Lord of the Oasis

The wine pot was simple and unadorned. It had a big belly and a small opening. It was a classic Western style.

The black fog in the large cave had already been absorbed by Bunduk, However, around the wine pot on the obsidian table, there was still a faint black fog swirling.

This wine pot attracted everyone’s attention, including Kant’s.

He walked forward.

At the end of this huge cave, the altar made of stone and the obsidian table on it were both looked demonic. The wine pot also made Kant feel a sense of greed.

The Lion Knights beside him also moved and followed.

They raised the kite-shaped shield in their left hand and held the Knight sword tightly in their right hand, they looked like a guard. However, through the gaps in the visor, their eyes revealed greed that seemed to have been attracted to something. They moved their feet and subconsciously swallowed their saliva. If it were not for their loyalty to Kant, they would have rushed up and taken that demonic wine pot, held it tightly in arms, longing to occupy it alone!

Their thoughts began to become slow and blur. As Kant approached the wine pot with the Lion Knights, the divine domain around him, which was still eye-catching, had faded a little.

Kant had let down his guard.

But in an instant.

A dialog box popped up on his retina, waking Kant up.

[ Ding… Special Quest issued ]

[ Special quest: The pot of greed ]

[ Reward: 10 honor, 1,000 reputation, 10,000 denars ]

[ Introduction: When you came to this sealed cave, you realized that things were not that simple, especially the wine pot that seemed to be able to arouse your desire. It even carried a mysterious power. When you regained your consciousness and were upset over your loss of self-control just now, you also planned to take a good look at what that wine flask was. ]

A notification from the system.

Kant frowned slightly. Having regained his consciousness, he looked towards the altar in front of him. The wine pot on the obsidian table, he could not help but snort coldly, and the divine domain around his body became even denser.

The golden light of the King’s divine might was mixed with the holy white light, and the divine domain enveloped the surroundings.

The Lion Knights were also startled awake.

Thinking of the greed and desire in their hearts just now, they gritted their teeth and felt even more ashamed.

As the mainstay of the Kingdom of Sarleon, the strongest national knights on the Pendor continent, they should have their own pride and honor, including restraint and strict control of their desires.

However, they definitely lost their composure just now.

No, not just now, but they had done the same thing before.

Their continuous mistakes made them feel incompetent and ashamed.

Kant, on the other hand, looked very indifferent. “It’s not because of you.” He looked at the wine pot in front of him and could not help but take a deep breath. “Even I could not resist the attraction of that strange wine pot!”

“That should be a sacred artifact of the demons.” Bunduk walked over from behind.

The black fog and demonic phantoms all over his body had already disappeared. Other than his slightly reddened eyes, his entire person looked no different from before. Even after entering the divine domain, he was able to calmly wait.

“A sacred artifact of the demons?” Kant frowned and exclaimed.

“Yes.” Bunduk nodded. After absorbing the demonic energy from the black fog, his power had skyrocketed, and his ability to sense things had nearly doubled. “A sacred artifact of the demons can stir up emotions of greed.”

“Heh.” Kant chuckled, the corners of his mouth curling up. “Emotions.”

“That’s right, emotions.”

Bunduk answered affirmatively, “We need to be careful.”

The abilities of the demon race were not completely brutal and crazy.

They, who came from the Abyss and Hell, were also masters of controlling emotions.

For example, greed, irascibility, excitement, lust, and so on. These were all the specialties of the demons. If they stimulated their emotions to the extreme, that would be madness, and that was also the reason why creatures who had come into contact with the demons for a long time would eventually go mad.

If they could not even control their emotions freely, wouldn’t that be madness?

Kant was solemn.

The divine domain around him became even denser.

He took a step forward and walked up to the altar. Around him were the six dim sun discs.

On the floor paved with stone slabs, there were countless sacred sun pattern carvings within, but most of them were broken. Occasionally, gold could be seen pouring into it, but it could not take form because it was broken.

Back then, the Sun God Sect’s seal on the abyssal demon was indeed very strong.

But when Kant walked up to the altar, the sacred sun pattern did not move at all.

Even the Lion Knights and Bunduk who were behind him walked up, but there was still nothing abnormal.

Obviously, the sacred sun pattern here had completely lost its effect, and the seal in the cave had been broken and was about to fade away. Only the sacred sun pattern at the temple of the Sun and the underground city wall was still barely keeping the seal in effect.

Just by looking at the six dim sun discs, one could tell that the river of time had long exhausted the divine power in it.

But that was not the main point.

Kant walked step by step to the top of the altar.

He was getting closer and closer to the obsidian table, and there was also that black wine pot. It carried a strange aura. As the black fog spread, it was trying to control the emotions of Kant and the others but it was blocked out by the dense divine domain.

However, even with the divine domain, Kant could still feel his emotions being stimulated.

Fortunately, he was prepared this time.

His left hand held the hilt of the Sword of King by his waist. As the King’s Power of this divine artifact poured into his body, Kant took a deep breath and placed his right hand on the strange wine pot.

“Jeeeen –” A ringing sound rang in his ears.

Kant’s thoughts instantly appeared as his hand touched the wine flask, and he couldn’t control his thoughts at all.

All kinds of thoughts appeared in his mind, most of them were memories he had encountered in the past, but those thoughts controlled his emotions. In his heart, all the people and things that he had encountered all triggered his negative emotions.

This included dissatisfaction, hatred, jealousy, slander, suspicion, and so on!

But most of all, it was greed for everything!

Kant wanted to take everything, to have everything, even if he had to be smashed into pieces and never be able to recover!

“Hum –”

But immediately after, the Sword of King in his left hand trembled slightly.

A magnificent and majestic might of King instantly appeared in his body, washing away all kinds of negative emotions in his mind. Finally, Kant woke up in an instant and regained his consciousness.

The system also added some help at this time.

[ Ding… system prompt ]

[ Unknown strange object found. It can be absorbed by the system to fill in the rules of this world. ]

[ Choose to let the system absorb? Yes/No ]

Kant naturally did not hesitate.

Looking at the strange wine flask in his right hand, he said with certainty, “Absorb!”

Data flow instantly appeared in his palm and directly wrapped around the wine pot, as if it caused some sort of struggle. Wisps of thin but abnormally pure black fog attempted to escape from the mouth of the pot but were pulled back by the data chain.

[ Ding… After your tireless efforts, mission completed. ]

[ Special quest: “Pot of greed” completed. ]

[ Reward: 10 honor, 1,000 reputation, 10,000 denars. ]

[ Introduction: you have obtained this mysterious wine pot that can control emotions. Just as its code name, pot of greed, who come into contact with this wine pot will cause endless negative emotions in the heart, as well as a feeling of greed towards all living things. Fortunately, you have resisted the erosion of this emotion, and are still in good condition and rational. ]

The system showed a dialog box.

Kant’s hand was empty, but the small wine pot had already been absorbed by the system.

And when the wine pot disappeared, the gloomy and dark appearance in the cave instantly disappeared. Even in the surrounding six sun discs, there were faint flowing lights in the golden patterns.

It was obvious that the wine pot, which contained endless dark power, was actually suppressing the six sun discs.

“Put them all away,” Kant turned his head and ordered.

He waved his hand to the Lion Knights behind him and said, “We’ve wasted enough time. Let’s put away these sun discs. After we finish the old man in the temple, we should go back and finish off the undead a Nahrin Desert.”

“Understood!” the Lion Knights nodded. They walked down the altar and carefully unloaded all the sun disks.

The danger in the cave had been eliminated.

Kant also put away the divine domain.

However, Bunduk was still a guard at the side. He carefully looked at the surrounding rock walls. There used to be murals on them, but most of them had been peeled off over the long period of time.

From a distance, he could vaguely see that it was the battle between the Sun God Sect and the abyssal demons.

It was so tragic that the sky turned dark.

Countless members had died on both sides.

There were even powerful divine sons and demon lords who had fallen.

But in the end, the Sun God Sect still won. But even if they won, they did not kill these demon lords who had deep connections with the Abyss. They could only seal these demons and use up their final strength. Similarly, they chose to seal themselves.

The specific details could not be seen completely because of the peeling of the mural.

There was also no information about humans and other races.

In short, the mural in the stone wall was to praise the greatness of the Sun God Sect, the sacrifice of the Sun God Sect, and the infinite worship to the Sun God. Just look at the high and mighty sun, one would know that during the era of the gods, the might of the Sun God covered the world, it was not something that an ordinary god could compare with.

Kant did not say much about this. Any brilliant religious civilization would exaggerate their god to an unimaginable extent. In fact, it was a matter of opinion.

At least Kant did not meet the so-called god.

And he had killed more than one of those god descendants.

At least in the temple, the old man with evil intentions was about to become a ghost under his sword, the kind that would never be reincarnated!

After wrapping the sun discs, Kant led the team out of the cave.

He walked along the road towards the temple again but stopped when he reached the temple.

At the top of the temple.

The old pope of the Sun God Sect was emitting a sparkling white light, holding a scepter and standing in front of the stone door.

It seemed that he was welcoming Kant’s arrival.

However, Kant did not hold back at all. He stood at the bottom of the temple and held the hilt of his sword with his right hand. He said slowly, “Old man, give me an explanation. If you don’t satisfy me this time, I think you will be completely destroyed.”
