After Li Yan and his group followed the mayor to sit down in a relatively spacious double-storey house in the center of the town, they listened to the old mayor's speech in a painful tone, and everyone truly understood the whole story.

Originally, although the town of Mokto was a little remote, the lives of the townsmen were quite happy, because they were on a crossroads connecting east-west and south, and occasionally there were caravans or adventurers passing by, bringing extra income to the townsmen. As Lofield said, there was even a tavern that specialized in providing passers-by and purchasing supplies. [..com]

But all this changed at the end of last year. At that time, the Black Hacky, who was surrounded by Pompeii's army, fled to the desolate south of Hornberg in order to avoid the army's pursuit and rest. Next, the town of Moquet, not far from the Bloody Alley, almost suffered a catastrophe. This was a nightmare encounter. One night, the Black Hacky raised a butcher knife to this peaceful town. In order to suppress the resistance of the townsmen, he slaughtered almost all the strong young people in the town, leaving only the old, weak, women, and young, like a captive animal, he visited here to rob and enjoy it every time.

"The enthusiastic Lark was killed that night." When he said this, the old mayor was already sobbing. "I pity my grandson, who is less than 16 years old, was just playing in a tavern and they cut off their heads!"

There was already a whimper outside the door, and the adventurers and some soldiers sitting around two large scarred wooden tables in the house sighed heavily, 'This world is so cruel. If it weren't for Mr. Allen, we would have become corpses at this moment.'

Thinking of this, looking at the unlucky but extremely stable back, the originally depressed mood was a little relaxed and I was very grateful.

"Don't be sad anymore. The black blind man has been eliminated, and the dead relatives will be liberated. You should be happy." Lofield softly comforted the old mayor.

"Yes, thank you." The old mayor stood up with his eyes and nodded repeatedly. "I have arranged lunch for the Warriors outside. If you need to rest, you can go upstairs directly. This place was originally Lark's tavern. We have cleaned it up and it is very suitable for you to stay overnight. I won't disturb the Warriors' dining. If you need it, you can ask any residents here to call me at the town."

"Okay, please go first." When the Knights sent the old mayor out of the door, facing the food adventurers, they could no longer bear it, and knives and forks were raised! The soldiers who were originally sitting upright saw that the meat on the table had decreased by half in an instant and could no longer calm down. They chose the latter without any moral integrity between reserve and food.

"cheers!"

The joyful atmosphere dispels the original sadness.

After a long time, after a fight for the oily face, Robin pulled Li Yan's sleeve: "Mr. Allen, how about this?"

Turning his head, Li Yan found that the boy's left hand was placing under the table with a book slantedly. The book was very thin, about 5 mm, and the cover was exquisitely made and looked brand new.

With a smile on his face, Li Yan said, "It looks good, where did you get it?"

With his right index finger pointed forward under the table, Robin said softly: "It's the broken counter. When I first came in, the room was quite messy. I walked around here and saw it under the counter." He scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Mr. Allen, I don't know too many words. What book is this?"

At this time, the adventurers and soldiers were drinking and chatting, and no one noticed Li Yan and Robin sitting alone in the noise.

"Let me see." With a smile, Li Yan stretched out his left hand and took the book in the boy's hand.

However, the moment Li Yan's hand touched the book, a strong throbbing suddenly rose from his soul. At this moment, in his mind, the world around him suddenly twisted, as if he had escaped into a different space and even time stopped, and the whole world showed a strange silence.

This feeling came violently and went faster. Before Li Yan's thoughts could react subconsciously, it disappeared. Then under the action of "constant temperature technique", the air that became cool and the noise that came from the surroundings came to his face.

"Mr. Allen?" Seeing Li Yan seemingly stunned, Robin said curiously.

"Huh?" Li Yan, who was awakened by Robin's voice and came to his senses, then he realized that a cold sweat had appeared on his body, "I am recalling some books I have read."

He found a reason to make excuses and took the book to his robe. Li Yan carefully stroked and checked it. However, it seemed as if everything had just been an illusion. The book he repeatedly touched had no reaction any more. Even if he carefully checked it with his mental power, he could not find any strange places. This is an ordinary book!

But Li Yan was absolutely sure that the violent throbbing from the soul just now would not be an illusion, but he had not discovered the hidden secrets.

He let out a light breath and did not overturn the book in vain. Li Yan said to Robin, who was looking at him, "This book is interesting. I want to read it first, is it OK?"

"Ha, you can just take it. I can't understand it anyway." Seeing Mr. Alan who could help him admire him, Robin answered quickly without hesitation.

"Thank you." Looking at the young man who was excited by his words of thanking, Li Yan smiled knowingly, cast a "cleaning technique" on himself and quietly put the book in his arms.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The gorgeous galaxy once again hung high on this night. After completing the afternoon trip, Li Yan's team had already set up camp more than 60 kilometers away from Mokedo Town.

The way of civil and military affairs is to relax and relax. This sentence is indeed true. In the Hornberg Wasteland, he suffered repeated hardships and fought with the Black Blind. The originally exhausted people recovered their energy and strength under the reception of good wine and meat in Mokdo Town. In addition, they had already passed through the dangerous wasteland and walked on the road for people to walk on a special journey for people to walk without having to keep their nerves tight at all times. Without deliberately accelerating and taking the wounded, the team actually crossed 60 kilometers.

So Lofield commanded the team to stop early and took out the large amount of bacon and soju that the residents of Mokdo Town had specially provided to the team. The adventurers and soldiers were laughing and laughing. Another good news was that the most injured Knight Bo Peng finally woke up in the evening.

Although after confirmation, the right wrist could not exert force again, he finally saved his life. Finally, with the encouragement of the Knight, he quickly opened his mind and cheered up.

It was already late at night. Except for a few adventurers and soldiers who had to watch, everyone else went to sleep, with high or low snoring one after another.

Moving to a slightly hidden place, Li Yan took out the book in his arms. At this moment, the book that brought him violently throbbing at noon seemed ordinary. The cover packaging seemed leathery, and it felt smooth and elastic to the touch, and some flower-like patterns were all over it. Under the dim light, there were vaguely two common word "Legend" similar to the regular script on the earth.

‘Legend? It seems that I have never seen the relevant information of this book.’ After a while of no results, Li Yan simply opened the book.

This book is really thin. The thick covers on the front and back of the book are only 5 mm thick, and the paper inside is also thicker than half of the thickness. So in just three minutes, Li Yan, who had already had a very high IQ, finished it. He was still worried about missing some key content. He repeatedly compared the information recorded in the book with some materials he had read before.

Li Yan frowned. The book was closed and he recorded a simple story, which started with "a long time ago". Then he told how powerful a magician was. The whole story was rough and simple when placed on the earth. Even the children who liked to read fairy tales would be disdainful.

‘Since the content recorded was not discovered, it is likely that there was something wrong with the book itself.’ His right index finger gently tapped the leather cover. Without hesitation, Li Yan quietly took out the sharp knife prepared before departure from the space ring in his left hand and gently cut the front cover page.

Sure enough, as the surface of the cut leather cover was unveiled, a rectangular page about 2.5 cm wide and 3.5 cm long was revealed. This was a metal-like texture, and covered it with thickness like ordinary textiles on Earth. The smooth page shone with bronze reflections under the light of the bonfire. The mass is very light, and you can hardly feel any weight when you hold it in your hand.

After carefully reading this page, there was still no result. It seemed that this was the most ordinary metal hard object, which was specially used by the creator of this book to support the cover. He frowned, but Li Yan always felt something was wrong, and it seemed that there was a place he had missed.

Holding one side of the page with both hands, he twisted it unconsciously, and a feeling of firmly blocking the fingers as if pinching onto a thick steel plate.

‘That’s how it feels!’ Li Yan suddenly reacted. When he was just looking at this page, his fingers holding the page would inevitably twist unconsciously. If it was a normal item, it would have slightly deformed even if it was made of alloy. However, this thin page less than a millimeter was like an inch thick steel plate that was still moving!

When he discovered something suspicious, Li Yan immediately took action, put it on his knees and grabbed both sides with his hands and pressed it down.

A strange thing happened, and it didn't move at all! Even if Li Yan almost used all his strength, this page still didn't move at all! It was as powerful as you let the breeze blow over the hills!

You know, Li Yan's strength is not low now, surpassing the physical fitness of a first-level swordsman. In short, even half a centimeter-thick steel plate on the earth will be broken by him!
