Chapter 36 Failed sacrifice~)

Pure white candles burning at the corners of the desktop.

The thumb-sized flame, the dim light spread as much as possible, and in the end it was only barely illuminated nearly half of the room.

Someone was at his desk, holding a quill pen in his hand, constantly writing something.

His left hand pressed the ancient scroll spread out, and the paper recorded paragraphs of pictograms neatly arranged. On the outside of his right hand were many opened books, and most of them also appeared on it, but more were paragraphs composed of common texts in the dreamland, such as an introduction to the former.

The writer often waves his head back and forth, looking at the scroll, and then writing hieroglyphs with his pen, and then looking for similar descriptions according to the books on the other side. Perhaps because it is too difficult, his eyebrows are always frowning.

"It's really troublesome. I had known that there was so much content, so I shouldn't have asked for help. I'm not going to read it after the translation is finished... Hiss~ Damn it, the wound is still not healed, it's all the blame for that bastard. Wouldn't it be good to wait until I enter the tea room before coming out?"

Covering the wound behind his shoulders, the man cursed in a low voice.

In the corridor next door, Zhu Jue was standing against the wall, eavesdropping on the sounds in the room.

Hearing this passage, Zhu Jue immediately made sure that his perception was not wrong. The person in the room was the one who was slapped into the house by himself in the afternoon and then fled into the big library.

"Your luck is really not very good!"

I walked slowly to the door. Since there were cultists appearing in the room, it proved that there was indeed a problem here.

The scavenger surged out of his palm, wrapped around the door handle, and protruded into the interior along the keyhole.

Pick~ Pick~

Footsteps sounded across the stairs.

Zhu Jue paused his movements, quickly withdrew his hand, turned around and pushed open the window behind him, and climbed over with one hand with the window frame. The scavenger then emerged, fixing his body firmly on the wall outside the window.

The sound gradually approached here.

After waiting for about half a minute, Zhu Jue heard the knock on the door and the creaking sound when he opened it.

"How is the progress?"

The translator had now changed his position in the seat of the translator, rubbing his fingers at the ancient scroll.

"Sorry, it's quite difficult to translate those words. I have only barely translated a small part of them in the past few days... Those words are something we have never seen before. The classics obtained in the library can only be used as references and cannot clearly give information. I have asked ancient literature scholars in Fantasy Land, but they have not been able to give a clear response. If manual translation continues, according to the current progress, it will take at least three months to translate all the content."

The man with a pale face was standing at the table and said carefully.

"This situation will not last too long. After the plan is completed, we will return to the real world. At that time, it will naturally be taken back to translate through other methods... What about the situation on the Dream Eater side?"

Take out a square box from your arms, lift it up and store a silver-white ring inside, brush it across the scroll, and put everything on the table in.

As a priest, he could not have any wealth on his body, so he could only put the space ring in his arms and carry it.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be completely destroyed. Leonard and others seem to have found a very powerful helper. They killed nearly half of the Dream Eater in a short period of time. The injuries on my body were also caused by him."

Looking back at the scene at that time, even though several hours have passed, it still makes people feel trembling.

"I haven't asked someone to remind you in advance, why are you still injured?"

The eyes stayed at the other person's shoulder, and there was no concern, it was just a blame for him.

"When the plan is implemented tomorrow, everyone has their own position, and I don't want you to have problems at that time."

"Please rest assured, there will be no problems."

After paying so much, it was about to get something. How could I give up because of some injuries? I paused and said hesitantly,

"This time we have negotiated a cooperation with the dream eaters, but at this time we put aside them. Although we used the people of the Dream Brigade as a cover, it is difficult to ensure that they will not cause trouble afterwards. After all, they have mastered the space cracks, and then..."

"You leave first, go to meet with the others in the city, and prepare for the next plan. You must act in advance."

He is not in the mood to talk about such things with a subordinate now, and he has no intention of responding to the conversation, but just changes the topic casually.

"I understand, I'll inform them now."

There is no intention to continue the topic I mentioned just now, just to retreat and leave with a respectful look.

He did not dare to look up until he retreated to the corridor and closed the door.

The resentment in my eyes finally doesn't need to be concealed.

That disgusting old guy, one day, his position will be replaced by me!

With a dark mind, he clenched his fists and left along the right side of the corridor without noticing the tan gravel following behind him.

When the steps were far away, the people in the room breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the space ring that had not been taken back, and placed part of the translated manuscripts and the part that had been translated for the afternoon of the subordinates to work hard on the table for a careful review.

Soon, his body trembled slightly as if it had been electricity, and then collapsed on the bench. Suddenly, he seemed to have seen something amazing, and raised his hand to cover his cheek.

Due to his extreme effort, his face was even twisted under the ravage of his fingers.

"It is not the time yet, maybe I shouldn't have tried... No, when the plan is over, I will return to the real world, where there will be no chance... Great Father, I hope you can forgive my selfishness, I want to get closer to you, no longer with this dirty and weak human body."

After the words came to his mind, he suddenly stood up and walked around the long table. Instead of leaving it, he walked to the bookshelf on one side of the house, half-squatted and opened several long drawers at the bottom of the bookshelf, took out a cloth wrap from it and opened it.

There is a vessel containing some kind of liquid, a large brush, and several special crystal powders.

First take out a portion of crystal powder and put it in the vessel, blend it with the brown liquid in it. After stirring for several times, the color of the liquid will turn into a dark black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dip a part of it with a brush, turn around and lift the blanket that was originally laid on the floor.

There are some shallow marks left on the marble floor under the candlelight, and it is obvious that several special activities have been carried out before.

After familiarity with the traces that have not yet disappeared, he re-outlined a special magic array.

Put your hands in the center of the magic circle and begin to sing in a humm manner in an ancient language. In the middle, you retract your hands and grab a handful of crystal powder and throw it up.

The first handful of crystal dust fell under the candlelight, melting and disappearing after entering the magic array.

The wind suddenly rose from the center of the magic circle, blowing the robe of the singer, and the corners swung violently, making a sound.

The runes around the magic circle light up one by one, and the chanting continues.

The second holding of crystal dust rose, and this time they no longer fell, but instead floated in the air, similar to a haze-like existence.

The chanter got up, and his breathing suddenly became heavy, and he raised his head halfway and sucked all the crystal dust into his nasal cavity.

The next second, his body began to tremble unconsciously, his hands sagged beside him, and suddenly twisted into a strange posture, and his body began to sway.

The skin gradually ulcerated at the next moment, at first, with dark dark green pustules. After they cracked, there was disgusting liquid beginning to cover the whole body. Then the hands were no longer hands, and the feet under the robe also changed. The head on this indescribable body could no longer be directly looked at by humans.

His eyes were scarlet, and a large number of dark green tentacles appeared in the position of his mouth. He muttered some special language in his mouth. At one moment, he suddenly bent down and grabbed the last handful of dust and sprinkled it on the open space in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, the air began to fluctuate violently, and the crystal dust suddenly began to change from its disordered state under the guidance of some unknown force, and finally moved closer to a special image.

Their bodies are like buckets with folds one after another. From the middle of the barrel, their thin touch limbs extend horizontally like spokes on the wheel. At the top and bottom of the barrel, there are protruding knot-like objects, and five flat long arms extend from the knot. The long arms become thinner at the end, like starfish...

"Great ancient man, please forgive me for your presumptuous contact. This is the offering to you. I want to learn from you how to transcend human shackles!"

It was clearly in the form of a monster, but it was said that it wanted to transcend the strange words of human beings. The sacrifices he took out were various gems, piled up in the center of the magic circle.

The ancient man hovered in the air, his head limbs swung left and right, and the orange crystal balls glowing at the top were flashing, as if he was looking at whether the things in the magic circle were in line with his wishes.

After a long time, another wave appeared in the air.

"No need...wait, I have something else, please don't leave!"

The monster was a little panicked. He thought he had prepared enough. He thought that this ancient race was always interested in crystals that could strengthen his soul. However, the clear rejection message in his mind made him realize that he was completely wrong. He was in a panic and wanted to take out other things from the space ring to try to save them.

But the patience of the ancients was limited.

After only about ten seconds of stay, the figure in the air began to become illusory until it returned to peace.

The monster who was still pulling out something from the space ring stood stuttering in place.

Everything he had finally prepared failed in vain.

There is no even any compensation...

"Why only stay for so few seconds, why!"

The already chaotic spirit went to extremes in the mood of annoyance, and the monster was stomping on the magic circle on the ground a little crazy.

You Zi was not satisfied and started smashing other things in the room.

Bang!

The door suddenly opened at this time.
Chapter completed!
