Griffith asked. After the battle, he had not yet had time to take action himself.
"The sailors have sealed his cabin and left someone on duty," Amber nodded, "I watched them do it. As for the luggage and cargo checked in with the ship, the cargo hold has been sealed, and it is better to wait until it arrives at the port to be handled by professionals.
Check it out.”
"The Collection of Linyuan" is not the target of Griffith's mission. The suspected fallen mage he needs to search for in his mission has been eliminated, but a certain dark magic item he is carrying is likely to be related to his disgusting insect form.
.On the second night of the voyage, Griffith heard a strange sound from the bottom of the ship that drove him crazy. This sound was probably made by the dark magic item.
Moreover, this item is probably still placed in a corner of the cargo hold. Once the officials of Neopolis Island complete the investigation, Griffith can report that he has completed his mission.
However, why was there nothing in the box when Amber and I searched it? Although the box had aura left in it, it was not a sealed item or a black magic item. Who took the items inside? Griffith's brain was running rapidly.
Trying to sort out the context of this incident.
Is it possible that Quark'Thor is not actually the real mission target, and that there are other fallen mages and black magic items on the ship?
Griffith felt nervous. The Vernal Equinox will not arrive at Neopolis Island until tomorrow. Now is not the time to relax.
"Amber, it seems I have to have a drink with you another day," Griffith said. "I want to take a rest. From now until we arrive at the port, we must take turns guarding this sealed artifact."
There were many strange and incomprehensible expressions on the trainee investigator's face, and it took her a while to realize: "Ah, I understand, the matter may not be over."
"That's right," Griffith responded, found a blanket to cover himself and fell asleep.
…
The rest of the journey seemed to be uneventful, and the Linyuan Collection, which was guarded by two people in turns, was no different at all.
"I'm going to take a shower in the crew lounge, can you watch me here?" Amber, who was getting ready to take a break during her shift, stretched her slim curves and asked with a yawn.
"go quickly."
It was at this time that Minos' will appeared: "Minos suggests that you seize the time and briefly read the Linyuan Collection. Some of the mythological knowledge in it will be very helpful."
"That's too dangerous." Griffiths shook his head repeatedly, "Amber's memo clearly states that reading is dangerous, and it killed a wizard."
"It is meaningless to talk about toxicity regardless of dose," Minos continued to persuade. "Reading books and sealed items will cause the loss of sanity, but obtaining the knowledge that is useful to you at this stage is not enough to cause substantial risks. Minos
We will send you prompts in time."
Griffith was a little moved.
"My friend, if you are unwilling to take risks, Minos cannot force you,
"However, the continuous events should make you realize that danger is inevitable, that the whirlpool is sucking you in, and that stagnation and avoidance will only leave you helpless when the inevitable threat does come."
This last sentence convinced Griffith. He stood up and walked to the crack of the door and looked outside. After making sure that no one was present, he turned around and opened the box containing "Lin Yuan Collection" and started reading.
This is actually a novel!
The male protagonist is a thirteen-year-old boy, and he spends a pleasant summer in a remote village with several girls of similar age. The story of "Lin Yuan Collection" seems unexpectedly interesting at first glance, not scary at all.
of sealed objects.
However, when night falls, accompanied by bursts of cicada chirping, strange events will occur in the village. The girls in the story have disappeared or been killed one after another. The boy tried hard to find and rescue them, but only found broken bodies and
Crazy clues, the atmosphere is extremely weird and terrifying.
Griffith, who was reading carefully, couldn't help but pick up his feet and cover himself with a blanket. Although the story was scary, it was very attractive. If Amber opened the door and came in at this time, Griffith would have no way to give up reading, or even
I have a feeling that he will read it at all costs.
The first story ended when the boy and his friends were all killed or disappeared, and Griffith failed to understand a single clue or occult knowledge.
Curiosity drove him to continue reading.
The second story actually still revolves around the group of boys and girls. They live in the same village, have the same names and backgrounds, and play different games. However, the dialogue and emotions of the characters are slightly different.
In the end, none of them survived.
Griffith was completely fascinated, forgetting that this was a sealed book and concentrating on reading it.
When Amber opened the door and came back, he immediately hid the sealed object behind his back, pretending to be nonchalant, waiting for the girl to fall asleep, and then continued reading.
The third and fourth stories are still tragedies that happen over and over again. The protagonists seem to be aware of the abnormality and horror, and try hard to change something, but their struggles are in vain, and death and madness come in a more terrifying, tragic, and unimaginable way.
.
There is a vague feeling that the protagonists of the story are like domestic animals, being dragged bit by bit towards the abyss of eternal destruction under the gaze of an undetectable and ubiquitous existence.
However, Griffith begins to notice some clues. As long as he keeps reading, he or the protagonists may be able to solve the mystery.
"My friend, please stop."
Minos's voice suddenly appeared, "Through the reading just now, we have obtained some terrifying and evil occult knowledge and spells. Continuing such behavior will cause irreversible damage. Please cherish your sanity and life."
.”
Danger? Damage? This is just a novel! Griffith instinctively wanted to refuse.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear footsteps and breathing in the silent cabin, as well as distant, imperceptible whispers. In the corner where the candlelight could not illuminate, there seemed to be something crawling.
Griffith was taken aback. His body instinctively became excited, and a strong blood surged up, driving away all curiosity and fear.
"What happened?" Amber seemed to notice something and sat up, rubbing her eyes and asked.
"No, it's nothing. You still have one hour to change your shift," Griffith said hurriedly. His throat was extremely dry, and his tone was full of guilt. If the girl was awake, she would definitely be able to detect it.
Amber didn't ask anything and fell asleep.
Phew~ So be it. Griffith reluctantly put the sealed object back into the iron box and locked it carefully.
At the same time, he learned some terrible knowledge.
He knew the evil knowledge of resurrection of the dead and domination of the undead. However, the possible existence of devouring and healing spells, evil summoning and sacrificial rituals in the "Lin Yuan Collection" that had not yet been fully read was not yet known.
Once these evil spells are activated, corpses within a 30-yard radius will be resurrected. At the beginning, no more than three resurrected corpses will be resurrected at a time. As they exhaust their stored energy, they will resurrect after an hour.
Will be completely disintegrated. These living corpses are not strong or intelligent, but they can still feel the astonishing evil!
Although the resurrection of the dead now only lasts for an hour, the dead are indeed moving again.
Through the undead control technique, you can easily enslave weak undead, turn them into puppets that you can control at will, and share a small amount of memory and power with them.
Griffith could imagine how powerful it was to resurrect the dead and control them. Even in the Forbidden Library of Homemworth, there was no such evil and powerful power that could distort the fate of life and death and awaken the dead.
Do the corpses moving in the bottom cabin, and even the living corpses encountered with Galadia a long time ago, have any connection with this "Lin Yuan Collection"?
…
In the early morning of January 9, 1444, the Equinox finally arrived safely at the port of Neopolis.
Before everyone saw the land, they saw a towering and sacred colossus standing on the coast. It was a wonder left by Poseidon, the god who had long gone to the spiritual world, and was in charge of the sea, storms and adventure. He had a human-shaped upper body and
The huge fish tail covered with scales and the base of the colossus are engraved with: "Facing the eternal sublimity, let time bring all the ups and downs and be annihilated in its own insignificance."
A team of Beyonders, a large number of garrison troops, police and doctors were already waiting there and quickly took over the search work. A middle-aged man dressed as a mage boarded the ship first.
"The two must be the Griffith trainee knight, the Sequence 8 agent of the Larmore family, and Amber, the Sequence 8 investigator from the Beacon." The middle-aged man raised his hand and nodded the hood on his head.
, I said hello, "I am Caius Conix, the mage stationed on Neopolis Island. Please report your activities to me in time during your stay on the island, and you are obliged to perform relevant tasks. From now on.
From now on, my people will take over the search for fallen mages and dark magic items."
The formal management of Extraordinaries who are affiliated with the royal government, nobles or academies is very strict. Everywhere they go, they must report their itinerary and work to the authorities, as well as the results and seizures, and must cooperate with local actions when necessary.
This system of restricting freedom is very objectionable, so many demon hunters have chosen to freelance and accept official registration, but deliberately avoid tasks and reporting.
Amber, who came from the academy, didn't like this kind of restricted life, and the mage's arrogance also made her uncomfortable. Her thin eyebrows frowned slightly, but she didn't accept the order but didn't express resistance either.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Regional Commander."
Griffith almost subconsciously put his feet together, hammered his chest with his right hand, and looked directly at the stationed mage without hesitation.
The corners of Mage Conix's lips could not help but curl up. From the bottom of his heart, he was very impressed by the trainee knight's unreserved obedience and loyalty, even though this loyalty should not belong to him.
The resident mage raised his right hand and pressed it down slightly, indicating that he understood the kindness, and then said in a light tone,
"Mr. Trainee Knight, congratulations. After killing the mountain monster, the blood baron and the aberration, your extraordinary creature results have reached three. As long as you get two more results of sequence 8 or above, you will get the Silver Eagle Banner.
medal;"
"Get off the ship and do some inspections and records. I will arrange a search. If there is any news or next instructions, you will be notified."
