After hearing Bitton's words, Ange became even more certain of her guess.
"You said their god bestowed power upon every vampire, and if I'm not mistaken, it must be a kind of power of rules. Now that we've stepped into their territory, we must abide by this power of rules."
Just like playing a game, you have to agree to an agreement before you can enter the game. Although most players don't read these agreements.
The power of the rules here carries divine power; possessing divine power, she knew how terrifying this power was, something that combat strength alone could not withstand.
Therefore, even legendary combat power can be in serious trouble if it violates the rules, and there is even a possibility of being annihilated.
Even gods, if not gods of war, have an absolute advantage over ordinary people.
An Ge thought of some infinite flow novels she had read in her previous life, and in some ways, this situation was quite similar.
Bringing people into the realm and annihilating them at will—is that dark god really not an evil god?
In the eyes of the gods, these lives seem to be nothing more than ants, their playground, which makes Ange lose her affection for the gods.
Although, she may become one of them in the future.
Beaton only half understood, and after Ange explained it again, he finally understood.
"You mean, as long as we don't break the rules, they can't do anything to us? But we don't know what these rules are, what should we do?"
Just as An Ge was about to speak, she felt a burning sensation in her eyes.
Is this a warning from the Eye of Exploration? Even after so much time has passed, An Ge's understanding of the Eye of Exploration is still incomplete.
At first, the Eye of Detection was only used to see ghosts and probe people's fortunes. Later, it became a tool for treasure hunting. Now it seems that this skill of mine still has a long way to go.
With her current strength, as long as she doesn't encounter an extremely rare treasure, keeping her Eye of Exploration open for several days in a row won't have any negative effects on her body.
An Ge activated her Eye of Exploration, and the view before her immediately changed.
In her view, there were no ghosts, but several objects were emitting a red glow.
An Ge stared intently and saw a new line of text suddenly appear next to the clock bathed in red light: No outsiders may stay in guest rooms before midnight.
An Ge's eyes lit up with surprise; she could actually see the power of the rules!
This skill of mine is amazing! I've only used it for treasure hunting before, which is really a waste of its potential.
Ange quickly examined each item emitting red light and learned many rules.
For example, you can't open your eyes when you hear noises at night, you can't eat the food prepared by the vampires, and you can't speak loudly. There are more than a dozen rules and regulations just for the guest rooms.
They're determined to take their lives.
Without the Eye of Detection, An Ge would definitely break the rules, and even if her life wasn't in danger, she would still lose something.
For example, her divine power might be discovered by a hidden god, and her abilities might be taken away. Of course, these are all just her speculations.
In any case, it's best to act without violating the rules.
To Ange's relief, neither she nor Beaton were bound by the power of the rules. This meant that they didn't need to complete any tasks; as long as they didn't break the rules, they would be safe and sound.
Ange didn't know if she could make a move against Martin, but the thought of that powerful aura made her give up the idea.
I'll find another opportunity to get back at Martin. She's the kind of person who can bend and stretch, and she'll never act rashly when the conditions aren't right.
But she's not that generous; she won't easily let go of those who've already been added to her list.
Knowing that Ange could see the power of the rules, Beaton was overjoyed.
"As expected of my god, that dark god still wants to obtain my divine power, what a pipe dream! Rest assured, after we get out, I will definitely spread the word about the vampire's conspiracy."
That god of darkness must be an evil god; this is a serious matter. A race that worships an evil god will surely be despised by the entire continent.
Ange was speechless. Beaton had stopped pretending and was directly calling on the gods.
"Just call me sir. We'll talk about the rest outside. Remember what I told you carefully, and never break the rules. If you encounter anything uncertain, don't try to handle it all by yourself."
You said I'm a god, you have to believe in divine power. Even if we break the rules, I'll definitely be able to get you out of here safely.
"My lord, you are so kind." Beaton felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing Ange's words.
The way the gaze was directed at An Ge not only carried reverence for the gods but also a deep affection, giving An Ge a strange feeling of being watched by her own child.
"Well, it's almost time, you should go back now."
At Ange's repeated urging, Beaton reluctantly returned to his room.
An Ge wiped away non-existent cold sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Being gazed at with such admiration by a woman even older than herself was something even the most mentally strong woman would find hard to accept for a while.
She now finally understood why some deities would begin their sentences with "my children."
After learning the rules, An Ge relaxed completely.
The power of rules is extremely strong, but once the location of the rules is known, this place becomes extremely safe. Presumably, even that god never imagined that mortals could see the rules he set.
An Ge guessed that the Eye of Exploration's ability was inseparable from the divine power within her.
Because she was a demigod, the rules of the gods didn't hold such strong binding power over her. And it was precisely for this reason that she was certain that even if she broke the rules, her life wouldn't be in danger.
For some reason, An Ge didn't want the gods to discover the power within her.
It must be said that Martin had put a lot of thought into the guest room he prepared for her. Ange lay on the comfortable bed and drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
"Drip, drip." Suddenly, An Ge was awakened by the sound of dripping water, and she could hear breathing sounds in her ear.
In the past, she would have opened her eyes to see what was happening. Now that she knew about the power of rules, An Ge simply used the rhythmic ticking sound as hypnotic music.
As for the breath blowing into her ear, An Ge was a little uncomfortable. She remembered that the rules said she couldn't open her eyes, so An Ge closed her eyes, made a face, and then punched the direction of the breath.
A heavy thud was heard as something fell to the ground, followed by a rustling sound, and then silence.
The ghost intended to scare An Ge, but to its surprise, An Ge didn't react at all. Just as it was wondering what was going on, An Ge made a face at it, which startled it instead.
Before he could even calm himself down, he was nearly knocked out of his body by a powerful punch.
The ghost hugged its knees pitifully, whimpering, "Who's the real ghost here? It scared me to death! Oh, and it hurts so much!"
What's most infuriating is that I suffered such a huge loss, while the other party didn't violate any rules at all.
I'm so annoyed!
