Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2708

Scar Face said, “Actually, Theos has been searching for a kind of magical Spirit Stone. The thing he's looking for is called Heavenly Stone, and it is more potent than the Spirit Stone. The Nine Heavens Dark Iron refined from the Heavenly Stone has the potential of being forged into Earth Level or even Sky Level divine weapon. Theos was worried that members of Centuria would siphon off the Heavenly Stone for themselves after finding it, so he assigned me to monitor the situation. I believe I'm not the only person Theos has assigned this task to. There must be others like me scattered across every district on Theos Island and even beside the Camp North and Camp South Masters.”

Zeke frowned. “Heavenly Stone? Has anyone discovered any Heavenly Stone thus far?”

“We did come across two pieces, but small ones.”

“What happened to the two pieces of Heavenly Stone in the end?”

“I reported that matter to Theos, and he secretly took the Heavenly Stones away.”

“Oh. Has Draco never suspected you?”

“He didn't recognize the Heavenly Stones and merely assumed they were Spirit Stones with higher purity. Draco didn't care much about the stones and didn't look for them after they went missing.”

Zeke nodded pensively. The Nine Heavens Dark Iron refined from the Heavenly Stone can be used to forge Earth Level divine weapons.

At that instant, Zeke thought the Dark Level divine weapons he was smithing felt less impressive. Since I'm going to forge a divine weapon, why don't I make one that is stronger?

The next second, he made up his mind to forge an Earth Level divine weapon.

As for the Heavenly Stone, he had faith that he would eventually find it if he searched diligently.

Zeke probed further, “Since you are Theos' spy, you must've met him. Tell me, where did you meet him, and what does he look like?”

Scar Face looked troubled. “Well... things are not as simple as you imagine. In fact, I've never met Theos in person.”

Sole Wolf bellowed, “B*stard! How did you become Theos' spy and receive instruction from him if you haven't seen him before, then?”

Scar Face replied, “You may not trust me if I say this, but Theos talked to me in my sleep. In the dream, Theos told me I would become his private messenger from that moment onward. Any orders he gave me were the highest orders I have to follow, above commands from anyone else. Theos instructed me to keep an eye on Centuria. Once Centuria discovers any Heavenly Stone or acts strangely, I must inform him at once. If I don't comply, Theos will destroy my soul.”

Zeke knitted his brows. “It was just a dream? So why do you believe it to be true, then?”

Scar Face elaborated, “I also thought the whole experience was fictitious and just a dream after I woke up. However, I felt a pain in my arm. When I turned to look at it, I saw a new vague image of a divine talisman on my wrist. This divine talisman is peculiar. The talisman will create an intense searing sensation whenever I develop thoughts of betraying Theos. Once I eliminate the idea, the agony will dissipate.”

“What divine talisman is that?” Sole Wolf bore his eyes into Scar Face. “Let us take a look at it.”

Scar Face said, “You won't be able to see it. I'm the only person who can see the divine talisman. I've tried this with others, but none of them could see it.”

Zeke grasped Scar Face's wrist and examined his body thoroughly with his sensory faculty.

Scared out of his wits, Scar Face instinctively resisted. “W-What are you trying to do?”

Zeke scolded him, “Quit moving unnecessarily. I'm trying to feel something.”

Scar Face didn't dare to move an inch after being warned by Zeke.

Zeke scanned Scar Face's wrist meticulously and noticed a continuous stream of strange aura on his wrist. This strange aura is very similar to Theos'. It is very likely he made this divine talisman.

Scar Face uttered cautiously, “Mr. Williams, if you don't believe me, I can prove it to you.”
