Chapter 560: Chapter 320 Someone Knocks on the Door_1
He wasn’t sure if he could consume it all, but everyday he took a nibble, after about a dozen days, Ange had completely cleared up all the glowing and dim divine glyphs inside it. From then on, the Sacred Kingdom truly belonged to him.
After authenticating the glyphs, Ange could easily pass through barriers and enter or exit the Sacred Kingdom freely without needing to use the heavenly stairs.
After discovering this, Ange eagerly made everyone go through the same glyph authentication.
“Hehe, I also have a glyph now, look, isn’t my symbol beautiful?” Lightning ‘thought of’ a unicorn head symbol, highlighting its long horn.
“What glyph? It’s just soul authentication. The horn is too long. Someone might mistake it for a hoe.”
Negris retorted unhappily.
“You are the hoe, your whole family are hoes! This is a unicorn horn, unicorn…” Just as he was speaking, Little Zombie manifested his own symbol—a hoe.
Lightning glanced at Little Zombie, then at his own symbol, and silently shortened his horn a little.
Anthony rushed over, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry as he watched everyone busily and happily ‘drawing’ their symbols.
This was just a matter of thought, it was soul authentication. But the Sacred Kingdom’s system insisted on this additional symbol—a glyph mark. It definitely set itself apart from ordinary soul authentication, and it certainly added a touch of class.
Many people were stumped, as most of them didn’t have an artistic bone in their body. Even when using their brains, they couldn’t think of a suitable symbol.
Little Zombie and Little Angel were fine, they simply used a hoe and a fist respectively.
It was troublesome for ones like Lisa and Luther, Lisa wanted something beautiful to represent the Goddess of Beauty. It also needed to represent the Harvest Goddess and include her own face. The result was an unspeakably messy amalgamation of every idea.
Luther wanted to showcase his charm, and chose to highlight his Dragon Pattern Steel Core Mithril Inlay Magic Rune Covered Earth Forged Gemstone Enhanced Piercing Enchantment Two-handed Sword’s traits. Thus, the resulting symbol was a sword that was larger than his face.
Anthony couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “One day when there are scholars specializing in glyph studies, you guys will drive them to tears. It’s better to keep it simple. Ange’s symbol is a good example.”
Ange’s glyph was a simple intersection of a sickle and a grain of rice, a simple yet powerful representation.
In the end, it was Anthony himself who designed the glyphs for those lacking creative talent, which finally accomplished the entire authentication.
In reality, for glyph authentication, Anthony did not need to come in person. Because he and Ange share a soul connection, he could just send over the symbol and soul wave, like Silver Coin, who sent over his symbol—a sparkling gold coin.
The main reason Anthony came in person was to bring gifts.
“My lord, last time you sang the Undead Anthem and uplifted everyone’s souls. So, I went to the Judgment Hall to specifically look for items that were sealed away by the Church of Light as heretical. I wanted to find if there were any records related to the Undead anthem. I was indeed able to find something.”
As he said this, Anthony brought out an iron book.
The so-called iron book was a very ancient record-keeping tool made of thin copper or iron plates threaded together, the texts were inscribed on them.
This item was very rare, because bamboo and woodshavings were easier to make and preserved longer. Copper and iron would rust over time and were hard to preserve.
Therefore, more often it appeared as a sacred offering, book in front of them.
Six iron plates were spliced together in this black, rust-less iron book. On the first page when folded up, the word ‘witchcraft’ was engraved.
“Witchcraft?!” Negris’s eyes widened in shock. Is this something from a witch?
He hastily opened the book, all the pages were blank, but from the traces on them, it seemed like someone had forcibly erased whatever was on top.
“Where are the letters?” Negris hurriedly asked.
“They were wiped off. In the Judgment Hall, all heretical items are sealed, destroyed, and eradicated.” replied Anthony.
“So, you’re saying that this is a gift? Giving a characterless iron book is equivalent to giving a carriage without a horse. What’s the difference?” Negris said unhappily.
“Don’t be impatient. Although the characters on the iron book were wiped away, there are still rubbings on record. I found the original rubbings,” said Anthony as he extended his hand. The shadow of the rubbings of three iron pages appeared in his hand.
Anthony explained: “I couldn’t bring the original rubbings and could only memorize them. I was only able to look for thirty seconds and only remembered the first three pages.”
Negris leaned in to look closely at the rubbings and asked puzzledly: “Wait, what do you mean? You were able to take the iron book, but not the original rubbings? You were only allowed to look for thirty seconds? Who dares limit your time?”
Anthony helplessly spread his hands: “There’s nothing to do. The Judgment Hall is a peer to us. Even though I declare myself as deputy Pope, even Giuliani, the acting Pope, would have to abide by their rules when he is in the Judgment Hall, because it’s the only department governed solely by the Judgment God. The other Gods of Light have no control over them. By the way, did you ask me about the symbol of Judgment God a dozen or so days ago?”
“Now that you mention it, I remember. A few days ago when we were wiping off the divine glyphs, the symbol of the Judgement God was illuminated. When wiping it off, a thought was projected over. It’s very likely that Judgment God is still alive or has been reborn.” Negris said.
