Chapter 175: An Inexplicable Test



However, the mention of Spatial Stones piqued Enzo\'s interest.

Spatial Stones were necessary for repairing the tower, and since he hadn\'t found any in the Barren Mountain region, he was keen on the information Norma had.

"You want to know about Spatial Stones?" Norma asked.

"I need some Spatial Stones to repair something." Enzo said. He didn\'t reveal the existence of the High Tower, and Norma didn\'t seem interested in pressing further. Instead, she explained, "Spatial Stones are controlled by powerful royals. To obtain them, you have to buy them from them. Of course, if you can find a Spatial Stone mine in the wild, you could mine them yourself. But the chances of finding one are slim, and even if you do, someone might easily steal it from you given your current strength."

"So, the only option left is to—buy them."

Norma concluded. At the same time, Enzo felt troubled.

The price of Spatial Stones was too exorbitant, and accumulating enough money by selling his goods wasn\'t a viable solution.

At that time he began to understand Norma\'s perspective.

Seizing Spatial Stones from powerful royals would indeed be a convenient option.

At that moment, a commotion broke out in the tavern, interrupting Norma and Enzo\'s conversation.

Norma\'s expression darkened as she stood up.

The tavern, while appearing as a small stone house from the outside, was surprisingly spacious inside. It was divided into four areas, each accommodating nearly a hundred people, making it quite expansive.

The disturbance came from the right side of the area where Enzo was sitting.

It appeared to be a heated argument among a group of young people.

Seeing Norma stand up, the inebriated group staggered over, struggling to keep their eyes open.

One young man approached Norma and declared loudly, "Ms. Norma, I\'m in love with you!"

The tavern fell silent in an instant.

Norma merely smiled and said, "Mr. Charles, you\'re drunk."

Drunk Charles shook his head. "No, I\'m not! Ms. Norma, I swear by my family that my feelings for you are sincere! Please accept my love. I\'m willing to give you all my wealth!"

Norma bluntly rejected him. "Sorry, I\'m not interested in you!"

Charles remained undeterred, insisting, "Norma, I know you\'re saying this because someone is coercing you behind the scenes, right? Don\'t worry, I\'ll protect you!"

As Charles finished speaking, others around them stood up to watch.

However, no one dared to step forward and move Charles.

Compared to the enigmatic Norma, Charles was well-known as a talented member of the Blue Wolf Family.

While the Blue Wolf Family\'s influence wasn\'t as formidable as the major royal families, it was still a significant force.

The family was tightly-knit by blood, known for their fierce combat abilities, and their leader had connections with major powers beyond the Dark Night Forest.

Consequently, few dared to offend the Blue Wolf Family in the Dark Night Forest.

Even those of royal blood were the same.

Norma, hearing Charles\'s words, didn\'t appear angry in the Stone Tavern.

Norma\'s lips curled into a peculiar smile, and Enzo sensed danger. He instinctively tried to move away from her but found himself unable to, as Norma forcibly pulled him close.

To everyone\'s shock, Norma kissed Enzo right in front of Charles and the other patrons.

Enzo was completely immobilized, making it appear as though he was willingly participating in the kiss.

The entire tavern fell into stunned silence.

Norma then turned to Charles and said, "I already have someone I care about, so I can\'t accept you."

Charles, now sober, roared in heartbreak and fury, "No! This can\'t be real!"

He glared at Enzo with rage and declared, "I want to duel with you!"

At that moment, Norma stood up and shouted at Charles, "Charles, be quiet! Who do you think you are to challenge him? Get out of the tavern!"

Norma then called for the tavern staff, who promptly threw Charles out.

After dealing with Charles, Norma dragged Enzo upstairs.

Once there, she collapsed onto a bench, laughing uproariously. "Haha, this is so amusing! A young man in love discovers his beloved is already taken, and to top it off, he sees us appearing affectionate right in front of him."

"It\'s such a delightful story!"

"You agree, don\'t you, Enzo?"

Norma stood up, noticing Enzo\'s dark expression and evident displeasure.

Enzo, suppressing his anger, said, "Norma, that joke wasn\'t funny at all!"

Norma asked, "Don\'t you find it interesting?"

Enzo snapped, "Just shut up!"

Hearing Enzo\'s words, Norma was momentarily taken aback. No one had ever spoken to her like that before.

And it left her with a strange feeling.

Enzo took a few deep breaths to calm himself and then asked Norma, "Who exactly is that Charles?"

Norma replied, "He\'s a member of the Blue Wolf Family, and a particularly talented one at that. Unfortunately, he\'s not the sharpest tool in the shed. I\'ve turned him down many times, but he keeps bothering me at the tavern. Hopefully, with your help, he\'ll take the hint and stay away."

Enzo retorted angrily, "But you\'ve dragged me into this mess!"

Norma laughed lightly. "What\'s the matter? Are you afraid of a mere member of the Blue Wolf Family?"

This woman was completely unreasonable.

Fuming, Enzo sat down, deciding not to continue the conversation with Norma.

He was now certain that because of Norma\'s actions, Charles would likely hold a grudge against him.

Enzo hadn\'t expected to make waves in the Dark Night Forest.

Although he now had the strength of Level 6 and was not the lowest level in the Dark Night Forest, he was not the top group either. No matter what he did, being cautious was always right, but now the plan had been completely destroyed by Norma.

If only he could overpower her…

Despite his anger, Enzo could only mentally curse Norma.

Norma, holding a cup of blood-red liquid, sat down and said with a smile, "Try this."

Enzo didn\'t take the drink but asked seriously, "Ms. Norma, what exactly are you trying to achieve? I don\'t believe I\'ve offended you."

Norma took a sip of the crimson liquid and replied with equal seriousness, "Melissa holds you in high regard and hopes that I could assist you. Out of respect for Melissa, I\'ve chosen to trust you. However, I need to see your true potential. This was merely a cleverly designed test. While the Blue Wolf Family is powerful, with your strength, you still have a chance to overcome them."

Enzo sneered, "A test? And what do I gain from it?"

Norma stood up and opened a spatial portal. She gestured for Enzo to follow and said, "Come with me."

Enzo followed

He followed Norma through the portal and found himself facing an ancient palace.

The palace was surrounded by layers of golden force fields, each forming a protective barrier. On either side of the palace were small stone huts, which were now empty and seemingly stripped of their contents.

Norma then explained, "Inside the palace, there is a scroll of divine arts."

Enzo asked, puzzled, "Divine arts?"

Norma clarified, "In the Dark Night Forest, the classification of supernatural powers is similar to that in the barren lands, but the terminology differs. Those who gain supernatural abilities from supernatural creatures are called ordinary supernatural beings. Those who communicate with sacred places to gain totemic powers are known as inheritance users. This is a more specific classification."

"Moreover, supernatural abilities are also categorized."

"You may already know that some abilities can be learned."

"These learnable abilities are referred to as spells."

"Divine arts are spells possessed by deities."

"This is the most powerful type of magic, with an incredibly incredible power. Melissa said that with your talent, if you master the totems related to spatial abilities and acquire the corresponding talent, you have a great chance of obtaining this divine arts."

"I can\'t fully believe what Melissa said."

"So, before teaching you spatial abilities, I need you to pass this simple test."

Upon hearing this, Enzo\'s anger did not subside.

He coldly replied, "Then you should have told me beforehand."

"Told you?"

Norma\'s expression also turned cold.

Enzo felt the invisible force binding him again, making it difficult for him to move. Norma extended her slender finger and lightly traced Enzo\'s face, finally stopping at his lips, and contemptuously said, "Enzo, this is your first lesson! When your strength is insufficient, it\'s best to learn how to bow your head! Otherwise, even with Melissa\'s prior warning, I can make you die at any time! And this is the price of provoking a powerful person!"

These words completely enraged Enzo.

His eyes gleamed with multicolored light, and the moment the light appeared, the feeling of restraint disappeared.

Enzo grabbed Norma with both hands and forcefully threw her to the ground.

Although Norma was not injured, her own humiliation made her extremely angry. With a cold face and a deep voice, she said, "Rude fool!"
