Chapter 353: S-Class Mission
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“An ordinary heart is useless to me. Only the heart of a god with infinite power can heal me!” Bartos looked at Xu Yuan meaningfully.
He knew that Xu Yuan was a dragon.
“Su Wan, the strongest among the Lords…” Bartos mused. “If you got Nami to recommend you to me, then you’re probably not ordinary.”
“Mr. Bartos, you still haven’t told me about the kind of danger that lurks in the temple,” said Su Wan.
“I have never been inside the temple. How would 1 know?”
Su Wan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at the old man who acted like an assh*le. Even if the old man had an extraordinary background, it was difficult to respect and like him as a person. He was so rude.
“Then how did you know that there was a heart of a god inside the temple?”
…..
“It’s an ancient secret.”
“Then I insist you give me the Soul Contract first before I enter the temple,” said Su Wan.
“I told you, little girl. I will only give the Soul Contract after you obtain God’s Heart…” Bartos was a little annoyed.
He saw that Su Wan still wanted to argue.
Bartos sighed and waved his hand. The space distorted suddenly. The world lost its light. Everything was surrounded by darkness. There was a silver-white weighing scale in front of them with a tray on either side.
The world ceased to exist. Only the scale was real. The trays were held in the air by chains. One tray held white feathers and the other was empty.
“Little girl, a Soul Contract is nothing. I can give you anything you desire.”
Su Wan was bewildered. She calmed herself and opened the attribute panel.
[Wishing Scale.]
[Level: High-Grade Divine Weapon]
[Characteristic: After making a wish in your heart, place an item on the other end of the scale. The Wishing Scale will fulfill your wish.]
[Restriction: The object and the wish should be of equal value. If the wish is higher in value than the object placed on the tray, the wish will not be granted.]
[Cooldown Time: 3 months]
[Note: A divine artifact forged by the God of Wishes. Originally, it was intended to be a Wishing Scale that did not require any payment. Due to some reason, a restriction was added. It still possesses incredible power.]
Xu Yuan was shocked. He didn’t expect the artifact to be this powerful!
Bartos looked at their shocked faces. He chuckled. “You Lords have the ability to see the attributes of anything or anyone. Very enviable trait.”
“You have such a strong artifact… why not exchange something for God’s Heart directly?” asked Su Wan.
“Child, you still lack so much knowledge. What can you find in this world that might be of equal value as God’s Heart? I spent half of my life’s savings to find out information about the location of God’s heart.”
Su Wan was hopeful. With an artifact like this, she could definitely obtain something that was powerful enough to subdue and enslave the Vampire Duke.
Although the artifact was very useful, it needed an item of equal value to be placed in the other tray.
What level of treasure would be needed to wish for a treasure that could enslave any hero to do my bidding?’ thought Su Wan. She looked at Bartos.
“Don’t look at me like that. Just tell me if you still want to go ahead with the mission,” said Bartos as he glared at her impatiently.
Su Wan sighed. The old man was powerful but had the temperament of a hooligan.
“Mr. Bartos, what item will be needed to exchange for a treasure that can enslave ordinary heroes?” asked Su Wan.
“Don’t even think about it,” said Bartos. “Something like that cannot be obtained even with a Dark Demon Dragon helping you,” said Bartos angrily. “Why are you asking me useless questions? Last time, someone asked me if I could use the scales to get a treasure that would make them divine! If 1 could do something like that, do you think I would be here talking to you?”
Bartos was tired of unrealistic expectations.
“But Mr. Bartos, whether I can get the item or not is my business. You just need to tell me the price I’d have to pay,” said Su Wan.
He would have scoffed, but Su Wan’s determined gaze convinced him to answer her.
“It seems that I have underestimated you.” Bartos smiled. “Such scrolls are of extraordinary power. Even nobles who are of the ancient bloodline cannot afford them.”
He emphasized that he would help Su Wan as long as she brought him God’s Heart.
Su Wan heard the notification.
[Lord Su Wan, you have triggered an S-class mission, God’s Heart.]
[Demigod-level Bartos fought with the ancient Red Dragon. His heart was ripped out by the beast. He snatched the Wishing Scale from the Red Dragon and was able to stay alive. He also learned that he needed God’s Heart to heal himself. He devised a long plan to obtain the heart. For ten years, he tried relentlessly to enter the temple where God’s Heart was located. However, due to special rules, only Lords were allowed to enter.]
[Mission Requirements: Obtain God’s Heart from the Temple of Blasphemy and hand it over to Bartos to restore his demigod power.]
[Mission Reward: Bartos’ gratitude and the opportunity to use the Wishing Scale.]
[Note: The reward for this mission is not fixed. Any action during the mission may affect the final reward.]
Su Wan looked at the notification solemnly. This kind of mission was too dangerous. She read the requirements a few more times.
She then turned to Bartos. The mysterious old man with an eye patch was indeed not as simple as he looked. He was at the Demigod Level!
That explained everything. Su Wan was surprised that he had managed to snatch away the Wishing Scale from the Red Dragon..
