Chapter 224: Ancient God Gaze

Chapter 224: Ancient God Gaze

When Fang Linyan placed his hand on this “handcrafted ornament”, he got prompts from the joint trial badge on his neck,

“The 2 items you hold have a similar peculiar aura, do you want to synthesize them?”

“Friendly Hint: 3000 common points are required for synthesis.”

With such prompts, did Fang Linyan still need to think? He synthesized them decisively!

The second item Fang Linyan chose was a deerskin bag. The key point was that the contents in the bag were all magic cores!! Lots of magic cores!! There was an astonishing sum of 11 cores!

Not to mention that these cores were of high quality. Even the worst one was similar to the previous 2 that dropped from the thunderbird before.

The best one looked like a blazing crimson flame sealed in a crystal. Although it was only the size of a finger, there was heat blowing toward him. The creature that gave birth to it must have been incredibly strong, perhaps even the thunderbird was on its menu.

According to Fang Linyan’s preliminary estimations, if he took these magic cores to the Westminster Abbey Square and asked Root to do the “Repetitive Mission: Vengeance” directly, his reputation might immediately raise to the worship.

And the third item he chose was a strange scroll.

The scroll had a very unique shape. It looked like a very wide leaf and was stained the shade of red when fresh blood coagulates. There were a few mysterious black characters written on it with an unknown liquid, looking twisted and curvy.

Below the scroll was a painting.

The dark clouds almost covered the earth, and the setting sun that was about to disappear into the horizon stubbornly shined a ray of sunlight onto the ground.

A withered tree could be seen in the place where the sun shone,

There was an ancient ruin in front of the big tree, which looked like an altar.

Next to it were bones scattered around. From its characteristics, it could be seen that it belonged to a hawk-like raptor.

After looking at this painting, it gave people a strong sense of the end of a hero’s fate, the twilight of the gods, and the afterglow of the sunset being engulfed by dark clouds……

And one couldn’t look at this painting for too long. A few more glances would attract and captivate his heart and soul within it. He would need some perseverance to pull himself out from it. Some would almost say that it was evil.

The key was this was a magic scroll that he could use immediately; it could be converted into instant combat power!

Ancient God Gaze (Scroll)

Additional Explanation: [Ancient God’s Blessing].

Pray to the ancient god and sacrifice 80% of your current HP (this sacrifice will not be fatal, at least 1 HP will remain) in exchange for the protection of the ancient god to get a powerful shield formed by magic and divine power.

Inscription:

Sad whispers linger on this scroll,

Time begins to fade everything,

The glory that the earth once had has been gradually forgotten.

As the new god rises rapidly, the ancient god can only enters the cruel eternal sleep because of the lack of their worshippers’ willpower.

It looks forward to…..

Looks forward to finding that slight turning point!

However, there were 6 items on the table, why did Fang Linyan only pick 3 and leave in a hurry?

The reason was simple, in his perception, Cavendish Malfoy was radiating a very dangerous aura in front of him!

How should he put it? Cavendish was like a stick of lighted dynamite that was already making a tssss sound. It made people feel scared instinctively, wanting to get away from him immediately.

Though Fang Linyan could understand Cavendish Malfoy’s despair after hearing the news, his mood of wanting to destroy himself, then take down the world with him. After all, this father had been through such a tragic incident.

So for Fang Linyan, the beautiful and peculiar leaf could upgrade the Ironwood Branch, which meant enhancement.

The bag full of magic cores could be sold at Westminster Abbey Square for a good price, which meant immediate profit,

While the Ancient God Gaze scroll represented a life-saving method.

By exchanging the Wailing Robe that wouldn’t be useful to him in a long while for these three extremely useful items, Fang Linyan felt that he had already gotten a great profit. Now that his profits were guaranteed and he felt that his life was endangered, why wouldn’t he leave?

—The people who killed themselves when the stock market crashed were all too greedy for their good. Their mindset was almost similar: I will leave after I earn a little more. Fang Linyan didn’t want to make the same mistake they did.

However, it was also because of the pressure from the outside world, Fang Linyan didn’t look too closely into the items when he was picking them out.

Especially this scroll. He felt that it was a pretty good life-saving skill when he looked at its parameters so he took it, but he didn’t pay attention to the warning.

Now, he hesitated after giving the scroll a closer look.

The attribute that the scroll “can’t be improved with common points or potential points” looked good, but it was a brutal example that acted as a reminder that sometimes free stuff might not be cheap, but instead things you need to use the money on might be the real deal.

If anyone had any objections to this saying, they could question Dong Jing Liu or even Mr. Linton’s zipper…

What Fang Linyan didn’t notice was that when he put this scroll into his private space, it happened to be together with the mysterious black antique phone. Therefore, he didn’t notice that when he was toying around with the scroll, a sprout representing new life sprouted on the old, the wilted tree in the painting below it!

So as Fang Linyan hesitated, he was stunned to see that the scroll automatically turned into a little light and seeped into his body.

“…. What the!” Fang Linyan was almost too stunned to speak “What the hell is this?”

And he immediately received the prompt,

You learned the Ancient God Gaze Scroll.

You have gained a special ability: [Ancient God’s Blessing].

Since this ability is affected by unknown factors, it is being generated slowly. The expected generation time is 48 hours.

Staying rooted in the same spot for a few seconds, Fang Linyan could only sigh and accept the reality of it. However, he felt that the ability of the [Ancient God’s Blessing] was good, so he didn’t feel that it was a pity.

After regaining his senses, Fang Linyan suddenly noticed that the screen of the black antique phone in the private storage space was on, and there was a text message.

His heart suddenly trembled. This mysterious black antique phone was extremely important to Fang Linyan. It could be called the beginning of everything, and the text message shown on it changed his entire fate.

Fang Linyan took out the phone immediately. He found out that there was indeed a text message, but the contents of the message were blank.

After pondering for a while, he began to check the phone over and over again. Until he finally found out that this phone was charged with Bisca data stream before, so its battery was increased from the initial out of battery state to 1/3 battery bar.

Because of the properties of the energy, the antique phone’s battery wouldn’t drop when it was on standby mode.

But now there was an obvious power shortage in the phone. There was a prompt to recharge, showing that it was currently at 19%.

Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan immediately understood what was going on.

It should be that when he stored the items, he unintentionally put the ancient god’s scroll and the mysterious antique black phone together, so the ancient god’s power absorbed 10% of the Bisca data stream from the antique phone. This power had a trace of ability to change fate, which caused some changes in the scroll.

Then there was the abnormal event of automatically learning the scroll.

At this point, what was done was done, so Fang Linyan just happily faced the reality of it. He had 2 goals in returning to Diagon Alley. The first was to go to Borgin and Burkes. His intention was simple. He had to take the chance to maximize his profit before the Malfoy Family did anything yet and before the news spread.

So after he walked into the Borgin and Burkes, he greeted Old Vico directly, then he said nervously,

“Old man, something big happened.”

Old Vico wanted to speak impatiently, but Fang Linyan’s warning stopped him from doing that. He asked with some uncertainty,

“What happened?”

Fang Linyan took a deep breath and placed the letter he got from Fernand on the table,

“Take a look for yourself.”

Old Vico picked it up and took a look, and he immediately lost his voice,

“How could this be!”

Seeing Old Vico’s expression, Fang Linyan suddenly felt confident — Fernand’s group had gathered in this store before. It was impossible to say that Old Vico didn’t know what they were up to — Old Vico’s reaction showed that he was deeply involved with the Death Eaters.

So Fang Linyan snatched the letter back and sneered,

“There’s nothing impossible in this world! I’ve already booked a ticket to leave London, and I don’t dare to get involved in this matter. Do you want this letter?”

TL: [Ancient God’s Blessing] hmmmm, seems pretty invincible.
