Chapter 569: Champion’s Den

After William and Chiffon had left the First Floor of Babylon, Xod had started to feel uneasy.

This feeling was very uncomfortable, so he decided to return to the Guardian Hall, where the other Guardians resided.

Each Guardian was tasked to become the administrator of a floor. Naturally, the floors that had already been conquered had “owners” who had made a contract with the Guardians after clearing their trials for the first time.

Among all the floors, the Genesis Floor which Xod supervised was the only exception to this rule. Since it was the floor that tested whether the challengers had qualifications to climb the tower or not, no ruling family could claim it as their own.

“Oogwei, I need your wisdom,” Xod approached a foot-long black turtle who was busy reading a book. “I want to use your Index.”

The turtle gave Xod a side-long glance before casually flipping the page of its book. “That is Master Oogwei to you, Xod. What is it this time? I thought I told you to stop bothering me.”

The small turtle was the Guardian of the Third Floor of the Tower. Among all the guardians, he was the most well informed and knew many things about the multiverse they were currently in.

“I want you to check on how rare a Goblin Paladin is.”

“You and your fetish with Goblins. Scram and leave me alone!”

Xod coaxed the little turtle by promising to give it a bowl of lettuce. Oogwei reluctantly agreed to the green-skinned man’s request, after a bowl of lettuce was placed in front of it.

“What do you want to know again?” Oogwei asked as it summoned a black book in front of it.

Xod repeated his request about finding the rarity of the Goblin Paladin that he had seen earlier. The little turtle snorted and the black book opened by itself.

It stopped at a page where a Goblin, wearing dazzling armor, a sword, and a shield, was seen polishing its weapon.

“That scammer!” Xod shouted in anger. “He tricked me!”

Xod’s shout was so loud that Oogwei and the other Guardians looked at him with dumbfounded expressions. This was the first time they had seen their colleague act this way, and their interest was quite piqued.

“You got scammed?” Oogwei asked with a smirk. “Who scammed you? I want to meet that person.”

‘Oh, Sh*t!’

Xod had completely forgotten where he was and acted on impulse. The other guardians approached him as if they were paparazzi looking for juicy gossip.

Xod’s green skin wasn’t able to help him from turning beet-red out of shame and anger. He hastily returned to his own Domain to escape the inquiry of his acquaintances, and to think of a way on how to take his revenge on the Half-Elf that was currently out of his reach.

After seeing Xod leave, the smirk on Oogwei’s face widened as he shifted his attention to the book in front of it.

“Hack the visual records of the First Floor for the past 24 hours,” Oogwei ordered. “Find the reason why Xod became upset.”

[Understood.]

The pages turned and stopped on what seemed to be a war that was about to begin. Oogwei scruti
