Professor Taryn moved the wooden chair to make way for Brian to take a closer look at the scrolls.

In this way, the two sat down and began to study. The language on the scrolls is mysterious and ancient, and is the Old Vik language, which is known as the source of human language.

That being said, the Old Vik language has been spoken for a long time, and most of it has been lost to history, so it will take some time for ordinary people to fully understand the text on the scroll.

As the time passed, and it was already noon, Professor Taryn raised his head slightly, and in a puzzled voice, he whispered a passage of honorific names written on the scroll in Old Vik: "Wandering vain spirit, the soul of the dead, the eternal Lord."

The name is a common ritual mantra that appears in churches and some small tribes to pray to different beings who resemble gods and ask for help.

In the kingdom of Blue, the most well-known and most visible prayer rituals are those associated with the "Mother of Nature", "Goddess of Life", and "Spirit Domination".

On the first day of every month, believers go to the natural churches scattered in different regions to pray for the absence of war, a good harvest of food, and good health.

In the past, Brian's view was more of a search for spiritual solace. But now, after that incident, Brian has secretly changed his mind and has a heartfelt fear of the gods.

The wandering spirit of vanity, the soul of the dead, the eternal Lord. How come this honorific name has never been heard? Brian whispered it several times, expressing his confusion.

"I don't know." Professor Taryn shook it slowly, and talked about the origin of the scroll: "This scroll was given to me by Professor Vader Occam of the Department of History, and I hope I can help translate the content on it, and now that it is completed, there is no need to delve too deeply into other things." Of course, if Brian wants to know more, you can wait for Professor Vader to come back tomorrow and ask him for advice. ”

"Okay." Brian nodded and smiled, "If I have the chance, I will definitely go." This is not a politeness, but the true thoughts of his heart, hoping to learn more about the occult.

Saying goodbye to Professor Tyrann, Brian headed straight to the college cafeteria, ready to fill his already hungry stomach. As for the language class he missed in the morning because he was translating scrolls, it wasn't a big deal for him with good grades. Of course, if Professor Taryn didn't know this, he wouldn't have stayed until now.

After lunch, Brian returned to the empty dormitory, lay down in his own bed, and thought about Arnold's "play" and Ms. Catherine's reminder, "It's not about making yourself a magician, it's about making others think you're a magician." ”

"'Playing' is not difficult to understand, but what does this prompt mean?" Brian flipped from side to side on the bed, thinking about it repeatedly, and after more than a few minutes, he had a flash of inspiration and a clue:

The word 'playing' comes from theatrical performances, where the performer will make his character, movements, and tone closer to the character of the story to be interpreted, but off the stage...... The performer is still himself, and not anyone else? ”

……

The mysterious and mellow red moon hung high in the sky, and the cool wind blew gently, Brian in the dormitory suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and took out the pocket watch on his chest to take a look.

11:36。

Then he got up silently, and without alarming the other roommates, quietly left the dormitory, walked out of the academy, and walked to the "Catherine Performance Troupe".

About twenty minutes later, Brian's figure was elongated by the light of the street lamp, and appeared on the street of Don Jiao Street, and saw Arnold Heslett waiting for him in front of him.

At this time, Arnold tightened his black robe, and his body trembled slightly on the empty street, looking very thin and lonely. Seeing Brian appear on time, he opened his mouth and smiled: "Brian, you are very punctual, I thought I would have to wait a little longer." The captain had already gone to the outside of the casino in advance, and she told us to go there by ourselves then. ”

"Hmm." Brian nodded slightly, looked Arnold up and down with a deep gaze, and asked suspiciously, "Are you cold?"

Arnold shook his head: "This is 'playing', and I have the impression that poets are bleak, lonely, and difficult to understand. I think that way I should be able to master 'Midnight Poet' more quickly. ”

"I see." Brian heard the explanation and immediately understood why.

Then the two said no more, and entered a room in the backyard of the performance troupe together. Brian uses the ability of the "magician" to "hide" the oil lamp in his pants bag from Arnold. After that, he changed out of his hospital uniform and put on the black suit he wore last night, along with the same color trousers and top hat.

With that done, Brian unpacked a deck of playing cards that had been prepared and pulled five of them out and hid them in his cuffs, ready for the next magic trick. This deck of cards is the same as the poker used in the casino, and it is a prop that he is ready to cheat when the time comes.

The reason why there are only five hidden cards is because there is a certain number and time limit for "hiding", and if there are more, the probability of being found will be greatly increased.

After completing the preparations, Brian and Arnold walked side by side towards the location of the underground casino. As he walked, Brian suddenly felt a little lonely, so he opened his mouth to tell him about the morning at the academy and Professor Taryn watching the scrolls.

"Found an unfamiliar prayer ritual and a three-stage honorific name?" Arnold was stunned when he heard this, and the smile on his usual face disappeared instantly. He looked at Brian tense and asked in a panic, "Have you ever pronounced the honorific name?"

Seeing Arnold's abnormality, Brian immediately became solemn, opened his mouth and replied, "Yes, is there any problem?"

Arnold didn't answer, and suddenly continued, "What language is that pronounced?"

Brian became more and more worried, and without thinking too much, he said directly: "Bruu!"

Almost instantly, Arnold's body suddenly loosened when he heard the word Blue, as if he had just brushed shoulders with danger. When he came back to his senses completely, he began to explain slowly:

"Brian, a strange name like the one you just said, if you don't know the actual situation, you must not chant it in ancient languages such as ancient Vik, Elven, and giant, otherwise it is very likely that you will be targeted by some great being. If the other party is as kind as the goddess of nature and loves humans, of course there will be no problem. But if He is a hidden god, it will bring you unbearable consequences!"

Brian seemed to understand, and was about to nod his head in understanding, but suddenly remembered his teacher, Taryn Raymond, who had spoken the honorific name in Old Vik.

The mood that had just been relaxed immediately rebounded and became tense. Brian's face turned pale and told Arnold about Taryn Raymond.

Arnold's expression changed again and again after hearing this, the upper and lower limits of the danger of chanting unknown honorific names are very high, so small that they can be negligible, and when they are really dangerous, they can even destroy a city, which is a consequence that none of them can afford.

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down, Arnold sighed in a low voice, "Let's go to the captain first!"

"Good!"
