Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 765 Secret Book
"Hey, you are back again? Is everything done?" Karin asked.

Shangluo nodded. He also saw Karin standing at the door holding a book: "You're done here too? Just one book?"

"It's quite impressive to have so many books. Alexandria used parchments to store these banned books. There were only so many maps, rolled up hastily, and then stacked on the X-shaped bookshelf in the library. This is also the first time I've seen this. It’s amazing that the content recorded in this secret book can be contained in a book. There are many incredible things on every page.”

"for example?"

"I would like to talk to you, but I can't. This can't be expressed in words. If one day you become an elf or a sage in the Palace of Muses, then you can look at it as you like."

[What she means is that you have to be on the list of gods before you can understand the heavenly book. As long as you are still a living person, this book is not yours to read. 】

"But since it looks like a book, it can be read, right?"

"???" Karin was stunned.

"???" Phaethon was stunned.

【? ? ? ] Apollonia was also at a loss for words for a moment, [Sure enough, the child has grown up and is no longer easy to fool. If you tell me that you 'picked it from the trash can', your child won't believe it. 】

"No! You really can't read it!" Karin bent down and hugged the book tightly, "Don't come over! You really don't come over!"

"Did I explode or did the book explode?"

"No, no, I didn't really say I wanted to read it. I just wanted to ask, can I read this book?"

"You can see it," Phaethon replied, "but it will explode if you look at it. This is true."

"No difference, it's all the same anyway. Let me give you an example. I'll give you an example you already know - the Archangel Gabriel was bound by the shepherd's oath in Hagia Sophia, and the price of facing the Archangel's wrath Just burned to ashes. What page is this?"

[Um] Apollonia looked around and let the alchemist touch Phaethon's shoulder, [Captain, it's you who have to say it. 】

"Isn't this what you said? Up is down, and down is up. There should indeed be some forbidden scriptures with destructive power, but it is now in the form of a book in front of me, that is, it can be opened Did you see it?”

"The second page of the text...," Karin replied.

"So," Phaethon explained, "actually if you turned the book to the second page and pointed it at some intelligent entity that could read it, the divine fire of the Archangel Gabriel would cause him to Burned down. Each page has its own use, and only two types of people can read it. The first type is those who know the situation through legal procedures under the mysterious feudal system of Rome. Elves, elves have no taboos, they are not affected by the Forbidden Code and cannot affect the Forbidden Code.”

"So, I can actually do it?"

"Yes, indeed, you can indeed read it. The prerequisite is that you understand it." Phaethon replied, "So I didn't deceive you before, because you really can't understand the Book of Heaven. When you can't understand it, , in fact, there is no problem in opening it - the book in front of you is the legendary "Codex Gigas". It should be called "Complete Codex" in Sinian language. This is a magic book based on magical powers. When these entries related to the devil are compiled, these texts themselves become a grimoire."

"Since it's so dangerous, why should it be kept here?" "Because there must be an archive after all. The function of this library is similar to the Golden Chamber and Stone Chamber in Cathay - you can not read it, but you can't live without it. Texts that are often called outside There will be another set of rules to manage it, but only here can the original be properly preserved.”

"Because there are angels guarding the door for you, right?"

"Theoretically, the library's protection is similar to that of Constantinople."

"I can indeed see this." Shangluo replied. He could predict what the Moon Angel would look like when it appeared in other places. The evil eye exists widely and is rooted in ancient magic around the Mediterranean. It has become a common folklore knowledge that has sunk into people's hearts since ancient Egypt. The moon angel is the embodiment of this concept. Said to be an angel, it would actually be more appropriate to call him the "Evil Eyed Demon".

If he were used to guard Constantinople, his deterrent power would actually be no less than that of Gabriel. This evil eye is not only unlucky, but will actually cause substantial damage to Shangluo's level of combat effectiveness. And when it comes to mortals, it may be as lethal as the heavenly fire in Sodom, which can destroy heaven and earth.

But instead of confronting the Moon Angel, Phaethon used the key. It's like having a shepherd in your hand to Gabriel, only different. The archangel's seal is a one-time seal, and it will explode when opened. Yue Angel has reusable environmentally friendly shopping bags. You can fold them up after use and you can continue to use them next time.

[Reusable shopping bags are too outrageous! The ground is shaking again! 】

"Even if you can hear it, He can hear it too?"

[Of course your contempt can be felt. After all, they are also demon-level beings who have made mistakes and are being punished here. If you offend them like this, watch out for their petty intentions and come out one day to settle the score with you. 】

"Tch, He can't escape."

[Are you Mr. Guan Er? You are proud of your superiors but never bully your subordinates. I see that you respect the elevator girl and the noble Tianyi very much. Why is it that a big killer is here and you don't care? 】

"How should I put it? Compared to Tianyi, this thing under my feet is more like furniture to me. I only have functional expectations for this thing, and over there, you have to take the elevator, right? See you when you look down. Just like saying hello to a neighbor, it never hurts to be polite. Besides, I already said it before, so what’s the use of trying to make up for it now?”

[Actually, it’s still useful. 'Demons' like angels are different from other demons. In principle, they still love people. So as long as you sincerely apologize, it won't be a big problem. 】

"Is it really okay? But I've been stepping on His head for so long, I" Shangluo took a step back when he looked at his feet, which was still stepping on the magic circle. When he thought that the ground was indeed still vibrating just now, he suddenly felt a little sorry——

"How do I apologize? Just a verbal apology?"

[Please offer some sacrifices. Discussing deeds, regardless of heart. 】

"Let's take a look. I still have some leftover steamed buns here. The one on the left is the steamed bun made with Zhu Ling's recipe, and the one on the right is the steamed bun from the zoo in New Antioch. Which one should I offer?"

[You can take care of it yourself. 】
