Free Web NovelChapter 284: Chapter 171: As If Entering Unmanned Territory (Part 2)
The restricted area of the Divine Hall of Fortune was unguarded.
Even the outermost Restriction was just a thin layer, one that merely prohibited entry.
Unlike other Churches, which would have eagerly stacked a hundred thick layers of Restrictions on their doors.
Inside the Forbidden Hall, books and Scrolls were laid out, along with some peculiar trinkets.
Rings, Pendants, brilliantly colored gems, and the like.
No special Restrictions were placed on these items. Only a line of text, written in the common tongue, was engraved upon the incredibly expensive-looking table.
"What fortune lets you find, fortune lets you keep."
Oh~
’So that means as long as I can carry it away, it’s all mine, right?’
’I should probably leave the books where they are.’
Lu Cang directed Leng Qingying to copy the books.
As for everything else, he had her pack it all up to take with them.
...
After visiting the Lucky Church, they went to the Cold Church.
This was a Church that worshipped Shanna of Storage and Cold, and its Forbidden Hall was just as intensely cold.
Leng Qingying put on cold-resistant clothes, which would keep her Illusion from dissipating.
An Illusion will dissipate after taking a certain amount of damage.
Of course, there was basically no loss if an Illusion died; a new one could be summoned immediately.
A Longbow that radiated a piercing chill.
There were also many storage items: bracelets, Rings...
These storage items had enormous capacity. Moreover, items stored inside were preserved with an Effect that nearly stopped Time.
’Truly excellent items.’
There was also a bracelet that could store other storage items, and its Space was much larger than the one he currently had.
There was no shortage of good things, and he took everything he deemed worthy.
As for the things that weren’t as valuable as a Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demon and weren’t particularly novel, Lu Cang left them behind.
The last stop: the Peace Church.
Peaceful and Peaceful Pegga is the Moon of the eighth month.
Lu Cang had already scouted their Forbidden Hall with his Perception. There were only five white-covered books—no equipment or Weapons.
The five books held a Secret.
The contents of all five books were needed to completely decipher it.
Leng Qingying went inside.
She copied the contents of all five books.
...
Back at the inn.
In just one afternoon, the group had gone through all the major Churches.
The treasures inside the inn were already piled up like a small mountain.
"From the Dark Church: Assassination Skill, Shadow Combat Skill, Dark Magic, the Dark Forbidden Technique·Realm of Great Darkness and Unconsciousness, a pair of Daggers, the Cloak of Shadow Fusion, a Doomsday Crystal, and the Yuan Mo Chugu."
"From the Light Church: the Backlight Boots, the Majestic Armor of Light, the Banner of Radiant Victory, the Purifying Staff of Supreme Light, a Supreme Light Crystal, the Holy Light-slaying Sword, and an Angel Light Feather."
"From the Cold Church: the Forbidden Technique: Ice Calamity, Ice Magic, professional books on Storage Science, the Eternal Frost Bow, the Bone-Freezing Body-Piercing Battle Spear, the Cold Fresh Ice Chef’s Knife, cooking recipes for frozen ingredients, and various spatial storage items."
"From the Lucky Church: all sorts of accessories, and some Rituals that are supposed to bring good luck."
"From the Peace Church... *Peaceful Development and Outlook*, volumes one through five."
’The haul was pretty substantial, I guess.’
It was just that after the Cold Church, the purpose of the items they brought back grew increasingly unclear.
This was especially true for the accessories from the Lucky Church.
Iz knew a thing or two about appraisal and was considered quite knowledgeable, but she truly couldn’t identify what Effects these accessories had.
’Or were they just ordinary accessories?’ freewebnovel.cσ๓
But amidst their ordinariness, they felt like they weren’t that simple. This feeling, however, was purely Intuition, with no other way to prove it.
As for the books and scrolls, they recorded certain Rituals that could potentially improve one’s luck.
They were less like Rituals and more like prayers.
The books didn’t even say they were guaranteed to work.
As for the five books from the Peace Church, Iz had already read them all completely.
They were purely ideological viewpoints, with nothing special about them. freewebnσvel.cøm
The most bountiful harvests from this trip came from the Light Church and the Dark Church.
Followed by the Cold Church.
Iz spoke up. "I’ve already looked through these things. Not many of them are unreadable taboos, so you all can learn from them."
"I also did some investigating. The storage place for Ruijia’s Forbidden Books is located deep underground within the Imperial Palace."
"We can dig our way there from underground, but we might encounter Restrictions set up along the way... Lu Cang, can you handle them?"
Lu Cang nodded slightly. "Mm, it won’t be a problem."
"Alright, then let’s move out now."
"It won’t be too late to study these things slowly after the dust has settled."
After briefly regrouping, the three of them didn’t rest for long before arriving at the outskirts of Sel City.
The outermost ring of Sel City was enveloped by a layer of Restriction that covered the entire city.
This was the City Defense Array.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be triggered.
Lu Cang’s mind touched the Grand Array. He had already secretly opened a backdoor for himself, and in the process, he also grasped the layout of the Grand Array that protected the entire city...
’What a complex Restriction. A Grand Array focused on slaughter, which needs to be broken from the inside. At the very least, it would require a Level 6 Array Master or a Level 6 Decryption Scholar with the corresponding knowledge to break it.’
They reached a deserted forest outside the city.
The earth and stone beneath their feet vanished, instantly forming a hole. Lu Cang and the others walked into it, and though Iz was not seen making any movements, the soil before them parted on its own.
Lu Cang had the *Eternal Lamp of Vision* Magic.
Leng Qingying had Dark Vision, and as for Iz, there was even less need to worry.
The three of them did not light any source of light.
They advanced just like that, the soil ahead parting as the soil behind them filled in automatically.
