It is a beautiful sunny day, and the hot sunshine has slightly dispelled the coldness of winter.
Arnold was buried today. As he wished, he was buried next to the grave of his childhood friend, Akin.
Arnold had no wife, and naturally no children. So the only friends and relatives who saw him off were his brothers and sisters. Unknown to his relatives, Arnold was a powerful thief who roamed Orange, also known as the "Big Kurd".
If there were no accidents, no one would know this secret except Luther.
"Today is the end of a generation of thieves." In a villa outside Pompeii, Luther stood in a room and looked into the distance through the window.
Of course, you can't see very far. In front of the window is another villa.
This is a residential area.
But Luther still used this to see off the big thief Kurd, and felt a little sad in his heart. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Luther really didn't expect it.
The Kurdish thief was actually a man named Arnold who was born in Pompeii.
Luther's contact with Arnold did not last long, and his understanding of Arnold was nothing more than Arnold's words.
Although it was a short speech, Luther was able to analyze many clues from it
Arnold is the Kurdish thief.
At the beginning, Luther wanted to capture Kurd and obtain the Book of Sages, but he did not expect that the thief Kurd was originally from Pompeii. No wonder he was not found. It turned out that he was hiding under his nose.
Secondly, the Book of Sages was searched by a huge force, and Arnold died because of this.
In addition, there may be a deep intention hidden in Arnold's words.
Why did Arnold go all the way to send the Book of Sages to Pompeii? Probably because he hoped that Pompeii, who obtained the Book of Sages, would grow up to fight with that huge force.
I even hope that Pompeii can cleanse that huge force and avenge Arnold.
Because of the existence of the Book of Sages, it was impossible for Pompeii and that huge force to coexist.
What's even more troublesome is that Luther still doesn't know what that huge force is called and how much combat power it has.
Everything is unknown.
This book of sages was both an opportunity and a big trap for Luther.
"He made such a layout before he died. He is worthy of being the great thief Kurd." Luther was impressed. Then, Luther turned around and picked up a book on the desk.
A blue book, square and ordinary.
But no matter how hard Luther opened it, he could not open the book. When he called his name, the book still answered.
"Hey, Book of Sages." Luther tried again.
"What are you calling me for?" A face suddenly appeared on the front of the Book of Sages. This face was round and golden, with no eyebrows or nostrils, only two eyes and one mouth.
But he showed a very vivid expression of impatience, moving his mouth from time to time.
A book speaks.
Even though Luther had seen it many times, he still felt a little horrified at this moment. It was so damn magical. In fact, for a moment, Luther was a little surprised.
It's been a long time since he traveled to this world, but Luther still hasn't discovered that he has any golden fingers.
It’s said in many novels that as a time traveler, golden fingers are a perk.
Until now Luther has almost given up, okay, I am the poorest time traveler in the world, without any benefits at all.
Until this book of sages fell from the sky.
Books that talk?
Don't worry about other things first, let's see if this is our golden finger. But unfortunately, Luther still can't figure out this book.
This book will only talk about my uncle and my uncle.
Such as now.
Luther asked again, "Where are you from? What is your role?"
"Sages lead mankind out of darkness and shine for eternity." The Book of Sages suddenly said this sentence with a very serious expression.
From a literal sense, this book of sages should belong to a "sage", and this sage should have done something great and led to the awakening of mankind.
However, Luther read many books during this period, but there was no description of the sages and the book of sages, which is really puzzling.
Of course, it may also be that the existence of this sage is so far away that no one today remembers him, and there are no books recording this sage.
Just like in Chinese history, Sima Qian wrote historical records and only relied on speculation and imagination about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but he did not dare to comment on the more distant Classic of Mountains and Seas.
In the history of China, are there any monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
No one dares to say.
Just like the current sage, he is too long ago and too ancient.
The topic returns to the present.
What the hell are you.
This time Luther felt like he was about to fart, so he really asked this question.
"What the hell are you?"
The Book of Sages answered seriously: "Sages lead mankind out of darkness and shine for eternity."
Look, this book looks like it is intelligent, but in fact it is more like artificial intelligence, which only speaks according to the program.
Of course, Luther also speculated that such a situation might be caused by his failure to activate the Book of Sages.
A hot book of sages will cause the Pompeii family to face a potential threat from a huge force.
The end result is that Luther can't use it.
Cheating.
It's so cheating.
It's like sitting on a treasure mountain, only to find that there are no humans in the world anymore. A treasure mountain without humans is just a pile of shiny stones.
"What a huge loss. Should I return this Book of Sages to Baron Barton?" Such thoughts inevitably arose in Luther's mind.
But Luther was unwilling to give in.
"Try again." Luther gritted his teeth, brought a brazier, and lit the fire.
"Ah, tang, tang, tang, you want to burn me to death."
cried the Book of Sages.
Luther changed his approach, brought a basin of water, and put the Book of Sages in it.
"Wow, I feel so comfortable."
The Book of Sages shows a sign of enjoyment.
It is invulnerable to water and fire, and can speak different words and make different expressions. This Book of Sages does not look like artificial intelligence.
Luther finally gritted his teeth and used his killer weapon.
Recognize the Lord by shedding blood.
Following the routine in the novel, Luther placed the Book of Sages on the desk, then took out a knife and made a mark on his finger.
Not afraid of pain.
That time Luther faced a poisonous acid lizard and almost died on the spot without crying out in pain.
Did Luther just think it was a bit stupid to do this?
Recognize the Lord by shedding blood?
This scene is so damn bloody.
But Luther decided to be stupid because of the temptation of Goldfinger and the call of Goldfinger.
So Luther gritted his teeth and cut his middle finger open, squeezed out a few drops of bright red blood, and dropped it on the Book of Sages.
The few drops of blood that fell on the Book of Sages showed no change at first. Luther was a little disappointed, but then, as if they were living creatures, a few drops of blood flowed into the mouth of Sun Face.
Taiyang Lianba clicked his mouth, and the blood disappeared, as if he had eaten it.
Then the expression on Taiyang's face was extremely serious.
