Chapter 1927 The Location Of The Fourth Book

Jim couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. “Who would have thought of this?” “In the past, Master had sent some powerhouses to the arctic many times,” he continued while putting the Nostro compass away. “He attempted to discover what kind of evil existed in this place. Unfortunately, those who embarked on the expedition never returned. In other words, that place is extremely dangerous.” Tyr asked, “Just how dangerous is this place?” “According to my master, the last time Dragun Squad sent the expedition team to that place was five years ago,” Jim said after taking a deep breath. “Even though the team’s leader was the squad’s Demigod, the team still vanished in the end.” “Even a Demigod can’t make it out alive?” “Precisely,” Jim clarified. “That location is incredibly dangerous. I’m not sure what’s hidden there. According to the information gathered by the squad over the years, it is very likely that certain forces from the west are present in that area.” “Are there western forces involved in this matter?” Tyr was genuinely shocked to hear the news. “Those barbarians are capable of abandoning their humanity just to achieve certain goals. We don’t have much time, Boss. According to the Nostro compass, the third book is located in the Dragon Palace beneath our headquarters,” Jim said with a wave of his sleeve. “The Dragon Palace is blessed with formations, which makes it extremely dangerous. We must not attempt to open its gates easily. After this, I’ll stay on Komodo Island and concentrate all of my efforts on breaking through the Dragon Palace’s defenses.” Tyr suspected the Dragon Palace had something to do with the magic books. Jim’s excitement confirmed his guess, but he was still surprised by the revelation. “I’ll break through the formation with you. I’m curious if a Scaly Dragon is being held captive in the Dragon Palace.” “No!” Jim rejected Tyr’s suggestion right away. “You can leave the Dragon Palace to me and the Regal Palace brothers. You have more important tasks ahead of you.” “Is there something more important than breaking through the Dragon Palace’s formation and obtaining the third book?” Tyr asked in puzzlement. “Didn’t you say that you’re worried there will be a catastrophe erupting in the arctic? Don’t I need to be strong as soon as possible to stop all this?” “You’re right. The reason for you to become stronger is other important things. Our team have already discovered the location of the fourth book some time ago.” “The fourth book! Where is it?” Tyr asked while clenching his fists. Jim spooned some grits into his mouth. Even though the grits that Olympias made weren’t particularly tasty, he continued to wolf them down eagerly. “A year ago, there was a sign indicating the location of the fourth book. My master had far too much on his plate at the time. Aside from that, there were numerous forces at work behind the fourth book, and the situation was unclear back then. Therefore, progress has been slow. We discovered the location of the fourth book some time ago thanks to various intelligence we received from the squad.” “Where is it?” Tyr asked. “It’s in the Second World,” Jim explained, “But it’s not in the hands of those foreigners. The owner of the fourth book is a Celestian like us.” “Stop keeping me guessing!” Seeing that Jim never got to the point, Tyr started to feel a little anxious. “Old Zab, tell you what, you have to change your personality.” “Boss, you can’t be impatient when you’re getting things done. We have to approach it step by step. Regarding the location of the fourth book, I have to tell you the ins and outs of the whole thing,” Jim rebuked. “It’s so that you can get the fourth book in the shortest amount of time possible.” Tyr inhaled deeply before spooning some grits into his mouth. The moment he tasted it, he puked half of the grits into a nearby trash can right away. Olympias, who had just exited the kitchen, fumed when she saw the scene. She raised her right hand and slapped Tyr on the back of his head forcefully. “F*ck you! Is my food really that bad?” Tyr was at a loss for words. He rubbed the back of his head gingerly and explained, “It tastes bitter.” “F*ck off!” Olympias didn’t believe a word he said. She drank from the bowl before spewing it all out immediately after. “F*ck! I think I burnt it earlier” Olympias stared at Jim, who was still enjoying his grits, as if he was a freak. She asked, “Old Zab, how can you still eat this?” “You personally made this for me,” Jim said with a bright beam. “I find it sweet regardless of how bitter it is.” “All right, that’s enough! Can you please stop showing your affection in public, Old Zab? When did you become like this? Can you stop being so mushy?” It was fine if someone else said such a cheesy line, but Tyr felt extremely uneasy and awkward when Jim said it. He even had goosebumps when he heard Jim saying those things to Olympias. Olympias was quick to shoot Tyr an unamused look. She chided, “Cut the nonsense! What's the harm in Old Zab being lovey-dovey with me? You’re cheesier than him whenever you’re with your wife!” “Haha…” The thought of Tyr’s friends being monstrous warriors who bathed in blood every day back in Rayne contrasted greatly with Olympias and Jim’s interactions. It was true that love allowed them to reveal their most vulnerable sides to each other. Tyr coughed dryly, trying to hide his embarrassment. He said, “Enough with the nonsense! Let's get down to business, Old Zab! Chop chop! Fill me in about the situation! Where are the whereabouts of the fourth book?” Jim finished his bowl of grits and placed it on the table slowly. “Here’s the whole story,” he said. “About a year ago, on a certain cruise ship in the Pacific Ocean, a very special auction was held. This auction was held by certain forces in the Second World. Magical weapons, elixirs, and spatial relics were among the items auctioned.” “Spatial relics!” Tyr was surprised. He inadvertently touched his wrist guard, which was also a spatial relic. He thought his wrist guard was the only one in the world. He had no idea that the Second World had auctioned these relics away. “What happened after that?” Tyr asked. “That auction’s finale was a book,” Jim replied. “It was useless for those who didn’t understand its significance, but it was eventually sold for two billion dollars.” “Is that the fourth book?”
