CH 54

The second thing Rode did after feeling refreshed was to go to the small house in front of him.

The black altar had given him a powerful soul eye, so this building should have some use.

Rode walked into the small house along the steps.

The room was empty, with only a stone platform at the front and a bookshelf on the left.

The stone platform was filled with tools of all sizes, and the tool cabinets were either open or closed, making it look very messy.

The bookshelf was empty except for one book.

Rode went to the stone platform first.

The stone platform was large and occupied the top of the entire small house. However, strangely, he could not move any of the tools and cabinets on it, as if they were fixed in place.

After studying for a long time, Rode had no clue and could only turn around to the bookshelf and take down the only book on it.

The book was very large, and he had to hold it with both hands to pick it up. The deep purple hard shell was engraved with strange patterns, and the words seemed to be composed of stars, making the whole book full of an epic feeling.

Rode tried hard to recognize its meaning.

"Intelligence, total, lack, recorded things..."

This was the standard dream language, using an artistic writing style, which greatly increased the difficulty of his recognition.

"Knowledge...the book of idiots?"

Bang!

Just as Rode was about to open the book and see how the idiotic magic worked, the book suddenly closed and hit his hand heavily, falling to the ground.

"Ouch! What the hell is this!"

Rode was startled and almost drew his gun to shoot, but the book lay quietly on the ground and did not attack him.

What was going on? Did the book have a spring inside?

Rode stretched out his red hand that was slapped and gently touched it.

No response.

He touched it again.

Rode clearly saw that the book moved a little on its own, as if it was very disdainful of him.

Was this book alive?

"Hey, can you hear me?" Rode asked cautiously.

But the book did not respond.

Rode asked a few more times, but still got no answer.

He approached carefully and saw the text on the cover of the book shining, as if hinting at something.

Rode frowned and looked at it for a long time, finally realizing.

"The Book of Knowledge!"

As soon as he said this, the text returned to its normal appearance, and the light faded, revealing a cold and aloof feeling, like a proud queen.

Rode was a little speechless. What the hell was this? You're just a book, right? I just mispronounced the name. Even if I called Lily as Vivian, there's no need to act like this.

Rode carefully picked up the book, and this time there was no abnormality. But when he opened it, every page inside was blank.

A book without words?

Or did he need to fulfill some conditions to display the content?Rode tossed and turned for a long time, but still couldn't find any clues.

He felt very frustrated and muttered to himself, "How do I use it?"

The next moment, Rode suddenly saw two characters appear on the blank page of the book.

【Ask】

The handwriting was thin and slightly sloppy, seeming a bit impatient.

Rode's eyes widened in an instant.

Ask?

So, all I have to do is ask, and it will answer my name in writing on the page?

This is a great treasure!

A strong sense of joy emerged from his heart. With such a treasure to help him, it was like having a portable version of the dragon and phoenix.

Hahaha, take off is right in front of me.

I am indeed the destined son of destiny!

Rode cleared his throat and decided to start with the question at hand.

"How should this stone platform be used?"

A line of text quickly appeared on the page.

"Ignite... um, the Tears of Burning on the stone platform?"

Rode looked up and saw the three-pronged metal candlestick on the left side of the stone platform, with three candles of varying lengths inserted into it.

Rode immediately understood, "Oh, this word means candles. Ignite the candles to activate the stone platform?"

"How do I ignite them?"

【Add Ignition Essence】

Rode breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he had to add his soul.

But with Ignition Essence, it was simple. Ignition Essence was the most common commodity in the royal city.

Rode didn't immediately go find Ignition Essence, but continued to ask:

"Who is the murderer of all members of the Redstone Village transfer team? Where is he? Where is the ironclad evidence proving this?"

【Please ask a question related to knowledge.】

Rode was slightly disappointed. This was not an all-knowing book of the gods, but a book of knowledge with automatic indexing.

But that was enough.

What he lacked most now was knowledge, especially knowledge in the dream world.

There were too many unknowns in the dream world. If he could figure them all out, his growth rate would increase significantly, his safety would be greatly guaranteed, and the date of ruling the world would be greatly advanced.

Thinking of this, Rode immediately asked the question he was most concerned about now:

"How do you ignite the stars in the obelisk?"

The book of knowledge did not disappoint, and a large new text appeared on the page quickly.

Fortunately, Rode had brought books like "Ancient Language" into the dream world for convenience.

Rode now had a certain foundation, and he could barely understand it by comparing it with the book.

【To ignite a new soul star, you need enough firewood, a large amount of spirituality, and a complete special soul】

Rode was moved, and continued to ask, "What does a special soul mean?"

【A soul with a source】"What is spirituality?"

【The elements that make up a spirit, only the human soul possesses a large amount of living spirituality.】

"What does firewood refer to?"

【The soulless body of the soul, a part of the soul.】

As expected!

Rode understood it almost.

When he ignited the second star 【Cold Blue】 , he used five dust-like souls, a doomsday cultist's soul, and an invading monster's soul.

Rode remembered very clearly that after killing the invading monster and obtaining its soul, the text that appeared on it was:

【Twisted Demon Meat Soul】

【The soul of a part of the dark side of the Twisted Demon Meat】

【Black blood wraps around the corpse and dead soul, this is the essence that falls off from a greater existence, and it forms a demon that floats in the river of eternal death for countless years.】

Obviously, the "special soul" is the soul of the invading monster.

Only on its body, it may have the 【Source】 mentioned in the knowledge book.

Spirituality should be provided by the soul of the doomsday cultist.

Firewood should be provided by both of them.

So.

If Rode wants to ignite a new soul now, he needs to get the soul of the doomsday cultist and the most critical soul that possesses the 【Source】.

"Are there any other monsters besides invading monsters that have the 【Source】?"

【Yes.】

"Where are they?"

Search tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w for the original.

【Not a knowledge question.】

Damn!

This book is too rigid. When I become the king of the world, I must teach it a lesson.

It seems that the permission to come and go freely from the academy is much more important than I thought. I must strive to get the "Kimberly Star" medal.

Rode set his first goal and asked again, "How to improve the position of the star?"

【Need to reach the state of extreme burning, need powerful soul firewood.】

"How to obtain soul firewood?"

【Make it on the stone platform, need corresponding elements.】

Okay!

The answers to the two most critical questions are known.

Rode firmly remembered every word and said again, "Tell me everything about the stars."

This time there are more words.

The big book wrote several pages densely, and it was not finished.

Not only is the number of words huge, but there are also many unfamiliar terms and complex grammar linkages.

Rode quickly flipped to the last page, and the last sentence he saw was:

【Part of the knowledge has been lost.】

Forget it, I'll study it slowly when I have time.

Knowing the key content is enough.

Now the most important thing is to get the ignition material, activate the stone platform, and see how soul firewood is made.

After all, once the star is ignited, it will continue to consume the soul, unless the position reaches the "Eternal Flame."Rode took a glance at the Washington Monument. In just a few hours, the "Frigid Green" had dropped three levels from extreme combustion to sustained combustion, and its intensity had dropped from the highest level of 26 to 15. It took nearly 800 souls to achieve this!

If the position of the "Frigid Green" could be raised to "Eternal Fire," then its state would be "constant burning," and so many souls would not be wasted.

Waste is shameful. It was so difficult to cultivate the black mist, and he wasted it like this. It was exhausting to work in the fields at noon, wouldn't his conscience hurt?

Rode expressed his pain. Maximizing every resource was his goal, and waste was unacceptable.

The position must be raised quickly.

Before leaving the dreamland, Rode asked a final question.

"What kind of qualifications does one need to become a king?"

The blank book shook, but no new content appeared.

Rode poked the book's butt. "Did it crash?"

Suddenly, his finger hurt as if it had been bitten.

"Ouch!"

Rode pulled back his hand, and the book fell to the ground, closing itself and facing up. The patterns on the cover changed, and they were connected horizontally, like an open mouth.

Above the mouth, several words were formed by the patterns.

Rode looked at it for a long time.

"A black crystal full of energy? What does it mean?"

The patterns changed, forming new words.

"Knowledge outside the dreamland requires payment. You are the master of the dreamland, not the master of the universe."

After reading it, Rode was very unhappy.

"What do you mean? Don't you understand the phrase 'Thirty years in Hexi, thirty years in Hedong'? When I become the master of the universe, I will still come to ask you questions?"

The book flipped over, and the book's butt faced him.

Rode was furious. "Fine, I'll give it to you."

He intertwined his thumbs and formed a lightning symbol.

A strong sense of falling appeared, and when his vision returned, he was sitting naked on the toilet in the bathroom, with the sound of rushing water and steam around him.

But what scared Rode was the loud banging outside the door.

"Hurry up, put in more effort! The person might go into shock!"

Before Rode could say anything, the door exploded with a loud bang, and Kassan, with her dazzling golden hair, rushed in first.

"Rode-"

Rode quickly withdrew his gesture with lightning speed and raised both hands.

But from Kassan's perspective, Rode was naked, sitting on the toilet with his hands raised, about to pounce on her!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"The scream that could destroy the world instantly hit Rode's eardrums, followed by the iron fist from the girl hitting him in the face. The tremendous impact force caused him to break the toilet he was sitting on.

Kassan turned around and ran, knocking all the staff from the administrative office outside the door.

Damn it!

Rode saw stars and felt dizzy, feeling like he had been seriously injured in some parts.

You talk about giving birth every day, but it turns out you're just a decorative pillow. All talk and no action!
