094 The Book of Oliver
Chen Yi retracted his thoughts and set his eyes on the loot in front of him.
The first thing I saw was the black book, which I had taken from Pyne, the one that couldn't be burned with gas.
He skimmed over to look at a few others. It's all from Sandy.
A wooden box, a roll of leather made of I don't know what kind of skin, two black stones, and a piece of black metal the size of half a palm. There are also some gold and silver coins.
"This is, the magic stone?"
His eyes lit up when he saw the two egg-sized black stones, and he picked them up and looked at them carefully. The stone is irregularly shaped, black and translucent, and looks a bit like an unpolished crystal.
He summoned the magic of the source of his magic and poured it into the stone along his arm.
Knock - Knock -
Through the skin of his palm, he felt the two stones pulsate as if they had come to life.
"Sure enough, it's a magic stone." The ****** stone of joy appeared on his face, which was a natural magic crystal that contained a large but gentle magic power, which could be directly absorbed into the body by the wizard, and could also be used to arrange prohibitions and locks.
For wizard apprentices, the magic stone is a very precious thing, almost monopolized by official wizards, and it is almost impossible to buy with gold coins. Even if an apprentice is lucky enough to get it, he will hold it tightly in his hand and will never take it out and sell it.
The only way to get magic stones is to take out valuable things and exchange them with others.
Therefore, it is quite lucky to be able to get these two magic stones. I'm afraid Sandy also didn't come easily, and finally gave it to him cheaply.
"These two magic stones should be enough for me to break through to a second-order apprentice."
Thinking to himself, he carefully put away the magic stone.
"I don't know if Sandy has any other good things."
He picked up the scroll and opened it. At first glance, he judged that it should be a nautical chart. Moreover, the markings of the sailing route above, as well as the names of the areas passed, are familiar.
"Could it be the route map from the Taylor Continent to the West Coast Continent?" He judged in his heart, and after rolling it up again, he put it away.
This kind of thing, which is of little use to him now, may come in handy someday.
In the end, only a wooden box remained.
He put on his gloves and carefully opened the wooden box.
Inside lies a transparent glass tube.
"It seems that the wizards of the West Coast Continent have invented glass. I just don't know how popular it is. He thought to himself.
This glass tube is as thick as a thumb, about five centimeters long, and has a noticeable concave and convex sensation on the bottle. The mouth of the bottle is corked with a black cork.
Inside the glass tube, there is a black-red liquid that looks viscous.
He glanced at it a few times, but didn't open it at all. Place it directly back in the box and close the lid.
Wizards' stuff is quite dangerous, especially potions and stuff, and God knows what they put into it.
Of course, it could also be some kind of precious potion or material.
Therefore, he did not throw it away, but put it away, and after learning the knowledge of potions in the future, he saw if he could identify it.
Everything you got from Sandy has been dealt with.
Now, all that's left is Pine's black book. Chances are, that's his biggest takeaway today.
On the black cover, three words are written in the ancient lingua franca, which translates, "The Book of Oliver".
Oliver is obviously a personal name, and daring to use his own name as the title of a book is obviously not a simple character.
He stretched out his gloved hand and opened the cover.
Whining......
In his ears, there was a gust of yin wind, as if someone was talking to him, if there was nothing, it made people's hairs stand on end.
With a slight pause in his hand, he flipped the cover open, and the sound in his ears disappeared.
It's just an illusion.
Every wizard seems to like to leave some prohibition on their notes or the Book of Inheritance, which they use to test the person who gets the notes.
This Oliver, apparently, is no exception.
It's just that this level of hallucination is nothing to him now.
He took out the dictionary of ancient characters he had made, compared it with the contents of the book, and began to translate it.
The book does not seem to be thick, but it contains more than he imagined, and when he reads a page and wants to turn the page, he finds that the text on it has disappeared automatically, and then new content appears.
There is no doubt that the book itself is a magic weapon.
A few hours later, when he finished reading the last word at the end of the page and returned his gaze to the top of the book, he found that nothing new had appeared.
"Finally finished reading."
He put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and looked at the book full of words, which was a little incredible. With just one page, he translated nearly ten sheets of paper the size of A4 paper.
This "Book of Oliver" has a total of about ten pages. In other words, this thin book is equivalent to a book more than a hundred pages thick and the size of A4 paper.
"Hah-"
He suddenly let out a long yawn, and a strong drowsiness came over him. Rubbing his eyes, he didn't care to read the translation, activated the ring, and put it back on Earth.
…………
Chen Yi saw that in the dark, a pair of eyes with vertical pupils, glowing with a faint green light, were staring at him. The coldness and blood-devouring in his eyes made him feel chills all over his body.
"Hmph."
He snorted, sat up abruptly, and with a wary glance, he found himself in a familiar rented house, and the whole thing relaxed.
"You're awake."
At the door of the bedroom, Fu Wanzhen walked over, saw him sweating profusely, and said with concern, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing, I had a nightmare."
Chen Yi reached out and pulled her over, let her sit in front of him, his chin rested on her shoulder, and asked, "When did you come?" ”
"Last night." Fu Wanzhen took out a tissue and wiped his sweat, "As soon as I came in, I saw you sleeping on the bed, and you didn't even take off your shoes." Sleep very deeply. ”
"yes, it's been a long time since I've slept so deeply." As he spoke, he put his hand down, wrapped his arms around her waist, and blew into her ear, "Have you missed me these days?" ”
"Don't ...... that"
Fu Wanzhen stretched out her hand to block his mouth, not letting him make trouble, and said, "I'm going to work." ”
"Then you go." Chen Yi reluctantly let her go.
When she left, the look on his face turned serious.
He hadn't had a dream, let alone a nightmare, in a long time.
"Is it a curse?" He remembered that last night, when he translated the "Book of Oliver", there was a lot of it about curses.
He suspects that Pyne had cast a curse on him before he died.
