Edwood suppressed his pounding heartbeat and opened the book. He saw eight big characters written on the first page: "If you want to practice magic, you must first commit suicide"~!
The words were written with great vigor and force, with silver hooks and iron strokes, which penetrated the paper and wanted to fly out. Even if you just glanced at it, you could still feel the coldness behind the words.
Although Edwood has been a lich for many years, he still couldn't help but shudder when he looked at those words and subconsciously crossed his legs.
His heart sank, and he thought secretly: "This... this technique is a bit weird. It is so powerful when it first comes out. It is even more brutal than us lichs. I want to take a closer look..."
While he was thinking about it, he couldn't help but turn to the second page: "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency by giving up the excess. This is not the case with the way of man. Mortals have many desires and cannot purify their hearts to learn. Only by abandoning desire and feeling can we learn.
success……"
When Edwood saw this, he realized that these words all came to his heart. He could hardly help but exclaim: Okay, that's so good~!
Human beings inherently have too many desires. The so-called seven emotions and six desires interfere too much with human beings. As a result, countless geniuses are trapped and unable to achieve anything.
I think back then, when he was studying in Maple Leaf Danlin, he was not the most talented among them, but just the hardest working among them.
There were several talented students who were far above him at the beginning. But without exception, they were always tied down by family, affection, love, children...etc., and were at a loss as to what to do, and in the end they could only become indifferent.
Everyone.
Only he has been studying hard, working hard, and always focusing on nothing, so he stood out and became the leader of their class, and finally became a lich...
Lord Luo has written many classic literary works that will last forever.
Regardless of the human race or the demon race, they are all recognized as unprecedented, unprecedented, and once-in-a-generation "thinkers" and great thinkers...and there is no one like them.
As a qualified dead man, and in the long and arduous struggle with several girlfriends, I have accumulated rich experience. I know clearly that the trick to lying is not to tell lies.
But among the nine truths, there is one lie~!
Only in this way can people be truly stunned.
This method can be said to be tried and true. At the very least, he has never failed in front of those girlfriends.
They have always believed that Sir Alex is loyal and honest, considerate and considerate, passionate but not sentimental, romantic but not vulgar, romantic but not dissolute, erotic but not mean... bah bah bah, that last sentence doesn't count.
The only drawback is that he is a little too nice to them and rarely loses his temper.
As for why there are so many girlfriends, it can only be blamed on their own faults and failure to live up to their expectations. This is what their fate is...
but……
come on~!
If Sir Alex was really a good guy, how could he have so many girlfriends? And how could he be able to move among these independent and self-reliant women with ease?
The most frightening thing is that when those women got together, they actually got along peacefully without getting jealous or fighting.
You know, even the emperor's harem, which strictly adheres to the best MBA management method in the world and has the best employees, cannot do this.
The counterpart to the Duke is the Second Master Lei. Look at the life-or-death situation he faced under Melina's hands - that is true loyalty and honesty~!
All these things that Sir Alex wrote seem to be correct. For example, they point out the generally recognized shortcomings of human beings, such as making people concentrate on studying.
These are all things that are included in primary school textbooks and everyone talks about them badly.
Then he added some specious theories to it. Things like "the Tao is Tao, but it is not Tao" and so on. The clouds and mountains shrouded in fog made people feel that there was some truth in this. They couldn't help but have more faith in these things.
A few points.
The Lich himself has a cruel and cold personality. When he suddenly saw this perverted thing, it was like a Nazi seeing "Mein Kampf". He immediately felt a huge appetite and felt every word of the pearl. He almost wanted to worship it.
The sage is clear.
Although this is about berserkers, Edwood found that this book is really worth it. Just from the general outline at the beginning, I felt that I benefited a lot after reading it.
Especially those few sentences about 'The Way of Heaven', which are simply philosophical classics. He even felt that after reading this general outline, he had some insights and breakthroughs in the theory of necromancy.
For a moment, he was quite forgetful. He wanted to read a few more pages. But then there was a fierce sound outside the door.
Edwood couldn't help but be startled. He looked around at the situation and then realized that this was not a library, but the reference room of the Flying Eagle Group.
He couldn't help but smile slightly. Looking at this book, he felt a lot like the hungry feeling he had when he was exposed to new knowledge for the first time. It was like holding a wonderful novel and having to read it in one sitting.
Only then will you feel comfortable.
He carefully closed the book and put it in his arms, then looked around again and found that there was nothing else in the safe. He was slightly disappointed and sighed with satisfaction.
It's really worth the trip.
Even though Lorraine was having fun with the Semitic tribe, this time, he took revenge for everything. Then that bastard was just waiting to sit on the ground and cry~!
It’s such a relief. Hahahaha...
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel more comfortable.
At this time, the sounds outside were getting louder and noisier.
Edwood couldn't help but frown. There was a heavy siege outside. He was carrying a lot of things, but how could he get out of the trap?

The soldiers of the security army surrounded the data room. The soldiers were as dense as ants stuck on a candy bar. They were thinking of various ways to break into the data room.
However, the reference room of the Alchemy Institute was built too solidly.
Most of the security soldiers of the Alchemy Research Institute personally participated in the construction of the data room.
The walls of the reference room are two feet thick stone walls, and the only two windows are sealed with several vertical and horizontal steel bars.
The door is made of a single piece of iron plate, one inch thick.
The soldier who broke the door wielded the largest hammer and hit the door with all his strength, sparking countless sparks, but the door did not move at all.
On the contrary, the soldier who broke the door had to replace him after a few hits, and the force of the rebound made his wrist numb.
The floor of the house is paved with long strips of bluestone one foot square, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of digging tunnels from below.
The cost of building this data room alone is enough to build a luxurious three-story villa.
The security soldiers on the roof used shovels, pickaxes and other tools to try to break open the roof, but it was difficult to break open the roof made of steel bars.
The security soldiers were digging desperately and yelling curses. At the same time, they were amazed in their hearts: How hard was the sneak attacker's bones? He could actually break open the roof and fall in.
However, even if they wanted to enter through the big hole punched by the attacker, it was impossible because the hole was also sealed by strange magic at this time.
The mages from the security army gathered from all directions and kept attacking there with various spells, but until now, there was still no progress.
At this time, the soldiers were regretting: Why did they build this place so strong in the first place? They might as well have cut corners.
Ronald, the captain of the security force, paced back and forth uneasily. He watched as the soldiers tried every means to break open the door to the information room.
But all the methods so far have had no effect, and time is passing by minute by minute.
"Damn it, that idiot built the house so solidly." Captain Ronald cursed bitterly, "He's just asking for trouble."
The officer behind the captain muttered to himself: "That fool you are talking about is our first and second boss."
Captain Ronald raised his wrist anxiously again and looked at the watch on his wrist. At this time, more than ten minutes had passed. Although the security forces surrounded the place, they were unable to catch the mage.
In ten minutes, it was enough for the sneak attack mage to steal everything inside.
Captain Ronald didn't need to close his eyes to imagine the anger of the big boss and the second boss.
Does he know that everything in this room is a treasure piled up by the Flying Eagle Group with gold and manpower?
All of them are Feiying's flagship products today. Whether it's a steam engine or a telegraph machine, any one of them is enough to shake the world.
Big boss Lorraine calls this place a treasure trove of knowledge and wealth.
These products are all the capital for the Feiying Group to be proud of the world in the future. They are the weapons for the bosses to dominate the world. They are also the capital for the Ruman Empire to dominate in the next five hundred years.
Of course the captain understands the importance of this. Whether the Flying Eagle Group can dominate the mainland in the future depends on these products.
Once these design data are stolen, the losses to the Flying Eagle Group will be immeasurable, and may even be so severe that they will directly destroy the Flying Eagle Group's future dreams.
And once the enemy gets it, a powerful enemy will appear in the empire~!
"We can't go on like this. We absolutely must not let that guy escape, otherwise he will be a historical sinner of the Security Army." The captain gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision, saying in a deep voice: "Push the artillery over here~!"
The officers around him were stunned for a moment.
"Boss, do you really want to go to the cannon? Is there a data room in there?" A person next to him asked worriedly.
Captain Ronald nodded and said with a serious expression: "I would rather destroy all those data than fall into the hands of outsiders. I will bear this responsibility. Push the cannon over. Alas..."
He sighed helplessly and thought to himself: I originally thought I could live a quiet life in Naian for a few days, but unexpectedly something happened.
Most of the members of the Security Army were subordinates of the Grand Duke Ruman on the Eastern Front. They retired and wanted to change their environment. This was also the place where Grand Duke Ruman resettled his subordinates.
Many people know that in the Flying Eagle Group they just do ordinary security work, nothing major.
I just didn't expect that this kind of emergency, which was only expected, would happen so quickly.
Seeing that their boss was determined, his subordinates responded loudly: "Yes~!"
They also know that there is really no better way to do this. All the capable people in Nidel have gone to the peacekeeping force or Maple Leaf Danlin, and now they lack experts here.
Soon, a cannon with a bright blue barrel was pushed to the door of the information room by more than a dozen security soldiers.
This cannon is still the latest experimental model, and the security forces who were mad at it pushed it directly from the experiment.
The cannon was pushed twenty or thirty meters away from the reference room. Under the angry command of the officer, the artillerymen with red eyes simply leveled the muzzle, pointed it directly at the door of the reference room, and then quickly loaded the ammunition.
.
After finishing, the gunner looked at the captain again.
Captain Ronald had a straight face and no expression could be seen.
He raised his arm with a determined expression and waved it down vigorously.
The cannon fired with a "boom" and hit the door instantly.
In the huge explosion, a huge hole was blown out of the data room, and half of the data room collapsed. The billowing dust flew up and hit everyone's faces, causing a burst of pain.
"Fuck me~!" the captain roared angrily. He now wanted to eat the guy inside alive.
The dust in the reference room has not yet settled when the soldiers of the security army drew their weapons and roared towards the reference room.
At this moment, a piercing scream was heard from the information room, and a black figure rushed out of the dust and flew straight into the sky.
"Fire, fire, fire quickly~!"
The officers saw it and immediately shouted at the top of their lungs.
The mages on the periphery threw the spells they had accumulated for a long time at the black shadow.
Behind the security soldiers, dozens of soldiers worked in pairs, manipulating an extra-large musket.
The person in front is carrying a steel pipe on his shoulder, and the person behind is holding the trigger in his hand.
They aimed at the black shadow flying in the air and pulled the trigger. There was a low explosion, and the muzzle of the big gun flashed red, and then spewed out white smoke.
Pieces of steel balls shot towards the dark shadows in the sky like a heavy rain. The dense steel balls even collided in the air, erasing sparks.
The black shadow was instantly covered by the dense rain of bullets, torn into pieces, and fell to the ground lightly.
These oversized firearms are medium and short-range weapons developed by the Institute of Alchemy Research, combining artillery and muskets.
Specially allocated to the security forces to defend important targets.
Although it is large and inconvenient to carry around, it makes up for the firepower blind spot of the artillery power and is very good at dealing with single or group targets at close range.
Just to prepare for situations like today.
The black shadow was torn into pieces, each piece no larger than an inch, slowly falling to the ground.
The mage of the security army wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he was far enough away. If he had not happened to fall within the range of the gun's fire just now, he would have been beaten to a pulp.
Captain Ronald took a closer look, and then blurted out: "No, it's fake~!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a long and arrogant laugh, "Hahahaha...".
Just when the black shadow was being bombarded, a figure had already rushed out of the collapsed house and quickly jumped into the air in the other direction to escape.
This figure also carried a bag about the same size as himself on his back.
Captain Ronald's vision went dark and he almost fainted from anger. Just from the size of this pocket, it can be seen that this guy has taken away a lot of good things.
At this time, the security soldiers who had just discharged their guns were nervously reloading.
Only the mage from the security army shouted "Stop, don't run~!".
Then he roared and bravely chased after him.
The remaining thousands of people could only stare helplessly.
The long laughter got farther and farther. It was obvious that the attacker was very fast and soon lost his voice.
The mage who chased him also flew back, shaking his head at the captain with a regretful expression on his face, and said: "That guy suddenly released a black mist. When I dispersed the black mist, no one could be found anymore."
The captain sighed, feeling unspeakably depressed. When he turned around, he saw everyone looking at him eagerly.
"We can't lose morale." The captain thought to himself, then steeled himself and loudly shouted in a loud voice: "Why are you guys so dazed? Clean the scene, count the losses, and put out the embers."
At this time, there was a loud sound of footsteps, and thousands of dark security army soldiers ran into the institute. An officer and his men quickly came to the captain, raised his hand and said: "Security Army Fifth Brigade
Come to support and obey your orders."
"Listen to your nonsense!" The captain cursed angrily and said, "What have you guys been up to? They've already run away."
The officer was stunned for a moment and muttered: "Run away..."
Then he glanced at the damaged data room. The data room was still burning, and the papers blown out by the artillery were now flying all over the floor. The captain of the fifth brigade said stupidly: "This is a big deal."
"You don't have to say that." The captain glared at him angrily.
The captain of the fifth team shrank in fear.
"Qiao Ke." A man walked out from behind the leader of the fifth regiment and called out in a low voice.
The person who suddenly appeared was wearing a silver and black security army officer uniform, with a golden twisted silk pattern on his shoulders, and a shining golden gem eagle emblem on his chest. He had a tall and straight figure, and although he had gray hair, he was still graceful.
.
The captain was stunned for a moment, then immediately saluted: "Captain Oliver."
Captain Oliver waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, Choko. What happened?"
Captain Qiao Ke, director of the Security Department of the Alchemy Research Institute, had a look of shame on his face and said: "A mage broke into the research room, stole a large number of documents and then escaped. His subordinates were incompetent and failed to stop this guy."
"Run away?" Captain Oliver showed a strange expression on his face and said, "Did he only steal the documents from the data room?"
Captain Qiao Ke nodded and said: "That guy first set a fire in the train workshop, and then went straight to the reference room."
Captain Choko was surprised to see a smile appear on Captain Oliver's face, but it flashed away and returned to the captain's dead face that had not changed for thousands of years.
Captain Choko wondered if he had seen it wrong.
Captain Oliver glanced at the data room and said, "Have you tried your best?"
The captain asked this strange question, and Qiao Ke was secretly surprised. The captain seemed not to care about the loss of the data room at all. This feeling was very strange.
Choco said: "Yes, captain, I ordered the house to be blasted with artillery, and all the guns were deployed to stop him. But that guy is very cunning."
Captain Oliver nodded with a straight face and said: "Just do your best. You did a good job, Choko."
But Qiao Ke saw keenly that there was a smile in Oliver's eyes.
Captain Qiao Ke said: "This subordinate is incompetent, please be punished by the captain."
Oliver waved his hand and said: "Okay, this has nothing to do with you. You will know what you should know, and you will know what you shouldn't...
Anyway, don't worry about this, no one will punish you, I can guarantee that.
Please handle the aftermath with peace of mind and take stock of the damage and report it to me. The big boss may be back this morning."
Qiao Ke was secretly wondering. He glanced at the data room. He could tell that Captain Oliver hinted that there was something weird about the data room, and more importantly, he was not at fault.
"The big boss is coming back?" Qiao Ke said in surprise. Lorraine and Leo have been gone for more than half a year. Without the two bosses Lorraine and Leo, the security army's life in Nai'an will inevitably be boring. Everyone has already gone.
I look forward to their return so that everyone can have the same fun as before.
Captain Oliver nodded and said calmly: "The attacker here must be a lich. It's good that there are no casualties among the brothers."
"Lich~!" Captain Qiao Ke was shocked and exclaimed.
Liches and necromancers seemed to be a thousand years away from Choco. He did not expect that he would be drawn into a war a thousand years ago in an instant.
If it were a lich, they wouldn't be able to see enough of it.
Captain Oliver glanced at him and said dissatisfied: "What a fuss. The big boss came back just for it."
Qiao Ke couldn't help but sigh. He was worthy of being the captain of the security army and the leader of the devil in black. He was calm and composed at all times. Talking about the lich was as easy as talking about a sheep.
Captain Oliver looked around at the messy yard, folded his hands on his chest, and said to himself: "No matter what, I still have to do it."
"Joko, Andrew." Captain Oliver turned around and ordered the two captains, "Go and ask Lord Angus for instructions to put the whole city under martial law and to arrest this thief.
Sent out city defense troops to set up checkpoints and search all pedestrians, vehicles and ships, and your people also took to the streets to conduct door-to-door checks. Don’t let go of anyone inside or outside the city. Seal the research institute and all research departments under the group.
In short, we must do... no, we must dig out this thief at all costs and recover the stolen losses."
That night, the people of Nidel were destined to be unable to sleep peacefully.
All city defense troops and legions stationed outside the city were mobilized, and the security forces also sent most of their manpower.
The noisy sound woke up the sleeping citizens. At this time, they all knew that in the middle of the night, Feiying's most important data room was stolen, and priceless treasures were lost.
Regardless of the army or civilians, everyone spent a long night. When dawn came a little bit and the sky was still dark, the war fortress appeared above the city of Nedel, and Lorraine was back.
