Chapter 14: The Book of the Dead

"What did the man who brought you into this world teach you?" Sebas's tone was a little helpless.

"The true names of all true gods cannot be easily called, they are aware of it, and if they think you are disrespectful to them, they will be punished."

"Is that so...."Char nodded suddenly, "I understand, I'll pay attention next time." ”

Sebas's brow furrowed, and he continued, "But fortunately, Lord Death is also asleep now, and he will not wake up because you called his real name. ”

After a pause, he said with some confusion, "But.... The real name of that adult, even within the Grim Reaper, is rarely known, so why do you know it? ”

"I used to hear a lot of myths." Char said truthfully.

It seems that his name is correct, and the gods of death and sleep in their mouths should come from Greek mythology.

"Mythology?" Sebas was even more puzzled, he really couldn't think of any myths about the Grim Reaper.

The Grim Reaper did not have a high status in the god system in the past, and was feared by many people, so naturally there would be no myths handed down.

"What about the rest of the gods?" Char continued to ask.

"Gods exist on the basis of concepts." "Because of a number of reasons, because of the rise of a new god system, and because of the progress of human civilization, the world is gradually being analyzed, and people are gradually losing their fear of God."

The power of the gods has weakened with the ages, and some have died, while others have fallen into eternal sleep.

But in this world, there are two concepts that will not disappear as long as human beings exist. ”

"Death and sleep." Char said.

"You are very smart," Sebas praised, "Death and sleep have been given a higher mission in the new era, death governs the order of the dead, and sleep manages the order of dreams, balancing the unreal and the real." ”

Char nodded, "Thank you for telling me this." ”

"No thanks, just some basic knowledge."

Sebas said that he looked at Char and said seriously, "In the decades that I have been the Grim Reaper, this is the first time I have seen the existence of a wizard.

Even some of my predecessors had never met a wizard.

I've heard some of my older predecessors describe your abilities, and some of you can even play with souls, and that's my job.

If you don't know these basic knowledge and rules, it will cause me unnecessary trouble. ”

"You can fix this now." Char said with interest.

But Sebas shook his head, "I don't know your strength, and I don't know if I can defeat you, if I can, maybe once and for all, but if I can't, I'll get into trouble for no reason."

Moreover, you may have teachers, and even if I can kill you, it may invite trouble.

Now we don't have any conflicts of interest or contradictions, and I don't need to take that risk.

If I could, I would have preferred that we could be friends.

I don't have a strong sense of mission, for me, "Grim Reaper" is just a profession, but I don't want to lose this job.

You give me a convenience, and I can also give you a convenience. ”

"You're very transparent." Char smiled, "My name is Char, and I live in the imperial capital, 221B Doyle Street, so it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Sebas also smiled, "I'm going to take this guy to hell next to be judged, and when I have time, I'll definitely come to your door for a drink." ”

Char raised her eyebrows and teased, "It doesn't seem lucky to be approached by death." ”

"I have a shop in the Imperial Capital and most of the time I'll be there, 122C Cole Street."

Sebas said, grasping one end of the chain with one hand and stepping on the nightmare, while the other hand was raised, and a quaint parchment appeared in his hand, and the parchment opened automatically like a bird flapping its wings, and he looked at the words on the book and read to the nightmare.

"Dream Demon Hagulus, you have violated Article 3 of the Regulations of Hell by entering the human world without permission, and Article 32 by encroaching on human bodies.

You will be taken back to Hell, where you will be judged and punished with the severest punishment! ”

Oss's eyes widened slightly, his eyes were obviously a little more frightened, and he struggled violently, but soon, the chains continued to spread to the upper half of his face, which was still exposed to the air, and the whole person was bound by chains like a mummy.

"What's that?" Char looked at the book in his hand and asked with some curiosity.

"The Book of the Dead." Sebas said, "The three goddesses of fate have given the god of death an artifact, of course, this one in my hand is only a copy, and the real original text is in the hands of that adult."

The names of all the people who are dying in the vicinity will appear on the book, along with the location, and I will only need to guide the soul based on the information above.

And at the same time, you can check everyone's lifespan, name, life experience, etc., and even demons can find some information, of course, the real name can't be found.

Only the true god or some other special beings cannot be found. ”

Char looked at the book with some curiosity, and on the page were three goddesses with their eyes closed, which seemed to be the three goddesses of fate in his mouth.

Probably.... It's something like a book of life and death, Char thought to herself.

"Can you check me out?" Char asked, "I wonder how long I can live." ”

"This...."Sebas looked a little embarrassed.

"Can't you?" Char asked.

"When the Grim Reaper is active in this world, it is inevitable that he will make some friends in the world, so it is not without the Grim Reaper that the Book of the Dead is shown to mortals."

"But everybody is afraid of death, and when they know when they or the most important person will die, they will always have the idea of wanting to change all that." ”

"Has anyone done this before?" Char asked with interest.

Sebas nodded, "The end result wasn't rosy.

All the names that appear in the Book of the Dead have been declared dead by fate, which is a certain number.

All those who try to rebel against fate must pay a price.

The man who had been interfered with in his death did live a little longer, but by the time he died, a man who should not have died died because of him.

It was the one who interfered with his death.

Even the Grim Reaper, who leaked the information, was affected. ”

Is cause and effect......

Char thought to herself.

It was no different from the knowledge he had gained from the old man.

Reversing such a great cause and effect as a given death must pay the same death.

Destiny is certain, but there are also variables.

Since that man has lived a few more years, his fate has actually been changed.

It's just that those who made a move to change their fate paid a heavy price.

If it is someone who can pay the price to change his fate, it may be another ending.

But perhaps only gods and other beings who are more powerful than humans can pay the price.

But changing the fate of mankind means nothing to God.

And the gods, too, cannot afford to change the fate of the gods......

"If that's the case, then forget it." Char said, "I don't have to know anything, and I think I should live a long time." ”

"It's true that wizards generally live a long life." Sebas nodded.

"Then, I'll go first, I still have something to do." Char said.

Sebas nodded, "I'm going to send this nightmare to Hades too." ”

"Remember to come to me for a drink." Char laughed.

With that, Char also turned around and flew away.

Sebas did not leave immediately, but watched Char's departing back, and suddenly, he spread out the Book of the Dead in his hand and aimed at Char who was gradually moving away.

The Book of the Dead in his hand flipped through it as quickly as a bird flapping its wings, searching for Char's information in it.

It had been a long time since he had seen a wizard in the human world, so he was also very curious about Char's experience.

At first, Silas's expression was very calm, but as time passed, his expression changed from calm, to doubtful, to confused....

Five minutes later, he looked at the book he was still searching for in his hand, and his expression had completely lost his previous calmness.

His Adam's apple moved, he swallowed heavily, and raised his head sharply, looking at Char's departing direction in disbelief.

He had never seen the Book of the Dead retrieve a person for so long.

In this case, there is only one possibility, and that is....

There is no record of the person in front of him in the Book of the Dead.

And only the existence of the true god level cannot be retrieved....

Silas remembered Char's words and deeds before.

"Is your original Grim Reaper's name Thanatos?"

Calling the name of death, there is no awe or fear in the tone, only disapproval and indifference, as if calling a junior who has not been seen for a long time.

He had thought it was just the wizard's ignorance, but now that he thinks about it....

How many people in this world know the real name of death?

Speaking of which, wizards haven't been seen in hundreds of years.

Over the years, the mystery has been rapidly weakening, there is no soil for wizards to survive at all, and the emergence of new wizards is even more impossible.

It was just too strange for such a wizard to suddenly appear at this moment.

There is only one possibility..... This "wizard" may have lived hundreds of years ago to the present, or even earlier.....

No, the Book of the Dead can't be found, he can't be a wizard, it's a much more terrifying being.

Silas's hairs stood on end slightly, and he disappeared in place with the nightmare in a cloud of black smoke.....
