Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 918 God-Chosen Scale

"Is there a thief?"

Kosasis, head held high, declared loudly, "Rest assured, sir, we will be on high alert and will not allow him to steal our books. If the thief ever appears, I will cut off his head and hang it on my spear to make jerky!"

"Haha, don't be so nervous."

The Shadow Baron chuckled, “Tell Shalin later that this thief is still useful, so it’s fine to let him steal the book. There’s just one book that we don’t know if this settlement has… Go look for it and destroy it beforehand.”

"Which book?" Kossachs asked.

"The Dark Moon Era, a rather unusual book. Go find it. If you find it, destroy it. Got it?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, you may leave. This projection has consumed a lot of magic; it's time to end it." The Shadow Baron's projection disappeared.

Kossachs turned and left, exiting the Great Hall and proceeding along the underground corridor to the library.

"Quickly, the Dark Moon Era!"

Bai Pu urged from the space where the Source Lord descended, "This book must be the codebook for deciphering the secret bottle! Find it!"

"Master, Mrs. Reese has taken the secret bottle. We don't have that string of numbers now..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I've already written down the numbers. Go to the library now, find the book, and we'll start deciphering it immediately."

"Yes, Master."

However, when Kor'thas reached the corner of the corridor, he encountered several Naga.

The Naga at the front had dark blue scales, which contrasted sharply with the black and gray scales of the other two Rotscale Nagas.

The three Naga possessed a spirit and energy quite different from ordinary Naga. The latter two, the Rotscale Naga, like Kor'thas, were enhanced elites and Naga patrol captains.

The Naga with the dark blue scales in front was accompanied by two Naga captains, so...

"This is... Lord 'Shadowscale' from the Hunter Tide tribe?" Kosasis stared at the Naga with its deep blue scales.

"Korsasis, have you met the Shadow Baron?" the two Captains of the Rotscale said in unison. "Come and pay your respects to Lord Shaklin, he is a chosen one of the Great Lord."

"Greetings, Lord Shalin." Kosasis didn't want to linger and give away his secret. "The Shadow Baron has given me a mission... I must do it quickly."

"A mission? What kind of mission?" Lord Shalin showed an interested expression.

"Yes...yes, I'm going to the library to find a book."

"What book? The Shadow Baron shouldn't need the books from a mere small settlement. What did he ask you to do after you found this book?" Shalin's question was very pointed.

“It is… The Dark Moon Era.” Kosasith dared not lie casually and could only tell the truth. “He told me to destroy this book… A human will be coming to steal the book soon, and Lord Shadow Baron said that this is the only book that cannot be stolen by a human.”

Faced with the stares of Sha Lin and the other two, Kosasis dared not casually enter the Source Lord's Descent Space to ask Bai Pu for permission.

If his consciousness enters the Source Lord's Descent Space, he will appear very "dazed" in the outside world, which will arouse suspicion.

Therefore, when faced with Shalin's question, Kosasis could only consider his own response.

After hearing about the Dark Moon Era, Sha Lin nodded: "Alright, go ahead."

Kosasis breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took his leave, and headed to the library.

He felt like he had a thorn in his side; the scrutinizing gaze of the Scaled Dragon was constantly staring at his back, making his dorsal fin tremble with a shiver.

……

The books of the Naga race are made of a very special material, the same material as the "paper strips" in the Secret Message Bottle. They are both made of a kind of flexible fish skin, which makes it easy to turn pages and read in water, and they will not rot from soaking for decades or even hundreds of years.

In a corner of the library, Kosasis finally found the book "The Dark Moon Era." "Let's begin deciphering it," Bai Pu said.

"Master, should we secretly take this book away and tell Sha Lin and the others that it has been destroyed?"

Bai Pu flatly rejected the idea: "No way. Judging from your intuition, that voter named Sha Lin has already begun to suspect you. He's probably on high alert at the entrances and exits of the settlement now, you won't be able to escape. If this book is found, you're finished."

"Yes, Master is wise."

"Let's get started. Deciphering it here is risky, but less so than smuggling it out. First, turn to page 91, line 12, word 8..."

In the space where the Source Lord descended, Bai Pu recited that complex string of numbers, which Kosasis deciphered.

"It is 'human'."

"Turn to page 1, the second word in the first line."

"empire".

By searching and piecing together the words one by one, the first sentence of the secret message bottle was soon pieced together.

"The magic crystal cannons of the Human Empire fleet are extremely powerful..."

Just as they finished deciphering a sentence, a sound came from the doorway of the library.

"Korsasis! Haven't you found him yet?"

With these words, Shalin led two Corrupted Scale Naga captains into the library.

“Just…just found it,” Kossasis said.

"Really? There aren't many books here, why did you take so long?" Voter Shalin took a step closer, his eyes coldly fixed on Kosasis.

“I’m just interested in this book, ‘The Dark Moon Era,’ and I want to see what kind of book it is,” Kossasith said.

Kossachs was a little nervous, but not much.

Because Bai Pu said something in the space where the Source Lord descended.

"Buy time, wait for me!"

All we need to do is stall for time.

Shalin twisted its snake tail and circled around Kosasis once.

"Are you really Kossahsis? Why do I feel an uncomfortable sensation about you, as if there's an invisible spiritual connection between us..."

The two Corrupted Naga exchanged a glance and took turns asking Kor'thas questions, all about the details of the Corrupted Naga settlement.

Kosasis, of course, answered fluently. His full consciousness was preserved by Bai Pu.

"I am truly Korsasis himself."

After passing the test, Kosasis turned the tables and accused, "But Lord Shalin... please allow me to suspect that you might be the human thief that Lord Shadow Baron mentioned, impersonating a chosen one?"

Both of the Corrupted Scale Naga captains looked at Shalin.

"Ha ha……"

Sha Lin sneered:
"I wasn't quite sure if there was something wrong with you at first. But now I'm sure... your eagerness to question my identity means you're definitely being controlled!"

After a pause, Sha Lin spread his hands and said:
"Actually, proving I'm not a human thief in disguise is quite simple. The target is this book, isn't it? Destroy it as the Shadow Baron demands! How about it?"
