Chapter 37: The Manuscript Succeeds!
The emotionally uncontrollable monster didn't even realize that someone in the hallway was watching his sacrifice the whole time.
This made him hardly make any effective defense against Zhu Jue's surprise attack, and just subconsciously raised his hand...... It's just a tentacle.
However, for Zhu Jue, who doesn't want to attract any attention and has the idea of killing with one hit, so even the mutation is activated, it can't play a slight obstruction role.
In order to make sure that nothing came out, this blow was the first time in a long time that Zhu Jue had exploded with all his strength.
The results speak for themselves.
Silver light flashed, and the gravel knife pierced through the monster's skull, and the frost sealed its head before it even slid into the flesh.
Zhu Jue deliberately retracted his strength at the end, so that the monster did not smash the wall and fly out because of the terrifying impact, but just froze in place, kneeling slowly on his knees.
"Why doesn't it grant your request?"
The silver hair and swollen body gradually returned to their original state, and Zhu Jue looked at the disgusting monster that collapsed to the ground,
"What an idiot, of course because it doesn't know you well!"
There was a mockery on his lips, but Zhu Jue's eyes were full of anticipation, waiting for the scavenger to fetch the monster's body.
He never thought that tonight would encounter an unexpected surprise, this guy would actually contact the spells of the ancients!
As long as you can get this spell, then the trip is completely worth it no matter what, as long as you can contact the ancients, it is possible to know how to break through to higher places.
The potion of Pluto stored in the spatial ring can also come in handy, and there is no need to worry about it losing its effectiveness over time.
Take advantage of the scavengers to search for items left on the monsters.
Zhu Jue first collected the ritual items on the ground and put them under the candlelight to inspect.
There was still half of the liquid medicine left in the vessel, and there was no crystal powder left, and Zhu Jue didn't know about it in the corridor, but the special dust scattered on the floor around him still caught his attention, and after thinking about it, he was about to tear a piece of paper from the book on the desk and take some of it back.
His eyes unconsciously glanced at the paper on the table, and in the candlelight, Zhu Jue could see that there were some scattered text paragraphs on it, and he couldn't help but step forward and hold the edge of the table with one hand, looking sideways.
"After the birth of human beings, they could not speak, and walked naked on the earth. The winged ones bring us from the sky the necessary knowledge that we never knew before......"
After reading it word by word, Zhu Jue soon found that several of the paragraphs were not connected, but had to be disorganized and reorganized, so he simply sat down on the chair and picked up the quill next to him to re-annotate.
"The ancients walked on ancient continents or in the deep seas...... They went to war with some of their contemporaneous horror presences...... By surrendering to them, we gain friendship and a mystical circle that connects them...... Mystic Circle?"
Grabbing the paper on the table, Zhu Jue continued to look down, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
Sure enough, the rest of the content is the same spell.
Ancients Contact!
There is no doubt that the ancients here are the ancients!
The scavenger completely broke away from the monster's corpse at this time, and placed a silver-white ring on the table in front of Zhu Jue, who picked up the ring and rubbed it with his thumb a few times, light blue swirls appeared, and dozens of gems were scattered along with a bunch of books and scrolls.
Picking up the old scrolls in the books, Zhu Jue couldn't understand the meaning of the hieroglyphs on them, but it didn't prevent him from confirming that this was the "Nakert Codex" stolen from the Temple of Usa!
When he was in Usa, Zhu Jue specifically inquired about the appearance of the Codex Naqt, and the shape of the hieroglyphs and scrolls is undoubtedly two iconic points.
What is hidden in the Grand Library of Solan City is not a magic mirror at all, but the Codex Nackert itself!
"It seems that Attar is indeed using divination, no wonder he can determine the location by looking at the magic mirror, and from the things reflected in the minaret outside, it is indeed the only one building......
Taking back all the things on the table, Zhu Jue looked at the scroll and the other papers in the ring.
Just now in the hallway, he overheard the conversation between the two in the room and mentioned the issue of translation.
In contrast, the contents of the paper are their translations of parts of the Codex Nackert.
Right now, he was one last step away from completing the test of the Great Elder of Attar, and as long as he handed him something, he could get clues about the search for the gods.
However, looking at the space ring in his hand, Zhu Jue was thinking about whether to postpone the matter.
The spells that connected the ancients are recorded in the Codex Naqt, which in part indicates that a considerable part of the book involves ancient intelligent races.
If there is an ancient contact technique, what if there is still a great race contact technique hidden in it?
What's more, judging from the sacrifice of the guy lying on the ground just now, the liaison technique is more like an opportunity to provide a meeting between the two parties, and if they can't give the other party what they want, they can only get nothing like just now.
It is probable that this is the case in the Codex Nakert, for in ancient times someone had successfully acquired some kind of special knowledge through trade, according to the content that had already been translated.
didn't dwell on this matter for too long, and Zhu Jue quickly confirmed his thoughts.
For the time being, keep the Codex Nackert with you.
The content recorded on the scroll can be said to provide Zhu Jue with a way to become stronger that he can try, which is undoubtedly extremely important information for him whose strength is stagnant, and he is naturally unwilling to hand it over like this.
Moreover, in the short term, Zhu Jue could foresee that he would stay in Thousand Sails City for a long time, and even if he handed over the scroll, he would not have so much energy to start searching for God.
In fact, he hadn't even finished the trip to the Eastern Desert that he had promised Lobelyn and the unknown High Priest.
The meal should be eaten in one bite, and the road should be walked step by step.
A certain celebrity said it.
If you take too big a step.
Click!
It's easy to pull the egg!
Zhu Jue deeply agrees with this.
So far, this dream trip can be said to be perfect, it only took a day, I got what I wanted, and I also got an extra space ring and two magic props.
It stands to reason that it is time to leave, after all, it will take half a day on the way back.
But before that, Zhu Jue still has things to deal with.
There was another person in this room before, although I don't know what kind of organization they were, but it is certain that they were the ones who invaded the temple of Usa in the first place.
These people not only found the location information of the "Codex Nackert", but even dared to set up a trap for the Dream Eater organization, and there must be a not weak organization standing behind it.
Now that Zhu Jue has taken away the "Nackert Codex", needless to say, if the relationship between the two sides is expressed by data, it must be -10,000 starts, and it is normal to not die.
In this case, Zhu Jue has no reason to ignore these people's plans for tomorrow's festival.
It is definitely not possible to go directly to the other priests in the Great Library, after all, Zhu Jue himself is also an intruder, and no one can guarantee that this organization has no other inside lines in the Great Library, and it will only be counterproductive if it is not done well.
So Zhu Jue is ready to find someone more reliable.
"Lend me my head...... If you don't speak, I'll assume that you agree. ”
His eyes swept over the corpses on the ground, shook his hands at will, and the sand line shot out, coiling around his neck and pumping, and the hideous and terrifying head in the frozen state fell into Zhu Jue's hand.
Leaving the room, stepping on the window frame and flying out, like an eagle out of a mountain stream!
......
"Someone will make trouble at tomorrow's festival, and there is another organization involved besides the Dream Eaters......"
Leonard, who had just been woken up from the bed, was still a little sluggish, and repeated the former's words blankly, until he saw the head in the center of the room, and then he cheered up, and without saying a word, he went to wake up the other people from the Dream Brigade first.
"I just went to the big library, don't ask why, I just walked in by accident while walking, and first saw the guy who had escaped in the garden corridor...... It's the guy I shot into the wall in the first place, he's not dead, and you should be able to detect it if you can confirm the number of corpses. ”
Omitting the process of finding the magic mirror and the pair of men and women leading the way, Zhu Jue said bluntly,
"He's hiding in the big library, and there's his accomplices in it, I killed one, that's it, during which I overheard that they were cooperating with the Dream Eaters at first, and when the festival approached, I don't know what they thought, they were going to swallow the fruits alone, because they were partners or Dream Eaters, and it was not easy to do it, so I borrowed your hands, and now the Dream Eaters have been cleaned up, and I don't need to say more about the back. ”
"How many people are on the other side and where are they at the moment?"
When it comes to the festival, Leonard's nervousness with the rest of the Dream Brigade is palpable.
"I sent someone to track down that guy and can give you a location, but I don't know how many of them there are...... However, you should understand that since those guys dare to kick out the Dream Eater and go it alone, it means that they have enough confidence in their own strength. ”
Zhu Jue shrugged his shoulders and said his guess.
"Zhou Xian, take the monster head, everyone immediately go back to the room to get weapons, prepare to go to the big library, go directly to the high priest, and ask him to notify the Solan City Guards immediately!"
Without much hesitation, Leonard was ready to immediately inform the priests in the Great Library, and naturally he would rather believe this kind of thing than believe it, and told the finishers, and when they left, he turned around and said,
"Thank you for reminding me, if this thing is true, I owe you a big favor, a few magic items that you didn't choose before, and when you return to the real world, someone will send them to you. ”
The meaning in these words sounds like thanking Zhu Jue, but the latter sounds like there is another layer of meaning.
Leonard would rather owe a favor than Zhu Jue to get involved in the next thing.
On the one hand, the extermination of the Dream Eater was the cooperation between the Dream Brigade and the Priest before, and the Dream Brigade could only do it by itself, but now the situation is different, this new organization is hidden deeper than the Dream Eater, and the current situation of the Dream Brigade is impossible to carry down alone, so it is the best choice to find the Priest and the Solan City Guard, with their help, it is the same whether there is Zhu Jue or not, there is no need to ask Zhu Jue for help with a big favor.
On the other hand, as mentioned before, the Dream Brigade has already paid too much for this festival, and Leonard can't afford to lose, and he can't accept that someone will come over at the last minute to share their loot, so to put it bluntly, he wants Zhu Jue to leave as soon as he gives his position!
"I didn't want to get involved, you can rest assured, but I don't want those magic items, I want something else. ”
Zhu Jue hurried back to the real world, he was not interested in the festival, and he was not ready to take food from other people's mouths, which was not kind, but the reward he should ask for was indispensable.
"I want your research on the Gateless City, and I'll get something to Neil City for me. ”
"It's that simple?"
Leonard, who was ready to be opened by the lion, heard Zhu Jue's words and did not react for a while.
"Yes, it's as simple as that. ”
There are still many places to cooperate with the Dream Brigade in the future, and now he may be able to make a fortune by robbing while the fire is hot, but in the long run, it is he who makes the relationship stalemate.
Therefore, Zhu Jue had already thought about what he wanted on the way here.
The investigation data of the Gateless City can be used to fulfill Zhu Jue's original promise to Luo Belin, and Zhu Jue is still very interested in the powerful help of this Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce in the Fantasy Dream Realm.
And these materials in the Dream Brigade are just a bunch of outdated documents, which belong to things that occupy space and are thrown away and are not willing to be discarded, otherwise Leonard would not have said it so easily before.
"Wind Chimes, I'll remember this kindness!"
Leonard raised his hand and patted Zhu Jue's shoulder, with some emotion in his eyes.
Standing in his position, he thought that Zhu Jue was worried that he would not be able to wipe his face, so he specially found a step for himself to go down!
If you want Zhu Jue to know what Leonard is thinking, you must say one more thing:
What do you think, we're good friends, that's what I'm supposed to do!
