Chapter 98 Transaction (Part 3)
Chapter 98
The maze-like library was silent except for the slight rustling sound of Lynn flipping through books and the faint noise of the approaching darkness behind him, as if urging him to keep moving forward.
The difficulty of deciphering a supernatural language from scratch was far beyond Lynn's expectations.
His progress in learning the language was extremely slow, but of course with the help of his talent, even if the progress was slow, the accumulation process finally began.
From one word to two words, and then to three words, Lin En gradually mastered some of the most basic and common meanings of characters.
These frequently appearing common characters finally enabled him to initially identify the categories of books.
"***'s cooking characteristics..."
"On the Nature of Extraordinary Creatures..."
"A question about whether the Tuntun monster can be used as a staple food..."
After flipping through a series of books, Lynn soon realized that she was in an area dedicated to recording recipes.
Although these books are written in extraordinary characters and obviously involve some kind of mysterious power, their contents are obviously far from what Lynn needs.
“These are not what I want…”
Lynn decisively closed the book in his hand and strode towards the other bookcases.
Without Xiaolu's help, he might have needed to spend a lot of time observing the subtle differences between bookcases in order to find the right path.
But with Xiaolu's help, he didn't have to worry at all. Even if he reached a dead end, he could rely on Xiaolu to open up a new path.
After some searching, Lynn finally found a book that seemed to better suit his needs.
The title of the book could not be fully deciphered due to the complexity of the extraordinary text, but through gradual deliberation of the content, he began to have some vague understanding.
"When the eyes of the gods fall, everything will be baptized again, the heavens, the earth, the people, you, me, him..."
At first, Lynn thought it was just a hymn of worship to God by some devout believer.
But as he read deeper, his expression suddenly changed and alarm bells began to ring in his heart.
"After the one hundred thousandth war, the divine domain of the God of Blood was torn apart, and bright blood rained down. It turns out that gods can also bleed..."
"However, the death of a god is not the end, but the beginning of a nightmare..."
"The Pantheon has arrived! It is more terrifying than we can imagine!"
"***..."
"**** fell in front of the Pantheon. Perhaps this is the end of everything... We have stepped out of the world that limits us, but what we are greeted with is not a bright future..."
The further he read, the more profound and complex the content of the book became, filled with advanced words and obscure expressions that Lynn had never seen before.
He could only vaguely guess that the author of this book seemed to be someone who had challenged the gods but was defeated - a loser.
Lin En stroked the pages of the book, his brows furrowed, unable to hide the heaviness in his heart.
Although the content in front of him provided some clues, it was still not enough to reveal his true situation.
At this moment, the darkness chasing him was like a maggot on his tarsal bone, closing in step by step, leaving him no time to calm down and think.
"Little Green, clear the way!"
In desperation, Lynn gave the order.
Immediately, Xiaolu's two-meter-tall figure suddenly rushed out and crashed straight into the bookshelf.
Rows of bookcases collapsed, books fell everywhere, and the scene was in a mess.
Although Lin En was extremely curious about this unknown civilization, he knew that he could not take anything away from the maze, and there were dangers everywhere, so he had no time to read carefully.
He could only follow the path opened by Xiaolu, quickly scanning the text on the spines of the books, trying to discern more valuable information from them.
Boom! As Xiaolu charged forward, bookcases were pushed open one after another, and the road ahead continued to extend.
Lynn followed closely behind, at a rapid pace.
Just as he passed a collapsed bookcase, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of an unusually spacious space on the right.
He paused slightly and turned to look.
It was a lecture hall-like space with a large table in the center and neatly arranged chairs around it.
Apparently this had been some kind of teaching place, and the table in the center was where the lecturer sat.
What was even more eye-catching was that there was an open notebook on the table with a pen next to it, as if it had just been used.
"That is..."
Lin En's eyes lit up, and he rushed towards the notebook with Xiaolu.
He quickly opened his notebook and looked down.
The handwriting on the notes was messy, especially the last few lines, which were so sloppy that they were almost illegible, as if the writer had left them in a hurry but left without finishing them.
Compared with the hardcover book, the content of the notes is more colloquial and obviously much easier to read.
Lynn flipped through the pages intently, his eyes quickly scanning the contents of each page.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
His fingers suddenly stopped flipping through the pages, and his eyes fixed on a certain line of words.
"Finally found it..."
Lynn held his breath and stared at the words in the notebook with sharp eyes.
Although the handwriting was unclear, the message hidden in it was undoubtedly the answer he urgently needed.
"After testing, the scales of the universe could not save us, but after risking everything, we tipped the scales..."
"From now on, the balance of justice that represents equal exchange and absolute fairness is no longer fair. All transactions that pass the balance review will be repaid tenfold!"
“We changed everything so we can get a tenfold gain on our first trade!”
"Our last hope, we are betting everything on this. A sculpture sitting in the front row of the Pantheon has been destroyed. It is at the highest level..."
"The balance..."
Lin En's eyes became more fierce, and the content between the lines aroused a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
He flung open his robe and looked down at his chest.
Sure enough, a line of text suddenly appeared there: "According to the rules of the great existence, equal exchange. On the other side of the scale, you need to leave your life here..."
"The balance! This thing is the culprit that trapped me!"
Lynn's heart was shaken, and thoughts were churning in his mind.
The notes mentioned that the balance had now tilted and any trade would be returned tenfold.
However, this is not good news for Lynn.
"When on earth did I ever make a deal with this so-called balance? But no matter what the deal was, it will inevitably become a huge trouble after the price has increased tenfold!"
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
The more this situation occurs, the more we must not panic.
It is not difficult to see from those words that the balance should be something quite precious, or even some kind of divine artifact.
Could it be that the mazes he is in now are derived from divine artifacts?
I had unknowingly made a deal with the divine balance in this maze...
"But I didn't take anything. A transaction must go through a buying and selling process. Even if you force me to buy or sell, you still have to give me something..."
When Lin En said this, his eyes suddenly locked onto Xiao Lu!
If there was one thing on him that came from the maze, it was Little Green.
But this was not what he gained, but what Count Lusen gained a long time ago...
