It was a fierce power.
Marvin frowned.
Who could be so evil that they wouldn’t even let a Dragon Soul go?
These Dragon Teeth were extremely frightening things, refined by Alchemy along with Divine Power. Even if they seemed rough, they were actually very sharp and were filled with small barbed tips.
An instant of carelessness, and one’s strength might be absorbed in an instant.
From what Marvin sensed, these Dragon Teeth seemed like corrupt Monsters longing for life.
But they were apparently lenient toward that Dragon Soul, otherwise it wouldn’t have been able to keep up for this long.
‘It’s a pity, if only there was a Master Alchemist.’
‘A knowledgeable Legend Wizard would have been good too. Who knows how useful a Dragon Soul like this could be?’
Marvin looked at the weak and angry Dragon Soul and inwardly shook his head.
He had no way to subdue that thing, this wasn’t within his specialties.
However, when he wanted to walk away, he noticed a darker spot within the blue light!
Because of the blue light, the surroundings were blue, apart from that floor tile.
‘Reddish Brown floor tile!’
Marvin was overjoyed.
But there was a problem.
That floor tile was at the center of the blue light, in the center of the Dragon Teeth encirclement.
If he wanted to step on that floor tile and activate the mechanism, he would have to get within the Dragon Soul’s boundaries.
That truly wasn’t something easy.
Although the Dragon Soul was injured and couldn’t harm Marvin, as a particular type of force field, it might not necessarily let Marvin get in.
He tried to walk a step nearer to the blue light, but how could he have imagined that a Dragon Head would form and try to bite him right away!
Marvin dodged with Shadow Step and the Dragon Head only pounced at empty air.
But that floor tile was still far from Marvin.
This was quite troublesome.
The blue Dragon Soul bellowed, seemingly saying something.
Marvin’s heart moved, he knew that there were many Dragons who kept the wisdom they had during their life. For this guy to be able to live till now, he might be able to communicate.
The problem was that he didn’t speak Draconic.
Thus he could only probe, “Hey, do you speak Common? If you do, we might be able to have a discussion.”
Then, the Dragon Soul turned silent.
The blue light pulled back before a small Dragon Head appeared.
He said in a deep voice, “Release… Release me…”
Marvin clapped his hands, there was a good show!
…
Braziers, mural, and a faint burnt smell.
Butterfly was standing in front of a mural in a daze. There was a faint layer of mist in front of the mural, so she couldn’t see clearly.
A wise older man stood by her side, the two were standing shoulder to shoulder and the man let out a long sigh.
“This is the 2nd floor of the underground temple.”
“There is some stuff written on the mural… If you are curious you might as well take a look. But you might regret it afterwards.”
“In fact, ever since you had been attracted to the Lumber Woods by that Green Dragon, some things were already bound to happen.”
Butterfly looked at Professor in a daze, “Such as?”
“You are bound to regret.” Professor answered naturally.
Butterfly frowned, “Why?”
“Because you’ll definitely end up looking at that mural.” Professor said confidently, “You are that kind of person.”
Soon after, he turned toward the darkness.
Next second, the mist surrounding the mural disappeared and the images became clear.
“Hmpf! You say that as if you know me.”
Butterfly rolled her eyes, not caring about the difference in strength between them.
It’s just that… She was hesitating due to Professor’s words.
Her curiosity prompted her to look, but Professor wouldn’t say such words without a good reason.
Moreover, there seemed to be a voice in her heart shouting, ‘Don’t look, don’t look.’
It was only a mural, what could possibly happen?
Butterfly mumbled before taking out a white flower. She started tearing the petals off one by one, “Look, don’t look, look…”
…
Underground temple, 1st floor.
The communication between Marvin and the Dragon Head was very strenuous.
Although that guy kept his wisdom, his intelligence was clearly on the verge of death.
He could speak Common, but not very fluently and it was somewhat strange.
He kept asking Marvin to release him.
And the most annoying part was that he hadn’t told Marvin how to take care of those Dragon Teeth.
With just Marvin, it would be impossible to get rid of the Dragon Teeth.
This didn’t mean that Marvin couldn’t do anything to those Dragon Teeth.
In fact, as long as he used Weeping Sky, these Dragon Teeth would turn to dust in an instant.
The problem was that the Dragon Soul would also be destroyed in the process.
Marvin felt that the Dragon Teeth were somehow linked to something in the underground temple. If he forcibly destroyed them, it might create a disaster.
Thus he still tried his best to communicate with the Dragon Soul.
After chatting for a bit, although it still wasn’t completely foolproof, Marvin more or less figured what the Dragon Soul meant.
There was something on the 2nd floor of the underground temple that could settle these Dragon Teeth.
The Dragon Soul hoped Marvin could help release him and was willing to give him some benefits.
Hearing about the benefits, Marvin was suddenly exhilarated.
After a brief hesitation, since both sides had an issue with proper communication, he took out the Book of Nalu.
–Serve as a temporary translator–
–Can you understand Draconic?–
Marvin inquired.
Quickly, the Book of Nalu answered:
–One Divinity, translator for an hour–
Chapter 467: Book of Forgiveness
Chapter 467: Book of Forgiveness
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Facing the greedy Book of Nalu, Marvin sneered and wrote:
–Continuous translation, otherwise you won’t get any Divinity in the future–
The Book of Nalu immediately turned silent.
From Marvin’s current understanding of the Book of Nalu, although it was now stronger, it had yet to reach the level of being able to hunt by itself.
Marvin was still its master.
Although the two had reached some agreements, it was due to Marvin’s powerful willpower, that the Book of Nalu had no choice but to compromise.
–Only this time–
–Or you can pay one Divinity and I’ll directly impart you the knowledge of Draconic–
The Book of Nalu quickly reacted.
Marvin hesitated but ultimately chose to decline the offer of the Book of Nalu.
Although he very much wanted to be able to understand Draconic, the Book of Nalu’s knowledge impartation was clearly too straightforward.
He didn’t doubt that the Book of Nalu had this kind of ability, but he hadn’t forgotten that this was the artifact of the God of Deception.
And not that long ago, it tried to overmaster Marvin.
If it did something during the impartation process, Marvin would be in huge trouble.
He chose temporary translator in the end.
Thus, they reached an agreement. The Dragon Soul began using Draconic to communicate with Marvin, and the Book of Nalu quickly turned the Draconic into Common for Marvin.
&nbs
p; …
Five minutes later, Marvin gained some understanding of the situation.
It was close to what he had guessed. The Dragon Soul’s memories were damaged, he only remembered that he was trapped there by a powerful existence as a punishment.
Those six Dragon Teeth were the key for restricting him.
A specific item was needed to remove these teeth. The item was called the [Book of Forgiveness].
Marvin estimated that this Dragon Soul was most likely personally imprisoned by Dragon God Hartson.
As for the specific reason, he wasn’t too clear about it.
It’s just that according to the Dragon Soul’s current appearance, this Dragon Soul didn’t seem to be completely evil.
Although he was violent, that was because the Dragon Teeth were continuously harming him.
After Marvin tried to communicate, he restrained himself and strove to reach a peaceful agreement. Although he had to compromise, most Evil Dragon Souls would be driven by their instincts and directly attack Marvin.
After all, most of the time, Dragon Souls were simply pure willpower energy. He couldn’t even meet the standard of a Soul, like Ghosts and Evil Spirits. He was only a damaged Soul.
…
With the explanations of the Dragon Soul, Marvin understood that the Book of Forgiveness was located in a library on the 2nd floor of the underground temple.
It was also said that this library contained a great amount of knowledge. It was one of the most precious secret locations of the Chromatic Dragons.
The Dragon Soul told him the way to enter the library.
But there was still one problem for Marvin.
Although Dragon God Hartson had already died, there was still someone guarding the library on the 2nd floor.
Librarian Fati.
A strange Wizard Dragonborn. Her body had been transformed by Dragon God Hartson and it was said that she had fused with the library, she would live forever and couldn’t be killed.
Her Magic Power was very formidable and her origin of magic came from the secret of the Dragon Magic and not from the Universe Magic Pool.
Wizard Dragonborn Fati was the Guardian of the library. Anyone trying to enter would be obliterated.
The Dragon Soul warned that Fati was very powerful and that if he could, he shouldn’t fight her from the front, otherwise Marvin might not be her match in the library’s space.
As for the path to the 2nd floor, Marvin had already confirmed that it was indeed those reddish brown floor tiles.
As long as he stood on one and spoke some Draconic, he would immediately get teleported to the 2nd floor.
This was most likely the reason why Butterfly disappeared.
The Wood Elf not only understood Draconic, she also seemed very proficient in speaking and might have unconsciously said a word.
…
After the two were done communicating, Marvin put away the Book of Nalu while the Dragon Soul got out of the way, letting Marvin stand on the floor tile.
They had reached an agreement, the agreement was sealed through a type of soul contract.
The Dragon Soul provided him the 2nd floor’s path and the specific location of the library while Marvin had to get the Book of Forgiveness to save the Dragon Soul.
Of course, there were additional factors.
But those couldn’t be heard by the Book of Nalu.
When Marvin stood on the reddish brown tile, the Dragon Soul said in broken Common with a deep voice, “Suppressing Book of Nalu.. Willpower not enough.”
“Something… In library… Can help you.”
“While looking for Book of Forgiveness, can also try to look for it.”
Marvin expressed his thanks after memorizing the description provided by the Dragon Soul.
When Marvin took out the Book of Nalu earlier, the Dragon Soul had an intense reaction.
He warned Marvin that the sheet was extremely dangerous.
But it wasn’t like there is nothing capable of restraining it. In fact, there was such a treasure in the Dragon God’s library.
With him doing such a good deed, Marvin was naturally more willing to help the Dragon Soul.
Otherwise, just the 2nd floor’s path wouldn’t be enough to sway Marvin.
After all, the 1st floor should still have many reddish brown tiles. As long as he was careful, he would still find some with energy remaining.
In short, both of them reached a superficial agreement in front of the Book of Nalu, and then reached a second secret agreement.
‘In Feinan, regardless which library it was, it would be a great place.’
‘Especially the stash of Dragon God Hartson. Besides the Book of Forgiveness and that item the Dragon Soul spoke of, there should be other nice things, right?’
Marvin stood on the colored tile and rolled his eyes, thinking how to maximize the profits.
Under the Dragon Soul’s instruction, he repeated the Draconic sentence.
Next second, a powerful attraction force dragged him inside the reddish tile!
“Woosh!”
Marvin disappeared.
The blue light kept shining in the space.
At that time, the Dragon Soul’s figure shrunk and condensed into a complete Dragon.
And the form was shockingly the same as the statue Marvin and Butterfly saw.
…
Deep Blue.
When Marvin opened his eyes, the main color of the 2nd floor was reflected in his eyes.
This area was clearly a lot brighter than the 1st floor. He appeared in a narrow hallway and both sides of the hallway seemed to be transparent.
A deep blue sea seemed to be surrounding the transparent tunnel.
Marvin could faintly see a flame flickering at the end of the tunnel.
‘This is the Azure Hallway.’
Marvin recalled the map of the 2nd floor explained by the Dragon Soul.
After reaching the end of the hallway, he saw a familiar silhouette.
It was actually Butterfly!
Marvin thought to himself that meeting twice after being randomly teleported was too much of a coincidence.
But Butterfly wasn’t looking very good.
She was looking at a portrait on the stone wall before turning to glance at Marvin with a complicated expression:
“I regret.”
Chapter 468: Twin Planes
Chapter 468: Twin Planes
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
“Regret?”
“Regretting what? What happened?” Marvin asked, baffled.
Butterfly’s expression was very unsightly.
This was unprecedented. From what he had seen of her, this Wood Elf always looked simple-minded and would remain indifferent regardless of what happened.
Could something very unpleasant have occurred?
But Butterfly didn’t answer and only said to herself, “I regret…”
Shortly after, her expression changed and turned vengeful. “That Copper Dragon is too treacherous. He clearly knew about my extreme curiosity and still used that kind of mystifying trick!”
“I have to sort him out!”
Marvin was startled.
He had already gotten used to Butterfly regularly saying weird things, but an Elf who hadn’t even reached 3rd rank wanting to deal with a Copper Dragon, wouldn’t that be difficult?
Actually, Marvin was just being nice, how could that be only difficult? That was clearly impossible!
“Professor? What’s wrong with him? Why is it getting more confusing?” Marvin asked, concerned.
Butterfly still looked upset.
She finally focused on Marvin and said with complicated expression, “I finally understand why you gave me such a strange feeling.”
“That damn guy, he casually left his thing to someone else…”
“What’s good about a kid like you? Fierce and greedy and only thinking about schemes, such a fool.”
She rolled her eyes while scolding Marvin as she gently stretched her hands out, trying to touch Marvin’s face.
Her expression became a lot gentler.
This movement startled Marvin.
‘Is she possessed?’
‘What the hell is she talking about?’
Marvin took a step back and called to her, “Hey! I’m not that kind of guy. Miss Butterfly, what happened to you?”
Butterfly froze before mumbling with a sense of loss, “Yeah, you aren’t him.”
She sighed, looking disappointed and frustrated.
For some reason, this expression made Marvin extremely pained.
It gave the same feeling as when Eric disappeared while saying that he missed that girl…
That kind of silent sadness was enough to dampen one’s mood.
By the time Marvin recovered, Butterfly was already leaving.
But the way she left this time shocked Marvin even more.
She casually opened a Teleportation Door!
“Hey! We are in the underground temple…”
Marvin wanted to remind her that this place’s spatial field was very chaotic and that opening a Teleportation Door might send the user to a random part of the Universe.
But the next second, a nice forest atmosphere spread out from the Teleportation Door.
Thousand Leaves Forest.
“Sorry. I can’t take you to the Supreme Jungle.”
Before Marvin could react, Butterfly continued, “But I believe that the wretched Copper Dragon will take you there.”
“I have to go. Maybe we will meet again in the future.”
“Don’t waste his power.”
After saying these confusing words, Butterfly stepped into the Teleportation Door. The door disappeared right away.
Marvin looked stunned.
What level of strength would one need to be able to open a Teleportation in such a frightening place?
Legend Wizard?
Surely ordinary Legend Wizards simply wouldn’t be able to?
This was the tomb of the Dragon God, it had powerful Divine Power restraining it and no one would dare act recklessly in here.
But Butterfly… actually walked in so confidently.
Marvin was too lazy to even bother cursing her…‘What do you mean you can’t take me to the Supreme Jungle? Isn’t it a driver’s responsibility to take the passenger to their destination? You led me to the Lumber Woods from Steel City, right into a war between Metallic Dragons and Chromatic Dragons.’
