Chapter 23 Morpheus - The Pure Gold Sword

Whoosh!

An ice puck bursts out of the water, but before it can hit the ground, it is destroyed from the inside.

With a "bang," countless shards of ice flew in all directions.

Charlotte Linlin, Longbread, and Selene floated steadily in mid-air, their feet resting on Zeus, the thundercloud.

Whoosh!

With another splash, Kaido, now back in human form, jumped ashore.

Using the light from the little sun Prometheus, he surveyed his surroundings.

This is a spacious underground cave, dark and damp, like most underwater caves.

but!

There are human footprints on the ground here, besides theirs.

Moreover, its size is very close to that of Lox.

"Hmm, looks like this is the place!"

Charlotte Linlin also noticed the footprints on the ground.

"Mommy, that bastard Rocks really gave us a hard time finding him!!"

Cluck! Cluck!

Kaido twisted his neck with a hint of anticipation.

"Let's take a look!"

"What good things did Rocks leave behind in this godforsaken place?!"

The little sun Prometheus floats at the very front, responsible for providing light.

Kaido followed closely behind.

Charlotte, Linlin, and two others rode on Zeus, the thundercloud, slowly following at the very back.

A dozen minutes later.

The group finally reached the end of the cave.

Here, several enormous bubbles are clearly visible, suspended at a fixed height by ropes.

In this environment free from air currents and perpetually humid, these bubbles made from Yarchman mangrove resin can last for at least several years without breaking.

Moreover, each bubble contains a treasure chest as a double layer of protection.

With this double protection, even if the bubble bursts automatically when the time is up and the treasure chest falls to the ground, the treasure inside can still be preserved for a long time.

"Hmph, Lox really went to great lengths!"

"Given how well he's protected it, the items inside are probably quite valuable!"

"One, two, three, four, five, five bubbles in total, five treasure chests!"

"Lingling, which one do you think we should drive first?"

Charlotte Lingling sat cross-legged on the back of Zeus the Thundercloud, her beautiful amber eyes darting left and right.

"Open the long, narrow treasure chest in the middle first! It's right in the center, so it must be the most valuable!"

Kaido stepped forward, reached out and destroyed the bubbles, catching the falling treasure chest.

"It's a bit heavy, it feels like it might be a weapon. Lingling, you might be disappointed."

"Mommy, my intuition is always right! Even if it's a weapon, it'll definitely be the most valuable one!"

Charlotte Linlin was quite confident about this.

Kaido smiled and shook his head, then opened the treasure chest.

Lifting the red silk cloth covering the treasure, a golden knight's sword with a scabbard quietly reveals its true form.

"Just as I expected! It's just a golden sword, and only two meters long."

Kaido shrunk his size to 2 meters and reached out to pick up the golden knight's sword from the treasure chest.

With a clang, the longsword was drawn.

The magnificent sword flashed with golden light, but it quickly subsided after only a moment, returning to its ordinary golden form.

Of course, this sword has a very ornate design.

It is several times more magnificent and exquisite than those so-called craft swords.

Moreover, Kaido, who had fought against countless swordsmen, could tell.

This sword is not merely ornate; it is a true weapon capable of practical combat, with its lowest grade being a Greatsword.

"It's a pity that this sword is a bit small."

"If I were to use it, its size would have to be at least around four meters, and it might even have to be shrunk to three meters for it to be most handy."

Kaido looked up at Charlotte Linlin.

"Lingling, do you want it?"

Charlotte Linlin rolled her eyes. "If you can't use it, how am I supposed to?"

"If you give it to me, it can only be used as an ornament, or you can just sell it."

"Judging by its gorgeous design, it should sell for a lot of money."

……

"Um... there seems to be a small booklet inside the treasure chest!"

Just then, the sharp-eyed Selene suddenly spoke up.

"It was pressed down by the sword just now, Kaido, and it was only revealed after you picked up the sword."

Kaido looked down and indeed there was a small booklet about ten centimeters long and wide.

So he sheathed his sword, temporarily stored it in his system inventory, bent down, picked up the booklet, and opened it to read.

"Hmm, this records the origin and grade of this sword, as well as its special uses."

"Mommy, Kaido, read it aloud," Charlotte Linlin said expectantly.

"It's a bit long, so I'll just give a brief overview."

Kaido quickly finished browsing through the contents of the notebook, then said, "Let's start with the name and grade of this sword. Its full name is Morpheus Pure Gold Sword..."

"Morphid the Sword of Pure Gold?!"

However, before Kaido could even open his mouth, Selene suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Kaido raised an eyebrow.

Looking up, Selene had an expression of disbelief on her face.

"It seems you know about this sword? Why don't you tell me about it?"

Selene's eyes narrowed instantly.

After a brief hesitation of a few seconds, he nodded slightly.

"No...no problem."

She paused briefly, then spoke earnestly:

"Morphid the Sword of Pure Gold, that's the name of a legendary sword that can grant immortality!"

"It was once one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords!"

"Moreover, because of its ability to grant immortality, it ranks first among all the Supreme Grade Swords!"

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin immediately became excited.

"Mommy! Kaido, look! I told you my premonition wouldn't be wrong! This sword is definitely the most valuable of all Rocks' relics!! Mommy..."

Faced with the woman's smugness, Kaido could only nod and smile in acquiescence.

"You're absolutely right, you really impressed this time! I'm truly impressed!"

After complimenting Charlotte Linlin, Kaido gestured for Selene to continue.

Selene took a deep breath and continued her story.

"Legend has it that this sword was forged more than 500 years ago and was the personal sword of the king of the world's largest country besides Elbaf at that time!"

"Legend has it that the raw materials used to forge this sword included pure gold, which is said to grant immortality!"

"Moreover, crafted with the special skills of artisans, this sword will only emit a pure golden light that grants immortality when used by the king himself!"

"If any other outsider holds this sword, it will only be an ordinary golden sword."

"Legend has it that the king lived to be over 120 years old, but looked only in his thirties or forties."

"But then, the country was suddenly destroyed overnight, the king who had lived for over 120 years was killed, and the sword was lost that same night."

"Now, more than 500 years have passed, and the world has changed. No one believes that this sword ever really existed. They all mistakenly believe that it is just a fabricated legend."

"For this reason, this sword was forced to be removed from the list of famous swords."

"Now, apart from a very few people, there are hardly any people who know about the existence of this sword."

"I never imagined I'd see this precious sword here one day!!"

"Although I had some doubts when you drew this sword from its sheath just now, I still couldn't be sure."

"Because the Mephistopheles Sword has been absent from this world for far too long!"

"So long ago that I almost thought it was just a fabricated legend."

"But I never expected it! This sword is actually—"

"Morphid the Golden Sword!!"

After hearing Selene's complete account, Charlotte Linlin was completely agitated and could no longer contain herself.

Suddenly, an astonishing light flashed in her eyes.

"Quick! Kaido!! Give me that pure gold sword! I want eternal life!!"

"Ugh... I just asked you, and you said you didn't want it!"

Kaido smiled and closed the booklet in his hand. The contents recorded on it were almost identical to what Selene had told him.

Upon hearing Kaido's words, Charlotte Linlin was immediately furious.

"You brat! How dare you disobey me! Believe me or not, I'll just snatch it from your hands!"

"Don't forget! You can't beat me yet!!"

"Heh heh heh heh, then you try and steal one."

Kaido looked at the woman with a mocking expression, appearing completely unconcerned.

Charlotte Linlin's body crackled with black and red Conqueror's Haki lightning, and her terrifying killing intent intensified every second.

Selene stood by, her face tense with fear, but she dared not speak rashly, for fear that Kaido and Charlotte Linlin would actually start fighting if she said anything.

Longbread also had a serious expression and reached out to tug at Charlotte Linlin's sleeve.

"Lingling! Don't be impulsive! You two are husband and wife!!"

A few minutes later, seeing that Kaido was really standing there motionless and not frightened at all, Charlotte Linlin pouted in annoyance.

"Forget it, this is pointless. It won't scare you. I'm not playing anymore."

"Uro ro ro..."

Seeing Charlotte Linlin turn her head away, clearly angry, Kaido smiled and began to coax her:

"Don't worry, the light of immortality emitted by this sword is localized."

"It works for everyone who is touched by the light!"

"The king at that time not only lived to be over 120 years old, but his queen also lived to be over 120 years old, and she looked to be only in her 30s."

"Furthermore, this booklet also records that the princess was able to continue having children until she was 110 years old!"

Kaido waved the small booklet he was holding in his hand.

"Therefore, whether this pure gold sword is in your hands or mine, its effect is the same!"

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin's expression softened somewhat.

"In that case, it doesn't matter. Just keep it with you."

"Uro ro ro..."

Kaido chuckled softly, reached out and grasped, and the pure gold sword that he had just put into his system inventory reappeared in his hand.

Although Charlotte Linlin had already let it go, she couldn't help but be drawn back to this scene.

Kaido casually tossed it, and Charlotte Linlin caught it.

The sword was handed over so easily.

But the next second, Charlotte Linlin threw it back at Kaido.

"You said you'd keep it with you, so keep it safe!"

"My ability doesn't allow me to store things. If I carry them with me, they're either easy to lose or easy to be stolen."

"It's safest to store it using your storage-like storage solution!"

Kaido took the sword and then put it back into his system inventory.

"Let's leave this sword for now and move on to the next treasure chest."
