"Ah......h

Osmond let out a terrible scream.

Rushing!

The sound of the pages turning suddenly rose, and his body that had been cut in two dissipated into an illusory afterimage, and the intact body appeared where it had been two seconds ago.

Osmond fell to the ground and looked at the knight in horror.

Corpse......

All around, there were corpses.

Blood, stumps and internal organs were splattered on the ground.

The subordinates of the History and Ritual Association were all stopped and beheaded, they were only transcendents of Sequence 9, and they could not master the ability of "historical retrospective", so they could only watch themselves being cracked into two pieces and going to their deaths.

"Mr. Jocco...... You promised me, as long as I give you something, I will live! ”

Osmond growled.

He sniffed the thick smell of blood around him, and the fear in his heart reached the extreme, he really didn't want to experience the pain of breaking his waist just now.

Chen Lun didn't answer, and dragged the silver giant sword forward in a few steps.

A vertical slash, a head crack!

Woo!

The sword wind shrieked, like the mockery of the winds of death.

Osmond only felt his scalp tingle and shivered.

The "silver waterfall" that fell from the sky seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he was about to be cut in half in the next second.

"Ahhh

He mustered his spirits, used the fastest speed of his life, and once again cast the "Historical Retrospective", appearing in the same position ten seconds ago, trying to dodge the slash.

But to Osmond's bewilderment, confusion, and suffocation, the greatsword ...... Unexpectedly, he moved dozens of meters out of thin air, as if teleporting, locked himself again, and continued to slash without hindrance!

There was an instant tremor in his vision, and he immediately turned red.

The rusty armor and the scarlet cloak in front of him slowly split into two pictures, and immediately severe pain poured in.

In the midst of endless fear, Osmond realized one thing-

From head to toe, he was cut in half!

Peng!

The corpse was planted.

Dust was splashed.

Chen Lun dragged the blood-stained giant sword and stood in place, looking at the corpses around him, silent.

The killing of ** is constantly rising.

He knew that he was under the influence of Balagh's armor, eager to fight, and bloodthirsty, but he really didn't intend to let these people go from the beginning.

'The times of chaos have come, and even the Orthodox Church has turned away from its original beliefs...... For bullying, the only way to counter violence is to fight violence with violence. ’

Under the pitch-black cross aperture of the visor, a brutal sneer came out.

"The Empire's S-class wanted criminal, heh, is helping the Empire get rid of pests...... It's ironic. ”

It didn't take long for the corpses of the transcendents on the ground to slowly disappear, and the spirituality and transcendent properties were precipitated, all of which turned into earthy yellow mysterious substances.

Because the corpse was cut off and incomplete, it did not become a monster.

But Chen Lun didn't look down on these low-level tricks now, so he simply didn't deliberately keep his hands, only followed the killing in his heart, and slashed happily.

Now that his mind is clear, he only feels happy.

'The Balag Armor will make me gradually become obsessed with the thrill of killing, and eventually lose myself......

Chen Lun secretly reminded himself that he couldn't be carried away by the ** of killing. …

Take a breather.

Only then did he pick up all the mysterious substances on the ground.

After a brief inventory, there are a total of fourteen low-rank mystical substances of the Earth faction, as well as one of the low-sequence mystical substances of the Earth faction that Osmond formed after his death.

Chen Lun put them into the Blood Poetry Ring, then turned his head to look at the four carriages parked on the side of the road, as well as the wooden boxes and sundries scattered all over the place, and chose to leave directly.

*

That night.

Chen Lun counted the harvest in the study.

He placed all three items on the table and looked at them one by one.

First of all, the fragment of the stone stele, through the hints and descriptions on the panel, Chen Lun learned that the name of this thing was called "Destiny Monument", which was suspected to be carved by the high-ranking existence of the Earth faction.

There are some hidden truths recorded on it, but because there is only a corner of the fragment, it is not possible to peek into the whole picture and know its original content for the time being.

And the words engraved on it are also very unfamiliar, and seem to be some ancient language. Some sporadic words and phrases that could barely be seen, Chen Lun could not discern their true meaning.

The panel indicates that this language is called "Yanita", and it requires the appropriate language skills to be able to interpret it, and the required level is not low.

Chen Lun had no choice but to give up.

He had a hunch that the stele was extremely valuable, and that if he could gather the pieces and restore them, he might be able to get an unexpected surprise...... This may also be because of its name, which caused Chen Lun's reverie.

'Is the Monument of Destiny an important item related to the path of destiny......? ’

Chen Lun secretly guessed.

After thinking for a while to no avail, he put away the fragments of the stele, and then picked up the yellowed parchment manuscript again.

The manuscript has some ink on it, but it is barely legible. The above content is roughly a travel essay, written by a person named "Sid Mitchell".

'Mitchell...... The name is a bit familiar. ’

Chen Lun frowned slightly.

He searched through the memories of his past life, and soon remembered that the Mitchell family, it seems, is a secretive transcendent family, an angel who has believed in the Earth faction for generations. The original incident of the Amber City Gallery, the gallery owner named Beckman, was a member of the Mitchell family.

The essay-keeper named Sid was from the Mitchell family. ’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

Immediately afterward, he went through the content of the essay in detail.

The elegant handwriting on it depicts the scenery of Sid's travels around the world, as well as various exotic places, with a special emphasis on a small town called "the land of Saint-E".

It was a small town in the northern part of the Tresur Empire, part of the Privet City of Limbang. The local people are simple, the climate is suitable, and the scenery is beautiful...... Sid stated in the manuscript that he liked it there and would rather live there all the time if he could.

Chen Lun read the manuscript twice and found nothing special.

'It seems like a simple travel essay, but why does the History and Ritual Society take it so seriously......

He was a little confused.

Could it be because of the important identity of this man named Hildmitchell? Does the manuscript have any special value or significance? ’…

Chen Lun couldn't figure it out.

He put away the yellowed parchment manuscript and studied it later.

Then, he opened the ancient book he was most looking forward to-

Carmen's Codex

This codex happens to be the second volume.

The above content still records Carmen's unique insight into magic and mystery, as well as a very special magical skill.

Its name is "Mind Reading".

Chen Lun was very interested in this, and devoted his attention to the content of the codex, and the whole person was attracted by the profound knowledge above, and gradually forgot the passage of time.

I don't know how long it has been, maybe until late at night.

Chen Lun finally received the panel prompt box -

[You have learned and comprehended the skill "Thought Sharing" through careful reading! 】

【Thought Sharing Lv1】

Skill Description: You have spent a long time trekking on the path of fate, and after reading the profound knowledge of magic, you have developed a unique understanding of mind reading, and tried to integrate it with the "beast language" of [Beast Tamer] and the "five senses" of [magician], and finally created this new transcendent ability.

Skill Effect: Mind Stealing, you are able to steal what others are thinking, mind transmission, you can share your thoughts with others. Note: Each time you cast it, you need to go through the double judgment of will and weight. (Affected by Mystic Resistance)

'Enhanced Mind Reading? ’

Chen Lun was very surprised.

I didn't expect to learn such a skill from the second volume of Carmen's Codex. ’

He also noticed the hint in parentheses in the panel's description.

'Affected by mystical resistances, this means that it is difficult to apply to mid-tier transcendents...... After all, after being promoted to the middle sequence, a transcendent qualitative change will occur, and a part of the mysterious resistance will be obtained...... But I haven't added a few points yet, so let's take a look at the full level first. ’

Chen Lun consumed 4 skill points and upgraded "Thought Sharing" to the maximum level.

【Thought Sharing】

Each time a skill is cast, the will and weight of the caster will take precedence, and there is a certain reduction and cancellation of mystic resistances.

Chen Lun was very pleased with this change, saying that the skill points were not in vain.

In this way, it may be able to work for ordinary mid-sequence transcendents. ’

In addition to his insights on magic and the record of mind reading, Chen Lun also saw some poems left by Carmen at the end of this codex.

The content has nothing to do with magic.

It's just that Carmen expressed her admiration for her teacher Fredtri in this way.

In Chen Lun's view, these poems cannot be said to be very bad, but they are not of any level.

For example, one of the songs, "To the Watchmen of the Old World" -

Time is willing to open the curtains for you and shine on that perfect face.

Knowledge is willing to open its mind to you, and darkness is willing to retreat for you.

There is nothing in the world that can match your beauty, and all things will wither in the face of you.

Fredtri, the watcher of the Old World.

You plundered my belongings, and I died of old age.

'Hmm...... So this magician, named Carmen, is also a licking dog? Or is it an old licking dog? ’

Chen Lun's expression was a little strange.
