Chương 194: New Diary and Book of the Dead
On Friday night, Detective Isengard Stanton held another Beyonder gathering at the Bravehearts Bar.
Although this gathering was hardly enough to satisfy Ebner's needs, he still wanted to try his luck. In the end, he unexpectedly bought two pages of Roselle's diary, which cost him a total of 30 pounds.
Among the two transcribed manuscripts, one of the pages was a pile of meaningless Chinese characters. Someone must have randomly pieced together a bunch of sentences based on the original "symbols."
However, Ebner couldn't expose the seller's trick on the spot. Wouldn't that be equivalent to telling others that he could understand Roselle's text? Besides, the seller might not even know it himself.
Fortunately, the content on the other page was relatively normal.
After returning to the garden villa in Cherwood Borough, Ebner picked up the diary and read it seriously.
"4th March. Today, Cullen and I parted on bad terms again! I was very angry. I couldn't understand why he was so stubborn and why he was so determined to stop me from exploring the Fog Sea!
He always looks lazy and doesn't really care about many things. Furthermore, he didn't stop me when I was exploring the Berserk Sea… Could there really be some secret hidden in the Fog Sea? And this secret is related to the Sanguine?
"After careful consideration, I still decided to explore the Fog Sea in-depth. However, before that, I have to think of a way to obtain a ghost ship. I previously obtained some clues from some rumors near the Oraldec Archipelago.
"If Cullen doesn't want to follow, then forget it. I still have Edwards and Grimm."
Ebner frowned subconsciously after reading the diary. In his memory, the Emperor seemed to have been contaminated during his exploration of the Fog Sea. As for what was contaminated, he could not recall.
However, he had already experienced similar situations many times. He knew that this probably involved knowledge that he shouldn't know at the moment, so he ignored it first. A similar doubt arose in his mind as Roselle.
"Cullen is strongly against Roselle exploring the Fog Sea. Does he really know what's there?"
However, he quickly rejected this idea. After all, Cullen was only a vampire viscount. The other party wouldn't be able to withstand his dangerous knowledge.
So, is it the Sanguine or the Church of Earth Mother warning Roselle through Cullen? However, that's not enough… If it's really the Church or Sanguine interfering behind the scenes, with Roselle's strength at the Mid-Sequence level, it's impossible for him to leave the sea.
At this thought, Ebner considered summoning the little bird "Silika" and writing a letter to ask Cullen, but he could not find an excuse to know…
After all, my relationship with Cullen isn't good enough for me to easily inquire about secrets. Besides, I'm not willing to take the risk for Roselle's past.
With a sigh, Ebner dismissed the idea of writing the letter and began packing his bags for the weekend off to go camping and exploring with Susan and Roman's club.
However, who knew that on Friday night, the weather around Backlund would suddenly change. The winds would surge, and dark clouds would stack up. Then, it would rain heavily when it was almost daybreak.
Such weather was clearly unsuitable for camping, so Susan's servants came to the door on Saturday morning in the rain to inform Ebner that camping had been forced to be canceled and changed to the next Saturday's news.
The downpour lasted for two days until Sunday afternoon when Ebner took advantage of the rare moment of comfort brought by the downpour and stayed in the villa reading the Book of Dead Souls he had obtained from Jane.
Although the Book of Dead was made of rather magical material, the words written on it lacked spirituality. It was purely Hermes.
But the terrifying thing was that once those words were combined, it seemed to have the ability to influence one's thoughts, making one want to return to the Underworld…
Without activating the White Eye, Ebner only dared to read for five minutes. Once that time passed, his Spirit Body would involuntarily feel as though it was leaving his body.
This book is too dangerous for the current Klein and the other Tarot Club members. It's better to wait until Mr. World is online before using it to make a deal.
With that in mind, Ebner closed the pages of the Book of the Dead and put them back in the cellophane case so that it and the Sword of Dawn could seal each other.
After two days of reading, it was not that he did not gain anything. Not only did he master a lot of ritualistic magic in the aspect of undead, but he also obtained the refining and contracting method of a bone dragon.
Once he succeeded, not only would he immediately possess a summoning item equivalent to a demigod, but he could also control a bone dragon to traverse the spirit world.
It was a pity that the materials were too difficult. Not to mention those supplementary materials, although they were precious, as long as one was willing to spend money, they could buy them. However, the main material needed to refine the bone dragon required the complete skeleton of a semi-god rank dragon and a wisp of death aura from Calderón City.
I wonder if there's a complete dragon skeleton in the Forsaken Land of the Gods. I can ask when The Sun enters the meeting on Monday… However, even if there is, it's not something The Sun can obtain right now. It's probably impossible to obtain it in a short period of time.
As for the death aura in Calderón City, I can wait for the future Gehrman to explore it and get some…
…
Just as Ebner was thinking about The Sun and The World, the two of them were actually conversing in Sefirah Castle.
Having been suddenly pulled into the mysterious space above the gray fog, Derrick looked at the mysterious existence seated high in front of him and recalled the principle of "equivalent exchange" that he had just mentioned. After a long while, he said firmly,
"I wish to obtain the potion formula for The Sun's initial Sequence from you."
Sequence, potion, Sun… The Sequence pathway is controlled by the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun… From the looks of it, they might really be in the same world…
And the word "Sequence" was born after the first Blasphemy Slate appeared, which was the end of the Second Epoch's Dark Epoch… In other words, if the City of Silver was really in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, it meant that this region was separated from the Northern and Southern Continents at the end of the Second Epoch…
Could this be related to the Cataclysm of the Third Epoch? Legend had it that the Evernight Goddess, Earth Mother, and the God of Combat had appeared, and together with the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, they had protected humanity through the Cataclysm…
Yes, it seems like Mr. Tower knows quite a bit about history. When he sees this youth tomorrow, he might have some guesses.
As Klein thought this, he was also stumped over how to obtain the potion formula for The Sun. Although he might be able to find Tower and The Hanged Man, wouldn't that make Mr. Fool appear redundant?
Yes, I should temporarily safeguard 3-0782 later. Perhaps I can divine something from it…
Klein maintained his posture and replied calmly,
"This deal can be left to the next two days. You'd better stay out of the house for the next two days. Try not to stay in the same room as the others."
"…Alright, I'll follow your instructions," Derrick replied with his head lowered, not raising any objections.
Klein secretly heaved a sigh of relief as he tapped the edge of the table.
"Before sending you back, let us complete the equivalent exchange. I gave you a chance to become stronger, and you have to pay the corresponding price."
Derrick thought for a moment and replied in a deep voice,
"I will describe it truthfully."
Following that, he described the City of Silver's creation myth, history, and the current basic situation to Klein in detail. He also introduced the two pathways he knew of—Warrior and Secrets Suppliant.
As Klein pondered, he tapped the edge of the long table with his fingers. Suddenly, he asked again, "Do you know the son of the Dragon King?"
"I do, Mr. Fool. King of Dragons Ankewelt is also known as the Dragon of Imagination. And his son, Alzuhod, is said to be able to envelop the sky and look down on the land and sea! He's a famous powerhouse. His title is the Dragon of Nightmare," Derrick said as he recalled the teaching materials.
The Dragon of Nightmare? This matched the contents of the previous page of Roselle's diary. With so much evidence, it seemed like the place where the youth was really belonged to this world.
Klein nodded and pointed to the surface of the long bronze table with a smile. "Now, you need to confirm your code name." A tarot card had already appeared there.
Derrick took two steps forward and flipped through the tarot cards. Without any hesitation, he said,
"Sun. I choose Sun."
…
Not long later, Klein, who was in Lamud Town, successfully divined that the source of the Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem was a drop of golden blood.
Following that, he curiously and excitedly wrote the divination statement:
"The source of this golden liquid."
