The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 655 Magic Book

Hao Ren did not hide his shocking discovery in the Ark database. Everyone, including Vivian, was extremely shocked by the truth.

The creator of 90% of the ecosystem in the Dream Plane, the incredibly powerful goddess of creation, has actually been killed—and by mortal hands!

Of course, due to the limited information in the Ark database, the details of the incident 10,000 years ago are still unknown, and we are not sure whether the people of the starry sky are true or reliable. However, Hao Ren and the others are still concerned about the goddess of creation and the destruction of the world. Still, amazing progress has been made in the field of disaster investigation, but the results may not be pleasant.

"I don't know how to tell Big Beard and the others about this," Hao Ren told his family about the matter and sighed, "I thought that no matter how enlightened he was, he would have to die as a martyr after hearing this news... …”

"Then don't talk about it yet," Vivian raised her eyelids, "At least wait until we find the remains of the Goddess of Creation... I think such a powerful god should leave some traces even if he dies."

Yzaks nodded in agreement: "Yes. Although the goddess of creation has fallen, her power is obviously still working. The divine magic of the Huiyao Sect and the telepathy generated by the believers are real. Anyway, in our world , after the death of a sufficiently powerful individual, some strange phenomena and traces will often remain, which can even last for thousands of years. The goddess of creation shouldn't be worse than those bumpkins."

Elizabeth was sitting on Isaacs's shoulder tinkering with a small radio. At this time, she waved a screwdriver and shouted happily: "So at that time, I never believed that my father was dead - if my father is such a powerful devil, he really wants to die. It is normal to curse an entire race with resentment. Those coalition forces of all races who came to the door were prepared to be cursed and exterminated. As a result, nothing happened for more than half a year, so I felt that my dad must be alive..."

Hao Ren looked at Yzaks with a strange expression: "...your daughter's way of thinking is really worthy of her race."

Yzaks scratched his bald head in embarrassment: "Lack of discipline, neglect of discipline..."

After the Nangong couple returned to Earth, they first went to Nasatorn to visit relatives, and then stayed at Hao Ren's house. In this way, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the hot summer soon showed its full effect. Power. The hot weather makes people sleepy, and the idleness of the past few days makes Hao Ren, a half-time adventurer who has adapted to the travel life, feel bored. However, considering the unexpected nature of the prosecutor's mission, he can only Waiting at home honestly, spending time with his zoo-like family playing and making noise all day long.

Lily still maintained her habit. After eating and drinking in the morning, she ran around the city to check on the dogs. According to her, this was the time when infectious diseases were most common, so stray dogs needed to be treated well. Only disease prevention work can ensure the sufficient combat effectiveness of the team - but no one can really tell that her group of paparazzi have any combat effectiveness, except that the queue has become more and more neat when they were recently gathered by Lily.

After running outside for a long time in the bright sun with the medicine box in hand, Lily was still quite energetic when she came back at noon. She threw the medicine box into the living room and lay on the window sill to watch the street scene. At this time, there happened to be a man squatting on the street outside. The old yellow dog was spitting out his tongue in his mouth, gasping and panting to dissipate heat. Lily tilted her head and looked at it for a long time, and then stuck out her tongue too: "Huh, huh, huh..."

Vivian was reading a book next to her. When she heard the movement, she looked up and said with disdain, "Look at your image."

Lily didn't expect her enemy to be sitting next to her, so she quickly retracted her tongue and said with a stern face: "I just entertained myself. What about May? I want her to help get some ice water for me to cool down."

Vivian raised a finger and shook it: "Want ice cubes? To cool down? Just stand there and don't move, I'll give you a stimulus."

Lily immediately jumped back more than two meters: "Am I provoking you?"

"Vivian, please turn on the air conditioner. It's really hot today." Hao Ren was playing with a data terminal not far away (actually playing DOTA). When he heard the noise of bats and big dogs, he looked up and said casually, "The other five Yue went out with her parents. Her parents wanted to get familiar with the familiar environment and also look for ways to support their family in modern times. After watching TV for half a month, they are now panicking to integrate into modern society. "

Vivian shrugged and snapped her fingers, and strands of pale white air-conditioning immediately appeared around her. The cool breeze soon spread throughout the living room and gradually spread to the entire building. The electricity bill she saved this summer was enough to cover her rent.

Lily opened her mouth and took a few deep breaths in the cold wind, then let out a long and comfortable sigh: "Bat, you are useful at this time... By the way, if you look at Nangong's parents, and then look at you, they all know that they have to work to support the family. Living hand to mouth..."

Before she could finish her words, a cloud of cold air hit her face, and the careless husky girl was instantly frozen like a dog.

Vivian lowered her head and continued reading: "There's so much nonsense, and the landlord doesn't have any objections yet."

Hao Ren quickly stepped forward to help Lily clean up the ice cubes on her body, while looking at Vivian curiously: "By the way, you were reading there early in the morning, what were you reading?"

"Sent from the Athens Asylum two days ago, Hessiana collected ancient books from somewhere." Vivian raised the classic and gorgeous black-covered book in her hand. "The author is unknown, but it may be from At the end of the Middle Ages, a Latin book should be a sensational thing that promotes heresy to humans...but I suspect that this thing has something to do with me."

Hao Ren's interest was immediately aroused and he went over to take a look. He saw that the cover of the book was bound in black tanned leather. There was only a single title on it: "On Evil Spirits and Myths". Other than that, there was no information about the author.

Vivian opened the book, and Hao Ren saw that this old book was well preserved. Clear handwriting and illustrations with a strong European Dark Age style could still be seen on the yellowed pages. The edges of the pages You can see the exquisite patterns. The illustration on one of the pages depicts a circle of little people dancing around a campfire, while in the clouds above the picture there is a devil peering towards the earth - this reminds people of the darkest days of European civilization. During the period, those heretical beliefs, weird worships, and evil legends were spawned by the continuous growth in dark corners. Obviously, no matter what era it is placed in, this book should not be a "serious work".

"Are you sure this thing was passed down from the Middle Ages to today?" Hao Ren curiously reached out and twirled the pages of the book that were in good condition, but he felt an eerie softness when he touched it, which was not ordinary paper at all. Touch, "I'll go, this thing..."

"Don't worry, it's not human skin," Vivian knocked on the page. "It's black goat skin, and it's been treated with witchcraft, so it's different from ordinary parchment. I haven't seen this technique for a long time. ...to make this kind of book page, you need to raise the black goat in a cave without sunlight, slaughter it on a moonless night for a period of time, and process it into parchment by the wizard himself. Ha, what a waste of energy."

Hao Ren was dumbfounded when he heard this. The knowledge about ancient witchcraft sounded so confusing that he didn't understand it: "So troublesome? Why?"

"First of all, it can be preserved for more than a thousand years," Vivian held up the black book. "Secondly, using magic to process the pages itself is a mark - proving that this book is a real 'magic book', not Those garbled manuscripts made by charlatans without any magic power or secret knowledge. Many years ago, this kind of magic book was very popular. Despite the high-pressure control of the church, many people, even nobles, were keen to collect it secretly. Such books are used to show their 'knowledge', but they usually can only find fakes. Only genuine wizards, aliens, demon hunters and monks can identify and obtain truly valid witchcraft books. Finally... in that era , books are expensive things, and nobles will improve the 'taste' of books by writing on expensive paper, making gold buckles on books, mixing spices in ink, etc., and those pretentious wizards Of course, they couldn’t help but join in the fun, so they rushed to use more complex rituals to make magic books to show their witchcraft knowledge and professionalism.”

Finally, Vivian added: "Of course, I think people who do this are idiots - this can only leave clues for the witcher. Once the magic books fall into the hands of the hunter, the authors of these books will not live long. ”

Hao Ren was stunned: "Are you using your life to show off?"
