After a lot of effort to pick out the phantom pages hidden in the book one by one, Frick finally couldn't help but lean back on the couch and let out a sigh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It wasn't an easy job, especially when he had to concentrate on picking out the illusions hidden in the thick books. Their content is too obscure and complex, and the author's level of writing makes reading the content of the book a complicated manual labor.

In fact, after the grand funeral, the public lost interest in the legendary sorcerer, and the wonderful knowledge about his research gradually became the talk of the after-dinner party. And the sorcerers who tried to divide his inheritance also showed a certain incomprehensible forgetfulness.

"After all, they are the kind of people who should still want to 'share' the results of others in private, and of course keep their research confidential if they can. ”

In this regard, Acully commented: "They are not in the same boat in the first place, especially after dividing up Kurt's inheritance, those who have other 'inheritances' naturally become rivals. I would venture to say that eight out of ten of them wanted to hide the interpretations they had studied, lest someone take away the knowledge that didn't belong to them in the first place, while thinking about how to get someone else's work. ”

Although they are mages, they don't actually have much sense of honor as mages, and if they can achieve further research results, they can play even three random tricks. After all, even people like Frick and Akuli, who have only acquired a few "insignificant" collections, have to be careful that someone is watching their every move, and how dare others take the step of showing their research progress lightly?

In addition, it is also possible that the long-term futile work has finally worn out the attachment in their hearts. Convinced that Dr. William Coulter had left some kind of ciphertext, they no longer repeat their arguments, and over time they even question the authenticity of those "legacies", as most people do.

"If that's the case, I'm worried that someone is getting in the way and not letting anyone find out about Dr. Coulter's message. ”

Listening to Acully's sarcastic thoughts, Kurt didn't show much disgust for those wizards: "After all, I've known for a while how obsessed those guys are with William Coulter's research, and it would be strange if they could give up their original purpose so quickly - you know, not long ago, they were scrambling to snatch the Doctor's manuscript for recording what he saw in the dream world." ”

Frick is well aware of Akuli's cleanliness, after all, she is not only a scribe, but also uses her abilities to study various magical subjects. It's not surprising to see that some people not only neglect their own research, but also try to use all kinds of means to claim the work of others.

But he could always sense that there was something unusual about it, especially after coming into contact with people who were still working on Dr. William Coulter's manuscript. Those people didn't seem to be putting their studies off because they were tired, but they didn't want to continue.

In fact, after Dr. Coulter's funeral, some of the sorcerers held seminars on his research, but the discussions were of little value. The people who spoke in the room seemed to be strangely cursed, as if the more they described their knowledge of William Coulter's research, the more vague the words became, and in the end even what they said became contradictory.

If you let Frick himself, it is as if there is a mysterious force that accelerates the rate at which people forget about Dr. William Coulter, and even those who originally wanted to study it will give up for various reasons, and eventually everything about this person will become a small piece of history that no one cares about.

He had scoffed at the almost conspiracy theories, but when he looked at the manuscript left by Dr. Kurt and remembered the sorcerer, he found that his memory had become ambiguous. He is a man with a somewhat strange personality, who focuses on the study of the spiritual world, and has a knowledge of what exists in the depths of dreams far beyond that of similar researchers...... Aside from the information that almost everyone could tell, the rest of the memories were inexplicably blurred, as if trying to grasp something ethereal in a dream.

If it weren't for the photographs and portraits that Aculi had collected, he would have been surprised to find that he could barely remember what the sorcerer looked like. Scribes need to have a good memory, and Frick doesn't believe that it's a deviation in his thinking and memory that causes him to forget things from the recent past.

Could it be that someone is doing something behind the scenes that causes people to forget William Coulter's existence at an unusually fast rate? Humans are more susceptible than they think, and if there is a collective influence that can dive into the spiritual realm, it may not be difficult to forget something.

Except for a small number of people who know the truth, most of the public sees Dr. Kurt's death as a strange thing. Studying the spiritual world is an extremely dangerous thing in the first place, and it is reasonable to die due to the erosion of magic while exploring.

However, regardless of what those people think, William Kurt was indeed murdered, and the people who killed him were also a collective with the power to enter the spiritual world. Perhaps it should be said that Dr. Kurt had the power to be one step ahead of them, but in the end he couldn't compete with them on an equal footing.

They can use their own power to infiltrate the spiritual world to intercept Dr. Kurt who is about to complete the ritual, so they may also have the power of people's thoughts. Frick hadn't forgotten the spell items they had, which housed powerful magic on a par with the Moonstone Shards.

Thankfully, words recorded on other media are not affected by this ability, which is probably why William Kurt chose to hide his last words in the book. The ink on the original manuscript had begun to fade, but that was only a deliberate disguise.

The hidden phantom pages were also revealed to them by Acully's efforts - a simple little mechanism that would reveal itself to the reader after reading in the order revealed by the hidden ciphertext in the book, but it was used by Dr. Kurt as a second line of insurance.

"But these 'verses' are obviously not the answer to the puzzle, and it is quite possible to find this step to touch the puzzle set up by William Kuhl. Akuli looked at the first puzzle he had solved by his own hands and snorted dissatisfiedly, "It's not that I can't understand how important these messages are, but it's just a waste of time to set up such a complex puzzle...... The unlucky ones were probably killed by the enemy by the time they decrypted it. ”

Despite her complaints, she copied the words on the phantom pages with Frick, as they began to slowly disappear the moment they were revealed, and when they immediately noticed the anomaly, some places were unrecognizable.

But even when they immediately copied the text onto paper, there were some gaps left in some places—strange letters that could not be deciphered. Frick had left grotesque symbols in what he had previously thought to be misspellings, and Acully found himself unable to write them down.

No, it makes no sense to say that it was written.

Acully did try to draw the outlines in the image of the symbols, but they were not revealed on the paper, as if she were refusing to be used. On the other hand, the text recorded by Frick, though rather misshapen and imperceptible to magic, at least has a similar appearance.

There is no doubt that only by recording the complete passages can we get a good idea of what William Coulter wanted to tell the reader, but he did set up some kind of mechanism for selecting others at the end. The closer you get to the end of the record, the more these symbols of unknown meaning become, as if they are the correct way to write them.

But Aculi couldn't read what it was saying, and Frick would see it as lame verse. Having done this, it would be unrecognizable if it was not clear that William Kurt did not want people to easily decipher the words he had left behind.

However, they were able to at least decipher something useful from the fragmented sentences, apparently left behind by Dr. Coulter before his last experiment. At that time, he already knew that his life was short, so he chose to gamble in the experiment.

"Ever since I got this drug a few years ago, I've been thinking about how to make it work all the time, but I've never used it in large doses. Now, for the reasons of that incident, I can be sure that my thirst for knowledge has triumphed over instinctive fear. ”

"The good news is that if my analysis of the blood sample from Frick Sierra Leone is correct, it can be considered to have a wonderful catalytic property. Even though I've seen so many samples, I have to emphasize that his blood is special, especially when it looks surprisingly good with the No. 3 sample. ”

From these fragmented records, it is clear that William Kurt did have Frick in mind, as his blood would be an excellent catalyst to use. However, most of the texts that have been deciphered today are only about his ongoing experiments, and do not mention the identity of his "enemies".

Dr. Kurt has been studying everything in the spirit world for a long time, but all he gets is a vague phantom or afterimage. But instead of being discouraged, he longed for the invisible things that lurked in the depths of his soul, and wanted to see into the indescribable knowledge.

And the prototype of the red liquid must have played an extremely key role in the process of exploration.
