The corpse was standing in the corner, and Lin Sheng could not see it from afar.
As he got closer, he realized there was a corpse there.
The corpse wore a grey robe, and it held a yellow leather scroll tightly in its hand.
Lin Sheng was startled by it, and almost slashed at it with his sword.
Fortunately, he stopped in time, and only used his sword to strike the corpse's forehead and chest twice. To prevent the corpse from turning back.
After making sure it was safe, he carefully searched the corpse.
The corpse's robe was torn to pieces with a touch, and turned to dust.
Only the leather scroll in its hand was tough, and showed no signs of damage.
Lin Sheng carefully took the leather scroll from the corpse's hand, and unfolded it.
There was a line of clear and exquisite symbols written on the scroll.
Lin Sheng could not understand it, but judging from the title, it seemed to be some kind of music score.
"Who cares what it is, I'll take it away first!" Lin Sheng did not care, and rolled the leather scroll, and stuffed it into the pocket of his sportswear under his scale armor.
After a pause, he continued forward.
Soon, he reached the entrance of the dark hall.
The hall was dark, and the light was dim. In the center of the hall stood a thick, white jade stone pillar.
There were wriggling snake-like creatures coiled around the stone pillar. The creatures twisted their bodies, like monsters sealed on the stone pillar, struggling to break free.
Lin Sheng's attention was not on these monsters, but on the stone pillar.
There was a statue of a grey-black humanoid angel standing upright.
The angel statue was taller and wider than the average person, and it held a spear in its hand, a round shield, and a pair of wings spread on its back.
Lin Sheng looked carefully, and felt that every feather of the angel was clearly visible, and the texture was fine.
The angel seemed to have a male face, and there was a circle of complicated patterns on its neck. Its body was covered in chiffon, and the toes of its legs were as sharp as eagle claws.
Lin Sheng paused for a while, and sensed that there was no movement around him.
Then, he slowly lifted his foot, and took a step forward.
After entering the hall, there was still no sound.
Lin Sheng continued forward, and slowly walked into the hall.
The moment he stepped into the hall, the door behind him slammed shut.
"Bang!!"
The loud sound of the door closing echoed.
Before Lin Sheng could react.
The gray angel statue on the stone pillar let out a cracking sound.
A large number of stone fragments fell from his body. The wings on his back flapped slowly, bringing about a strong airflow.
* Hiss … *
The gray angel's eyes glowed with blue light.
"Purge! Purge!! "
It let out a thunderous roar.
Lin Sheng was stunned by the series of changes, but he quickly reacted. He raised the Wooden Shield in front of him and held the Greatsword in his other hand.
Before he could react, a gray shadow crashed into the Wooden Shield.
A tremendous force made Lin Sheng's wrist, arm, shoulder, and half of his body completely numb.
The Wooden Shield almost flew out of his hand.
"What great strength!" He fiercely thrust his sword forward.
But the sword missed its target.
Lin Sheng took a closer look. In the dark hall, the gray angel was already several meters away. Its wings were constantly flapping as it floated in the air.
Whoosh!
The gray shadow flashed.
Lin Sheng quickly raised the Wooden Shield.
Bam!!!
The Wooden Shield shook violently. Lin Sheng was thrown into the air without any resistance and crashed into the door behind him.
"It's too fast!"
It was faster and stronger than him, and it was still flying in the air.
Lin Sheng quickly came up with a countermeasure as he rolled on the ground and dodged the third slash of the gray angel.
Bam!
A deep slash mark appeared on the wall.
Lin Sheng was covered in sweat. He got up and jogged as he quickly observed the situation in the hall.
Soon, he found a small door, a small door that had a large hole in the door panel.
Whoosh!!
Another sound of something piercing through the air came from behind him.
Lin Sheng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly leaped into the door.
His Greatsword was stuck when he entered. He had to throw it away reluctantly and entered with only the Wooden Shield.
Behind the door was a spacious bedroom.
Unlike the luxuriously decorated bedrooms before, this room was very simple.
There was a black metal bookshelf on the wall. There were many black leather books on it.
On one side of the bookshelf, there was a large round glass jar. The transparent glass jar's inner wall was engraved with countless faint golden runes.
The jar was empty, and there was only a small object in the corner of the ground. It was black and looked like a pile of burnt bones.
Lin Sheng exhaled heavily. He turned around and listened carefully. There was no movement behind him.
"The gray angel didn't chase after me?"
He seemed to have realized something.
After walking around the bedroom, he was surprised to find that other than a simple single bed, there was nothing else that looked like a bedroom.
The bookshelf, the large glass jar, the black stone rectangular table, and some blood-red flesh that looked like a decoration or an organ.
There was an exquisite silver robe hanging on a hanger in the corner. There was also a belt, a short sword, a wooden staff, and a bunch of keys.
Lin Sheng's eyes lit up. He quickly searched the robe's pockets.
With a light touch from him, the robe tore like a spider web, and a few holes appeared on it.
However, Lin Sheng soon found something.
He took out a stone that was glowing with a faint purple light from the robe's pocket.
"What's this?" He pinched the stone and looked at it carefully.
The stone was only the size of a fingernail. It was glowing with a purple light. Its surface was rough and uneven. There was a faint smell of meat when he smelled it.
Lin Sheng pinched it a little harder. It felt like he was pinching a tumor from a living creature.
He walked to the bookshelf with the stone in hand. He quickly scanned through the books on it.
"I like learning. Learning makes me happy." Lin Sheng's lips curled. He found an interesting book.
He quickly took the book out and flipped it open.
On the edge of the book, there were words written in Gourenne: Subjugation Spell Formation.
Lin Sheng flipped to the first page. He was slightly surprised.
The first page was the preface. It was where the author expressed his thoughts.
There were beautiful words written neatly on it.
"I don't know how long I can hold on. Maybe ten years, maybe a hundred years. "
"The light of hope, the hope brought by the legendary Holy Child, Ancellia, has disappeared with the passage of time. All that is left is the abyss.
But I am still unwilling.
In my hundreds of years of life, I can solve any difficulties and dangers I encounter. Not because of anything else, but because I am the most powerful mage in the entire Snowgale Castle.
Unfortunately, no matter how powerful my magic is, it is still meaningless in the face of the collapse of the world.
Before I died, I chose to keep everything about me in a book and record it in words. I hope there will be a day when I can open it … "
The name at the end was: Kalil Mayer.
"It's a book left behind by a mage!" Lin Sheng was overjoyed. He quickly flipped to the table of contents.
The table of contents was very long. There were at least a hundred lines from top to bottom.
But most of the words were blurred and could not be read clearly.
Only a few could be barely recognized.
Lin Sheng focused and filtered out the parts that could still be read.
As he expected, most of the content in the book was blurred. There were a total of three Subjugation Spell Formations. Two of them were incomplete and could not be learned.
There was one that was barely complete. It was called Elementary Summoning.
