Thump! Thump!
Thump! Liszt hurriedly left the cabin and came to the deck. He kicked away the two Knight who were fighting each other and rushed directly to the mast.
He felt that what Curtis said was true. After all, the soul sinking wood was in his hands and he had the ability to dismantle the ship. The other party would not dare to play tricks.
The mast was very high, but for the elite Earth Knight, it was easy to climb up.
The goat head flag was at the top of the mast, fluttering without any wind. The green flame was not the flag, but the goat head logo was burning. Liszt didn't know what it was made of, but the goat head was a real goat head, not a painting.
"Pull out the goat head flag and insert it on the dragon head of the bow, so that the door to the real world can be opened." He stretched out his hand, ready to pull out the flag.
But suddenly, his heart tightened.
He had always been cautious, but now he reminded himself, "Why did I believe Curtis so easily? This is an evil sorcerer who can use the souls of a ship's crew as a casting material! You can't believe a single word she says! "
He looked down.
He quickly suppressed his urgent mood and sank his will into the gem space. He decided to open the magic book "To His Royal Highness Annette – Curtis Truth", trying to find some kind of answer from this suicide note.
The first page.
Two lines of glowing green Serpentines were written with an unknown pigment.
"My Eternal Love Annette, is everything okay?"
"I made this decision so that I could meet you again in the Land of Exile. Perhaps I would sink into oblivion for all eternity. Two evil souls, the blood of countless living people, all the sins, how can I bear it. "
The words were a little mysterious, with the faint affectation of a female literati.
He didn't understand.
The second page.
It was a text in the form of a preface.
"When I heard the bad news of Uncle Cohen, my heart was dead. Just because of my and Annette's sinful thoughts, the whole family was buried with him … Perhaps we should calmly accept this short but beautiful love, instead of hoping to achieve longevity and steal the power of the Sapphire Dragon."
"The Dragon City Lord plan has failed, and Annette's soul has been exiled. I have lost my love, and then my family. For me, this world has no meaning. Perhaps I should continue to study the ancient sorcerer's notes and transform myself into a Lich walking between life and death. "
"If I can walk freely in the land of exile, maybe I can see Annette again, then all this torture and pain will become meaningful!"
After turning this page, the strange existence of the "Lich" appeared in Liszt's mind.
He didn't have time to think and turned to the third page.
The third page was strange.
He drew a picture with an eye in the middle of the triangle. This was the Eye of Truth, representing a Magician's knowledge and exploration of the world.
But in each corner of the triangle, there were a few more nouns.
On the top corner, there was "matter", and next to it were "alchemist", "vampire", and "necromancer". On the left corner, there was "magic power", and next to it were "sorcerer" and "druid". On the right corner, there was "spirit", and next to it were "wizard", "warlock", "prophet", "succubus", and "shaman".
Below the pattern of the Eye of Truth, there was a word "Knight".
Behind it was a line of scribbled Serpentines: "Heresy, desecrate magic like a beast, violently circulate qi, oppressing the living space of the sorcerer! If one day the age of magic comes, burn all the Knight, let the sorcerer rule the world, and seek the truth! "
If this was written by Curtis herself, it meant that she was a fanatical believer in magic.
This was already a religious evil, not good, not good.
Liszt instinctively hated the word "heresy". His eyes stayed on the words "Alchemist", "Wizard", and "Druid" for a few seconds, then he stopped looking and continued to turn the page.
From the fourth page onwards, the content of the book became research notes. There was only one research topic – the possibility of soul stripping, repeating the experiment.
According to Liszt's quick reading, it seemed that in ancient times, a wizard had developed the "phylactery technology". Placing one's soul in the phylactery, thus becoming an immortal Lich, crossing life and death, real and illusory, becoming an incredible state.
This kind of record could not be distinguished.
Curtis mainly repeated this technology to verify the method of stripping the soul.
At first, she experimented on small animals, then slowly developed to humans, and finally on sorcerers of the same kind. On the 16th page, she completed the experiment and verified that the soul could be stripped and temporarily existed, but it must have something suitable for the soul.
From the 17th page onwards, she began the second research topic – phylactery experiment and production.
A total of 25 pages were experiment notes on this topic. Curtis was like a genius. On the 42nd page, the phylactery experiment was successful, and she developed the Soul Sinking Wood, which could be used as a phylactery to store the soul. There was also a magic circle for storing the soul – the self-exile magic circle.
"These are the four walls that I cut and took back? Using this magic circle, the soul can be stripped out and banished to the Soul Sinking Wood? "
Time waited for no man, and he had no time to think. He quickly turned the page, trying to find the content about the ghost ship.
After turning about 30 pages, he skipped four small research notes about the Lich's phylactery. Finally, he saw a ship on the 74th page, a very detailed three-masted ship, even the goat's head flag on the main mast was clearly visible – this was the Goat, the Goat before it became a ghost ship.
The next 26 pages were all about the modification of the Goat, or rather, the setting up of the magic circle.
Curtis extended the phylactery technology to the entire ship, imprisoning the souls of all the crew members on the ship to protect their own phylacteries.
According to her speculation in the last part of the suicide note, the ship would gradually break through the boundary point between reality and illusion with the constant erosion of the magic circle, and enter the land of exile.
The land of exile.
Sorcerers believed that there was a place at the boundary of the mutual transformation of magic, matter, and spirit. Time and space were indescribable, eternal and ephemeral, and only souls could walk in it. This place was the land of exile.
People who committed the most heinous crimes were usually exiled to the land of exile by the nobles.
To put it bluntly, it was to perform some kind of magic to euthanize people. However, Sorcerers believed that the souls of humans who died in this way would enter the land of exile.
Curtis's ultimate goal was to use the Goat to break through the boundary point between the land of exile and the real world and send her soul into it.
Then she would go after her lover, Annette.
However, she did not expect that the Goat became a ghost ship, wandering between the land of exile and the real world, and did not send her soul to the land of exile.
"Women are really crazy. Crazy for love? It's not enough for one person to die, but also to kill countless people! " Liszt had goosebumps all over his body, and at the same time, he was secretly shocked. "The goat's head flag is placed on the dragon's head, not to leave the land of exile, but to the land of exile. This woman still wants to harm me!"
Fortunately, he was quick-witted and opened the magic book.
