When Gentle Snow disconnected the call, Shi Feng also heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not found.
If Gentle Snow found out that Shi Feng was the creator of the Garrison Armor, dire consequences might occur. Also, Shi Feng did not doubt the possibility of Gentle Snow using such a powerful approach.
The Snow Goddess was not an empty title. His fist method had many experts tied up with tongues. Otherwise, he would not be able to take care of so many experts.
However, Shi Feng discovered an interesting problem from Gentle Snow's words.
Many Guilds in White River City had already begun to attach great importance to the Garrison Armor. This meant that the reputation of the Garrison Armor was already spread. Right now, the popularity of the Garrison Armor might have reached its peak. It was a great opportunity for Shi Feng to sell the Garrison Armor in bulk, making a fortune. After another period passed, the value of the Garrison Armor would not be as great as it is now.
“Let's see Epic Quest, then I'll go back to making Garrison Armors.” Shi Feng impatiently wanted to re-create the Garrison Armors now that the opportunity for him to make a fortune had arrived. However, the current Epic Quest before him was much more important. If he were to hand it over in part, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
This Epic Quest played a huge role in allowing Fantasy Extinguisher legendary achievements. Naturally, Shi Feng would not let go of this fortuitous encounter. After spending twenty minutes manoeuvring along the narrow path in the slums, Shi Feng finally arrived at the Library.
On the way here, Shi Feng discovered the miracle of having a heavenly Official walk by his side in the slums. The NPCs who intended to rob him all retreated after seeing Sharlyn's clothes. Otherwise, Shi Feng would have to spend over an hour on this trip, constantly battling against this sewer rat. Moreover, these NPCs were really poor. Shi Feng would not earn any reward for killing these NPCs, not even EXP. The Red Leaf Town Library had a withered appearance. The building had only two floors to it, and no one was present to manage it as the dead leaves were seen climbing the wall.
Entering the Library, dust and dirt covered the entire building. The books placed on the wooden table had long since been wrapped by a layer of dust. Libraries are more like haunted houses than places where people once lived.
"Apardon. It's been a long time since someone visited, so I haven't tidied up the place. Just sit wherever you want," Sharlyn faintly smiled as she pointed to a chair covered in dust, not understanding that her actions were so inappropriate.
"Dear heavenly official, I came here because I want this diary translated," Shi Feng said, heading straight for the subject. His brows furrowed slightly as he looked towards the layer of finger-thick dust covering the chair. He really did not want to dirty his clothes.
However, Sharlyn still took care of her own business as she searched for something on the bookshelf. It seemed that he did not hear Shi Feng speak at all.
Shi Feng had long since gotten used to such behavior, so he chose to remain silent. There were all sorts of NPCs in Gods Domain. That was especially true for important NPCs. Unique and strange behavior is considered small things. There were famous NPCs who were much more damned. These NPCs had caused many first-rate Guilds to curse their mothers.
After waiting a full ten minutes, Sharlyn finally came out of the stack of bookshelves. In his hand, he held a thick and tattered old book.
"I know why you're here. When you set foot in the slums, I can feel the evil energy coming from your body" Sharlyn said seriously. He placed the tattered book on the table, causing all the dust in the building to suddenly soar, "Let me see the item."
Shi Feng naturally knew such a scenario was triggered by the diary. He took out a tattered diary from his bag, carefully handing it over to Sharlyn. Sharlyn was in no hurry to receive the diary. Instead, he shouted the phrase Heavenly Words. Suddenly, a streak of golden heavenly Words wrapped around the diary.
Just when Shi Feng was wondering about Sharlyn's actions, a change suddenly appeared in the diary. Black smoke suddenly appeared on its pitch-black cover, and a sinister-looking face appeared. It seemed like it was under tremendous pain.
Sharlyn shouted, her jade-like hand drawing Divine Words in midair. At the same time, he began to sing a Tier 3 heavenly Curse, his voice echoing throughout the Library. A golden-coloured hexagram appeared above the Library, covering the entire building, and from the magic formation, three golden Judgment Spears flew out. The spear pierced through the diary, tearing that evil face apart. "Hahaha, I won't give up! We'll meet again!" The sinister face laughed out loud as it said frightening words. His two eyes were firmly attached to Shi Feng, as if those words were spoken for him.
Within moments, the black smoke above the diary dispersed. Meanwhile, Sharlyn's forehead was filled with sweat. His skin was deathly pale, and he currently looked extremely weak.
System: You have been cursed by the Great Satan [1]. All Attributes were reduced by 50%, the experience received from killing monsters was reduced by 95%.
System: You have been watched by the Great Satan. The Great Demon Ghost will come for you in thirty days. If you are killed by a ghost, your body will be taken over by the Great Demon.
"Damn! Make it more cruel, why not?" Regardless of how restraining he was, Shi Feng could not help but curse when he saw this notice. When compared to human standards, Great Demons were equivalent to Tier 4 Jobs. It was on the same level as the Sword Emperor. Even though it was only a ghost, it still needed Sharlyn, who had a Tier 3 Job, to handle it. However, instead of aiming for Sharlyn, the Great Demon actually went for spectators and small characters like Shi Feng.
With this curse, how could he level up? Not to mention the 50% reduction in Attributes. It had caused his Attributes to sink to the level of an average player. It would be a problem if he wanted to kill monsters of a higher level. He also had to face the ghost of the Great Demon …
"Miss Sharlyn, are you okay?" even though he was cursed, Shi Feng still spoke politely.
Sharlyn shook her head slightly, speaking with a smile, "Nothing is too bad. I never imagined that you would actually carry such a frightening item. You have weakened me a little. However, the matter has been resolved now.During for a few more days, your body may have been possessed by the Great Satan, and your body will suffer in Hell for good.
"Thank you, Miss Sharlyn. If it wasn't for you, I might be dead." Although Sharlyn's words felt somewhat wrong, Shi Feng still thanked her. He rejoiced at the fact that he came to the Library without delay. Otherwise, he would be completely finished. However, the current issue remains unresolved.
"No need to thank you. This diary is not as simple as it seems. That's the key. Inside it recorded the method to open the curse on the gate. Your task now is to find this gate, enter through it with this diary, and find the Bible of Darkness stored within it. I can destroy the Bible of Darkness as long as you take it for me. Once destroyed, the Great Demon would not be able to descend, " Sharlyn explained.
System: Epic Quest "Darkness Descends" accepted. Find and destroy the Bible of Darkness and prevent the Great Satan from descending. The prize is unknown.
Although Shi Feng knew about the extreme difficulty of completing an Epic Quest, there was still no need to be so damned! At the very least, Quest had to tell him where to find the Bible of Darkness!
In Shi Fengs previous life, Fantasy Extinguisher had completed this Quest in Black Dragon Empire. However, Shi Feng could not go to the Black Dragon Empire. Even if he went there, the Teleportation Gates had not been activated at this stage of the game, so he had to run there. However, even if he ran until his leg was broken, he would still need to waste a few months before he could reach the border of the Black Dragon Empire.
TL Note:
[1] Great Demon: this is a rank for Demons (not monsters). This will be further clarified in future chapters when Satan is better introduced.
