Legends also says that one who can short out the secrets of this book can gain godhood. A legendary treasure left by gods.]

"It is really amazing, If I can decode this book then I can awaken my god bloodline and can evolve my soul and body" The thought flood out in Karthik's head and a silent smile spread all over his face. He pick up the book and then said "Mr guard, I think I found what I am looking for all this years."

Udit looked at Karthik's hand and replied "Don't you want anything else? this book is of no use to anyone, just a piece of crap"

Karthik put that book in his Virtual inventory and said confidently "I think it's enough for me. Afterall a treasure like this can't be of use to humans. A treasure made for divine creatures."

Udit felt arroagnce in Karthik's words and he just ignored it and moved ahead. After this Karthik came out from castle and summoned his thunder beast. He sat over it and started riding.

Sophiala kingdom - main adventurer captial,

The hall is full of people from many guilds and clans where the five major one are sitting on their chairs. They are waiting for Karthik to come but soon a messanger arrived and said "Hail to lords. I received a message from lord Karthik and he mentioned that he will not join meeting today. Just like always you have to start without him"

After giving the message the messanger left and one of those lords arrogantly said "What he thinks of himself. He is just a adventurer like us but still he treat us like we are on his mercy. I hate this kind of people who didn't follow time and didn't care about it.".

Hearing his word the head of five lords Lord Santhu replied "Rules is only for humans, the thing that makes difference between us is our race. He a Demi-god and we are just humans. Strength and talent is with him since his birth but we did hard work to get this strength and talent. And after all the rules were made by humans and no matter it is right or wrong the races above to human race will never follow those rules. Just you said earlier it's better if he is not here."

The third lord who was a middle aged woman with smooth skin and looks like a lady who's age is nearly twenty five or six at most. She was the only mage in the chamber of lords.

She started spinning her magic brush and said "Its been long time since I have seen him, I want to see him once again."

The forth lord that is also a swordsman said "Why we are wasting time in talk ls related to that trash. Let's start the today's meeting. I am in hurry because my maids were waiting for me."

The third lord said "Are you not feeling enough even after spending the whole week with your concubines."

"Its not my fault. Whenever I think of you I gets turned on and can't wait to have a female touch. Why not you agree to my request and we can have a lot and a lot of fun beneath same blanket" He started flirting with her and she also started flirting but suddenly the head of lord hit the table and fiercely said "Stop showing your perverted side in front of me if you both want to live. It's your last warning."

The third lord stood up and goes near him, she leans and goes closer to his ears and whispered "You are looking jealous, then why not you come to my house in night for a drink."

The head of lords then said "Looks like you want to not live anymore."

After hearing this harsh words the third lord came back to her seat and then they started meeting over upcoming war. In the meeting they discussed about the possibility of demon army's formation and attack methods and also discussed how to counter them and stop them.

At the other side in bar Karthik is sitting over a table and drinking beer while watching the dancers dancing on stage.

"That book actually really like trash until I found the heart of knowledge. Today is the last day in Sophiala and tomorrow is a new mission. Life is going well." He got up from seat and started walking out from the bar and passed by Rose and Lisa who are investigating for a person.

After asking some people they both sat over the same table and Lisa swipe down her mask and said "We are looking for that guy since last eight years but still no clue of him."

"You forgot what she said, the hell hound was killed in the forest of Sophiala. That means he must be somewhere nearby." Rose pick up the beer mug and suddenly noticed something.

"Lisa, did you notice something?" She asked with questioning look and Lisa shrugged and said "I didn't notice anything here."

Rose then stopped a waitress and asked "Do you guys sell this beer here?"

The waitress then nodded in no and said elegantly "No, we didn't sell beer here, Only wine is available here."

Rose then thank her and then that waitress left and then Rose said "Lisa, you will not believe but this beer can help us to find that guy. You remember the place where we found that hell hound's blood samples, I also found there a broken bottle of beer. And the smell was same like this one."

Lisa then put on her mask and both started walking out from bar and unfortunately Karthik already noticed them. When they both came out suddenly Karthik uses his blood god skill and knocked out them both.
