Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

Chapter 138 The Sin Stone

Asha'ruya sat down next to Mu Nujiao as if they were old friends, took Mu Nujiao's hand and smiled, "Sister, what's your name? Let's get to know each other. My name is Asha'ruya."

This was probably the first time Mu Nujiao had encountered such a warm and proactive older sister type of beauty, and she felt a little awkward for a moment: "I—my name is Mu Nujiao!"

Asha'ruya grinned mischievously and pointed at Zhang Chen, saying, "What's your relationship with him? I remember last time he—"

Zhang Chen interrupted him directly, saying, "Don't talk nonsense! Don't you dare try to get close to me!"

Asha'ruya retorted confidently, "What's your hurry! Why won't you let me continue?"

Zhang Chen was exasperated, barely suppressing the urge to punch her to death, and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Your tricks won't work on us, right, Jiao Jiao!"

As she spoke, she put her arm around Mu Nujiao. Mu Nujiao nodded and firmly shook off Asha Ruya's hand.

Asharuya secretly chuckled when she saw Zhang Chen getting anxious.

Hehehe, as expected, the way to deal with these kinds of scoundrels is to be even more scoundrel than them.

"Hahahaha!" Mo Fan burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

"What are you laughing at! I remember last time you were with a pair of twin sisters!"

Asha'ruya casually threw a bucket of dirty water at Mo Fan, who immediately became agitated: "What the hell are you saying! Spreading rumors and throwing dirty water!"

Turning to Mu Ningxue, he said, "Xuexue, don't believe this crazy woman! —"

Asha'ruya then turned to Zhao Manyan, who was staring at her, and said, "What are you looking at! You good-for-nothing spoiled brat! Look at me again and I'll have your brother dock your allowance!"

"You...you bitch!" Zhao Manyan cursed directly. Zhang Chen calmly replied, "Tell me where I can get Mind Stones recently! Then get the hell out of here!"

Asha'ruya shamelessly feigned a heartbroken expression, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Brother, you've really forgotten the old for the new. Don't you remember when we were in the ancient capital—"

Asha Ruya deliberately paused and stopped talking, whetting Mu Nujiao's appetite.

Before Zhang Chen could say anything, she feigned fear and said, "Fine! If you don't want me to say, then so be it. I do have a soul stone that you can obtain soon!"

"Speak quickly!" Zhang Chen said impatiently. She gave him a flirtatious sidelong glance, as if to say, "You rascal, why are you in such a hurry?" "You should know about the World National Championship, right? There's a treasure hunt event in the middle, isn't there?"

The group had just arrived and had no idea what was going on, so they all shook their heads.

Asha's sighed and explained simply, "Members from various countries will be teleported to the same space, which is full of resources."

"Although the location of the treasure hunt changes every year, as far as I know, this year's location is the same as the one thirty-two years ago. The treasure of that year was the Mind Stone, but because the demon guarding it was too powerful or too remote, no one has taken it yet!"

"Where exactly is it? Do you have a map?" Mo Fan asked. "Are you stupid?! How could this place allow maps? I don't know where it is either! It's just in that space!" Asha'ruya proactively removed her mind-controlling artifact. Zhang Chen nodded to everyone, then, without even glancing at her, said, "Alright, you can go now!"

"You're so domineering! I was supposed to be discussing business with Zhao Youqian, but you took our private room and now you want to—" Asha'ruya directly accused, "Shut up! Whatever! Get out or don't! Don't spread any more rumors about us, or I'll take control of you!"

Zhang Chen said irritably, "Hmph! I was just joking, sisters. It's all their fault for being so inhuman in Gudu! Come with me, I'll have a good talk with you, and you'll have to give me a piece of your mind!"

Asha Ruya snorted coldly, her tone tinged with grievance, and pulled Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao aside to whisper to each other.

Zhao Manyan was called in by his brother, and they began discussing how to sell the Commander-level demon materials in Zhang Chen's possession and the Warrior-level and Servant-level essences in Mo Fan's possession, in exchange for the mental artifacts, demon-slaying tools, and other resources they needed. As for Mu Nujiao, Zhang Chen wasn't afraid of what Asha Ruya might say that would affect Mu Nujiao. Zhang Chen and Mu Nujiao had been together for over a year and were already very familiar with each other's personalities. Zhang Chen guessed that Mu Nujiao was probably just curious about his experiences in the ancient capital.

At some point, Asha Ruya, along with Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue, began wandering around the St. Mark's Auction House.

Not far from the guest room is a very long exhibition corridor. The display cases in the corridor show various historically significant items, such as the first water-based magic tool and artifact. The earliest water magic was considered a forbidden art in the literature. The skull of Venice's most powerful water mage is also on display here.

They walked along the long corridor. There was no auction today, and the four of them were the only people in the entire exhibition corridor. Zhang Chen secretly followed behind them, wanting to see what kind of trouble this wicked woman was up to!

Looking at all these things imbued with magical essence, Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. He wondered if the world he originally knew was simply too small, or if all of this was more like a long dream. The magical civilization here was so long and ancient, so reasonable, yet so unbelievable.

Suddenly, the three of them saw a black pebble, about the size of a thumb, in a shop window. The pebble was crystal clear and beautiful, with some white dots on it, like dense stars in the night sky, creating an unusual and magnificent beauty.

Asha'ruya explained to them, "This is the Stone of Guilt. About twenty years ago, a beautiful and powerful woman, in order to prove that she had indeed cast her own stone, had this judgment stone displayed to show the world how impartial she was."

"The Stone of Sin!?" Mu Nujiao asked.

Asharuya nodded and said, "This is the judgment stone of the Holy Tribunal. Black represents guilt and white represents innocence. When the Holy Tribunal is to judge a very important person, it will convene the members of the Holy Tribunal Elder Council to conduct a Holy Trial on that person. If black is greater than white, then the person is guilty and will suffer a terrible disaster."

"About twenty years ago, during a sentencing incident, the black stone and the white stone happened to be tied. The goddess of the Temple of Radiance threw the black stone and sentenced her own brother to the crime."

"For this reason, she earned the reputation of being impartial and incorruptible. This black stone of impartiality is displayed here for people from all over the world to see on open days."

"Since the stones evenly matched, it means that what that person did wasn't exactly heinous or lawless. The color of the stones alone could change the fate and life or death of their loved ones, yet they ultimately chose black. Were the goddesses of the Parthenon somewhat cold-hearted?"

Mu Nujiao said, puzzled, "You think so too?" Asha Ruya couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You've disgusted me so many times. Seeing how rich you are, it's fair that you pay my fines!"

Thinking this, the power of shadow reached out and was about to touch the Sin Stone, but in the next second, a subtle spatial fluctuation came and it suddenly disappeared.
