Jenn had goosebumps all over his body. Ever since he reincarnated into this world, this was the first time Jenn felt such deep fear.
"Close it. Seal it, Enoya!"
"Yes, Master."
Sensing the change in Jenn's expression, Enoya hurriedly stretched out her hand. Shortly after, the blood on it coagulated.
Shortly after, the metal box was sealed shut once again.
"I didn't expect to get my hands on this thing …"
Looking at the iron box in front of him, Zayen muttered to himself, still in a state of shock.
It was no wonder that Jenn would be so terrified. The Fate Slate was the most powerful holy artifact at the beginning of the world's creation. Rumor had it that the first generation of gods recorded the rules of this world on the Fate Slate and created the entire Klein Continent. Of course, in Jenn's words, it was a bunch of setting maniacs who added detailed settings about the continent's power system, races, and other aspects into a blank diary according to their preferences.
And after this setting was completed, the Klein Continent was born.
And the Fate Slate was this collection of settings.
There were many rumors about the Fate Slate. It was said that the person who held it could change or even add to the rules of this world. There were also rumors that the Fate Slate recorded the secrets of the past, present, and future of all living beings in this world. But these were all untrue rumors.
But no matter what, it was a holy artifact of creation, so it was no wonder that there were so many guesses and associations around it.
However, Jenn didn't sense any powerful energy from the slate. Perhaps it was because it was just a fragment. Although it had ancient and mysterious waves, it was just that.
As for the language on it, Zayen naturally could not understand it. This was the most ancient language at the beginning of the world's creation. It would take a lot of magic just to interpret each word, because they embodied the essence of the world. It could be said that if one did not have great wisdom or power like the gods, it was best to stay away from this thing as soon as possible.
In fact, Jenn only glanced at it briefly and felt dizzy. It was as if a pair of invisible hands had forcefully poured the knowledge of a library into his brain.
That was why Jenn asked Enoya to seal the Fate Slate again. Otherwise, if he looked at it a few more times, his head would probably explode.
But … How strange …
Shaking his head, Zayen finally recovered from his previous drowsy state. Then, he quickly realized that something was wrong.
Previously, he guessed that the thing in the metal box was definitely not ordinary, but Jenn didn't expect it to be the Fate Slate. This was a holy artifact of creation!
Logically, shouldn't this thing be placed in the Sanctuary of All Beings, the most secret place in the Sanctuary of the Church and guarded by hundreds of angels?
Or perhaps, directly sending it to the Kingdom of Sky, Sinapos, would be the right way.
Judging from Enoya's description, it wasn't like the Church of Holy didn't know where the Fate Slate was. Why did they keep letting those unknown small families guard these slate fragments?
Could it be that there were some hidden secrets?
Thinking of this, Jenn gritted his teeth and looked at the mutilated corpse that Enoya had torn apart. He cursed inwardly. This damn son of a b * tch didn't learn anything good. If he hadn't been thinking about escaping from the fate of his family all day and stayed to learn knowledge, perhaps Jenn could have gotten more information from his corpse.
But now, it seemed like there was no other way …
"Enoya, in his memory, how many families guard this holy artifact?"
"I'm not very sure, Master."
In response to Jenn's question, Enoya only shook her head.
"I only found out from the depths of his memory that his ancestors were one of these families. As for whether there were other families … I'm not sure.
But from the looks of it, there should be. "
"How troublesome."
Hearing Enoya's answer, Jenn snorted and extended his hand to access the Dungeon system. Then, he started to look through the loot. In the Dungeon system, all the loot would be categorized for the Dungeon Lord to check. Then, the Dungeon Lord would choose whether to equip the loot, sell it, or use it to strengthen the main structure of the Dungeon.
Of course, there would also be an introduction to the loot.
However, some valuable items required Mana to be appraised.
Soon, Zayen found the [Fate Slate] in the [Important Item] column of the spoils of war. As Zayen expected, the picture of this spoils of war was in a gray [Unappraised] state.
Since Zayen could not figure out what the stone slab was for, he should be able to find out if he used the System to appraise it.
Thinking of this, Zayen reached out and clicked on the icon.
[Detecting unappraised item. Do you want to appraise?]
[Confirm appraisal]
[Confirmation completed. Appraising this item will consume 35000000 Mana. Do you want to continue?]
"Gosh!"
Seeing this message, Zayen almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
How many zeros were there?
A hundred million … a total of 35 million Mana!
Currently, the upper limit of Zayen's Dungeon's Mana Points was only a little more than 15 million, and appraising this thing required 35 million Mana Points. Zayen immediately gave up on the idea of continuing the appraisal.
After the appraisal, the Dungeon's Mana would be overloaded.
It would be fine if it was one or two million, but it was 20 million. Even with Jenn's Dungeon, it would take half a year to recover.
During this period, all the combat units and Magical Equipment that were supported by Mana would be rendered useless. Even the [Eternal Night Canopy] would be ineffective.
After some consideration, Jenn gave up on the idea of appraising the Fate Slate.
After the Dungeon's level increased, the maximum Mana would increase. After two more levels, he would be able to accumulate enough Mana to appraise the Fate Slate.
Of course, before that, Zayen could also search for the introduction and related knowledge about the Fate Slate to see if there were any clues.
He couldn't be ignorant about the Fate Slate. Otherwise, it would be too late to remedy any problems.
"Enoya, get Elyse here. We have to change our plans.
Inform Picas to make a trip to Gale City. I want her and the Goblins to dig a small Dungeon under Gale City and place the Fate Slate in it.
At the same time, inform the Dark Elves and the Nagas that it's time for them to take revenge on the surface.
Let them, Elyse, and Sophina attack the other cities and take down all of them. "
Enoya nodded at Jenn's order.
She understood Zayen's thoughts very well. Such a sacred object of creation was not something that could be easily taken away.
To be honest, Zayen would rather not have this thing in his hands, but unfortunately, there were many things that he could not do as he pleased.
He couldn't hand the Fate Slate to the Temple of Light as they were his natural enemies. Besides, the Templar Order needed the Fate Slate. Who knew if they were going to use it against him?
If he handed it over just like that, he would be a fool.
But Jenn wouldn't be willing to give it to a demon king in the underworld. Those demon kings were greedy and they might suspect that Jenn was hiding other Fate Slates. If they targeted him because of this, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
Therefore, Jenn could only leave this hot potato here for the time being. But fortunately, the expansion of the Dungeon was within his plans.
He could use this opportunity to build another "sub-base" under Gale City and place the Fate Slate in it. This way, not only could he ensure that the Fate Slate was in his hands, but he also wouldn't have to worry about any harm to Jenn's Dungeon.
Originally, Zayen hoped to take things slow and steady and gradually expand with the wilderness as the center, but after obtaining the Fate Slate, he had no choice but to change his plan.
After all, this thing was much more important than the Ten-Towns Alliance. That was why he planned to build a Fortress here in advance.
As for the Dark Elves, Nagas, and Half-Vampires, it was about time for them to come out and exercise.
With the [Eternal Canopy of Darkness] as a cover, the sunlight couldn't harm them. To the Underworld, this place was no different from the underground world.
Moreover, it was imperative to plunder the surface. Although the Underdark had almost all chosen to surrender to Zayen's power, Zayen knew very well that if the Underdark did not reap any benefits, they would definitely not be willing to work for him.
Now that there was such a good opportunity to plunder, kill, and plunder, he wanted to let his allies enjoy it. This was the only way to tie them firmly to his war chariot.
Moreover, the appearance of the Underworld would also divert the attention of the Holy Church and other factions, lest they found Jenn.
"I understand, Master. I'll get on it immediately … Hmm?"
Enoya was taken aback. She tilted her head and revealed an enigmatic smile. Then, she turned to Jenn.
"Master, there's news from Alice … We have guests."
"Who are they?"
"Bishop Howard … and a group of Holy Knights."
"Oh?"
Jenn was taken aback.
He had just obtained the Fate Slate, so why did the Holy Church suddenly come knocking on his door?
Could it be that his identity had been exposed just now?
