Follow Joseph into the basement.

Annan finally saw the books that Joseph had kept so well.

It's not the same as that sledgehammer.

The books are carefully placed in metal boxes, each containing only one book.

There are a total of sixteen boxes of different sizes and colors. What they all have in common is that each box is topped with a tiny blue gemstone.

"This gemstone is for dusting. I've done a simple modification to it, and it can keep the box dry and clean for a long time. ”

Joseph noticed Annan's eyes, so he carefully explained: "After divorcing Clara back then, I didn't take much with me. Just took these sixteen books away......"

As he spoke, he stroked the boxes gently.

His expression was somewhat complicated.

It was only now that Annan finally saw a trace of loneliness belonging to the old man from his expression.

So Annan did not disturb his memories.

He just held a hammer as tall as himself in both hands, and stood obediently and silently.

It was a long time before Joseph suddenly came to his senses.

"I'm sorry, my lord. You've got results. ”

"No, there is no such thing."

Annan smiled gently: "This is probably life." ”

He turned out to be a little ...... Envy.

But even Annan himself doesn't know what he is envious.

Joseph just smiled and didn't say anything.

One by one, he opened the boxes to confirm the contents. Then it closed again soon after.

Finally he took out six boxes and found a bag to put them together.

"They're all unique and precious. I can't let them be destroyed or lost in my hands, so I've been watching over them all these years. ”

He explained carefully, "When you finish reading those six books, you can come back and ask me for other books." The rest of it won't be of much use until you advance to Silver.

"As we often say, 'What is hidden is poisonous.'" I didn't leave them to Clara...... It's also because of Clara, she doesn't have the talent to be a wizard. She looked at this knowledge directly, and her soul couldn't bear it.

"For example, I told you about the history of that person. In these six books, there is even the real name of the person...... But this knowledge can only be gained by reading in this book.

"After all, whether it is a true god or a false god, as long as the soul is promoted to god, their name cannot be spoken."

Joseph whispered.

Annan nodded.

He also knows this.

Even the name of a god has mysterious powers. If a mortal speaks, he will die immediately; And for the transcendent, their true names themselves are powerful, uncontrollable spells.

In addition to the names of the gods, there are also some very advanced rituals, secrets, etc., that cannot be uttered in human language.

But once you hear it, you'll always remember it...... But as long as this knowledge is used, that is, "pronounced" once, it cannot be said a second time, unless the mystery is replenished.

Annan's eyes widened slightly: "You mean ......"

"Yes, there's real mystical knowledge in it."

Joseph nodded.

He opened the six boxes one by one and showed Annan:

"A Comprehensive Study of the New God "Bone Male", "A Comprehensive Study of the New God "Rotten Husband", "Black Widow's Spider Ritual (January to March)", "Grandmother's Frost Ceremony", "Introductory Imperial Decree Spells", "How to Detect and Resist Curses of Unknown Origin".

"In all four books, there is a certain degree of mystical knowledge hidden in them, so they cannot be transcribed. And the remaining two are the first editions of the spell book and the very useful reference book, which are very collectible...... Your Lord, you can leave a collection after you finish reading. ”

Joseph introduced Annan one by one.

Annan nodded repeatedly.

This is a great gift.

Of course, since Joseph took the initiative to give, Annan would not hypocritically shirk it again.

For example, while "I can't do it, my uncle can't help it", I silently open my pocket or something...... Annan has always been dismissive.

Annan would only carry a sledgehammer, make a childish and well-behaved voice, and ask respectfully, politely, friendly, and humbly:

"—is there anything else, Mr. Backer?"

"Yes! Wait a minute—"

Joseph Bakker also nodded cheerfully.

He opened the drawer under which the books were placed.

It was a wooden reel.

When you open it, you can see a pair of slender white gloves that look like they are made of rubber.

Annan got it, and its attributes appeared in his eyes:

【Elven Hand】

[Type: Armor (Purple)]

[Description: A glove made of elven skin, containing curses and resentment.] 】

[Effect: When the fingers of both hands are crossed, two guiding spells can be channeled at the same time]

[Cost: Do not equip for more than an hour in a row, otherwise the gloves will grow on your hands.] 】

[Description: It seems that there are some other functions in addition to this, but you can't see it for the time being (Advanced Curious Physics failed the test)]

"This is a gift from my mentor when I graduated from the Diamond Tower."

Joseph Bakker whispered with some nostalgia: "But for me, it is useless. It's no more valuable than a good bag of flour......"

As he spoke, he looked at Annan.

"My transcendent path is over, my lord. Silver Rank...... There are many people in this world who have lived a life of extreme poverty, but they cannot even reach the silver or even bronze ranks. But on the otherworldly path, it's only halfway there. ”

There was no mockery, no expectation, no regret in Joseph's eyes.

There is only calm and deliverance.

He whispered, "The transcendent path is the path of inheritance, the transcendent path is the path of curses, and the transcendent path is the path of vows. The transcendent path is the path of exhausting truth......

The transcendent path is the path to godhood.

"I gave up. But your path is just beginning. ”

"I see."

Annan nodded slowly, his expression becoming serious: "I will remember today's conversation, Mr. Joseph." ”

Then the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.

The two stood still. Annan could see that Joseph still had something to say, but he couldn't stop talking.

Annan quickly understood what he meant.

So he thanked Mr. Joseph again, and warned him in advance that some people might ask him questions in the past two days, and Annan left the bakery with a heavy package on his back, a barrel around his waist, and a sledgehammer wrapped in cotton cloth in his hand.

Annan's expression was a little complicated.

Although he told the players that he was going to go out and get some stuff as an excuse......

But he didn't expect to get his hands on so many things.

Joseph almost shoehorned these things into Annan.

This reminded Annan of when he was on Earth...... When the seniors in online games wanted AFK, they also enthusiastically stuffed a precious "legacy" with memories to themselves.

Annan has always been reluctant to use these things.

And his popularity is very good, and he is very popular with his predecessors......

In the end, Annan's warehouse will always have a large amount of inheritance from the time when his predecessors retired from the pit. He kept them as a collector's item.

“…… I didn't expect to encounter such a situation in this world. ”

Annan sighed with some complicated feelings.

He walked on the deserted streets, like a homeless man who had left his homeland, and like a runaway child.

Suddenly, Annan felt a strange chill sweep over his body......

As he passed through an alley, the same tension he had felt before suddenly resurfaced.

Suddenly, a spirit, the whole body stiffened, and his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat-

And this time, Annan finally saw it.

What the hell is I being targeted?

In the alley, there was a tall figure.

He appeared to be about three meters tall.

Dressed in the duke's robes, wearing a sacred white crown and a golden mask like a weeping human face, he stepped on heavy white metal boots, and his hands were also covered with heavy white leather gloves, and his whole body was almost completely covered by clothing.

But if you look closely...... He was found to be "too thin."

It's like there's only bones underneath your clothes.

Update complete! It's a little late, but it's still three watches!
