Chapter 354 The Book of Law Appears
Aiwas closed his eyes and prayed to Sizhu, while calmly analyzing the situation in his mind.
...I don’t know if Si Zhu can hear Aiwass’s mumbling in this situation.
According to the words of the Punisher, it seems that the Giant Prince came to take away his "Book of Law".
Aiwass knew the name of this thing because he had consulted Madam Mina for divination. He had never mentioned the name of this thing to anyone else... The Giant Prince knew it because of the Eye Demon Lord.
He clearly remembered that the Giant Prince had a relative who had entered the book.
It was a beholder, capable of dropping tokens related to the Noble Red event line. It had once been a pet summoned by a powerful figure within the Rosicrucian Order, but its master was later easily crushed to death by the Fallen Angels—but, conversely, the fact that he could be killed by the Fallen Angels was a testament to his strength.
Because of its ability to see the future, the Eye Demon can be considered a prophet in demonic form. It also possesses special vision abilities such as clairvoyance and X-ray vision, making it a very valuable and rare demon.
After people become demons, they basically abandon their previous identities, and giants are no exception - Aiwass doesn't know what happened in between.
But if we combine the words of the Punishment Demon, take what it said as the truth, and reverse the process from the current result... it should have found its relatives, persuaded its brother to betray his then teacher Jacob, and found a new teacher for him... that is, the current master of the Eye Demon.
——So this is how the noble red was originally born.
However, Aiwass still didn't know what qualifications this piece of equipment he had found through divination had to be so worthy of being snatched away by a fifth-level wizard from afar...
Madam Mina was only at the fourth level, and the most she could divine was purple—meaning she couldn't divine the location of equipment above dark purple. Aiwass was looking for "equipment," so it was unlikely to be a secret book.
The gold ones are sacred gear. These aren't typically obtained from monsters or card draws, but rather from the final stages of long storylines. They're incredibly long and grueling. But at least Aiwass remembers them pretty clearly... After all, he initially followed the videos, then learned how to run them for his friends, and now he's become quite proficient.
Of course, in terms of practicality, gold equipment may not be as useful as purple equipment.
Because Holy Equipment emphasizes functionality... or rather, it's usually the core of a build. It has little interaction with other gold equipment. Purple Equipment, on the other hand, has much more freedom in its attributes.
——Could it be that the equipment that Mina divined is the exclusive weapon of the Curse Mage?
This is possible. After all, Jacob is a spellcaster, so it's normal that the things he left behind are related to spellcasters...
But now the Giant Prince is being hunted by the Great Guardian, but he has sent one of his most important subordinates to look for equipment - could it be that he thinks the power of the "Book of Law" can allow him to solve this crisis immediately?
This actually made Aiwas excited.
It's like drawing a card, not knowing its strength or how to use it, but getting silenced in the group chat when it pops up. So, it's probably pretty strong.
After finishing his prayer, Aiwass extinguished the lit candle and put it back into his bag.
"Since you want it so much, I must get it."
Even if it means having to confront the great wizard head-on, it is definitely worth it.
Aiwass made up his mind.
And the other side.
The situation was slightly different from what Aiwass had imagined.
The giant prince Wolfram was seen being bound by blue and white light bands with black runes written on them, and was locked tightly in the magic circle.
He stood naked atop a deep blue magic circle, while more than ten magic circles of varying sizes hovered in all directions. Some connected to the bands of light, others swirled and emitted a strange, ominous black light. The largest, a white magic circle, was behind the giant—a magnificent spear of golden light shot out from it, piercing through the giant's back.
Both of his hands were unable to move, and a black "X" appeared in the air above his mouth. Black runes were written on both sides of the X, extending to his earlobes and neck.
Now, Wolfram seemed to have been struck by the aura of death—his entire body had become noticeably withered. His once robust frame, that of a fourth-level warrior, now seemed to have collapsed, his skin becoming loose and sagging. Furthermore, his blood vessels had turned purple-black, forming a terrifying tree-like pattern. His eye sockets had also turned a pure purple-black, and his cheeks were deeply sunken.
It's like becoming an old man.
However, not only did he not show any pain, but he was extremely energetic.
Because not far from him, or even only a dozen meters away, was the original swamp.
But now the swamp has dried up. After the twilight force that solidified everything dissipated, a purple glow emanated from the bottom.
——That is the color that represents the path of transcendence!
The Book of Law! It must be it!
Wolfram cried in his heart.
There is no doubt that this is the Book of Law that the Eye Demon had told him about!
"The book will appear in mid-December, near Bagpipe Town in Shepherd's Bay County, a 'place closest to death'" - isn't that here!
It is indeed the place closest to death... This swamp is filled with the power of the Dusk Path. Now that the seal has been released for some reason, the deathly aura that is emitted in one breath is enough to prove the meaning of this sentence.
The Eye Demon also said that the book contained "secret knowledge about the Celestial Gods and the Pillar Gods, and contained the great power to change the world and influence the future"... and now it was sealed by Amber himself, tightly wrapped in this deathly aura. Doesn't this prove that this statement is true?
——But the problem is that the book is right in front of him, but he can't move at all.
He couldn't move, couldn't cast spells, couldn't speak.
Because the person standing opposite him was Merlin.
Merlin was clearly unaffected by the deathly aura. He seemed to be waiting for someone, and therefore didn't kill Wolfram outright.
But that was all—he didn't even look at Wolfram, but simply looked down at the bottom of the swamp, which was emitting a strong glow of the transcendent path, and seemed to be lost in thought.
"...Strange, I clearly checked here. There was indeed nothing here just now..."
He muttered.
What exactly is a "variable"?
At this moment, Merlin suddenly frowned and sighed: "Why are you here again..."
"Yes. Long time no see, Mr. Merlin."
A low, hoarse and mellow voice sounded, like the voice of a person who had smoked for twenty years.
It was a huge gray wolf, nearly as tall as a human.
It slowly emerged from the amber village, its pupils crimson, its grey fur untainted by the amber shell solidified by the power of dusk.
"Let me tell you again, that woman and I have broken up a long time ago."
Merlin said wearily, "Vivian letting you go has nothing to do with me."
"I know, Mr. Merlin. I have something important to tell you."
Yeats bowed slightly and said calmly, "I am here on the orders of my master to stop the giants from approaching the swamp. If possible, she also asked me to stop everyone else from approaching the swamp."
"……oh?"
Seeing Yeats's ridiculous answer, Merlin suddenly became interested: "I've already tied him up, isn't that enough to stop him? And you can't stop me either.
"It seems this is indeed her and Jacob's laboratory... But you told me this just like that, aren't you afraid that I'll cause trouble for her? I think she must have specifically told you not to cause her any trouble. She disappeared from the Shadow Realm for so long, she must have been reincarnated."
Merlin finished speaking, and Ye Zhi was suddenly completely bound by those light bands. Especially its long wolf kiss, which was bound by a single light band, and even tied with a bow.
"--Or, you, an abandoned stray dog, now have some ideas of your own?"
Merlin pushed up his monocle and asked with a smile.
But there was no smile on His face, instead He looked as majestic as a god.
Merlin tightened his grip on the staff in his hand and said calmly, "I don't think the 'important thing' you want to talk about is this."
After a period of silence, the werewolf spoke without saying a word: "Jacob is my friend. Long ago, Jacob led me to join a mysterious society... called the Golden Dawn. As a discriminated wild elf, it was there that I came into contact with the inheritance of extraordinary knowledge. Through the secret book provided by Mathers, I became a fraudster on the path of love.
"In return, I brought Jacob to a hidden village known only to the locals. I've long been aware of the horrors of this village, yet everyone seems to have treated them as if they were normal."
Yeats didn't resist at all and answered directly: "I am from Bagpipe Town. And the place I brought him to...
"...It's called Eagle Point Village."
