Chapter 1359: Chapter 596: Let Divinity Fly for a While

[You turn around and walk along the path by the roadside into the mountains...]

[You suddenly see a familiar Green Lamp flickering on and off by the side of the road ahead. You haven’t mistaken it, this is a Soul-inducing Lamp left by the Fool’s Ancestors! Do you light it?]

"Oh?"

Mu You was pleasantly surprised. It seems that the Fool’s Ancestors had been here before and even specifically set up a Soul-inducing Lamp.

This would make things much more convenient, as lighting the Green Lamp would allow him to come and go at any time.

[You lit the Soul-inducing Lamp in front of you.]

[The Soul-inducing Lamp automatically detected another Soul Lamp within the vicinity, leading to the City of Dawn, and now you can teleport between the two lamps at any time. Do you wish to go to Dawn City immediately?]

"No."

There is nothing to do in Dawn City now, so I will have a look around the Crow Tribe first.

[Leaving the Soul-inducing Lamp, you continue down the mountain while observing the surroundings with the Fog-breaking Mirror.]

[You soon discover that this dangerous range is made up of twenty-four isolated peaks connected to each other with iron chains, each presenting a nearly ninety-degree steepness, ploughing straight into the sky like swords.]

[However, each isolated peak varies in height. The dangerous peak you are on now is the second highest surrounding peak. The tops of the other peaks are tens to hundreds of meters below your current one. Each peak’s plateau is filled with various sizes of plantations and buildings, with smoke curling up, indicating that most buildings are occupied by living creatures.]

[At the periphery of these dangerous peaks, there is an exceptionally abrupt high peak towering lonelily thousands of meters away, far exceeding the height of the peak you’re on, reaching upward into the clouds. Even with the Fog-breaking Mirror pushed to its observational limit, you cannot see the summit...]

At this point, the text briefly describes the situation of the tribe, in a nutshell, there are twenty-four peaks and each mountain top forms a small village connected by ’iron chains,’ and it seems quite stylish.

[You walk down the mountain, quickly reaching the top of another dangerous peak via a simple suspension bridge made up of several iron chains and wooden planks.]

[This is the closest hub of living beings to you. The plateau on the mountain top is rugged, the roads are complex, and large and small houses are scattered among them. Most of the houses have wooden plaques hanging from the roofs with crow head carvings, indicating the homeowner’s name and identity.]

[Within the village, you can vaguely see many creatures with wings on their backs and bodies of crows. In the sky, now and then, some crows fly by, cawing, landing on the roadside, morphing into Crow People and swaggering into and out of buildings.]

[Aside from the Crow People, many other races have settled in the village, such as Hawk Demons, Blue Skinned Lizards, Rock Rabbit People, and so on, with varying degrees of power but all are intelligent races capable of communicating in the language of the Divine Race.]

[On the wooden signpost at the entrance of the village, written in the crooked script of the Divine Race are a few lines of text.]

["Welcome to the Divine Palace Mountains’ Crow Tribe. Upon entering our territory, you must adhere to the following two rules."]

["First, the goal of the Crow Tribe is to create a peaceful commercial platform for all races. Within the confines of the tribe, fighting, theft, and robbery of others’ property are strictly prohibited. Violators, depending on the severity of their actions, will be warned, expelled, or arrested by the Crow guards."]

["Second, all transactions must be conducted on-site. Cash and goods exchange hands at the same time; defaulting, deceiving, or forcing a sale are not permitted. Vendors who violate the principles of honesty will be forcibly expelled from the tribe and permanently banned from entering other Crow Tribe territories."]

[After entering the village, many of the weirdly shaped villagers curiously looked at you. Seeing your short stature and frail appearance, they whispered and pointed at you as if they were scrutinizing an alien...]

"Alien..." Mu You found this description a bit bizarre.

Of course, they smuggled up from another world; being called aliens is not exactly a mistake.

Back to the matter at hand, the tribe is more thriving than he had imagined. According to the text, at least tens of thousands of creatures live within this mountain range, all of them intelligent beings capable of peaceful interaction. This is quite rare in a world full of crises and wild beasts.

["What do I see? A Fool!!" While wandering among the crowd, a surprised voice suddenly rose nearby.]

[Turning your head, you see a Crow Man standing by the road, with a black cloth laid out beneath his feet and some goods arranged on it, clearly a Crow trader.]

[The Crow trader is looking at you with surprised and eager eyes and beckoning you over to check out his wares. You choose...]

[Ignore],[Approach and chat].

Between the two options, Mu You chose to approach and chat. This Crow Man calling out the name ’Fool’ suggests that he must have had interactions with Fool’s Ancestors in the past.

["Do you know of the Fool?" You can’t help but step forward and ask.]

["Of course, I’ve done business with many Fools before... But that was over a thousand years ago, and I haven’t seen a Fool since. I always thought your kind had gone extinct. I never expected to see the descendants of the Fool today..." The Crow trader took a surprised look at you, quickly regained his salesman’s smile, and started introducing his goods to you.]

["Since you are a descendant of the Fool, that makes things easier. Come on, come take a look at my wares! I used to be known as the ’most honest trader’ among the Fool’s Ancestors. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your ancestors. The goods I sell are always of great quality and reasonable prices. I guarantee you won’t be shortchanged in a deal with me..." The Crow trader talks a mile a minute as he goes through his items for you one by one.]
