Mystery: Start with the Reader

I remember that in the original novel, Emlyn once asked a Duke of the Blood Race about the castle, but the answer he got was that the castle was older than the duke, and any creature, as long as it got close to it, would have The danger of being corroded by corrupt forces!

Even a demon, thrown into the castle, was corrupted, from cruelty to madness.

If the "Baron of Conwa" really explored that castle in depth hundreds of years ago, then it would make sense that he failed to finish building the mausoleum and seal himself...

Thinking of this, Abner was not in a hurry to translate the content behind this page, but turned back to the initial page of the notes, compared with the "Necronomicon" in his memory, and deciphered it from the beginning.

"May 2, 745.

"Today, I——Benjamin Cornwall Grant Miranda, became the 'Gatekeeper'. This is a memorable day, because I am finally qualified to build the mausoleum and prepare for the ceremony of awakening the ancestors.

"By the way, the content of the diary from today may involve some secrets, so I decided to change to a notebook and use ciphertext to record... In this way, unless someone has also read the ancestor's "Necronomicon", it is very difficult Difficult to decipher..."

Abner looked at the words "Benjamin Cornwall Grant Miranda" and "Book of the Necromancer" he had translated, and fell into deep thought:

Jane's surname is Grant... and according to her, the false identity she applied for in Bayam is called "Jane Miranda"... This is definitely not a coincidence!

And the original "Necronomicon" was dug out by Jane in her ancestor's tomb...

So, who were Jane's ancestors? At first, I thought it might be the identity of a certain period of Mr. Azik's life... But now it seems that it should not be.

After all, Mr. Ards doesn't need the so-called "awakening" ceremony. Judging from the original book, he didn't tell his descendants to build him a mausoleum of a specific style...

And according to the knowledge I got from the "Necronomicon", the construction of a specific mausoleum itself is not for "awakening"...

The effect of that ceremony is to make use of the special connection between the real world and the underworld, so that the built mausoleum and the real mausoleum in the underworld overlap briefly, forming a "door" leading to the real mausoleum.

And Jane said before that she found the tomb of her ancestors in a certain ruin in the Sea of ​​Madness, and got many treasures and gifts, including the "Necronomicon"...

Jane, didn't she enter the real mausoleum of her ancestors in the underworld through that relic?

The "Queen of Mysteries" seems to have always known about the ruins in the Sea of ​​Madness, but she is not qualified to enter... That's why she cultivated Jane who was related to the ruins, and taught and cultivated her herself?

And the goal of the "Queen of Mysteries" is most likely to find something left behind by Emperor Lunsel... So, the emperor should have forcibly entered that mausoleum...

Perhaps this is how the "0" level sealed item "Pale Death" in the hands of the "Queen of Mysteries" came about...

Then the question goes back to the previous one, who was Jane's ancestor... or the Grant family's ancestor?

Why is the courier he left behind so similar to the courier driven by Mr. Ards?

Another descendant of the Eggers family? Or the other resurrected hands of Death God...

After thinking for a while, he still had no idea, so Abner simply stopped thinking about it and continued to complete the next translation work:

"On May 3, in the name of the lord, I am going to recruit the people to build a castle for me, so as to cover up the movement of me driving the spirit body to dig the tomb underground, so as not to be discovered by the three churches."

"On May 4th, the progress of the construction was far from satisfactory. The skill of the spirit body I controlled was really bad. Some simple patterns were crooked... Ancestors, I don't want to find an artist's spirit body, but At least bless me to find the stonemason's spirit..."

...

"On May 25th, due to the busy farming season, I had to stop the recruitment, and the progress of the mausoleum and castle construction was forced to be suspended... Fortunately, the best time to hold the 'awakening' ceremony is next April,

I still have plenty of time to prepare. "

...

The content after that is some daily trivial matters, and Abner glanced at it for a while and then passed it, and only paused his gaze on a page of notes on June 23.

"After the secret birth, Mrs. Austin is still so beautiful and charming. It's a pity that here is the conservative Ruen. She refuses to end her marriage with that old man and marry me...even though we have secretly had a child...

"Hehe, speaking of it, that little guy was raised by Austin's servants in Backlund, but the old man from the Augustus family didn't know anything, and thought she was really on vacation before.

"Austen named the little guy John Grant, but I don't like it very much."

Mrs. Austin... Could it be the Mrs. Austin whom he planned to take to explore the castle with him in the diary later?

Seeing this, Abner sighed, because this was destined to be a tragedy.

"On June 26, the busy farming season finally came to an end. After letting the people rest for a few days, I issued another call-up order. My castle and mausoleum finally started again..."

...

"On July 6th, I came to Backlund to have a tryst with Austin again, and this time I saw that little guy, but his body was very cold, he should have inherited some extraordinary characteristics, and he was born with half a body" people'.

"For this reason, I put a mystical item that has been passed down in my family for many years on him to cover up the abnormality of his body. And that item also contains some knowledge of the 'Corpse Collector' path, even if I Even if there is an accident in the future, the little guy can also use it to become an Extraordinary.

"Although he is an illegitimate child, he is my only child after all."

...

"September 1st, the season of autumn harvest and autumn planting is coming, I have to stop the recruitment again...Austin's promotion needs the 'cursed object of the ancient wraith', I have to help her find relevant information in the extraordinary circle..."

...

"September 5th, at the Extraordinary Party tonight, someone told me that there seemed to be ancient wraiths in the depths of the 'Dryer Forest'... My territory is just at the edge of the Dreyer Forest, and there have never been any wraiths before. Rumor...but the organizer of the party notarized his words to be true...Maybe I should go and find out myself?"

What happened afterwards, Abner already knew from the translated diary before, that the baron called Mrs. Austin and entered the ancient castle that was sealed with underground pollution!

As for the last few pages of the diary, it seems that the handwriting is not consistent with the previous ones, as if a different person is writing... so Abner dare not translate again.

That's probably what Baron "Conva" wrote while he was polluted, who knows if he'd write something damning?

Well, it should be no problem to translate it in Origin Castle during the Tarot Club next Monday.

But... Baron "Kangwa" should still have some sanity, otherwise he wouldn't have sealed himself up.

And what Emma read in the library that his territory was destroyed by mudslides, most likely he arranged it himself, in order to completely seal himself in it...

Unfortunately, he was still found by a "1" level sealed item... Hey, I don't know if "1-025" has also been contaminated? If so, it would be even more terrifying.

...

Backlund, in a factory in the dock area.

A dozen people were discussing something around a long table in a hidden basement.

And not far from them, a young man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with wheat-colored hair, gray-blue eyes, and high cheekbones listened to their conversation quietly.

What's weird is that no one noticed his existence.

This young man is the deacon of the Church of Storms, "Secret Master" Stuart.

He originally wanted to listen to the conversation of the members of the "Secret Order" in front of him, but at this moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened, but no one appeared at the door.

Stuart frowned first, and then guessed in his heart: "'Psychological invisibility'?"
