Xia Bai gently picked up one of the gems and faced the direction of the firelight, and the shimmer light gently refracted in the structure of the gem, showing the crystal clear nature of the gem itself.

Xia Bai counted, then put the seven gems in his pocket and continued to grope into the secret room, and then went inside and met a few more boxes, but unfortunately they were all empty, or some shabby clothes. The innermost part was a dusty table, and Xia Bai picked up the only two books on it and left the secret room.

Returning to the ground along the dark secret passage, Xia Bai did not leave in a hurry, dusted off the thick dust on the stool next to him and sat on it and flipped through two books, although he didn't understand the words of the other world, but the system is an all-round translation gift package, which is probably the cutest place of the system.

The unpaid system translator was really powerful, and it didn't take much effort to interpret the words in front of Xia Bai's eyes, and Xia Bai read along the Chinese characters floating in the air. "Diary?" Seeing the familiar format, Xia Bai immediately reacted, this is the diary left by the previous owner.

It seems that the original owner's habit of writing a diary is not very diligent, every time it is half a month or even a month, which caused great trouble to Xia Bai's reading at first, but because there is nothing else to do, Xia Bai gritted his teeth and continued to read.

Under the narration of the original owner, Xia Bai finally understood the things in the diary. The owner of the diary is the clerk of the castle lord, who is responsible for recording the words of the castle lord every day and preparing to write written orders at any time, and this position is usually filled by the person most trusted by the castle lord, and this is no exception.

The owner of the diary is called Conley, a distant brother of the city lord, so he took this position. And the longer he stayed in this position, the more and more things Conley learned, but he didn't dare to go at all, but others told him that the clerk who leaked the secret would definitely be executed by the city lord.

So he recorded what he knew little by little, and built a secret room to hide his diary by secretly digging every night. After Xia Bai learned about this, his interest in the diary increased greatly, and he began to read it seriously, looking for important information in it.

Xia Bai went through countless trivial matters, such as whose wife had a crush on whose young master, which may have been a sensation back then, Xia Bai was of no nature. The first useful information found was the news of dragon scales, and in his diary, Conley carefully recorded the evaluation of the city lord of the year.

"The dragon scales that will bring luck to people" Xia Bai gently read out the words used by the city lord back then, it seems that this dragon scale is not simple, Xia Bai is also thinking about whether he can summon Heizhen is also affected by the effect of dragon scales, but then he shook his head and stopped thinking about it, because even if the dragon scales are magical, there is no need to think about it anymore.

Xia Bai, who had a good attitude, quickly flipped through the records about dragon scales, and after turning over a lot of trivial things, he found the second thing of interest - a treasure buried near this by a group of thieves, if it was pure money, it would definitely not attract Xia Bai's attention, but Conley wrote that there were a large number of magical items in the treasure.

After this treasure was found by the city lord with the guards, it was not truthfully reported to the Grand Duke and the Parliament of the Federation, and after swallowing the treasures, the city lord closed the location of the treasure, and under the full search of the Federation, even the original city lord here could not take away all the magic items and sell them in a short time.

However, the city lord did not have the slightest idea of returning the things to the Federation, and hid the treasure transfer location again. It wasn't until a drunken lord and his mother were in a corridor at a family party that Conley happened to hear it, and Conley recorded it.

However, there is no mention of the location of the treasure in Conley's account, and apparently he has no information about the location of the treasure. Xia Bai, who was full of interest, happily continued to flip through the diary, but the information of the treasure ended here, and turning back brought a piece of news that made him not feel good.

In the last few pages, Conley recorded the news about a beast tide at that time, it seems that someone angered the Beast Spirit King, who controlled the dark power, and countless beasts rushed out of the forest to attack the city and slaughter the people, these are not important information, the important thing is that the diary records the battle of several strong men besieging the Beast Spirit King.

Although there was no specific battle information, Xia Bai could also feel a strong smell of danger in the information recorded by Conley, a sixth-order powerhouse invited from the Star Empire and the empire's own four sixth-order and countless armies and siege fifth-order masters, in the end, they were barely trapped, and finally escaped.

It is conceivable how unfathomable the strength of the Beast Spirit King is, this is just the result of a Beast Spirit King coming out of the mountain, thinking that this time it was the situation of the Nine Kings Xia Bai felt a burst of powerlessness, and gently closed Conley's diary, Xia Bai stretched his waist and stood up, sat here and watched it seriously for two hours, and when he came back to his senses, his waist had already begun to protest to him.

In fact, at the end of the two diaries, Xia Bai did not find the reason for the abandonment of the city and the final whereabouts of Conley, and it is obvious that the abandonment of the city has nothing to do with the three things recorded by Conley, and it must have been something that happened in the end that made the Federation resolutely order the city to move collectively.

Pushing open the already crumbling window, the time at this moment was not yet noon, Xia Bai was not too hungry after eating dry food before leaving, and remembering that he had made a decision to meet before dinner in the evening before leaving, Xia Bai decided to be lazy for a while, and sat on the stool next to him Xia Bai took out the gem he had just harvested.

Putting the gem in front of him, Xia Bai decided to practice the so-called money-burning magic, manipulating the spiritual power to slowly squeeze and condense the magic power and then carving the magic circle and sealing it in the gem, which is the use method summarized by the system in order to solve the problem that Xia Bai does not have any magic marks and loops to use magic.

In fact, to put it simply, what Xia Bai needs to do is to focus his attention completely on his fingers, and then use his fingertips as a pen to draw the magic circle that needs to be carved without a millimeter of difference, but here he is in trouble. The slower you carve a circle, the less likely it is to make mistakes, and the difficulty of concentrating is the opposite.

A person like Xia Bai, who has not been trained at all, is more likely to be distracted the longer he stays, and of course he will fail to portray himself when he is distracted, so the two opposite requirements also make Xia Bai have a headache, and he is just idle when he catches up, so Xia Bai exercises like this.
