Chapter 137: Demon Studies
The base of the minaret was paved with black stone bricks and stood with huge pillars, and Lumian walked in this wide and deep place as if he had come to the land of giants, and from time to time he passed by one or two inhabitants tall enough to look down on him.
Following the instructions of the sign on the wall, he made his way to the third floor and saw rows of oppressive bookshelves.
In charge of guarding the library was an old man in a linen robe.
Even when he sits, he was no shorter than Lumien, and his slightly gray skin had patches of marks that represented old age. “
At this time, the librarian was flipping through a book bound in parchment, and did not look up at Lumian's arrival.
Lumian didn't rush to ask if he could look through the books here, and walked straight into the library, following the prompts posted on each row of shelves, to the area where the books of mythology were placed.
His fingers slid over a volume of ancient leather books and paper books that seemed to have just been copied, and picked out a book that recorded the creation myth.
Lumian stood in front of the bookshelf, casually flipped through the book, and silently slipped it back in.
I don't understand!
The text above is in the language of giants!
It is a very ancient language, said to come from the Giants, a transcendent race, which can directly leverage the power of nature, and is a very important knowledge in the occult along with the dragons, elves, and ancient Hermes.
The only transcendent languages that Lumian really mastered at the moment were Ancient Hermes and Hermes, and Giants was the kind that knew some of the words, but he hadn't really started yet, so he could barely read the title of this ancient book, but he couldn't read the contents.
He glanced at the ancient book and saw that there was a corresponding copy of the ancient book, and that it was in the ancient Phosak language, a human language that did not contain supernatural powers.
Reassuring, Lumi pulled out the soft-covered book and led it to the window-by-window reading area.
During the whole process, no one stopped him or warned him.
"This is a fully open library, isn't it possible for residents of New Silver City to read it, but not to borrow it? Or is there no particularly important knowledge in this level of the library that needs to be kept secret?" Lumien's thoughts turned, neither fast nor slow.
He passed by the area where books on otherworldly creatures were kept, and came across a book called "Demon Science".
Demonology...... Remembering what had happened recently, Lumian took out the corresponding transcript.
Entering the reading area, he chose a position that was not exposed to direct sunlight but had very good light, sat down, and opened the book "Demon Science" first.
Looking at it, Lumian's eyes gradually widened, and his mouth opened slightly.
He said to himself silently, "Can this knowledge really be put in the library and read by visitors?"
Each of these is very valuable!
The "Demon Science" in his hand recorded in detail the characteristics and habits of creatures of different races after becoming demons, and carefully analyzed the characteristics of demons of different personalities in the same race.
For those who have the potential to fight the "demonic" path extraordinary, this book is worth as much as a powerful "2" level seal or corresponding magical item.
"And, how did New Silver City get this knowledge? If you haven't killed hundreds of demons, I'm afraid you can't write this kind of creature illustrated book........ could it be that the 'half-giants' and 'giants' in this city are all demon hunters? Well, in the ancient era, when the demons were more active, they exchanged some information with other forces?" The more Lumian looked, the more frightened he became, and the more he watched, the more engaged he became.
Halfway through the reading, he rubbed the corners of his forehead, which had begun to swell and ache, and felt that his spirituality had become too consumed in a relatively short period of time.
Lumian temporarily closed the "Demon Science", intending to renovate the creation myth of Silver City and take a break. “
The creation myth begins with the words, "The all-knowing and all-powerful God created all this, and then went into a deep sleep."
"Among the mythical races he created, the giant king Ormir, the 'utopian dragon' Angelweed, the elven king Sunia Solem, the vampire ancestor Lilith, the demon king Fabti, the immortal bird ancestor Gregary, the xeno-king Kvahitun and the demon wolf king Freegra were powerful and mad, and carved up the power left by the lord and became the gods who ruled the sky, the earth and the sea, the reality, the spirit and the astral realm, the ancient gods.....
Suddenly, a dull, slightly gray finger with a lackluster complexion clicked somewhere on the page.
The old man's low voice rang out, "Don't pronounce this name in any otherworldly language."
Lumian looked up in amazement to find that the librarian who had been reading a book had somehow walked up to him.
And he, as a "hunter", is unaware!
Although this was the reason why he was dizzy when he watched "Demon Science" just now, it was enough to prove that the librarian who was more than three meters tall was very good at hiding his aura and movements.
Lumian retracted his gaze and looked at the name the librarian was referring to: "Demon King Fabuti".
Without waiting for Lumian to ask why, the giant-like librarian moved his finger a few centimeters forward and said, "It's best not to pronounce this name in an otherworldly language."
Lumian followed the movement of his fingers and silently read the corresponding name in his mind: "Lilith, the ancestor of the vampires".
"Why can't you read it?" Lumian did not hide his ignorance.
The librarian said in a deep voice, "The Demon King is still alive, and this powerful Old God is still alive."
"And the vampire ancestor is suspected to be alive, in recent years, after someone in the city pronounced the name Lilith in the language of giants, he encountered some unusual things, although there was no danger to his life, but he was also uncomfortable for a long time."
Old Gods?" "Ancient Sun God" before the ancient gods who ruled the world? Is this a myth corresponding to the Second Age? Remembering the little knowledge he had gained, Lumian thoughtfully asked the librarian next to him, "The Ancient Sun Gods saved humanity from the rule of these Ancient Gods?"
The librarian, who was more than three meters tall, flipped to the creation myth to a later page and pointed to it.
Lumian glanced over and saw the following description: "The all-knowing and all-powerful god has awakened, stepped out of the earth, defeated the old gods, and regained power."
"Note: In the present era, the all-knowing and all-powerful god is also called the ancient sun god......"
Really...... In other words, among the eight ancient gods, the demon king Fabuti is still alive, the vampire ancestor Lilith is suspected to be alive, and the others have fallen? Giant King Ormir ...... Why does this name sound familiar? Yes, the best red wines and the capital of Champagne, what do they have to do with the King of the Giants?...... Lumian asked cautiously, "Can you pronounce these two names in ordinary human language?"
"Vampire Ancestor's okay, Demon King's better not to try, even if you write, be cautious." The huge librarian replied, "None of us know if the Demon King has some special abilities. ”
Be careful when writing....... Are you devils like this? Well, the gods of the "Demon" path are still alive, this is an ancient god that has existed since the Second Age......... Lumian muttered a few words, his heart moved, and he took out a note with "Love Spell" written on it from the "Traveler's Bag": "Have you ever seen this name?" I met a devil before, who called himself this, and he couldn't say that he couldn't write but could only think. ”
The librarian took the note with a giant palm that could completely enclose Lumian's head, and his gaze swept over the name "Napole Disley".
He was lost in thought, and after a minute or two, he silently moved into the bookshelf area, and got a copy out of nowhere.
The title of the book is: A Collection of Rumors and Rumors Before the Cataclysm (1)
Simple and unpretentious name...... Lumian looked at the librarian as he opened the newly picked book, pointed to a piece of text, and said, "Sure enough, here it is."
Lumian stared intently and read silently: "After the Demon King Fabuti returned to the abyss with the demons, there are still occasional rumors of the devil tempting humans."
Among the names used by those demons were: "Bebris, Amos, Samael, Lilatan, Napoledisli."
"There are high-ranking 'witchers' who believe that there is a fake name of the demon king Fabuti in these names......"
The pseudonym of the demon king Fabuti? Lumian was startled, and a slight layer of sweat appeared behind his back.
Could it be that Napoli is the Demon King?
The sealed Scarlet Devil is the Demon King?
No, it's not like it, if it was really an ancient god, even if I just aimed at the silhouette at that time, I wouldn't have only the "sequelae" of bursting my eyes in a dream, and I would have collapsed uncontrollably on the spot...... Well, there may indeed be Fabuti's pseudonym in these names, but that doesn't mean that Napoli is ....... Lumian raised his right hand, wiped his sweat, and forced a smile to the librarian, "As an outsider, can I really read these books?" The above knowledge is precious. ”
The librarian replied calmly, "The Chief has told us that you are a contant of Mr. Fool."
"Okay." Lumian laughed.
It turns out that not every foreigner can come here to read.
The librarian didn't give him any more warning, and paced out of Lumian's place with the book that recorded the rumors before the cataclysm.
Lumian continued to read "Demonology" and "Creation Myths", alternating between them, sometimes taking breaks.
Towards evening, he barely finished the two books and left the Petronas Twin Towers.
He then released the accumulated spirit and "teleported" back to the "Berry" in Harbor Hunter.
Looking at the still bright sky, Lumian was sure that his investigation into the legend of the devil on the island of Khante was over.
The water was deep and muddy, and it was not something he could mix.
He no longer has any hesitation about the next itinerary and plans.
Since you haven't been able to completely digest the "Conspirator" potion this time, go to Sibailan and find "Hisoka" to hunt him to digest the potion and complete the promotion ceremony!
