Jay stared at the man's greedy eyes and said faintly, "Even if you get the treasure, can a cripple like you take it away?"
The man looked at Jay, his deep pupils filled with ridicule. He said sinisterly, "Sir Ares, you must not know what the treasure is."
Jay's eyes darkened slightly, and only at this moment did he become somewhat interested in the treasure inside the tomb. “ And you do?"
"Have you ever heard of this legend..."
"A legend?"
"A legend from the ancient times." When the man mentioned the ancient times, a look of monstrous hatred shot out of his
eyes.
"Let's hear it." Jay was getting interested.
"Legends say that back in the ancient Summer Dynasty, there was an outstanding prince. His Royal Highness was not only devastatingly beautiful but also possessed extraordinary wisdom and a kind heart. He truly cared about his country and his people. However, on his wedding night, he was betrayed by his fiancee when she poisoned his beverage. H e died at the hands of his lover.
"Because his people loved him, they were reluctant to let his soul pass peacefully. They got 49 priests to summon his spirit back, then put his body in a coffin and sealed it under the ice mountain.
"As for his patron saint, it's a giant python that's coiled on the ice coffin. It guards his tomb."
When the man reached this point, he smiled wisely.
"Whoever finds His Royal Highness who's inside the ice coffin will be able to get the Soul Orb and revive the person they want most."
Jay frowned. For such an admirable prince, he should not be placed under such circumstances for thousands of years after his death.
