Chapter 33: Moses

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Originally, the town’s construction sites were extremely hot and filled with sweating peasants…

However, it was a pity that today’s weather was a little bad and it actually started to rain.

William was dressed in a purple robe as he held onto an umbrella and walked on the greenstone path.

When some of the workers, who were chatting while staying out of the rain, saw his gaze, they shivered in fear because they could feel their wage for this afternoon disappear with this rain…

“Hmph, isn’t it just rain? Why did they stop working?” William glanced at Nox who was following behind him.

“My Lord, is this just rain?” Nox was shifting his helmet straight in despair. He ignored the loud banging sounds on his head and pointed at the hailstones on the floor which were still exuding coldness…

“Who knows… This is the f*cking tropics, how could there be hail?” The corners of William’s lips twitched. He was about to go look for Moses and now it suddenly started raining heavily. As he approached Moses, the rain got heavier and even started to turn to hail. It was as if even the skies were stopping him from finding Moses.

Also, if there weren’t any incidents, Moses, who had premonition ability, seemed to already know what he was here for. That was why he had changed the weather and made it rain extremely cooling hail.

However, this couldn’t stop William from finding him.

Not too long later, he arrived in front of a fortune-telling hut and waved Nox away. “You can go back now. I’m going to get my fortune told for tomorrow’s journey.”

“Yes, my Lord.” Nox stared at him and nodded. To him, his Lord was still a little weird and he knew that there was a chance he wouldn’t be able to return after this journey.

“Bang bang!” William knocked on the door.

No one replied.

“Thump, thump!”

Still no one.

“Bang bang bang bang bang…”

“Creek.” A devilish looking young man with long, silver hair opened the door. His eyes were a little dazed, with a sliver of drool by his lips. His eyes looked behind William, looking around before he seemed to wake up and said, “Aiyo, my Lord, what kind of hail brought you here? This is really weird. Can this place even rain hail?”

The corners of William’s lips twitched. He knew this person was a b*tch, but he didn’t know he was such a b*tch…

Moses was one of the few in existence to have a level too high in version 1.0 of the game.

In the year of open beta, he had not used any magic that was beyond level 69. From the start, he remained acting, using the feel of a hidden boss to look at every player.

And he was that boss…

“Moses, why are you sleeping in the middle of the day? Do you not want any business?” William kept his umbrella and walked into the dim hut. Magical items were messily thrown all over the hut.

Crystal balls, gems, and rare and weird objects were everywhere. At the same time, there was a painting hanging on the wall that included some unreadable magical symbols!

And the only chair his customers could sit on was occupied by a darn black cat.

Moses looked extremely young, with a soft yet dark handsomeness. His eyes were dazed as he yawned. “I don’t have any business anyway. I don’t open for six months and once I do, it can feed me for a year. As long as your honor’s territory doesn’t get taken, I plan to await death with your honor here…”

“…” William sunk into his thoughts for two seconds before he patted his shoulders. “Help me read if my journey to the Blue Moon town will be successful!”

“Sure.” Moses got up to take a crystal ball.

However, when he turned around, William took the chance to inspect his attributes.

He didn’t need to worry about being discovered. It was a player-exclusive ability. Even if the Creator was here, he wouldn’t be discovered anyway.

Moses Holyvein

Race: Human

Bloodline Potential: Legendary

Occupation: ?

Level: ?

Health: ?

Alright, apart from his bloodline potential and race, everything else had question marks.

However, there was something that was fortunate.

Having the endowment of being handsome was a powerful skill because he would leave an extremely good impression after their first meeting.

A reminder bing sounded.

Moses’s impression points increased by 80 points.

That was pretty good.

This was a good start.

“Reach out and hold the crystal ball with me.” From the many crystal balls, Moses picked a pale blue one and placed it on the table.

William quietly placed his hands on the crystal ball and Moses covered them with his own hands. A cooling feeling transmitted through his hands and into the crystal ball.

However, it was precisely because of that cooling feeling that passed through his body that made William shiver as a chill crawled up his spine.

He glanced at Moses, then at the shining crystal ball, a feeling that something was wrong itching inside him.

When he was a normal player, he had his fortune read as well, however, players had no future, so nothing could be read.

But…

The fortune-teller didn’t need to grab his hands!

There was nothing like this!

Was the rumor about Moses true?

He preferred men…

Various images appeared on the crystal ball.

William couldn’t understand it. Even if he had been reborn, he still couldn’t read it. If he could understand them, then all of the fortune tellers in the continent would become nothing.

Moses stared at the images in the crystal ball in detail. After a few minutes, he let go of his hands and licked his lips, before he said, “I can’t see any bad things. Everything will go smoothly. There will be nothing good but nothing bad either.”

“Can I change anything? As in getting some benefits?” William asked.

“No, I can only tell you if you’re lucky or unlucky. If I said more, it would be ineffective. Besides, with your current ability, there’s nothing you can change.” Moses curled his finger around his hair, shaking his head as he sat on the chair.

“That’s how it is!” William nodded, not asking anymore as he took out five gold coins from his pocket and slapped them on the table.

Moses took them happily before he stood up and said to William, “Welcome again, your Honor!”

“Moses!” William glanced at the black cat whose level he couldn’t read and carried it carefully before he placed it on the table and sat down.

The black cat crawled onto Moses’ lap willingly, letting its owner caress its head.

At this point, Moses finally seemed to have heard William’s words. He asked in confusion, “Is there anything else, your Honor? I won’t go anywhere with you. I can only make premonitions and don’t have any fighting ability. I don’t even know how to kill a chicken…”

Moses without any fighting power? An enchanter that couldn’t kill a chicken? William’s heart panged, as it took him a few tries to finally form his words as he said, “I’ve heard from others that you seem to have soul magic inheritance knowledge?”

Moses remained indifferent, his expression calm as if he couldn’t understand what William was saying.

That was why William continued, “You know that I’m a half-blooded Elf. But since I have so many pure-blooded Elfin guards, it also proves that I’m Elfin royalty…”

Moses raised an eyebrow at William. “So? Your Highness?”

Slam!

William stood up and slapped the table, shouting, “Someone told me that you will teach me the best soul magic.

“Besides, did you forget our promise?

“Did you forget what you promised once?

“Did you forget someone telling you and agreeing to keep the best soul magic for me?”

“…?” Moses was really confused this time.

However, William had already reached a hand out, as if waiting for him to give him something.

The corners of Moses’ lips twitched. He didn’t believe that William could see through his identity. However, he kept feeling as though he was being tricked, so he asked directly, “How did your Highness find out that I own the inheritance knowledge for soul magic?”

He couldn’t bring himself to rage at William directly. But what exactly had he agreed to?

Why didn’t he know about it…

Although William was very scared, he still continued his act. “I think you should know where I got my information from, especially about why you are here.

“Besides, I’m the lord. I’ll protect your fortune-telling shop in the future!”

Moses thought for a while, as if thinking of something, before he threw the black cat to the side and said decisively, “It’s not that I cannot help you. However, you have to promise me one thing and I’ll teach you the most complete soul magic inheritance knowledge. If not, it’s very possible to have a skill less…”

William caressed his chin. “Tsk, you still have a condition. But feel free to say, what is your condition?”

“I don’t have one for now!” Moses told him to wait patiently as he returned to his bedroom. There were some sounds before he took out a new magic scroll and put it on the table.

William glanced at it…

There was no question.

This was a soul magic inheritance scroll that had just been made.

It was named Saint Soul Magic!

And the name of its creator…
