Russell looked at the oil-stained book with some hesitation, thought about it and put on gloves before taking it. Russell looked at the book and found that it was made of sheepskin, which looked quite thick, but it didn't actually have too many pages.

There were one or two lines of text similar to the title of the book, but it was not at all the lingua franca of the Empire, and Russell did not recognize it. He opened the book, and there were strange geometric patterns in it, and there were some very small words written next to the figures, which Russell couldn't read, and when he turned to the back, there was clear ink, which should have been written recently, squeezed around a page, and seemed to have been written by an old woman.

Seeing that there was a clue, Russell cheered up and looked at the contents of the book, which turned out to be a diary written by an old woman.

September 23 fine

Little Bob picked up a strange book from the forest behind him, saying that it fell from the sky, this kid is full of lies, I confiscated the book he picked up, who knows what else he can say after that?

Light rain on September 24

No merchant has come to the village for a long time, and no one has helped me to see what kind of book it is, although I know Braille, but I can't understand the language written on it, but after reading it for a long time, I feel a little dizzy, alas, I am really old!

September 30 was cloudy

Is it my delusion? I can vaguely read the patterns in the book, and I can read some of the words, what dedication, King of the Abyss, what are these!

Heavy rain on October 20

Haha I understand, this book is a treasure given to me by God, I'm going to get rich, I want to live forever hahaha!

The back of the diary was a mess of graffiti, but I don't know if it was an illusion, Russell felt that the old woman's handwriting was becoming more and more like the words in the previous books. It seems that the old woman was influenced by this book, and then somehow gained the power to think of magic, and turned into this deformed monster.

Is the continent really all ordinary mortals? Is there a mysterious existence that the continent does not know about? Russell began to have deep doubts about all kinds of things.

"It seems that there are more and more mysterious existences!" A voice came from his ears, Russell looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, it turned out that the cuckoo didn't know when he ran to his side, and looked at the evil book together.

Ignoring Russell, she continued: "Since a few years ago, there has been a mysterious thing on the continent, not only the Brotherhood, but also many countries have become aware of it, and they have begun to fight over these people or things, trying to find out the cause of the matter, and it seems that this book is one of them. ”

Russell suddenly realized that there were so many secrets in it. Anyway, the words had already been spoken, and Russell asked, "Then the short sword you used to defeat the old woman before was also one of them?"

Cuckoo glanced at Russell disdainfully, but replied, "You can say yes, or you can say no." ”

Russell pretended not to know and asked, "Then Miss Cuckoo, are you going to send this thing to the vicinity of the imperial capital?

Cuckoo didn't answer, but seeing her appearance, she also acquiesced, and she said silently: "Do you think that if there are more people, you will be safe? Our brotherhood also has a hostile organization, and it is just a burden to take too many people to travel. ”

After saying that, she habitually stroked the hair that fell from her ear, and Russell, who was looking at him, suddenly found that there was a gap in her ear, but there was no blood, and if you looked closely, didn't this look like a realistic mask?

Russell's surprise was beyond words, where could the cuckoo not discover her abnormality Seeing that she had been exposed, she sighed slightly, reached behind her head, and tore off her disguise.

Seeing the true face of the cuckoo, Russell couldn't help but be slightly stunned, the cuckoo in front of him had a charming face, her delicate nose was small and exquisite, and the sapphire-like eyes in her eyes were not covered by the fiery red hair on her head, but complemented each other, and her lips were like rouge with snow-white skin, more dazzling like a peach blossom falling in the snow, so cold and glamorous.

Seeing Russell's distraction, the cuckoo smiled bitterly: "In this world, beauty sometimes does not bring benefits, but only invites sin. ”

Russell got up, got up and bowed his head, and said with a smile: "Miss Du Juan, we can be regarded as comrades-in-arms who have fought together and experienced life and death, please believe in our integrity, I promised, I will definitely escort you to your destination safely!"
