The red moon returns

Chapter 465 Necronomicon
Book of the Dead.

Written by Abdullah, a madman from the ancient country of Alan in Middle-earth, it used human skin as paper, flesh, blood and soul as ink, and was a 43-page strange book.

The entire book records his crazy ravings. According to legend, the truth of the world is hidden in those ravings.

The human will cannot bear even a glimmer of the truth. Anyone who gets a glimpse of the truth will swallow the bitter fruit of his own making and fall into eternal madness.

This is what Lynch learned from President Gulman after he came back yesterday. The original copy of this book is said to have been lost in the middle of the Third Age, and no one has ever seen it since then. Only occasionally one or two fragments of the manuscript appear in the wild, and every time they appear, they attract countless people to scramble for it, causing an uproar.

When the box was opened, the old mountain man had already voluntarily left the warehouse, and the three humans subconsciously held their breath.

The black ancient book, which had been absent for a day and a half, finally reappeared in front of the three people.

After not seeing it for dozens of hours, the ancient book has aged a lot, and the sense of time has become stronger. The rough edges of the pages have also become more obvious. The only thing that has not changed is the creepy breath emanating from the ancient book, that twisted, weird, crazy, and terrifying breath, as if it came from the weird eternity, flashing with the deadly light of truth.

Mysterious, dangerous, yet full of temptation, its simple existence is enough to attract the full attention of anyone who sees it.

When he didn't know, he didn't feel any psychological pressure at all. But since he heard that this thing was made of pure human skin, Lin Qi felt creepy when he looked at it. He felt uncomfortable when he wanted to reach out and touch it. He gritted his teeth several times, and finally...

Officer Natalie picked it up first, causing Lynch's paw to stop in mid-air.

"Many props used by cultists are made from human bodies. I've even seen drums made from human skin and bones."

The policewoman ignored Lynch who was glaring at her and cautiously opened the cover tentatively.

Although they had opened it in their memories the day before yesterday and nothing happened, there was no guarantee that nothing had changed in the past few thousand years. The three of them were ready to react at any time, holding their breath and waiting for the result.

Fortunately, nothing happened. The Book of the Dead was still the same as when they met thousands of years ago, completely incomprehensible.

After flipping through it carefully, I can confirm that this is it, the evil thing I saw in the memories of strange things.

The mission assigned by the Lord of Billions of Glory was finally completed.

The Book of the Dead is definitely a rare treasure. Seeing Dr. Swain casting spells with it, it seems to be able to amplify the effects of the secret spells or reduce energy consumption. In other words, it is a very useful prop even if it is not used for reading.

But this thing is too dangerous. If one day I suddenly understand it, it will be a suicide weapon. Even if I never understand it, with its attraction to the mysterious and filthy, basically whoever takes it will die, and it will be impossible to put it together.

The three of them discussed for a long time, and Lynch decided to hand this thing over to the Lord of Billions of Glory to complete the transaction. In this way, the Yis people's electric shock gun can be obtained steadily, and the favorability of the Knowledge Cult to which the Knowledge Library belongs will rise sharply. Moreover, he can exchange it for the advent-level wonder, the Miracle Light, with peace of mind. The key is that he doesn't have to return it once he gets it.

Several for one, especially when there is a descending-level rare item inside, it is definitely worth it.

But thinking back, Lynch still thinks this mission is magical.

The present Milt siblings informed the present incarnation of Yog-Sothoth, Tavier At-Umr, and the present Tavier synchronized it with the present Yog-Sothoth, who then synchronized it with another incarnation in the past, Afergomon. The past Afergomon guided his apostles to Novlan and planted seeds in the apostles' will, which had been dormant in the memories of the strange objects until the present Lynch entered the memories, activated the seeds planted in the past, accepted the mission in the past, got clues from the memories of the past, and finally got the mission items in the present and handed them over to the present Yog-Sothoth, and finally went to the future Tavier to collect the reward.

It was complicated and bizarre, seemingly nonsense, but with the combined power of billions of radiant masters and the strange objects, it actually came true. The three of them held the Book of the Dead that they had finally obtained, and for a moment they felt unreal.

"There is a saying in the mythological era that some people may not have committed any sin, but possessing a treasure is the greatest sin. Given the preciousness of this thing, if it is leaked out, I don't know how many cultists will come to the Rhine for a meeting. No, we don't even have to wait for them to come. Among those who are meeting today, there may be a bunch of people who will tear us to pieces." Lynch finally calmed down and stuffed the Book of the Dead back into the stone box.
"Let's go back now and deliver the things directly to the Knowledge Library. If someone really wants to steal them, let them fight it out. If anything goes wrong, it's their own business and has nothing to do with us. Hiss, I suddenly feel uneasy. The gaze we sensed just now couldn't be directed at this matter. Could the damn cultists have learned the news in some way and come to ambush us in advance?"

"That's not so exaggerated. You're too nervous." Miss Diana covered her mouth with her folded fan and snickered, "This is an object that contains the light of truth. Its nature is almost the same as that of an evil god. It is impossible to predict or track it. Otherwise, you will die on the spot just like tracking an evil god. Otherwise, why do you think it has been kept here for thousands of years without being discovered?"

Lin Qi thought of the red-haired lady who was almost killed by him, and he probably understood what this concept was, but...

"No, according to a certain law, when bread falls, it always lands on the ground with the buttered side up. As unlucky as something can be, it will definitely be as unlucky as it can be. It's better to be careful with such a dangerous matter."

The two ladies were stunned, and they carefully savored this law. The more they thought about it, the more they felt it made sense. Miss Diana thought for a moment before saying:
"Don't worry. Ask Elder Nicolae to escort us back to the city. With a seventh-level expert escorting us, no matter what cultists there are, they won't dare to attack easily. Even if they really find high-level helpers, Elder Nicolae won't be afraid of them."

Yes, we have a high-level boss next to us.

Lynch was not worried that Elder Nikolai had any ill intentions, otherwise he would not have to take out the things. Relatively speaking, he was the most reliable. With him guarding, there was nothing to be afraid of.

bah bah bah.

After slapping himself lightly, the three of them soon found the old zombie again. This guy was idle all day long and had nothing to do anyway, so he agreed as soon as he heard it, and was in high spirits, as if he missed the food at the Earl's house very much.

Now relieved, the three of them stuffed the stone box into Miss Diana's bracelet, and at Lynch's strong request, put the bracelet on his hand. Although the reason was that they wanted to feel the pleasure of holding treasure, everyone understood what was going on, especially Miss Diana, who gave him a grateful look and stuffed the bracelet into his hand with a blushing face.

What kind of reaction is this? Girl, you're not doing this for dowry, is there any need to be like this? And that other guy, why are you angry again?

Although they could never understand the mystery, the three of them returned with a full load under Nicolae's escort. In the evening, they walked out of the forest along the mountain road and returned to the bustling engineering camp.

As soon as I got closer, I saw a large group of people in the distance, walking noisily through the engineering camp and towards the path leading into the mountain.

Huh? Why are so many people going into the mountains?
"Oh, I know." The old ghoul had transformed into a human form, patting his head and saying, "Someone came to inform us before that a member of the Rand royal family would come to express their condolences and gratitude for our efforts for Rand. He shouldn't be an important person, so the children can just perfunctorily pay him a visit."

"Member of the royal family?" The three looked at each other. "Princess Sofia?"

"It seems so."

Tsk, this prince's show is not over yet, he has even shown it at the zombie's house, he is really trying hard, it seems he has big plans.

Wait, that's not right.

In a flash, Lin Qi suddenly thought of the dangerous sights when he entered the mountain, and then thought of Sophia's visit...

Oops!

The distance is still far and it's too late.

Without bothering to explain, Lynch grabbed Nikolai's wrist:
"Let's go there."
