Chapter 480 Failed Sacrifice (Please subscribe~)

At the corner of the table, a pure white candle was burning.

With a thumb-sized flame, the dim yellow light spread as far as possible, but in the end it barely illuminated nearly half of the room.

Someone was leaning over the desk, holding a quill pen, writing something constantly.

With his left hand, he was holding down an ancient scroll that was spread out. On the paper, there were paragraphs of hieroglyphics neatly arranged. On the outside of his right hand were many open books, most of which also had hieroglyphs. Most of them are paragraphs composed of common words in the fantasy realm, like the introduction of the former.

The writer often shakes his head back and forth, looks at the scroll for a while, and writes hieroglyphs with a pen in his hand for a while, and then looks for similar descriptions according to the books on the other side. Perhaps because it is too difficult, his brows are always frowning.

"It's really troublesome. If I knew that there are so many contents, I shouldn't ask for help. It won't be very good to read after the translation is finished. Hiss~ Damn, the wound is still not healed. It's all because of that bastard. Wait until I enter the tea room Wouldn't it be better to come out again?"

Holding the wound on the back of his shoulder, the man cursed in a low voice.

In the corridor next door, Zhu Jue was leaning against the wall, eavesdropping on the sound in the room.

Hearing this passage, Zhu Jue immediately confirmed that his perception was correct, and the person in the room was the one who fled into the large library after being shot into the house by himself in the afternoon.

"Your luck is really bad!"

Walk slowly to the door. Since there are cultists in the room, it proves that there is indeed a problem here.

The scavenger sprang out from his palm, wrapped around the doorknob, and entered along the keyhole.

pat~pat~
Footsteps sounded on the other side of the stairs.

Zhu Jue paused, quickly withdrew his hand, turned around and pushed open the window behind him, and climbed out with one hand on the window frame, and the scavenger emerged, firmly fixing his body on the wall outside the window.

The voice gradually approached here.

After waiting for about half a minute, Zhu Jue heard the knock on the door and the creak when it was opened.

"How's the progress?"

The position where the translator used to sit was now replaced by someone else, rubbing the ancient scroll with his fingers.

"Sorry, it's quite difficult to translate those texts, and I've only managed to translate a small part of them these days. Those texts are something we've never seen before, and those classics from the library can only be used as For reference, the information cannot be clearly given. I have asked the ancient literature scholars in the fantasy realm, but they have not given a clear response. If we continue to maintain manual translation, according to the current progress, it will take at least three months to translate all the content. months."

The wound was affected when he bent down, the man with a pale face stood in front of the table, talking cautiously.

"This situation won't last long. After the plan is completed, we will return to the real world. At that time, it will naturally be brought back for translation through other methods. What about the situation on the side of the dream eater?"

He took out a square box from his bosom, opened it and stored a silver-white ring inside, flicked the scroll, and put everything on the table into it.

As a priest, he can't have property on his body, he can only carry the space ring in his arms.

"If there is no accident, it should be completely wiped out. Leonard and the others seem to have found a very powerful helper. They killed nearly half of the dream eaters in a short period of time. The injuries on my body were also caused by him."

Recalling the scene at that time, even though several hours have passed, it still makes people tremble.

"Didn't I already ask someone to remind you in advance, why are you still injured?"

The gaze stays on the other person's shoulder, there is no concern, it's just blaming him,

"When the plan is implemented tomorrow, everyone has their own place. I don't want you to have problems at that time."

"Please rest assured that there will be absolutely no problems."

After paying so much, it is almost time to reap the rewards. How could he give up at this time because of some injuries? After a pause, he said with some hesitation,
"This time we negotiated cooperation with the dream eaters, but we put them aside at this time. Although we used the people of the dream brigade as a cover, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not cause trouble afterwards. After all, they have mastered the cracks in space. when."

"You leave first, go to meet other people in the city, and prepare for the next step. You must act in advance."

He is not in the mood to talk about this kind of thing with a subordinate now, and he doesn't even intend to answer the conversation, just changing the subject casually.

"Understood, I will inform them now."

He didn't have any intention of continuing the topic he mentioned just now, he just retreated obediently and left.

He didn't dare to look up until he retreated to the corridor and closed the door.

The resentment in the eyes finally no longer needs to be concealed.

That disgusting old guy, one day, his place will be replaced by me!

With dark thoughts, he clenched his fists and left along the right side of the corridor, without noticing the brown gravel following him.

When the footsteps were far away, the people in the room first breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the interspatial ring that had not yet been retracted, and placed some of the translated manuscripts and the part translated by the subordinates who had been busy all afternoon on the table. Detailed review.

Not long after, his body trembled as if he had been electrified, and immediately slumped on the bench. Suddenly, as if he saw something terrible, he raised his hand to cover his cheek.

Due to the extreme force, his face was even twisted under the ravages of his fingers.

"It's not the time yet, maybe I shouldn't try. No, when the plan is over, I will return to the real world, where there will be no more chances. Great father, I hope you can forgive my selfishness, I think To get closer to you, no longer in this dirty and weak human body."

After finishing the words, he suddenly got up and walked around the long table. He didn't want to leave here, but walked to the bookshelf on the side of the house, squatted down and opened several long drawers at the bottom of the bookshelf, and took out a cloth from it and opened it.

Among them are a vessel containing some kind of liquid, a large paintbrush, and several special crystal powders.

First take out a portion of crystal powder and put it into a container, mix it with the brown liquid in it, stir it a few times, the color of the liquid changes to dark black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dip some of it with a paintbrush, turn around and lift off the blanket that was originally spread on the floor.

There are some shallow marks left on the marble floor under the candlelight, and it is obvious that several special events have been carried out before.

Familiar with the road, follow the traces that have not yet dissipated and re-draw a special magic circle.

Putting both hands in the center of the magic circle, he began to chant in a low voice in an ancient language, retracted his hands halfway, and instead grabbed a handful of crystal powder and threw them up.

The first handful of crystal dust fluttered down under the light of the candle, and melted away after entering the magic circle.

A wind suddenly rose from the center of the magic circle, blowing away the singer's robe, and the corners swayed violently, making a hunting sound.

The runes around the magic circle lit up one by one, and the chanting continued.

The second handful of crystal dust was raised, this time they no longer fell, but suspended in mid-air, similar to the existence of smog.

The singer stood up, breathing suddenly and heavily, with his head half held up, he inhaled all the crystal dust into his nasal cavity.

In the next second, his body began to tremble unconsciously, his hands dropped to his sides, and suddenly twisted into a strange posture, even his body began to sway.

The skin festered gradually in the next moment, at first it was dark dark green pustules, and after they cracked, the disgusting liquid began to cover the whole body, and then the hands were no longer hands, and the feet under the robe also mutated, The head on top of this indescribable body can no longer be directly looked at by humans.

Its eyes were scarlet, and a large number of dark green tentacles grew out of its mouth. It muttered a special language in its mouth. At a certain moment, it suddenly bent down, grabbed the last handful of dust and sprinkled it on the open space in front of it.

Immediately afterwards, the air began to fluctuate violently, and the crystal dust suddenly began to change from a disordered state under the traction of some unknown force, and finally moved closer to a special image.

Their bodies are like wrinkled barrels. From the middle of the barrel, thin tentacles protrude horizontally like spokes on a wheel. There are protruding knobs on the top and bottom of the barrel. Stretch five long flat arms that taper at the ends like starfish
"Great ancient, please forgive me for contacting you. This is a sacrifice for you. I want to get knowledge from you on how to break away from the shackles of human beings!"

It was clearly in the form of a monster, but he said strange words to transcend human beings, and the sacrifices he took out were gemstones of various colors, piled up in the center of the magic circle.

The ancient man was hovering in the air, the tentacles on his head were swinging from side to side, and the glowing orange crystal ball on the top was flickering, as if he was checking whether the things in the magic circle were to his liking.

After a long time, there was another wave of fluctuation in the air.

"No need. Wait, I have other things, please don't leave!"

The monster was a little panicked, he thought he had prepared enough, he thought that this ancient race was always interested in crystals that could strengthen the soul, but now the clear rejection message in his mind made him realize that he wanted to Wrong, in a panic, I wanted to take out other things in the space ring to try to restore it.

But there is a limit to the patience of the Old Ones.

After only staying for about ten seconds, the figure in midair began to become unreal until it returned to calm.

The monster that was still taking things out of the space ring stood frozen in place.

Everything he had planned with great difficulty failed in such a vain way.

Not even any compensation.
"Why only stay for a few seconds, why!"

The already chaotic spirit went to extremes in annoyance, and the monster stomped on the magic circle on the ground somewhat frantically.

You Zi was puzzled, and began to smash other things in the room.

Bang!
The door suddenly opened at this moment.

There is a person covered with silver lines standing in the corridor, with a long gravel knife in his hand!
