"Witchcraft in the Ancient World?"
Looking at the large black tome written in ancient parchment, Charles was quite unconscious, but he didn't dare to let his walking corpse open it.
The book was then pushed through the shuttle door by the corpse.
And then the second, the third.
The Book of Hopkins, The Mystery of the Astral Spirits, How to Attach a Curse, The Devil's Testament, The Necromancy, Gregory's Blood Extraction, 17 Death Rituals That Shouldn't Exist, ......
There was no accident for a day, and when the time came for the house to be full of dangers, Charles began his "plundering" act smoothly.
The pale blue light curtain continued to emit ripples, and books of different colors were pushed into the shuttle door, including spell books, history books, reference books, and some books that I didn't know what the use was by looking at the name.
Charles had experimented with the walking dead before, and as long as these books were not opened, the curse would not erupt, so a simple touch was perfectly fine.
But for the sake of caution, he still did not do it himself, but only commanded the walking corpses to do it. Although this may be a lot slower, it is also the safest.
"Connie doesn't seem to wake up if she doesn't scream, and no matter how fast the church is, it can't come right away, and the rest ......"
Shaking his head, he looked down at the not-so-thick gray book in his hand.
Gray skin, with a skull on the cover and a papal crown, unlike all the books on the shelves, this one is called The Church Handbook of Prevention. The book in the seventh edition was not cursed, and of course Charles did not find it from the shelves, but from the corners of his desk.
This is a discarded book that was used as a table leg.
However, the book was useless to the original owner, but it was important to Charles.
"Psychic factions can be repelled by the sacred realm of the church, but the lich, ghouls, vampires, and all other bloodline-changing death paths must be avoided far away, otherwise they will be illuminated by the light of the church thorns and manifest their original forms."
……
"If you're just a minion, then even if you commit a crime, the church won't target you with much fanfare, and the cooperation of the minion police and low-level witchers will probably be your destiny."
……
"If you do something commendable, you might attract the black-clad dogs of the church, and they're good at tracking, and unless you're completely out of the world and out of contact with anyone, you're going to get caught sooner or later."
……
"If you are vital to us, then you will also be hunted down by the Church, who will communicate with some prophetic beings in Heaven. Just know your real name and you'll be exposed, so hide your real name and don't tell anyone, anyone!"
……
"If the scene of the crime is discovered by the Church within 24 hours, then everything you did will be replayed by magic, and the best way to deal with this kind of investigation is to turn your crime site into a dead place completely.
Here, I would like to recommend Anthony. The book "The So-Called Death" written by Lecius's predecessors, although there are many ways to make a death Jedi, this book is undoubtedly the best!
Of course, the best way to do this is to keep a low profile and not reveal your true identity. Otherwise, no matter how secret the means are, they will eventually be cracked one day, especially in this era of ever-changing spells.
Finally, let's all wish that damn old leper dog in the Church's Divine Magic Research Department to ascend to heaven soon!"
……
As he flipped through it, Charles realized that the book was more of a necromancer's survival guide than a manual for dealing with the church.
The book covers not only how to evade the pursuit and detection of the church, but also other aspects, such as dealing with state forces and non-official organizations.
There are also some clues of necromancers, and even other dark forces, such as a paragraph on the page that mentions a dark assembly, and the existence of the Bone Newspaper and so on.
"The so-called world of darkness?"
After a cursory flip, Charles came to this conclusion.
Although they were pressed and beaten by the Thorn Church, it is obvious that these underground forces are not powerless to fight back, but ordinary people do not know about it.
However, seeing this, Charles did not have the mood to find an organization, but rather complicated.
In fact, he didn't know whether he should hope that this dark force would be more powerful, or that it would be more rubbish.
In the Acavia continent, the state is only an auxiliary, and the Church of Thorns is the main force that constitutes the stable situation in this world, and from what he has learned so far.
Those who learn black magic don't want to be any good people.
Including himself.
……
As time passed, the bookshelves were being emptied little by little, the walking corpses had no physical strength and emotions, and they were tireless, while Charles kept concentrating on the book in his hand.
Occasionally, he would glance around vigilantly, or look out the window at the edge of the island, for fear that Connie would wake up in the meantime. But he was completely alarmed about this - despite the past two days, there was still no movement there.
"Will she starve to death?"
I had some doubts about this, but after a little thought, it felt like it was impossible. Unlike himself, with the blood of heaven, it is difficult to say whether he is a normal person or not.
……
As night falls, the environment becomes pitch black. Due to his vigilance at this place, Charles did not light a fire or anything else, and kept "working" on the blue light curtain of the shuttle door.
The books were pulled away one by one, and they did not dare to carry them roughly, and the speed was naturally very slow, and it was not until the middle of the night that the bookshelves in front of them were roughly emptied.
I said it was rough because he didn't dare to pick up some books.
Those beings with explosive spells attached to them can also be brought into the world behind the door, but Charles can't guarantee that the books will not be opened due to various factors after passing through, so they don't dare to take this risk.
Glancing at the remaining ten or so books regretfully, he finally threw the one in his hand into the door, and then followed the walking corpse with him.
If possible, he didn't really want to enter right away, but when the shuttle door opened, he wanted to close, so he had to run in and out himself, there was no other way.
"It's not smart at all."
Muttering secretly, in the blink of an eye, he reappeared in the same place.
His hungry stomach swelled, and the fatigue caused by standing continuously was swept away, and he looked at the study around him, a little hesitant.
The next 24 hours seemed to be the most dangerous, and from that book he learned that as long as a master of the Church appeared and probed this place during this time, everything Charles did would be exposed.
"Without that so-called death Jedi spell, it seems like it's okay to burn this place on fire, but ......"
Thinking of the dangers lurking here, Charles felt that it was not a good choice to destroy the house rashly.
If there is some kind of restraint missing, and the contents escape, where can he hide?
After all, the island is so big.
So the idea was abandoned. Charles turned and carefully left the study, and after struggling to climb down the house, he came to a coconut tree not far away and sat down.
He was going to stay around the house for 24 hours, and if someone came to the church within the time, he would run and set it on fire, and if there was no one else then everything would be fine.
As for the Connie girl who had been lying in the dungeon for several days, Charles remembered that normal people didn't seem to starve to death for four or five days, and that kind of abnormality should last longer......
