When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 387: Chapter 295 Kazim is Excited Chapter 387: Chapter 295 Kazim is Excited Giant Kazim was abnormally excited.

——The aimless search that had been causing him such a headache was finally going to end.

His Royal Highness the Prince had given him a clue as vague as “the place closest to death,” then asked him to find something he had never even laid eyes on before.

He had no idea where to even start looking.

Where exactly is the place closest to death?

Just what does that “Book of Law” look like?

Is it a book, or is it something else?

What does it specifically look like?

Where could it possibly be stored now?

The answer was “I don’t know, but you’re going to find it for me.”
…So what could he do?

On top of that, he had been given a strict command—he must find it.

If he couldn’t find it, there was no need to return——not that, how about give me some more information?

But there was no more information to give.

Because His Royal Highness the Prince also knew nothing, his only clue was still the one given by the Eye Demon.

The Eye Demon possessed the power of the Path of Adaptation, capable of abilities such as Clairvoyance, Perspective Eye, Detecting Invisibility, and Future Prediction that can manipulate information.

However, Prince Wolfram was not a Demon Scholar but a great wizard.

His Eye Demon had not signed a contract with him; it was merely his companion—because the Eye Demon used to be his brother.

In the era when the Supreme Heaven still existed, he had already turned into a demon, dreaded and despised by his own kind.

But now, with the Giants near extinction, that Eye Demon had instead become a fortunate one.

But in Kazim’s view, that Eye Demon might not be reliable.

Although demons retain some memories from their lives…

the moment they become beings of the Path, they are no longer their past selves.

As someone knowledgeable in Demonology, Kazim knew that many people had been killed because they trusted relatives who had fallen and become demons; even their souls had become food for the demons.

However, to Prince Wolfram, perhaps the unreliable one was Kazim.

Kazim was not of the royal Giant bloodline, nor was he a royal court guardian who served the royal family.

Those Giants had long been slain…

Although Kazim was also a pure-blooded Giant, in the past he was just a commoner.

He had escaped the massacre merely because of his luck; and he did not go to the northern Eternal Frost Empire because he still could not control his own rage, and therefore he was not recognized by those former kinsmen who had turned to the Path of Wisdom.

In other words, he was a castaway with no home to return to.

Not just Avalonians, but also Star Antimony and Irisflower People detested Giants.

If he thought about running, he could only run south, cross the sea, and face grinning Trolls and chimpanzees.

He might even get caught by Goblins and sold off.

It was because no place wanted him that Kazim could only follow Prince Wolfram——so he was not a man, but a dog.

If the Giants failed to rebuild their nation, he would just be a homeless stray dog.

If spotted on the streets, he would be beaten to death.

But if the Giants could rebuild their nation, even if they only reclaimed a small piece of land…

not only could he have a home to return to, but he could also gain wealth and honor.

Maybe he could even openly eat humans.

He had no choice.

So with that thought in mind, he followed Prince Wolfram and joined the newly formed Noble Red Society.

It was precisely because of this “I have nowhere to retreat to” extreme mindset that he, as a commoner, could reach the Fifth Power Level——Kazim had now truly become an authentic Demon Incarnation, capable of casting off his physical form to become a demon at any time.

Or rather, his past self had already died long ago.

It’s just that the reborn demon was still using his not yet decayed body to act.

——So Prince Wolfram’s caution was not without reason.

Because if necessary, he could betray Prince Wolfram at any moment.

Demons lack the conscience belonging to humans.

But conversely, precisely for this reason…

Kazim did not trust his own kin.

This kin did not refer to Prince Wolfram, but to his brother, the Eye Demon.

Kazim highly suspected that the so-called “prophecy” it made was a complete lie, with the aim of driving him away.

Because over a decade ago, it had repeatedly told Prince Wolfram about the “Book of Law.”
The Eye Demon believed that the “Book of Law” contained secret knowledge about the Celestial Marshal and the Pillar Gods, related to changing the world and affecting the future with great power.

If the right person obtained it, there was hope that Ursa Major could return to the Seat of the Nine Pillar Gods…

and if he could also reclaim the Holy Entity, he might even have the chance to ascend to the position of Celestial Marshal or even Pillar God as a mortal.

…Come on, big brother.

Do you really believe that?

Kazim found the entire situation preposterous.

With his usual intelligence, he simply couldn’t comprehend what was happening.

—— “The Book of Law” was at best just a book written by Jacob, the former leader, and he was at most at the Fifth Power Level, not even the Sixth.

Moreover, this book wasn’t even considered a Codex Book.

A book written by a mortal, recording knowledge that could turn a mortal into a Pillar God—if this were true, then why didn’t he become a Pillar God himself?

Or if one-third of it was true, couldn’t you at least become an Angel Envoy?

But Jacob wasn’t even an Angel Envoy; he died a clean death.

At that time, the Eye Demon had requested Prince Wolfram to search for The Book of Law.

However, after searching high and low to no avail, Prince Wolfram eventually gave up, under the repeated dissuasions of Kazim.

Some time ago, the Eye Demon returned—it claimed that the reason The Book of Law had not been found before was that it had not been born into the world yet.

But now that The Book of Law had indeed emerged, it was time to search again.

So, Prince Wolfram sent Kazim out again, insisting that he must find The Book of Law.

—— Now Kazim was highly suspicious that all this was a conspiracy orchestrated by the Eye Demon.

The purpose was to drive him away, and Prince Wolfram must have realized it too.

He intended to use this opportunity to eliminate or suppress the power of Kazim’s lineage.

After all, Kazim was somewhat of a Transcender himself.

There were no utterly loyal Transcenders in this world—he did have his own forces.

And according to the unspoken agreement among Transcenders, the moment Prince Wolfram began to clear out his forces, it meant that he no longer had the heart of transcendence!

Although Kazim maintained an outward appearance of respect and loyalty, inside, he was actually quite thrilled.

The Prince was starting to weaken, so…

Could I possibly take the opportunity to replace him and become “Prince Wolfram”?

After all, to the eyes of humans, all Giants look more or less the same…

In any case, Kazim had done everything that needed to be done.

They had checked all the surrounding graves and hospitals, and now they were idling around in the forest, trying to appear busy…@@novelbin@@

And then, just at that moment, they unexpectedly found a path.

—— He swore, that path absolutely hadn’t been there just a moment ago.

It was as if, from one instant to the next, a new path had suddenly appeared.

That is to say, they had inadvertently found a locked mystery.

Therefore, Kazim’s heart suddenly stirred.

Because he felt an extremely strong twilight aura…

Could this be the “place closest to death” where “The Book of Law” is located?

Or perhaps…

Could “The Book of Law” really exist?

Another thought suddenly occurred to Kazim.

If The Book of Law was indeed here, and if it possessed at least one-third of the power the Eye Demon had touted, then perhaps he didn’t need to hand it over to the Prince after all.

With this thought, he made his way through the gloomy forest.

After admiring the silent village under the twilight for a while, and feeling the death energy filling the air, Kazim took a deep breath.

—— My life is about to change!

The village hidden in the locked mystery surely had something special about it.

In that case…

Kazim let out a cold laugh.

“Search carefully, brothers and sisters.”
With a heavy intent to kill, he slowly commanded, “Take a thorough look inside each house.

“Remember to leave behind all the elderly and those who read, and gather them in the middle of the village square.”
