Chapter 22

Melissa is the former great knight of glory and the daughter of Joseph, the current intelligence chief.

She has beautiful curly red hair inherited from her mother, like algae in the water, soft and smooth, she looks like a pearl-like mermaid when she loosens it up, and a heroic princess knight when she bundles it up.

Because she was at home, her clothes were very casual.

The double-breasted white lace shirt, high-waisted blue skirt, black pantyhose, and beige slippers form the image of an independent, youthful young girl.

Because of her mother's early death, she lived with her father, Joseph, in the house on 1st Street, Uptown.

In terms of age alone, according to the logic of ordinary people, Joseph is actually old enough to be her grandfather.

But for the knights who intercept the ether and turn it into their own power.

Age doesn't really mean anything.

This sixteen-year-old girl is actually already a team leader of the Secret Ritual Tower Combat Section, and an abnormal-level knight.

"It's really strange...how can he read?"

Melissa picked up the book and looked at it suspiciously, and unceremoniously expressed her doubts.

"I've never seen him read any books, not even when he was a great knight of glory."

Melissa frowned tightly, thinking hard.

Joseph was not at home all year round because of his duties. In fact, she was the only one living in the house.

Thinking carefully, the few books Joseph read were all things he had to read.

For example, when the Labor Law was promulgated not long ago, Joseph spent time studying and looking at various regulations, racking his brains to find out what is beneficial to him.

Normally, Joseph didn't even bother to touch the pages of the book.

Curiosity suddenly arose in Melissa's heart. She looked at the book titled "Children of the Abyss" in her hand and opened it.

The speed of finger flipping gradually became more and more immersive.

His eyes gradually changed, and his expression gradually became dignified.

"Damn it, don't bother me anymore. Although I'm just a cripple now, the owner of the bookstore doesn't have any trace of ether on his body, but he can make me unconscious. Don't you know what such strength means? I just It can be said, don't try to die, keep respect, otherwise I won't save you guys who are asking for it!"

Joseph's voice was getting closer, vaguely mixed with the sound of kicking the wall.

Melissa raised her head abruptly, and came out of that ancient yet attractive and magnificent world, feeling as if she had drawn her soul back.

She shook her head, put the book down quickly, and quickly restored it to its original position with the help of memory.

Then he pretended to be walking back to the bedroom as if nothing had happened.

"Melissa."

Melissa turned her head nervously, but heard Joseph reminded warmly: "Remember to drink milk."

"..."

Melissa nodded with a half-smile, then slammed the door shut.

"call……"

She took a long breath, but question marks popped up in her mind: "Who wrote that book? Could it be that the protagonist in it is the Elf King Kendela, and later the Demon Sword Candela? Why are these stories so wonderful and true? Is it a biography, or a novel?"

The most important thing is - she hasn't finished watching it yet!

Just a little bit, she will be able to see a very exciting point!

Melissa mumbled and jumped onto her bed, her heart itching unbearably, and she rolled around a little excitedly: "I didn't expect such an old and stubborn father to read this kind of book. It seems that my previous prejudices were too deep."

But from the few words just now, it can be understood that this book seems to be about a place with a very high level of secrecy, and ordinary people have no way to get specific information.

Melissa lay on the bed and closed her eyes. After a while, she opened her eyes again and got up, turning on her personal computer.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a bookstore... At most, the owner of the bookstore is very powerful. If that's the case, I won't try to kill myself."

She reached out to condense the ether, forming a key.

"The key to the database - access authority - level I."

Ether, the bridge between the real and the unreal.

The key comes into contact with the webpage, opening a brand new interface, and a huge database is in front of you.

Melissa clasped her hands together: "Thank you, Mom."

Then browse and query these files.

Her mother was also one of the great knights of brilliance before she was alive. She had the database authority of the Secret Ritual Tower and left her account number to her.

The existence of this account is reasonable and public as her mother's expectation of her, but so far, Melissa has not used it for anything.

Of course, if something was done, the records in the database would be updated instantly, and the knight's daughter, Melissa, would probably become a traitor, Melissa.

"Ah! I found it! Bookstore!"

Melissa hugged her knees excitedly, staring at the information on the screen with bright eyes.

She looked at it for a while, and murmured: "Friendly? In this case, I can go and have a look..."

Melissa made a decision, turned off the computer, and saw milk on the table out of the corner of her eye.

"Humph."

She reached for the glass and drank it down.

...

Wilde is taking notes with his quill.

The lights were dim.

He took off half of his mask, revealing his completely destroyed hideous cheeks.

The other half of the mask has completely grown together with the flesh and blood, becoming a part of it.

Although his appearance was so terrifying, his seriousness now reduced the scary atmosphere a little.

What Wilde had in front of him was his unpublished works that he got from Lin Jie.

After this period of research, he has sorted out almost three notebooks!

"Really, the breadth of knowledge is as vast as the sea of ​​smoke! The depth is as mysterious as the valley! You are indeed Mr. Lin!"

Wilde sighed, put down the pen, picked up the notes he wrote and started the final arrangement.

After studying and researching, he has already understood the main idea of ​​this "Corpse Eating Canon Rites".

This book mainly records the important ceremonies and ceremonies of this sect called the Corpse Eater.

In these ceremonies and ceremonies, what materials are needed, how to process and mix them, and finally become sacrifices.

From Wilde's current rough summary, it can be seen that most of these materials are corpses, and the methods of processing include bloodletting, chopping, skinning, or burning at the stake, and devouring internal organs, which is very cruel, terrifying, and chilling.

Even a dark wizard like Wilde was a bit unbearable.

However, under this crazy appearance, it is strangely compatible with reason.

In this book, there is no doubt that it contains a very large sacrificial system.

With a fixed time accurate to the date, different laws of time and space, and strict procedures, each sacrifice has its own meaning and contains a part of this civilization.

"If "Words of the Devil" is the tip of the iceberg, where you can see the leopard, then "Corpse Canon" finally let me see a small aspect of this terrifying and terrible lost civilization!"

Wilde put the mask back on, showing a fascinated look, and said in a low voice: "This is too great, so charming... All this is thanks to Mr. Lin, I have prepared a gift, he will definitely like it. "
