Chapter 18: Margau's Journal
I have to say that Xiao Jinsheng's order to disperse and flee is very correct, although the female knight is powerful, she can only choose one target to pursue.
"Whew...... It seems that the first target is not me, it seems that I went to find the head teacher?" Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief and observed a second of silence for the fat head teacher, "However, since it is a knight in the background of medieval Europe, it should believe in chivalry, and it is unlikely that he will kill indiscriminately, right?"
Bai Xiaowen dodged and rushed into another basement on the side of the fork. Compared to the previous artificially excavated basement, this basement is much narrower and lower, with uneven walls.
"This is supposed to be the basement where the plague rats dug up. ”
As soon as Bai Xiaowen's thought flashed, a gust of wind blew up, and a black shadow rushed straight to the door! In the dim vision, only a pair of green eyes could be seen.
"Zombie Rat!"
Bai Xiaowen didn't care about his image at all, and escaped from the ground, avoiding the zombie rat's pounce. However, the zombie rat's agility of more than 6 points played a role, stepped on the rock wall, turned the direction, and continued to pounce on Bai Xiaowen!
With a snort, the zombie rat pounced on Bai Xiaowen's back, and with a sharp claw swing, Bai Xiaowen's back clothes were torn. Fortunately, there was a machete tied to his back to block it, otherwise with Bai Xiaowen's fragile physique, he would inevitably be injured if he went down with one claw.
At the moment of crisis, Bai Xiaowen's brain was clear. He gritted his teeth and endured the hot pain behind his back, kicked his feet on the ground, and the power value of 4.5 was launched with all his strength, and a pair of military boots even opened a slight crack, which shows the speed of this kick!
Boom!
Bai Xiaowen's body slammed into the rock wall.
The zombie rat lying behind him was almost squeezed into a meatloaf by the force of the impact. Its rigid skin is useless against this type of crash blunt damage.
Bai Xiaowen himself was not happy, and he almost lost his breath. Fortunately, his spirit was high, and he endured the pain of his spine almost dislocating, and slowly sat down against the rock wall. The corpse of the zombie rat was very close to him, but Bai Xiaowen didn't have the slightest idea of moving it.
"The battle is over, the strength is 5, the accuracy is 3, the coherence is 3, the battle evaluation: excellent. ”
"Your Basic Perk: Combat Proficiency Increases. ”
After glancing at the proficiency of his martial arts skills, Bai Xiaowen sighed. He had just killed the zombie rat, and he was considered to be extraordinary, and all evaluations exceeded the usual training standards.
In the era of digital psionic energy, the explosive power of life cannot be underestimated.
Bai Xiaowen turned on the searchlight and began to identify the parchment rolls by the light.
The danger doesn't end, and the real horror is the female knight from the spirit world. Bai Xiaowen must know more information, including the other party's purpose, the source of the mutation in the plague rat den, etc., so that he can have more hope of escaping!
The text on the parchment scroll is in Old Latin, sloppy, and several pages are missing.
Ancient Latin, like classical Chinese, is a regular class curriculum.
Bai Xiaowen learned Latin when he was not divided into classes in the first year of high school, and with his perverted memory, he can still recall a lot of Latin words after searching, of course, he is helpless about grammatical structures and so on. He identified the parchment by word and guess.
(This feeling is very sour, students can make up for the feeling of English reading comprehension by themselves, please ignore it)
Bai Xiaowen flipped through the records of the parchment scroll page by page, slowly combing through the information.
It is a diary with a single line written on the title page.
"It is with great honor that I, Margau, am the servant of the Falgar, the royal chief alchemist of the Lionheart Empire. I swear to the Lord of Light that I will always be loyal to my master. ”
Only then did Bai Xiaowen know that the identity of the linen-robed deceased in the basement turned out to be a servant named Margao.
"July 9, 1152 in the Bright Lunar calendar. ”
"The owner is losing his temper more and more. His Majesty the Emperor seemed to trust the new alchemist more, and disdained the alchemy results offered by his master. This month, two servants have been beaten to death by their masters with the whip of punishment, and I do not wish to be the third. The Lord of Light is above. ”
"August 11, 1152 in the Bright Lunar calendar. ”
"Today we went to the North County Monastery to pray, this is the third time this month, and the master seems to have become much more religious lately. ”
"The owner's temper has also improved, and it has not been a seizure for this month. This must be the blessing of the Lord of Light, praise be to the Lord of Light!"
"September 20, 1152 in the Bright Calendar. ”
"Unbelievable! What a rare opportunity my master is willing to take me as an apprentice!
"September 21, 1152 in the Bright Calendar. ”
"The master told me about his plan and threatened me to join or kill me. Oh my God, I'd rather never heard of this crazy plan, he actually went to steal the soul stone sealed by the North County Monastery!"
"That evil soul stone is being guarded by the nuns of the North County Abbey. Those terrible nuns who have given up their desires for money, pleasure, affection, love, etc., and have dedicated their whole body and mind to the Lord of Light, are simply unreasonable madmen, and anyone who dares to approach the Soul Stone will be purified by them without mercy!"
The later log is missing a lot of pages. Through some scattered descriptions, Bai Xiaowen speculated that the "evil soul stone" should have been obtained by the royal alchemist Falgar and his servant Margao.
It seems that the nuns are not as terrible as Margao describes.
Bai Xiaowen continued to scroll down and found another relatively complete page of logs.
"April 6, 1153 in the Bright Lunar calendar. ”
"This is the third time we have fled, and that group of crazy nuns actually moved Your Majesty and sent powerful royal knights to hunt us down! ”
"We are destined to leave our homeland and head for the port pearl of the South, the city of Walteren. My master planned to find a ship there and sail across the ocean to the New World. Before mastering the power of the Evil Soul Stone and reaching the pinnacle of alchemy, he vowed not to return to the Lionheart Empire. ”
"May 30, 1153 in the Bright Calendar. ”
"In this seemingly endless pursuit and escape, I gradually discovered the change of master. His skin grew paler by the day, like a vampire crawling out of a tomb, and it was daunting. However, the master's power is also increasing day by day, he is becoming faster and stronger, are these the powers brought by the evil soul stone?"
"June 2, 1153 in the Bright Calendar. ”
"Praise the Lord of Light! Just as my master and I were being cornered by the royal knights, a spatial rift appeared like a miracle! No matter what world was on the other side of the rift, we had no choice. ”
"Finally able to escape this eternal pursuit, I seemed to hear the angry and unwilling roar of the royal knight who followed me. ”
