58 The Destiny of Devouring(1/2)

In the dark and dark basement, messy books were scattered all over the floor, drawing and painting, and papers filled with various words were placed on the desk in a mess, silent.

A quill pen with ink stained nib was placed on the edge of the desk. The remaining ink was inlaid with the text half written on the paper below, as if the owner was writing something suddenly encountered an emergency and hurried away.

In the corner of the desk, an inconspicuous glass ball was quietly placed on the side of the ink bottle. The dark gray appearance made it look very inconspicuous, but the occasional gray surging appearance looked quite extraordinary.

...

"I didn't find any hell aura here."

...

“There is nothing upstairs.”

...

"The last time I came, I found something unusual in the basement."

...

A vague sound of conversation appeared outside the door, and the sound coming through the wooden door seemed a little dull, but if you listen carefully, you could still hear two young male voices.

As the conversation sounded, the ball on the table suddenly rolled up and finally fell to the ground. It was like it fell on the ground because of a vibration. However, unlike the normal vibration drop, after pausing on the ground for a moment, it began to roll again, on a flat and dim floor.

The gray ball on the floor, with a creaking sound, the two people who pushed open the wooden door and entered the basement did not realize the existence of this thing. The ball relied on their own disguise and kept rolling, moving, moving, and finally quietly stayed on someone's route of travel.

"It's just here that I found an abnormality, but it seems to be gone now..."

The young man's clear voice sounded, his tone was quite puzzled.

Another person replied: "Maybe you are encountering a floating resentful spirit. This kind of resentful spirit will never stay in one place for too long, and will always wander around."

"Do you travel? It seems that these resentful spirits have lived a good life after their death."

...

In response uncontrollably, Charles paused suddenly and felt that he seemed to be stepping on something. So he moved his feet and looked down. A gray ball came into his eyes.

This looked just an ordinary glass ball. After Shire picked it up and looked it carefully, he did not notice any abnormality. It was just that the prompt from the Eye of True Knowledge changed his originally careless mentality.

【Spiritual glass ball, please be careful, it may be hostile to you】

The hostility of a glass ball?

It was strange that Charles was about to show this thing to Elliot, who was accompanying him, and a gray color suddenly flashed out and shot towards his cheek like lightning.

Without any reaction time, the gray light quickly penetrated into Charles' eyes, and he screamed in shock.

"What's wrong with you?" The young man in white suit, walking around the basement and carefully inspected, noticed his abnormality, frowned and came to him.

"No, nothing? Maybe I'm dazzled." Charles answered absent-mindedly.

He seemed to hear the scream just now...a illusion?

He looked down at the glass ball in his hand again. The originally dim and turbid sphere had turned into a transparent area.

After a few careful examinations, I never noticed any abnormality again. The Eye of True Knowledge also suggested that this thing had lost all extraordinary factors.

So he shook his head, put the thing on the desk casually, and then looked at the dusty bookshelf.

"I hope you can get something here." As he prayed secretly, Charles began to search.

Before coming to the basement, he had already searched through the books and ink traces of the entire castle. Apart from some monster novels and knight hymns, he did not find any valuable items.

"Maybe you should take these things back and look at them. It's getting late now." Seeing him like this, Elliot couldn't help but remind him.

"The night is the ruling place of demons, and rushing around overnight is not a good choice."

"Okay, listen to you." Nodded, Charles closed the book he had just opened, scanned the surroundings and said, "But with so many books, our carriage may not be able to hold it."

“You can hire one locally.”

Elliot said, suddenly saying, "There is nothing unusual in this castle, but I don't recommend you live here?"

"What?" This person was not a targetless person, so Charles cared about his words.

"I'm not sure," Elliot frowned, "I just think the mayor of the Canyon Town we met when we came was not simple."

...

After leaving the castle, Charles glanced at the vulgar mayor for several times, but did not see anything that was not simple. The prompt from the Eye of True Knowledge did not notice any abnormality.

But despite this, Charles was not so arrogant that he disagreed with it.

The Eye of True Knowledge does not mean that there is no problem at all. This ability and the knowledge he possesses are interconnected. If there is something that he cannot understand completely, the Eye of True Knowledge will not see anything.

...

After hiring a carriage in the local area, the two hurriedly set off on the road and returned to Pita before the full moon rose.

After thanking Elliott, Charles returned to the residence and began to search carefully.

Before, I took out a lot of documents and books from the basement of the castle. There was no classification, so Charles could only find the same thing. However, if he only had one, it would be a needle in a haystack to find some information from the books that could at least fill a whole bookshelves.

I wanted to find a helper to help me, but unfortunately, none of my servants could read. Grace, the only literate butler, was a little presbyopic and it was very troublesome to read.

So after realizing this, Charles simply asked her to go back and rest and started work by herself.

He decided to find a few literate bookmakers to "clean up" the pile of things tomorrow. In fact, if possible, he wanted to go out and hire now, but it was too late.

After reading the books for most of the night, Charles did not find any useful clues. In the end, he was so tired that he was dizzy that he felt sleepy and collapsed on the desk and fell asleep.

...

In his dream, he seemed to have become a girl, born in a wealthy family, with long dark hair and beautiful green eyes.

When she was young, she was a good baby. She followed her mother's butt all day long, and did not cry or make a fuss. She was curious about everything.

When she was a girl, she became a little rebellious and she no longer obeyed her parents' discipline like before, but instead was quite resistant to her.

At a social dance, the girl secretly fell in love with a young nobleman and handed over her first time to the other party after a date.

However, after that time, the young nobleman changed his former courtesy and became extremely cold to her. The girl was unwilling to accept it and kept entangling. Finally, the young nobleman gave her a note.

It was a notes full of black magic, and he said that as long as she learned the things on it, he could interact with it.

As long as he learns the above things, he will like me again.

Yes, that's it!

So the girl began to study hard, study day and night, stayed at home all day, no longer went out, and no longer participated in any social interaction.

The family members did not know what she was doing, but they could not ignore her abnormality. However, the father's strict control and the mother's soft voice could not change her entire body like a madman.

Once, my younger brother discovered her secret, but she threatened him with the same secret, and it was finally left alone.

Then the days gradually became routine, and as time passed, the girl became a well-educated and noble lady.

The warm and peaceful life is enjoyable, but the nagging of the family and the management of the elders made her increasingly impatient. Finally, after the coming-of-age ceremony, she decided to leave the family, regardless of the opposition of her parents and the reluctance of her relatives.

She left her hometown in Ron County, passed by the bustling Bonne County, walked through the cold Ginny County, and stopped for a long time on the border between the Yudulin Kingdom and the Chauvin Empire, and finally arrived at the edge of the kingdom. Outside the port city of Pita, near the Poison Dragon Strait, a small place called Canyon Town became a local baron.

I planned to learn all the things in the notes here, and then go to the capital to find the person I was thinking about day and night.

Who would have thought that one morning, she actually met her prince charming in the town!

She thought she was dreaming, but that was not a dream.

So, his old love with her rekindled

In the years that followed, she could see her lover every once in a while, so gradually, she had the idea of ​​returning to the capital and returning to the family. Even if her father urged her one after another, even if her mother died of illness, she did not set foot on the place where she grew up from childhood.

Should I resist or escape?

She didn't know some consequences, but she never slacked off and completed some of the things her lover had told her on time.

She adopted a little girl with long brown curly hair, the cute girl named Anne.

She liked her very much because looking at her seemed to see her as a child. However, the look of her lover's eyes at the girl made her very jealous, so she gradually became disgusted with her.

As time goes by, she is no longer the girl with a youthful atmosphere. Her smooth and elastic skin gradually dries as time goes by, and her once firm chest is also shriveled and sagging.

Her originally bright and green eyes were filled with haze without realizing it, with bags of eyes emerging, and her face was withered. Her years of exposure to dark forces made her look change, and she eventually became a gloomy woman with triangular eyes.

This also made her hate her adopted daughter more - look at how rejuvenated and enviable the little man who is about to bloom?

No wonder he valued her so much.

So she finally decided to change her body, and her goal was clear.

But the ceremony actually failed!

The girl is very special. She didn't even succeed in robbing her, and she couldn't return to her original body yet!

Watching my body be carried out, put on makeup, buried, rotten and maggots on the ground, revealing dead bones... This taste is really indescribable, but it is not the most unbearable.

Every time she is in the ghost stage for one day, her memories and emotions will lose part of her memory and emotions. The situation is really terrifying. She knows the secrets and knows what she will encounter in the future than anyone else.

So unwilling to give up, she decided to rely on what she learned to survive - she confined herself to a characteristic glass ball.

Unfortunately, the glass ball can only maintain her spirituality no longer spreads, but she cannot change her condition.

She wanted to take over the body of others, but this spell was not something that could be used casually, so she had to carefully arrange the rituals and casting materials - she could not do it at all in her current state, and the ritual rules also made her unable to use others.

Just as I felt helpless, the family suddenly sent a young man of the same bloodline!
To be continued...
