GDK 683: Divine Scrolls
After arriving at the fort, Han Shuo surrendered his divine tablet and fifty blue crystal coins to an officer. The officer scanned Han Shuo’s divine tablet by placing it on a pentagonal magical device, then nodded his head and returned the divine tablet to Han Shuo, indicating that he may enter.
The divine tablet was like a travel pass on Elysium. Without a divine tablet, a person’s identity could not be identified and therefore they would not be allowed entry to the fort. One would also need fifty blue crystal coins for the entry fees.
After carefully observing for a while, Han Shuo noticed that of the endless stream of people entering the fort, the weakest of them possessed demigod strength. A great majority of them were basegods and lowgods. Only a few of them were midgods and not a single one of them was a highgod.
Han Shuo followed the crowd and entered the fort in order. It was after he arrived at the gates that he learned that this place was called Fort Verka.
The first thing that entered Han Shuo’s eyes after he entered Fort Verka was a row of divine guards suited in dark armor. They were vigilantly observing the arriving crowd and maintaining order.
After carefully eavesdropping for some time, Han Shuo learned that Fort Verka was administered by the House of Croton. They were in charge of implementing taxes and ensuring the safety of Fort Verka, maintaining order in the fort.
Donna had previously explained to Han Shuo that there were myriads of families clans that filled every corner of Elysium. They pledged their lives and complete devotion to the twelve Overgods and served as viceroys to their respective Overgods. Some ancient family clans, possessing immense strength, might even administer more than one city. While some family clans were weaker and could only be in charge of some fortresses or towns. The House of Croton that was in charge of Fort Verka was a small, third-rate family clan.
However, after entering Fort Verka, Han Shuo discovered that this fortress was at least five times the size of Brettel City. Its population numbered merely in the thousands with a great majority of the populace being demigods and basegods. Only approximately three hundred of them were truly in the ranks of godhood with merely a dozen or more midgods.
Han Shuo did not rush in departing Fort Verka. Instead, he wandered through the streets and alleys of the fort to experience the differences between Profound Continent and Elysium. With no expert in Fort Verka who could threaten his life, Han Shuo boldly had Cauldron Spirit release a few demon generals. With the demon generals flying all around Fort Verka, Han Shuo very quickly came to figure out the overall situation of the fort.
“Thank you for your purchase!” the young lady handed the scroll to Han Shuo. She seemed to be in a pretty great mood.
Han Shuo unrolled the scroll, flipped through a few pages, and started reading the scroll right before the young lady. After a few minutes, Han Shuo was obviously deeply disappointed.
The contents on the scroll merely recorded the understanding of a lowgod of destruction who had just stepped into godhood. That person’s strength probably wasn’t even on Han Shuo’s level. Nothing written on the scroll was substantive and it did not help Han Shuo one bit. Three purple crystal coins were wasted just like that.
“Would you like to purchase more scrolls? I believe that the divine scroll which costs ten purple crystal coins will be more suitable for you,” the young lady wearing a big smile asked Han Shuo.
“Let’s have a look!” Han Shuo looted a hundred or more purple crystal coins from the bodies of Kaiser and Eriksson and therefore he wasn’t particularly short on purple crystal coins. As he spoke, he withdrew ten purple crystal coins and handed them to her.
“Alright!” the young lady smiled sweetly and received Han Shuo’s purple crystal coins. After handing Han Shuo that divine scroll he purchased, she smilingly said, “Different prices contain information of different levels. Perhaps this will have what you are looking for!”
“Let’s hope so!” Han Shuo replied casually. He unrolled the divine scroll and started reading in front of her again.
Han Shuo gasped in surprise. Although this divine scroll also did not record any usable realizations, it described an attack method called the Orb of Destruction. It worked by rapidly condensing divine energy into a sphere and whirling it in the Domain of Divinity in a manner conforming to the edict of destruction.
The scroll described in detail the method of condensing divine energy into an orb but was rather vague in the explanation about how to whirl the orb correctly in the Domain of Divinity. It appeared that the author was purposefully hiding it. From the looks of it, the author ought to have come to comprehend this attack method by himself and was pushed by circumstances to write a scroll and sell it for crystal coins. However, at the same time, the author was reluctant to have others fully understand his attack method, therefore deliberately writing about it in the most confusing manner.
“This one is not bad!” Han Shuo nodded smilingly. He turned to look at the remaining few scrolls underneath the boundary and was prepared to buy all of them. But before he could, the young lady suddenly smiled and said, “I have a special scroll about the edict of destruction. I believe you will definitely be interested in it!”
