Sean picked up the notebook on the floor.

This is a notebook with a black cover, the material is obviously not pure leather, it feels a little smooth to the touch, and it looks like it should be made of some kind of mixed material. This is very rare on the mainland, after all, according to the history of the development of this world, knowledge was still the privilege of the aristocracy about a few hundred years ago, and it was not until about a hundred years ago that the inheritance of knowledge began to be truly popularized after the invention of paper by the believers of the god of wisdom.

So in the past, parchment was the only source of knowledge, and notebooks were naturally something that only existed in the past hundred years. It's just that this kind of thing has a very clear production specification from the beginning, and no one will make a special cover or book cover for a thing that has already been mass-produced, so the importance of this notebook is self-evident.

Sean flipped through his notebook with a look of surprise on his face.

The notebook is not big, about the size of Sean's palm, and it looks thick, but after actually opening it, I realized that there are not many pages in the tunnel, only less than ten pages. The reason why this notebook is so thick is purely because the pages inside are not ordinary paper, but specially tanned and treated sheepskin, which will appear very soft and smooth, and the ink will be more easily absorbed without spreading, so that very small words can be written on these sheepskins.

In fact, the handwriting in the notebook is indeed very small, and each letter has a warped end.

This is the flower script of the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire, which was popular one hundred and fifty years ago.

A mage of the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire?

Sean's brows furrowed slightly: "No wonder I know how to use magic like the soul spear, if I guess correctly, I'm afraid it's still the mage who looks at the spire." ”

The thousand-year Covenant empire does not give Sean a good or bad impression.

As one of the five oldest empires in the world, the Millennium Covenant was originally a federal state of many tribes, but later suffered from conflicts with other empires. It changed from a federal system to a parliamentary monarchy - a king is elected by all the tribes, and when the king is incompetent, the other tribes have the right to remove the king and elect a new king, or even kill the king outright.

It's just that with the development of history, the thousand-year-old Covenant empire has gradually changed from a parliamentary monarchy to a dual monarchy. In recent years, the new emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire has obviously no longer been satisfied with this dual monarchy, and the power of the parliament has basically been completely hollowed out.

At present, among the seven empires on the Miracle Continent, there is not a single dictatorial empire at all.

Except for two empires that are always constantly being replaced. Of the remaining five empires, the Chainas Empire has been a constitutional monarchy since its founding; The St. Joles Empire, on the other hand, was a divine system of monarchy over imperial power; The Maggie Empire is a typical monarchy, after all, magicians are fundamentally quite despised by ordinary people; As for the Emilian Empire, the opposite is true of the Maggie Empire, which is a parliamentary monarchy.

A dual monarchy, in essence, can be regarded as a constitutional monarchy. It's just that the performance of the new emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire is much stronger than that of the Chainas Empire.

Sean doesn't quite remember if the council of the Millennium Covenant Empire was abandoned in the game. However, he did know that if he wanted to revive the Holy Land again, then he would have to deal with the new emperor. In the game. He didn't need to think about it, but now that he was a lord, he had to think about it.

Because every decision he makes, it affects the entire territory and the lives of all his followers. And from the current situation, Asuna is also completely tied to the same boat as him. He even had to think about Asuna, the titular lord.

"This ruin should be the territory of the Kingdom of Dabion, why would the magicians of the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire appear here?" Sean's brow furrowed even deeper.

The first page of the notebook didn't contain much useful stuff, and it was basically something that the magician was talking to himself. Occasionally, a few mage's proper nouns and terms are involved. However, these are very short, occasionally a word or a few words, at most a short sentence of about ten words or less, and the content is also self-talking.

Sean flipped through two pages very casually, and there was nothing worth paying attention to.

But when he turned to the third page, his eyes changed.

In the first line of the third page, it reads, "In May 1713 I finally arrived at Dabião with the mission. ”

"1713...... The game's official beta date is 1870, which is almost 160 years ago! Sean quickly reacted, "This is even earlier than the closed beta!" ”

Marvel is a game with a timeline that basically all the missions and historical events and the like happened in real life. When the game officially started the open beta, the time in the game was 1870, but Sean heard that there was a three-month closed beta before that, with no more than 10,000 players invited, and the timeline was 1770, exactly one hundred years before the start of the open beta.

When the game officially started the open beta, all the historical issues in the game became something that players needed to discover for themselves, which is also the origin of the research party.

"What is a magician from the Millennial Covenant Empire doing in the Kingdom of Dabion?" Sean's brow furrowed, "Could it be that the Kingdom of Dabion wants to build a fortress here to resist the invasion of the barbarian tribes is an illusion?" ”

Sean remembers Andre saying that it had been trying to build a fortress for more than a hundred years, and that it was only in recent decades that the plan had finally been abandoned. If the true purpose of the Kingdom of Dabion is not to defend against the invasion of the Wild Lands, but to have some secret deal with the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire, then the meaning of the existence of the ancient ruins here is completely different.

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't wait to take a look.

"In July 1713, after two long months of negotiations, an agreement was finally reached with Dabiang."

There is still only one sentence, but nothing is said about the specific content of the agreement.

"November 1713. Things are as bad as the rumors say, but it would be nice if it worked. ”

"In February 1714, all the supplies had been delivered, and I had finally drawn up the blueprint."

"In June 1714, the progress was not very smooth, and although the Rubik's Cube had been built, the construction of the underground laboratory was difficult."

Seeing this, Sean's gaze suddenly froze: "Underground laboratory? …… Defending against the invasion of the Wild Lands is really just a pretense. …… No, it can't be said to be a cover, it should be that this thing is supposed to kill two birds with one stone. The kingdom of Dabion could not be fools, and they could never do anything that was not good. ”

The third page is finished here, after all, this notebook is not large, even if the handwriting is smaller, but the space is very limited. What's more, the flower font of the Millennium Covenant Empire is still a kind of text that pursues visual beauty, so it will leave some blanks. Try to make the text look as beautiful as possible. It's not all stacked on top of each other.

Turn a new page.

"In February 1715 there was finally a new advance in the stalled work."

"In March 1715, the underground experiments were finally completed, and I thought I would soon be able to begin the first one."

"In May 1715 the Guards finally attacked, and I am confident that my first experimental materials will be delivered soon. Before I do that, I'm going to check the Rubik's Cube. ”

"In August 1715, the first batch of material was finally captured, and I was so satisfied."

"May 1716, damn it. The experiment failed! ”

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but when Sean saw the words "material" and "experiment failure", he felt a chill of extreme sadness and fear from the bottom of his heart. And at the bottom of the fourth page, there is an extra number: 271.

Sean didn't know what the number meant, but his instincts were telling him that it was definitely not a good number.

"In September 1716, the second batch of materials finally arrived, but the inferior breeds of the tribes seem to have discovered this place, and the fortress has not yet been built, so I am a little worried."

"In November 1716 the inferior species seem to have attacked, but that's none of my business."

"In December 1716, damn it, one of the experiments escaped! This disrupted all my plans! I'll have to find it out first! ”

"In January 1717, the front was lost, and Commander Entin had to retreat to the second line, and now I must first evacuate here."

"In June 1717, the war finally ended, and fortunately we recaptured the area, but unfortunately it seemed that we had to go through a new period of construction."

At the bottom of the fifth page, there is still a number: 410.

This number is much higher than the previous one, and Sean finally understands one thing, this number probably represents the amount of living materials.

Turning to the sixth page, the content is no longer dated, and it seems that it has been written casually in the middle of his busy schedule, because the language is obviously cluttered, and many of them are even similar to feelings. What was written in the notebook was obviously no longer a mere diary or anything else, but something similar to an experiment report.

"Another war has broken out, how many times has this been? I'm not going to leave here anyway, and the inferior ones don't want to find the right entrance to the lab anyway. …… I heard that there is a princess of the tribe in the experimental materials this time, hehe, I can't wait to meet her. ”

"Damn, it's been so long, why hasn't the experiment that escaped before been found! Judging by the results so far, the experiment is probably my most successful masterpiece, and I'm going to have to grab it anyway! ”

"I've got to keep all the lab stuff on guard, that damn brute is using my lab stuff for food! Sure enough, the inferior species will not have any racial outlook. But this time I was lucky enough to catch some of the brute's blood, maybe I could do some other experiments? ”

"I'm a genius! Even an incompetent guy like a goblin can be strengthened to the silver stage by me, so what about acting on humans? …… That damn experimental material must have been fully enhanced, and I had to catch him! Do whatever it takes! ”

"I came up with an idea!"

Sure enough, no creature can escape the thirst for lust in the end. Hehe...... It fell in love with that princess and actually gave that princess a child, hehe. ”

"I finally caught that beast today. Then I killed the princess in front of it and took out its baby, and oh, it was so wonderful that it went crazy. …… Well, there's another war on the ground......"

"For what, a beast will have divine power in its body! Could this canyon be the place where some god fell? ”

"The beast is finally dead, and I have condensed all the blood of his body into a single crystal, maybe I should use humans for experiments to see how things go?"

Seeing this, Sean closed the notebook with a "snap".

At this moment, he felt the blood in his body become abnormally boiling, and he knew that he was very angry now.

Things like living experiments are not uncommon in this world, and the believers of the God of Wisdom in the Haytham Institute often do this kind of thing, but they will never do it so cruelly and bloody, which is completely out of the definition of the so-called "magic experiment", but a real evil experiment! Shaun couldn't believe that a mage from the Lookout Spire could do such a thing, and he began to suspect that the mage should be the mage who had been banished by the Lookout Spire.

After taking a few deep breaths, Sean reopened the notebook, and there were only two pages left.

"I finally realized that it wasn't my experiment that was successful, but that this beast had become more powerful because it had been infected with divine powers. The war on the ground is over, and I'm literally trapped in this lab. ”

"I finally got a taste of what it was like to eat the flesh of my companions in order to survive."

"I can feel the endless evil thoughts in the lab, and these evil thoughts are about to manifest."

"I've been infected by evil thoughts. However, I can still suppress this pressure, I must return to China as soon as possible, otherwise once my soul is completely devoured, I will become a gathering of evil thoughts. …… But before that, I'm going to kill all the people in the laboratory, this plan is the core secret of the empire, and it must not be leaked, and there is still a lot of value here, I actually found a closed entrance to the abyss! ”

The notebook is completely over when it gets here.

It's just that Sean's gaze has not been calm for a long time.

The contents revealed from the notebook show that even if the specific plan is not written on it, Sean already knows what the idea of the Millennium Covenant Empire is fighting. Originally, this incident was circulated as a rumor by a small number of players in the game, although the rumor is never groundless, but no one has ever received the trigger point of the mission, so this mission has been forgotten by players over time.

Sean didn't expect that the Millennium Covenant Empire would be so cunning that it would not set up research institutes within its own borders at all, but in other countries, no wonder no player could receive the trigger point of the mission.

At this moment, an urgent shout suddenly came from behind Sean: "Sean! (To be continued.) )

PS: In my current situation, there are still so many people supporting me, thank you very much! This month's update is really not good, but I can't help it...... No one wants to waste an opportunity to block a push in such a situation, and I am really helpless.
