Chapter 447: The Drinking Cup
"Is this what you were looking for?"
Lucilia dusted herself off and climbed onto Alka's shoulder and asked. Alka looked at the gray cup in his hand and nodded.
"The wine glass that Emperor Saralan once loved has fallen into such a state." Lucilia couldn't help but say as she looked at the dust and dirt on the glass.
Alka handed the cup to Lucilia and then looked at the scene around him.
It was unknown how long the corpse in front of him had been dead. The clothes on his body and most of the things he carried had long since turned into debris and ashes with the passage of time.
However, next to it you can see the excavation tools that have been completely embroidered into a pile.
At the gap in the wall, you can see a toolkit placed there, of course the tools inside have long been damaged.
Xiadaiti, who had been walking around, came over, followed by Simon. There was really nothing to see around here, just an ordinary tomb.
"Is this a tomb robber?" Xia Daiti asked, looking at the corpse.
It was mainly based on the surrounding scenes, which were too obvious.
Alka nodded.
"I don't know how many years ago, maybe when the Saralan Empire hadn't been destroyed yet, this tomb robber came here."
"I used tools to chisel open the stone wall of the tomb and entered the tomb chamber. Then I used tools to chisel open the sarcophagus.
The protective mechanism of the sarcophagus must have been triggered, so he died. It might have been poison gas or something."
Because there were no external injuries on the corpse of the tomb robber outside.
Alka squatted down slightly and looked inside the broken sarcophagus. He saw a white light inside.
In other words, the white light seen on the map should all be in these sarcophagi and should be funerary objects.
Only some of the less valuable ones are placed outside.
The instant hourglass that Alka had obtained before should be well preserved.
The burial objects surrounding these older tombs have long been destroyed.
These should be things that the deceased loved during his lifetime. In addition, this is a family of moderate size. The things that the deceased loved should be relatively valuable antiques.
"But why is this wine glass on this tomb robber?" Xia Daiti asked with some confusion.
If this wine cup is the drinking cup of Emperor Saralan as Alka said.
No matter how you think about it, it's impossible that it's on the tomb robber's body.
They don't know yet that the Drinking Cup is actually a holy grail-level treasure.
"We don't know about that. Let it sink into the long river of history." Alka said with a smile.
How many coincidences and processes must have taken place for such a treasure to fall into the hands of a tomb robber.
"Then these sarcophagi..." Simon pointed to the coffins that had not been broken yet.
Alka shook his head and said, "Forget it. This isn't a very wealthy family, and the burial objects aren't necessarily very valuable.
These protective mechanisms may not have completely disappeared, but never mind, we have already taken what we need to take."
Hearing this, several people nodded and didn't say much.
If they were just ordinary burial objects, they would indeed have no value to them.
They returned to the hole they had just come out of, and then went up through the hole they had dug . After coming up, they covered the soil again and sealed the hole.
After coming out, Alka took the cup in his hand, and a water-blue water sign appeared next to him. A stream of water appeared and began to surround the cup.
Alka loosened the cup, and the water flow formed a spiral-like washing device and began to spiral around the cup to clean it.
Xia Daiti couldn't help but say as he watched this scene: "This should be considered an ancient artifact, right? Although it is a magical item, it has been so long. If it is cleaned violently like this, it might be damaged.
It will not be easy to sell it at a high enough value by then.”
As the appraiser and seller of most of the treasure on the ship, she had to give a reminder at this time.
Hearing this, Alka turned to look at her and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it will be fine. This is not an ordinary magic item... It is a treasure."
"Um?!!"
Several people around him turned around and stared at him with wide eyes. He didn't say such a thing just now.
"treasure?"
"Yes, it is a treasure, a treasure of the Holy Grail level."
Hearing this, Simone frowned, and she immediately thought of a big flaw: "That shouldn't be the case, if it is a treasure.
There was no way that the Great Lord Saralan would let this treasure be lost, could there? The connection between the treasure in his possession and its owner was so deep that it could not be taken away without being discovered by the Great Lord Saralan.
Not to mention that it was taken by a tomb robber and even brought into another tomb. This is too strange. "
Simon was the first to notice the problem and said.
When Alka heard this question, he just shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know why. I only know that this thing is indeed a treasure."
As he spoke, the turbid water fell into the mud under his feet. Alka took the completely cleaned drinking cup in his hand and placed it in front of everyone.
The cup was just as described.
Inlaid below is a thumb-sized gem, and carved on top is a pattern of a fat man having a banquet and drinking at a table, surrounded by various men and women dressed in extravagant clothes, dancing and drinking.
The overall structure should be forged from gold, and the cup looks very luxurious and exaggerated.
If it weren't for the relief carving of the Dionysus banquet from the Golden Age, this cup would really have a bit of rustic luxury.
Or maybe the former god of wine was just a pompous, rustic and extravagant god.
Alka put his magic power into the cup.
Three of the treasures he possessed repelled everything, but the cup repelled all four.
Of course, Alka can also suppress the cup with his scepter- level treasure and then force it to be used.
But this is meaningless, just like using a normal magic item.
It takes some effort to control.
"Didn't expect to obtain a Holy Grail-level treasure so easily?"
Xia Daiti took the cup, looked at it and couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Alka looked up at the sky. It can only be said that it was very easy for them.
If it were someone else, this treasure would probably remain buried there forever, unless someone dug up the tomb underneath one day.
Or there are new tomb robbers or treasure hunting groups searching for these tombs, and then they get unexpected gains.
However, for Alka, treasures like this, which are out in the open due to accidents and buried somewhere unknown, are the easiest to obtain.
For Alka, this accidentally lost treasure is no different from picking up money.
At most, it is just because the place where it was lost is different, so it requires more effort.
There is no deliberate hiding, no protective ritual for storage, and no guardianship by powerful creatures.
Just a place that is buried and may never be known.
For Alka, it's all about picking up money.
"What a pity, we no longer need Holy Grail-level treasures." Looking at the cup, Simon said with some regret.
"Take it out and sell it. It's a treasure, and it's also the drinking cup used by Emperor Saralan. Believe me, it can definitely be sold for a price higher than that of a Holy Grail-level treasure."
Xia Daiti said with a smile while looking at the cup in his hand.
At this time, the sky suddenly darkened, and the curtain of night covered the sky.
Seeing this situation, everyone quickly returned to the camp.
When everyone returned to the camp.
Jason looked at Alka and the others and said, "Did you gain anything? You actually stayed outside for a whole day."
That means I stayed there for about 20 hours.
Hearing this, Alka shook the cup in his hand.
"Is this the one?"
"Yes, the cup of guzzling."
Everyone in the camp gathered around. They didn't expect that he would only be out for a day, saying that he was going to explore the way first.
As a result, Alka and his friends got it directly.
The process of exploration directly turned into a journey of harvest.
"Tell me quickly how you got this thing." Urulius asked curiously.
Xiadaiti narrated their experiences of the day, while Alka placed the cup on the table for everyone to see.
He opened the map and looked at the golden light that had dimmed.
【Drinking Cup】
[Difficulty: Tomb Raider]
【Popularity: 665,000】
[Treasure information: The wine glass used by the founding emperor of the Saralan Empire and the savior.
For a person in such a high position, and also a person who loves fine wine, this is the favorite item of the emperor of the empire.
Left in a tomb that did not belong to him.
This is a treasure that can make the wine with special effects. This function can be used without mastering the treasure.
Wait, Alka looked at the last item that appeared in the introduction information after obtaining the treasure.
In other words, what is mentioned above is the function of being able to enhance the deliciousness of the wine in the cup and add special effects to the wine. The treasure can automatically produce such an effect without the treasure being in hand.
Seeing this effect, Alka did not think that it was fake.
I slapped my head and suddenly realized it. If this is the case, then what happened before makes sense.
In other words, this treasure is most likely not suitable for Emperor Saralan, but he discovered this function, so he has been using this treasure.
Because this treasure can unleash its essential power without being mastered.
Just like if the image of a treasure is a sword, and this sword is extremely strong and sharp, then even if you don't master the treasure and don't use its special abilities, it is still a sword that can be wielded and is sharp.
You can even use the sword's properties to block enemy attacks, as it is extremely difficult to damage.
This is why weapon-type treasures, or shield-type treasures, are very valuable. Because their appearance and the characteristics of the treasures will be strengthened differently.
Now, what determines whether the value of this treasure will continue to rise lies in the special effect it can bring to the wine poured into the glass. What are they specifically?
"So this is actually a treasure? You just went out for a whole day and brought back a treasure?" Jason asked with wide eyes as he looked at Xia Daiti who was telling the story.
Xia Dai nodded and said, "Although it's hard to believe, it's true."
"So what's the difference between this and picking up money? When can I go pick up some? Why am I so lucky?" Jason asked in confusion.
Hearing this, a silver snake appeared in Alka's hand, dangling in front of Jason, then bouncing up in front of him and holding it in his hand.
Alka, holding the silver snake, nodded: "Hmm... my luck has improved again."
Watching this scene, Jason felt like he had eaten a fly.
"You deserve to die!"
Mathilda looked at the cup in the middle, feeling a little regretful.
"We no longer lack Holy Grail-level treasures, and excessive possession would become a burden to us." It was somewhat regrettable to say this.
"No, this treasure is different."
Alka said as he dragged the cup in front of him, then looked at Juanlu: "Did you bring any wine?"
Juanlu nodded and spread out his hands. Suddenly a wine bottle appeared in his hands.
The embroidered wine bottle is filled with turquoise liquid, a bit like vegetable juice.
But it is also somewhat clear.
Alka took it, opened the wooden cork, and poured the wine into the glass in front of him.
The green wine fell into the glass.
Everyone looked at the wine in the glass, and there didn't seem to be anything special about it.
Alka blinked his eyes and didn't see the treasure working. He sniffed it but didn't feel anything different. After thinking for a while, he picked up the cup and took a sip.
He had drunk this wine before, so the wine in the glass had not changed at all.
Need magic?
Thinking of this, Alka reached out to grab the wine glass, and when the magic power was about to flow over, Alka hurriedly stopped.
Re-analyze the magic power that you are about to release, completely remove the mixed magic power from various treasures, and turn it into the purest magic power.
This is a skill that requires a high level of control over one's magic power to be able to perform such an operation.
Otherwise, your magic power will involuntarily carry the aura of the treasure.
This technique is one of the more difficult ones.
The pure magic power that was stripped and cleaned poured into the wine glass, and the wine glass really absorbed the magic power, which seemed to stimulate the effect.
The drink in the glass changed.
It is still green, but it exudes a faint forest-like fragrance.
The main feature of this wine is the feeling of returning to nature, and the fragrance of this wine lingers around everyone's nose.
Take a deep breath, as if returning to nature.
In addition to this, the drink also emits a faint green glow.
"Changed? In other words, this treasure has taken effect on its own?" Xia Daiti asked, looking at the cup.
Alka nodded, "Yes, that's it."
"This wine smells really attractive." Juanlu couldn't help but say.
"Let me try it first." Alka picked up the cup with a smile and took a sip.
The fragrant smell of wine bursts into the mouth, just like the natural breath of the forest in spring pouring into the mouth and penetrating into the heart.
It was as if the whole body was inexplicably emitting vitality.
"call……"
Exhaling, Alka opened his eyes.
In addition to improving the taste of the wine, Alka could also feel that the wine improved his physical fitness.
It seems to be a permanent improvement, but very, very subtle.
At the same time, it seemed to wash away the fatigue in my body and make my body rejuvenated.
"You guys try it too."
As he spoke, Alka handed over the wine glass, and everyone drank the wine in one gulp, and they all experienced the feeling.
"The taste and effect seem to be related to the characteristics of the wine inside. Let's change the wine." Juanlu, who drank it last, said, and then changed the wine again.
It is a strong liquor.
Alka nodded, picked up the liquor and poured it in. The liquor was very pure and transparent, like water.
When the liquor was poured in and the magic power surged in again, a very strong aroma of liquor wafted out. There was no other smell, just the pure aroma of strong liquor.
Alka took a sip, and the flaming wine flowed into his throat, as if it was about to catch fire.
It was like drinking a mouthful of magma rushing into my lungs.
Alka's skin was visibly red.
A heat even rose from his skin, and Alka opened his eyes.
“It’s so hot.”
He raised his right hand and clenched his fist so hard that he could see the blood vessels bursting out one by one.
"In addition to increasing the weak strength, it also strengthens the strength more. It should be temporary. And it can resist the cold winter."
Then this wine glass was interesting, and everyone began to experiment one by one to see what effect different wines could produce in the glass.
You know, Juanlu has all kinds of wine on him, and their ship also has many varieties of wine.
In the end, even Mathilda took out her own medicinal wine, which could also be called a medicine.
But it is made using the wine-making method, so it can also be considered a bar.
