The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing Chapter 236 - 188 An Su: They’re All Underlings! (Two in One

The dusk of midsumr was nearly gone as a light rain began to fall. From the vantage point of Farol Upper City District, one could see all the way to the horizon, where a misty drizzle veiled the clouds, preventing the sunset from piercing through, and thus spilling its entirety onto the clouds above, leaving half the sky aglow with red and the other half shrouded in shadow.

As ti gradually passed, the red clouds darkened, leaving behind a grey, leaden overcast at the edge of the sky. After tidying up his dormitory with simplicity, An Su glanced at his watch. With fifteen minutes to spare, he prepared to head down to the Lower City District for his appointnt.

"Master, you have a package," said Miss Enya, gazing at the neatly dressed An Su with a cool expression, "It was just received."

"The person who delivered it said it’s a forbidden book that you’d be interested in."

Enya was clad in dark-colored lady’s attire, revealing smooth calves and wearing glossy won’s shoes on her feet, with a red cord of bells tied around her ankle and yarn gloves on her hands. She held the suspicious package: a dark black cloth-wrapped book cover. Once unwrapped, there were two books inside.

With limited ti, he decided to look at one book for now.

An Su imdiately took interest in the first book, a scroll made of human skin that looked quite eerie and terrifying.

The whole book was perated with an ominous aura.

’Human Skin Ancient Scroll,’ An Su quickly ca up with an impressive na for the forbidden book, as anything bound with human skin tended to be powerful.

Following the usual trope, this was the mont for the protagonist to stumble upon an opportunity.

Back when he was a player, An Su enjoyed collecting ancient relics of the Esoteric Religion. So would yield secret evil magic, while others would detail extinct sacrificial rites. Even the least of the taboo scrolls contained ancient secrets, guiding players to unlock mysterious dungeons.

"It seems this book is quite ancient," Miss Enya said seriously as she examined the human skin scroll, "Based on my estimation, it should be from the mid-3rd century."

An Su was amazed by Enya’s discerning eye and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"Because it’s written right here. You’re becoming duller," she said.

Enya spread out the human skin scroll and pointed to the cover, which clearly stated in ancient language, ’Published in the year 201 of the Era of Chaos.’

An Su looked at the words on the cover and fell into a brief silence.

He suddenly felt that the human skin scroll had lost so of its value.

No matter what, this ancient scroll still ca from thirty thousand years ago… An Su consoled himself inwardly. Moreover, the Cultists said this was a forbidden book of interest to him, so it must contain evil and taboo knowledge, maybe even techniques that have been lost.

Enya, wearing her yarn gloves, turned the first page. Her expression remained unchanged, but she lifted her eyes with a peculiar gaze at An Su, then lowered her head again to read intently. Her amber eyes didn’t blink as she softly humd through her nose, pursed her thin lips slightly, and continued to read, reflecting a thoughtful look.

"I see," she said.

"What kind of forbidden knowledge is in there?" An Su asked with curiosity, seeing Enya exploring the book so tentatively.

He was in a hurry to avoid being late.

"It contains forbidden knowledge, docunting lost techniques. Without a doubt, this is a forbidden book," said Miss Enya with an unchanged expression.

This was indeed a treasure... An Su felt a rush of nervousness. His own assassin maid was the real monster, for her recognition ant the book must be filled with evil magic to kill.

If the Order Church found him reading such a book, An Su feared at the very least he’d lose his title as a saint.

Taking a deep breath to prepare himself,

An Su carefully took the book. It felt cool and dry in his hand, carrying an icy and deadly aura as if countless aggrieved souls had perished because of this taboo to, their wails resounding in An Su’s ears all at once.

This was the right feeling!

An Su was overjoyed, fixing his gaze till his pupils dilated.

On the human skin scroll was prominently written [Chaotic Empire Prohibited Publication. Volu One], with a line of small print beneath stating: Not for viewing by persons under sixteen.

An Su was taken aback.

Defying superstition, he flipped to the first page. Vivid illustrations accompanied by lively text descriptions were eloquently written with splendid artwork, along with all kinds of lost techniques, that turned his face as black as coal.

Was it this type of forbidden book?

Which damned bastard sent this over?

He should have known, not one of the Mysticism of Chaos was reliable.

"Master, I know that you’ve also reached that age," Enya said as she moved close to him, rising on her tiptoes. Their faces almost touched instantly, his ear brushed by her moist, warm breath, "It’s normal for you to be curious about these things."

"Buying this kind of book is sothing I can understand."

She showed an expression of satisfaction, as if proud that the young master had finally grown up.

An Su felt a tingling in his scalp, never before experiencing such sha in his life and wishing he could burrow into a hole and hide.

He thought that his most embarrassing experience was flushing red while watching three actors in one go at the Magic Association, ranking it as number one in sha. Little did he know, it would now take second place—

He discovered the Youth Cultivation Manual that had been mailed to him, and there was nothing more humiliating!

"If you’re curious, I can teach you,"

Enya, with a calm deanor, ntioned without skipping a beat. She cocked her head, her black hair falling to the other side of her shoulder. Drawing near like a cat, she sniffed An Su,
