Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 609: These evil tomes are now mine! (5500, second update)
【What happened? 】
In the little garden, Adalbert just reached out his hand, trying to help the Knight of the Valley who suddenly knelt on the ground.
But the blue light in the black-haired knight's eyes receded, he stood up and smiled weakly: "It's nothing."
"It's just... a taste of helplessness."
His gaze became firm: "But it's okay, I already know a lot... This time, I will definitely do better."
[………]
Adbert also sighed sadly. He thought that Ian was blaming himself for the Avak laboratory and the entire Avak community, so he also felt a little sad.
He slightly overestimated Ian's morality.
Ian would indeed be angry at the tragic experiences of those ordinary people, and even fight, but the matter has come to this point, even if he is really sad, he will not show it so exaggeratedly.
But Ian will not deliberately explain this misunderstanding. Adalbert is indeed a good researcher, and it is not a bad thing to gain some favorability.
At this moment, the Dead River Armed Forces who had been quietly on the ground suddenly let out a low mechanical hum.
Boom, the ferocious armor suddenly shrank, then swelled, turning into a cloud of black mist, with blood and silver rays of light turning into lines and lines, forming inscriptions one after another, and then moving towards Ian. .
Ian didn't see any danger—in fact, he had already foreseen it with the silver chip when he touched the Dead River Armed Forces.
So, he just stood up and waited for all the clouds and lines to shrink, shrinking around his waist.
It turns into an inconspicuous black belt.
[Dead River armed? ! Is miniaturization portable? 】
Adbert opened his eyes wide, he was very surprised: [This form... the people of Flameland didn't design this structure! 】
"It was done by Grand Duke Thorin. He seems to know the research of Flaming Land like the back of his hand."
Ian caressed the black belt around his waist. He frowned slightly, but he still didn't say anything: "It is indeed useful. Even if it doesn't burn the soul, it can be said to be a very good basic ether weapon--I can It designed my own ether armament."
[Dead River Armed Forces (Basic Optimization)]
[Third energy level, spiritual entity, authority, edible]
[The final result created by the technology of Feiyandi's comprehensive gnosis institute and Avak central laboratory, the actual carrier of the river of death for all living beings, has once carried the resentment of souls of millions of people, and was accepted by the first The four-level powerhouse has corrected several mistakes, omissions and weaknesses, and has been strengthened to a certain extent]
【The soul can be used as fuel to fill it up, and the 'Dead River Rebirth' and 'Soul Melting Power' can be activated. Reminder: In non-emergency situations, it is extremely not recommended to use the souls of intelligent creatures as fuel or as materials for other abilities]
[Warning: The more times you use it, the more likely the user will be assimilated by the resentment of the dead soul]
[Contains source quality: 10595.1267 phase units]
[...]
This is a very good third-level etheric weapon.
Judging from the detailed data, its strength has even reached the fourth energy level. It is the same as the Abyss Iron Sword in Ian's hand. bring skills.
But its superior basic quality is its biggest advantage. As long as it is slightly improved, more inscriptions are inscribed, or its source quality psionic structure is optimized, it will be a real magic weapon.
"Interesting, this ectoplasmic structure... It turns out that the Dead River Armor is not a biological etheric colony in the general sense, but a psychic etheric colony that uses a material from a virtual creature, which can also be called a soul. Armed..."
Relying on his alchemy skills, familiarity with the Void Realm, and the help of a little silver chip, Ian quickly understood the essence of Dead River Armed Forces.
Although the more detailed aspects need to wait until returning to the imperial capital with the help of laboratory equipment, but now that I have confidence, Ian can book some auxiliary books in advance, and then study while studying, and then let Adeb Special help with tutoring, you should be able to master this knowledge soon.
[Are you going to use it? 】
Adbert stared at Ian's waist with a complicated face. The Dead River Armament was the vicious thing he wanted to destroy. Grand Duke Sorin's research institute is to annihilate this kind of armed force that blasphemes the soul and life.
But now it seems that the Knights of the Valley do not intend to do this - and as the main force in the battle against Viscount Avak, he is not qualified to ask the Knights of the Valley to destroy his spoils.
Not to mention, the other party is also the disciple of the legendary first knight... If he is the successor of the first knight, then perhaps, he can still trust the morality of the knight of the valley?
Thinking of this, Adbert couldn't help but smile.
Does this still need to be doubted?
He saw with his own eyes that the other party was beheading Viscount Avak in a row with righteous anger, but there was no need to doubt this aspect.
So, before Ian spoke, he was relieved.
And Ian will naturally explain: "The ability of the Dead River Armor is indeed vicious, and I will not use it-but the technology contained in it can be disassembled, but it can be used in many ways."
"No matter what kind of technology development is carried out in the future, it is necessary to accumulate a large amount of technology as a 'material reserve'. Otherwise, sometimes when starting a new project, everything needs to be developed from scratch. Terrible."
[Indeed! 】
Adbert felt the same way, and then he realized: [Wait, this tone... You are also a researcher, Knight of the Valley? ! 】
The dead king looked at the black-haired knight in surprise, and Ian turned his face to look at him, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Yes. And there is a big laboratory in the capital city... well, Having said that, would you like to follow me?"
"Although Grand Duke Sorin said he was dismissing you, he actually wanted me to find a place for you."
[I...]
Adbert was at a loss. He thought he would die at the hands of Viscount Avak, or be executed by Grand Duke Thorin—he had already prepared himself to die here by choosing to become the king of death. I thought that I could survive.
Even, from the very beginning, Grand Duke Thorin didn't want to punish him.
He naturally wanted to agree to the invitation of the Knight of the Glen, but Adbert was a little worried.
Worried about his identity as the dead king, he might cause trouble for the Knights of the Valley.
——No matter how ignorant he is, he still knows that the first knight is currently on the run, and his disciple must also conceal his identity.
But that was too long ago. Today, not many people remember the first knight's arrest warrant, but if it is revealed that he still has a disciple, then countless flies will definitely rush to him.
And myself... is the most eye-catching dead king in the recent period.
In the past, it would only make the Knights of the Valley, which is still considered safe, more dangerous, right?
"Don't worry too much."
Ian naturally sensed that Adalbert's worries were afraid of affecting him. While he felt funny in his heart, he couldn't help feeling that there are so few good people in this world.
People like Yadbert are really rare creatures.
"If you really plan to join—I mean, join my team, then maybe I will tell you my true identity...and I can also provide you with shelter in my territory."
After thinking about it, Ian felt that if he really wanted the other party to join him, he still had to tell some real information: "I will soon become a lord, and I also have a team outside... Well, if you are willing to pretend In a moment, I can arrange for the Huaiguang Rescue Team to take you out."
"Trust me... Even if you don't believe in my morality, you have to believe that your own technical ability is worthy of attention and worth my risk."
【...Then please】
Adelbert was silent for a while, and said to Ian gratefully.
If he could choose, he certainly didn't want to die, and he didn't want to be wanted.
I have to say that before Ian fought Viscount Avak, there was a sentence that touched his heart very much.
That is 'mother'.
With a moment of enthusiasm, he became the dead king, so he naturally would not regret this choice... But now that the matter is over, he must still hope that he can bring a better life to his mother.
In addition, Ian's true identity also made him very curious-who is the Knight of the Valley? He could actually be a lord within the empire?
In addition, he even has a big laboratory in the capital?
Oh my god, the disciple of the first knight, the disciple of the most wanted criminal in the empire... there is actually a big laboratory in the capital? !
——The most dangerous place is the safest place, the words of the sages are true!
Curiosity in Adalbert's heart was almost full. If it wasn't for the fact that the current situation was not suitable for asking these things, he must have grabbed Ian to ask for details.
But until now...
It is indeed time to leave.
Ian got up and walked in front, while Adbert followed behind him.
They walked towards the crumbling subspace labyrinth choice entrance together, preparing to leave this land soaked in hatred and mourning, blood, tears and despair.
Although Yadbert is the master of the subspace, Ian's familiarity with the entrance and exit is almost like the real master.
After all, the silver chip has already recorded a set of maps, and the predictive vision can also distinguish the way forward, which is not an exaggeration.
"Right."
In the middle of the walk, Ian suddenly thought of something. He turned his head and asked the silent Adbert along the way: "I remember...you said that you applied for some psychic tomes to assist you in your research Related topics?"
"And Grand Duke Thorin prepared all those books for you?"
【Ah, yes】
Adelbert raised his head. He didn't realize what Ian said at first, but soon, he nodded and looked in a direction of the subspace labyrinth:【I remember it seems to be placed in the Dean The chambers... are all ancient books with evil power, let them follow this maze...]
Before Adalbert finished speaking, Ian turned his head and accelerated towards the dean's room.
——Die with the maze?
What a joke!
This kind of ancient books containing 'evil power' are all treasures that cannot be copied!
And there is a high probability that Dragon Worship entrusts himself...
Oh, it seems that they just entrusted themselves to find out where the Book of Silver Glory is? It seems that there is no need to take it back.
But it doesn't matter, Ian himself wants to see what is so special about the power in the Book of Silver Glory.
In short, with Adbert's slightly depressed expression on his face, Ian quickly arrived at the dean's room.
The courtyard where the dean's room is located is raining blood sparsely. Although Ian doesn't know how it is raining indoors, it is still raining blood, but this must be the feedback of the resentment of the virtual world—as this nightmare experiment The presiding place of the chamber, the power of the dead will definitely gather here.
In the darkness, the Knight of the Valley walked straight all the way, he cut open the door of the dean's room with a sword, and his eyes directly locked on the various classics in blue, purple and green.
"Book of Silver Brilliance", "Sacrifice of Burning Abyss", "Chaos Buster" and "Twilight Dark Code"... all kinds of precious books that contain special spiritual powers, and the mere existence itself is extremely special, are placed in the courtyard. On the bookshelf to the left of the desk in the long room.
Ian stepped forward, and he packed all the books away without hesitation—he even carried a large bag that looked very light, and it was obvious that it was used to store trophies.
[Actually, if you want to know the knowledge in these books, just ask me, I have written them down...]
Adelbert followed behind, murmuring in a low voice that he would not stop Ian's actions, but he still hoped that these tomes that indeed contained all kinds of evil knowledge and psychic powers would not be born again.
The Soul Melting and Resurrection of the Dead River Armed Forces are both powerful abilities combined with the skills in these books, which made him instinctively reject them.
"Then your memory is really good."
Ian praised sincerely, but his hands kept moving, and he threw all his trophies into his pockets for preservation: "But what I need is these 'evil' powers. Whether it is research or long-term knowledge , are of great use to me.”
"Don't worry, I'm the disciple of the most wanted man in the empire. I'm not a good person. Stealing the books of the empire is the right thing to do. Don't feel uneasy about me."
—I'm not bothered by that!
Adelbert wanted to complain, but in the end he didn't say anything... He felt that the character of the Knight of the Valley was probably much more active than he had imagined.
Of course. Now that Ian is ready to reveal his identity as "Ian" to Adalbert, he will naturally not overdo the indifferent character of Mahdi, the knight of the valley.
"Get ready to go."
After collecting all the scattered things in the dean's room, whether they were books or not, Ian hung the pocket on his waist contentedly - a few books plus some special spiritual objects, It's about the size of an ordinary schoolbag.
Shuangdie poked her head out of her pocket, and looked curiously at her 'new neighbor' - she felt a strange wave of psionic energy... There was even a wave similar to a goblin?
This is not an illusion.
Because among the precious books stolen from the Great Library of the Imperial Capital by the School of the Intellect, there is a copy of "Joyful Paradise". Distribute a self-introduction book to each country.
Because there was a direct fight later, everyone knew about goblins very well, so there were no more prints, and it is now an out-of-print collection.
[Hey, this is a fairy...]
Although he didn't ask much, Adbert became even more curious about Ian's identity - who is it that there is a laboratory in the imperial capital, and there are goblins following him?
If he had read more news from the imperial capital, or learned about alchemy publications during the recent period, he might be able to know Ian's true identity by now, adding another name to the list of "those who see through Ian's vest" .
It's a pity that Yadbert is relatively shy on weekdays, and he has been doing closed research recently, so naturally he can't see it.
So, that's it.
The two dead kings, Ian and Yadbert, walked all the way to the exit of the subspace maze where there was no human voice.
There are no phantoms, no magical beasts, no surviving researchers—except for Yadbert himself, everyone in the entire Avak central laboratory is dead, and all of them have become ghosts, and they were killed by Grand Duke Thorin. take away.
As they moved, box gardens collapsed one after another, subspace fragments shattered one after another, because this silent abyss, the special environment created by the fallen void fragments, was originally based on the resentment of the souls.
When Grand Duke Sorin took away the souls of millions of people, the entire subspace labyrinth was already crumbling, and it was barely maintained because of the existence of the two dead kings, Ian and Yadbert.
They came to the gate.
Buzzing... At this moment, I can already see that the junction between the real world and the subspace is like a foggy door. Looking at the real world through it is like looking at a dream.
Or a nightmare.
But now...
"The nightmare is over."
Ian turned his head sideways, and said to the young researcher who was silently pressing his eyes, as if he wanted to cry, but there were no tears, and his whole body was trembling: "Although it is not a perfect ending, at least it is worse than the worst." The ending is better.”
"Adbert, I know, you didn't even think about surviving in the first place, you think all this research comes from you, you think that all the deaths of millions of people in Avak are all from you This is the case with both the dead king and the dead river.”
"You've been talking to me because you've been shaken, you've been in pain, you can't stand the fear. You feel unworthy of life compared to those who died and suffered because of you Go down. But you survived, and your conscience is condemning you."
"But even if that's the case, so what?"
Ian's voice is almost indifferent and ruthless, but it is exactly the kind of calm that Adalbert needs: "If you die, then everything is really meaningless."
"Don't be too scared, you can still stand in the sun, and you can use your intelligence to change the world. You have the qualifications."
The original majestic and terrifying dead king is like a child who has not yet grown up - he was originally a boy in his early twenties, and he has not experienced much cruelty in the world. He was favored by Duke Sorin when he was young. Sent into the ivory tower, concentrate on researching the technology you like.
He is smart, optimistic, talented, and has a sense of justice. Even if he is not kidding, he is also a good person with normal moral values.
Such a person should have a bright future, and he was involved in the Avakland incident... It can only show that Terra and this world are rotten.
【I understand...】
Responding to Ian's words, Adbert said softly, he was a little choked up: [I just... thought of my mother... Am I worthy of my mother's teaching? Am I really who my mom wants me to be? 】
"Your mother needs to know that you can have the achievement and determination you have now, so she won't care how many people you killed and how much responsibility you have."
Ian shook his head and sighed: "Don't worry about your mother, she must be well taken care of by Grand Duke Sorin... Maybe it is much better than us."
"Let's go, it's time to start the next stage of life."
Ian and Adalbert walked out of the subspace maze, and with the crisp cracking sound, the fragments of the Void Realm completely shattered.
The outside world has already dawned.
In the hazy sky, two moons setting at the other end of the sky can be vaguely seen. They are interlaced at the edge of the sky, one is dim and broken, and the other is bright and clear.
Even in such a starless night, there will be dawn and the brilliance of the moon.
"Relax, Adalbert."
Gazing at the moon, Ian took a step forward with Adalbert: "There is still a lot of suffering waiting for you in the future, and it is probably a torture that is not inferior to death."
"You can't rest yet."
