Fatima was as cunning as a fox.
Although she herself was a Transcendent, she concealed this fact, claiming that she was going to conduct an investigation. Before departing, she took ten gold dragons from Su Lu as ‘investigation funds’.
Three days later, within the agreed time, a pile of documents landed in Su Lu’s hands.
He seriously suspected that this woman had gone out and had fun for three days, then casually wrote some intelligence to fool him. Even so, Su Lu started to read with great interest.
Not long after, his brows furrowed slightly.
“So… I was too presumptuous before. Even though the demon believers have retreated, the casualties among the citizens are too heavy and the demon influence is still present. Hence, Nia City is fraught with hidden dangers…”
“For example… in the sewers and in secluded places, strange flesh beasts exist. If not cleaned up in time, it can easily brew another disaster…”
“Too many people have died, and supernatural incidents occasionally happen.. “The void left in people’s spirit after the disaster allowed some strange beliefs to take advantage…”
“All these issues combined are not very serious individually, but they are enough to cause the Goddess Church and the Eleventh Bureau to be worried. Hence, they chose to partially cooperate with the Transcendents amongst the civilians? So that’s why there was the previous business introduction place?”
After reading it a few more times, Su Lu couldn’t help but laugh wryly.
Fatima was still very cautious and did not expose her ‘secret’. Instead, she provided another clue – a private Transcendent gathering in the city.
Although it certainly couldn’t compare to the black market in Charles City, Su
Lu was prepared to check it out.
After all, the materials he used to create the trick cards have been exhausted. Although he has already asked Billy to send the Dollyf Family to gather some, having an additional channel is always a good thing. “The meeting is on the evening of the 15th, right?” Looking at the date, Su Lu was not too anxious.
His current location was in Billy’s mansion.
As a newcomer to Nia City who had not yet established any circle of connections, the diligent exchanges with others were absent.
As long as he controlled key persons such as secretaries and housekeepers, this place would be considered as Su Lu’s base.
Unless Billy’s real dad came to the mansion without making a sound, no one would know about Young Master Ron’s facade.
“Time to read the book.”
Su Lu glanced around.
In his bedroom, he had already used various talismans to ‘seal’ and ‘encrypt’ the environment.
Only after confirming everything again did he open the bottom layer of the suitcase and took out the “Nameless Necromancer Book”.
Because of the ‘seal’ of the Demon Hunting dagger, the book appeared very quiet at this time.
The inheritance of a Necromancer profession?”
Su Lu’s lips twitched. He was not interested in becoming a Necromancer, but this book did not only contain information on the Necromancer profession.
The information contained within it was very rich, and it touched upon many mysteries of the Spirit World!
After all, with regard to exploring the Spirit World, Spiritual Bodies naturally have a significant advantage.
Su Lu pulled out the dagger and flipped open the thick cover.
“The world will eventually perish, only the Spirit World is the final refuge!”
The maxim on the title page couldn’t move him at all, and he turned over the first page without any hesitation, depicting content with eerie Necromancy illustrations.
Actually, if a person with lower resistance came across this part, their heart would probably be occupied by madness and despair, leading them to begin initiating [Necromancer].
This is also the reason why Su Lu had to seal this room!
He didn’t want to find the mansion transformed into a Necromancy playground once he had finished reading.
The content in the “Nameless Necromancer Book” is very disordered and not solely a lineage.
Upon flipping the next page, Su Lu saw a hymn to the Spirit World:
“The destination of all spirits…”
“Let us humble existences offer up our insignificant praise…”
“You are the Pope of the spirits, the origin and termination of the River of the Underworld, where all life’s vitality and mortality resides, the beginning and the final destination…
The entire page was filled with praises in Gulam Language for the Spirit World.
Su Lu’s face changed slightly.
“This… if the spell is chanted in Gulam Language, it seems to be a spell? A spell for training Spiritual Body’s strength?”
For this weird stuff, he didn’t intend to take it lightly. However, reading it wasn’t without benefits.
[XP+10]
In the attribute column, an experience point emerged, and it seems to continue
growing.
“As expected…this ‘Nameless Necromancer Book’ , not only is it a unique book, but it also provides experience points…the True Spirit experience it contains probably exceeds that of Obsidian Pendant that recorded the [Wandering
Mage] profession information…”
Su Lu’s finger slid over a page with a hint of surprise.
This was expected.
If experience points are related to the most mysterious and uncertain ‘True Spirit’, then Necromancer and other Spiritual Body professions are undoubtedly the closest.
“I wonder how many experience points this book can provide me with? 1,000?
or 2,000?”
More and more, Su Lu felt that his decision to snatch this book initially was absolutely correct.
And with his reading, more information emerged:
[Ding! Detected first-grade profession information – Necromancer, require
Spirit 1.5, Body of Dead Soul! … Conditions do not match! Cannot take office!] [Ding! Detected second-grade profession – Evil Spirit, conditions for taking office…]
“As expected, the professional information of a Necromancer…”
Su Lu’s face didn’t change much: “I didn’t expect that in the beginning, I would obtain information for two professions.”
He continued reading, and notifications on the attribute bar promptly appeared:
[Ding! Detected third-grade profession – Evil Spirit, conditions for taking office…]
“Huff huff…”
Su Lu’s breath became somewhat coarse, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he felt that his Inspiration was being depleted quickly.
It was apparent that reading up to this point put quite a lot of strain on him.
“However, I still have stamina…”
Su Lu turned a new page, his pupils dilated slightly:
On this page, there weren’t any specific words, only a large amount of distorted lines and symbols. It wasn’t in Gulam Language but instead looked more like a child’s scribble.
Various red, green, blue, and black dyes came together, forming a color dizzying to the eye.
“What is this…?”
Su Lu tried to understand forcefully and immediately felt that his Inspiration was declining rapidly.
In just a few seconds, it decreased by a whole 3.0!
This could cast several Heart Tricks, or kill who knows how many people using Spirit oppression.
Su Lu felt that his head was somewhat swollen.
But in such a dizzy state, the text on the page inexplicably became somewhat understandable:
“Praise be to you, the Spirit of all Spirits. Your realm is infinitely vast…” “I have walked over the sea of hearts, to the third layer of the Spirit…” “I saw … the distortion of rules…”
“Those boundless, absurd, everything, are all your masterpiece… Ah… Great existence…”
Thump!
Su Lu suddenly closed the book: “No… I can’t continue!”
