Chapter 63: The Truth

In the dining room, you could see several servants standing behind Desmond; there were even Laura and Annie among the servants.

Since the shop's incident, Laura becomes quieter and only shows her emotions in Desmond's front if Desmond gets hurt, or something terrible happens to him. Moreover, her expression was almost the same as Annie, who looked cold.

"So, hasn't my parent sent a message yet?"

Laura then stepped forward and answered, "Not yet, young master."

Seeing Laura, who has changed drastically, Desmond sighed. " It's okay, Laura, occasionally show your expression don't be like Annie. "

Hearing this, Annie's mouth twitched.

She saw Laura, whose expression did not change at all even after being advised by Desmond. "Yes, young master, I will try."

While eating his food, Desmond noticed that his strength had only increased a little, and it also seemed that he didn't have time to train his energy.

My time is soon to go to the academy, but is it enough with this kind of strength?

And also… Spell List.

It seems that there is no more choice.

Apart from asking Clementine for help, Desmond has been looking for a plant that can heal his hands for six months, but all of that to no avail.

Maybe I should try checking out the underground.

But while he was buying some potions, he heard that some herbs were only in the outer beast territory that could heal all kinds of defects.

Initially, he was interested in going into Beast territory, but he recalled several beasts that were quite dangerous for his current state; he could only delay his intention.

I hope there something worth behind that door.

Desmond believed it was because in the past, when he entered the underground, he saw some ancient runes, and this underground seemed to be made to train someone.

Even though it's just gambling, there's nothing wrong with betting other than standing still without certainty, sigh.

-Night at Desmond's house-

Desmond was seen staring at the moon shining at night through his bedroom window.

"It is time."

He took the sword hanging beside the window and hooked it to his hip. After that, Desmond chanted a light distortion spell that made his body disappear using the moonlight.

…

Underground.

After reaching underground, Desmond slowly advanced, and as usual, fireballs came attacking him.

This time he only needed a little movement to dodge; with his agility already reaching the standards of a 1st class swordsman, these fireballs were no longer a challenge or a place to develop.

As he arrived at the familiar door, this time, Desmond tried to push open the door and ...

* creak *

Desmond needed only a little strength, but the door had slid.

This he can do because he can focus his strength on the one hand, like chanting a spell, Desmond can also increase his left hand's attack power.

With all his might, Desmond pushed open the door until it fell backward.

* crash *

The first sight he saw was total darkness, without any lighting, unlike the passage leading to this door.

"Hmm ..."

He chanted a ward spell, which caused a small ball to fly around Desmond's body, serving to give off light.

"Blood ritual?"

He saw a pentagram and some ancient books on the bookshelf, and there were some human remains and several other carcasses.

Advancing slowly, he saw that the human carcasses turned out to be slightly different from other humans; the body had long ear bones.

"Elf?"

Desmond could recognize a race of elves who were famous for their beauty with long ears and a height taller than that of humans.

Passing through the same elf's corpses several times, Desmond finally arrived in front of the bookshelf. He saw the remains of an elf who was holding a book.

Taking the book held by the Elf's corpse, this book title was 'Sacrifice for Greater Life.' The cover of this book is the same pentagram currently drawn in the center of the room.

"Is this necromancer?"

Opening the book, Desmond saw that it contained only blank pages, only page numbers at the bottom.

"What the fuck?"

Just as he thought this book was useless and wanted to throw it away, a system notification suddenly appeared and blocked his view.

[Detected Knowledge Energy]

[Do you want to absorb it Y / N?]

"Knowledge energy? Is there such a thing? "

[

System conclusion: Taken from one of the books the host has read entitled 'The History of the Energy Saint World.'

Knowledge energy is someone's memory or experience placed in a book, but the person who finds this book must meditate to detect the remnants of the knowledge he has left behind.

This includes how the Wizard / Witch leaves the experience only for people who want to be like them and prevents the common man from becoming a Wizard / Witch.

]

"I see, it's a kind of inheritance, huh. But why have the previous homeowners never been here?

He then saw a door to the room that required a 1st class swordsman equivalent to open it and several fireballs that were still active, blocking the path to this door.

"Ah, maybe not 'never' but afraid to continue ..."

Desmond didn't accept the knowledge right away, he turned the book over again and searched the last page of the book, and he found one word ...

"Dragon Slayer."

It is a word recorded at the end of the book.

"Looks like maybe this has something to do with the dragon beast era. Hmm ..."

After considering the worst that could happen to his brain, Desmond finally made a decision.

"At least, if this knowledge attacks me, there will still be a system that can hold it back.

System, activate defense mode. "

System Defense Mode: Activated

Host will not be able to use the help of spells, maps, and task lists while this mode is active, but instead, the system will protect all kinds of energy that will hurt the inside of the host's body.

]

"Yeah, yeah, I know, and this is also the reason I don't like this mode."

The map screen that was usually seen in the top right corner of Desmomd's view disappeared. He also felt all control over the spell disappear.

It is like a river that usually flows suddenly in a weir by something so that the water from the river is blocked at the dam's point.

"But fortunately, I already figured this out by learning the swordsman skills.

Yes. "

* woosh *

As if being sucked in by a tornado, Desmond's eyes began to blur; he closed his eyes, trying to reduce the effect.

"Hooh, at least someone still receives this knowledge."

* cough * * cough *

Desmond heard someone's voice and finally opened his eyes again. He saw that his body was sitting on the wooden floor, and there was also a table in front of him.

The image in front of him gradually changed from an old room full of carcasses and pentagrams into a beautiful classroom. Not only that, but this room also seemed to have enlarged from its original size.

"Good, a fine young man, I hope you can accept this knowledge."
