The fief of the Marquis of Palazzo, the marquis's mansion.

The fourth floor, the library room, the secret door room.

Passing through the dark staircase, Hodge entered a magical film and came to the interior of this mysterious library.

Contrary to Hodge's original idea, there were not many occult books here, and at first glance, there were only five brown-red bookshelves, scattered with books, roughly hundreds.

"It seems that the occult books here are only the most basic parts, and this is probably the place where my father intends to let me study alone after I become Sequence 9."

Hodge muttered as he looked at the books on the brown-red shelves.

For his marquis father, Hodge was still quite in awe.

When he first crossed over, Hodge had quietly inquired about the history of the Marquis of Bach.

Alone, he came to the Salom Empire from an unknown town to join the army, and made many military exploits, promoted from a small soldier to a nobleman, and even after the war, he was personally rewarded by the king, awarded a gold ribbon, and received the title of marquis.

This legendary life directly killed the protagonist of today's widely circulated best-selling novels.

If it weren't for the Marquis of the Empire, novelists wouldn't dare to write nonsense, I'm afraid that the novel with Marquis Bach as the protagonist would have swept the Salom Empire long ago.

When Hodge learned about this past, he almost thought that his cheap dad was also a traverser?

However, something happened later that made Hodge dismiss this idea.

"Let's find the relevant records first......

Hodge gathered his thoughts and turned his gaze to the leftmost bookshelf, starting from the very middle, which was "The Composition of Potions", "The Complete Book of Basic Potions", "Detailed Explanation of Common Special Materials", and "Basic Teaching of Apothecaries from Scratch......

Hodge glanced at ten lines, and after briefly skimming it, he muttered: "It seems that the first bookshelf is related to the mage path, and many of these books are estimated to be very useful after becoming a Sequence 9 apothecary himself." ”

Looking at the order of these obviously sorted books, Hodge felt a little warm in his heart, and he understood the good intentions of Marquis Bach even more.

Hodge looked at the second shelf.

"Knight's Code", "Knight's Control of Blood and Qi Basics", "Introduction to Special Weapons", "The Dangers of Madness", ......

"Books on the Knight's Way."

Hodge immediately made a judgment, and there were quite a few books in it, and when they were arranged, there were obvious omissions, and it was obvious that they had been siphoned off.

"It seems that some of these books are not very suitable for the newly promoted Sequence 9."

Hodge believed that his father would not harm him, and the reason why he took away the corresponding books must be because he was afraid that he would be too ambitious, and he would learn a higher sequence of knowledge in advance, which would lead to unstable mood.

Hodge didn't care, anyway, this time he entered this secret door room, not to read the books, he quickly looked at the third shelf.

The Occult and Niche Languages

The Origin of Species and Ancient Mythology

The Language of the Occult

……

"Huh?"

When Hodge saw these books, his eyes lit up, and he didn't hesitate to reach out and take down the first book.

The Occult and Niche Languages

It is a heavy, thick book, a finger's length thick, with a dark red undertone, and the text on the cover is an ancient text that does not communicate with the forces of nature—Raymond's text.

Hodge turned the first page, and a line of small crimson letters came into view.

"Welcome, voyeur, welcome to the world of the occult......"

Hodge looked at this line of blood-colored small print, and instantly got goosebumps all over his body, as if he had stepped into some mysterious world with half a foot.

Hodge took a deep breath and turned the second page.

There is still no directory.

The second line of small blood-colored words came into view.

"The first rule of the occult code: Give up foolish curiosity."

Hodge continued to turn the page, and the small blood-colored text disappeared, and lines of black text appeared, beginning to tell some of the events of the occult.

"Hornard, in the Latizis Mountains, once lived a group of aborigines, they worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, until one day, the scarlet blood moon came, the moonlight shone into the spring, shining red, according to ancient legends, the red light of the blood moon represents ominous, the aborigines did not dare to go out, until one day, an outsider walked to the spring and took a bowl of spring water."

"The next day, the whole village died, and the spring water taken by the outsiders turned into a steady stream of blood after dawn......

"County ...... Dorval"

"...... of Mtira County"

Looking at the weird and bizarre folklore above one after another, Hodge's face gradually turned pale, and in a trance, he seemed to see the picture of himself being devoured by a blood cup, terrifying and evil!

"Whew, Whew......"

Hodge gasped for air, forcing his gaze to look away from the book and calm his emotions.

Since the blood cup did not show hostility towards him, Hodge gradually relaxed his vigilance about the blood cup after using it successfully on both occasions, but these folklore-like stories once again made Hodge's heartstrings tense.

"Even if it doesn't show malice, it's still dangerous and terrifying enough, and we must always be vigilant, and when not in use, we must put it back into the consciousness space, and we can't carry it with us to prevent accidents."

"When using, you should always pay attention to whether there are abnormal changes, and if there is, replace it immediately and take back the blood cup."

Hodge silently made the next rules of use in his mind, and planned to follow the rules in the future and strictly enforce them.

"Curiosity kills cats......"

In Hodge's mind, scenes unconsciously appeared.

Eerie black mist, mottled ancient gates, sinister and terrifying patterns, bone goblets oozing blood, and O'Neill, a mutated giant......

"In this world full of madness and evil, curiosity beyond one's own realm is perhaps the most terrifying curse and pollution ......," Hodge silently thought in his heart.

What is the nature of O'Neill's variation?

Isn't it because it was polluted by the giant statue of the Giant Court Sect?

And the reason why he was polluted was to promote Sequence 6, when the potion was not completely digested, he coveted the strength and strength that did not belong to his own level, and finally couldn't control the potion in his body, and turned into a monster.

"The road must be taken step by step, and the rice must be eaten one bite at a time, this is the truth!"

"Even if you want to investigate your own specialness, you must first raise the realm to the top."

Hodge suddenly lost interest in exploring the special text symbols on the mottled door.

In other words, now he doesn't dare to explore at all.

The text symbols above are obviously not within the scope of his level that can be explored.

It is very likely that he really understood the meaning of the words and symbols, and he himself may have gone crazy, or turned into a monster, or directly disintegrated, becoming a wriggling piece of flesh.

"This is not a simple Western fantasy world!"

Hodge sighed deeply, raised his hand and flipped through the book, skipping the occult content and turning directly to the niche part.

The crippled elves, the crippled giants, the crippled dragons, the crippled undead birds, the crippled bloods, the crippled werewolves......

"Hey, wait, this is ......"

Based on the above translation and the comparison of ancient texts, Hodge suddenly discovered something.
