After touching it around, it seemed that there was nothing, only something cold and slippery, maybe a snake or a frog, or maybe a lizard that had found a new home.

Just as Thor was about to give up and leave, he suddenly touched a cold object in the corner, which seemed to be buried by the collapsed earth, and only a small part of it was exposed.

I flicked my finger and it felt like a hard box with faint edges and corners.

Thor frowned, gripped the box, and shook his arm back and forth vigorously.

When the dirt around the box loosened, he pulled the entire box out of the ground floor.

At first glance, Thor could tell that it wasn't a box, but a book made of stone, maybe a diary or something, because it looked like a book in size and thickness.

To be precise, the thick stone of the book is hollowed out from the middle to make it feel like a book cover.

There is nothing on the cover that is bare, but the workmanship of the book cover itself is very fine, and even the edges are carefully polished into rounded corners.

There were no paper pages in the book cover, only two thin stone slabs stuffed inside, and I think only these pages made of stone could fight against the years a little longer.

"Crackle~"

Before Thor could satisfy his curiosity, the sound of a dead branch breaking could be heard in the darkness not far away, and it seemed that Claude's rotten creature had his eyes on him again. Thor didn't hesitate any longer, took the book in his hand, turned and ran away.

He ran far away before he came to a stop with his back against the trunk of a tree.

Looking down expectantly for a moment, Thor shook out a page or a piece of stone, not knowing what kind of story it would bring.

As soon as he glanced at it in his hand, Thor felt a strange and evil aura rushing over his face.

A pentagram magic array was drawn on the stone tablet with an engraved technique, that is, a pentagram with a circle on the outside, and an unknown ancient text in the star.

The reason why I feel evil is because I don't know what kind of paint this magic circle is painted with, and the strange thing is that after so many years, this paint can actually resist the erosion of time, and it is still bright red as blood today.

And after staring at it for a little longer, Thor faintly had a feeling that blood was flowing on the stone chips, and those vine-like flame patterns on the main frame of the magic array also made the entire magic array seem to be turning.

He hurriedly shook his head, withdrawing his consciousness from the strange attraction.

Pentagram?

Thor didn't know much about the magical realm, but he vaguely remembered which book he seemed to have read it in.

The six-pointed star represents symmetry and order, and is often used in most magic circles. The pentagram, on the other hand, represents independence and chaos, and is said to be widely used in evil black magic.

Putting the stone chip aside in his hand, Thor shook out another stone chip from the book cover.

This piece is much more normal, at least it is the text he is familiar with.

"Whoever you are, if you see my message on the tombstone, thank you for listening to my trivial story. ”

"After all, in this vast world, our lives are like dust in a chimney, after a short and humble burn, there is no longer even a little value left. Even if you're not humble, you're just a slightly larger Mars. ”

"Today, when I have embraced the gods, Claude, my husband, he may still be alive, right?"

"If, at any time, you have listened patiently to my story, and think that Claude has paid the penalty for his sins and deserves redemption, then please light a candle at the five sharp corners. ”

There are so many words on the stone tablets, and the content is not complicated.

However, after reading it, Thor was not very interested.

Can a woman really be so ruthless in her deep despair? Does Claude really commit a sin that cannot be redeemed even by death? Can she be reduced to an immortal monster that will never rest in the infinite time.

For this couple from hundreds of thousands of years ago, and this unpleasant story, Saul has no intention of judging who is right and who is wrong.

He doesn't think he's a great person, and he doesn't want to judge anyone for some reason.

Not to mention that after lighting the candle yourself, who knows what will happen.

Claude is redeemed by then, but who knows if he will be the next Claude, or Claude's replacement?"

Just as his thoughts were flowing, Thor suddenly stood on end with hairs all over his body, and he almost jumped up in fright when he tilted his head violently.

The rotten Claude was standing three or four paces away from him, quietly watching himself.

His one-arm that was always flat and wanted to break someone's neck hung down weakly, his rotten expression seemed to be a little nervous, and his black hole seemed to have some expectation in it.

Damn, how did I see the anticipation in his two eye sockets that didn't even have eyeballs?

And how did this guy approach himself silently? And this rotten guy doesn't attack him, what the hell is going on with this human scene?

Thor soothed his pounding heart, and he felt the whole thing be weird from start to finish.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Thor tried to communicate.

"Uh......h Belch. Claude's response was a little sluggish.

Apparently overthinking, Thor shook his head speechlessly.

"You just wait for me here, don't go away, I'll go back and get a few candles. After throwing down these words, Thor pointed to the magic stone shard that was placed on the ground, and turned to leave.

Thor finally decided to give this matter an ending, and did what he could.

Curse or something should not be able to curse a stranger who has never known each other across time and space, if this power is really so weird and powerful, then what kind of wars were fought between countries during the Old Kingdom, just sit at home and curse someone else's king to death.

Returning with the candles, under Claude's gaze, Thor lit them one by one with some nervousness, and erected them at the sharp corners of the pentagram.

When the fifth candle was left at the end, he took a deep breath.

Quickly press the candle to the target location, and then Thor instantly rolls backwards, so that no fireball from flying out of the slate and smashing it in the face.

When he turned around, he saw a woman's shadow appear in the sky above the magic circle on the stone tablet, and she should be the woman in the story.

"Hello, ma'am. Saul tried to say hello to set the stage for the conversation that would ensue.

But the woman didn't pay any attention to Thor, and didn't seem to pay attention to the restless Claude in front of her, her gaze staring straight ahead, as if landing in the distant wilderness.

Thor realized that she must have been dead for years, and that it was impossible for this time-traveling magical projection to respond and interact with her.

"Claude, have you recognized the evil deeds you have committed, and have repented all the time of time?" the woman's phantom suddenly spoke, her eyes staring straight ahead, not knowing what she was staring at.

"Confession...... Repent, I ...... Repentance......" Claude said excitedly.

With his mouth slightly open, Thor was shocked, and this guy Claude actually spoke. He couldn't imagine how this guy with a rotten throat and no lungs could make a sound.

Thor suspected that no matter who the woman's phantom was facing, it would say the same thing. The conversation didn't look like a successful interaction at all, and perhaps only Claude himself was thrilled there.

In the end, though, Thor just stood aside with his hands in his hands, not bothering the couple. For this couple, he is just an outsider after all.

In the next question and answer between the woman and Claude, Saul did not participate and listen anymore, but fell into his own thoughts.

It wasn't until the end that the woman's phantom mentioned something related to Thor.

"Will you be loyal to your Redeemer and fight for him until you die in battle?" asked the woman emotionlessly.

"I ...... Willing...... Stand ...... Oath until death...... Fang Xiu. Claude raised his remaining arm and pressed it against his chest, which had long since lost his heart.

After a period of silent waiting, the two pieces of magic stone, along with the strange colorless flames on the book cover, finally burned into powder, and the woman's phantom gradually faded away.

Thor was speechless, he had wanted to bring the stone tablets back for his collection. It seems that as long as something is stained with the word magic, it has to burn something every time to finish.

Claude limped over to Thor.

Thor scratched his head a little, what is the matter with you following me?

He never thought he needed any henchmen, and Claude didn't seem to have any special means of attacking other than fighting off. And this guy has just been freed with great difficulty, and he has to fight for his own life and death, which is a bit cruel.

What's more, Claude wouldn't even be able to go to town if he followed him, and if he dared to run around with this rotten fellow, he would definitely be caught and burned at the stake in the Inquisition as a typical example of evil.

"Go back to your grave first, and I'll come to you if I need help. Thor waved his hand.

Claude didn't react, just silently watched Thor with his two eye sockets, and Thor strode and he limped behind him.

After walking in silence for a while, Thor finally stopped and sighed slightly.

"You're free, go, go live a new life, or...... Rest in peace. Thor waved at Claude again.

"Self-...... by "

"Free ......"

"Freedom, !!"

Claude suddenly spread his remaining arms, as if to embrace the sky, and raised his head to let out a terrible cry, which spread far into the wilderness. Then his entire body suddenly burst and fell apart into a cloud of carrion.

After meeting Thor, this sad soul finally found eternal peace.

The whole scene was obviously a little disgusting, but Thor just watched in silence, inexplicably feeling a sense of tragedy.

Where Claude fell, a black demon soul deeper than darkness swayed in Thor's gray vision.
