Round 35:35
John soon realized that his expression was too exaggerated. Trying to cover up his shock, John quickly asked the woman, “What is this? Do you know what this technique says?”
The woman looked at John in silence for a moment. His exaggerated expression seemed to indicate that he could read the scroll, but that was impossible. From what the woman knew, the language was an ancient language from a time before the destruction. No one knows how to read that language anymore. He decides to test John and see what his surprised reaction is. This matter is too important to just leave it alone.
“Unfortunately I didn't. By the way, why are you so surprised to see this scroll. A scroll in a foreign language should not be too surprising right?”
John soon realizes that the woman is interested in him. He racked his brain to look for ideas before finally thinking about something.
“I was surprised because my clan has the exact same scroll in his martial library. The responsible elder told me that it was written in a language that no one understood but did not explain further. I didn't expect to see it anywhere else. . ”
The woman looked at John but did not respond. “I think it makes sense why he would be surprised to see her here. How stupid I thought this brat could read this scroll” thought the woman while slightly laughing at herself.
“Your Clan Chief is right. This scroll was written in an ancient language that had long since been erased from this world. This scroll was one of the few remaining items that stood the test of time. What we have here, and what you clan have are also just copies. “
John finally understood why his clan and the Mystic Trade Hall had this technique. “So it's just a copy huh? I wonder where the original is?” thought John.
John wanted to ask if there were more techniques than just this single scroll, but he stopped himself at the very last moment. “Asking that question will cause some signs. Why am I interested in more than just this page if I don't know how to read it?”
When John had originally read this technique in the Fenix Clan, he was unable to understand it and had therefore kept it away with all the other trash he had brought along. He never thought of reading it again. But only after seeing the scroll in front of him did John realize that it was written in the same language as the Celestial Lightning Script and the Immortal Asura Body.
“How can I be that stupid?” thought John. “I have to see later tonight on his technique and see what it is about. Hopefully it's ‘
John looked back at the woman and said, “Thank you for the information. Regarding the sickle technique, I will use the Myriad Annihilation Scythe technique. On second thought, I also want to see your great sword.”
“I am already proficient in the Mountain Destruction Sword, so while I am learning the ancient technique and the Myriad Destruction scythe, I should have a powerful great sword to keep watch” thought John.
“Of course, we have over a hundred great swords. Please look inside the ring and select the one you want” replied the woman while handing over one of the storage rings.
John sent his thoughts into the storage ring, his eyes widening in shock. “Very much.
John learned many great swords before choosing the one that caught his eye. The knife was five feet long and six inches wide at its base.
He took it out of the storage ring and held it. “It's quite heavy. Must be about two hundred pounds. It's perfect for now” thought John while saving that sword.
“How much for Myriad Annihilation Scythe and greatsword?” ask John.
John was prepared at a high price but still breathed in the cold air. “That's almost a quarter of my gold coins,” thought John, but he decided to accept it.
“I need both of these things more than I need money. In addition, money is only useful if it is used to buy the items I need.”
“Is there anything else you need?” the woman asked, awakening John from his depressive thoughts about his financial situation.
John thought for a moment whether he needed anything else, but could not think of anything he needed.
“I'm ready for now. Thank you” John replied with a smile on his face. He was quite happy with the transaction today. The two things weighing down on his mind had recently been resolved, making him feel much more at ease.
“Great. If you need anything else, please come back” replied the woman with a smile. John got up from the sofa and said goodbye to the woman before leaving the room. After leaving the building, John stood by the side of the road and thought of his next move.
“I've taken care of my urgent needs for now. I really want to know about that sickle technique. I have to find an inn and study it tonight” thought John as he stepped back onto the street and started walking.
A few minutes later, John stopped in front of a comfortable-looking three-story building. “The Orchard Inn? Sounds like a nice place to stay during my time in the kingdom.”
John walked into the building and was greeted with a boisterous atmosphere. Men and women are eating, drinking and laughing. John smiled before walking to the main counter.
“Sorry, I want a room for the next few days” John said as he approached the innkeeper.
The fat middle-aged man turned around with a smile on his face. “The price is ten silver coins overnight.”
“Ten! This kingdom must be expensive” thought John. “After all, I have enough money.”
John accepted the offer and followed the innkeeper to his room. It was quite large and far more luxurious than any other inn he had ever stayed in during his trip.
After sitting down and taking a bath, John sat on the floor and cleared his mind. Immediately after, a small courtyard made of animal skin appeared in his hand.
“I couldn't read you before, but now I can. Let's see what secrets you're hiding.”
John looked at the page and read the technique.
“Sabit Heavenly Reaper!”
