A dozen or so lowgods of varying strengths and an early-stage midgod divine guard instantly shrouded the entire area with a murderous aura. The stern-looking divine guard in the lead creased his brows. Even though he did not deliberately release his Domain of Divinity, he still exuded an imposing aura.
Han Shuo unfolded his consciousness and discovered that not only did the dozen or so divine guards rapidly arrive after the old man's shrill cry, but there were also men and women of varying strengths walking out from the other buildings. There were lowgods, basegods, and even a few demigods.
After taking a few glances, Han Shuo discovered that these people, just like him, seemed to have just arrived from another material plane. They had been hiding in those buildings and came out to watch the show after hearing the commotion.
"What's wrong with paying on credit? Haven't seen it before? " Contrary to Han Shuo's expectation, that heavily wounded young man who cultivated in the edict of destruction and only possessed mid-stage lowgod strength did not shrink back in fear. Instead, he was brimming with killing intent as though he would fight to the death.
The old man shook his head and softly sighed. He feigned pity and said, "What a pitiful fella. His brain has indeed been damaged!"
"Arrest him!" the divine guard in the lead coldly waved his hand.
Two lowgods behind him dashed out at lightning speed. They brandished the spears in their hands that overflowed with dark radiance.
The blue eyes of the youngster who wanted credit suddenly revealed madness in them. He let out a shrill howl and charged towards the two divine guards who came to capture him like an enraged beast. The energy of destruction on his body was extremely ferocious and violent.
Han Shuo rather admired his valiant and fearless spirit. But it was a pity that the young man's injuries were too severe. His sudden burst of energy seemed to have worsened his injuries. Halfway through his charge, the young man suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. He immediately lost consciousness.
Gods weren't invincible. It was already very difficult for him to hold on until now due to his severe injuries. Now that he had attacked by force, it would be a wonder if he didn't collapse!
The two divine guards were about to make an example out of him. Little did they expect that the young man would pass out. They were stunned on the spot and turned to look at the midgod with inquiring gazes.
"Capture them first. If they don't behave, lock them up and teach them a lesson. Make them understand the rules!" The leading divine guard coldly snorted.
The two divine guards heard the order and without hesitation, they walked to the young man on the ground and were about to drag him away.
"Wait!" Han Shuo suddenly said.
The two divine guards stared blankly for a moment before they turned their gazes to their chief and waited for him to speak. The leader didn't say anything. He just looked at Han Shuo coldly, as if waiting for Han Shuo's explanation.
"You must be the Chief of Divine Guards here, Lord Dolores?" Han Shuo put on a faint smile and asked courteously.
The leader was stunned. He looked at Han Shuo seriously and asked, "You should be a newcomer, right? How do you know my name? "
"Big sister Donna has mentioned you to me. She told me to look for you if I need any trouble!" Han Shuo replied calmly.
When Dolores heard Han Shuo mention Donna's name, his expression softened. He asked, "What's your name? Where are you from? "
"Brian, from Profound Continent!" Han Shuo replied smilingly. Before he came, Donna had told him that Dolores was a member of her family clan and that he was sent here to gain experience. She said that she would inform Dolores before she returned and that Han Shuo could set his mind at ease.
Dolores nodded after hearing Han Shuo's words. It appeared that Donna had indeed given him instructions. Dolores looked around and said in a cold face, "Those who have no business here, do not linger!"
The onlookers who were watching the show left one after another after hearing Dolores' words. In the blink of an eye, the only people left were the group of divine guards, the old man handling the divine tablets, Han Shuo, and the young man on the ground.
After the spectators dispersed, Dolores looked Han Shuo up and down and said, "My cousin has instructed me that if you need anything, just say it. I will definitely help if I can!"
"That fella has a backbone. Don't make things difficult for him if you can!" Suggested Han Shuo to Dolores as he pointed at the young man who cultivated in the edict of destruction on the ground. Han Shuo was rather impressed that the young man dared to attack recklessly even when facing certain death.
"Sure!" Dolores wore a strange expression as though he didn't understand why Han Shuo would ask for leniency from a newcomer who didn't know the rules. However, as he had been entrusted by Donna to do so, he casually agreed.
"Also, I heard from Big Sister Donna that a divine tablet only costs fifty blue crystal coins. Why did he charge me eighty?" asked Han Shuo as he pointed at the old man.
"Erm, I didn't know he was one of us. My apologies, my apologies!" Said the old man as he humbly bowed before Han Shuo's finger. His attitude was completely different from before. However, after observing for a moment, Han Shuo discovered that although the old man's attitude was much more humble, there wasn't a hint of fear in his brows.
"Erm, the price varies for different people!" Dolores' face that had always been cold and stern turned somewhat awkward. Shortly after, he glared at the old man and lightly shouted, "Jeff, waive the divine tablet fee for him!"
"Yes, yes!" the old man named Jeff hastily replied. However, he didn't appear nervous.
The divine guards beside Dolores all wore odd expressions. Two of them were even snickering in secret.
Han Shuo took in their expressions and came to a sudden realization. He thought that Dolores must be the mastermind behind all this. Otherwise, that old man wouldn't be so fearless. It was no wonder that Dolores appeared even more embarrassed than Jeff after hearing Han Shuo's words!
"There's no need to waive the fee. It's just fifty blue crystal coins. I can afford it!" Han Shuo found it funny when he realized what was going on. He didn't intend to pursue the matter further. He took out a purple crystal coin and handed it to Jeff. He pointed at the young man lying on the ground not far away and said, "One purple crystal coin for that fella's divine tablet as well!"
Old Jeff did not immediately accept the purple crystal coin. Instead, he stole a glance at Dolores as though asking for his opinion. When he saw Dolores nod his head with a frown, he accepted the Purple Crystal Coin with a grin on his face and agreed to it.
"After you have completed your divine tablet, you can head north from here. You will arrive at the City of Shadows in about half a month. The City of Shadows is one of the seven major cities in the Domain of Darkness. Our House of Lavers is located in the City of Shadows. If I'm not mistaken, my cousin should also be in the City of Shadows. When you arrive at the City of Shadows, look for my cousin and she will make arrangements for you, "Dolores said to Han Shuo after thinking for a moment.
Han Shuo was aware that this was something Donna had arranged before she left. He nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Don't worry. As the Chief of Divine Guards, I have some authority in this Tanai Mountain. You may leave after you have completed your divine tablet. No one will make things difficult for you!" Dolores continued.
"Many thanks!" Han Shuo knew that newcomers to this mountain valley would be harassed in every possible way. If they did not have crystal coins, they would have to serve in Tanai Mountain Mine for a year and a half to obtain a divine tablet. Even if they came from mid to high level material planes and had crystal coins, they would still be harassed by all sorts of methods. They would only be released after a portion of their crystal coins had been extracted.
Fortunately, Donna had given Dolores instructions in advance from Tanai Mountain. Otherwise, it would have been nearly impossible for Han Shuo to leave the mountain valley so easily.
After Dolores had finished giving instructions, he said to Han Shuo, "Before you leave the mountain valley, you can look for me if you have any problems. I will help you resolve them without delay!" Upon finishing those words, Dolores led his men to another region.
After Han Shuo returned, Old Jeff smilingly bowed and made an inviting gesture. He said, "This way, please. I will get your divine tablet done as soon as possible. Hehe, since you know Lord Dolores, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known that you were one of us, there wouldn't have been so many misunderstandings! "
"I was just about to tell you when that fella suddenly rushed out covered in cuts and bruises. I didn't make it in time!" Han Shuo put on a fake smile and feigned civility with him. Han Shuo understood that little rascals like him were the hardest to deal with. If such a crafty old fella wanted to do something behind your back, it would truly be impossible to guard against. As it was his first time here, Han Shuo was unwilling to bicker with him and therefore didn't ridicule him.
The process of getting a divine tablet required one to test one's realm, inquire about one's background, and go through a series of complicated procedures. However, with Old Jeff's enthusiastic help, Han Shuo was able to quickly complete the process and obtain the divine tablet from Old Jeff.
At Han Shuo's request, the unconscious young man was quickly woken up by Old Jeff. He was muddle-headed and was about to make a move, but when Jeff said that he was going to get a divine tablet for him, he immediately calmed down while panting heavily.
Akley, mid-stage lowgod of destruction from the Blue Ocean Continent. Han Shuo learned of his information while he was getting a divine tablet.
"Akley, this is your divine tablet. Keep it well and don't ever lose it. No matter where you go, the divine tablet is your proof of identity. You will find it very troublesome without it! "Jeff exhorted as he handed over the divine tablet to Akley.
"I don't need your reminder. I'll return it to you when I have the money!" Akley received the divine tablet impatiently. It appeared that he still didn't understand that Han Shuo had already paid for him.
"There's no need for that. He has already paid for you and pleaded on your behalf. Otherwise, you would have been locked up by now!" Jeff lightly groaned when he saw that Akley didn't appreciate his kindness. If it wasn't for Han Shuo's sake, Akley wouldn't even be able to enter this place.
Akley was stunned by Jeff's words. He then started sizing up Han Shuo seriously. After a long while, Akley mumbled, "Just as well, I'm lacking a helper!" Akley's eyes lit up as he stared at Han Shuo and excitedly asked, "Friend, do you want to make a fortune?"
"I don't want to!" Han Shuo answered succinctly.
Akley, "Erm … My appearance is indeed not very convincing. But I know a place where I can make a fortune. Really, I'm lacking a helper. I'm now seriously inviting you!"
