I just want to live an ordinary life with the power of the protagonist

Chapter 40 40. Giving the Faith
In addition to allowing people to become guardians of the undead, the Black Book of the Dead can also grant powerful mana to the reader, as long as the reader is willing to sacrifice his faith to please Anubis.

Anubis will bestow powerful magic power on the reader.

However, Wang Bo is not rare.

Because this power was bestowed by Anubis, Anubis can take it back at will.

For example, in The Mummy 2, when Imerton challenged the Scorpion Emperor, originally with his strength, killing the Scorpion Emperor was effortless.

However, when he arrived at the tomb of the Scorpion Emperor, Anubis easily withdrew Imerton's mana.

As a result, Imerton became an ordinary person, and he could only challenge the Scorpion Emperor as an ordinary person.

Also, in addition to Anubis, the Sun Golden Sutra can easily deprive the user of mana.

In the original plot, Imerton was killed by O'Connor after Evelyn used the Sun Golden Sutra to deprive him of his mana.

It can be seen that this kind of relying on faith to obtain mana is really unreliable.

It will be deprived casually.

Therefore, Wang Bo is not at all indifferent to the mana bestowed by Anubis, and he will not give up his faith because of it.

However, Wang Bo is very interested in the mysterious side knowledge recorded in the book.

Especially the knowledge about the soul and the undead opened Wang Bo's horizons and gave him a deeper understanding.

As expected of the Black Book of the Undead, just the content recorded in it is enough to give Wang Bo a new understanding of death.

No wonder Imerton had no fear of death.When he was killed by O'Connor, he also uttered a famous saying... Death is just the beginning.

For this kind of person who understands death, death is really not a terrible thing.

After sailing at sea these days, Wang Bo lived in seclusion and read the Black Book of the Dead every day. He was completely attracted by the knowledge recorded in the Black Book of the Dead.

The knowledge of these mysterious sides is so fascinating that Wang Bo has forgotten the time.

bang bang bang...

One night, when Wang Bo was holding the Black Book of the Dead and greedily absorbing the knowledge in it, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Wang Bo frowned in displeasure, but still put down the book in his hand, came to the door and opened it.

"Evelyn?"

As a result, Wang Bo found that the person standing at his door was actually Evelyn.

"It's so late, what's the matter with you? And your outfit..."

Wang Bo looked up and down. At this time, Evelyn was wearing a long red dress, with beautiful wavy hair, lipstick, slender fingers, and snow-like skin, looking elegant and charming.

Evelyn took a deep breath and said, "Tonight, there was a small ball on the ship. I was invited, but I don't have a male partner yet, so you..."

"You want to invite me to be your male partner to this small dance party." Wang Bo suddenly realized.

Evelyn nodded again and again, "Yes, on the boat, the only male companions I know besides you are Jonathan, but Jonathan already has a female companion, so I..."

"But I still have books to read." Wang Bo was a little confused.

Evelyn:  …

She rubbed her temples and told herself not to be angry, "Can't you come back and read?"

"But I'm reading a very critical part." Wang Bo reminded: "And, have you forgotten my identity?"

"You mean, Orientals?"

"Yes." Wang Bo said calmly: "As far as I know, your country is not friendly to us Orientals. If you let me be your male companion, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Evelyn thought about it for a long time. She didn't care about being laughed at. Anyway, she didn't fit in with that kind of high society, but she didn't want Wang Bo to be laughed at. After all, Wang Bo was her friend.

So she said decisively: "Okay, let that damn ball go to hell, what are you watching, the Black Book of the Dead?"

Wang Bo nodded, "That's right."

"If it's convenient, you can chat with me, I'm quite interested in the Black Book of the Dead."

"Of course, come in."

After Wang Bo invited Evelyn to come in, he held the Black Book of the Dead and explained in detail what he had gained these days.

The understanding of mystery, the understanding of death, the understanding of the undead.

Evelyn was mesmerized by these things.

Now she finally understands why Wang Bo has been hiding in his room these days, because this knowledge is so fascinating.

Like Wang Bo, she was completely addicted to it.

……

The next morning, when Wang Bo woke up, he felt heavy in his arms. He looked down and saw Evelyn, who was wearing a red dress, tightly hugging his waist. Fortunately, the clothes of both of them were in good condition.

In other words, nothing interesting happened last night.

Wang Bo recalled that the two of them chatted very late last night around the Black Book of the Dead, and fell asleep without knowing it.

But he didn't expect that when he woke up, he would encounter such a scene.

However, Wang Bo did not continue to pretend to be asleep like everyone else, but instead patted Evelyn on the shoulder to wake her up.

"I'm sorry." Evelyn felt a little embarrassed after waking up.

Wang Bo said calmly: "It's nothing, you don't need to apologize, and I took advantage of you, so you don't need to apologize."

Evelyn:  …

"Okay, let's skip this embarrassing topic and go for a little breakfast?"

"no problem."

So the two went out and came to the restaurant.

Not long after, Laura and Jonathan came in one after another. After seeing the two of them, Jonathan asked, "Evelyn, where did you go last night? I didn't see you at the dance."

Evelyn said: "I had a little problem last night, so I didn't go to the dance."

"What's the problem?" Jonathan asked.

"This has nothing to do with you, Jonathan." Evelyn glared at his brother. The innocent Jonathan had no idea what happened and why he was reprimanded by his sister.

However, he still wisely closed his mouth and drank water silently.

Laura said, "Evelyn, did you spend the night in Wang Bo's room last night?"

puff……

Jonathan sprayed Wang Bo with a mouthful of water.

Wang Bo let out a breath of cold air subconsciously, freezing the oncoming water droplets into ice beads, which landed on the table with a clatter, and then rolled to the ground.

With Ripple Qigong these days, Wang Bo's physique is getting stronger and stronger, and the strength of his lungs is also getting stronger.

Not enough cold air to freeze the oceans, create hurricanes, and blow out the stars.

But it can freeze a basin of water without any problem.
