Chapter 372: I Have a Key!
Chapter 372: I Have a Key!
Toby brought Edessa and Joelson to his room.
He also set up more than ten layers of isolation magic arrays in the room, so that the outside world could not find out what was going on inside.
Joelson’s eyes revealed a hint of confusion, but he vaguely guessed what Toby was going to give him.
Toby and Edessa both looked at him seriously. Toby said solemnly, “The news that the man in the tavern said is true! Those three streaks of light are indeed the keys to the sovereign’s inheritance!”
Joelson’s pupils constricted slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
It was impossible for him to say that he didn’t want the sovereign’s inheritance.
No one would be unmoved by the sovereign’s inheritance. Even the current God of Slaughter would covet it.
After all, everyone’s comprehension of the laws was different.
“But rather than saying it’s a key, it’s more like a qualification,” Toby added.
Joelson was stunned for a moment. puzzled, he asked, “Qualification?”
“That’s right. Qualification. There are three keys, but there’s only one sovereign’s legacy. Those without a key don’t even have the right to enter the final test. Those who obtain the key can enter the final test. Those who pass the final trial will receive the entire legacy of the previous God of Slaughter!”
Toby said with a serious tone. He looked at Joelson with a serious look and then looked around the room.
He lowered his voice and said, “One of the three keys is in my hands! I’m talking about the information I got from the keys!”
Joelson raised his eyebrows, but he was not too surprised.
He had a rough guess.
“I was chased by the people of the Slaughter Divine Kingdom because of the key.”
Toby looked directly at Joelson and said with gratitude and regret, “Joelson, you saved my and Edessa’s lives, so I’ll give you this key!”
As he said that, Toby took out a round object from his interspatial ring. It was completely black, like a discus, but the material was very strange. It did not look like metal or stone, and it was also not wood.
The discus-like key had some blood-red patterns engraved on it. It gave off a lustrous glow, but no one knew what it was.
Joelson observed the key, then calmly looked at Toby and said, “Toby, I saved you only because I have a grudge against the people of Slaughter Divine Kingdom. You don’t have to give me the sovereign’s inheritance.”
Toby’s gaze was somewhat puzzled, as if he thought he had heard wrong. Edessa also slightly opened her small mouth, somewhat stunned. She couldn’t believe her ears.
Joelson didn’t want it?
This was the sovereign’s inheritance!
If the news were to leak out, who knew how many experts would come after them. The people of the Slaughter Divine Kingdom was the best example.
But now that they had given the key to Joelson, Joelson was actually able to resist the temptation?
Toby’s eyes widened, staring at Joelson in disbelief. He asked doubtfully, “Joelson, this is the sovereign’s inheritance!”
Joelson shook his head and said, “This is an opportunity that belongs to all of you. I don’t want to snatch it. Besides, don’t we still have two keys?”
Hearing this, Toby sighed and said, “Joelson, if that’s the case, you don’t have to decline. I know my own strength. Even if I have the key, it’s impossible for me to obtain the final inheritance. Perhaps because of the key, others will be greedy for it, causing me to die inside. Rather than benefiting others, I might as well give it to you.”
“Why don’t you let your clan send even more powerful experts to help you acquire the Legacy?”
Joelson asked. He remembered that Toby’s clan was a large clan in the Plane of Slaughter.
Toby shook his head. “Within the tomb of the sovereign, there is a formation set up by the previous God of Slaughter. At most, it can only allow peak demigod experts to enter. Upon reaching the god level, they already have their own paths and are unable to accept the legacy of others. Thus, only young geniuses at the demigod level have the chance to acquire the legacy.”
Toby looked at Joelson seriously, once again, he solemnly said, “Joelson, giving you the key isn’t only beneficial to you. If it were to stay with me, I’m afraid it would lead to even more pursuits. With my strength, there’s no way I can keep the key. Even if I can enter the tomb of the sovereign, it’s impossible for me to survive to the end.”
“On the contrary, it might bring even greater disaster to my family. But you are different. Even in the Plane of Slaughter, I’ve never seen a genius comparable to you. Moreover, you don’t have any qualms in the Plane of Slaughter. You can go all out to fight for the final inheritance!”
As if worried that Joelson would refuse, Edessa added, “I believe that Father will also agree with our decision!”
Looking at the sincere gazes of the two, Joelson pondered for a moment.
He naturally wanted the sovereign’s inheritance. Previously, he had rejected it because of his interactions with the two over the past few days, which had allowed his relationship with them to be quite good. He didn’t want to snatch their opportunities. After all, there were still two keys… with his strength, he would definitely be able to obtain the other two keys.
But since Toby and Edessa had already said so, he naturally had no reason to reject them.
In the end, Joelson nodded slightly, agreeing to their proposal.
Edessa saw that Joelson had agreed, and revealed a look of delight.
Toby also secretly let out a sigh of relief. He had truly not thought things through when he had snatched the key. He had been blinded by the temptation of the sovereign’s inheritance.
Afterward, he carefully thought about it. The key was on him, and it was far too dangerous for him and his clan.
Only the Slaughter Divine Kingdom and the four great empires had the power to protect the key.
“I’ll give you the key now. It contains some information regarding the sovereign’s legacy. You can take a look. It will be of help to you in your fight for the final legacy.”
As Toby spoke, he handed the round key in his hand to Joelson.
Joelson nodded and reached out to take the key.
It felt very strange to the touch. It was a little cold, but it was a little different from the cold of metal products. He didn’t know what material it was made of.
Joelson carefully looked at the blood-red patterns on the key.
The patterns emitted a sparkling light, like a small stream flowing slowly along with the patterns.
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Joelson returned to his room.
Dozens of magic arrays had been set up to ensure that no one would enter.
Joelson entered the space of the ranch.
Originally, Joelson had intended to head directly to the planar teleportation array and leave the Plane of Slaughter to head to the Plane of Destruction.
He wanted to go to Alexander Academy as soon as possible to learn arcane magic.
But now that he had received news of the sovereign’s inheritance, he changed his plan.
He decided to first enter and wait for the sovereign trial to open. After obtaining the sovereign inheritance, he would leave this place.
Right now, the sovereign trial hadn’t opened yet. It was better to stay in the space of the ranch and continue to study the combination of arcane mysteries and forbidden spells.
