Chapter 70 An Unexpected Gain
When we reached the museum, there was hardly any crowd, I guess after all, few people are interested in such places when they can travel and adventure in wild forests and mountains instead.
There were only two guards at the main gate who were sleeping on the chair, after giving us a slight glance they once again closed their eyes.
"The security here is quite lax", muttered Aushima.
"Yeah, it seems even the guards don't think there is anything worthy here for the robbers to steal", spoke Jasmine.
'It seems nobody cares about this place since that sword had been lying in the ground for so many years people think no one can take it out so all the enthusiasm about it eventually died down. The only thing that can catch your attention here is those old kings and queens statues and paintings but I don't think people would be interested to watch them so hardly we can see anyone here", I replied to both the girls.
"It's sad, the sword that was once famous for slaying the dragon who wreaked havoc across the continent is just lying here in dust unattended", Aushima gave a deep sigh.
"Actually it's pretty common, when countless years pass, the legend becomes stories then becomes short tales that are told to kids at bedtime then becomes just historical records finally turning into myths which no one believes in. Nothing can stand the passage of time, that's the hard reality", I also gave a deep sigh.
Without wasting much time Jasmine brought us to the inner room where the sword was kept.
The room was empty.
"Why is the room empty?" -Aushima asked in confusion.
"Hehe" -Jasmine chuckled and slowly went towards a painting that was hanging on the wall.
She quickly removed the painting and what surprised us was there was a handle that can be pulled down behind it.
She lowered the handle and suddenly the wall that was in front of us separated in between and a secret room came into our vision.
We followed Jasmine and entered the room.
"Here is the sword", Jasmine pointed her finger at a corner.
The sword was half-buried in the ground and its handle was quite rusty. Looking at it gave the impression that it was nothing more than a piece of junk.
"I don't think this thing can be of any use to us, we came here and wasted all our time just for this?" -Aushima spoke dejectedly.
"Oh don't judge the book by its cover." š¶š§š§šæššš±.š°š¼š¦
'I knew it...isn't this the usual routine? The protagonist somehow enters this room by chance because of Jasmine and under the eyes of all turns the waste-looking sword into a treasure. I am sorry dear David, Jasmine is now mine, so this sword also now belongs to me!'
I slowly held the hilt of the sword and tried to take it out.
But the sword refused to bulge even a little.
'Wait if this thing is kept here for the protagonist, then how can he take it out?'
'Isn't the only thing a protagonist has an advantage of is his high luck and favour of the world's will?'
'I now understand why nobody was able to take it out all these years, this is definitely a top treasure.'
I took a deep breath and slowly concentrated on my consciousness.
'We also have a cheat.'
The luck-devouring lotus started spinning rapidly and a pure strand of luck passed from it to my hand towards the sword I was holding.
Suddenly the sword which was dormant for so long trembled.
Taking advantage of the situation, I used all my strength to pull it out in one go.
There was a loud-roar in the room, like a dragon which had been forcefully awakened from its sleep.
The rust and dust on it automatically fell and I could feel the sword in my hands was not simple.
It glowed for a while but soon dimmed down. I carefully observed it and compared it with my inherited information from the Void Emperor's inheritance.
After a few minutes, I took a deep breath.
"Girls, we got ourselves a top-notch treasure."
'It is a holy level magic weapon, such weapons can only be found in the immortal world.'
'The only sad part is the artifact spirit of the sword had already died and its strength had decreased a lot. Nevertheless, it's a good baby!'
"Wow this sword looks so awesome after you pulled it out, it completely transformed into something else."
"Congratulations husband"
"Congratulations dear!"
Both the girls jumped upon me and each gave a kiss on one cheek.
"This is really addicting, the more you indulge in it the harder it is to restrain yourself." -I gave them a meaningful smile after hugging each of them with one arm.
"Naah, it's still daytime to do those lewd things."
"Yeah, we still need to visit Rose and Parul."
-Both of them spoke one after another with their dodging eyes and broke free from the embrace.
They could feel the heat emitting from our bodies getting intense and if they not separated, they knew a lot of things may happen in this small room.
"Okay, let's not waste time"
"Since our business here is done, let's leave."
-With each of my hands, I patted their buttocks simultaneously as we separated.
As we were about to exit, one of the guards looked at us mockingly.
I had long kept the sword in my storage ring.
"So you fools, you liked the time you spent inside."
"Yeah, we found a treasure thanks for keeping guard here so no thief can steal it before us, else our trip here would be wasted", I replied back jokingly.
Without paying much attention to his insults we left the museum.
'One important thing I noticed was that both Aushima and Jasmine were quiet and didn't argue back with that guard once I spoke. I guess this is the respect the head of the family should have, once he speaks, there is no point for others to say anything, if it was in the past both of them would have argued back with their grumpy personalities. But now they are my well tamed and cute-little wives.'
