After picking up the equipment, Lin Shuang sped back to the main city. When he returned to the dazzling City Lord Manor, City Lord Leonard and Xu Ni had been waiting for a long time.

Lin Shuang took out the box from his backpack and handed it to Leonard. “Honorable City Lord, I've already followed your instructions and defeated the Demonic Beast, Blazing Dragon, in the cave of the Cloudy Abyss and obtained the treasure box.”

Leonard looked at Lin Shuang happily, very satisfied with him. “Brave young man, I didn't expect you to really complete the mission and bring back this treasure box that had been lost in the Cloudy Abyss for many years. It's really admirable!”

The three of them focused their gazes on the treasure box and studied it for a long time, but they could not find a way to open it.

“City Lord, this is indeed a gift from the sky back then.” Xu Ni recognized the origin of this item, but he could not open it.

“What the hell is going on?”

Lin Shuang watched the two of them talk in riddles and was a little anxious. This belonged to the God Clan, so it must be related to the God Clan. Perhaps he could find some clues.

Leonard let out a long sigh and hugged the box as he explained. “It's said that every generation of City Lords will record important matters during their tenure in the City Lord Manual. After I took over as City Lord, I learned something from the City Lord Manual.”

Hundreds of years ago, a Divine General of the God Clan fell. His soul landed in the Valley of Gods. Before this, the God Clan in the sky had accidentally lost a demonic beast cub. It was the Blazing Dragon of the Cloudy Abyss.

The God Clan said that they had protected the entire Juxiang City and brought a gift from the God Clan. This was a gift from God and should have been protected by the City Lord. However, because they had lost this demonic cub, the angry God Clan sealed this gift in the Cloudy Abyss, burying all those who tried to obtain the treasure.

Xu Ni was once the most outstanding knight. When he was young, he led the warriors to patrol Juxiang City in high spirits. By chance, he accidentally discovered the remnant soul of the Valley of Gods. He wanted to investigate, but no one in the entire team survived except him.

After that, he threw himself into the tavern and drank all day, but he was always concerned about the Valley of Gods. This was his tether, and it was precisely because of this that he was unwilling to meet City Lord Leonard.

“It was your appearance that broke the stalemate and helped us eliminate the demonic beast.”

The adult demonic beast no longer knew its place and harmed many innocent people. This was why there was no one in the Cloudy Abyss.

Leonard's gaze focused on the brocade box again, trying to open it to obtain the treasure. Leonard and Xu Ni racked their brains, but the brocade box in their hands did not move at all. Suddenly, Lin Shuang realized that there was a groove on the top of the brocade box, as if it needed a key to open it.

“Can I try?” Lin Shuang asked tentatively, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Leonard handed him the brocade box in anticipation. Lin Shuang picked up the brocade box and observed it carefully. It was indeed as he had thought. Then, he took out a complete colored stone that looked like an icicle from his backpack and inserted it into the groove.

In an instant, the golden brocade box was opened, and a strong golden light appeared. The three of them raised their hands to block the strong light. When the light dimmed, the three of them looked at the opened brocade box. There was a crystal core inside. It was very similar to the chip in the real world and flickered with golden light.

“What is this?” Lin Shuang had never seen this treasure before. After Leonard took it, he cast a specific spell. This crystal core immediately emitted a strong light in the air.

The three of them immediately saw a video. It was like a screen movie, describing the God Clan. In the scene, an ancient aura was filled. The extremely luxurious hall was resplendent and majestic. On the gilded steps was a golden throne. It had a vivid dragon head and a pair of black eyes.

The man in armor was emitting golden light. His expression was serious as he sat upright. His eyebrows were sharp and his amber eyes were solemn as he looked at the man kneeling below.

“She has already betrayed the God Clan, but this achievement was supported by our God Clan. It should belong to the God Clan!” As he spoke, he placed a crystal core in a golden brocade box. It was the box Lin Shuang had brought back. “This is the blessing of the God Clan. You know what to do. Go and let the Blazing Dragon help you.”

Lin Shuang frowned. Could it be that the Blazing Dragon was not lost but deliberately put down by the God Clan? Using the excuse that the Blazing Dragon had disappeared to seal this thing, it seemed that the God Clan had planned all of this many years ago.

The scene changed to a woman in a black and gold dress. Her entire body emitted a black aura, and a pair of black wings grew on her back. She held a sword made of black iron. The blade flickered with a cold light as she pointed it at the God Clan's man in front of her. It was the man kneeling on the ground just now. “How dare you have designs on a demonic beast? You really don't take me seriously!”

The man sneered and said teasingly, “You've already betrayed the God Clan and degenerated into a demon. You have no right to obtain a demonic beast. I advise you not to fight me head-on. You might not be my match!”

The two of them confronted each other and fought in the next second. In a flash, the man stabbed the woman in the chest.

The scene changed again. The man had fallen and turned into a remnant soul. It was the remnant soul that Lin Shuang had destroyed previously.

The three scenes were connected. Lin Shuang frowned and immediately felt that this matter was not simple.

“It seems that this might be a blessing from the God Clan to protect us for a long time.” Leonard's face was filled with admiration. When he came back to his senses, he waved his hand and a huge treasure chest appeared. “Brave adventurer, thank you for answering my confusion for many years and allowing us to reconcile. As a thank you, this is my special reward for you.”

Leonard restrained his dignity as the City Lord. He had a kind face and an amiable expression.

“System Notification: Congratulations, you have completed the mission: Hidden mission of Juxiang City's City Lord—Mysterious Treasure Box. You have received 1,000 experience, 10 gold coins, and a mysterious treasure chest. Do you want to open the mysterious treasure chest?”

The reward this time was very generous, and Lin Shuang was even more curious about what treasures were in the treasure chest.

“Open.” With a command, the huge treasure chest instantly opened. There were two dragon eggs the size of watermelons inside. One was completely black and its shell was covered in black-gold dragon scales. The other was dark green in color, and its shell was as bright as a diamond.

In Glory, the dragons they encountered usually appeared as Bosses. They could only be killed to obtain equipment and not captured as pet mounts.

“This is a dragon egg?” Clearly, Lin Shuang was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him. There was such a reward? It was unbelievable!

“This is a treasure passed down by the previous City Lords of Juxiang City. It's indeed two dragon eggs with a thousand years of history. However, it seems that the dragon inside is already dead, so it can't hatch. You can keep it as a mascot.”

Leonard was also a little embarrassed. The dragon eggs could not even be hatched.
