After Butler Tang En left, John took the lantern left by the butler and looked through the secret room, which was only less than ten square meters.
What John said just now in the earl's bedroom was actually to delay the treatment time, draw out the mastermind behind it, and investigate the source of the plague. On the other hand, it was to explore the natural power of this world.
Because Swick's diary mentioned that some nobles in this world seem to have inherited the power of nature, and their ancestors of the Swick family once served a high-ranking noble with magical abilities.
Unfortunately, the other family had already been destroyed in the war, and during the years when young Swick was studying with Dr. William, he also heard some strange theories from the doctor.
For example, the doctor once again accidentally discovered that a tree on the mountain that was killed by lightning would sprout new shoots with amazing vitality from the dark stumps, and soon grow into a new big tree.
So I thought about whether we could use the power of thunder and lightning to give new life to corpses, so that we could bring the dead back to life or even create life.
Before Chad Swick left, Dr. William had already begun experiments on the corpses of cats and dogs.
I don't know if there will be any results.
But judging from the fact that Dr. William passed away a few years ago and there is no news, it can be seen that the experiment of that doctor must have failed.
However, as one of the three largest noble families in the north, Swick believed that the Burns family must have inherited Cao's natural power. Even if no one mastered that power, there would still be related secret books.
Therefore, he also wanted to enter the library of the Earl's Mansion for a look, which was usually impossible.
Now John has such an opportunity.
There are not many books in the secret room, only two wooden boxes the size of suitcases, and the rest are items belonging to the ancestors of the Burns family placed on wooden shelves.
John turned on his spiritual vision and took a glance, and there were already seven or eight conspicuous spiritual lights in his field of vision.
However, he has put all these things behind, and the most important thing now is to search for Fan's secrets.
After all, in the Taoist teachings he had come across in his previous life, although there were many heretical things, there were only a few that were truly complete, and the path of the Sword Immortal he had chosen before also lacked fundamental Qi refining methods.
Therefore, relying on the main world and the ordinary ways of this world to make amends is one of the best options.
After all, there are ancient heroes like "Sword Master" in the main world. Although the path seems to be a little different from that of the sword master flying with the sword, there is also a lot to learn from.
Legend has it that the Sword Master practices the power called "Qi" that comes from the Eastern Continent. Although I don't know what the difference is from the Qi refining of the Xuanmen Immortal Way, I can tell from the name that it is probably compatible with the Sword Immortal Way.
Very high.
Soon John became immersed in the Burns family.
In fact, these secret books do not contain much text, and the most is only more than 10,000 words.
After all, the characters in ancient books are often very concise. This is affected by the area and value of the paper. There is also a saying that the ancients used characters created by gods. Each character contains the truth of the world. Every word
It can explain many meanings, so the more ancient the writing, the rarer it is, and the closer it is to modern simplified writing, the more words there are.
Fortunately, some of the languages that the ancient John couldn't figure out had transcripts that members of the Burns family had asked people to translate. Otherwise, John, who didn't understand the ancient characters of this world, would have been helpless. He couldn't have tied up a few scholars here.
Can you translate it for him?
That would be too late in time.
Although he didn't know how long this plane expedition mission would last, John had a vague foreknowledge in his heart that this world might not allow outsiders like them to stay for too long.
Therefore, he took the time to memorize the contents of these secret books. Only when he found the parts that interested him, he would study them in detail for a while.
Soon the candle in the lantern had burned out.
Realizing that his vision had darkened, John stopped and rubbed his achy eyes, letting the tear glands secrete liquid to moisten the dry eyeballs.
"Is it that late already?"
John stood up and put down the half-read secret book with some reluctance.
This is a secret book left by an ancestor of the Burns family who followed the path of knight training. It describes in detail the process of his training from entry to becoming a formal knight.
John was very interested in this, but seeing that it was already so late, he still had to stay mentally to deal with possible black hands, so he could only temporarily leave the secret room, re-seal the secret room, and then walked out of the library door, only to see outside the door
There are already two male servants waiting here.
John knew that this was probably arranged by Butler Tang En, firstly to guard the door and prevent others from disturbing John's enlightenment, and secondly because he was afraid that someone would know the family's core secrets.
"Dr. Swick, the butler has prepared dinner. Please come with me."
One servant led John down, while the other continued to guard here.
John went down to the castle's dining room and did not choose a formal dining table that could accommodate many people to dine together. Instead, he chose a small round table near the window that resembled a Brook style afternoon tea and had his lunch.
While eating, my mind doesn't stop thinking.
After eating, I took a sip of the after-dinner drink similar to lemon tea given by the female messenger while sorting out the harvest of the whole day.
Most of the secret books read in the secret room are related to knight training.
"It can be said that knights are the mainstream of all professions in this world. The Burns family is a typical knight family, or many nobles are inherited knight families."
"The path of knights here is divided into two types. One is the orthodox knight, which is the kind that reaches the limit of the human body through physical exercise, and then relies on breathing methods and some secret medicine to activate the source of life of the human body, and finally breaks through and becomes a mortal.
The other is called the blood knight, which is a knight whose ancestors have the blood of some ancient heroes or powerful professionals, or even various monsters and monsters."
"This type of person is born with various talents that ordinary humans do not possess. They are like the special powers in movies and TV shows in previous lives. The success rate of awakening is also higher than that of orthodox knights. However, the flaw is that they are easily affected by the power in their blood and their character will change.
Change, and the power originates from the bloodline and is also controlled by the bloodline. Generally, it is impossible to reach the level of a strong person like the bloodline source, let alone break through upward."
"According to the analysis of the big guys in the forum, this kind of person with natural blood is the spiritual root and immortal bone that the Xuanmen cultivation world has spoken about since ancient times. After all, with the power of bloodline of high-level life, it is far easier to embark on the path of cultivation than
It’s much more convenient and easier for ordinary mortals.”
However, John knew that he would not consider this bloodline knight route for the time being, because he did not know whether he would have the blood of any mortal creature. He might not have any, or it might be deeply hidden, which was full of uncertainty.
.
Therefore, John feels that the orthodox knight's route is more suitable for him, not to mention that both orthodox knights and bloodline knights are basically the same in basic training.
