reached out and took the card. He gestured for the others in front of him to step back, and at the same time activated the Deck of Many Things.

The markings on it indicate that it has not been used.

The Deck of Many Things possesses unpredictability. As Legendary Item, it can unlock many special effects, including permanent attribute point increases and a large amount of extra Slaughter Experience. The Everlasting Impermanence faction contains three special cards: the Joker, the Sun, and the Iron Throne. Unlocking these three cards grants the user 50,000 Slaughter Experience, [amount missing Slaughter Experience, and [amount missing Slaughter Experience respectively.

Unfortunately, Soren has only ever seen other people draw the Joker card!

As Soren activated the Deck of Many Things before him, traces of the swirling magical runes on it gradually emerged. The first thing to appear was a glimmer of starlight, which brought a look of surprise to Soren's face, as he had likely drawn a card that would increase his attributes. However, as the moonlight appeared, a slight disappointment crossed his face, and then the image on the card materialized.

--"Deck of Many Things [Silver Moon]!"

As the pattern on it fully emerged, the radiance of the Silver Moon transformed into a surge of energy that flowed into Soren's body.

A row of data then appeared:

"Activate the Deck of Many Things!..."

"The drawn card is [Silver Moon]!... The drawer permanently gains 10 Hit Points!..."

I was pretty lucky.

Soren raised his hand and put away the card. He squatted down and gently stroked Vivian's head, whispering, "How did you know I needed this?"

The little girl nodded gently and said, "Because I saw that you have a few more cards like this, brother!... I'll let you in on a secret. Goria's Elder Sister has one of these cards too. I saw her looking at it over and over last night... If you like these cards, brother, Vivian can steal them for you, okay?"

One more?

Soren paused for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head and said, "No need."

He still couldn't quite gauge the extent of the Fallen Witch Corinna's power. Because after making a pact with the Demon, she was inherently someone who was difficult to trust.

It's best to avoid any unnecessary complications for now!

at the same time.

In a tower somewhere in the Duchy of Rosado, within a Laboratory chamber surrounded by layers of Spell Trap and sealed off by a Small Demiplane, a painful groan suddenly rang out. Accompanying this groan, the naked Red Dragon Duchess emerged from what resembled a nutrient tank. She still possessed her alluring appearance and a remarkably tall and seductive figure, but now she was completely bald, with almost no hair visible on her entire body.

"Damn Soren!"

A low, piercing growl, filled with suppressed pain and rage, rang out, and all the test tubes in the Laboratory surrounding the Red Dragon Duchess exploded.

The entire Laboratory was shaking.

The Red Dragon Duchess vented her anger in a shrill voice for a moment, then walked out expressionlessly. Her defeat and death had caused some minor trouble. The nobles of the Duchy of Rosado, whom she had suppressed, were now restless after hearing the news of her death at the hands of the Soren the Decapitated. Now she needed to deal with these guys again and show them that the one killed overseas was just a puppet, and that she would not be defeated so easily.

Falling Leaf City.

This day seemed no different from any other.

However, for the priests who worshipped the God of Half-Elves, today was a bolt from the blue. On this very day, they suddenly and completely lost contact with the God of Half-Elves, and no one could even obtain divine Divine Magic from the Sub-Deity. The statues in the temple appeared dim and lifeless; the aura emanating from the statues had never been so faint in hundreds of years. Although the priests had tried their best to block the flow of information, others could still vaguely hear something.

The God of Half-Elves has disappeared!

The priest could not pray for Divine Magic, and even the Avatar, who were connected to the realm of the Deity, could not find out his whereabouts.
