Chapter 510: Chapter 353: Even I Can Be Yours! (2)
Seven scrolls, quietly laid upon the table.
The moment the scrolls appeared, the temperature in the Holy Daughter’s chamber dropped instantly.
Carlos felt as though a layer of frost was forming on his body, his skin uncontrollably sprouting a dense layer of goosebumps.
He was afraid!
Carlos didn’t know why, but those seven seemingly ordinary scrolls made his hair stand on end.
Seeing Carlos’s demeanor, Rose Vesper simply sat quietly beside him, a faint smile on her face as if waiting for Carlos to make a choice.
She didn’t urge him, for she understood that the moment Carlos appeared here, he was already unable to escape the arrangement of destiny.
The seven scrolls had once been stolen along with her hoard of wealth and diaries full of incriminating records. Rose Vesper thought she would never see those seven scrolls again. Yet, on the very night her identity and lineage were confirmed, she received another oracle, and the same seven scrolls appeared before her once again.
Moreover, compared to before, Rose Vesper knew more about the true purpose of these seven scrolls.
She could not only learn various kinds of knowledge from these scrolls but also use them to create a large number of strong and loyal servants for herself.
Carlos was a very suitable target, and if she could control Carlos, then it was like having control over tens of thousands of adventurers under the command of the adventurer’s guild—a considerably powerful force that would be very useful for consolidating her position and assassinating Augustus.
Carlos’s fingers trembled lightly. He wanted to touch the scrolls but instinctively felt some fear. Several seconds later, Carlos turned his gaze towards Rose Vesper, "Just by touching these scrolls, can I obtain great strength?"
Rose Vesper shook her head slightly, "No, obtaining strength isn’t that simple."
"What you get is only an opportunity."
"Whether you can obtain great strength from the scrolls depends on your own wisdom, abilities, and talent."
Carlos’s eyes narrowed into slits, "If that’s the case, it’s already precious enough, so why leave this opportunity for me?"
Having climbed to the position of president of the adventurer’s guild, Carlos was certainly no fool. The more benefits he could gain, the more suspicious his heart became, after all, mana does not fall from the sky.
It’s impossible for such a good thing to happen without reason.
"I told you, I hope you can collaborate with me."
"Let me tell it to you directly, I want to sit in the position of the Holy Court Pope."
Hiss...
Carlos was shocked.
He looked at Rose Vesper with an incredulous face. This woman’s ambition was truly frightening.
The position of the Pope of the Holy Court had always been male, a Female Pope had never appeared before; this was as astonishing as if a male Church Venerable had suddenly emerged in the Earth Mother Goddess Sect.
All this time, he had really underestimated this Holy Daughter.
"If I want to climb up there, I need to pull down Augustus... Although I have already obtained great strength from the scrolls, to fight against Augustus alone is still not enough, so I need help."
"If you can obtain great strength from the scrolls, you will need to help me deal with Augustus."
"Of course, in return, I will help you deal with the Hero, Qin Chu, so that you can smoothly get Nadia. How about that?"
"Even more so, if you wish, even I can be yours," Rose Vesper’s voice suddenly turned seductive, her cheeks blushed slightly, eyes silky.
At that moment, Carlos found Rose Vesper incredibly beautiful.
In his acquaintance with women, she was second only to Shaye Nicholas.
His heart, involuntarily, skipped a beat for a moment.
Whew...
Carlos took a deep breath.
Now that Rose Vesper had laid out her terms, Carlos somewhat believed her, considering this woman wanted something from him.
Additionally, Rose Vesper’s strength had indeed seen significant growth; the woman, who had once been almost on par with him, had now far surpassed him. This also sparked Carlos’s competitive spirit and an anxious impulse.
As for whether he would still collaborate with Rose Vesper after gaining strength and getting involved in the internal strife of the Holy Court, that would be determined later.
After a brief hesitation, Carlos no longer wavered, his gaze fixed on the seven scrolls on the table... These seven scrolls would decide the opportunities he could seize and the abilities he might acquire; he must choose wisely.
However, no matter how much Carlos examined them, the seven scrolls seemed almost indistinguishable; he could neither determine nor sense any difference between them.
If that was the case, then he might as well leave it to fate, Carlos reached out and grabbed one of the scrolls.
Buzz!
The moment his fingertips touched the scroll, Carlos felt a terrifying force of attraction in front of him, like a massive vortex wildly pulling at his soul.
His consciousness, in an instant, seemed to drift into the endless void, surrounded by thick darkness.
This sudden development also made Carlos somewhat panic.
Just then, whoosh, a large swirl of blue and purple flames burst forth in front of him.
Whoo... whoo... whoo...
The strange sound kept on, and within a short time, clusters of flames intensely leaped around Carlos’s body, the blue and purple hues enveloping him completely.
Within the dancing flames, a weird, contorted face gradually emerged.
"Aaaaah..."
At that moment, Carlos let out a near-desperate wail.
He felt as if his eyes were almost burned to cinders by an indescribable high temperature, as if streams of blood were continually spurting from his pupils.
He felt that his body was enduring a pain no mortal could withstand.
He felt that his soul was almost about to melt away in that instant.
"Hee hee hee hee hee..."
Accompanied by Carlos’s despairing wail, a weird laughter echoed around.
He is the master of Deceit.
He is the Weaver of Fate!
He is the god of Trickery and Fate!
All he wanted was... chaos, chaos, and fucking chaos!
Although this guy seemed more suited to the god of darkness, blood, and slaughter, who let him choose himself?
So, my most loyal servant, bring me a devout catastrophe.
Go kill that ant who cannot see through fate!
Spurt...
In reality, Carlos’s eyes burst out, and viscous blood flowed down his handsome face.
...
Elsewhere.
Snow Mountain!
Shaye Nicholas’s face was extremely somber.
She had been searching in these endless Snow Mountains for a long time. She was becoming more and more certain of one thing: that damn Hero had played her.
It was unclear if Qin Chu knew someone was tracking him or if the man was just habitually cautious.
In any case, he had deliberately muddled the magic fluctuations after releasing the Space Transmission Magic Array, causing a serious deviation for Shaye Nicholas when she tried to determine the coordinates based on the magic fluctuations.
Shaye Nicholas had still searched atop these Snow Mountains for a long time without a single find, only then realizing this fact.
Thinking that she, a formidable Dark Witch, had been fooled by a mere Hero, starving and freezing for so long on these Snow Mountains, Shaye Nicholas was beyond furious.
This matter wasn’t over.
The next time she saw Qin Chu, she definitely had to teach this sneaky and deceitful guy a lesson.
...
Casidale Truro Forest!
Qin Chu, Helois, Iyeta, and Antia, four figures, were searching through the forest.
Although Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment had roughly recorded some locations, they only knew it was in the Casidale Great Forest, but which specific location in the forest was unclear, with only a vague description.
And the Casidale Great Forest was one of the largest forests on the Sky Dome Continent; finding their target here was not an easy task.
Despite the considerable strength of the group, even after searching for a long time, there was hardly any discovery.
Hisss...
Suddenly, a crimson dagger emerged from behind, directly stabbing towards Qin Chu’s heart.
Before Qin Chu could react, a Long Spear next to him tore through the air and instantly impaled the crimson shadow behind him, followed by a flick of the spear.
The weird corpse was instantly flung away.
Strange squeaking noises came from the ground as the body twisted in a bizarre manner, and within a few seconds, it was lifeless.
This was probably the strange creature that Carlos had intentionally revealed intelligence on before to please Nadia, the thief adventurer who encountered it in the great forest.
From the outside, it didn’t resemble a human at all but more like a lean, blood-drained monkey.
Its entire body was covered with mold-like fluff, as if it was a movable, already rotten and moldy piece of meat.
However, on these weird life forms, there were still tattered pieces of cloth hanging, and what they held in their hands were quality weapons that only appeared in human society.
There were daggers, bows and arrows, battle sabers, Long Spears, Magic Wands...
On the fingers of some of these mysterious entities, traces of storage rings could even be seen.
The identities of these weird creatures were precisely those human power-seekers who once entered the Casidale Great Forest for adventures, seeking so-called treasures, chasing stronger power, or even immortality.
They had fallen in this mysterious forest.
But death was not the end for them.
Their corpses still walked and wandered in this great forest, hunting other lives that stepped into the great forest just as they had been hunted before.
This directly resulted in such creatures being everywhere in this forest, a staggering number, and no one knew exactly how many lives had been lost here over hundreds and thousands of years.
But today, these wandering spirits in the jungle had encountered their nemesis.
Along their way, they left behind bodies all over the ground.
Qin Chu found that Iyeta was actually a bit of a miser; she removed every storage ring from each dead adventurer, and each storage ring made Iyeta beam with joy, showing the considerable gains.
Well, later, let Iyeta turn in a small portion, and taking away about seventy percent himself shouldn’t be too excessive.
The four-person team continued to advance.
Shaye’s figure silently emerged from behind Qin Chu.
Her gaze swept around, and at some point, it seemed they had already entered the central area of the Casidale Great Forest.
Between the towering trees, one could glimpse a layer of shallow, red mist, which became denser the closer one got to the center.
It was like writhing blood, permeated with a pungent smell of blood.
"Be careful..." Shaye’s voice was somewhat solemn.
"I can feel that we are probably getting close to what we’re searching for."
