Placing the book on the table, Garon continued flipping through the pages he had just flipped through.
The yellowed paper was rough and hard. Garon only flipped through it lightly, and a corner of the paper snapped off like a very thin template.
"Be careful, this book is too old. It must be a book from over a hundred years ago," Felicity whispered.
"Got it."
Garon's movements became even more gentle.
He flipped to the fifth page. It was still a table of contents. Garon skipped it and flipped to the main text.
"I would like to thank my friend, Madam Loana. If it weren't for her careful corrections and funding, this book might not have been published …" The last part of the sentence was a little blurred, as if it had been soaked in water.
Garen frowned and flipped to the back. The main body of the book was filled with twisted black letters that looked like tadpoles. He could recognize every single word on it, but when they were arranged and combined, they became a complete mess. There was no meaning to them at all.
"This is … is it a special code? I need to decrypt it before I can read the real content? "Garon frowned. He continued flipping to the back. All the content was the same.
"It should be. Most people would use their own password to encrypt the more important content." Felicity nodded and moved to the side to read.
"Then what do we do?" Garon flipped through the book casually. From beginning to end, he couldn't understand a single sentence. He could only barely make out some drawings that looked like engineering drawings.
"I remember that my friend's grandfather once used an encryption method. I still remember. Let me decode it." Felicity excitedly snatched the book, took out a pen and paper, and began deciphering it with her hands on the table.
Garon was pushed aside speechlessly. Even his seat was taken by this girl.
But standing at the back, he could see Felicity's sexy posture with one foot on the chair with her butt in the air. Her tight black skirt was pushed up high. If he bent down slightly, he could see what was underneath.
"Relaxed and happy." Garon said softly in his heart. He took two steps back with a smile on his face, quietly admiring Felicity's beautiful posture.
About ten minutes later.
"Garon, come here. I know what this book is about!" The girl suddenly shouted.
Garon hurriedly leaned over and immediately smelled the fresh fragrance of a young girl's body. He couldn't help but take a deep breath. But when he saw Felicity's focused profile, he stopped himself and looked at the table.
There was a piece of white paper beside the book on the table. There was a small paragraph of text written on it, which had been decompiled.
"I think I know what this book is about," Felicity said, a little excited.
She flipped to the front of the table of contents and pointed at the page.
"This book is divided into three parts: Nightmare, Whiteness, and Ritual. These three parts corresponded to the author's first encounter with the strange phenomenon, the tedious and difficult search in the middle, and the last clue that he barely found. Overall, this book is a travelogue, a true travelogue of legends! "
"Travel notes? Did it really record the mysterious incident that the author encountered? "Garon asked doubtfully.
"It didn't mention that, but the author did record that he didn't know when it started, but he kept having a recurring nightmare. In order to solve the source of this nightmare and prevent himself from suffering, he embarked on a journey to find the cause. If it was just a nightmare, it wouldn't be considered a mysterious incident. But at the end of the book, the author seemed to have understood something. His words were a bit vague, as if he was avoiding something. "Felicity frowned slightly.
"Avoiding what?" Garon narrowed his eyes. "Can you find the author's information?"
"No, the book said that when the author went to a place and came out, the content after that began to become vague and changed," Felicity explained.
"What was that place?"
"The Rowei Empire Library."
Garon frowned and picked up the book to flip through it.
"Look at the end, there seems to be something!" Felicity suddenly said anxiously.
Garon hurriedly flipped to the last page. Suddenly, a piece of white paper fell out from a crack in the cover. The white paper had fallen out from between the hard cover. If it wasn't for the fact that the hard cover had cracked over time, they probably would have had to use a small knife to cut open the cover to retrieve it.
Felicity quickly picked it up and unfolded it.
There was a line of words written on it: Navis Tsunami Mountain No. 174, under the third tree, six meters deep. I put it there. — — Charlie
"This is a message! Obviously, it hasn't been discovered, or a message like this wouldn't still be in the book. "Felicity was instantly excited." We can go take a look! Who knows, we might find something! "
"Navis … where is that?" Garon had never heard of this place before.
"It's in the Jade Mountain Province at the edge of the Confederation. The provincial capital is Navis. Jade Mountain is a very poor province. The land is barren, and there are very few resources and minerals. Other than the large amount of sunlight, there's almost no advantage. However, the grapes and melons are pretty good." Felicity was getting more and more excited. "So? Are you going or not? Let's go together! "
"The Jade Mountain Province is too far away from here …" Garon was speechless. "It'll take a week to get there by train, and a round trip will take half a month."
"What's there to be afraid of! We have a lot of time anyway. "Felicity waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care.
Garon thought for a moment. "How about this, we'll decide later. I'm about to start school, and I won't be able to make it. Besides, I have a lot of things to take care of. Oh right, Felicity, don't you have things to do at home? How can you squeeze out so much time to go out and play? "
"It's okay." Felicity suddenly seemed to remember something, and the excitement on her face calmed down slightly. "Oh right, I have some things to take care of as well. A round trip might take a month. Hmm … Let's set it for the next holiday."
"That works too." Garon nodded readily.
The two of them gathered together to study the contents of the book. They were in high spirits until the clock on the wall chimed. Only then did the two of them reluctantly stop.
"It's almost noon. I have to go for lunch. I have something to do in the afternoon." Garon stood up straight and let out a sigh of relief.
"Something to do? What's the matter? It's the holidays, and you're still so busy. Aren't you tired? "Felicity got off the chair. Her legs seemed to be numb from kneeling. She lost her balance and sat back.
In a moment of carelessness, her little butt bumped into Garon's lower body.
In an instant, the two of them froze.
Felicity's cheeks slowly turned red. She felt something warm slowly rise up behind her. Suddenly, it jumped and bumped into her private part.
"Ah!" She cried out in surprise, moving away as if she'd been electrocuted. "You're going to die!" She turned around and covered her butt with both hands, glaring fiercely at Garon.
"I …" Garon shrugged innocently. "You bumped into me yourself. I couldn't control myself …" he replied in a low voice.
"Go to hell!" Felicity kicked Garon's calf and left angrily with a pink face.
Garon looked helplessly at the white ash footprint on his pants. That kick didn't even tickle him. But for a normal person, that kick would definitely bruise their bones. After all, that kick was made with the tip of a leather boot.
"Forget it. I still have to go to the old man's place in the afternoon. Ying Er is still the best to me … She didn't even use her full strength when she hit me. "
He dusted off the dust on his pants and walked out of the underground library. Felicity was already nowhere to be seen. After taking out his card to register and leave, he hailed a carriage and rushed home.
Sitting in the carriage, Garon closed his eyes and rested. He checked his current stats. This was something he did every day.
Strength 2.22. Agility 1.10. Vitality 1.87. Intelligence 1.50. Potential 258%. White Cloud Secret Arts: Mastery (Level 4) Explosive Fist Arts: Intermediate White Cloud Combat Arts: Intermediate
"My strength has increased a little. It's better than nothing. But I don't know how to use the potential points I've accumulated … "Garon frowned as he pondered.
"I've been increasing my strength all this time, and I've pushed my Explosive Fist Arts to the intermediate level. With a strong defense and single attack power, I can be invincible for a short period of time. But it'll be troublesome if I meet a fast opponent. In terms of physical attributes and combat skills, I can already be considered a combat expert. Compared to Second Senior Brother and Senior Sister, I'm still lacking by a lot. But compared to normal people and martial artists, I'm still superior. But it's a bit unclear as to which attribute I should increase next. "
His gaze fell on Agility. The 1.10 Agility had not changed at all.
"I remember Senior Sister said two days ago that a true expert must not have obvious flaws. Even if they do, they must know how to compensate for them. Right now, my speed is my most obvious shortcoming. Looks like I need to increase my Agility. "
He analyzed for a while, and his gaze finally fell on Agility.
After a few seconds, the Agility number jumped from 1.10 to 1.20.
Suddenly, the Strength column on one side jumped from 2.22 to 2.42.
Garon was slightly stunned. He looked at his potential points again. He had used up 100% of the potential points he had accumulated over the past few weeks. He was left with 158%.
"Why would adding Agility increase Strength?" He was speechless. "Could it be …" Garon suddenly thought of a possibility. "If I want to increase my speed without changing my strength, then the explosive power will definitely be much stronger than before. The combination of Strength and Speed is the true explosive power and lethality! This attribute should be calculated like this. This way, on top of the stronger Strength, I only need to add a little Speed. It's like multiplying the explosive power and lethality will definitely be much stronger than before. "
He noticed that after increasing Agility, there was an additional symbol behind it. Looking at it carefully, the meaning of the symbol naturally flowed into his mind.
"If the difference in Strength and Agility is too big, there will be a chain effect in the beginning, and it will slowly weaken after that." Garon looked at the other attributes. "If that's the case, wouldn't the best choice be to increase my points evenly? Otherwise, if one side of the body is too extreme, it will create a burden on other aspects and eventually lead to stagnation. "
Garon did not use up the remaining attribute points because the Black Jade Disk's potential points were gradually weakening. The attribute points in it were less than he expected. The speed of releasing potential was getting slower and slower. He estimated that it would be absorbed completely after one or two more points.
Sitting in the carriage, he slowly took out the Black Jade Disk from his trousers pocket. This antique disk was shaped like an iron disk. The potential current flowing out was as thin as a strand of hair.
He gently stroked this inconspicuous rectangular iron disk and felt the uneven engravings and words on it.
"After absorbing it, I can sell it directly through the company or the Golden Hoop. I can get a large sum of money to collect the Antiques of Tragedy." Feeling the subtle changes in his body due to the increase in attributes, Garon moved his body. "I won't go to the old man's place today. I'll go to the dojo in the afternoon to adapt to my body. It'll be troublesome if I don't adapt to it. I've been going to the dojo to train intermittently for so long. If I see the master this afternoon, I'll probably be scolded … "He showed a hint of helplessness.
