Upon hearing the second point, Yang Yu instantly perked up and asked:
"You're clearly telling me, hoping to use my strength to find something that might have been copied by someone, right?"
Hei Luo stepped forward and walked out of the Cold Ice Palace, answering as he walked, "That was hundreds of years ago.
We don't know if the copied item still exists, but if you can find it, you have skills.
Read it, and remember to burn it afterward."
With his team following closely, Yang Yu pursued, "Aren't you afraid I'll spread the content to others?"
Hei Luo looked indifferent and replied, "If you can finish reading it, you wouldn't spread the content. Now, let's move to the last question."
Watching Hei Luo's back, Yang Yu couldn't help but click his tongue.
He had many, many things he wanted to ask.
Such as where the Nine-Life Cat Demon exactly was, whether the dragons could interpret the text on that page, what kind of existence magic truly was in this world, what was really up with the Luo Ze Empire's underground relics, the true stronghold of the Curse Sect, and so on.
Hei Luo had just mentioned that if you pass the dragons' test, you could borrow their wisdom.
At that time, these questions might find answers, and the last question should be used critically.
But what counts as the most critical?
After thinking for some time, Yang Yu didn't reach a conclusion, so he said, "I haven't thought of the last question yet. I'll ask you after I'm ready."
Hei Luo shook his head, "Too many things you want to ask, you end up not knowing what to ask. You can use Legendary Equipment to trade for a few questions."
"Don't tempt me into 'consuming.' You just said Legendary Equipment is hard to come by. From here, I don't know what adventures await. Every extra piece is an extra hope for survival."
"No choice, if that's your decision, I choose to respect it."
With Yang Yu and his team out of the Cold Ice Palace, Hei Luo extended his hand toward the cracks in the sky, a Teleportation Array opened on the blank snowy ground in front of Hei Luo, and shortly after, three Treasure Boxes of varying sizes appeared.
Inside were the Legendary Equipment Yang Yu had chosen.
Watching Yang Yu carefully put away the boxes, Hei Luo transformed back into a giant dragon, flew into the crack in the sky, and disappeared into the Bitter Cold Land.
Thus, the affairs within the Cold Ice Palace were temporarily concluded.
He Meng reverted to human form, while Lotcar transformed into a giant Silver Wolf, and Yang Yu's group set out back to the Ceroc Adventurer Guild.
On the way, Yang Yu repeatedly reminded Bin Luo not to talk about certain things, especially not mention that strange creature was defeated by Yang Yu alone.
As for the Forget Sorrow Stone, Yang Yu didn't care about it, Yang Yu didn't want to attract attention.
If they had to talk, they could only say that strange creature was jointly defeated by them.
If circumstances allowed, they would also say they rescued some people trapped in the Cold Ice Palace, but those people, to avenge their companions, charged forward despite that strange creature's attacks, and ultimately all sacrificed.
In short, it definitely wasn't his solo accomplishment.
Bin Luo nodded in agreement, though Bin Luo hadn't yet felt he had avenged the great grudge, he was still heartfelt grateful to Yang Yu, naturally wanting to keep this little matter strictly confidential.
Choosing a quiet time, Yang Yu and his team returned to the Ceroc Adventurer Guild to submit their task.
Glarona kept a smiling gaze fixed on Yang Yu, warmly welcoming him to come again next time.
Having submitted the task, without lingering, Yang Yu immediately led his companions to collect the remaining herbs, ready to make Potions.

Lux calendar year 416, March 5.
In the Luo Ze Empire, at General Walshi's residence.
A slightly naive young girl gazed through the thin window at the gradually reviving spring scenery in the garden.
In the same room, another girl who looked quite like her carefully savored her tea.
"Today, over there, is everything going smoothly?" the tea-drinking girl asked the girl by the window.
Hearing the tea-drinking girl ask, the girl by the window slowly turned her head, her focus shifted from the spring scenery, simply complaining:
"Rosalind sister, it's absolutely dreadful.
The Second Prince has completely lost interest in me. I can't even find a chance to be alone with him.
This task is way too challenging for me.
The Second Prince is so popular among women, he must have seen countless people.
That's why he looks down on an ordinary girl like me.
If it's not that, he surely likes men. I've also received some intel about him liking men.
A shy girl doesn't fit my personality at all.
Or... find an opportunity to directly pull him down.
If he feels desire for me, I'll seize the moment.
If he doesn't feel any desire, it proves he really likes men."
Listening to her sister's complaints, Rosalind slowly put down her teacup, "That's no good. That way, the persona you've established would Collapse.
It's precisely because of your innocent appearance that our plan hasn't had many hiccups so far.
Exposing your true nature too early will alert others.
We must proceed with caution; there are still quite a few clear-headed people in this country.
Our Charming Magic cannot precisely control everyone in this country.
Luckily, even though there was a slight mishap, this war continues as planned.
Our master seems quite pleased."
Jin sat beside Rosalind and said, "That's good. If it's for our master, I'll endure forever. Must strive harder."
"Write a love letter next time; I'll help convey your feelings.
Make sure the Second Prince falls for you willingly. Only then can we completely control this country from the roots.
Make them a crucial piece in the next war."
"Speaking of which, Rosalind sister, regarding that Colorful-haired Masked Man, won't he come back to cause trouble this time?
If following our master's wishes, we also want to turn him into an important piece.
His priority even far exceeds that of the Second Prince.
To prevent the bats from being discovered, no black bats were deployed surrounding the city that day, and he escaped, losing his trace.
It's become quite a troublesome issue.
Now, not to mention control, we can't even trace his shadow."
"The opportunity to control him is rare and precious. Our master surely sensed something from him, which is why he chose him.
'If we can find him, we must use the strongest Charming Magic to control him.'
That's a direct quote from our master."
Just as Rosalind finished speaking, a small cat-shaped button on the table flashed brightly.
Rosalind said to Jin, "The master has a new task again.
This time, it seems the master has taken an interest in a woman with our Enchanting Demon's bloodline and wants to help her achieve a greater awakening.
We need to lend a helping hand."
