After picking up the magic book, Cyril first took it in her hand and touched the cover.
It feels really bad...
She didn't seem to feel anything, so she tapped the book again.
The grimoire was quiet and nothing changed.
There is no response when I touch it, and there is no response when I knock it.
"Tsk." Cyril smacked her lips, a little unwillingly.
Then she boldly lifted up the spine of the book, turned the pages down and shook them again, but it was still the same, without any change.
Looking at Cyril's actions, Karl's face became increasingly ugly.
But she was still playing with the magic book at the moment, and she didn't even notice Karl's appearance.
After shaking it hard again, Cyril raised the grimoire in front of her face as if giving up, stretched out her nose and smelled it.
Seeing Ceryl like this, Karl couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Are you still going to eat it to taste it?"
Hearing Karl's curse, Cyril looked at him with wide eyes, and closed her mouth that she had just opened.
After blinking for a while, she asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say there was something hidden in this book?"
"ha?"
"I told you to read what this book is about!"
She is not on the same thinking circuit as herself when it comes to feelings.
"Didn't you even open it and take a look?" Cyril pointed at the magic book carefully, obviously not expecting Karl to be so cautious.
"How do I know if there are any traps on this thing?"
Karl replied to her angrily.
"That's true." Cyril nodded, then opened the magic book without saying anything, and started reading page by page.
Seeing this, Karl didn't know what to say, so he walked to the bed and sat down, waiting for her result.
After Cyril finished flipping through the book, she immediately closed the magic book and said to Karl solemnly.
"You did the right thing. If you read this, you will be in big trouble."
"What's the trap in this book?"
Ceryl stretched out her finger and shook it, indicating that Karl had guessed wrong.
"There are no traps. The book records a very detailed system of necromancers, basically including all necromantic spells from basic to advanced."
"Then why is it right that I don't watch it?"
"After seeing this thing, it will leave a very deep imprint on your mind, and the future path will be forcibly fixed by it."
"Can't I just watch it without using it?"
In response to Karl's question, Cyril smiled and shook her head, as if she had experienced it.
"The temptation of power is hard to resist."
"As long as you use necromancy, the talismans in your body will begin to adapt to the magical structure of necromancy."
"Then it's okay if I used the Phantom Knife before?" Karl was very puzzled. Could it be that there is some secret in it?
Cyril rolled her eyes at him, and then explained: "What are you thinking about? Isn't the magic power in your body now the magic power of the night blade?"
"The [Blade Talisman] made for you was chosen precisely because you have mastered the skills of the Phantom Knife."
Karl was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the effectiveness of the [Blade Talisman], which indeed supports hand-to-hand combat.
"A person's magic power can have up to two characteristics at the same time. With the ability of Night Blade, plus the Necromancer, your future path can no longer be changed."
This person’s purpose is to fix his future path?
No other intentions?
"What good will this do to him?"
Leaving the magic book on the bed, Cyril crossed her arms and began to give Karl instructions.
"After limiting your path, he will know all your abilities from now on. Can you guess the consequences of this?"
I see!
As long as you accept the temptation, whatever skills you have are within that person's control.
Going against him in the future will be like showing your trump card to others. Whether it is targeted tactics or traps, it will be greatly detrimental to Karl.
"What else can you see?"
After thinking about this, Karl also knew that his best choice now was not to touch this thing, but he was still a little curious, wondering if Seryl could give him any other surprises.
"Good question!" Ceryl hugged Karl from her side with one hand and dangled her other hand in front of him.
"You learned the Phantom Knife from a magic book before, and now you see this necromancy magic book. What can you think of?"
Necromancer...
Phantom Knife...
Night Blade...
A person's magic power can have up to two characteristics at the same time!
I see!
"The mastermind's profession is Night Blade and Necromancer, and we have mastered his abilities!"
"That's right." Ceryl hugged Karl happily.
"These two kinds of magic are mixed together, and the final advancement is something called the Eidolon Lord."
Lord of Eidolon sounds very powerful.
"And let me tell you, I also know the final advancement ceremony of this profession." Cyril only said half of the words, deliberately leading Karl to ask questions.
"What is it?"
At this time, Karl's curiosity was as high as ever. This was the first time that he confirmed the true situation of the enemy!
"Regarding the advancement ceremony of the Night Spirit Lord, after preparing the materials, you must sacrifice six of your subordinate professions within a year, that is, the Night Blade and the Necromancer."
"Then this ceremony must be held continuously for six years, and a total of 36 people must be sacrificed to succeed."
Now it all makes sense!
The reason why he encounters this kind of magic book Carl so frequently is because this guy wants to advance, so he is making the sacrifices he needs!
"By the way, Cyril, who was the original owner of the magic book you lodged in before?"
Karl suddenly remembered that night in the company. At that time, he had never seen magic book owners like Harvey and Marianne!
"The original owner was your editor-in-chief." Cyril shook her head regretfully.
"That night, he overestimated his capabilities and challenged the Necromancer's highest-level ghost summoning. As a result, the spell backfired and he died tragically on the spot."
"It was only after he died that I had the opportunity to directly swallow the broken ghost and then inhabit it in the magic book."
Saying this, Cyril is also a little timid.
"I didn't expect that guy was actually a sacrifice. I was so anxious that I didn't notice it."
Marianne, editor-in-chief, Harvey. That’s already three sacrifices.
"Based on what I've experienced, he's still missing at most three sacrifices this year. If you want to find this guy out, you have to move fast!"
Karl was a little worried. If he was a step too late, it would be very difficult to catch him if he collected enough sacrifices this year.
And I don’t know how many years this year is for his ceremony.
"I can only go on and watch this."
Ceryl advised.
"Right."
She thought of something and suddenly clapped her palms.
