"The Dark Book is of great importance, but for now, the number of demons is unknown, and our mages are obviously short of manpower. It is difficult to compete with those demons, so please help Mr. Erwin do this."
Wang, who was standing next to Leo and pretending to drive Leo away, suddenly became extremely ugly.
He couldn't help but whispered: "Honorable Sir, he is just an ordinary person, how can he help us?"
Next to him, Master Hamil knew a little about Leo's good qualities. He was older and more stable than Wang.
At this time, he thought about Gu Yi's words, quietly pulled the stunned Wang, and shook his head gently.
Mage Casillas next to him couldn't figure out the situation and looked like he was taking advantage of others.
Leo neither rejected Gu Yi nor agreed directly.
He combined the known information in his mind and was thinking quickly.
When the ancient mage cured him of the curse and checked his mechanical strength, he didn't look injured at all. But why did Casillas cough and become unsteady after she treated his injuries?
I feel like I'm terminally ill...
Could it be said that the demonic aura is very difficult to dispel, even harder than cutting off a large ball of mechanical force?
Then my golden sacred mechanical power is too shameless!
Is the devil really that powerful? What is the Dark Book?
After thinking about it randomly, Leo finally came to the conclusion: there must be something fishy about this matter!
It would be inappropriate to hide the matter when talking to Gu Yi, so Leo asked bluntly:
"Venerable Ancient One, I want to help, but I am completely confused about what is happening now, and I have never heard of things like demons and dark divine books.
Can you tell me what happened? Let me prepare in advance before the battle."
Gu Yi smiled, and she began to tell the story from a few days ago:
"About two weeks ago, people and animals died one after another in a remote mountain village in Nepal near the Himalayas.
The first person to die was an old monk who lived in a small temple in the mountains behind that village. In the next two days, the other three monks in the small temple also died one after another."
Gu Yi's tone began to become lower,
"After all the people in the temple died, the death spread to the village.
Three days later, a total of 15 people died in the village, including men and women, old and young, and countless poultry and livestock died. However, the local police searched for three days and found no useful information. Even the police stationed at night
Three police officers died."
"Panic began to ferment in the village."
"In the next two days, hundreds of people in the village ran away. They didn't dare to go back to their homes, and even ran as far as they could. And the police only dared to investigate during the day, because no one died during the day.
of."
"It sounds creepy, a bit like a ghost story made up by people." Leo interjected, "What were the circumstances of those people's deaths like?"
"Don't interrupt the Ancient One." Wang glared at Leo.
Leo rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Gu Yi didn't pay attention to Wang, but answered Leo's question seriously,
"The dead people had no external injuries and looked like they were scared to death. This is the source of panic. People are most likely to be afraid when facing the unknown."
Ancient One continued,
"After another two days, people in that village fled further and further away, and some even came to Kathmandu to seek refuge with relatives.
When people have fear, they naturally have to pray to gods and worship Buddha. To be honest with Mr. Erwin, many high-level religious leaders in Kathmandu have more or less contact with our master, so the news has reached us."
"So I took people to the village and to the small temple where death first began."
"So, where did you find the devil?" Leo made a reasonable guess.
Wang, who was standing by, could hardly bear it any longer, but was stopped by Hamil in advance.
The Ancient One replied: "Exactly, and there are many."
"But it's not scary to find demons. What's important is how and why those demons came."
Leo responded quickly: "So you found the Book of Darkness near that village, and when you were fighting the devil to snatch the Book of Darkness, you were seriously injured?!"
Especially in the last sentence, Leo slightly emphasized his tone, as if he was questioning.
There was no special expression on Gu Yi's face, and he replied briefly and forcefully: "Yes."
Leo already had some conjectures and more doubts in his mind.
He said: "About demons, I can still make some guesses and fantasies based on myths and stories. But this dark book, what is it? Can you introduce it to me?"
"The Dark God Book is an ancient and evil book. It was made by Hades, a powerful demon, Sithorn. It records all the evil spells and sinful deeds he mastered, so the Dark God Book is also
It's called the Sithorne Scroll.
It is said that the power recorded in the Book of Darkness is enough to turn an ordinary person into a god-like figure, so there are many people in the universe who have been looking for him. Unexpectedly, it is actually on the earth."
Leo obviously didn't believe Gu Yi's lies. He pointed to a bookshelf with a chain and asked:
"Then since you got the Book of Darkness, why didn't you become a god by reading it? Instead, you locked it on that bookshelf and was finally taken away by the devil?"
Gu Yi suddenly became serious, stared at Li Ao and said:
"Do you believe the lies told by a demon? Any power that can rival the gods is a lie.
As long as it is a lawful intelligent creature that has read the Book of Darkness, its soul will gradually degenerate, and will eventually be collected by Sithorn and become his source of power, contributing to his return to this universe."
Of course, Leo knew that talking about becoming a god through reading was nonsense. He just asked casually to find out information.
Sure enough, Gu Yi leaked a lot of useful information. So Leo, who had tasted the benefits, asked again:
"Then the question comes, or it's still the same question. After you got the Dark Book, why didn't you destroy it instead of locking it up, knowing that it was so harmful and had the power to lead people to corruption?"
"I can't do it."
Gu Yi gave a reason that sounded like nonsense at first, but turned out to be very reasonable when you think about it carefully.
"Although the book is made of ordinary parchment, it has become indestructible after Sithorn's evil spell. Even if I cut it with the space crack of the portal, it cannot be destroyed."
This answer is very unscientific, but it is magical and has no flaws.
I don’t know why such a magical thing exists in a Marvel universe with a science fiction theme.
That’s why Leo always felt that it was stupid for him to travel to the Marvel Universe!
Obviously speaking from the rules of physics, Leo is now wearing a vibranium armor. His speed exceeds the speed of sound, his power can reach dozens of tons, and he can also fire cannons from a distance, making him almost invincible.
It stands to reason that, let alone the earth, it can walk sideways in the universe with a slight detour.
But God knows when a magical enemy will suddenly appear, and an elusive spell or magical spell can push Leo to the point where he is facing a narrow escape.
It seems that if you want to stay in the Marvel Universe safely, you have to either be cowardly and rely on luck, or you must be omniscient and omnipotent and rely on strength!
Ignore this fucking universe for now, because life is not only about the distance, but also about what is in front of you.
So Leo thought for a moment and asked again:
"So, if I help you recapture the Dark God Book, what do you want to do with it, Lord Ancient One?"
Gu Yi did not answer directly, but asked with a smile:
"Mr. Erwin, do you want it?"
"What the hell do I need it for? Could it be that I carry it on my back as a level 3 armor with infinite durability??"
Gu Yi didn't know what Leo was talking about, but she could still understand the meaning of Leo's words, as long as Leo didn't want to pry into the dark book.
Gu Yi continued confidently:
"If I get the Dark God Book back, I have my own way to deal with it, and it is a very safe way. Unless the gods fall, there will never be a chance that the Dark God Book will be released."
