Chapter 1627 Crown Prince Feng Shun
The crown prince's question was something Lin Mu had already expected.
Even if it was not him, this was something that most people would have asked. After all, knowing what was basically a lost language in the Rust Sky world was not easy. And even if one meant to learn it from another world, it meant they had went there and possibly interacted with the Demonic Tribes.
On top of all that, it was not the normal demon tongue, but their Shamanic Script which not even all demons might know.
When one combined all these factors, the scope of finding a person like that fell greatly. And yet, there was Lin Mu who was right in front of him.
"I just so happened to learn it on my travels." Lin Mu said before flashing his right hand.
Feng Shun looked over at the only ring that was visible on Lin Mu's hand and narrowed his eyes. He looked for five seconds, before recognizing it.
"The Indigo World Hegemony?" Feng Shun identified it just as Lin Mu had thought.
'That should hopefully solve the issue for the most part. It fooled the Manager at the Black Candle Pavilion.' Lin Mu hoped.
"Indeed." Lin Mu nodded his head.
"I'd have never expected to meet someone from the Indigo World Hegemony in my world… though that does make sense." Feng Shun nodded. "The reach of the Indigo World Hegemony is well known." Feng Shun spoke.
"Oh? Have you met others from there too, crown prince?" Lin Mu behaved naturally as if he really belonged to it.
"Indeed. I have had the opportunity to meet a few individuals during my training at the Immortal Court." Feng Shun replied.
"Ah… then you must have met some elders or other higher members." Lin Mu nodded his head. "I'm afraid, I'm just a lowly outer member. The only little advantage I have is that I've traveled and I have a hobby of learning new things." He added.
"That is a good hobby to have. Commendable, I must say." The crown prince was surprisingly pleasant.
Lin Mu had fully expected the man to be interrogating him.
He didn't know if the crown prince was just asking with little intent, or of his fake identity of belonging to the Indigo World Hegemony had thrown the man's suspicion off successfully.
'Regardless of what it might be, I should leave soon.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
"Still, it is interesting to see someone actually knowing Shamanic Script of the Demon Tribe this well. Even I was barely able to make out a couple of sentences." Feng Shun said much to Lin Mu's surprised.
"So that's how you were going to verify if the person coming to appraise was telling the truth." Lin Mu replied.
"Precisely." Feng Shun nodded his head. "I had the opportunity to pick up a little Shamanic script during one of my assignments that just so happened to be in a formed Demonic World."
"Seems like Crown prince is well learned too." Lin Mu praised the man.
"Haha, you surely jest. My knowledge of the Shamanic Script is unmentionable in front of you." The Crown prince laughed.
Silence descended in the room for ten seconds, after which the crown prince spoke again.
"Well then, we should get to the business." The prince said while gesturing to the steward.
The steward cupped his hands in salute before leaving the hall.
"It's time for the well deserved reward." The crown prince said before taking out a trunk that was even larger than the Stele.
~THUD~
It fell to the ground on the side, surprising Lin Mu.
"This is…" Lin Mu said finding the box to be rather intriguing.
There were several preserving formations as well as sealing formations on the trunk, clearly showing that it was used for storing something valuable.
"Go on, take a look." Feng Shun gestured casually.
Lin Mu stood up and opened the latch of the box. The seal opened up automatically, allowing him to lid the led..
~CLACK~
With the lid open, Lin Mu could finally gaze at its insides.
"Tyrant Bull Marrow as stated. Fresh, and preserved in the bones. Can't get it better than this." Feng Shun spoke.
In the trunk, Lin Mu could see large bones that were nearly four meters long each. They were all fresh, as if they had been removed from a carcass just an hour ago. Just that lone showed how good the formations on the box were.
'I had expected a bottle of marrow, but this… he brought entire bones?' Lin Mu was stunned on the inside.
After all, the Bones of the Tyrant Bull were quite valuable too. If one was selling it, they would extract the marrow before doing that.
"You can keep the bones as well. Take it as a compliment for the excellent service." The crown prince added.
Lin Mu almost couldn't believe that the man was giving the bones too. Still he wasn't one to reject something that was being offered to him for free.
"I don't know what else to say but thank you." Lin Mu responded.ƒ𝔯ℯe𝘄𝐞𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵ𝘦𝒍. com
"It's all good. I wouldn't have known what to do with the bones anyway." The crown prince replied.
This made Lin Mu think of something else entirely.
"How exactly did you chance upon them though?" Lin Mu inquired.
"Well… you see me and my friends had a little competition before coming to the Rust Sky world. We had to halt at one of the more 'untamed' immortal worlds while returning from my last mission.
The Teleportation array had a cool down period of a month, so me and my friends decided to hunt the local beasts. The winner would be the one with the strongest or rarest beast." The Crown prince explained with a hint of joy.
Lin Mu could tell that the man liked to talk about his exploits.
"It was safe to say, I won. I encountered a Tyrant Bull there and hunted it down, thus obtaining this." Feng Shun said proudly.
