“Don’t you know?” Wen Yu could no longer contain his curiosity and quietly asked.
“I know everything, but I just won’t tell you. Your strength and authority…”
“Are still not enough. I understand.” Wen Yu interrupted Arcada directly.
“Then what exactly is this sequence? What benefits can it bring me?” Wen Yu asked a very straightforward question.
“The so-called sequence is a list established by the sovereign, which includes the most potential individuals among humanity. There is no limit to the number of people on the sequence, but your strength must reach a certain standard. Only after being evaluated and recommended by the treasure land guardian can you become part of the sequence.” Arcada’s answer this time was much smoother, clearly indicating he knew this question well.
“As for the benefits of being on the sequence, once you become part of it, you will gain visibility among all treasure land guardians. This means that in large or super treasure lands in the future, you will receive a certain level of assistance or support from the guardians. How does that sound?” Arcada stared at Wen Yu with his big, cute eyes, eagerly awaiting his response.
“Not bad, really not bad.” Wen Yu replied immediately. This was more than just good; it was like having cheats in a game.
“Hahaha, there’s also a second reward! This is the reward you truly deserve. The one earlier was just a gift from Brother Da. Quickly thank me!”
Arcada laughed heartily, and Wen Yu had no complaints; instead, he found Arcada increasingly adorable.
“The second reward is the ultimate treasure of this treasure land. Here, take it.”
After saying this, Arcada pulled out a piece of paper from thin air and handed it to Wen Yu.
“A piece of paper?” Wen Yu received it, confused.
“This is not just paper; it’s a treasure.” Arcada stated with certainty.
Wen Yu looked at the paper in front of him. Indeed, it couldn’t be considered paper; it was made of leather with strange patterns all over it.
Just as Wen Yu was still puzzled about what this was, a notification sound slowly echoed in his mind.
“Ding, unknown item detected, identifying…”
“Identification complete, grading…”
“Unable to grade, acquiring abilities…”
“Acquisition complete…”
“Book of Darkness (Curse Volume, Fragment): Absorb souls, unleash dark powers. This page is from the upper section of the Book of Darkness’ curse volume, thus its abilities are significantly weakened.”
“Current ability: When enough soul power is absorbed, the spells recorded in the Book of Darkness will take effect. Current effects:”
“Suppression: Reduces the speed of all surrounding creatures by ten percent.”
“Weaken: Reduces the strength of all surrounding creatures by ten percent.”
“Deepen Damage: Reduces the defense of all surrounding creatures.”
“Effect duration: 10 minutes, effect radius: 100 meters around the user. The curse ignores levels, and the spells are activated by the user.”
Wen Yu read the abilities of the Book of Darkness and calculated inwardly.
The several curse abilities provided by the Book of Darkness were very practical, and the most crucial part was that they did not occupy his skill slots.
These three skills could be considered additional benefits, and this aspect’s value even exceeded the importance of ignoring levels.
“Very good, I’m quite satisfied.” Wen Yu nodded at Arcada.
“Do you know the locations of the remaining volumes of the Book of Darkness?” Wen Yu asked tentatively.
Arcada pouted: “Your strength and authority are still not enough.”
This little brat was still concerned about his pride. Wen Yu had no real hopes, but upon hearing those words, he couldn't help but want to leave a bit of an impression on this little brat before he left.
“By the way, are there any other rewards?” Wen Yu asked.
“Isn’t this enough? I’ve told you humans are just greedy.”
“Well, one last question: Can the treasure land guardians harm survivors? I mean in any way?” Wen Yu cautiously inquired.
