The previous strange situations and inexplicable sounds, the boiling of blood, and the heat of the inheritance pendant all made Hilbert's heart beat fast.
Turning to the first page of the cover, the Chakus family emblem of a lion head biting a gem came into view.
“Roar~”
A sound like an auditory hallucination echoed in my ears.
Hilbert's heartbeat instantly increased to its limit.
This is definitely an extremely important lost item of the Chakus family!
Even! It has a vital connection with the family bloodline power and the awakening of magic power!
He was now a little unable to control his mentality and wanted to go back immediately, but he resisted the urge to flip through the book right away and closed the page and put it away.
Fox and the other two newcomers arrived at the bookstore a few seconds late.
"Captain, Captain, what did you find?!"
All three of them were on alert, forming a triangular defensive posture, occupying the offensive and defensive corner of the bookstore. Fox had even signaled to the soldiers who were looking at him from a distant sentry post.
When Hilbert came back to his senses after putting away his book, he saw this scene and quickly stopped it.
"It's okay, it's okay. I found something that my family had lost, and I got a little excited for a moment. There are no monsters, and there's no emergency."
Although he lost his composure in front of the newcomer, Hilbert was in a very good mood at the moment, and he had the illusion that he was close to regaining the family's glory.
There was no other choice, so Fox had to go to the British outpost in person to explain the situation and explain that it was a false alarm.
The inspection had to continue. As he walked along the road, Hilbert's steps unconsciously became lighter.
Looking at the three newcomers, they all look pleasing to the eye.
"You guys just reacted very quickly and handled the situation very well, which is rare for a first-time mission. Well, you deserve an extra point for that reaction."
Add one point? Wouldn't that make it at least 7 points?
The three newcomers immediately became excited. They heard that many people could only get a passing score of 6 points at most when performing a mission for the first time, and nearly half of them even failed. They would slowly make up for it in the next few times.
7 points not only means more points can be used to make up for the average score difference, but also represents a high starting point.
At least if you say it out loud, you’ll feel proud!
As for getting more than 8 points, they dare not even think about it. The captain may add one point based on his mood and their performance, but he will never let the score be inflated.
Zhao Kai naturally didn't find any problems. There was no other monster in the entire refuge area except the parasitic host captured by the military.
On the way back, led by Fox and his two companions, the six newcomers in the back row were all filled with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.
The first mission was a complete success, so there should be no problem passing.
The driver Zhao Kai in the front row once again played the real Need for Speed.
“Woo~Woo…”
The vehicle's engine roared wildly all the way, the scenery outside the window quickly receded, and the wind blowing in through the open window seemed to be level 12.
Qin Xiaoxia, who was sitting on the roof of the car, couldn't help but twitch his lips. As the big boss of Shuguang, he had witnessed Shuguang's speeding gang this time.
"Hilbert, what are you holding in your hand?"
It was rare that Zhao Kai could still pay attention to Hilbert's actions while driving like this.
Back in the car, Hilbert couldn't hold back any longer and took out the black book as soon as he left the shelter.
Zhao Kai was a friend he was relatively familiar with, so he did not hide it even though there was a new person in the car.
"The important ancient book lost by the Chakus family..."
As soon as he took out the book, his blood immediately began to heat up, and the pendant on his chest also became hot.
Looking at the magic pattern on the cover, Hilbert continued softly.
"The Cage and the Book of Oaths."
This tone can easily lead people to misunderstand that he knows the book very well, but in fact Hilbert himself knows nothing about the book.
Zhao Kai felt a little strange to have a book with such a name, but after all, it was an important ancient book of the Chakus family, so he did not ask any more questions.
Hilbert had already turned the page of the book. He remembered that there was a strange sound before, and he also wanted to understand what "Kingsmer" was.
The whole book was filled with magic patterns, which made Hilbert look very exhausted.
"Kingsmy holds the oath...Children of the Chakus family...Watch out...what...power...what..."
Hilbert felt a bit of a headache as some of the magic patterns were rather unfamiliar. As a person who relied on memorization to understand the magic patterns, he was not unfamiliar with some of the symbols, but it was difficult for him to understand the meaning of this combination.
After reading for a while, I felt depressed and couldn't continue to interpret it.
At this time, the inheritance pendant on the chest was getting hotter and hotter, and a faint smell of burning appeared. The eight people in the car had extremely sharp sense of smell, and they immediately turned their attention to Hilbert.
The latter hurriedly pulled the pendant out, but a charred hole had been left on his clothes.
"Wow, the temperature is so high, can you feel it?"
Zhao Kai couldn't help but complain.
"I just felt the pendant was hot, but I didn't expect it to be so high... at least it didn't cause me any burning sensation."
The clothes were all burnt. Even Hilbert would have had his skin burned at this temperature.
He looked at his chest, nothing was wrong, not even a bit red.
Wait! How did this pendant become like this?
The pendant in his hand, which was emitting high temperature, had lost its original roughness. Some old and dull places had become extremely bright, and every strand of mane on the lion's head seemed so vivid.
The appearance is still the same, but it is completely different from the original.
"So, your name is Hilbert."
When Hilbert was surprised by the change of the pendant, the hoarse voice sounded again. This time he did not make a fuss because he already knew that the source of the voice was the book.
And judging from the reactions of the other people in the car, apart from being curious about his pendant, they probably didn't hear the sound.
"What on earth does Kingsmead mean?"
He asked about his previous doubts, but he didn't expect the voice to respond immediately.
"You don't know Kingsmead?"
The voice was full of surprise and a strange emotion that was hard to describe, but soon the second sentence came out.
"Kingsmere is the special Lionheart sword of the Chakus family."
The traditional Lionheart Sword is a typical medieval cross sword, the most famous of which is the cross-handled sword of the Crusader Knights.
Hilbert had also read the "Secret History of the Association" and knew that several generations of Lionheart Barons were proficient in the two-handed cross sword, but even the "Secret History of the Association" did not record the name of the sword. The description of the sword was "suspected to be lost, and the specific details need to be asked to the direct descendants of the Chakus family."
Hilbert also thought that the sword must have been lost.
"So this is the name of the lost sword?"
"Hilbert, are you talking to this book?"
Zhao Kai was a little surprised. Although there were many magical things in the association, he had never heard of having a conversation with a book.
"Lost? Haha, lost?"
Hilbert nodded towards Zhao Kai, and the people in the car subconsciously kept quiet to avoid disturbing him.
It was time, the hoarse voice sounded again, as if trying to hold back a laugh.
“Isn’t Kingsmee in your hands? Kuhan probably never dreamed that his offspring would become like this, hahahaha…”
Hilbert's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Kuhan was the first Baron Lionheart, and the Lionheart Sword...
Looking at the pendant which is always kept in high temperature, is this the Lionheart Sword of the Chakus family?
"Hilbert, you don't want to be an unworthy descendant of the Chakus family, do you? You can't understand the magic pattern? Let me help you interpret this book of oaths! I can feel that with your burning family bloodline power, you will surely revitalize the Chakus family. Let me help you, just like I helped Kuhan!"
The voice was extremely sincere, and even carried a kind of care from an elder to a younger person. Hilbert couldn't help but breathe heavily after hearing it. Everything that happened today really made him feel hopeful.
Although no one had ever mentioned it to him, Hilbert could feel that when he was in the Silent Knight training camp, when he was on a mission, and when many people in the association knew his last name was Chakus, they all had special expectations of him.
Even when he was in the training camp, he could feel that the leader of the Knights, Baru, had paid special attention to him for a period of time.
But as the inheritor of the title of Baron Lionheart, although he performed better than many people, he was only at an upper-middle level. Others might be able to be proud of themselves, but he could not.
While enjoying the pride of being respected by the Chakus family, the torment of being so ordinary no matter how hard you try is even more painful.
Hilbert had felt Baru's slightly disappointed eyes, experienced the admiration of those who were uninformed, and more than once he had clenched his fists and pinched his palms until they bled.
The words "What should I do?" were about to be uttered in my mouth.
“Sizzle…”
"hiss!!"
The pendant suddenly became even hotter, causing Hilbert to feel a slight pain.
"Look! Kingsmead has sensed your determination! Hilbert, the hope of the Chakus family is in your hands!"
