Venedikt understood that he could not simply stumble upon a great treasure by luck, so that left him with only one option.
The Realm Ruler.
Yet instead of asking the Ruler directly where such a treasure could be found, Venedikt chose to gamble.
He used his last remaining wish to request the creation of a Champion's Conquest, a game with a strict two-week time limit, one that promised a reward valuable enough to satisfy even the higher echelons of the Tharokarn Clan.
It was a desperate move, but not without reason. If he had asked the Realm Ruler to reveal the location of a valuable treasure, the wish would have been granted.
However, retrieving it would likely have been nearly impossible, since such a treasure would be hidden within a death land or another equally inaccessible place.
The gamble was still dangerous, since the greater the reward, the harder the challenge would be. But even so, it would be easier than searching for an artifact buried in some abyss beyond reach.
