Chapter 653: The Book of Spells

Hao Ren did not hide his astonishing discovery in the Ark Count, and everyone, including Vivien, was shocked by the truth of the matter.

The creator of ninety percent of the ecosystem of the dream plane, the incredibly powerful goddess of creation, has been slain - and at the hands of mortals!

Of course, due to the limited information on the Ark Library, the details of the incident 10,000 years ago are still unknown, and they are not sure that the Starry Sky People's account is true and reliable, but in any case, Hao Ren and they have still made amazing progress in the field of investigation of the goddess of creation and the catastrophe of the destruction of the world, but the results of this progress do not seem to be pleasant.

"I don't know how to tell the bearded men about this," Hao Ren sighed after telling his family about it, "I thought that even if he was enlightened, he would have to ......be martyred when he heard the news."

"Then don't talk about it yet," Vivien raised her eyelids, "at least until we find the remnants of the Goddess of Creation...... I think that such a powerful god should leave some traces even if he dies. ”

Itzax nodded approvingly, "Yes." Although the Goddess of Creation has fallen, her power is obviously still working, and the magic of the Radiance Sect and the telepathy generated by the believers are real. Anyway, in our world, after the death of a strong enough individual, there are often some strange phenomena and traces left, and they can even last for 10,000 years. ”

Elizabeth was sitting on Itzhax's shoulder tinkering with a small radio, when she waved the cone and shouted happily, "So I didn't believe my dad was dead at that time - it's normal for my dad to be such a powerful demon king that it would be normal to curse an entire race with resentment if he really hung up." The allied forces of all the clans that came to the door back then were ready to be cursed and exterminated, but nothing happened after more than half a year. That's why I thought my dad was alive......"

Hao Ren looked at Yizax with a strange expression: "...... Your daughter's way of thinking is truly worthy of her race. ”

Yitzhax scratched his big bald head in embarrassment: "Negligent discipline, negligent disciplinary......"

After returning to Earth from Nangong and his wife, they first went to Nasatone to visit relatives. After that, he lived in Hao Ren's house, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the hot summer soon showed its power completely. The hot weather made people drowsy, and the idleness of the past few days also made Hao Ren, a half-adventurer who had slightly adapted to travel life, feel bored, but considering the suddenness of the censor's mission, he could only wait honestly at home, spending time with his zoo-like family all day long.

Lily kept her habit of scurrying around the city in the morning after eating and drinking, and according to her, this was the time when infectious diseases were high. It is necessary to do a good job of disease prevention for stray dogs to ensure that the team has sufficient combat effectiveness - but everyone really can't see what kind of combat effectiveness her paparazzi have, except that it has become more and more neat when Lily has been gathered to line up recently.

Carrying the medicine box against the sun ran outside for a long time, Lily came back at noon and was quite energetic, she threw the medicine box into the living room and lay on the windowsill to look at the street scene, at this time there happened to be an old yellow dog squatting on the street outside, and was spitting out his tongue and panting to dissipate heat, Lily tilted her head and looked at it for a long time, and then stuck out her tongue: "Woohoo hoo ......"

Vivien was reading a book when she heard movement and glanced up. His face was full of disdain: "Look at your image." ”

Lily didn't expect her rival to be sitting next to her, and quickly withdrew her tongue with a blank face: "I'm just entertaining myself." And what about May? I want her to help me get some ice water, I'm cool. ”

Vivien held up a finger and shook it, "Ice cubes?" Cool and cool? You stand there and don't move, I'll give you a thrill. ”

Lily suddenly jumped back more than two meters: "Did I recruit you to provoke you?" ”

"Vivien. Turn on the air conditioner, it's really hot today," Hao Ren fiddled with the terminal (in fact, it was playing DOTA) not far away. Hearing the noise of bats and big dogs, he looked up and said, "Another May went out with her parents." Her parents wanted to get acquainted with the environment, and by the way, they looked for ways to support their families in modern times - they watched TV for half a month. They are now panicking into modern society. ”

Vivien shrugged her shoulders and snapped her fingers, and wisps of pale white cold air immediately appeared around her, and the cool breeze soon spread throughout the living room and gradually spread throughout the building. The electricity bill she saved this summer was enough to cover the rent.

Lily opened her mouth to take a few breaths in the cold wind, and then sighed comfortably: "Bat, you are a little useful at this time...... In other words, if you look at Nangong's parents, and then look at you, everyone knows that they work to support their families......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw a cloud of cold air rushing towards her face, and the careless husky girl was instantly frozen into a dog.

Vivien lowered her head and continued to read: "There's a lot of nonsense, the landlord has no opinion." ”

Hao Ren hurriedly stepped forward to help Lily clean up the ice cubes on her body, while looking at Vivian curiously: "Anyway, you read there early in the morning, what are you reading?" ”

"The ancient book that Hethanna has somehow collected from the Athenian sanctuary two days ago," Vivien held up the thin, classical-looking black-skinned book in her hand, "the author is unknown, but it may be from the late Middle Ages, a book in Latin, it should be a sensational thing to mankind to promote heresy...... But I suspect this thing has something to do with me. ”

Hao Ren was immediately intrigued, and leaned over to take a look. He saw that the cover of the book was bound in black tanned leather, and that there was only a solitary title, "On Evil Spirits and Myths," and that there was no other information about the author.

Vivien opened the book, and Hao Ren saw that the old book was in good condition, with clear handwriting and illustrations in the style of the dark ages of Europe on the yellowed pages, and delicate patterns on the edges of the pages. On the illustration of one of the pages, a circle of villains dancing around a bonfire, and a devil peering out into the clouds above the picture is a reminder of the growth of heretical beliefs, strange cults, and evil legends in the darkest days of European civilization. Obviously, this book should not be a "canonical work" regardless of the era.

"Are you sure this thing has been around since the Middle Ages?" Hao Ren curiously reached out and twisted the page of the book in good condition, but felt that there was a creepy softness in the hand, not at all the touch of ordinary paper, "I'll go, this thing ......"

"Don't worry, it's not a human skin," Vivien tapped the page, "it's a black goat's skin, and it's been treated with witchcraft, so it's not like ordinary parchment." It's been a long time since I've seen this...... To make these pages, black goats are kept in caves where there is no sunlight, and after a while, they are slaughtered on a moonless night and processed into parchment by the hands of shamans. Hah, a waste of energy. ”

Hao Ren was dumbfounded when he heard this, this knowledge of ancient witchcraft sounded like a god, and he felt very incomprehensible: "So troublesome? Why? ”

"First, it can be preserved for more than a thousand years," Vivien held up the black book, "and secondly, the magic of the pages is itself a sign - proof that the book is a real 'magic book', and not a deranged copy of charlatans with no magic or secret knowledge." Many years ago, such magic books were popular, and despite the high pressure of the Church, many people, even the nobles, were keen to secretly collect such books to show their 'knowledge', but they usually only found fakes, and only genuine wizards, aliens, witchers, and monks could identify and obtain truly valid witch books. At last...... At that time, books were an expensive thing, and the aristocracy would use pretentious means such as transcribing expensive paper, making gold buckles on books, and mixing spices in ink to enhance the 'taste' of books, and the pretentious wizards were of course inevitably joining in the fun, so they vied with more elaborate rituals to make magic books to show their knowledge and professionalism in witchcraft. ”

Vivien added at the end, "Of course I think anyone who does this is an idiot - it only leaves a clue for the witcher, and once the magic books fall into the hunter's hands, the author of these books will not live long." ”

Hao Ren was stunned: "This is pretending to be forced with life?" (To be continued......)
