Chapter 15: The Necronomicon and the Silver Key
In the system shop, the 5000 shudder value of the folding mirror is just enough to buy two things.
One is a Necronomicon worth 2,000 Shivers, and the other is a Silver Key worth 3,000 Shiver.
For these two things, folding mirrors are very knowledgeable.
The Necronomicon, the ultimate witch book throughout the Cthulhu Mythos, was written by the mad Arab poet Abdullah Al-Hassad.
The book explains the Old Rulers and their connections in the closest way to human comprehension, documenting a large number of alien gods such as the Old Rulers and the Old Gods, as well as their cults and secret rituals that summon them.
In the Trembling Advent system, the Necronomicon appears as an unspeakable thing.
Necronomicon Books: This book has an extremely bad effect on the reader's thinking and behavior, and the stronger and more convinced the reader is of the knowledge in it, the greater the trembling value it can provide.
In the System Shop, the introduction of the Necronomicon as an unspeakable thing is very simple, but the folding mirror still grasps some key points.
The way this unspeakable thing gets the Tremble is by reading, and only those who read it will get the Tremble for the Folding Mirror.
On the other hand, if the person who gets the book doesn't care about the knowledge in the book, has no desire to read it, or doesn't believe the content at all, then he won't get the trembling value at all.
Secondly, the amount of shivering value is also related to the reader's curiosity, and the stronger the reader's curiosity, the more the shiver value.
How much?
That's big enough to be described as "huge."
Unlike the Cthulhu Statue, the Necronomicon Statue of Cthulhu gains shiver points through vision, and just looking at the statue gives the folding mirror a shiver value, no matter how many people see it at the same time.
And the Necronomicon is a book, and books are relatively personal things, and it is impossible for many people to read at the same time, that is, the Necronomicon cannot harvest trembling values from many people at the same time.
The Cthulhu Statue only has 500 shivers, while the Necronomicon has 2000 shivers.
If the system still has a conscience, this 2000 Shiver Necronomicon is definitely stronger than the 500 Shiver Cthulhu Statue.
In this case, it is easy to understand that the Necronomicon can gain a "huge" tremor value from the same person.
But only if the folding mirror can find the most suitable reader for the book.
The folding mirror was holding this forbidden book in his hand at this time.
There are no obscure patterns, the paper is not the rumored parchment construction, and the red cover has four large gilded characters written on it.
Necronomicon.
Underneath the four words of the Necronomicon are three vague and barely visible words.
Nekros、nomos、eikon
This book, both in terms of structure and text, fits very well with the characteristics of ordinary books in this world, and if you don't delve into the contents, this will look like an ordinary book.
The folding mirror took the Book of Necronomicon and flipped through it briefly, and did not feel any discomfort when reading it by himself.
After all, it was an indescribable thing that he had exchanged, and he had to eat his master.
But the folding mirror knew that if it was an ordinary person who flipped through this moment just now, it would be enough to fall into madness.
However, the folding mirror also found something wrong.
The legendary Book of Necronomicon is huge, with more than 800 pages, why is this book in his hand so thin, it only feels less than a hundred pages.
Folding the mirror and looking at the system mall again, I was almost not angry.
Necronomicon: Purchase Progress (1/10)
Feelings 2000 Shiver Value does not buy all the Necronomicon Books, but 1/10 of the Necronomicon Books!
Fortunately, if you continue to buy the Book of Necronomicony, it will cost 2000 trembling points, and there is no routine of repeating purchases and doubling the price.
However, if you want to buy the full version of the Book of Necronomicon, you need at least 20,000 trembling points to achieve it.
With 20,000 shivering points, you can buy a god!
It's useless to regret it now, Folding Mirror has already bought the Necronomicon and already has a Necronomicon ×1 in the system's inventory.
In addition to the broken chapter of the Necronomicon book, the other 3,000 trembling points of the Folding Mirror were purchased with the Silver Key.
The Silver Key, created by Yogsothothus, is scattered throughout time and space, in an attempt to bring the person who obtains the Silver Key close to his own body.
Those who have obtained the Silver Key can see certain scenes from the past or future through dreams, and under the guidance of the Silver Key, they will eventually pass through an ultimate door beyond the multiverse and obtain the cosmic truth contained within.
However, the silver key, which is an indescribable thing, is relatively simple.
[Silver Key]: Those who obtain this object will fall into an insatiable greed for knowledge and attempt to pass through the door through the Silver Key.
The silver key in the folding mirror's hand was a bright silver metal key wrapped around a dense arabesque like a password, but the folding mirror could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
The silver key only has the upper part, and there is no part of the bottom that is in contact with the cylinder.
There was a bad premonition in the folding mirror.
[Silver Key]: Purchase Progress (1/3)
It turns out that this silver key is divided into upper, middle and lower three sections, and the folding mirror costs 3000 trembling value to buy only the upper section of the silver key, and the complete silver key is 9000 trembling value!
The folding mirror is too lazy to complain, if it is said that suffering is a blessing, he is already as blessed as the East China Sea.
But fortunately, even the mutilated Necrometric Book and Silver Key can be effective.
Now the trembling value of the folding mirror has been completely reduced to zero after purchasing these two unspeakable things, and it is urgent to replenish the trembling value of these two unspeakable things.
And the folding mirror chose to save 5000 trembling points to buy these two things in one go, and it also has its own reasons.
The Book of Necronomicon is the more thirsty the reader is for the knowledge in the book, the more trembling points they can earn.
The effect of the Silver Key is to plunge the obtainer into an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and it is only fitting to use it to enhance the reader's thirst for the Necronomicon.
But more importantly, the presence of the Silver Key can increase the authenticity of the Necronomicon.
In the conditions for the Book of Necronomicon to obtain the Trembling Points, the reader must be convinced of the contents of the book, and if there is a Silver Key to corroborate it, then the content of the Book of Necrons is basically solid.
But even so, you should still find the most suitable person for folding mirrors.
Today's ninja world advocates force, and there are not many people who are interested in books.
And not only does this person need to be a love of reading, but also a strong ninja.
Because the spirit of ordinary people can't bear the fear of unspeakable things at all, it is estimated that it will be completely broken after looking at it.
Only a ninja can provide a huge amount of Shiver without completely losing their minds, and the stronger the ninja, the stronger the spirit and the longer they can provide Shiver points.
Kakashi?
Kakashi seems to never leave the book in his hand, and he always has "Intimacy Paradise" in his ninja waist bag, and he has almost achieved the realm of keeping the book in his hand except for the task.
However, Kakashi is still in the shadows, and from the observation of the past few days, he is not in the habit of reading at the moment.
And what about Jiraiya, the author of "Intimacy Paradise"?
As one of the three ninjas, in addition to the famous ninja identity, there is another identity, that is, a writer.
As a writer, I guess I'm interested in reading.
But the way to gather inspiration is to travel, and even if he reads, he never reads any serious books, and the words "Book of Necrons" don't seem to attract him to open this book at all.
Looks like it's the only one...
