Chapter 330 The Invitation Stones 2

?

"There are many rumors about the invitation stones. One of them being that they were made by Lucifer Morningstar."

Lenny's attention was drawn to this, but Ella was explaining, and interrupting now would not be right.

"Other rumors say that they were made by uncrowded gods, and some say that they were created naturally. But one thing was sure about them. Each stone was made out of the lives of millions of people. Each stone carried the blood essence of millions of people, accumulated over a very long period of time. Some say that the stones were intentionally made."

She was feeling thirsty, so she stretched for a bottle of wine. She presented it to Lenny.

He understood what she meant and helped her to open it.

However, she did not bother with the glass and brought the bottle straight to her mouth.

~Gulp~

The bottle did not leave her mouth until half of its contents had been downed into her stomach.

A feat that Lenny considered to be quite incredible. After all, from the smell permeating the air, Lenny could tell that this was whiskey, and this woman had taken it like she was drinking water.

"Wow! That hit the spot," she turned to him. "You want?"

Lenny shook his head. "You were saying something about the invitation stones. They were intentionally made?"

"Yes! They were. This theory, I actually believe, after all, they were only fully gathered after the third world war."

"Third world war?" Lenny asked. After all, he was only aware of two world wars, and these were on his own earth.

For the first time since he came here, this was the first and only disparity he had discovered between his earth and this one.

Ella turned to him. She nodded in understanding of his confusion. After all, Lenny was young. He was only born a couple of years ago.

She did not know that he asked because he was relating it to the knowledge he had from his own world.

"These wars saw the deaths of millions of people in pointless struggles for power, land, and resources. Another method for creating the invitation stones was by creating world pandemics that resulted in the deaths of millions of people. Have you ever heard of the Black Plague or COVID-19?"

Lenny shook his head in a lie of both.

"Either way, both of them were diseases that should not exist on this plane, and we're introduced from a foreign plane.

"The apocalypse itself was long foretold. It could not be avoided, as it was a prophecy set in stone in the cosmic stone wall."

"Cosmic Stone Wall! What is that?" Lenny asked.

"Hey... You are straying again." She warned with a frown.

Lenny noticed that her eyes had become a bit hazy.

Apparently, she was becoming a bit tipsy.

With how she took gulps of the bottle, Lenny was really not expecting her to get drunk so easily.

Also, there was still the fact that she was not at all weak.

Once more, Lenny used Surveyor on her.

The tags and stats had not changed.

In her stats, there was a particular icon that had drawn his attention from the very beginning.

It was marked, <Injured>

Lenny assumed that it was most likely because of that icon that she got so easily intoxicated.

Then again, when he looked at her, he could not see any injury whatsoever.

Her skin was as flawless as the pebble laying by the shore of the sea.

Then again, that was thought about for another time.I think you should take a look at

Right now, he was more interested in the invitation stones.

"So how does the invitation stone concern Ciri?"

"Well," Ella turned to him, her eyes gaining clarity for a quick second, "Ciri was a keeper of the Invitation Stone.

"In this world, there are eight stones. This is a representation of the Earth's number on the cosmic stone wall. These stones had long been gathered step by step by other beings and witches. Hence, their value to the underworld.

"Each stone is connected to its invitee. If you get the stone, you can negate any magic she throws at you."

Lenny nodded in understanding. However, this introduced yet another problem.

How was he going to get an invitation stone?

No! 

How was he going to get Ella's Invitation Stone?

However, before he could ask this question, Ella suddenly grabbed him by his shirt and placed her lips on his.

<Alert>

<Invasion by Corrupt Holy Power>

<Host is advised to stay away, or else soul integrity will be compromised.

Immediately, Lenny pushed her away.

"Lady Ella, thanks for the offer, but I'm good!" He pushed her away, really trying hard not to smack this woman in the face.

"What? I have seen the way you look at me! Even when you were fucking my maids, your eyes were still on me."

She leaned in, grabbed his hand, and placed it on her thighs.

Once more, Lenny got warning alarms from the system.

<Alert>

<Invasion by Corrupt Holy Power>

Lenny did not know what was going on, but if the system warned against it, then he was to leave it as soon as possible.

"Thank you, lady Ella, but I had my fill with your maids." Lenny gave her a smile as he retracted his hand.

She groaned a bit but did not push it any further.

"Finally, we are here!" She exclaimed as she looked out of the window.

The car had stopped in her compound. But it was not in front of the house but in front of the flower garden.

The driver opened the door for her, and she came down.

Meanwhile, Lenny was contemplating what was meant by corrupted holy power in his mind.

"Are you coming?" She turned around and asked.

Lenny nodded and followed behind her.

"Oh, wait!" She hurried back inside and took the bottle of wine.

"Okay, follow me!"

"Where are we going?" Lenny asked.

"To show you where you can get Ciri's invitation stone."
