Chapter 74: Chapter 74 The Beginning of Evil
Translator: 549690339
Cass is an experienced Cross Crusader.
When he heard Han Dong’s exclamation, the opening of the wooden door was irreversible. Cass immediately closed his eyes.
He felt a chill breeze brush past him.
Immediately, he utilized his Crusader physique advantage, retreating constantly and kicking the door closed again.
Bang! The study door closed once more.
Cass timely closed his eyes and did not see anything.
“What happened? Was there something outside the door just now?”
Costa quickly responded, “A ghost! Just like the description on the bounty order, a woman hidden beneath a white cloth, with tree-like tentacles growing on the surface of her body.”
“Ghost… what’s going on? How about the study?”
When Cass turned his head back to look at his team, he found that the previously dilapidated study had ‘restored’ itself!
It had returned to the look of a study that a mansion should have.
“Could it be that ‘Night’ restores this mansion? Or does… the moonlight reveal its original appearance?”
Just as his teammates were astonished and considering how to deal with the ghost outside the door,
Han Dong had already picked up a special diary from the desk and started to read it carefully. It recorded the secrets of ‘Beke Family’.
Han Dong skipped the trivialities and focused on the important content.
The notes were written by Baker Marcellus
The content was as follows:
March 17th.
Today Old Henry told me that a batch of good quality ‘new goods’ had arrived in the civilian area.
Just as well, I have grown tired of the slaves at home, it’s time to switch to some new flavors.
Just, the need to personally go to this filthy and smelly civilian area makes me feeling uncomfortable, I hope Old Henry won’t deceive me.
. (The process of buying slaves, about 800 words)
There was not one slave that I fancied, Old Henry’s ‘channels’ obviously weren’t suitable, there’s no need to keep contact with him in the future. But an item showcased at the end of the auction piqued my interest.
A book, a book with special magic power.
It was said to be something a fearless civilian picked up from a long-abandoned drainage system, that civilian sold the book to the auction at a regular price and died at home on the same day.
The starting price of this book was as high as 300 copper coins.
I trust my judgement, this is my only way back to the knight’s path, even if it shakes the family’s funds, I still need to buy it.
If I can learn the special magic recorded in this book, I will be able to return to the ‘Library’, and continue my knight’s path.
I asked the butler to send money over, bought this book and immediately hurried home.
I attended this civilian area auction using a false identity, no one should know about it.
March 18th.
Unbelievable, the content of this book far exceeds my imagination, with my ‘Apprentice Knight’ wisdom at most I can only understand the first chapter.
But this is enough, as long as I can perfectly execute the first chapter, I will acquire endless magic power! When I return to the ‘Library’ faculty, those teachers who expelled me will certainly regret their foolish actions back then.
I need to slowly prepare the living human offerings, and there’s only one chance.
I must first conduct a ‘small-scale simulation experiment’ at home, if it succeeds, then meticulously execute my great plan.
The old woman at home suits the living offering role just right, doesn’t she?
I have long wanted to kill her, this family was single-handedly built by me, the great ‘Apprentice Knight’, she and her unkillable father only provided me with some initial funds.
After being expelled from the academy, the look in her eyes when she watched me every day, was as if she was looking at trash. I have been somewhat impatient to kill this old woman.
March 19th
I’m writing a bit late, but I must record the interesting events that happened today.
It is truly interesting, the experiment succeeded, I have gained power!
Moreover, I even created a ‘Contaminant’ by combining the arcane spells I learned at the Knight Academy with the content of the book’s first chapter.
A Contaminant that is completely harmless to me!
Yes, I am very talented, I can perfectly activate the magic recorded in the book!
After draining this old woman’s life energy, I also transformed her into a Contaminant using the formation.
I can try the content described after the first chapter, try to ‘stuff’ a little something more into her body, and turn this old woman into a powerful Contaminant that guards the mansion, blocking and killing anyone who intrudes into my home trying to interfere with the sacrificial ceremony.
If all this can really succeed…
I might… might become a ‘King’.
March 20th.
Today was also a very interesting day!
I stuffed all family members into this old woman’s body, turning her into a very powerful ‘pet’.
Although I do feel heartache for my young son, but this was also a helpless matter.
What surprises me the most is, the refining site is located in the backyard, when I drove the Evil Array, I didn’t expect the Centenary Parasol Tree to also be fused in.
It is truly unbelievable! This magic book has the power to manipulate the life of all creatures.
Maybe the plan will start from tomorrow… seize this opportunity, lure the security personnel to the door! With my current condition, it is very easy to control these work-shy fellows.
Let’s plan a murder.
The diary ends here.
The content recorded above has clearly explained everything that happened with the ‘Beke Family’.
The mastermind was none other than the head of the family, Baker Marcellus.
As for the ‘ghost’ floating in the mansion, it was a Contaminant he created, using his wife as the main body, then fusing all the family members and a Parasol Tree from the backyard together.
But what Han Dong cared about the most, was not this.
It was the book that the head of the family spent a lot of money on to buy back.
“A ‘Magic Book’ that was auctioned back from the civilian area, it was found by a civilian in the long-abandoned drainage system? The truth of the matter is not so simple… there’s a big problem with this book.
The tests conducted by the National Royal Academy of Knights might indeed have certain problems, but their treatment towards students is more than fair, as long as the students meet the school’s demands, they can definitely study and grow normally within the faculties.
Baker Marcellus, who was expelled, was denied talent and strength, but he can obtain such a powerful strength from a book.
This shows it’s not that he has talent,
it’s that this Magic Book deliberately granted him immense evil power…
deliberately using this head of the Beke family to pollute the interior of the Holy City.
If we can find the book, we might be able to pull out the guy behind the book.”
“Mr. Andwa! Did you find anything?”
Cass’s questioning interrupted Han Dong’s train of thought.
“Hmm… I already know the secret of the Beke family, but we first need to deal with the ‘Contaminant’ lingering outside the door.
According to the description in the book, the ‘Ghost’ main body fused with the Beke family and a hundred-year Parasol Tree in the backyard.
The refining method is related to the ‘Eye’, Senior Koslin has already witnessed this point.
During the fight, one must be careful with eye contact.”
Cass looked surprised, “In just three minutes, Andwa, you’ve already finished the entire diary and memorized key points?”
Han Dong explained, “If you ignore the irrelevant information, there’s not much really useful information, reading also values efficiency and method… Captain Cass, you should make a battle plan.”
“Hmm.”
Cass nodded, deliberately throwing Han Dong a meaningful gaze..
