Chapter 673: The Strange Guy…
“You see, I’m a fair trader and I like to let people know of my courageous efforts in obtaining the map before I give it to them…”
“As you might already know, the location of the Tower of God is mostly known to the inhabitants of this world, and as you may also know, they really hate us. Like the hate of a goat and a lion…” he said in exasperation.
“I won’t deny that,” Zeras replied to him, he had also been a victim of that a few minutes ago.
“Good. So to obtain this map, it could literally be compared to going to hell and asking Yama for your mother’s lost soul and coming back alive to tell the tale.
So, in short, it took my difficult effort. In that, it made this map a very high-value object.
And might I remind you that the one who possesses the direction to the Tower of God before the tower appears already has half the battle won. So you definitely want to have this…”
“State your price…” Zeras cut him off, already understanding where the young man was going.
“Good. Good, you do understand the language of business, unlike those idiots back there…” He said with an angered expression as he looked behind him inside the city.
“So the price. It is simple, since we cultivators need no money at all.
How about you simply offer me something valuable, and of equal value, hmm?” He proposed as Hale’s eyebrows furrowed before he stretched out his hands and something quickly appeared in them. Something none other than a…
“A… a horn!?” Cody called out with a raised eyebrow as Zeras’ eyes showed mockery and also with a hint of unwillingness.
“As expected of a blind piece of trash. You call this a mere horn! This is one of the three epic artifacts of my race. The Abyssal Devil Horn!
A piece of artifact obtained from the head of the powerful horn of an Undying Rank abyssal devil from the abyssal universe. There are only two of these more left in the entire abyssal universe…”
“And you’re willing to hand such a valuable thing for the map? Is it worth it?” he asked with eyes that studied his customer even more, and he noticed unwillingness.
Zeras’ eyes flashed with melancholy on looking at the horn, but his gaze settled as he turned to look at the young man.
“This is a mythic artifact in my clan, one given to me because I am the son of the patriarch, but I have been given an assignment in the Tower of God.
My father has told me I would find an even better artifact of our race within the tower. A supreme grade artifact situated on the third floor of the tower.
To him, that is the only treasure. If I obtain the map of the tower and get my hands quickly on the supreme horn before anyone does, then it will be worth it if I lose this horn.
Anything for the goal I have been sent to achieve!” Zeras said convincingly as Cody’s eyes flashed for a few seconds before he laughed heartily within his mind.
‘Stupid idiot!’
“Good. I’ll accept the exchange,” Cody said, stretching his hands out only to receive a snort from Zeras.
“What do you take me for? A fool?”
“Huh?”
“Give me the map first and then I’ll give you my treasure,” Zeras said as Cody took out the map from his pocket and stretched it towards Zeras who held his end, before he then stretched his hand forth towards Zeras who also placed the horn on his palm and slowly, both let go of their object.
“Well, good Samaritan of mine. It’s deep night as you see and snow would freeze my tired bones, lest I leave for the inn as quickly as possible. Adios!” he said and in an evasive swift motion, he packed up the scroll in the hat he laid down and then threw forward a ring which made a portal appear mid-air.
Less than three seconds, the young man had entered into the portal and disappeared and that only made Zeras even more suspicious.
Quickly unfolding the map, his face changed as he sighted nothing but a few words on the white piece of paper.
“No One Knows The Location Of The Tower Of God You Idiot! Not until the tower reveals itself!”
“Tch, that crooked bastard. I knew he’s up to no good!” Zeras mused under his breath but he wasn’t even angry at all as he rolled back the scroll and threw it into his storage ring before walking off.
Why didn’t he care? Because Zeras also had nothing to lose.
The horn he had exchanged for the map was of course no supreme whatever horn. It was a slice-off horn from the head of a cosmic rank devil in the Shadow Impression Valley.
One which Zeras had killed by the reverberation of his attacks on another powerful devil.
The horn had simply been kept in his spatial ring for the first days when he was making research about the different classes of devils and wondering maybe their horns could reveal to him a devil’s wear, since they all looked alike, he needed to know how to recognize them and he had sought for his answers in the horn.
And that was the horn he had given to Cody. It was a truly worthy exchange. And besides, Zeras now knew one thing too, and that is that no one really knows the Tower of God’s location.
Perhaps that was why Blathemore said that it was mythic.
But he knew if the Tower of God’s location was revealed, then why are they all sitting down doing nothing? They would have all run to it, wouldn’t they?
Besides, he had learned from the strange notes that the Tower of God reveals itself and by his calculation, there were just three days left from now for the revelation.
Now that he had really confirmed it, all he needed to do was wait. But now, he needed an inn.
Immediately, he disappeared further into the gates, mixing in with the otherworlders, before he soon found an inn after walking for about three hours more.
It was quite a large building, one that you could call abandoned and inhabited by the otherworlders, and without wasting much time, Zeras disappeared into the building.
