Chapter 263: Old History

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Half an hour later, in Blue Water Street of Jewel City, Aramsted.

Hua! Hua! Hua! The clear sound of water flowing echoed on the street.

Groups of Sirens held tridents in their hands as they swam towards the side of the street. Their tight security was like soldiers on an expedition, naturally revealing a strong killing intent.

The Sirens soon passed by...

Not long after the Sirens passed by, a string of bubbles suddenly appeared in a stone house by the side of the street.

In the house, Heath was standing in front of the window sill and nervously looking at the Sirens outside the door. He only heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw that they had gone far away.

“We’re finally safe!”

Although they were just alchemy puppets without a soul, such a large number of them were still terrifying. If Heath had not slipped away in time, he would have died here today.

“Tsk tsk, you’re really bold. You actually provoked so many Sirens.”

A mocking voice sounded, and Nina, dressed in a red dress, floated in from outside the window.

These Siren golems seemed to only attack specific targets, such as city destroyers like Heath. They had no interest in Nina, who came with Heath. After knowing this, Nina became a bystander.

Heath said, “Who knew there would be so many?”

After all, this was a city from ten thousand years ago. He had thought that this place should be the ruins of various facilities, but he did not expect that the city defense facilities were still intact and could be so powerful.

At this point, he frowned and said with a puzzled expression, “Speaking of which, this place really doesn’t look like a ruin. The streets and other things are still intact. What’s going on? Do you know, Nina?”

Such a place shouldn’t have been destroyed.

Nina pondered for a moment and suddenly said, “If my guess is correct, this place... should be Jewel City, one of the seven major cities of the Aramsted Civilization.”

“It’s said that this city disappeared before the Battle of the Gods. I think you should have heard of it too. It’s the story of the Sea God’s daughter.”

Heath was surprised. “The one who eloped with the sailor? Is that really true?”

Nina nodded. “Although it’s not quite the same as the story described, it’s true.”

“The Siren Sea God had seven children and they helped it manage seven cities. It was said that this Jewel City was handed over to its youngest daughter, Selena, to manage. The daughter was produced from a Siren and a human.”

“It was said that for some reason, Selena got into a fight with a Siren and stole a bracelet. Rumors of elopement originated from here.”

“It is said that her actions angered the Sirens, so the Sirens summoned a flood and a tsunami to destroy Jewel City.”

Nina said, “Ah, now it seems that the rumors may be true. Jewel City was indeed sunk to the bottom of the sea by the Sirens. I think that may be the reason why the facilities here are not damaged. After all, this place did not experience the flames of war from the beginning. Instead, it was directly submerged by the Sirens with water, so the city is still intact.”

Heath raised his eyebrows.

He knew very little about the Golden Islands. He had only read about it in a few books, such as ‘The Myths and Legends of the Gold Coast.’ It was the first time he had heard about it from Nina.

“What is that bracelet? Is it very important?” he asked, puzzled

Both the legend and Nina’s description clearly showed that the bracelet was the main reason for angering the Sirens.

Nina nodded and said, “It’s very important. It’s the Sea God Bracelet. It has the ability to control the entire sea. Anyone who gets it will have the entire sea.”

“What?”

Heath was shocked.

The area that occupied most of the Wizard World was definitely the sea. There were countless treasures in the sea. To be able to control the entire sea, the benefits were self-evident.

He quickly asked, “Then the Sea God Bracelet now...”

Nina rolled her eyes at him. “What are you thinking? Of course the Siren got its bracelet back. Otherwise, what would it use to rule the sea?”

“Unfortunately, the Sirens are no longer in charge of the pace of the times.”

“Although they got their bracelet back, they were still defeated in the Battle of the Gods. The bracelet was also damaged at that time. After that, it was said that the bracelet was divided into two parts. One was given to the Sea Race for safekeeping, and the other was given to the Wizards.”

Heath was greatly disappointed. “Is that so...”

At first, he thought that he would be able to get a great deal today. It seemed that he was thinking too much.

But at this time, Nina added, “Although the Sea God Bracelet doesn’t need to be thought of, the Seventh Gem can still be thought of.”

Heath was stunned. “The Seventh Gem?”

Nina explained, “The Sea God Bracelet has a total of seven gems embedded in it. It is said that each of them has great power.”

“When the sirens flooded the gem city, they had a battle with Selena. During the battle, one of the gems was destroyed. This is the Seventh Gem.”

“It is said that the Sea God lost the war largely because the Sea God Bracelet was incomplete. It was unable to fully mobilize the power of the sea. Of course, my teacher thought that this was just nonsense. He said that the Sea God’s loss was inevitable. After all, the era of Wizards was coming.”

So that was the case.

This was the first time Heath had heard of this secret history. He was curious as to who Nina’s teacher was. How could he know so much?

Heath asked, “Then is the Seventh Gem really in this city?”

Nina said, “It is very likely, but it is very difficult to find it. It is really like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is said that the Seventh Gem has a concealing effect. Once it leaves the Sea God Bracelet, it will become no different from an ordinary stone. There are no features at all. If it is not in your hands, it is impossible to identify it. You can imagine how difficult it is to find it in this sea.”

“Of course, if we can find it, we’ll be rich!”

“Both the Seafolk Race and the Wizards are looking for this gem, especially the Seafolk Race. The price they offered is enough for an Apprentice to advance to a Stigmata Wizard!”

Heath was excited.

If anyone else had heard of this clue, they could only wish for it. After all, it was not difficult to find a stone in the vast sea. It was a mission that even if they exhausted their life force, they would not be able to complete.

However, Heath was different. After all, with the powerful external aid of the system, his search efficiency was much higher.

‘No matter how well hidden it is, it is still an extraordinary substance. As long as it is an extraordinary substance, it can not escape the eyes of the system...’

Heath was quickly calculating in his heart...

Clang! Clang! Clang! At this moment, a muffled bell rang outside.

And with the bell ring, a strange scene appeared....
