These words may seem absurd, but they are all that Frick and Akuli gathered from William Coulter's book. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

While curiosity led the two to explore the mark left by the dead sorcerer, they were vaguely aware of the suspicious atmosphere that hung over the matter. Could it be that Dr. Coulter had left these records in anticipation that he would be wiped out by that organization?

The horrific sights that have been witnessed that can only exist in the spirit world, and the anomalous events that occur during certain phases of the moon that are repeatedly mentioned in the books. They seemed to have touched Frick's sleeping instincts, allowing him to perceive an undercurrent surging in the dark.

He grabbed one of the books that Dr. Coulter had manipulated and stared at carefully, and suddenly noticed a different image overlapping the pages. Somehow what kind of emotion drove him to act, he immediately flipped the book to the overlapping page, only to find a page that should not have existed.

It seemed to be a translucent piece of paper with a subtle blue hue, with a spirit-like texture that didn't feel like it was supposed to be when touched. However, the most amazing thing about this piece of paper is not only the nature of its presentation, but Frick soon discovers that it is one of the "hallucinations" that only he can see.

"Looks like you've found something 'unusual' again, isn't it?"

Perhaps Acully couldn't see it, but he could notice Frick's expression by looking at his expression: "If there are 'hallucinations' that you alone can see are left in the book, then Dr. Coulter must be trying to convey some message to you alone." ”

Just take a closer look—Acully said, urging Frick to hurry up and read the strange "paper" that was entangled in the thick of the book. Although she was interested in the content, if she couldn't see it at all, she had to wait for Flick to read it and relay it.

But was this really what William Coulter wanted to leave for himself? Frick was skeptical, and when he read it, he was even more incredulous about the ciphertext.

There wasn't much text on that marvelous piece of paper, not much left except for one poem—a very clumsy one. And when he continued to read the verse, trying to find out the hidden meaning, he found that it did not seem to contain any important information.

The reason why he felt that there was a code in this "poem" when he first read it was simply because there were too many misspellings in the verses. Perhaps a sorcerer doesn't need to study complex rhetoric, but the spelling is so clumsy that one wonders if it's a child's scribble.

Perhaps simple grammatical problems and spelling mistakes will not affect reading, but if they are used to make an obscure allegorical poem, it can only be described as terrible. Unless the person who wrote them didn't intend to make people understand what they were trying to say, they don't have any value to read.

"If the text written in such a sophisticated way is as bad as you say, then I can only suspect that this is one of Dr. Coulter's methods of concealing secrets. After listening to Frick's description, Acully shrugged unmoved, "Maybe you should try to transcribe them for me to see, maybe the broken text that you think is a misspelling actually hides quite an important clue." ”

With that, Aculi took a small stack of white paper from his hand and handed it to Frick, handing over the pen pinned to his breast pocket. They are all specially customized items that Akuli often uses, and you can vaguely feel that some kind of complex technique is hidden under a stable magical structure.

Unlike some blank sheets of paper that are incorporated into the spell for combat purposes, they are special spells that make magic harmless, and are specifically used to record words that may be risky. The magic of the paper neutralizes the power of the words and stabilizes them with the help of a Rubik's Cube.

This was a precaution to avoid a sudden burst of power in the text, and they did not yet know the purpose of Dr. William Coulter's recording of the text, and if the magic was abnormal due to some steps during the transcription, the paper would also ensure that the transcriber would not be consumed by the magic.

"What is this writing? Did he misspell so many words on purpose...... I opened my hands and embraced the aetheric winds that filled the heavens. ”

Frick muttered quietly as he tried to read the verse with his own understanding: "The atmosphere that gradually seeps into the body is like a lover's hand, and they go hand in hand with each other under the starlight—it must be a misspelling here." The vast wind kissed my cheeks, and the primordial fire shimmered between heaven and earth...... Or is it a bright color...... It was as if I had been put in a box of flame and flame, and I heard the impending sound of a storm echoing among the stars...... Wait a minute, I think I've heard these things before, and it's ...... Where?"

But the more he recorded these verses, the more he felt that something was awakening in the depths of his memory, as if he had known about the existence of these sentences in the past. It was hard to describe, it was the first time he had seen them, and yet it was as familiar as he had heard it many times.

He really didn't want to be associated with these weird and typo-riddled things if he could, but he couldn't help but notice a connection between the words that had been copied on the blank paper with the pen in his hand and the "dream world" he had visited.

Frick couldn't remember when he had heard the lame verses, but he could still sense them in them. After writing the last word, he read the sentences again, and once again felt that they resonated wonderfully with his own spirit.

Although these words are clumsy, they do have a certain incredible appeal, and when Flick reads them, he can't help but have some strange associations. At this point, the scrivener's sensibility exerted an unimaginable power, and the images in the text appeared in front of Flick's eyes as if they were real.

The aether-filled air brought more magic than ever before, and the rain of fire from the outer world scorched every inch of his skin. It was the pure magic of incomparable power, and it seeped into his pores with force, pouring that irrepressible power into Frick's body.

"How could you fool make such a lowly mistake like a layman?" A moment later, Akuli's scolding and beating dragged him back to reality, "There are many grotesque magical powers in the Demon Book that can seep into the human mind, so you must not be swayed by their power when reciting!"

It's not just a whole book that is a magic book, and sometimes just a page of paper with dangerous content can be called a magic book. Their owners didn't write them down to spread knowledge, so there could be maddening magic in these few notes.

As Akuli said, the books of the Devil's Way are different from books that contain knowledge and wisdom, and since they are born in the midst of madness and insanity, their content naturally contains the author's madness. And when someone opens them and reads them, they are already caught in a vortex of anomalous magical effects.

It is almost a matter of course, and if the reader moves along with its contents, the original nature will also be infected by the magic contained in the book and fall into madness. Because of this, the scribes had to be harmless and they had to be doubly careful in their work.

As for Frick, who forgets the right thing to do and gets into trouble, Acully does not hesitate to use violence in order to pull him back to reality from the illusion. Three punches and two kicks knocked him to the ground, and she didn't forget to make up for a few kicks, which really made people wonder if she wanted to vent the pressure she had accumulated on weekdays.

However, if you don't consider whether her behavior was too aggressive, at least the effect was immediate, and Frick was soon no longer eroded by the anomalous sensation brought by the apparition, and there were no after-effects except for a slight dull pain - Aculi certainly didn't seriously beat him, otherwise he would have fainted.

"So, what do you see?"

Akuli first let Frick get up, and then asked as he handed over a drink, "There is some kind of power hidden in these words, but only those who have read the original can appreciate the hidden illusion in them." Although this is only a defense mechanism, it should be mixed in with some valuable content. ”

Her gaze skimmed over the clumsy verses written on the blank paper, and then stabbed Frick in the eye like a sharp sword, telling him what he saw. It's hard to understand the truth just by reading these clumsy texts, so you need to rely on Frick's ability.

The verses recorded by Dr. William Coulter on a non-existent page of the book are true ciphertext, and the sentences they found before are probably just the first step in unlocking it. The sorcerer had put up layer upon layer of walls, but he still recorded some special information.

This method of concealing secrets is so complex that it is almost like testing the ability of the interpreter - perhaps Dr. Kurt is using this method to screen out those who can truly inherit his legacy. The sorcerer who had devoted his life to studying the spiritual world obviously didn't like the results of his painstaking years of research to easily fall into the hands of others, so he used layers of ciphertext to protect the secret.

But the problem is that Akuli and Frick, who are now studying the ciphertext of the book, are not really interested in the "legacy", and all they want is information about the people who killed Dr. Kurt.
