Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Proxy Connection Failed!

"So why are you acting this way?" William didn't get this point yet, "I'm sure before leaving they took anything worthy. Besides, hundreds of years have passed, and that's enough to ruin the most valuable things."

"I'm looking for the Black Scrolls," she said as if she was speaking about something quite precious.

William kept asking many questions until she finally responded and explained everything. The Black Scrolls were some sort of a legendary item, a large group of scrolls that held a great secret.

According to her, no one really knew what these scrolls had within their pages, or how many scrolls were out there. But any Black Scroll was worth a fortune in any auction house. And that explained why she acted like this.

These scrolls were hidden inside the abandoned bases of the dark masters. When William doubted such a story, as black masters should already be aware of any hidden base of theirs and wouldn't let such valuable treasure to be left in the dust, she didn't agree with him.

"The ones who knew the entire map of the dark masters' bases are gone a long time ago. Most of them died either when the ground came down over their heads, or when other masters hunted them down. The only few old ones who knew such information already purged the bases they knew about."

"So… That means it's a gamble," William got what she meant. Many bases were already cleared from these scrolls, but others still got them. And she nodded in agreement, showing the same excitation over her face despite that.

"A single scroll is worth the price of buying an entire city, can you believe that? Let's look, let's hope we'll find one here."

"Give me a clue at least," William didn't like the idea of going around and looking for these scrolls in such a way, randomly.

"They are always well hidden, releasing black light from time to time like a beacon. Just looked around and examined every single piece here. Let's hope luck is on our side, hahahaha!"

In his eyes, she lost it! He watched her jump around like a monkey, picking things, cleaning them, examining them for a few seconds before throwing them away.

He didn't like how she was doing it. "Can't we just use our spirit sense?" he finally spoke after ten minutes of watching such funny actions of her.

"Tsk! Can't you tell? I'm in the silver grade and can't use it yet… Wait a moment, you can use it, right?"

When she realised this, she threw the cup she held and ran towards him, "please use your spirit sense, look for anything shining black, please."

"..."

William didn't care about any wealth, not in this world anyway. But as he was already here, he didn't find it problematic to look for these scrolls.

He spread his sense out, scanned kilometres of this base, looking for anything like what she described. The base was huge, spanning not only horizontally, but also vertically.

Any dark master base was built over a large stretch of tens of kilometres, constructed on different levels, and had many entrances on the ground, ones that were masked by these hills.

Yet all the entrances led to the same place, or cave. William spanned his spirit sense and looked around, carefully looking for anything shining black for a few minutes.

"It's not here," he said while starting to move forward.

"You didn't take minutes to look for it, take more time, please," she looked at him as if he neglected his duties or anything.

"It's not me," he rolled his eyes, "the range of my spirit sense is quite limited. Let's go, we need to move to other spots. This base is huge."

"Cool," she hurried after him, while humming from time to time out of her excitement. He ignored her and focused on looking for these scrolls.

For hours the two kept moving in this grand base, looking for these scrolls at all levels. But they didn't get any result at all.

"Let's do it again," she persisted, "I'm sure a scroll is here."

"What tells you so?" William rolled his eyes, "as you said it, many bases already got cleared from the scrolls. Not to mention not all the bases had such scrolls."

"I can tell it, believe me, I have a good hunch about such things," her eyes sparkled with dreams of finding these scrolls, a thing that made William lose any trust in what she just said.

"Fine! I'm going to ransack the entire place until I find it!" she stomped the ground with her feet, acting like any naughty girl, before turning around and did exactly what she said.

William watched her for an hour or so, before he decided to use this time and rest. "If such a valuable item is here, then it won't be exposed to the public," he thought while resting, and then he started to recall the entire design of this base in his head.

"The most likely place to hide such an item is the places where the leaders lived," William already had a place in mind, one that was well secured with old traps that were ruined by time.

Other than this place, there were few others, but with less security than this one. William looked around using his spirit sense, and found Angelica still doing the futile, looking for the scrolls by picking piece by piece off the ground.

"If this continues, she will remain here forever," he slowly stood up, and decided to examine the place he had in mind first. If he found nothing there, he'd go to the other few places with little security, then tell her he'd leave, and she'd be left alone here if she didn't come with him.

As he walked towards that place, he kept thinking about these scrolls, wondering about what type of secret they held, enough to let them get sold at such a scary price.

A single scroll was worth the price of an entire city? That was crazy!
