After a while, Rozen and Xue Cai walked out of the antique shop together.
However, when they came out, there was a book in Rozen's hand.
It was a mysterious and profound book that was emitting an extremely obscure magical wave.
Xue Cai, who was beside Rozen, had been staring at the book. Only now did she speak cautiously.
"This … Could it be a grimoire?"
"Grimoire."
It was different from grimoires and spell books that only recorded knowledge. It was a type of book that carried power, or rather, magical equipment.
These books were recorded in the past in terms of spells, rituals, or laws, and in the process of accumulating a huge amount of knowledge, they were unknowingly born.
Because of the knowledge recorded in them that could bring power, it was normal for the books themselves to possess such power unknowingly.
Therefore, these books became dangerous items that could attract great disasters, and they could also bestow power beyond human intelligence to those who read them.
Those who pursued the path of magic all hoped to obtain a grimoire. Not only could they grasp the knowledge within through reading, but they could also use the grimoire as power to unleash the power brought by the knowledge within. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
However, those who could actually read through these grimoires and control the power within them were few and far between.
Because the power of the grimoire was too powerful or too special, if the person who obtained the grimoire didn't have sufficient ability, he or she would often be controlled by the grimoire and walk down the path of self-destruction.
In the past, countless researchers had dug their own graves because they failed to control the grimoire. Some of them even caused the grimoire to go berserk, bringing great disasters to the modern world. They either destroyed a few cities or tainted the souls of tens of thousands of people, which was why the grimoire became a dangerous item.
Thanks to this, many grimoires were lost in such a process, and their whereabouts were unknown, causing grimoires to become an extremely precious, rare, and rare existence.
It was said that many magicians and witches were worried about this, so they collected grimoires from all over the world and classified them strictly according to their uses. They would either seal them or pass them to people who had the ability to control the grimoires, continuing the wisdom that had been passed down from ancient times to the present.
Of course, there were also some magicians and witches who did not want to develop magic arts or protect the peace of the world. They only wanted to satisfy their own curiosity and desires, which was why they gathered together and did whatever it took to collect magic books from all over the world. They did whatever they wanted without caring about their own safety, and they became a magic arts research organization that had a criminal nature.
For the sake of a Grimoire, various existences from all over the world would sometimes engage in earth-shattering battles. Some wanted to obtain its power, while others wanted to destroy or seal it.
At this moment, the book lying in Rozen's hands was exactly such a grimoire.
However …
"It's not a grimoire that possesses supernatural powers. Its ability is the most basic property of a book — to store knowledge."
Rozen explained as he confirmed Xue Cai's thoughts.
"However, the knowledge that this grimoire can store is far beyond what a normal person can imagine. Even if all the knowledge in the world were to be gathered together, it should be able to record it. Other than that, it has no other use."
In other words, this was a grimoire that did not pose any danger.
"The Lion King Agency really put in a lot of effort. In order to complete their surveillance on me, they even prepared a grimoire like this."
Rozen shifted his gaze to the grimoire in his hands and smiled.
It was easy to imagine how much magical knowledge the Lion King's Organization had accumulated since ancient times.
Even if they wanted to provide such a large amount of knowledge to Rozen, it would not be easy.
Therefore, even if the Lion King Agency was willing to open up the organization's library and allow Rozen to read freely, Rozen would have to stay in the Lion King Agency for quite some time to memorize all the knowledge.
That would be troublesome, and both sides would not be able to rest easy.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the Lion King Agency had prepared this grimoire.
Perhaps, the Lion King Agency had already recorded all the knowledge that they had prepared beforehand for the exchange.
In this way, Rozen only needed to carry this book with him. That was equivalent to bringing along a large organization's library that had been accumulated since ancient times. He could read the knowledge in it at any time, anywhere.
This made Rozen feel a little impressed.
"The secrets that an organization has accumulated since ancient times are their greatest reliance and secret. If they were to hand it over so casually, if I lose it and it is spread, or if it is taken away by the Lion King Agency's enemies, then the Lion King Agency will be in big trouble."
At that time, not to mention anything else, the Lion King Agency's enemies would definitely research and analyze all of its techniques and powers. From there, they would find all kinds of ways to restrain the Lion King Agency and consign it to eternal damnation.
Taking such a huge risk, the Lion King Agency gave this grimoire to Rozen. It was clear that they were expressing goodwill towards Rozen.
However, taking a risk was one thing. The Lion King Agency still had a sense of propriety.
"Has it already been cursed that if anyone other than me were to read the knowledge in it, they would die of exhaustion within three days?"
Rozen immediately saw through the profoundness of it, causing him to smile faintly.
"I'm afraid that once I finish reading it, all the knowledge in it will be automatically erased, right?"
That was why the Lion King Agency dared to hand this grimoire to Rozen.
Rozen could also see that in this grimoire, other than the curses and tactics mentioned, there were also many layers of safeguards.
Faced with such layers of safeguards, even if it was Rozen, if he wanted to remove all of them, he would need to spend a lot of time.
If it were someone else, it would definitely take a longer time.
However, there was definitely a spell on it that once it left Rozen's magical aura for too long, it would automatically be destroyed.
Because of this, Rozan Can would say that the Lion King Agency had put in a lot of effort.
"In any case, I have received your sincerity."
Rozen weighed the grimoire in his hand, and then looked at Xue Cai.
Sensing Rozen's gaze, Xue Cai's face tightened.
"Then, I will officially take over the position of Watcher and be in charge of monitoring the seal of the Fourth True Ancestor."
Xue Cai stared straight at Rozen as she spoke.
"I look forward to your guidance, Senior (Senior)."
Hearing this, Rozen's heart stirred a little.
"Senior (Senior) … Is it?"
Suddenly, Rozen remembered that girl.
That girl who had always been by his side, protecting him with a shield, pure, flawless, and determined.
And at this moment, the girl's figure overlapped with Ji Zhuo's Xue Cai, causing the way Rozen looked at Xue Cai also changed a little.
"That … Senior …?"
Xue Cai seemed to have sensed this acutely, and seemed a little surprised.
"It's fine."
Rozen shook his head immediately, shaking off some thoughts and thoughts in his mind.
"Alright, let's go."
"Yes."
So Rozen and Xue Cai left together, leaving only the antique shop behind, sitting quietly.
