Chapter 953 - 718 How Did They Get In!_2
At this moment, Ai Lin also took out a similar half-book, which Lou Aran snatched into his possession as well. In terms of research on Giant magic, Lou Aran was far more advanced than Adaman. He could tell at a glance that this was a tome of magic written by the Giants themselves!
In the current Plane, much of the Giants’ magic almost entirely came from speculation about the Ancients. Yet now a tome of the Giants’ magic had appeared!
Adaman and Lou Aran exchanged glances, or rather, each was staring at the book in the other’s hands.
Almost in that moment, the eyes of both were filled with murderous intent. As ancient Powerhouses, no one understood the significance of such an item better than they did.
The book was divided into two parts, held respectively by Long Yi and Ai Lin. It was obvious that the two had fought over this tome, and, as a result, it had been split into two halves, with each obtaining a piece.
"Where did you find this book?" Adaman asked Long Yi.
"Are you going to tell me where you got that warhammer from?" Long Yi countered.
"Yes, right here," Adaman said.
"Alright, I’ll tell you too. This book was on an uninhabited, desolate planet," Long Yi revealed.
"Be more specific," Adaman said with a frown.
"You be more specific," Long Yi still countered.
A tremor flickered at the corner of Adaman’s mouth. It had been years since he had encountered someone who dared to speak to him this way. He suppressed his fury and pointed to the tower ahead.
"That is the entrance to the legacy. Go down from there, through a labyrinth guarded by many layers, and you will find the place where the legacy is kept."
Long Yi nodded and then said, "The small planet I mentioned has exploded, so this is the last of the legacy. Besides, I found this legacy, and I plan to give it to Emperor Saint Danze, not you. Can we be adults and return other people’s property to them?"
At this time, Adaman was clutching the half-book in his hand tightly, looking at Long Yi and sneered coldly, "Just because you found it, does it mean it’s yours? Can you even understand the language of the Giants?"
Long Yi just laughed, "Yep, not only can I understand it, but I can also recite it from memory."
With that, Long Yi spoke a string of the Giants’ language, deliberately using a very stiff pronunciation, and the actual content was something akin to "Adaman, you great fool."
However, Adaman was startled. Since the Giants had departed, fewer and fewer people were familiar with their language. Legend had it that the language itself carried power, and studying and learning it required a tremendous amount of mental and Mana exertion. And this Long Yi could do it?
"Are you bluffing me?" Adaman still didn’t believe it.
Long Yi smiled briefly and shook his head, turning to Emperor Saint Danze, who was pulling a sour face, "It’s fine. I’ve already committed the entire contents of the book, including the latter part, to memory. I just felt the book itself looked rather nice. You were thinking of collecting it, weren’t you? That fellow wants it, so let him have it. We’ll write our own copy later!"
With these words, Emperor Saint Danze suddenly brightened up. But seeing Adaman’s face turning dark, he dared not show too much pleasure, so his expression was caught somewhere between happy and not happy.
Adaman felt he was truly on the verge of erupting. He really wanted to strike at Long Yi with lightning speed, to detain and torture him harshly, forcing him to spill every secret he knew. But when he lifted his head, he saw that Lou Aran had actually returned the book to Ai Lin! Clearly, Lou Aran was planning to form an alliance with Ai Lin!
"This old fox!" Adaman cursed inwardly. If he struck at Long Yi now, Lou Aran was very likely to help Long Yi. And although Ai Lin was hostile towards Long Yi, she might side with Lou Aran against him. A single Lou Aran was a match for him, and with the addition of Long Yi and Ai Lin, whose true strengths were uncertain, Adaman truly didn’t believe he could gain any advantage.
Hence, Adaman said nothing and simply threw the half-book onto the ground. Emperor Saint Danze immediately scurried over and gratefully stashed it into his personal space.
"Ha ha, actually I was tricking you! You believe that too!"
Long Yi suddenly burst into laughter.
Adaman, as if he hadn’t heard, continued walking forward. He vowed silently that whatever Long Yi said or did next, he would no longer pay him any mind. His purpose for coming here was very clear, to obtain the mightiest legacy! Once he secured the mightiest legacy, what would this matter? The moment he had the mightiest legacy, Adaman swore he would immediately capture Long Yi, subject him to his most terrifying torture, and have this scoundrel confess everything he knew!
Meanwhile, Lou Aran harbored different thoughts; he decided to lure Ai Lin into serving him. Although he did not know who her mentor was, the value of such a strong and young girl was far greater than the losses from any disciple he had! As for whether Ai Lin was amenable to his overtures, Lou Aran had no worries at all. In his view, a girl as strong yet as young as Ai Lin, even if she was willful, had a simple mind!
As the party advanced, they finally arrived in front of the tower. The slender tower, which looked delicate from afar, was actually magnificent. The enormous metallic structure stood towering, bringing waves of pressure to those around.
"The entrance to the legacy lies ahead. There will be another round of Light Cannon attacks soon, and I will block them at the front while you all follow," Adaman informed Emperor Saint Danze behind him. Saint Danze, gazing at the vast metallic structure, saw no apparent entrance at its base, but if Adaman said there was one, then there must be. On the other side, Lou Aran said the same to Saint Jialin.
