Chapter 236 The Secret Hidden in the Book

Seeing this smug guy, Henry, who had been waiting for a long time, cast a fourth-level magic "Any Door" and appeared beside Nanding in an instant. He raised his staff and stabbed the opponent's chest fiercely, then snatched the ancient book back. Nan Ding clutched his chest and groaned in pain, the hit just hit his heart.

"Oh! Bastard! How dare you sneak up on me! Most importantly, how dare you steal my book!" Nanding gritted his teeth and took out a rune stone from his pocket and crushed it. A portal opened beside him, and several golems and thieves instantly appeared on the spot. The guy pointed at Henry and shouted: "Come on! Cut him into pieces for me! Remember, don't hurt that ancient book!"

Seeing the enemies swarming up, Henry sneered and snapped his fingers. The scroll golem directly released "Serial Lightning", "Rainbow Jet" and "Abidaki Death Technique" one by one, and the thieves including Nan Ding were all killed before they rushed to the front. The golem faithfully carried out the master's order and continued to attack, but under the continuous blows from magic weapons and "Mayoufu's Micro Meteor", it was quickly destroyed.

The battle is over as soon as it begins. Apodell kicked the corpse on the ground fiercely and cursed: "This scumbag! I didn't expect this book to attract so many bastards!"

Henry turned the pages of the book and saw that some places above had been annotated. A small part at the beginning reads "Xhosa", "Firewine Armor" and "Ulcaster" in the common language, and the rest is protected by some special magic, which cannot be deciphered at all. He smiled and waved the book in his hand at the Son of God and asked loudly, "Apodel! Do you want to know the secrets here?"

"Nonsense! Of course I want to! Tell me, do you know something?" Apodell hurriedly stopped searching for the corpse, and ran over in strides.

Henry pointed out a few place names in the book and explained with a smile: "These specially marked places in the book must be related to the secrets behind them. We just need to look for them one by one in order. Finally, the truth will slowly surface."

"But we still have to go to Candlekeep to investigate the secrets of the Iron Throne. Look at the place names here. Firewine Bridge and Ulcaster are both to the east. It will take at least a week to go back and forth, and we don't have enough time now." Apodel sighed. As much as he wanted to know the truth, his hatred for the Iron Throne prevailed.

"Don't forget that I'm a mage. You go slowly to Candlekeep first, and I'll use the "teleportation" technique to investigate these places. Remember to take this emblem with you so that I can sense your location." Henry said while taking out his noble emblem from his pocket. He didn't want to give up a large amount of experience points.

After receiving the badge, Apodelle carefully put it in his coat pocket and nodded. "Then you have to be careful. I heard that there are not only a large number of kobolds in the Ulkaster ruins and the Firewine Bridge, but also some undead."

"Don't worry. Those barking little guys can't hurt me." Henry handed over the command of the scroll golem to Danahei, and he chanted a spell quickly, and a white portal gradually emerged. He smiled and waved to his teammates, and gradually disappeared in place.

Ulcaster lies east of Lathander's temple, and the academy here was destroyed at the height of its power by jealous Kalithan mages. Now all that remains is the vast ruins, and the haunting ghost of the founder of the academy, Ulcaster. Henry saw a white transparent figure wandering through the portal together. Through simple communication, the ghost hoped that he could go underground to retrieve a book.

After Henry took this task, he summoned a lot of monsters and elemental creatures to sweep across the entire dungeon without hesitation. None of the werewolves, wolves, and giant spiders inside escaped. All were killed. Counting the loot, he found the book the ghost needed.

Return the book to the ghost. Henry gained a thousand experience points. Then he asked about another ancient book, and the ghost said several key words "statue", "armor" and "exchange". According to Henry's memory before crossing, he was directly teleported to Xigu Town in the southeast.

This is a small village built entirely by halflings. Although they are very hospitable, it is best for guests to keep an eye on their wallets and valuables. Because these little things are very curious, it is very possible to put your gold coins and gems in their own pockets inadvertently.

In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Henry directly blessed the "invisibility technique" and walked through the secret door to the underground labyrinth. Here he helped a group of ghosts fulfill their wishes and got an ancient armor. In the end, he also killed the ogre mage who secretly controlled the place and a bust-up mole.

After receiving a quest item, Henry rushed to the ancient ruins in the north of the Wolf Man Fortress without stopping. As soon as he stepped through the portal, he saw a caravan that had been attacked. The ground was littered with the dead bodies of humans, cows and horses, and a woman with long blond hair was talking to a man with disheveled hair and glowing red eyes.

Seeing a stranger appear, the man immediately stood up with two-handed swords. The woman quickly ran to Henry and begged, "Please! Leave now! Breggy is not very conscious now. He just attacked a caravan and is being condemned by his conscience."

Seeing the man's dazed eyes, Henry immediately recalled the other person on Nasika's wanted list, the mad former captain Breggy. He gently pushed the woman away and quickly cast a fourth-level magic "Breaking Magic". Bridget trembled all over, finally dropped the giant sword in his hand and regained his sanity. He looked at the corpses all over the floor and his blood-stained hands and wept bitterly. Although his brain had been controlled by this cursed weapon, he could remember everything he did.

Henry comforted Breggy a few words, and then conveyed the words of Pastor Nalin of the Nasike Shrine. Under the persuasion of his sister Lyrissa, this decadent man finally gave up the idea of ​​suicide and decided to go to the temple of the guardian god Haim to atone for his sins. Looking at the backs of the two people going away, Henry cast a "discrimination technique" on the two-handed sword on the ground.

Two-Handed Greatsword: "Curse of Rage"

It's a cursed sword, but it's brilliant. Can keep people fighting enthusiasm at any time. After entering the battle. Those who wield the sword immediately go berserk. Attack everyone who comes in contact with him until he calms down or is beaten unconscious. The sword is powerful, but it is up to the wielder to decide if the risk is worth it. After the battle rage is over, it can only be removed by removing the curse or something.

make the sword wielder berserk

The sword can only be removed by removing the curse

He carefully wrapped the hilt of the sword with a piece of cloth and put it directly into the dimension bag. Although this weapon is very sharp, it can also make people go berserk. But for a mage who likes to control the overall situation, the fewer such unstable factors, the better. Try to remove the curse above when you have time, if you can't remove it, you can only deal with it.

After walking northwest along the forest path for half an hour, Henry saw a scholar leading a large group of workers digging the ruins. He went up and negotiated with the person in charge here, Charleston Nieber. The latter heard that there was a learned mage in front of him, so he readily agreed to the request to watch.

In order to speed up the excavation progress, Henry used several "fossil mud" magic scrolls. The moment the tomb was dug through, Henry felt something sinister awakened. He tried to wake up the leading scholar, but Charleston had already entered a state of frantic research and completely ignored the warning.

Following the passage inside the ruins, they came all the way to the innermost room. Just when Charleston had just concluded that it was a 5,000-year-old tomb, the surrounding excavations suddenly began to go into a trance. The men said they heard some voices, and then they started getting more and more manic, before they all went crazy and attacked.

The attacks of these ordinary people pose no threat to Henry at all. After knocking everyone unconscious with his cane, he retrieved the idol needed for the mission from a sarcophagus. This is a shrine from the time of Netheril. Xorsa, Stormstar. His portfolios are Storms, Earthquakes, Strife, and Betrayal. However, this god changed his god name later, that is to say, he is now Talos, the Lord of Storms with a fierce reputation.

Charleston was terrified by the sudden turn of events. The gray-haired, powerless scholar tried to explain the cause of the matter tremblingly, but Henry didn't have time to listen to such nonsense. The moment he heard that the experience points had been obtained, he packed up the idol and left the tomb.

Three undead warriors in armor with red eyes blocked the door. Henry tried to negotiate, but the other party obviously didn't intend to let him leave with the statue. Under the bombardment of powerful magic, the undead warriors quickly turned into a pile of scrap iron. Now that all the items are gathered, you can return to Ulkaster to deliver the quest.

As soon as he returned to the gate of Wurkas, Henry was attacked suddenly. This undead knight who claims to believe in Melkor is very difficult to deal with, and seems to be able to absorb energy from the underworld. It was dark as he struck. In the end, Henry used the seventh-level magic "Limited Wish" to cut off the source of power behind the undead knight before barely killing him.

After the battle, he looked very tired, and he couldn't wait to give the item to the ghost to get a magic sword. After simple identification, specific information was obtained.

Greatsword: "Vampire's Revenge"

Rumors of this weapon's provenance have reached unbelievable proportions, but like anything from a dream, its appearance does not match its qualities. As the name suggests, this sword does suck blood, but not in the way people think, this sword is actually a trap made by vampire sword bearers.

Shrewd vampires made countless similar swords, which caused the death of many foolish adventurers. Every time the sword is swung, it is actually hurting the user himself, and it is sending the user's life energy to the opponent. Not only that, there is an irremovable curse under this weapon, the user's mind is disturbed, and he will not want to remove the sword at all. It's a magical treasure that no one wants to bother finding at all, and people would rather relax with a drink than be chased across the fields by a horde of annoying ghosts.
