Chapter 567: The truth is revealed (Monthly ticket bonus!)
"Oh? I wonder how you plan to distribute it?"
Davill turned his head slightly to glance at Lolita and found that Lolita did not respond to Burnley and Alden's proposal. Instead, she looked at the crowd from time to time, obviously looking for someone, so he smiled and asked Burnley and the others.
"We were the first to discover this library, and we also spent a lot of effort to kill this hellhound and several ghouls, so we need to divide the books on this floor into three floors."
Burnley looked at everyone intently with sharp eyes, speaking as he scanned.
"What else?"
Daville made no comment, waiting for Burnley's next words.
To be honest, although there are many books on this floor, they are definitely not as valuable as those in the study on the second floor. After all, the precious books are what Wizard Nahum values the most, and they are definitely placed in the study.
"Then all the books in the study on the second floor will belong to us! The rest you can distribute among yourselves."
"no!"
"impossible!"
Before Daville could say anything, the people around him disagreed and spoke out in opposition, causing the crowd to start to riot.
Adela, Lachi and their group were also among them, and Lachi excitedly voiced his objection.
…
"Haha! Found it! Sorcerer Nehum's Manual of the Dead is actually here! I'm going to be rich!"
While people downstairs were arguing noisily about how to distribute the benefits of the library, Valad, who had sneaked into the study on the second floor and kept searching, suddenly laughed out loud after getting something.
Then he took out a thick book from a secret compartment in the desk.
The cover of this book is made of special animal skin, and the corners are edging with silver-white metal. Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that this is definitely an extraordinary book.
And in the center of this book there are a few large gold-plated characters: Manual of the Undead!
It was when Valad saw these large gold-plated words that he couldn't help but burst into laughter with excitement.
"We have to go back quickly, otherwise if others see us, they will definitely get suspicious!"
After laughing happily a few times, Valad immediately stopped laughing and prepared to leave the study.
Now that he has the Manual of the Dead, the next thing he needs to do is to hide it, then quietly bring it back to the academy and ask Dewell's father, the vice president of the Magicians Association, to help find a buyer.
Thinking of this, Valad quickly walked around the desk and paced towards the study door, wanting to get back downstairs quickly.
But just as Valad stepped out of the study door, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
"Fire Shield!"
Valad also had many years of combat experience. The moment this crisis arose, he raised his staff and activated the fire shield stored in it without hesitation.
"boom!"
Sure enough, at the moment when Valad's fire shield technique was completed, a huge fireball as big as a washbasin shot at the fire shield in front of him, and a burst of flames broke out.
"As expected of an intermediate magician!"
Seeing his fireball being blocked instantly, although Gervis had expected it, he was still surprised by Valad's reaction.
"Who are you!"
After Valad blocked Gervis's fireball, he quickly retreated to the back, trying to create some distance between himself and Gervis, asking in surprise as he retreated.
"Kill your people!"
There was no way Gervis would let Valad distance himself from him, so he immediately chased after him empty-handed and released two fireballs at Valad in succession.
"How is this possible? Without a staff, how can you cast magic so quickly?!"
Seeing two fireballs shooting towards him again, Valad was not panicked. His fire shield could at least block four or five such fireballs.
He was just surprised at Gervis's casting speed. He had never heard of Gervis' casting speed without a magic wand, and he had not seen Gervis chant the spell yet.
"Haha! The dead don't need to know so much!"
Gervis continued to sneer, with the murderous intent in his eyes not concealed at all.
"You are too arrogant. Even if you cast magic very quickly, you are still just an apprentice magician after all!"
At this time, Valad finally retreated to the window of the study. Only then did he stop and looked at Gervis jokingly.
The reason why he did not fight back immediately was that his years of combat experience told him that he must find a way out for himself before fighting with others, which was the safest way.
At this time, his retreat was behind him.
"The wrath of the God of Fire! Die! Apprentice Mage!"
Valad waved the magic staff in his hand and launched a counterattack against Gervis who was rushing towards him at high speed.
Then, a huge flame suddenly appeared in front of Valad. The flame was like that emitted by a high-pressure flamethrower. A stream of hot flames shot towards Gervis quickly and urgently.
"Look who's going to die!"
Gervis had been on guard against Valad's attack. When the scorching flames shot towards him, a faint white light shone from his body, and his fighting spirit was exerted to the extreme.
Then, Gervis suddenly dodged to the side and avoided the terrifying flames at an incredible speed.
After dodging the flames, Gervis' right hand reached behind his head and he instantly pulled out the blood-red sword.
"Critical strike with one sword!"
puff!
There was a sound of flesh being cut, and Gervis's Crimson Moon slashed fiercely on Valad's shoulder, directly from the shoulder to the chest.
"How is this possible..."
Valad's eyes widened, and he only had time to utter a few words in shock, then his head tilted and he fell to the ground, never to make a sound again, and died with his eyes open.
"Actually, I'm still a Silver Knight! Go with peace of mind!"
Gervis said something to Valad, who died with his eyes open, and then leaned over to search Valad's body.
The reason why he didn't cut Valad in half was that he was worried about destroying the things Valad hid on his body.
After groping for a while, Gervis found several bottles of potions and a thick book from Valad.
"Handbook of the Dead?"
Looking at the book with a black cover and silver edging, Gervis didn't know its value yet.
However, when he saw Valad's smile as if he had won the first prize, Gervis knew that this was definitely a good thing, so he immediately put it into the space ring together with Valad's magic wand and several bottles of potion.
"Now that Valad is dealt with, let's look for my treasure first. After I find my treasure, I'll go and destroy that bastard Deville!"
Muttering to himself, Gervis opened his system panel and looked at the radar.
The radar showed that he was only five or six meters away from the red dot.
"On the bookshelf? Is it books again?"
Gervis was a little surprised that all the valuable things in this magician's palace were books.
"Which one is it?"
Although Gervis had always dreamed of getting equipment like the Crimson Moon, unfortunately since the red dot marked it as a treasure, he had no choice but to accept it even if it was a book.
When Gervis came to the bookshelf, he was a little troubled. There were four or five bookshelves around him with hundreds of books in total. How could he be sure which book represented the red dot?
Tap! Tap!
"Help! Help me!"
"Um?"
"Fuck, what the hell?"
Just as Gervis was struggling to find the treasure, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, followed by a loud cry for help.
When Gervis turned his head quickly, he saw a scene that surprised him.
Valad, who had just been killed by him and was silent, stood up intact and was running out of the study.
And he was running while shouting for help!
"Damn it! We can't let him get away!"
Gervis had just used both the fireball technique and his fighting spirit, which was all clearly seen by Valad.
If he runs away, Gerves will be in big trouble once the news leaks out.
Apart from anything else, his identity as Harry and that of Gervis would most likely be associated with each other, such as the enchanting woman Lolita.
Last time, she had obviously doubted herself, but in the end, she was only temporarily cleared of suspicion because her fighting spirit was hidden by the second stealth manual.
But once this news gets out, people will definitely think of me first.
Immediately, Gervis dared not think any more, and quickly cleared out several bookshelves beside him, put all the books into the space ring, and then immediately chased after Valad.
As for which book is the treasure, I will slowly figure out how to identify it when I get back.
When Gervis put away the books and chased after Valad, Valad had already run out of the study, still crying for help.
Valad was really scared today. He had just tasted the fear of death.
If he had not been so cautious over the years and had not used most of his assets to buy a scapegoat, he would have really died just now.
The substitute puppet is not a human thing, but comes from the orc sacrifice.
This is a fist-sized dummy. It is normal to carry it with you. Only when you are on the verge of death will this substitute puppet be activated.
It can use a magical power to make the puppet suffer damage and die in place of the master.
This thing is extremely rare and expensive even in the Orc King's Court, and Valad saw it by chance during an adventure. He finally spent a huge price to exchange for it, but he didn't expect that it really saved him.
However, the young man who was both a magician and a knight was too strange. So even though he came back to life quietly later, Valad did not dare to launch a sneak attack. Instead, he took the opportunity to escape when the young man was far away.
No matter how good the treasure is or how much money you have, it is only as long as you are alive that it belongs to you. Valad sees this very clearly.
Seeing that he was gradually running to the end of the corridor and could get support by just turning down the stairs, Valad finally relaxed a little.
After he came back to life, he did not choose to escape by jumping out of the window, simply because the second floor was too high from the ground, about seven or eight meters high.
And now Gervis didn't block the study door, so he simply chose to escape from the door. Now it seems that this choice was not wrong.
It was at this time that Gervis also rushed out from the study at a high speed, with a white light flashing on his body.
"Help! Someone from Deville and Burnley wants to kill me! He took the magic manual of the wizard Nahum!"
Valad instantly noticed the movement behind him, and his mood, which had just relaxed, became tense again, and his cries for help became more urgent.
He was also worried that the people downstairs would be left to die without help, so he shouted out something about the Handbook of the Dead.
I believe that with a precious book like the Manual of the Dead, the people downstairs will definitely react immediately and attack the strange young man behind.
After all, even if it wasn't for saving himself, Wizard Nehum's Handbook of the Undead alone was enough to drive people crazy.
…
“What’s that sound!”
When a group of people downstairs were arguing over how to distribute the books in the library, they suddenly heard a faint cry for help.
Whether it was Davil, Lolita, or Adela and Lucky in the crowd, they all heard the cry for help.
This palace was specially used for Neham to read, so the soundproofing was naturally very good, so when Gervis and Neham were fighting up there just now, no one noticed it at all.
Even the slightest noise was drowned out by the noisy quarreling below.
But now it was different. Valad had already run to the stairs, and his loud cry for help was naturally noticed by everyone.
Everyone who noticed something was wrong immediately shut their mouths. Suddenly, the entire first floor of the library became quiet, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen to what was going on.
"Help! Help me! Deweir, Burnley, someone is chasing me, and the Wizard Nahum's Handbook of the Dead is with him!"
Wow!
In an instant, everyone in the lobby on the first floor looked towards the corridor entrance in astonishment.
"What, Sorcerer Nahum's Handbook of the Dead?"
"It's actually the Handbook of the Dead. It's a priceless treasure!"
Suddenly everyone rushed towards the corridor entrance at high speed. No matter whether what Valad shouted was true or false, they were not going to let him go.
"Hurry up and save me! The Manual of the Dead is on the young man who is chasing me. I saw it with my own eyes!"
At this moment, Valad finally ran to the stairs on the first floor. If he was given a few more seconds, he would be able to come down safely.
Looking at the group of people rushing towards him in front of him, Valad was not afraid anymore, but felt more at ease.
"Valad, are you telling the truth?"
Burnley asked loudly for confirmation as he hurried over to Varade.
"Master Burnley, it's true. I saw it with my own eyes. This man is very strange. He..."
puff!
"Uh...how come it's so fast!"
Valad really thought he had escaped, and was even prepared to reveal the fact that Gervis possessed both fighting spirit and magic.
But when he was only seven or eight meters away from Burnley and others, he was suddenly pierced through the back by a long sword. The blood-red sword directly pierced through his back and came out from the left chest where his heart was.
Bang!
Blood was oozing from the corners of Valad's mouth, and his face still contained a look of joy that he was about to escape. But at this moment he was already dead and could not die any more. The substitute puppet could only be used once, so there was no possibility of him surviving this time.
puff!
Gervis took two steps forward and directly pulled out the Crimson Moon from Valad.
If I hadn't been quick-witted and thrown out the Crimson Moon as a flying sword, my secret might have been exposed.
However, looking at the nearly one hundred people in front of him, although Valad had been killed, Gervis's face was not good, because he had already sensed the murderous intent from the crowd.
"Who are you?"
"It's him? That shameless guy with his upper body naked!"
"It's this shameless bastard!"
Two in one! One chapter left!
It's over tonight! Go to bed early!
