Lord of War

  Cecilia and others have moved from the second carriage to the first carriage.

  Sean and Alfred seemed to be discussing something, while Cecilia and Hina were sitting in the carriage, looking outside through the window, joking and laughing from time to time. But the scenery on the Gobi wasteland is nothing but yellow sand or loess or dry cracks. For Hina and Cecilia, who grow in the rich and gentle northern environment, they will naturally encounter this kind of scenery when they first see it. There was a sense of novelty and excitement, but I quickly got bored with it, so I was short of interest.

  Cecilia, who turned her head, suddenly saw a book with a black cover, she felt curious and stretched out her hand to get it. But when she touched the book of the devil, she suddenly let out a scream, her hand suddenly retracted like an electric shock, her face turned pale as if she was seriously ill, and she sat next to Cecilia. Hina was even more silly.

  The voice of Sean and Alfred talking abruptly stopped, even the carriage stopped, there was a rustling noise outside, and the veterans had already protected the entire carriage. Until then, there was a sound outside: "Master Shaun, what happened?"

   "It's okay." Sean frowned, his face gloomy and terribly gloomy, "You keep going and call me when you get to the Saiddings Oasis."

   "Yes." The veterans outside didn't think much about it. Since Sean said it was okay, there must be no problem, so the team moved forward again.

  Only inside the carriage, the atmosphere is terribly silent.

   "What's the matter?" Alfred's gaze also fell on the black book.

"The trophies of Timbersberg before, the relics of Mudds." Sean sighed, walked over to embrace Cecilia, and gently patted her on the back, Cecilia seemed to find something to rely on. , Crying in a low voice, "I've been thinking of ways to destroy this book all this time, but I have already used any means and it's totally impossible."

   "Destroy?" Alfred was a little confused, "Can't you just tear off the book?"

"This book is harder than your axe." Sean said irritably. If he could deal with it so easily, he would have torn it up a long time ago. "This is the book of the devil, and one shouldn't exist here. Things in the world."

  The Book of Demons, this is something that Mudds has been holding in his hand before, an epic equipment.

[Book of Demons, Epic, Hardness 100, Stamina +15, Intelligence +15, Will +15, Immortal Effect "Soul Sacrifice": Any bronze-level creature you kill, its soul will be swallowed by this (Each hundred enemy deaths will permanently increase the endurance, intelligence, and will of this equipment by +1). Perpetual effect "Demon Contract": You can exchange for shelter from the demon lord through sacrifice (by permanently reducing the attribute value of this equipment, you can get the assistance of summoning the devil). Eternal effect "Vitality Youth": The soul's unwillingness and anger curse you, but it also makes you never suffer from the passage of time (an extra year of life will make this equipment's stamina -5, intelligence -5, Will-5). Permanent effect "Demon Mark": In the eyes of demons, you are as bright as a lighthouse (any demons you defeat will be sealed in this book). Note: Every time a demon summoned from the Book of Devil dies, the page of the Book of Demon will be permanently reduced by one page, but by killing a hundred enemies to sacrifice, one page of the Book of Demon will be permanently added. Sacrifice cannot coexist with soul sacrifice. The current record of Demon Page: 131. 】

   [Item description: This is a book that should not exist in this world. No one knows who made it. The only history that can be studied is that the earliest era of this book is the end of the twilight era. 】

  The quality and abilities of this book of devil, in Shaun’s view, should definitely not be epic equipment, but a artifact. He had not taken the book of the devil in the game at the time, nor had he seen it before, but vaguely remembered that he heard that it was an epic-level equipment, and at present, it is indeed written "epic" in quality, but it is a possession. Growth equipment, Sean has never seen the equipment below the artifact.

  Even if the growth nature of this piece of equipment requires continuous massacre, it cannot deny its essence.

  It’s just that the most important attribute increase for players is not important in such a real world. What is really important are the two abilities of "Demon Contract" and "Vitality Youth". The former can seal the demons obtained in exchange for sacrifices in this book. When using it, just tear off the pages of the book to seal the demons inside. Summoned, and the demons that are summoned will obey the orders of those who use the Book of Demons.

It’s just that the cost of this summoning is a bit terrifying-Shaun has already seen that to summon a kobold infernal, the three attributes of this piece of equipment need to be permanently reduced by five points, which means that at least five hundred lives are required, even the lowest level. The little devil also needs a hundred lives.

  The latter's ability is even more crazy enough. At the cost of slaughtering 500 people every year, you can live forever in this world, and even maintain the state of peak strength. I am afraid that few people will not be distracted.

  This is basically a piece of equipment that is constantly forcing people to kill. It’s no wonder that the item description of this piece of equipment directly says “this is a book that shouldn’t exist in this world”, but its hardness of up to 100 points makes it possible that few things in this world can be destroyed. A piece of equipment, and a bigger problem is that this piece of equipment will continue to attract creatures with demon blood or demon power to trouble themselves.

  Shaun doesn’t want to deal with demons for the rest of his life. Those creatures are notoriously difficult. So in this trip to the trade capital, Sean, in addition to buying a large number of slaves, actually had the idea of ​​taking the book to the Magic Tower Chamber of Commerce or the Legendary Fire Hammer Chamber of Commerce to sell, he didn’t care if the book would eventually fall. It doesn't matter if it's in the hands of someone, it doesn't matter if it's the enemy, it's a big deal later.

  I just didn’t expect that Cecilia would actually find the book and reach out to touch it. Of course, if you touch this book under normal circumstances, you will only feel a special chill. At most, you will feel some resentment. But Cecilia's such a fierce reaction is obviously not normal, and Sean is really curious. , At that moment, what exactly did Cecilia feel?

  It’s just that Cecilia didn’t say it, and Sean was of course not good at exposing the scar, so he could only calm down. Maybe it was because the stimulation was too great, or maybe Cecilia was tired from crying. In short, under the comfort of Sean, Cecilia fell asleep quickly. Hina carefully wiped the sweat on Cecilia’s forehead with a damp cloth. In the past six months, she and Cecilia have a good relationship. Cecilia also tried to teach Hina magic, but It's a pity that Little Hina has no talent in this area at all, and Sean estimates that she can only develop in the direction of [Physics] career.

  Of course, if she is interested.

  "What do you plan to do with this book?" Seeing Sean carefully put the Book of Devil away, Alfred couldn't help but ask.

"Sell." Sean said without thinking, "Whether it is sold to the Magic Tower or the Legendary Fire Hammer, this book can be sold at a good price. For us, gold coins are the most urgently needed. , As for other things, it’s not particularly important."

  Since Sean had an idea, Alfred nodded and said nothing. Anyway, he actually didn’t understand anything like magic, and this magic book could actually make Cecilia scream in fear, and Alfred was somewhat wary of this book. And beware, he was afraid that his daughter would accidentally touch the book and then be frightened out of trouble.

   "Speaking of which, have you considered the next way forward?" After hiding the Demon Book, Sean turned around and asked Alfred.

  "Where are you going?" Alfred was a little puzzled.

  "Have you been stuck in bronze for a long time?" Sean asked.

   Hearing Sean’s words, Alfred was taken aback for a while, and then he said, “It’s true that it’s been some years. But I’m already this old, and it’s probably the limit of my talent.”

  Shaun rolled his eyes. If this is your limit, he would not have been able to go to Cerroda Village through the long mountains and rivers. He also named Alfred to join him. But at this moment, when he heard Alfred’s words, Sean also understood that he was puzzled by his own way of power. In addition, after reuniting with his daughter, his heart was relatively stable, unlike the infinite power in the game. Forced to continuously improve his own strength, so till now he still stays in the lower bronze.

   "You can consider using external forces." Shaun reminded, "Or, change the way of fighting."

   "External force?" Alfred was taken aback for a while, his eyes fell on the flaming lion fangs beside him. With this weapon, he could indeed compete with the upper bronze in strength, and he could even barely compete with the lower silver.

"It's not this kind of external force." Sean was a little bit dumbfounded. He knew Alfred's gaze that he definitely wanted to be awkward. No matter how powerful the equipment is, it will be useless if the user's own strength is not good. "You Have you heard of Constructed Warrior and Magic Warrior?"

   "No." Alfred said plainly.

  And he was so crisp, but he choked Sean a little speechless, and didn't know where to start. After thinking for a while, he said, "The construction is actually a kind of thing imitating the magic pattern. The constructor draws the magic pattern on a special drawing, and then engraves it on the person according to the lines of the drawing. In this way, the structure is imprinted on the body, so that people can exert this kind of power similar to the magic pattern, but this kind of behavior requires very high physical fitness, and generally only fighters can hold on, so it is called structure. Pretend to be fighters."

"The magic warrior is actually similar to the construction warrior, except that the magic pattern is drawn on the equipment. These equipment and the user will have a soul connection, except for themselves, no one can use it, so It’s called a magic warrior. However, this method requires a relatively high magic power and will for the user. In my opinion, your will is enough. The magic power... In fact, it can be practiced, but it takes a longer time. It's long."

  Alfred had never heard of the two mentioned by Sean. At this moment, it seemed as if a new door was opened in front of him. It is generally believed that the reason why things like weapons and armors are external forces means that they can never become the real power of the users themselves. Therefore, under normal circumstances, anyone will choose the path of constructing warriors. But Alfred is very clear that Sean is not a person who can talk casually. He specifically pointed out the profession of "Magic Warrior", which means that this profession must also have a certain degree of desirability, otherwise it will not It was taken out by Sean alone.

  So after a little thought, Alfred said, "I want to hear your suggestions."

"In fact, the magic warrior is very good, but the growth is very slow." In a certain way, Sean is a person from the future. He naturally has a vision beyond this era for the general trend of the future. In the early stage, he constructed the fighter completely. It can be said to crush the magic warrior, but when the magic technology is developed, the magic warrior has become an extremely powerful profession. "In my hometown, the magic warrior has a different name."

  Alfred showed interest.

"iron Man."

  Iron Man. Alfred, well, it seems to sound slightly more than the God of War Alfred.
