The Villain Only Wants to Live a Buddhist Life2

Going a step further, how should Christmas Day be spent?

"Master." "Fox Beast" suddenly called out.

"Huh?" Duck slowed down.

"Fox Beast" whispered, "Can we also attend the Christmas Eve ball?"

Duck recalled a little, and said, "Of course, but after the original headmaster speaks."

"Fox Beast" nodded slightly, and said after a while, "Then can we also look forward to Christmas gifts?"

Duck smiled and said, "Of course."

As he spoke, he resumed his normal walking speed.

But there was a "thud" in his heart, and he finally thought of a big problem that needed to be solved - he probably needed to prepare a lot of Christmas presents this year!

……

In the library of St. Marian College, almost all the books that have existed in this world can be found.

Therefore, what troubles students is often not whether there is a book in the library, but how to find the book they want.

Dak and the "Fox Beast" were in a similar situation at this moment.

Whether it's about summoners or necromancers, they only record history, celebrities, and very general introductions.

It is undoubtedly impossible to find the spellbooks of summoners and necromancers on the outer shelves of common books.

But if you continue to enter the depths, the countless books placed in disorder will make people feel desperate.

If you want to find what you want from these thousands of books, you really need the "guidance of fate".

As for Dak himself, he obviously didn't have this "fate".

He could only do his best to help the "Monster Fox Beast" search for it, and it took him an entire afternoon to find it.

I didn't find the magic book I wanted, but I found a lot of interesting books.

He selected two of them as reading materials in his spare time.

"There is also "Astrology Class" in the evening."

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that the "demon fox" was gone!

……

"Fox beast?"

Duck frowned and called softly, but there was no response.

He could feel that the "demon fox" was by his side, but he just couldn't see its figure.

With a hint of doubt, he began to shuttle between the bookshelves, trying to find the "fox beast" by following the induction.

But after a few minutes of searching for nothing, the "Fox Beast" suddenly emerged from between the bookshelves, and it already had a book with a black cover in its hand.

Dak looked at the book and asked curiously, "Did you find it?"

"Fox Beast" nodded lightly: "Yeah."

Duck asked, "How did you find it?"

"Fox Beast" looked away sideways and said, "I got lost."

The bookshelves in the library are all of the same style, and there are still labels on the outer shelves, but they are almost exactly the same when they are inside, and they are not much different at first glance.

It's normal to get lost in the absence of a point of reference.

But Dak still felt weird.

He glanced at the countless bookshelves behind the "Monster Fox Beast", and quickly said, "Just find it, go out first."

As he spoke, he quickly walked out with the "Monster Fox Beast" and came to the reading room.

Most students of St. Marian College will have more places to go after they are promoted to the second grade, and basically they will not stay in the reading room of the library for a long time.

So Darke's fixed seat has also been taken by the first graders.

He found a quiet corner again and sat down with "Fox Beast".

Only then did he ask in a low voice, "What book is it?"

The "Fox Beast" directly pushed the book in his hand to Darke.

Dak frowned slightly, then reached out to take it, and looked down.

On the writing of this pitch-black cover, there are three glyphs written in golden fonts.

That is not the font used today, with the level of knowledge of "Fox Beast", you should not know it.

Only then did Dake realize that it wasn't that the "Fox Beast" didn't say anything, but that it didn't know what kind of book it was!

But it didn't even know what book it was, so why did it take it out of the bookshelf?

Dak couldn't help looking at the "Fox Beast".

"Fox Beast" obviously knew what Duck wanted to ask, so he said immediately: "After I lost my way, I saw a bookshelf. There was no such book in that bookshelf, but when I turned back, I saw it suddenly appeared. Just pulled it out."

Dak took a little breath and said, "What else is going on?"

The "Monster Fox Beast" pursed his lips tightly, and his brows were also puzzled.

Duck paused slightly, and said, "This is a Necronomicon."

""Necronomicon", what is it?" "Fox Beast" asked doubtfully.

Darke explained: "In short, it is the magic book of the necromancer. It usually records some kind of method of summoning the undead. Perhaps it is the book we need."

"Monster Fox Beast" nodded, but did not relax his guard.

It doesn't believe that pies will fall from the sky, so although it took out this book, it still feels that there is a problem.

But Dak knew that the problem probably wasn't the book, but the library!

It is precisely because this kind of thing often happens in the library of St. Marian College, so they can't be sure whether the nameless book that records the method of cultivating the "brain monster" was introduced artificially, or whether it was introduced by a student from the library. acquired.

Just like the "Necronomicon" in front of me, it has no magic power fluctuations and no danger. It will not be the kind of high-level magic book with subjective consciousness.

But the content recorded inside this book may not be safe.

Duck wiped the gold powder that printed the title of the book, and thought about it: "If I remember correctly, this should be the Luling script mentioned by Professor Ryan Hacks in History of Magic, which was once widely used Kingdom of Luling.

It was a small country, located underground, and it had perished thousands of years ago.To decipher it, we also need a translation book. "

"I'll go find it!" "Fox Beast" blurted out.

Dak smiled helplessly, "I'll find it."

After spending another half an hour, Dake found the translation book that recorded Lu Ling's words according to the label.

Then he didn't stay in the library anymore, he went directly to the counter to borrow books, then went to the cafeteria for a simple meal, and then went straight back to the dormitory.

After sitting down, he glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and said to himself: "Six o'clock sharp, there is still an hour to spare, you can take a look first."

So he opened the "Necronomicon" and checked it again against the translated book.

Lu Ling's characters are not complicated, but they are very troublesome, and the recognition degree between glyphs is very low, which seems to be very laborious.

It was Dake's first in-depth contact with Luling's text, so the progress was very slow at the beginning, and it took half an hour to finish the translation of the first page.

However, as the proficiency in glyph recognition gradually increases, the translation speed is also accelerating.

An hour later, he roughly finished translating the previous synopsis of the "Necronomicon", and finally had a basic understanding of the book.

First of all, this is a Necronomicon.

It looks very thick, but it is actually because the material of the pages is thick, so the content of the whole book is not much.

According to the above, the follow-up content basically talks about how to collect the fragments of the soul from the corpse, and then stitch them into a "complete" soul that can be used.

The author of this book calls the stitched soul a "corpse soul".

Because the "corpse soul" is stitched together from the fragments of different souls, its consciousness is extremely chaotic, and it basically belongs to an evil spirit without thinking. It can only follow orders to do some simple tasks.

In addition, the corpses he used to collect soul fragments were all stolen from mass burial grounds, and the quality was very poor, and the soul after stitching was extremely weak.

However, little people also have ambitions. In the book, the author of "Necronomicon" imagined collecting the remaining soul fragments from the corpses of the strong, and then stitching them into powerful "corpse souls".

In short, this is not a normal book that should be in the hands of students.

Dake closed the book, took a deep breath, stuffed it into the drawer, and told the "Fox Beast": "You can't read it until I allow it."

"Monster Fox Beast" had been standing beside him, and immediately nodded at this moment.

From Duck's attitude, it also faintly felt the danger of this "Necronomicon".

This is a forbidden book.

……

During the "Astrology Class", Dake was absent-minded. He could have learned [-]% of the content, but in the end he only learned [-]%. The remaining [-]% can only be understood after class.

After the "Astrology Class" was over, he quickly returned to the dormitory. After confirming that there was no trace of flipping in the drawer, he took out the "Necronomicon" and continued to check.

The necromancer's research on the soul is indeed profound.

In their hands, the soul is like a piece of paper that can be manipulated arbitrarily.

They unscrupulously used tools and spells to cut and piece together souls, creating countless ugly and twisted things.

The author of this "Necronomicon" only used the soul fragments left by the corpses as materials, which is already considered a relatively simple type among necromancers.

But that doesn't change the nature of its blasphemy of the dead.

The longest time for a person's soul to wander in the world after death is 168 hours, and an ordinary soul will dissipate within 24 hours.

Therefore, if it wants to collect soul fragments, it must be a fresh corpse.

This is a behavior based on emotion and reason, which is not tolerated by the world.

The reason why Dak continued to translate was because there were indeed many things worth learning in this "Necronomicon".

Desecration of the dead is taboo.

But if you want to save, you need to understand.

Doctors need to dissect cadavers in the process of learning.
