Chapter 44: The Treasure of the Town Hall

Mark nodded, "Hello, Zax." I'm Mark Destiny. ”

"Lord Destini, what book would you like to read?" The light-god-like guide raised his hand, and four translucent illusory light curtains appeared in front of Mark.

There are several major categories of occultism on it.

The occultism of this world seemed a bit of nonsense to Mark.

The Celestial Empire before the time travel had no concept of occultism.

In this world, the occult is a general term, divided into four main categories:

astronomy (including astrology, divination);

Otherworldism (mainly heterogeneous knowledge, including the devil-infested hell and the demon-infested bottomless abyss);

Soul science (including [anomalies], demon studies, etc.);

and magic (here referring to the use of the powers of the above three disciplines for human use, including the production of various extraordinary props).

Partial subjects, Mark definitely doesn't have time to look at them.

Of the four categories, Mark believes that the first to be excluded is otherworldism. This thing is preferred by the Sect of Great Sins and the Sect of the Apocalypse.

Second, we drain astronomy. The astronomy of this world is meaningless to him, he is already [Mr. Milky Way], and with the dice of fate, what else does he divination?

Don't look at this dice giving him high points every time, and when he turns around, a bunch of troubles come over, and I haven't seen its subordinates show mercy.

Consider it, Mark also took out magic.

Refining tools and medicines, once they are done, the status of the rivers and lakes will rise, but it is a pity that the investment is too high and the return cycle is too long.

It can be done in the future, certainly not now.

Then, the most efficient breakthrough is in [Soul Science].

Regardless of his thrilling succession, Mark found himself facing a strong enemy, and his soul power was too weak to seriously restrict his and Minnie's performance.

Centipede Susie and Minnie are also A-level [anomalous], because his master is too weak, and Minnie can't get enough soul power from him, resulting in Minnie can't let go of her hands and feet to fight each other with spirit silk.

Of course, Minnie is in a crippled state, which also limits her strength.

Therefore, whether it is strengthening his own soul or repairing Minnie's spirit body, it is an effective means to quickly increase his combat power in the short term.

Mark spoke, "Please take me to the Soul Library." ”

"Okay." Zax's blue translucent soul led the way, and the suspended staircase followed behind, and he said as he flew, "May I ask which category and which sect's books do you want to read?" ”

I looked at the huge shelves full of books, which were 100,000 volumes.

When I was in college, I was able to chew ten books in a semester, and it was great to pass the exam.

In this situation, looking for a needle in a haystack does not count, and the most feared thing is that there is a lot of chance of being crooked by garbage books.

In the case of a mysterious event that can be killed at any time, this situation is even more unbearable than 'the card guy is forcibly polluted by garbage cards'.

Mark's brain crashed instantly.

It's a shame to say that the original owner is a master who doesn't learn and doesn't have skills. Originally, I went to the occult clerical job, purely to be in charge of some paperwork.

Most of the night watchmen were rough people, and many of them could not even write. In a sense, as long as you can write a report on each anomalous case in a paperwork manner, file it, and at most help look at the extraordinary, you can be considered a qualified occult officer.

For most occult people, it is not difficult to have theoretical knowledge, and it is the real difficulty to contact the higher [anomalies] like Mark without dying, or even to recover them.

The occult promotion ceremony also uses this mysterious person with ordinary qualifications, and he will not be allowed to advance for the rest of his life.

Mark is the other way around.

This thing has completed all kinds of unbelievable practices in one go, but it seriously lacks all kinds of occult knowledge.

As soon as the guide asked, Mark felt like he was being exposed and about to lose face on the spot.

At that moment, the dice that Mark loved and hated flew out and dangled right in front of him.

You can use me.

You can do without.

After using it......

The price you know!

“……”

After three seconds of struggle, Mark said to himself: Don't talk nonsense, give me the whole [20]!

In the next moment, Mark received a 'guide from fate'.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "I have long heard that His Excellency Howard F. Lovecraft has made great achievements in soul science. I'd like to see his manuscript. It doesn't matter if it's a remnant. ”

Zax, the guide, seemed to hesitate.

"What? Questions? ”

"No problem. Your Excellency, I need to remind you for the record. We do have the adult's manuscript in our library, but it's a fragment. Not only did this cost 10,000 mystery points, but in the last three hundred years, 444 of the 1,023 occultists who had viewed the manuscript went mad and died on the spot. Most of the rest did not end well, only 233 survived for a year, and even so, most of them suffered from severe mental deviations, soul pollution problems. ”

Hearing this, Mark's left and right eyelids beat wildly at the same time, and his heart palpitated.

The guide continued, "Although this book is the treasure of our library, it is too dangerous for anyone to challenge it in the past twenty years. If you insist, you will need to be surrounded by twelve library guards in the presence of at least five occult masters, including our librarians. ”

Mark is numb all over.

For so long, he can be regarded as figuring out the urine nature of the fate dice. As long as he votes 20 points out, regardless of whether he benefits or not, the mysterious calamity that should be there is absolutely indispensable.

It's like a gacha game with a 300 draw, when you get crooked to 270, it's really crying and kneeling to draw out the guarantee.

This is known as 'sunk cost'.

Mark stiffened: "I insist. ”

Zax kindly persuaded, "Young Excellency, do you really stop thinking about it?" You are most likely to be a victim of 1024. Even if you carry it, so many mystery points are put on other books, which is enough to make you a mystery scholar in Sequence 6 of knowledge. ”

"Nope! I firmly believe that I am the lucky number 1024. I usually do a lot of good things, and I firmly believe that [a good person has a safe life]! ”

"Alright! I don't advise you anymore. ”

Mystery points are not a problem.

This is the common currency of the occult world.

Under normal circumstances, this would require a mystical scholar to publish a research paper and solve a certain puzzle before the academic committee would award a number of points that are common to the occult realm as the price of learning various advanced knowledge.

The best way to earn mystery points is definitely in actual combat.

Mark had enough points in his hands to graduate from the Occult Academy because he had broken through the S-class world, and the Academy gave him 12,000 points.

That's just a little bit riskier.

Mark asked the facilitator, "Can you hide my identity?" ”

"Yes. This costs an additional 200 points. Even our curator will not know your identity. The memory of you in my soul will be erased. However, I would like to remind you that concealing your identity only casts a fog over your mystery, which cannot conceal the details of your movements or physical features. ”

"Enough. Please arrange it. ”

"Okay."

After some formalities, Mark was guided to an underground plaza of the Transcendent Library, which was 1,000 square meters and 10 meters high.

The moment he entered the door, a shadow mist enveloped him.

Mark noticed that in the middle of the empty square, under the flickering lights, there was a hemispherical building about ten meters in diameter.

Around the building, twelve occultists in various robes stood in the same number of magic circles, looking at him with curiosity.

Mark understands why there are so many mystery points. This is not only to dissuade the newcomers who are not self-sufficient, but also to pay for the appearance of so many occult scholars.

One is not good, the reader is crazy, and he will still trouble others to settle the mess when he turns back.

It's not difficult to kill a madman, but it's a test of strength to clean up a occult maniac with good combat power, and try not to hurt others as much as possible.

There was no turning back from the bow, and Mark was bold, and under the guidance of Zax, approached the secret room in the middle.

At first glance, the chamber looks a bit like an Eskimo igloo.

On closer inspection, the chamber was made of hundreds of irregular pieces of metal. When Mark stepped into the door, which had a slightly crooked frame, the door closed on its own.

"Boom!"

After the heavy sound of the mechanism, clusters of spiritual silk poured out from the cracks of the door, and they were intertwined with each other, perfectly sealing the entire chamber.

Mark noticed that there were twelve humanoid pieces of silver armor sitting in the chamber.

Now the armor was empty, and once Mark went crazy, he had no doubt that something would appear in the armor, and he slashed at it with a three-meter long knife.

At this moment, the originally opaque metal wall suddenly became illusory, showing an almost transparent state, and you could see that in the square outside, in addition to the occult scholar just now, there were more figures in magic robes floating in the air.

The spiritual world, the inner world of mortal mouths, is a reflection of the coexistence with the real world.

Just because mortals can't enter the spirit realm doesn't mean that occultists can't.

Spiritual scholars have long been able to connect through the spiritual realm across space.

Spiritual communication is subject to considerable uncertainty, and will be cut off when there are large fluctuations in the spiritual world, such as when the spiritual world is tidal. Moreover, the principle of long-distance spiritual communication is to invest a wisp of one's own divine thoughts, and when communicating, oneself is as bright as a lighthouse in the dark among spiritual creatures.

If you don't have enough strength to use spirit communication, you will be attacked by spirit creatures.

Those who can come to witness are naturally the powerhouses of the mysterious world.

Some of the figures covered their faces, and most of them showed their mental projections.

Mark discovers an old acquaintance - his cheap teacher, Margaret, the dean of the Mystry Mystery Academy.

He recognized the other party, why didn't the dean recognize him?

Even though the fog had hidden his features, the two had only separated yesterday, and Margaret had seen her good student die today.

The dean's eyes darkened almost on the spot, and he said in his heart: Mark, Mark! Didn't you see the world go? Why can't you think about it so much, to read this banned book recognized by the mysterious world?

But because of the regulations, she couldn't even dissuade her.

Mark is here, which means that he has signed a life and death certificate.

Originally, a group of big figures in the mysterious world had the mentality of being witnesses to see who would die like this.

Now it's okay, the dean was surprised to realize that this was eating melons and eating them to his own home.
