Purgatory Artist-Chapter 145: The Lost Book
Chapter 145 - The Lost Book
"We're here."The green dragon stopped on the vast plain and told the people on its back.
They all jumped down from the dragon's back.
"This place isn't too far away from the human city, according to the rules, I've fulfilled my promise to you." The green dragon looked at Andrea.
Andrea yawned and waved her hand: "Let's g.o"
The green dragon nodded, quickly jumped into the void of space and disappeared in front of them.
It was now that Andrea returned to Liu Ping's back and muttered: "I can't hold on any longer, I want to go back and sleep ..."
Poof!
She turned into a mass of fog and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
As soon as she disappeared, the green dragon reappeared from the void of space.
"Youngster, the address you gave me is correct" the green dragon excitedly said.
"Of course it is" Liu Ping replied.
"Then, the deal between you and me is considered complete."
"What kind of deal?"
"You answer my question, and I'll send you safely to this human city." After the green dragon finished speaking, it stretched out its claws and snapped its fingers.
On top of a mountain a thousand miles away from where they were.
At the outpost they passed by before.
The evil creatures were still guarding this place, carefully observing their surroundings.
Inside a tent, there was a piece of paper with wet handwriting on it on the table, a series of constantly changing words were written on it.
When the green dragon snapped its fingers, all the words on the paper suddenly froze.
The paper was written in human language: "Be careful! Four humans have just passed by here, heading towards the Southwest direction of the mountain. They are constantly moving forward on the vast plain and will soon reach the human city on the West side of the mountain range. If you want to know their exact location, please summon me using the incantation below, provided that you pay enough "
Hoh — —
The paper suddenly burst into flames and quickly turned to ash, and none of the devils noticed this.
On the plain.
The green dragon stared at Liu Ping: "I originally wanted to earn a bit of money, but I didn't think you'd give me such a valuable secret, so I've decided to help you all the way."
It looked towards the city, took a deep breath, then abruptly let out a high-pitched screech.
The city was instantly alerted. Quite a few soldiers began to gather.
There were even a few existences with powerful auras who were alarmed. They rose into the sky and flew over.
"Your people are here. Goodbye." Green Dragon said to them.
It slowly entered the void of space and disappeared in front of everyone.
"What does it mean?" Libertas asked.
"I'm not sure." Liu Ping shrugged.
"But as soon as it left, the tension in my body disappeared. It was as if everything was protected and I was no longer in danger." Hua Qingkong said.
"I have the same feeling." Xiao Mengluo nodded.
Liu Ping thought for a moment and said, "The Dragon Clan is greedy. I just gave it a valuable secret. I'm sure it's satisfied and won't cause any trouble. That's why you have such a feeling."
At this moment, several black figures descended from the sky.
"Who are you people?" A golden-haired man in the lead asked.
Libertas took out a finger-sized metal cube and said, "Please use the War Sequence to read it."
The golden-haired man looked at him doubtfully, then took the metal cube and pressed it into the void of space, saying: "Read!"
The void of space split open and a few metal pipes reached out and stuck the metal cube. He said in a cold tone:

'[Begin reading.]'
...
Half an hour later.
In a castle.
"We're obviously heroes. I don't understand why they put us under house arrest."
Libertas complained.
"This matter is too serious. They won't believe us easily before they confirm it." Hua Qingkong said as he took a sip of coffee.
"Yes, let's eat first" Xiao Mengluo said.
The table was full of food, sumptuous and delicious. The surroundings were luxurious and grand.
The waiter stood in the distance. With just a glance, he would come over and ask what they wanted.
Liu Ping walked out from a side hall and sat down at the table.
"How was it?" Xiao Mengluo asked.
"They asked some questions, and I answered them all."
"I saw a few guys in mage robes enter just now. These guys are best at detecting lies. It seems that they still don't believe us," Hua Qingkong said.
"I should have passed the lie detector. After all, I'm telling the truth." Liu Ping shrugged.
A voice came from afar:
"That's right. You're telling the truth. The army has been fully mobilized and will be working with the other cities as well."
They all looked over.
A group of people came out from the side hall and hurriedly walked through the corridor towards the outside of the castle.
The blond man in the lead told them: "From now on, you can move freely in this castle, but it's best if you don't run outside. This is to ensure your safety."
"Rest well tonight. After we reclaim Frost Wind City, I'll come find you again."
Before he even finished, the blond man had already left the castle, bringing the group of people into the sky and quickly left.
"Liu Ping, do you think they can reclaim Frost Wind City?" Xiao Mengluo asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. I've only been in Evernight for a short while, so I don't know how strong the humans are." Liu Ping said.
"Me too," Libertas said.
The three of them paused and looked at Hua Qingkong.
"I've only been here a year earlier than you — — alright, I think we can reclaim it because the evil creatures have already failed their mission. They won't be able to find that infant with royal bloodline, so there's no benefit in keeping Frost Wind City" Hua Qingkong said.
"That makes sense, we don't need to worry about that. Let's just eat and rest." Liu Ping suggested.
They ended their conversation and began to seriously eat.
— — -after such a long battle, everyone was exhausted.
While the servants were cleaning up the table, the four of them were led upstairs and assigned to their own rooms.
"Everyone, see you tomorrow." Libertas yawned.
"I also need to rest for a night, I've used up too much energy." Hua Qingkong said.
The two of them opened the door and went into their rooms.
Bam!
The door closed.
Xiao Mengluo glanced at Liu Ping and hesitantly said: "Liu Ping, if you can't sleep, you can come and talk to me."
"I'm already so tired that I can fall asleep as soon as my head touches the pillow." Liu Ping said.
"Alright, another day then." Xiao Mengluo smiled at Liu Ping and went into her room.
Liu Ping stood at the door for a while before entering his own room.
He closed the door.
He immediately took out a Card.
— — -Rock of Nothingness.
A line of text appeared on the Card:
[When it's convenient, you can use this Card. I will come and talk to you about the current situation]
Liu Ping threw the Card out.
Bam!
The Card turned into a mass of fog.
The entire world disappeared, and what followed was an endless river of stars.
Billions upon billions of stars gathered together to form a huge head. It looked down at Liu Ping and spoke with a heavy voice: 「 I didn't think you would be able to break through the shackles of time and return to 5 years ago 」
「 This is something that shouldn't have happened in Purgatory. Even outside of Purgatory, only a few people would be able to do it 」
Liu Ping replied: "It was a lady from the Samsara who helped me."
「 Then what about now? How do you feel after returning to 5 years ago? 」 the star head asked.
Liu Ping sighed and spoke with a confused tone: "In truth, I only returned to 5 years ago to save the people around me. I don't know what's going on with this Empire of Evernight, after all, I'm not originally an Evernightian."
「 A change of world ownership ... so that's how it is, you've already become a person of Evernight 」 the star head muttered.
"That's right, I'm completely blind right now, I don't know anything, isn't that a joke?" Liu Ping shrugged.
「 — — -There's no need to know too many secrets, that would be very dangerous for you. You only need to know that you've obtained a rare opportunity 」 the star head told him.
"What opportunity?" Liu Ping asked.
「 Do you still remember? When you met me 5 years later, the Divinities of Purgatory had already begun to fall 」
"I do"
「 That was the beginning of an upheaval between Purgatory and Evernight, no one could avoid it ... but when you faced that calamity, you suddenly gained another 5 years of buffer time, do you know what that means? 」
"I'll have a chance to quickly increase my strength?"
「 Not only that, everything related to you has changed, even I've obtained a chance, and from it, I've obtained a greedy dragon ... 」
While the star head was talking, the [Rock of Nothingness] card hovered in front of Liu Ping's eyes.
There were now 3 more grooves on the card.
One of the grooves was filled with a dark green color, upon closer inspection, the dark green color was actually a dragon!
"... A green dragon?" Liu Ping was in disbelief.
「 That's it, it has already filled the surface of this [Rock of Nothingness] card, providing this card with power 」
The card flew back into Liu Ping's hand.
The star head continued: 「 When you find the other two unique entities, I'll place them into the grooves 」
"Why would you do that?" Liu Ping asked.
The star head replied: 「 Of course, it's for the Trio of Fate — — you've already answered the first of its questions, there are only two left 」
「 And this [Rock of Nothingness], if it absorbs enough power, will protect you, ensuring that when you reveal new secrets, there won't be any issues 」 As soon as it said that, countless stars descended from the sky and gathered to form a book in front of Liu Ping.
「 I've said it before, if you help me, I'll give you a satisfactory reward — — - 」
「Take this book.」
「 Before the all-encompassing storm arrives, you have 5 years to grow, this book will help you 」
After the great being finished speaking, he smiled at Liu Ping. Then, it's entire head exploded and turned back into the stars that filled the sky.
All the supernatural phenomena slowly faded away.
At the very next moment.
Liu Ping felt himself standing in the room again.
A thick book covered in dark blue light appeared in his hand.
Liu Ping looked down.
Lines of burning text quickly appeared in front of his eyes:
[This is a gift that would satisfy anyone.]
[You've obtained the legendary item: The Book of the Lost Knights]
