Book of Law

Not to mention the characters in the game, in the pitch-black dead of night, even Yang Qizhou felt his scalp tingle.

The sun must not be looked at directly, or a great terror will occur.

This was something the character had experienced firsthand.

The residents of this Windbell Town, however, actually worshipped the sun, which seemed utterly insane from the perspective of a normal person.

"What is the origin of this 'Golden Kingdom', and what is its connection to the Radiant Kingdom?"

"And the divine envoy who walked out from there—he not only claims to be an enforcer of the Court of Truth and a wielder of the sword of order, but he also guides the townspeople to worship the sun that must not be looked at."

"Lawful Good?"

"Chaotic Evil?"

"Damn, this is just too brain-melting."

Yang Qizhou felt a bit muddled. After learning about the Radiant Kingdom and the King of Ancient Gods from Lena, he thought he had begun to piece together the worldview of the Ancient Earth, but now a new faction called the "Golden Kingdom" had appeared, disrupting his original conception.

Better to just keep playing.

Hopefully, the subsequent plot will reveal something about the mysterious "Golden Kingdom."

"You deeply feel that the 'Windbell Town,' with its simple folk customs and hospitality, is full of strangeness, and you decide to find an opportunity to get to the bottom of it."

"You find an inn to stay in temporarily."

"You put on the 'Garment of the Hidden World,' enter a state of concealment, and leave the inn to investigate the town."

"You hear the residents mentioning you, and you listen intently."

"Someone says: 'Finally, another Traveler has come to the town. We must make him break as many laws as possible so that the scent of disorder on him becomes increasingly thick.'"

"Another says: 'I saw that Traveler break thirteen laws, including pushing the door with his left hand, stepping in with his right foot first, and his right hand sliding down when hugging a woman.'"

"Another says: 'I saw that Traveler break seven laws, including...'"

"Another says:..."

"Finally, someone says: 'As long as the Traveler breaks ninety-nine laws, he will become the most delicious creature of disorder. Devouring his flesh, torturing his soul, and polluting his spirit will allow everyone to draw closer to the Court of Truth and receive the favor of the divine envoy.'"

"Your scalp tingles as you realize these people are discussing how to divide and eat you, and the process of warm hospitality is merely them adding seasoning while cooking a meal."

"You see the shadows of the 'Windbell Town' residents shifting, twisting, terrifying, and indescribable; perhaps they are merely monsters wearing human skin."

"You suppress the panic in your heart and walk toward the most prosperous building in 'Windbell Town,' guessing that the divine envoy from the 'Golden Kingdom' is there."

"You see two guards clad in golden mecha; you are in a state of concealment, and they do not discover you."

"You pass through the main entrance and arrive at the long corridor."

"You pass by the dining hall and see two maids enjoying lunch, but their mouths are split open, their teeth are arranged in a spiral shape, and flesh is still hanging between their teeth; the lunch they are enjoying is a human arm."

"You suppress the churning in your stomach and continue upward, seeing many more terrifying scenes along the way."

"You arrive at the very top of the building."

"This is the sanctuary."

"You see a figure composed of sludge and tentacles. It has only one eye, which appears a strange dark gold, surrounded by countless ancient and evil runes. The shape is so bizarre and indescribable that just by looking at it, you feel a sense of vertigo, as if your brain has been filled with paste."

"You quickly avert your gaze, guessing that this is the divine envoy from the Golden Kingdom."

"You also see a golden book, with the divine envoy's tentacles resting upon it, as if it is in the middle of a prayer."

"You are in a state of concealment, and the divine envoy of the Golden Kingdom does not discover you."

"The greed and audacity of an explorer once again take hold of your heart; you set your sights on the 'golden book' and walk over."

"You pick up the [Law Book of Windbell Town]."

Found another good haul.

Yang Qizhou had been feeling sleepy, but he perked up immediately upon seeing the game prompt. When he saw the words "Quasi-Legendary," he even shouted in surprise, drawing angry curses from his neighbors.

It was no wonder he was so excited; the "Garment of the Hidden World" was also a Quasi-Legendary item, and its powerful effects were obvious from the literal description, but it was an "Old Day Item" that came with terrifying negative effects, and it might backfire on the holder at any moment.

But this [Law Book of Windbell Town] was different. It was a "Quasi-Legendary" item that lacked the living characteristic and had no terrifying negative effects; it could be taken out and used at will.

Although Yang Qizhou didn't know the current game progress of other players, there were definitely not many who could obtain a "Quasi-Legendary" item.

In fact, there were likely none.

However, when he saw the words "Cannot be used," his heart felt like it had been doused with cold water, turning icy cold in an instant.

"I've already taken off my pants, and you're telling me I can't have a cold drink today?"

If Yang Qizhou hadn't managed to keep his composure, knowing he really didn't have the money to buy another phone, he would have smashed it to pieces.

"As long as I destroy Windbell Town and slay the divine envoy of the Golden Kingdom, this 'Quasi-Legendary' item can be used. That's not bad... as if."

Yang Qizhou was once again driven to the brink of a breakdown.

Right now, the only things he could bring to the table were two Root-Court Hounds; he couldn't even beat Lena, and he was a character who could be tortured to death by any random mob in the wilderness. Destroying Windbell Town was a goal that would take until the end of time.

Though he was furious enough to jump up and down, there was nothing to be done about the current situation, so he continued the game.

"You have interfered with reality and emerged from your hidden state."

"The divine messenger of the Golden Kingdom has discovered your despicable act of stealing the Book of Law and is enraged by it, prematurely triggering the disordered aura within you."

"You are about to be punished on the level of order."

"You sense your impending death, and with the final thought of grabbing one last haul, you frantically rummage through the Prayer Altar and snatch a gemstone."

"You have obtained the [Stone of Truth]."

"Your waist is severed, your head is chopped off, your neck is strangled, and your heart is pierced."

"You have died."
