Chapter 1039

But the contents of this book may not be safe.

Dak wiped the gold powder on the title of the book and thought: "If I remember correctly, this should be the Luling script mentioned by Professor Ryan Hakes in the History of Magic, which was widely used in the Kingdom of Luling.

It was a small country located underground and it was destroyed a thousand years ago. If we want to interpret it, we need a translation book."

"I'll find it!" "Fox Beast" blurted out.

Dak smiled helplessly: "I'll find it."

It took another half an hour for Dak to find the translation book of Luling script according to the label.

Then he did not stay in the library any longer, but went directly to the counter to borrow books, then went to the cafeteria for a simple meal, and then went straight back to the dormitory.

After he sat down, he glanced at the wall clock and said to himself: "It's six o'clock, there is still an hour of free time, I can take a look first."

So he opened the "Book of the Dead" and checked it from the beginning with the translation book.

Luling characters are not complicated, but they are troublesome, and the recognition between characters is very low, which seems very laborious.

This was the first time that Dak had in-depth contact with Luling characters, so the progress was very slow at the beginning, and it took him half an hour to translate the first page.

But as his proficiency in character recognition gradually increased, the translation speed also accelerated.

An hour later, he roughly translated the preface of this "Dead Book" and finally had a basic understanding of the book.

First of all, this is a "Dead Book".

It looks very thick, but in fact, because the material of the pages is thick, the content of the whole book is not much.

According to the previous article, the subsequent content is basically about how to collect the fragments of the soul from the corpse and then sew it into a "complete" soul that can be used.

The author of this book calls the sewed soul "corpse soul".

Because the "corpse soul" is made of fragments of different souls, its consciousness is extremely chaotic. It is basically an evil spirit without thoughts and can only follow orders to do some simple work.

In addition, the corpses he used to collect soul fragments were stolen from mass graves, and the quality was very poor, so the souls after being patched up were extremely weak.

However, small people also have ambitions. The author of the "Dead Soul Book" fantasized in the book about collecting the remaining soul fragments from the corpses of the strong, and then stitching them into a powerful "corpse soul".

In short, this is not a normal book that should appear in the hands of students.

Dak closed the book, took a deep breath, and stuffed it into the drawer, and told "Demon Fox Beast": "Don't read it before I allow it."

"Demon Fox Beast" has been standing beside him, and he nodded immediately at this time.

It also vaguely felt the danger of this "Dead Soul Book" from Dak's attitude.

This is a taboo book.

...

During the "Astrology Class", Dak was absent-minded. He could only learn 30% of the content he could learn, but in the end he only learned 20%, and the remaining 80% could only be understood after class.

After the "Astrology Class", he quickly returned to the dormitory, confirmed that there was no sign of rummaging in the drawer, and took out the "Dead Book" to continue checking.

The necromancer's research on the soul is indeed profound.

In their hands, the soul is like a piece of paper.

They use tools and spells unscrupulously to cut and piece together the soul, creating countless ugly and twisted things.

The author of this "Dead Book" only uses the soul fragments left by the corpse as materials, which is already a relatively simple type among the necromancers.

But this cannot change its nature of blaspheming the dead.

The longest time for the soul of a person to wander in the world after death is 168 hours, and ordinary souls will dissipate within 24 hours.

Therefore, if it wants to collect soul fragments, it must be a fresh corpse.

This is a behavior that is not tolerated by the world in terms of emotion and reason.

The reason why Dak is still translating is that there are indeed many things worth learning in this "Dead Book".

Blasphemy against the dead is taboo.

But if you want to save, you need to understand.

Doctors need to dissect corpses in the process of learning.

He only gained knowledge from books.

First of all, "sewing".

Although the author of this "Dead Soul Book" is not famous, he has unique ways to sew souls.

You know, even stitched monsters will collapse due to conflicts such as flesh and blood, let alone more fragile and sensitive souls.

However, the author of this "Dead Soul Book" can piece together a human form with countless fragments, and the "corpse soul" finally sewn did not collapse due to the differences between souls.

How to learn this "sewing" method may become a secret strategy when encountering related matters in the future.

Moreover, "corpse soul" is ultimately a polymer of souls. How does it prevent this polymer of souls from dissipating?

This method is also worth learning.

But apart from that, there is nothing to see.

Even if "Yaohumon" can really use this method to create "Shikigami", he will not let it use it.

"Instead of that, I might as well go to the dungeon and catch a ghost monster..."

At this point, Dark suddenly had an idea and thought that it was not impossible!

"Shikigami" is a spirit after all, and it is also a ghost.

Even if it is impossible to turn a monster into a "Shikigami", what about the magic spirit?

The spell system used by Onmyoji is quite similar to Magic Cards.

If spells are compared to magic cards, then wouldn't "Shikigami" be magic spirits?

Dak suddenly understood and had a seemingly feasible idea on how to help "Demon Fox Beast" obtain the "Shikigami".

"There's no rush, just finish reading this book first."

He whispered to himself, looking down.

…

There really isn’t much in the Necronomicon.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when the "astrology class" ended, and it was just after one o'clock in the morning when Duck read the entire book with the translation.

In other words, it took him five or six hours to complete the translation of this book.

It took him another hour to record all the important contents in his notebook.

Afterwards, he decided to give the "Necronomicon" to Professor Kazel.

——There is no way he can send this book back to the library.

…

The next morning.

Duck slept until ten o'clock sharp, then got up and washed up.

Translating the Necronomicon consumed so much energy that he still feels a little tired when he gets up.

"It's unfortunate, but we have to find another way."

Dark put the "Necronomicon" in his school bag and said to "Demon Fox Beast".

"But thanks to its service, I already have a relatively specific idea on how you can obtain the "Shikigami". Don't be anxious."

The "demon fox beast" is natural.

Dak then said: "I have another duel this afternoon. After the duel is over, we will start experimenting and hope it goes well enough."

…

Half an hour later, Dark appeared in Professor Kazel's dormitory.

Professor Kazel was a little surprised by his sudden visit, but he still entertained him very warmly.

It wasn't until Dak took out the "Necronomicon" that his expression became solemn.

"The Necronomicon of the Corpse Stitcher?"

Professor Kazel obviously knew the Luling text. He only read it for two minutes and understood its contents.

"The book says it's a 'corpse soul.'" Duck corrected.

Professor Kazel said: "That was the original name. Rune Ragnar was an extremely talented necromancer. He was only twelve years old when he wrote this book, and he was self-taught.

After that, he grew up rapidly and wrote a new "Necronomicon" just after his sixteenth birthday.

In that book, he not only sewed his soul, but also his body, and finally tried to merge the two into one, and succeeded. It was also after that that he changed the name of "Corpse Soul" to "Corpse Sewing Demon"! "

"Run Ragnar?" Dark asked,

Professor Kazel said: "Yes, Rune Ragnar. And it was still alive a few years ago as a "lich"."

Dak was stunned for a moment: "What about now?"

Professor Kazel shook his head and said: "It's probably still alive, right? I haven't seen it for a long time."

A "lich" that has lived for a thousand years!

Dark didn't expect that Professor Kazel actually knew the author of this book. He couldn't help asking: "Where is it now?"

Professor Kazel continued to shake his head: "I don't know. Ragnar will never stay in one place for more than a year."

…

After depositing the "Necronomicon" with Professor Kazel, Dark left the teacher's dormitory.

There are indeed too many mysteries in this world. Necromancers like Rune Ragnar who have survived for thousands of years are just an inconspicuous part of the many mysteries.

The life of "Lich" is not as beautiful as imagined.

In order to live forever, they gave up everything they had as humans, and struggled in pain and madness every day.

In fact, they died the moment they transformed into "liches".

They just turned themselves into undead creatures.

…

Rune Ragnar is a relatively pure academic necromancer. He exhausts everything just to explore the mystery between life and death.

But it seems that a thousand years are not enough for him to see through life and death.

When it truly explores the secret of life and death, it may be the time to end its own life.

…

Dark heard some stories related to Rune Ragnar from Professor Kazel, but he only sighed slightly and then put them behind him.

"The Necronomicon" and Rune Ragnar were just a small episode in his career in the academy.

The knowledge he gained from the "Necronomicon" may come into play at some point in the future, or it may not. No one can predict what will happen next.

He then went to the cafeteria and returned to his dormitory after lunch.

Today is Friday, November 29th.

He will meet Stuart Faun's challenge at around two o'clock in the afternoon!

Stuart Fawn is now a fourth-year student in the House of Lords.

But he was not actually an official noble.

His father was a meritorious baron, but the title of baron was based on military merit and did not have hereditary qualifications.

If Stuart Forn wants to continue to enjoy aristocratic treatment after adulthood, he can only rely on his own efforts to become a new aristocrat.

In order to achieve his goal, he chose to join the Noble History Research Society and became Angus Jeffrey's pawn.

At the Easter Duel Festival on April 1st, Stuart Forn attacked Dak for this reason, but was ultimately defeated by Dak.

Now, eight months later, he has made a comeback for the same reason.

Although Angus Jeffrey is no longer the president of the Aristocratic History Research Society, he is still the son of a member of parliament.

As long as Stuart Fawn can graduate from St. Marian College as an honors student, Angus Jeffrey will be able to secure a baronship for him.

Stuart Fawn does not have much ambition. Being able to become a formal noble is all he pursues.
