Returning from the abyss

Chapter 478

"Good evening, Lilian, did you go to the library today to join in the fun—"

Jaze's words of greeting stopped immediately after seeing Parcival who entered the door with Lu Ning.Instead, Percival laughed: "Long time no see, Jaze, I miss the cocktails here."

"Mr. Parcival, you probably didn't come here just to taste the wine." Jaze quickly came back to his senses, but all the other customers in the store shrank back into the corner.After living in Ewalang for a long time, no one doesn’t know about Parcival, it’s okay, the problem is that if Parcival knows about them, it’s hard to be a good thing.

"Indeed, I still have some questions to ask." Percival lowered his voice slightly.

Jaze immediately knew what kind of question he was talking about, after all, the amount of knowledge of this magus sage was well known.She looked around at the guests hiding away, shrugged helplessly, and opened the door leading to the back: "Please come in, I'm afraid the guests won't be able to enjoy the night if you're here."

Percival followed kindly, and Lu Ning followed beside him without saying a word. When he saw Jaze winking over, he could only reply with an expression of "I can't help it".

The three of them sat down at a table in the back room, and Jaze spoke first: "Dark magic?"

"Yes, there is probably no more professional black magic master than you in this city."

"But I can't think of any reason for you to come to me to ask questions instead of killing the black magic user when you meet them."

"There is an exception sitting in front of me." Percival smiled.

"Damn." Jaze held his forehead, turned to look at Lu Ning, "Lilian, why did you come with me?"

"It's purely a coincidence." Lu Ning told the truth, "We wanted to seek help in black magic when we were investigating a case. The only people present who knew you were me and the principal."

"So you came here in person?" Jaze asked Parcival again.

"Jaze, this is a murder in the Violet Library. Although I can't guarantee that the security there is [-]% safe, but the special significance of Violet in the magic world makes us have to investigate this incident until the truth is revealed, otherwise people's hearts will be destroyed. There is no safe place anymore."

"There is no safe place in this world." Jaze sneered, "Well, although I don't agree with your opinion, I will help... What's the problem?"

Parcival briefly explained what happened, and finally asked whether there is a way to preserve knowledge and experience without destroying personality in the magic guide book.

Jaze maintained a dead fish-eyed expression throughout the process.

"Just for this?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Parcival, I have always respected your knowledge, so I will not make any comments..."

"Thank you for your respect."

"There is no such way. The magic book is an extremely special magic product. Eliminating pollution means destroying the magic book itself. This is completely unavoidable. But I understand what you are thinking, Mr. Percival , and you, Lilian, you're thinking the wrong thing."

Parcival raised his eyebrows: "Please tell me."

"Your thinking so far is to use the magic book to contaminate a person, replace a person as a whole through its powerful erosion, and achieve resurrection or similar effects. This method is the cutting-edge technology of black magic, not to mention the obtained Difficulty, I don't think the twelve emperors except you, Parcival, can't find all the relevant information."

"But you said, the other way around."

"Yeah, conversely, haven't you thought about it? If the goal is not to resurrect the soul in the magic book, but to extract part of the characteristics in the magic book, add a new soul, and then use this brand new hybrid How about making a magic book?"

This is indeed the first thought that a black magician would think of.

"Parcival, the culprits entrenched in Ewalang are indeed being hunted down—maybe that's why!" Lu Ning knew everything about everything, and after being awakened by Jaze's words, Lu Ning immediately knew what was incongruous in her previous thinking where is it.Indeed, if the goal of the man behind the scenes was not to rejuvenate old grimoires, but to make new grimoires, it would all make sense.

"But the production of the magic book must be above the level of the Grand Magister." Parcival said.

"Oh, I don't have a way to decontaminate the grimoires, but I have a lot of ways to force ordinary magicians into grimoires through some degrading means." Jaze snapped his finger, "And only need Malicious and malevolent enough, anyone can do it."

Lu Ning thought of Sicilian who was made into a chair.

"Has the black magic reached this point?"

"Don't worry too much, Percival, I call that kind of magic book because the two are the same in terms of production process and magic theory. But even if a weak soul becomes a magic book, it doesn't have the ability to make it." The ability to disastrously pollute, in turn, has an added convenience."

"What convenience?"

"For a black magician, being able to make a human into a book can also restore the book to a human. This kind of concealment and convenience is far better than the magic book that takes one's life to write, Percival, according to what you know Said, I don't know how many inconspicuous things are buried in this Ewa Gallery. If the guy behind it is forced to restore them together at the end of the road, then the disaster will not be less than a magic book. .”

"Are you telling me to try to suppress each other all at once?"

"Persival...you don't understand us." Jaze lowered his face, "There is no possibility of black magicians being suppressed at once. If we make this kind of preset mechanism, it must be anti-triggering. When black magic When the division loses its combat effectiveness, all the buried things will explode together."

Percival smiled instead: "It's true that I haven't fought a black mage for a long time, you're right."

"Jaze, do you have a way to identify the person who was made into a magic book?" Lu Ning asked.

"Only the creator himself can tell the difference. If you take an item, I can make a restoration attempt to identify it, but I can't do this identification on every object in the Ewa Gallery." Jaze sighed, "This is the reason why black magic is difficult to guard against. Now that you have come into contact with it, please be careful in everything, because everything may become a fatal move."

"...Wait, Jaze, if a person has been made into a magic book like this, how long does it take for him to switch forms?"

"That depends on the producer's intentions, not his own intentions. I can only say that if it were me, I could complete the form switch in a second."

Lu Ning stood up abruptly and looked at Parcival.

"Principal! If... I mean if... if the murderer never left the scene..."

"We will return immediately." Parcival immediately got up.

The Violet Library, the outer corridor area, is just in the shadow of the moonlight. A man wearing a dark red mage robe with a long knife and a thin sword hanging from his waist is standing in the shadow.

"Mr. Heinz."

Two people in loose robes suddenly appeared in the corridor.

"Invisibility is seldom used in Ewarang. There are methods to break invisibility everywhere. If you even bring an alarm device, you won't be able to please." The man's voice was very powerful, with the sharpness of a sword coming out of its sheath .

"We will pay attention. But Mr. Heinz, we are also a cooperative relationship, please pay attention to your tone."

"Even if I talk to other congressmen, I still have the same tone." The man turned his head, "Or do you think you are noble? Are you really brainwashed by the stupid theories you promote? The book burner?"

The two were silent for a moment, and finally the person on the left cupped his hands: "Sir, you taught me the lesson."

"Tell me, what's the situation?"

"According to the information you provided, the chief referee of Gascoigne has already completed the test. We did not target the students here, but selected some unaccompanied people. I believe that the disappearance of these people will not cause too much confusion. "

"Ah."

"Secondly, the twenty great magister-level book-burning officers we specially prepared have completed the recitation of the magic guide book. They are currently in good condition, and three of them can even reach the emperor-level combat effectiveness if they have enough time."

"The emperor who was brought up temporarily, you'd better not overestimate them." Heinz said coldly.

"Yes. Lastly, our people have brainwashed students from 43 colleges. Although each college only has one or two students, we can immediately stir them up if needed..."

"What is my first order for you to do?" Heinz's hand was already on the handle of the knife.

"Testing for the refactoring of the magic book."

"I said, stay away from the students." Heinz took a deep breath, "Students of Evalon, absolutely don't move, don't you realize what I mean?"

"Sorry, we thought it was for the first—"

"I don't mean to care about word games with you here, remove the brainwashing, and quit the academy, so that we still have room for cooperation." Heinz lightly stroked the pattern on the handle of the knife, "Book Burner, I don't care about your I don't care about the elite theory, and you don't care that your actual goal is to get a share of the magic book reserves in the library, but don't try to violate my bottom line. Gascoigne is a holy emperor, but the emperor who I personally killed can Fill the sky garden pool in the Violet Library."

"...Since it is cooperation, we will naturally listen to your attitude."

"You guys are a little easier to communicate with than the evolved trash."

"Although we also have our own greed, we understand the importance of cooperating with others. Please rest assured, Mr. Heinz."

"Okay, so when will you be able to burn the books? The Twilight Bandit's previous probes have given you enough information, but the remnants of the Star Ring are still thinking about sacrifices. These idiots are more intelligent than their original ones." The leader is missing a generation of gods."

"Listen to what you mean..."

"The waste of Xinghuan can only play a role of attracting attention, and evolution is completely unable to communicate. If you want to do things well, I'm afraid it's more reliable to let you do it. So I want to set a time and try to let you The burning of books can proceed smoothly."

"Thank you very much, then... we are scheduled to start after the open day of the library."

"Okay, I'll tell you the exact date." Heinz looked up, and the shadow was moving, gradually moving away from the angle that covered him.

"The discussion should not be too long. You keep going. I will try to give you the information you need. You guys are greedy for fame and fortune. This kind of person has at least some brains. I hope you don't do anything stupid to me."

"Then we take our leave, Mr. Heinz."

The two left the corridor, performed an invisibility spell on themselves again, and disappeared.

Heinz stood where he was for a moment, the shadow moved away, and another figure appeared beside him.

"My lord, we really need to pass the book burning officer..."

"Except for Gascoigne, I don't trust any of them. How can a person who can't even restrain his own greed accomplish anything great? After all, the only thing we can rely on is ourselves."

"But we still need them."

"The reconstruction of the magic book needs people, and now I have to use evil souls. But this is not possible, I can dispatch too few people. Anli, have you found any suitable candidates in the outer city?" It is still difficult to finalize the candidates for "The Bane of the Flamingo."

"A pious magician of the divine arts department, and a powerful magician of the elemental department? I already have some ideas about the latter, but... Mr. Heinz, divine arts are not easy, but piety is even more difficult. You I also know that today's magic theory does not need to pay a lot of faith to use divine arts, and there are very few people who truly believe in gods."

"Even those believers?"

"Unless...you're willing to look for it among students."

There was silence, and after a moment, there was a slight sound of metal rubbing.

"Anli, don't give me such a suggestion."

The smell of blood was so strong that it choked the nose.Even though he was mentally prepared for this, Lu Ning still felt dizzy when he saw it.

Standing at the door was Candida, slumped in front of the door. He had already pulled out his saber halfway, obviously realizing something was wrong and suddenly turned his head, but the blood hole in his heart showed that he had not been able to stop the problem.

Going in a little further, it was Jin, whose sword had been broken. There was no doubt that the captain had really launched a resistance, and even judging from the blood on his body, some of it did not belong to him.It's a pity that he still lost to the weapon, and he still stood upright with his glaring eyes wide open. Two sharp cones pierced his chest and throat alternately.

Gabel was inside, still in his own seat.Judging from his expression, I'm afraid he didn't realize what happened. The only shortcoming is that there is only half of it - a quarter of his head was cut off, and half of his face fell to the ground.

Pruitt and Stevenson were lucky, because one was a student and the other was an important invitee, so when Lu Ning and Parcival left, they also left to rest first, but they insisted on staying behind for their friends Jingrui here also did not escape the disaster, his monk robe was already stained red with blood, and he lay prostrate on the ground, no ups and downs could be seen.

Lu Ning stepped forward, squatted down, and probed a little, but when her fingers reached in front of his nose, Jingrui suddenly moved her fingers and grabbed Lu Ning's wrist.

At that moment, her heart was in her throat.

But Jingrui opened her closed eyes, rolled her eyeballs slightly upwards, and saw Lu Ning squatting in front of her.

"...Lu Ning..."
