Chapter 74: The Beginning of Evil
Cass was an experienced [Crusader].
Upon hearing Han Dong's alarm, the matter of the wooden door opening was irreversible, and Cass closed his eyes in the first instant.
It only felt like a cold wind brushed his body.
Imdiately taking advantage of his Crusader physique, he continuously retreated and kicked at the door.
Boom! The study door closed again.
Cass closed his eyes in ti to see nothing.
"What's going on? What was just outside the door?"
Coslin responded evenly, "Ghost! Like the description on the bounty, the woman hidden under the white cloth has twig-like tentacles on the surface of her body."
"What's going on? What about the study?"
When Cass looked back at his teammates, he noticed that the forrly dilapidated study was 'restored'!
Restored to a kind of study look that a mansion should have.
"Is it to say that 'Night' will restore the mansion? Or, does the moonlight illuminate its original appearance?"
While his teammates were surprised and considering how to deal with the ghost outside the door.
Han Dong had picked up a special diary on his desk and read it carefully, which contained the secrets of the 'Baker family'.
Han Dong skimd over the trivia and read on so of the important points.
The notes were written by [Marcellus Baker] writing.
It reads as follows.
March 17.
I heard from old Henry today that a good quality batch of 'new stuff' has arrived in the commonwealth.
It's just as well that I am tired of playing with the slaves at ho, so it's ti for so new flavors.
It's just that needing to go to a filthy, stinking place like the Commoners' Quarter myself makes
a little uncomfortable, so I hope old Henry won't lie to .
(The process of buying a slave, about 800 words)
Without a slave as he could see, old Henry's 'channel' was obviously not working and there was no need to continue contact with him in the future.
But there was one item on display at the end of the auction that intrigued .
A book with special magical powers.
It was said to be sothing that a civilian who wasn't afraid to die had picked up from the abandoned sewer system, and after that civilian sold the book to the auction at a normal price, he died violently at ho the sa day.
The starting price of the book was as high as 300 copper coins.
I believed in my vision, and this was the only way for
to get back on the path of knighthood, even if I had to shake the family funds to buy it.
If I could learn the special magic recorded in this book, I would be able to go back to the [Library] and continue my path of knighthood.
I asked the butler to send money over, bought the book and imdiately rushed back ho.
No one should know that I participated in this commoner's auction as I was using a false identity.
March 18th.
Unbelievably, the contents of this book are far beyond my imagination, and with my 'Trainee Knight' wisdom, I can only understand the first chapter at most.
But that's enough, as long as I can execute Chapter 1 perfectly, I'll gain endless magical power! When I return to the [Library] faculty, the teachers who expelled
in the past will definitely regret their foolish actions back then.
The living sacrifice has to be prepared slowly, and there's only one chance.
I have to conduct a 'small mock experint' at ho first, and if I can succeed, then I can execute my great plan in detail.
It's just as well, isn't this old woman at ho a living sacrifice?
I wanted to kill her long ago, but this family was built because of , the great 'trainee knight', and she and her old father were just giving
a little start-up money.
After being expelled from the academy, she looked at
every day as if she was looking at trash.
I can't wait to make this old woman dead.
March 19.
I'm a little late in writing this, but I have to give a record of the fun things that happened today.
It was so much fun, the experint worked, and I gained power!
Furthermore, I actually created a 'Pollution Body' through the arcane spells I learned in the Knight Academy in conjunction with the contents of the first chapter of the book.
A kind of pollutant body that was completely harmless to !
Yes, I'm gifted and I can perfectly activate the magic written in the books!
After I drained the old woman of her life energy, I also transford her into a pollutant through a formation.
You can try what I tell you later in the first chapter, and try to insert a little more into her body, and turn her into a powerful contaminated body that will guard the mansion, stopping and killing anyone who enters my house and tries to interfere with the sacrifice ceremony.
If this all actually works.
I might, I might be able to beco a 'king'.
March 20th.
It was a fun day today too!
I stuffed my whole family into this old woman and made her into a very powerful 'pet'.
It was heartbreaking for my young son, but it couldn't be helped.
What surprised
the most was that the refining site was located in the back garden, and when I drove the Evil Formation, I didn't expect that even the hundred-year-old sycamore tree had rged in with it.
It was truly incredible! This magic book has the power to manipulate the lives of all things.
The plan starts tomorrow, take this opportunity to draw the policen to my door! With the way I am now, it's easy to manipulate these soft-skinned guys.
Create a murderous plan, I guess.
---------------------
The contents of the diary end here.
The contents of this diary are a clear explanation of what happened in the Baker household.
The mastermind of the conspiracy is the head of the house, Baker Marcellus.
As for the 'ghost' floating in the mansion, it is a product of pollution created by him using his wife as the main subject, and then fusing his entire family with a sycamore tree.
But the point that Han Dong cared about and was most concerned about was not this.
Rather, it was the book that this family owner had bought back at great expense.
"The 'magic book' that was auctioned back from the commoners' area, picked up by a certain commoner in a long-abandoned sewer pipe? There's more to it than that, there's sothing very wrong with this book.
It is true that the tests of the Royal Knight Academy may have so problems, but the students are treated fairly enough, and as long as they et the school's requirents, they will be able to study and grow within the departnts.
Baker Marcellus, expelled from the academy. Marcellus, who was denied talent and strength, was able to gain such great power through a book.
This shows that it wasn't that he was gifted.
Rather, the magic book deliberately granted him powerful evil powers, intentionally using this Baker Master to contaminate the interior of the Holy City.
Finding the book, we might be able to implicate the guy behind the book."
---------------------
"Friend Andeva! What have you got?"
Cass' question interrupted Han Dong's thoughts.
"Well, we already know the secret of the Baker family, but first we have to take care of the 'contaminant' that's lingering outside the door.
According to the book's description, the 'specter' itself fused with the Baker family and a hundred-year-old sycamore tree in the backyard.
The thod of refinent involved 'eyes', which Senior Coslin had already seen.
You must be careful with eye contact when fighting."
Cass looked surprised, "In just three minutes, you've read the entire diary, Andeva? And take down key points?"
Han Dong explained, "Omitting irrelevant information, there's not much really useful information, and reading a book is also about efficiency and thod, Captain Cass, you'll make the battle plan."
"Alright."
Cass nodded, deliberately throwing Han Dong an ulterior glance.
