Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)

Chapter 2751 Maulwurf

Zeke immediately started to communicate with Fortuna. "Fortuna, what on earth is this spirit pill?"

To his frustration, Fortuna did not answer his question. Instead, it unhinged its jaw and chomped on the spirit pill. "Let me eat it! Don't let it go to waste! It's going to vaporize!"

After a brief moment of hesitation, Zeke handed the spirit pill to Fortuna in hopes that Fortuna would be able to recall more information upon eating the pill.

With only two or three bites, Fortuna devoured the spirit pill. All of a sudden, its demeanor appeared more powerful and fearsome, reflecting the intense surge of its energy.

Upon witnessing the pill in effect, Zeke seized the opportunity and asked, "Fortuna, do you remember any extra information? Where does the spirit pill come from? What's it for?"

Burp!

Fortuna merely burped in reply.

Zeke was rendered speechless.

Did I just get silence in return for the spirit pill?

However, what happened next shocked Zeke to the core.

After the burp, Fortuna breathed out a flame of raging fire.

It was clear that the fire was no ordinary fire. The heat from the fire was much more intense than a normal fire, so much so that the temperature in the room skyrocketed to almost seventy degrees Celsius. It was so hot that Scar Face and the others burned themselves on the spot.

Fortunately, Zeke had long achieved Steel Physique, allowing him to withstand the extreme heat without getting injured.

Just then, Ossa Dei gasped. “The fire seed! This is the fire seed! This has to be the lost fire seed!"

The fire seed!

Zeke immediately turned his attention to Ossa Dei. "Ossa Dei, how do you know that the fire Fortuna is breathing out is the fire seed?"

Ossa Dei pointed. "Look at the weapon you're making."

Without wasting a second, Zeke looked at the divine weapon he was making.

The divine weapon that he was forging was stuck at the low-grade Black Level. It was only one step away from becoming a high-grade Black Level weapon, which was to be refined by the fire seed.

As Zeke looked at the divine weapon at that moment, he noticed that the divine weapon had advanced slightly and was still advancing at high speed.

It had advanced from low-grade Black Level to middle-grade Black Level. There was a high possibility that it would advance to high-grade Black Level or even to ultra-grade!

Zeke was beyond excited.

"Just now, when Fortuna breathed fire, a small part of the flame landed on the divine weapon. Ever since then, the divine weapon has been advancing. So, don't you think that Fortuna breathed out the fire seed?" Ossa Dei commented.

"The fire seed! It has to be the fire seed!" Zeke exclaimed excitedly.

"Come on, divine weapon. Keep advancing. Become a high-grade Black Level weapon or even an ultra-grade weapon! Who would have thought that the spirit pill is a source of the fire seed..."

The two of them kept their eyes locked on the divine weapon in hopes that it would reach high-grade Black Level.

Yet, in the end, disappointment filled both their hearts. The divine weapon ultimately stopped advancing, remaining as a middle-grade Black Level weapon.

On the bright side, even though there was not much progress, they had at least gotten the hope of finding the fire seed.

Beaming with anticipation, Zeke turned to look at Fortuna. "Fortuna, give us a little bit more of the fire seed. Just a little will do."

To his dismay, Fortuna merely looked at him with a blank stare. "The fire seed? I told you that I don't know anything about the fire seed. Say, Zeke, what did I eat just now? Why is there a fragrance in my mouth? Do you still have some? I want some more."

Zeke was at a loss for words.

Looks like Fortuna has returned to its original clueless form.

Not giving up, Zeke turned his attention to Maulwurf.

Maulwurf must know the source of the spirit pill.

As long as Zeke could get his hands on enough spirit pills, Fortuna would be able to breathe fire seed again.

With his energy, Zeke sped up the circulation in Maulwurf's body, jolting him awake within seconds.

After regaining consciousness, Maulwurf looked around him and quickly realized what had happened.

Without wasting a second, he scrambled up from the floor and got ready to run.

However, Zeke focused a beam of energy on Maulwurf.

Instantly, Maulwurf seemed to be caught in a pile of glue, unable to move an inch.

"What's going on? Why can't I move? Who's behind this? Let me go. Let me go!" Maulwurf cried out in devastation. "Scar Face, do you believe that I'll report you to Commander Williams so that he'll punish you?"

While trying to flee for his life, Maulwurf did not notice Zeke.
