Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Strange Codex

After feeling the blood spurting from his legs, Rand immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the aura of this kid in front of him is not strong, even if he is injured, it is estimated that it will not be too difficult to kill him.

As long as this mission is over, the above will give you the opportunity to advance, and after completing the baptism, you can really reach the second order and gain more powerful power!

Seeing that the enemy didn't flee immediately, a wonderful weirdness immediately rose in Chu Ge's heart.

"Do I look so weak? Was even the dodge and counterattack just now considered a fluke? ”

Although he was underestimated, he would be very happy if every opponent did the same!

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Rand seemed to notice something, and his brows furrowed slightly:

"...... that dagger in your hand?"

"You say it."

Chu Ge's tone was so flat that he seemed to be greeting an acquaintance, and he said to Rand with a dagger,

"It was given to me by an adult, his name is Hamz, you should know him."

"Lord Hamtz?!"

Rand was stunned, then a hint of suspicion appeared on his face, and he asked very vigilantly,

"You're also a member of the guild? Why haven't I seen you? ”

Unless it is in some special circumstances, when he can use the simple method of strength to solve the problem, Chu Ge will not waste energy to use other means, he is an absolute consequentialist.

Therefore, he did not answer any words of disguise or deception to Rand's question, but rushed directly with a dagger.

"yes, I haven't seen you either!"

Not only piercing, but the serrated dagger is also much smoother to use when chopping than the original tabula rasa.

Chu Ge's strength 2.0 is actually no longer far behind Rand, and with the blessing of Lv3 dagger mastery, Chu Ge has suppressed Rand in terms of offense, even if the speed of the attack is not as good as the opponent's, he can rely on his ingenious skills to expand his advantage.

Moreover, he has far surpassed the guy in front of him in terms of health and defense, not to mention twice as much as the opponent, but the gap between them is also quite obvious, so you can make full use of the injury for injury play, and once again limit the opponent's speed.

Feeling the power from Chu Ge's dagger, Rand's face immediately changed, but he was able to be selected by Didiabo, and naturally he also had a few brushes, so he didn't panic, but began to fight steadily, hoping to find out the flaws of the other party and kill him with one blow!

However, from the beginning of this mentality, he had already lost the last chance, whether it was the proficiency of passive ability or the attainment of combat skills, Chu Ge had far surpassed him, and by the time he had the idea of escaping, his health had already bottomed out.

Rand died, and it was not Chu Ge's dagger that took his last bit of life, but a wound in his leg.

The first one, the wound he ignored.

After hastily disposing of Rand's corpse, Chu Ge set his eyes on the original target, the blood-red crystal.

Incidentally, apart from a few silver coins, Chu Ge didn't find any loot of actual value from Rand's body.

Under the reflection of the firelight, the interior of the crystal that had not yet been activated flashed with a flickering purple light.

Although Chu Ge has a certain amount of knowledge in rune formations, he is only at the level of beginners, although he can rely on his rich experience and knowledge to boast in front of the rune masters, but he is only talking about some things that are curtailed, and he actually does not have any particularly in-depth research on this aspect.

Therefore, he couldn't accurately judge the operation of the crystal in front of him, and he didn't know anything about its principle, so it was not realistic to disassemble it and take it away, and the only option was to destroy it directly.

Although the crystal is held quite firmly, its own hardness is very average, and it quickly shatters into splinters under the impact of the cyan slate.

【Modified Red Crystal Type II】

[Item Type: Item]

[Condition: Permanently damaged]

[Explanation: Believe me, after you know its true value, you will definitely regret treating it in such a rough way.] 】

- If you don't regret it, the best thing to do is not to learn about the thing that will make you regret it.

After seeing the explanation of the crystal fragment, this idea immediately appeared in Chu Ge's mind.

After resetting the mechanism back to its original state, he turned and left the library, but what he didn't notice was that after he walked out of the library with his front feet, several strange symbols suddenly appeared on the blackened papers.

It shimmers with dazzling gold, and when read together, it is:

[The wallet is stuffed with gold coins.] 】

Along with it, there is also a black-haired young man with a shadowy figure.

A figure lying on the ground with a bloodstained face......

******

After coming out of the basement, the height of the sun had dropped again, but this did not affect Chu Ge's desire to go up to the second floor to find out.

Although the light upstairs was much brighter than that in the basement, the smell of decay and disharmony was even stronger.

It's like it's fermenting rapidly under the sun.

With the exception of one study, the other rooms upstairs had nothing to pay attention to, and were covered in a thick layer of dust.

Any normal person who walked to the door of the study, under the hint of some emotion in his heart, would subconsciously avoid this room that exuded an ominous aura, and then quickly forget it, if it weren't for the help of Nervemore's heart, even if he had the experience of his previous life, Chu Ge would definitely not be able to enter so easily.

[Hint: The host is entering a special area.] 】

As the only room with floor-to-ceiling windows, the study was very eroded, but strangely enough, not only on the floor, but also on the glass of the windows, there was not a single trace of dirt, and no dust could be touched by hand.

In addition to the neatly arranged tables and chairs, there is only an ordinary bookshelf in the study, which looks unexpectedly simple and incompatible with the luxurious decoration outside.

On the bookshelf, there is a parchment-bound booklet, lying quietly on the square table on the second floor.

At the end of the parchment you can see the signature with the word "Sorge" written on it.

After flipping through a few pages, Chu Ge could easily identify the form of the book's contents.

Strictly speaking, it is not a diary, but more like some kind of messy essay codex, recording some words with a preface that does not match the afterword.

[I want to disappear, to let myself disappear, so that I can avoid the endless suffocating and heartbreaking suffering. 】

[Rich Greenland is full of "scams", and only the humble can get a place at the banquet of the wealthy......]

[Those guys are in control, not only depriving other classes of resources for their livelihood, but also depriving them of their minds! 】

【Cursed ruler, you are responsible for my sickness!】 O insensitive nobleman, don't you feel it? 】

[I can turn myself into a righteous warrior, an avenger, to avenge the countless lives slaughtered by your rule, and to avenge those who have resisted, imprisoned, tortured, and purged. Nobles...... I wanted to convince myself that at least someone had to mourn people's deaths! 】
