Chapter 193: Soul Gloves
William returned to the city to complete his main task, storing all the magical stones in the storage vault. These magical stones would be provided to the professionals for their training.
The Marsh Flowers had to be carefully allocated. It would be given to only those who had reached level 69.
William used the teleportation portals and transported the 400 magical beasts to the warehouse!
Odom gazed at the frozen carcasses of the magical beasts and licked his lips. He said, "The legions will have a share of the meat. It's going to last them for quite a while. The magic provided by the magical beasts is more than enough for the legions."
"The real catch is the magical stones, country bumpkin!" William did not bother to explain. Odom was an exiled Dwarven prince, but he had forgotten about his heritage.
Odom did not know that William was vilifying him, and he just scratched his head. "The fortune-teller, Moses, wanted me to inform you to visit him later. He had something to say to you."
"Did he mention anything else?"
"No, my lord. How strong is he?" Odom was not a fool. William would always summon people to see him instead of the other way round, regardless of the person's status.
But when it came to Moses, William would always visit the fortune-telling hut to meet him.
Moses was also aloof to everyone, but Lord William treated him with respect. Hence, Moses must be very special and powerful.
William looked at Odom and caressed his golden hair. He disregarded the angry look in Odom and said, "The guardian sent by my father shall become the great enchanter!"
"Ah!" Odom gulped. The anger in Odom dissipated as his eyes lit up. He became full of respect for Moses.
William surveyed the environment and said in a hushed tone, "This is a secret. Only you and I know about it. Don't you divulge the secret? Moses has been my guardian since young. He is helping me to become stronger."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Odom nodded thrice and covered his mouth. He would not divulge the secret.
But just when William was about to leave to meet Moses.
Ding dong!
[Prompt: Odom Heavyhammer's affinity for you has reached 1,000 points. His loyalty is now 1,000 points.]
Humph!
William wriggled his brow. Would that remain a secret?
No. Since he already told Odom about it, William could tell the same thing to his other subordinates, who had 950+ loyalty. Then they would also attain 1,000 points of loyalty.
William was a master manipulator of the hearts.
One of the best examples of this was how he dealt with the chosen ones...
He told Lautner that it was a secret just between the two of them. But later on, William told the same thing to all his subordinates...
That was his trick!
But it was very useful!
Why was Moses looking for William?
Was Moses thinking of leaving?
Perhaps, Moses was thinking of visiting Stormy Island...
William could not figure it out and walked on the limestone pavement. He admired the scenery while the players curried favor to him. Then he entered the fortune-telling hut.
Creak...
William did not see Moses in the hut, but the black cat was sprawled on a chair.
When the cat heard the noise, its ears perked up, and it lifted its head. After glancing at William, it again sprawled on the chair and lazily waved its tail.
Oh! That was a cat doing sentry duty...
William walked to the cat and asked, "Where's your master?"
"Meow!" The cat pointed its paw at the door leading to the laboratory.
"Meow?" But then, the black cat was taken aback. What did William mean by saying Moses was its master?
William did not wait for the black cat to respond. He knocked on the laboratory door and entered.
Instantly, William's perspective was greatly expanded. He had entered a spacious and bright hall that was about 3,000 square meters. It was a grand laboratory.
William had seen such grandeur before, but he was still taken aback. He knew he had entered a new dimension.
Moses sat on a chair that floated in the air. He floated towards William and smiled as he asked, "Are you curious?"
"No!" William retorted. He had seen the laboratory before, but it was not that huge.
"Tsk, tsk. It's a pity. Do you want to read some books? I have 13,202 magical books!" Moses smiled as he waved. Countless thick magical books flew up from the shelves and floated around William.
However, Moses did not see William gape in astonishment.
William opened up his mouth and vomited!
It was a dry vomit...
It was extremely awkward in the large laboratory...
William tried to cough, but there was no vomit. He wiped off the saliva, and awkwardly smiled as he explained. "It's the new teleportation portal. I used it tens of times, so I'm a bit dizzy. With the books floating around me, I feel even dizzier...
"The large number of books made me recall my darkest moments."
"There is no need to explain. I know you're not interested!" Moses said coldly. Then he again waved, and the books returned to their original positions.
William felt helpless. The books reminded him of his high school examination. The mountainous piles of examination books made him feel great despair, and he wanted to vomit.

Moses did not feel like chatting. He wanted to immerse himself in the sea of knowledge.
Ten magical books appeared before Moses.
The books flipped the pages by themselves, and the pace was very fast.
Moses was enjoying himself. He had no problem reading ten magical books at the same time.
It was like reading novels to Moses. They were simple and did not require much thinking.
William wandered around the laboratory. When he used his insight skill, the most inferior magic materials were Mithril and Orichalcum. There was a lot of good stuff...
Did Moses rob an entire Magic Sanctuary?
If not, as an all-rounded Enchanter, how could Moses be so wealthy?
Moses was wealthier than a country!
"Oh, is that my Fire Dragon crystal?" William extended his hand to touch it.
Slap!
A bruising red palm mark appeared on William's right hand.
Moses appeared behind William and said in a solemn voice, "It's mine now."
"Yes, it's yours. It's all yours. Is that good?" William rubbed his right hand, and his eyes lit up.
Moses laughed coldly. "What? Thinking of using that Left Hand Of God? Try it. See if I can shatter it."
"How did you know?" William opened his eyes widely in shock. It was a great secret. William did not tell anyone about it.
"When you walked out of the teleportation portal, I had already felt it," Moses mysteriously said. It was not a big deal to Moses!
But Moses was very angry. When he had detected a God's aura, he thought that he was going to die. He had almost fled.
In the end, it was the fool William who obtained the hand of a deceased.
"What? Are you going to take it too?" William placed his left hand on his chest. He was afraid Moses would take it to do experiments.
Moses shook his head and said, "I'm not interested. I'm giving you a pair of gloves that will hide the Thunder God's aura. If not, when you encounter a powerful opponent in the future, he will definitely amputate your hand!"
As soon as Moses finished speaking, he snapped his finger, and a dimension was torn. A pair of snow-white gloves having golden laces appeared before William.
William swallowed hard as his wish had come true. He had thought of getting a gauntlet to hide his left hand. But he did not expect the Thunder God's aura to attract the attention of Moses.
Moses had helped him to solve this tricky issue!
"Thank you!" William kept the gloves and started to examine them.
[Soul Gloves]
[Position Level: None]
[Level: Epic]
[Glove Defense: 1,800]
[Creator: Moses Holyvein]
[Materials: Laces of the Saintly Soul, Mithril, and Elven stone.]
[Usage Requirement: Nil]
[Weight: 3.3 grams]
[Effect: Hide the God's aura.]
(Friendly Prompt: The gloves are light and silky smooth. They are created for a good pair of hands.)
"Done?" William was dazed. Was that it?
"The gloves don't have attribute bonuses. Actually, there should be some effects for the right-hand glove." William felt like scolding someone. Besides the defense bonus for the left hand, there were no other effects.
"The gloves are good stuff. Return them to me if you don't like them." Moses frowned. He had not created the gloves a few moments ago. Rather, they had been created long ago, and he had only enchanted them a few moments ago.
Moses was concerned that William would bring about his own downfall.
He knew William's nature. If William was not at his wits' end, he would not look for Moses for help.
But could William fight off the powerful opponents who could detect the God's aura?
"Let me remove the curse and become the great enchanter."
William did not know what Moses was thinking. He put on the gloves and said, "How can you take back things that you had given out?"
"Oh, it's quite comfortable and silky smooth." William examined the gloves carefully.
"It's a bit too feminine..."
Moses glared at William and pouted his lips.
William slowly shut his mouth. It did not matter whether it was feminine or not, as long as it was useful.
"Cough, cough. Is there anything else?"
"Get lost!"
"Whoa!" William sighed and walked out with his head lowered.
"Remember, don't tell anyone about your left hand. If some powerful opponent were to go after the Left Hand Of God, even if your missing dad returns, he will not be a match."
"Really?" William was in disbelief.
"Cut the crap!"
"What if he becomes a sage?"
Moses pondered quietly for two seconds and said, "I feel that he has a higher chance of becoming a specter. Shall we have a bet?"
William frowned. He did not want to bicker with Moses.
William was not a fool.
After obtaining the Left Hand of Thunder God, he wanted to keep it a secret.
But he had not realized the problem of God's aura.
Besides...
He did not have the ability to detect the aura. Even if he could, he did not have the resources...
Moses watched William leave the laboratory. He sighed and supported the chin with his left hand. He was in deep contemplation.
