Chapter 176: Double Whammy
Casillas, with his familiarity with Kama Taj, easily avoided the various alarm traps of the magic circle. It's just that it's not easy to sneak into the library, and you need to take a long detour to get there.
Casillas crept back into his room, then waited patiently for Kama Taj's men to fall asleep. He wasn't going to make any trouble with Kama Taj, his target was the Book of Cagliostro in the library.
Not long ago, Casillas was a proud disciple of the Supreme Mage Ancient One, with outstanding talent and very hard cultivation. It can be said that Gu Yi's words are obedient, and he doesn't dare to doubt them at all.
The ancient one has said many times that the energy of the dark plane cannot be controlled, and once this energy is absorbed to cast spells, it will be attracted to Dormammu, the master of the dark plane, and will fall.
Casillas once thought that this was the truth, but he did not expect that his most respected teacher would absorb the energy of the dark plane to maintain his immortality. This feeling is like suddenly discovering that an anti-Japanese hero is actually a Japanese spy, which is as disgusting as eating dog shit.
Therefore, Casillas couldn't stand it at that time and left Kama Taj. Just a month not only failed to calm Casillas, but only deepened his resentment towards the Ancient One.
And today, when he returned to Kama Taj, he wanted to steal the Book of Cagliostro, which he treasured from an ancient broomstick, and learn the forbidden spells inside. Just like a child, adults don't let you do things, but do them to express your dissatisfaction.
Although Casillas is already an uncle, compared to the age of the ancient one, he is indeed just a child, and he is still a child who broke the jar after the idol was shattered.
In the dead of night, most of Kama Taj's mages were asleep. Casillas quietly left his room and walked towards the library.
At this time, there was probably only one administrator in the library, and with his own strength, he could easily kill this librarian and then take the Book of Cagliostro.
Carefully unlocking the magic lock of the library's door, Casillas entered the library without incident. To Casillas' surprise, the caretaker who was supposed to be in the library wasn't there.
But it's better this way, Casillas doesn't have to kill people, as long as he takes the book and leaves, the movement will naturally be smaller.
But when Casillas went to the Ancient One's private library to find the Book of Cagliostro, which describes the time, he found that the shelves were empty.
"Why not here? Could it be that the ancient one knew that I was going to steal the book, so he put it away in advance? Casillas' face became very ugly.
Although he has been extremely disappointed in his teacher, it does not mean that he will despise his teacher. Casillas knew very well that once she was discovered by the Ancient One, she would not be her opponent at all.
However, if this book was really hidden by the ancient one, then he had nothing to do about it.
Just when he felt that he had nothing to do, he found that the door of the library was opened, and two people walked in from the outside.
"I've finished reading these books, can I borrow another book on out-of-body books?"
"Just kidding, you've only been borrowing these books for a few hours and you've read them all? You know, knowledge is not something you can grasp by looking at it, you need to understand it deeply. ”
……
The two of them said this as they went, and Casillas recognized the two men when he heard the voice. One is Rorschach and the other is the administrator of the library.
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, it seems that Rorschach has been granted access to the library to borrow books. This is obviously the back door that the ancient one opened for Rorschach, so that he directly became a mage apprentice.
"Unexpectedly, I also helped him a lot." Casillas sneered.
If he hadn't called the Ancient One out of the retreat, Rorschach and the others would have gone to war with Kama Taj. And in order to protect the place of Kama Taj, he resolutely violated the rules of the ancient times.
But the result?
The Kama Taj was made peace, the short-sighted mages were saved, and the Rorschach were qualified as full-fledged mages, only to be disillusioned themselves.
It is a great irony that I have given so much and it is others who have benefited.
Casillas was in a state of grief, when he heard Rorschach say, "The contents of this Book of Calistro seem to be complicated, and the Supreme Mage asked me to read it, but he didn't let me practice the spells in it. Is there any way to grasp the knowledge inside faster? ”
The Book of Cagliostro?!
When he heard the title, Casillas was in high spirits. This book, the ancient one actually passed on to Rorschach?
Surprised, an inexplicable anger surged into my heart. He had spent many years cultivating spells and revering the ancient one like a god, but in the end it was just a lie.
How long has Rorschach been in Kama Taj? He actually obtained the inheritance of the ancient one and was able to learn the content of this forbidden book?!
This is a more serious blow than after the previous faith was shattered, I thought I was counting a green onion in front of the ancient one, but I didn't expect that it was actually not as good as dust.
After the double blow, Casillas' eyes flashed with a fierce light. He must get his hands on the Book of Cagliostro, not only to take revenge on the Ancient One, but also to let her know that he is the best mage in Kama Taj.
The two men who were chatting in the library were unaware of Casillas' presence, and the caretaker said to Rorschach, "If it was in the early years, the Supreme Mage's collection still has a book called the Dark Divine Book. I heard that anyone can find the knowledge they want in this book. If you can read the following Dark Divine Book, it should be helpful for you to understand the content of the Book of Cagliostro. It's just a pity that now the book has been lost for a long time. ”
"How does the Dark Book sound a little related to the dark plane." Rorschach asked curiously.
This Kama Taj is really a dark plane full of weirdness, and it is clearly secretive, but it hides a lot of related classics. Generally speaking, if you don't want people to communicate with the Dark Plane, shouldn't you destroy all the relevant books and let people forget about the Dark Plane?
Unsure of what the Supreme Mage was thinking, Rorschach picked up the other books he needed in the library and left.
After Rorschach left, Casillas disappeared from the library.
