Chapter 297 Cassiem is excited
The giant Cassiem was extremely excited.
——The aimless search that had given him such a headache was finally coming to an end.
The prince gave him a clue as to the "place closest to death" and asked him to find something he had never seen before. He really didn't know where to start.
Where is the closest place to death?
What exactly is this "Book of the Law"? Is it a book, or something else entirely? What does it look like? Where might it be stored now?
The answer is "I don't know, but you find it for me anyway."
...What can he do then?
Even so, we were ordered to find it. If we can't find it, we don't have to go back—No, then could you give us some more information?
But I can’t give it to you.
Because His Royal Highness the Prince also knew nothing, his only clue came from the Eye Demon.
The Eye Demon is a demon with the power to adapt to the Tao. It has the ability to manipulate intelligence, such as clairvoyance, X-ray vision, detect invisibility, and predict the future.
However, Prince Wolfram was not a demonologist, but a great wizard. His beholder had not signed a contract with him, but was merely his companion - because the beholder had once been his brother.
In the era when the Supreme Heaven still existed, he had already become a demon, feared and hated by his own kind. But now that the giants are almost exterminated, the beholder has become a lucky one.
But in fact, in Cassiem's opinion, the beholder may not be reliable.
Although demons also possess some memories of their previous lives... however, when they transform into Taoist beings, they are no longer their former selves.
Cassiem's knowledge as a demonologist told him that in the past, many people were killed because they believed that their relatives and friends had fallen into the devil, and even their souls became food for the devil.
However, in Prince Wolfram's opinion, it might be Cassiem who is unreliable.
Cassiem wasn't a member of the Titan royal family, nor was he a royal guard serving the royal family. Those Titans had long been killed... Although Cassiem was also a pure-blooded Titan, he had once been just a commoner.
He was able to escape strangulation only because he was lucky; and he did not go to the Eternal Frost Empire in the north because he still could not control his anger and was therefore not recognized by his former compatriots who turned to the path of wisdom.
In other words, he is a homeless outcast.
Not only the people of Avalon, but also the Star Antimony and Iris people hate giants. If he wants to escape, he can only flee south, cross the sea, and watch trolls and chimpanzees fight. He might even be kidnapped and sold by goblins.
It was because there was no place for him that Cassiem had no choice but to follow Prince Wolfram - so he was not a human, but a dog.
If the giant fails to restore his kingdom, he will be a homeless stray dog. If he is seen walking on the street, he will be beaten to death.
But if the giant could restore his kingdom, even if it was just a small piece of land... then he would not only have a home to return to, but also be rich and prosperous. He might even be able to eat people openly.
He had no choice. So with this in mind, he followed Prince Wolfram and joined the newly established Noble Red Society.
It was precisely because of this extreme thought, "I have no way out," that he was able to reach the fifth energy level as a commoner. Now, he has become a true incarnation of the devil, ready to abandon his body and transform into a devil at any time.
In other words, the old him had long been dead, and the newly born demon was still operating in the still-uncorrupted shell of his old self.
——So Prince Wolfram's caution was not without reason. Because if necessary, he could betray Prince Wolfram at any time.
Demons do not have the conscience of humans.
But on the other hand, precisely because of this... Cassiem didn't trust his own kind. This kindred spirit wasn't referring to Prince Wolfram, but to his brother, the Eye Demon.
Cassiem was very suspicious that the so-called "prophecy" it made was a complete lie, and its purpose was to drive him away.
Because more than ten years ago, it had repeatedly told Prince Wolfram about the "Book of Law".
The eye demon believed that the "Book of Law" contained secret knowledge about the Celestial Gods and the Pillar Gods, and involved the great power to change the world and influence the future.
If the right person gets it, there is hope that the giant bear can return to the position of the Nine Pillar Gods... If the sacred entity can be obtained again at the same time, there is even hope that a mortal can ascend to the position of Heavenly Official or even Pillar God.
...No, brother. Do you really believe this?
Cassiem felt that this was outrageous. With his normal intelligence, he couldn't understand it at all.
The Book of the Law is, at best, nothing more than a book written by Jacob, the former leader. He is at most at the fifth level, not even the sixth. And this book is not even a tantra.
A book written by a mortal, containing the knowledge that allows mortals to become Pillar Gods—if this is true, then why doesn't he become a Pillar God himself? Or if even a third of this is true, then it's okay for you to become an apostle yourself, right?
But Jacob was not even an apostle; he died completely.
At that time, the Eye Demon asked Prince Wolfram to find the Book of Law. However, they searched for it but couldn't find it. So, after repeated persuasion from Cassiem, Prince Wolfram finally gave up.
Some time ago, the Eye Demon came again - it claimed that the reason it didn't find the Book of Law at that time was because the Book of Law had not yet been published. But now that the Book of Law has been published, it can go looking for it again.
So Prince Wolfram sent Cassiem out again and asked him to find the Book of Law.
Cassiem now strongly suspected that this was a conspiracy orchestrated by the Eye Demon. His goal was to drive him out, and Prince Wolfram must have seen through it. He intended to use this opportunity to eliminate or suppress his faction.
After all, Cassiem is more or less a Transcendent.
There is no completely loyal transcendent in this world - he does have his own power.
According to the tacit understanding between the transcendents, the moment Prince Wolfram began to turn back and clean up his own forces, it meant that he no longer had the heart to transcend!
Although Qasim maintained an outward appearance of respect and loyalty, he was actually quite delighted by this.
The prince has begun to weaken, so...
Do I have the chance to replace him and become "Prince Wolfram"?
Anyway, from the perspective of humans, giants all look similar...
Anyway, Cassiem had done what he needed to do. He had checked all the surrounding graves and hospitals, and then they wandered around the forest, trying to look busy...
But at this moment, they suddenly found a way.
He swore that this road had never existed before. But from a certain moment on, a road suddenly appeared.
In other words, they accidentally found a puzzle lock.
Then Cassiem's heart suddenly moved.
Because he felt a very strong breath of dusk...
Could this be the "place closest to death" where the "Book of Law" is located?
Or rather...
Does the "Book of Law" really exist?
Another idea suddenly occurred to Cassiem.
If the Book of Law was indeed here, and if it possessed at least one-third of the power touted by the Eye Demon… then there seemed no need for him to hand it over to the prince.
Thinking this, he walked through the dark forest.
After admiring the quiet village at dusk for a while and feeling the power of death in the air, Cassiem took a deep breath.
——My life is about to change!
There must be something special about the village hidden in the maze.
In that case...
Cassiem sneered.
"Search carefully, brothers and sisters."
With a strong murderous intent, he slowly ordered: "Search every house carefully.
"Remember to keep all the elderly and scholars and gather them in the middle of the village square."
I was even more tired after finishing the three chapters yesterday. I got up late today so I’m a little late.
There will be a second update around 2 o'clock!
