Eternal Thief

Chapter 1166: Crystal of Secrets (1)

Although Ace didnʼt know who this ʼMystic Secret Saintʼ was, it didnʼt matter since he considered all the saints his enemies. After all, it was because of these saints that his entire life changed, and the enmity was too deep to just forget about it.

”Is there something wrong, Mr. George?” The lady in the mask asked when she saw George in a daze. She didnʼt know if she had imagined it, but she sensed killing intent from him, but it instantly vanished, so she wasnʼt sure.

Ace quickly regained his calm and smiled, shaking his head, ”Nothing. I was just admiring the craftsmanship of this Law Contract.”

Without any further explanation, Ace directly enveloped the Law Contract with his Qi. The next moment, the Law Contract pulsed in a mystical light before it turned into a streak of golden light and directly pierced his glabella.

=====

Ace was startled for a moment when he saw the real name of this ʼLaw Contractʼ, and his eyes shimmered with even more coldness as he had already suspected some kind of trick in it when he saw that symbol, and he wasnʼt wrong. Furthermore, this contract was even above the Ascension Grade!

”What is this Faith Contract?” Ace questioned the system.

”[Faith Contracts are created by Rulers of Laws to gather ʼFaith Powerʼ for empowerment and to seek the realm above Mortality. The people who signed a Faith Contract would become Faith Believers, forever to be under their Rulerʼs rule and become their cattle for Faith Power.]

[But the Faith Believer will also be able to get a portion of the Rulerʼs power and the Rulerʼs laws, making it easier for them to increase their power by tremendous speed and with half the effort. Of course, the Ruler can control how much authority he/she wants to bestow on the Faith Follower. They can even control their free will and freedom without letting the Faith Followers realize it.]

”[To know more you need to upgrade your authority another level!]”

Ace was secretly flabbergasted as this was almost like a religion, and this ʼFaith Powerʼ seemed to be quite essential after reaching a certain realm. Nonetheless, he now has another clue about the power of Saints and another reason for him to be wary.

Now that he knew what kind of contract this was, he secretly sneered at the Sea of Secrets, who seemed to be a chess piece of this Mystic Secret Saint, and they might not even know about it.

Without delay, he selected the second option without hesitation despite running out of the Thief Points. After all, now that he knew this Sea of Secrets had something to do with a saint, he wouldnʼt miss any chance to investigate. If he was partially interested in them before, now he was fully invested.

[Fake Prime Law Foundation has been created, and the Faith Contract has been established successfully!]

[Thief Point(s): 20,010,390]

The lady in the mask didnʼt know the truth behind the Law Contract had been exposed. She thought it was already done since she had seen it herself, and no one could break the rules of a Law Contract or play any tricks.

At this moment, she tapped on the table again, and a white badge appeared in front of Ace. It bore the same symbol of a book and eye, and on its other side, his name, ʼGeorge Edward,ʼ and ʼSecret Level-1ʼ were engraved. This token was far from simple since he saw many hidden runes engraved on it.

”Congratulations, Mr. George. You are now our official patron, and you have level-1 access to our secrets. This Badge of Secrets is proof of your identity. Next time you enter any branch of the Sea of Secrets, you will be required to hold this Badge.

”This Badge also records all the transitions between you and the Sea of Secrets. Once you are qualified to reach the next level, any of our branches will automatically upgrade it.

”You can also use it to find our branches in your vicinity, and the range is the 100,000-mile radius. But as per the contract clause, you canʼt bring or divulge any of this information to anyone under any circumstances.

”This Badge is now directly connected with your Law Contract, and if god forbids anything to happen to you or the law Contract vanishes, this token will alert us before self-destructing, so there is no chance of it falling into any unrelated personʼs hand.

”If you lose it, then you have to pay a huge amount and another penalty before you get a new one after alerting us. Now, let me officially introduce myself. Iʼm a Carrier of Secrets of this branch, Carrier9,309.

”Please tell me what you want to know, and if it is within the scope of your level, Iʼll tell you the price for it. You can also sell or exchange secrets of equal value or for any kind of resources or money,” she declared in her alluring voice.

She then pointed towards the crystal ball in front of her, and it started to shimmer. ”This is the Crystal of Secrets, and it can judge the secrets you want to know fairly. If you want to sell any secrets, it can detect truth from lies and then categorize your secretʼs value.”

Ace picked up the Badge of Secrets before looking thoughtfully at the lady in the mask, who introduced herself as Carrier9,309, before looking towards the glowing crystal ball.

He asked, ”How big is the Mortal Ascension Heaven?”

The Crystal of Secrets shimmered for a moment before a static voice rang, ”This question is too ambiguous!”

Ace cocked an eyebrow when he heard it and asked again, rephrasing the question, ”I want to know where the Spirit Inferno Domain is located and the magnitude of this location, and the top power or powers of this land!”

Ace thought this question might not be enough for his current secret level, but to his surprise,

the answer he was unexpected.

”Secret can be divulged!

”Price: 10,000,000 Tier-4 Spirit Coins!”
