"Don't worry, let's settle the current matter first." Garen looked at the Ninth Golden Ring aside, and the latter's expression suddenly tightened.
The Eighth Golden Ring sneered, rushed over, and pointed his index finger.
laugh!
"Ugh!"
The Ninth Golden Ring groaned, and a blood hole instantly appeared in his chest. With a bang, his whole body flew out of the handrail and fell into the dark staircase void in the middle.
"Let's go." The Eighth Golden Ring turned around and walked up without looking down. "We've got what we asked for. Once we hand it over, it won't be our business. The appraisal will be discussed later."
Garen looked down at the direction where the ninth golden ring fell. It was completely dark and he couldn't see anything. He quickly followed the eighth golden ring up.
"By the way, have you got another clue about the scent of the tea vine? Why haven't I seen the tea vine?" He recalled the weirdness of Yinsha Castle and asked suddenly.
"Tea branch vine? That thing is very effective in hallucinating and killing people. All our people have collected it back. The only thing left is the crazy woman who has some, but not much." The eighth golden ring said casually. "
Okay, I'll go up and lead the people to retreat first, and you can go up later to avoid suspicion from Mercury in the tower. If you join us and become the Ninth Golden Circle, this identity will not be bad as a cover."
"Okay." Garen nodded. He stood still and watched the eighth golden ring speed up and quickly disappear into the darkness.
He looked back at the darkness behind him. The stairs extended downward, as if they could lead all the way to the bottomless abyss. The entire staircase was eerily quiet.
"Why is the Ninth Golden Ring so eager to grab things?" He still had doubts in his heart, but unfortunately the Ninth Golden Ring was already dead. He fell from such a high place and was seriously injured, making it almost impossible to survive.
Shaking his head, Garen accelerated and ran upwards.
bottom of stairs
The Ninth Golden Ring lay on his back on the ground, with countless spikes from the ground mechanism piercing his body. He lay on his back with his eyes wide open, and was completely breathless. The blood slowly seeped into the black soil below and slowly solidified.
******************
In the afternoon, the Yinsha Castle glowed with a subtle red light under the faint sunset light. On the grass of the castle, a few sparse police officers raised their guns and inspected the bodies of their teammates. Each of them looked pale, and someone whispered.
Cursing, some even choked faintly.
The sergeant's arm was wrapped in white gauze, and he stood with Detective Tali with an ugly face. White Eagle and Black Panther were also there, and Grace stood with Gallon Cynthia. Cynthia's face was not too bad.
, the casualties among her men were not too many, and the losses were still within the bearable range.
Garen stood aside and watched the group of detectives in front of them discussing something in low voices. He didn't bother to listen. The biggest gain this time was to get on the line with Jin Huan. If everything goes well, at least he wouldn't have to worry about his family being threatened.
"My visit this time basically had no effect. Unfortunately..." Garen whispered, "Originally, I planned to come here and follow the detective to figure out the secret of Yinsha Castle and see if I could get some antiques or something.
Now it seems that I thought too much."
"Next time you run around, could you please tell me in advance?" Cynthia said angrily. Her face and body were dirty, but miraculously she was not injured.
He was not injured in the gunfight, which shows his superhuman combat qualities.
"I got it." Garen smiled and said no more, "Okay, it's time for us to go back. This situation is not the time for us to stay."
He walked directly towards the group of detectives in the tower in front.
After simply saying goodbye to a few people, Garen took Grace and Cynthia, and the rest of the people who came with him, to Konu Town.
Arriving back to Konu Town in the evening and before dark, Galen got into Grace's car and headed for the city.
Back in the city, life gradually returned to calm. Galen completely forgot about the Yinsha Castle. In addition to reading in the library every day, he also went to the old man to learn appraisal knowledge. At the same time, he was also waiting for the Manleyton Company.
The boss may find time to meet with him.
***************
A few weeks later...
In the library, surrounded by bookshelves, Garen was sitting in a small room, with his back against a red sofa, holding a magazine-sized black hard-cover book in his hand and flipping through it, looking attentive.
There was a cup of black coffee on the black table in front of him, and the coffee was completely out of steam.
"The Silent Book?" On the red sofa on the right side, a beautiful light-blond girl is sitting crookedly, with a black hairband in the middle of her long hair. The black silk skirt on her body tightly highlights her plump little breasts and slender breasts.
There are dark red flowers on the skirt, and the black and red colors give it an elegant and tranquil temperament. The length of the skirt also just covers the knees, not too long nor too short.
"Why do you suddenly want to look up information about this book?" The girl was Finestine, who had just returned from Manroland the day before yesterday, so she contacted Garen to come out for a get-together.
"I heard this name some time ago, and I feel very curious. It seems that this book is very mysterious." Gallon shrugged, and it was definitely impossible to tell the truth.
"Regarding this information, you really asked the right person." The girl's eyes curled up, showing that she was in a good mood, "The Silent Book is an ancient book that records mysterious knowledge in legend. The most mysterious and cruel civilization in ancient times——
The ancient Yinduo civilization is the birthplace of the Silent Book. Well... there are also a few occult books here that I want to read. I'll take you to look through them together." Finestine stood up and patted her butt.
, "Follow me."
Garen quickly put down his book and followed her out of the small room.
Finestine whispered a few words to a maid girl at the door of the room, who nodded and started to lead the way.
The three of them passed through several connected study rooms and soon walked in from a small door on the left. Inside the door was a wooden staircase leading down, which was a bit dark. There was a thick black blanket on the ground.
There was no sound at all.
Garen followed Finestine and the maid down three flights of stairs, opened several doors in succession, and unlocked a series of large locks. Finally, he arrived at a very spacious and deserted underground library.
The library is a rectangular hall, dark and dark. There are more than ten rows of black wooden bookshelves from left to right, but most of them are empty bookshelves. There is no one inside, and it is deserted.
After Finestine waved away the maid girl, she happily led Garen towards the bookshelf at the right end.
"The books here are all old ancient books, and some of them are about occult science, but you need to find them yourself."
Garen nodded and sniffed. There was a faint musty smell in the air.
The two of them rolled up their sleeves without saying a word and started looking through ancient books.
There were very few books on the bookshelf, and even if they were there, they had accumulated a lot of dust. When they were taken down, they would bring out a large pile of white ash, which was very choking. Finestine did not care at all, and she and Galen were full of interest.
Let’s start looking for occult books together.
They rummaged through the bookshelf on the right and found the bookshelf on the left. The two of them found a few occult books, but at first glance they were just nonsense. The contents above were just enough to be used as storybooks for children.
"Many of the books here are the property left by my friend's ancestors. He sorted out most of them, and there are still many left that have not been sorted out. Later, due to family reasons, these books were not all sorted out, and they were almost destroyed.
I forgot it here. If you hadn't asked me about it today, I might not have remembered this place. Ahem..." Finestine whispered. She pulled out a gray book and patted the dust on it vigorously.
, a puff of white ash suddenly spread out, and the girl was choked and coughed repeatedly.
"Don't be anxious, just look for it slowly." Garen smiled, showing no sign of impatience.
The firelight on the wall danced slowly, and time passed minute by second in the dim hall.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a muffled sound came from the left corner.
A thick cloud of dust rose high.
"Cough...cough...cough...I'm so choked! Why did it all fall down?" Finestine complained as she walked out from the bookshelf, her whole body covered in gray, and her black silk skirt was no longer pure black.
, the surface was completely covered with a layer of white ash, making it look very miserable.
"Huh?" Garen suddenly let out a whisper, "There is actually a book here." He was standing not far from the girl. After the bookshelf was knocked down, he suddenly saw a book rolling down from the top of the bookshelf.
Book. I quickly walked over and picked it up.
Gently pat the dust on the book. The book is all black, with a gold necklace on the cover and the author's name below: Philip Jeffers.
Garen opened it gently, and the pages of the book were light yellow. It could be seen that it was originally supposed to be white, but it took too long and turned into light yellow.
There is a sentence recorded on the first page.
'Dedicated to the scholar who has spent his life in pursuit of arcane knowledge.'
Turning to the second page, there is a concise table of contents. There are only three sections: Nightmare, White, and Ritual.
Each small section is divided into many detailed labels, followed by page numbers.
"What is this?" Finestine came over and asked, "Gold necklace? Why doesn't this book have a title?"
"No title?" Garen was stunned. "There really is no title."
"There are two situations like this. One is that this is a private book and is not managed by the National Bibliography Bureau. Not writing the title is a way to avoid it. Such a book will be considered to be a handwritten diary or something like that.
"Finestine is well-informed and explained, "And the other kind." When she mentioned this kind, her face became serious.
"The other type is the so-called banned books. They contain taboo content, and not writing the title is also to avoid the bibliographic bureau. This is because books of this type have been banned by the bibliographic bureau. Most of these books are only signed by the author."
"Forbidden book?" Garen suddenly became interested and flipped through it at will. The whole book was filled with incomprehensible precise pictures and strangely shaped words.
"Come on, let's go over there and sit down and read. This book must be a banned book! I haven't seen a real banned book." Finestine also became more interested.
The two came to a mahogany table in the library, pulled out the chairs, wiped them clean, and then sat down. The lamp on the table had been lit by the maid, and the light was a little dim, but it did not affect reading.
