Chapter 182 The Book of Eibon (2/2)

Putting the golden roasted meat into his mouth, he could also sense that the fat on the meat was not greasy at all. It was fresh and delicious. However, after tasting the roasted meat for a brief moment, the warrior had noticed that something was not right.

Ying, Ling, and, 03 sat in their own seats, next to him. They were smiling as they looked at him. However, none of them had lifted the forks and knives on the table to enjoy their food.

That was certain as the two Divine Armaments did not need to consume food at all. Meanwhile, 03 was a magical projection. Her true body was the runic core, which only needed to draw the magic energy of the surroundings in order to function. Hence, she did not require food as well.

That made the situation a little awkward. Being looked at by three of his people as he ate, even Joshua felt a little uncomfortable about it. However, he was a big-hearted man after all. Although he felt that the situation was not quite right, he could still finish the entire roasted pork, leaving only the bones behind, nothing else.

The food intake of a Gold-Tier warrior depended on how much they wanted to eat. If the energy was not really completely saturated, he could swiftly digest all of the food supplies to provide his initially energized body and also store the energy for future use.

In any case, this slightly strange spring gathering was finally over. Ling and the other lady servants were clearing the plates off the table and started picking up the dining tableware. In the meantime, Joshua took out his notebook and roughly looked at his planner. After that, he slightly nodded and muttered to himself, ”Yesterday, the auction back in the Imperial City has ended. If nothing goes wrong, Alphonso should have made the purchase of the evil items that got Fort Ares destroyed by now. He should have sent it to me through teleportation by now.”

Putting his thoughts on that, Joshua could not help but let out a sigh.”Compared to annihilating the Dark Tide and sealing off the dimensional rifts, this is probably the easiest time to protect the world. Saving fifty thousand to sixty thousand people can be so easy as well. This is so unreal though.”

”Master, do you have something to get? I can get it for you!” The silver-haired young girl sitting aside stood up and spoke to Joshua full of enthusiasm. Although she did not understand what did Joshua meant by some sort of evil item that got some sort of fortress destroyed, however, she knew that it was something important that Joshua would want to do it.

”I'm counting on you.”

Ying was willing to help. So Joshua felt that he had no reason to hammer her enthusiasm. He just nodded and let her go do her thing.

For the noblemen who had some assets in their family, they would be equipped with a communication circle and a teleportation circle that can send small items, messages, and storage crystals. A while ago, the North still had numerous dimensional rifts to cause distortions in time and space. Because of that, they could not build normal teleportation circles in the North. However, with the aid of Nostradamus, the dream of having teleportation circles across the lands of the North was almost complete.

This type of teleportation circle that were used to teleport small objects under ten kilograms would generally require only a single mini-scale teleportation circle in order for the teleportation to run smoothly. If runes could be optimized into it, people would be able to teleport things continuously. Speaking of all that, this had not yet considered the presence of magic energy being much denser than the other places. Under all those circumstances, teleportation processes would become much easier to operate.

03 was sitting by the side, looking at the master and his servants interacting with each other. She blinked her blue eyes for a bit and smiled gently. After that, she switched off her projection function and stayed inside of the runic core that was placed in the cart all alone. The radiance of the magic power was flashing on. It seemed that the A.I was having some thoughts.

Not long after, Ying returned with a book in her hand.

”So it is a book. It's not some sort of tetragonal trapezohedron or a silver key.”

Joshua looked at the book that looked ordinary and yet with a strange presence that only beings like Joshua who possessed the power of Order could sense it. The warrior slightly nodded his head and said, ”According to the information from the previous life, this should be called the Book of Eibon, right? It does seem a little odd.”

After all, this was the evil spellbook that was carrying the possibility of destroying an entire fortress and caused the event [Fall of Ares]. Upon thinking about those gigantic dhole worms that had the power level of an Upper Gold tier beings that had attained the pinnacle of the Gold tier, the warrior could not help but feel a little excited. He stood up and he was ready to take the book from Ying.

However, something strange had happened.

Before Joshua could approach Ying, along with Ying's surprised voice, that book that seemed to be made of goatskin or ape skin actually shook on its own. After that, it broke away from the hands of the girl and fell onto the floor.
