Cass was an experienced [Crusader].
When he heard Han Dong's exclamation, the opening of the wooden door could no longer be reversed. Cass immediately closed his eyes.
He only felt a gust of cold wind brush past his body.
He immediately made use of the advantage of his Crusader's physique, retreating and kicking the door.
Boom! The door to the study closed once again.
Cass closed his eyes in time and did not see anything.
"What happened? Did something pass by outside the door just now? "
Kirst quickly replied, "A spirit! It's the same as the description on the bounty poster. The woman hidden under the white cloth has branch-like tentacles growing from her body. "
"Spirit … What happened? What happened to the study? "
When Cass turned to look at his teammates, he realized that the dilapidated study had been 'restored'!
It had returned to the appearance of a study in a luxurious mansion.
"Could it be that 'Night' will restore this mansion? Or … Moonlight can reveal its original appearance? "
Just as his teammates were astonished and considering how to deal with the spirit outside the door …
Han Dong had already picked up a special diary on the table and started reading it seriously. It recorded the secrets of the 'Baker Family'.
Han Dong skipped over the trivial matters and started reading the important content.
The diary was written by [Baker Marcellus]
The content was as follows:
17th of March.
I heard from Old Henry that there was a batch of 'new goods' of good quality in the commoner district.
Just nice, I'm already sick of the slaves at home. It's time to change my tastes.
But, I have to personally go to the commoner district, a filthy and stinky place, which makes me a little uncomfortable. I hope Old Henry didn't lie to me.
… … (The process of purchasing slaves, about 800 words)
There wasn't a single slave that caught my eye. Old Henry's' channel 'is obviously not working. There's no need for me to continue contacting him in the future.
But there was an item on display at the end of the auction that interested me.
It was a book, a book with special magical powers.
It was said that a fearless commoner picked it up from an abandoned sewer system. That commoner sold the book to the auction at a normal price and died at home on the same day.
The starting bid for this book was as high as 300 copper coins.
I believe in my own judgment. This is the only way for me to walk on the path of a Knight again. Even if it means using my family's funds, I have to buy it.
If I can learn the special magic recorded in this book, I can go to the [Library] again and continue my path as a knight.
I asked the housekeeper to send the money over and bought the book. Then, I immediately rushed home.
He had used a fake identity to participate in the auction in the commoner district, so no one should know.
March 18th.
Unbelievable. The content of this book is far beyond my imagination. With my wisdom as a 'novice knight', I can only understand the first chapter at most.
But this is enough. As long as I can execute the first chapter perfectly, I will obtain an endless amount of magic power! When I return to the [Library] department, those teachers who expelled me will definitely regret their foolish actions back then.
The human sacrifice had to be prepared slowly, and there was only one chance.
I must first conduct a 'small simulation experiment' at home. If it succeeds, then I will carry out my great plan in detail.
Wasn't this old woman in the house a living sacrifice?
I've wanted to kill her for a long time. This family was built because of me, the great 'Trainee Knight'. She and her old father only gave me a little starting capital.
After being expelled from the academy, she looked at me every day as if she was looking at a piece of trash.
I can't wait to kill this old woman.
March 19th.
It's a bit late to write, but I have to record the interesting things that happened today.
It's really interesting. The experiment was a success, and I obtained power!
Moreover, I even used the arcane spells I learned in the knight academy and combined them with the content of the first chapter of the book to create a 'contaminant'.
A contaminant that is completely harmless to me!
That's right, I'm very talented. I can perfectly execute the magic recorded in the book!
After I drained this old woman's life force, I turned her into a contaminant through a magic array.
You can try the content described in the latter part of the first chapter. Try to 'stuff' something into her body and turn this old woman into a powerful contaminant. She can guard the mansion and stop and kill anyone who breaks into my house and tries to interfere with the sacrificial ceremony.
If all of this can really succeed.
I might … I might become a 'king'.
March 20th.
Today was also a very interesting day!
I stuffed the whole family into this old woman's body and turned her into a very powerful 'pet.'
Although I feel sorry for my young son, there's nothing I can do about it.
What surprised me the most was that the refining site was in the back garden. When I activated the evil magic array, I didn't expect that the hundred-year-old sycamore tree would also be fused into it.
It's really incredible! This magic book has the power to control all life.
The plan will start tomorrow … I'll use this opportunity to lure the security officers to my door! With my current strength, it's easy for me to control these guys who live off women.
Let's create a murder plan.
…
The diary stopped there.
The contents of the book had clearly described everything that had happened to the Baker Family.
The mastermind was the head of the family, Baker Marcellus.
As for the 'ghost' floating in the mansion, it was a contaminant created by his wife, his whole family, and a sycamore tree.
However, this wasn't what Han Dong cared about the most.
It was the book that the head of the family spent a lot of money to buy.
"The magic book that was auctioned off in the civilian district was picked up by a commoner in an abandoned sewer pipe? The truth isn't that simple … There's a big problem with this book.
The National Royal Knight Academy's test might have some problems, but it's fair enough to treat the students. As long as the students meet the school's requirements, they can definitely study and grow normally in the various departments.
Baker Marcellus, who was expelled, had his talent and strength denied, but he could obtain such great power through a book.
This means that it's not that he has talent.
It's that this magic book deliberately gave him great evil power … It deliberately used this head of the Baker family to contaminate the interior of the Holy City.
If we find the book, we might be able to lure out the guy behind it. "
…
"Friend Andwa! Did you find anything? "
Cass's question interrupted Han Dong's thoughts.
"Yes … I already know the secret of the Baker Family, but we have to deal with the 'contaminant' wandering outside the door first.
According to the description in the book, the main body of the 'ghost' fused with the Baker family and a hundred-year-old sycamore tree in the backyard.
The refining method involves the 'eyes,' which Senior Koslin has already seen.
During the battle, we have to be careful of eye contact. "
Cass was surprised. "In just three minutes, Andwa, you finished reading the entire diary? You even wrote down the key points? "
Han Dong explained, "Omitting the unimportant information, there's not much useful information. Efficiency and methods are important when reading books … Captain Cass, you come up with the battle plan."
"Okay."
Cass nodded and deliberately threw Han Dong a meaningful look.
