It was a sunny day, and the scorching sun slightly dispelled the cold of winter.

Arnold was buried today, as he wished, next to the grave of his childhood friend, Ajin.

Arnold had no wife and no children. So the only relatives and friends who saw him off were his brothers and sisters. His relatives did not know that Arnold was a powerful thief who roamed Orange and was also known as the "Great Thief Kurd".

If nothing unexpected happens, no one will know this secret except Luther.

"Today marks the end of a generation of thieves." In a villa outside Pompeii, Luther stood in a room and looked into the distance through the window.

Of course, I couldn’t see very far, because in front of the window was another villa.

This is a residential area.

But Luther still used this to send off the great thief Kurd, and he felt a little sad in his heart. He didn't expect it, he didn't expect it, Luther really didn't expect it.

The great thief Kurd was actually a man named Arnold who was born in Pompeii.

Luther's contact with Arnold was not long, and his understanding of Arnold was just what Arnold said.

Although it was a short conversation, Luther was able to analyze many clues from it . Arnold is the thief Kurd.

At the beginning, Luther wanted to capture Kurd and obtain the Book of Sages, but he didn't expect that the thief Kurd was actually from Pompeii. No wonder he couldn't be found, it turned out that he was hiding under his nose.

Secondly, the Book of Sages was being searched for by a huge force, and Arnold died because of it.

In addition, Arnold's words may have a deeper purpose.

Why did Arnold send the Sage's Book all the way to Pompeii? Perhaps he hoped that Pompeii, who obtained the Sage's Book, would grow up to be able to fight against that huge force.

I also hope that Pompey can eliminate that huge force and avenge Arnold.

Because of the existence of the Book of Sages, Pompeii cannot coexist with that huge force.

What's even more troublesome is that Luther still doesn't know what that huge force is called or how much combat power it has.

Nothing is known.

This book of sages is both an opportunity and a big pitfall for Luther.

"He made such a plan before he died. He is indeed a great thief, Kurd." Luther was full of admiration. Then, Luther turned around and picked up a book on the desk.

A blue book, square and plain.

But no matter how hard Luther turned the pages, he could not open the book. When he called out the name, the book would respond.

"Hey, Book of Sages." Luther tried again.

"What do you want me to do?" A face suddenly appeared on the front of the Book of Sages. This face was round and golden, without eyebrows or nostrils, only two eyes and a mouth.

But he showed impatience very vividly, and his mouth moved.

A book speaks.

Even though Luther had seen this many times, he still felt a little terrified. It was fucking amazing. In fact, for a moment, Luther was a little surprised.

It has been a long time since Luther came to this world, but he still hasn't discovered that he has any golden fingers.

It’s said in many novels that as a time traveler, a golden finger is a benefit.

Until now Luther has almost given up, well, I am the poorest time traveler in the world and I have no benefits at all.

Until this sage's book fell from the sky.

A book that can talk? Don't worry about other things first, let's see if this is our golden finger. But unfortunately, Luther still can't figure out what this book is.

This book only talks about this uncle and this uncle.

For example, now.

Luther asked again, "What is your origin? What is your role?"

"The sages lead mankind out of darkness and shine forever." The Book of Sages suddenly looked very serious and said this.

From a literal sense, this book of sages should belong to the "sage", and this sage should have done something extraordinary and guided the awakening of mankind.

However, it is puzzling that Luther read many books during this period, but did not find a single word describing the sages and the Book of Sages.

Of course, it may be that the existence of this sage is too distant, so distant that no one in human history today remembers him and there are no books that record this sage.

Just like in Chinese history, when Sima Qian wrote Records of the Grand Historian, he could only rely on speculation and imagination about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but he dared not comment on the more distant Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Are there any monsters like those in the Shan Hai Jing in Chinese history?

Just like this sage now, too long ago, too ancient.

Let’s get back to the present.

What the fuck are you.

This time Luther really wanted to fart, so he asked this question.

"What the hell are you?"

The Book of Sages answered solemnly: "The sages lead mankind out of darkness and illuminate the ages."

Look, this book seems to be intelligent, but in fact it is more like artificial intelligence that only speaks according to the program.

Of course, Luther also guessed that this situation might be caused by his failure to activate the Book of Sages.

A hot sage's book will cause the Pompeii family to face a potential threat from a huge force.

The end result is that Luther won't use it.

It’s a rip off.

It's such a rip-off.

It's like sitting on a mountain of treasures, only to find that there are no humans left in this world. A mountain of treasures without humans is just a pile of shiny stones.

"It's a huge loss. Should I return this Book of Sages to Baron Baron?" This thought inevitably arose in Luther's mind.

But Luther was unwilling to give up.

"Try again." Luther gritted his teeth, took a brazier, and lit a fire.

"Oh, it's hot, it's hot, you want to burn me to death?"

The book of wise men is called Tao.

Luther changed his method, brought a basin of water, and put the Book of Sages in it.

"Wow, I feel so comfortable."

The Book of Sages showed a look of enjoyment.

It is invulnerable to water and fire, and can speak different words and make different expressions. This Sage's Book does not look like artificial intelligence.

Luther finally gritted his teeth and used his ultimate weapon.

Blood oath to recognize the master.

Following the routine in the novel, Luther placed the Book of Sages on the desk, then took out a knife and gestured on his fingers.

I'm not afraid of pain.

That time, Luther faced the poisonous acid lizard and almost died on the spot, but he didn't even cry out in pain.

Luther just thought it was a bit stupid to do so?

Blood oath?

This scene is so fucking bloody.

But Luther still decided to be stupid because of the temptation and call of the golden finger.

So Luther gritted his teeth and cut his middle finger, squeezing out a few drops of bright red blood, which fell on the Book of Sages.

These drops of blood fell on the Sage's Book and there was no change at first. Luther was a little disappointed, but then, as if it were a living thing, a few drops of blood flowed into the mouth of the Sun Face.

Sun Face smacked his lips, and the blood disappeared, as if he had eaten it.

Then the expression on Sun's face became extremely serious.

"Bodman's blood!"

Haha I forgot to update, I was shocked.
