book of old days

Chapter 25 Sean's Plan

Sean looked at Alhaz's frenzied expression, and listened to his almost second-year remarks, but he was speechless for a while.

Of course, he didn't intend to give up the book, let alone continue the summoning ceremony, he just didn't want to bring Alhaz to play with him anymore.

After these few days of observation, he was very sure of one thing - this guy Alhaz is a scumbag.

Although he has some knowledge of mysticism which is very useful, but his own bad personality greatly reduces his usable value. He works in various situations and is always unreliable at critical moments. Has a clear covetous heart.

He originally wanted to develop Alhaz into a reliable teammate and partner, but after a few days of cooperation, he quickly realized that this was not wise.

It's just that although he saw that Alhaz was a swindler, he didn't expect him to be so thorough that he did such a frenzied thing. completely intolerable.

It is a matter of ability to be unfavorable in doing things, but the behavior of threatening self-destruction now is a matter of attitude.

Before, he was still thinking about getting together and going away, and then parted ways, but now he realized that if this time bomb is not eliminated, it will be troublesome sooner or later. He doesn't think that Alhaz will obediently give up the book of the past , Be his university professor with peace of mind.

In case he was caught by the police, he didn't think that the other party would keep his mouth shut and not drag him into the water.

He stared at Alhaz's face for a while, then suddenly laughed.

"Hehehe, you still said that you are not crazy. Look at the crazy things you said just now. It seems that my decision is indeed correct. This book is a disaster. It has already made you fall into a pitiful state of insanity. Trying to force me to submit with such nonsense.

If I'm right, you hid your badge yourself, heh, I'm not that easy to be fooled.

But don't worry, this maddening book of curses will soon cease to be a problem, I just wanted to keep it sealed, but now I've changed my mind, I'm going to destroy it, burn it, let it Completely wiped out from this world, this book will only bring us disaster. "

Alhaz looked at Sean in disbelief, and said almost roaringly: "No, you can't do this! Don't you understand? From the moment we kidnapped little Lanster, there is no way to turn back."

Sean shook his head, "No, of course I can do this. I will burn it early tomorrow morning, and then continue to be my university professor. The matter will pass soon. Goodbye Alhaz, you will give Let me calm down at home, don't be blinded by greed."

Sean glanced at Alhaz with a sneer, turned around and opened the door and walked out.

Sean chose to go home directly, and went to a bookstore near the block along the way.

Dangdang, Sean knocked on the door of the bookstore, and a light lit up in the crack of the door. The small window on the door was opened, revealing the vigilant eyes of the bookstore owner, and he was relieved to see that it was Sean.

"Be rational, what is Professor Xiao En doing here so late?"

"Has the book I ordered arrived?"

"Of course, it was delivered just this afternoon. Are you in such a hurry? Why don't you wait until tomorrow..."

Sean shook his head: "I'm going to take a long trip tomorrow, and I plan to use this book for entertainment on the road. Of course, if you insist, I don't have to buy it, but it may take a long time for me to go. Wait until I come back. By then the book may no longer be needed.”

As soon as the boss heard that the business was going bad, he hurriedly opened the door and said, "Ah, please don't pay attention to what I said, come in, it's my honor to serve a respectable customer like you—but such unpopular academic books are not cheap , In order to get it, I deliberately found a bookseller I knew, and it was imported from a foreign country, and it took a lot of effort."

Sean smiled slightly, took out a ten-pound bill from his pocket and handed it over, "Is this money enough to make up for the energy you expended?"

Ten gold pounds is not a small amount of money, it is enough for a farmer to spend a year.

The owner of the bookstore immediately lost his grievances, and happily welcomed Sean in, and took out a large book with a thick cover from the back room: "Deciphering the Secret Words of Essia"

This is the summary of the research materials of the ancient Essian ruins by the scholars of Faris. The week is full of various inferences, technical summaries of academic research and semiotics. Sean flipped through a few pages, although most of the content is theoretical and speculation, but it is still a rare reference material, especially the photocopied pictures of the murals of the Essian ruins in the book. , at least he can theoretically interpret the middle part of the Book of the Old Ones.

"Professor Xiao En, I'm sorry to remind you that this kind of book is somewhat sensitive, and I don't want to cause trouble."

"Don't worry, no one but me will see this book—in fact, I haven't been here tonight at all."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Sean was about to leave when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a book on the shelf, and he took it off the shelf casually: "How much is this book?"

The bookstore owner took a look. It was a children's book that was not worth much. He had just made a lot of money, so he was very generous.

"Give it to you, it's just a hair extension."

"Thank you very much then."

Sean said, turned and left the bookstore.

When he got home, he immediately locked the door, lit the kerosene lamp, and began to pack his luggage.

He wasn't sure if Alhaz had actually left the badge in Little Lanster's room.

He wasn't sure whether the police in Sword Castle would find him in the end, but he wasn't going to stay and gamble.

Regardless of the truth, he planned to leave Sword Castle first, find a place to hide from the limelight, and study the ancient secrets in this old book by the way.

Considering that he was going to travel far, he chose a large suitcase.

Put the Book of the Old Days and the Water of Spirits in first, then put some clothes, a coat, several books "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Breton Language", "Deciphering the Illustrated Explanation of Essian Secret Language" and the first edition of " Biography of the King of Knights.

In addition to this, of course there is money. He took out bundles of banknotes and bags of gold and silver coins from the safe. Most of the royalties he earned from writing books over the years were here. After counting them, there were probably more than 3000 gold pounds. .

There are also some railway stocks, which he invested in a few years ago, and their value has at least tripled in recent years.

He packed most of the money in the suitcase, and kept some to carry on. After a moment of hesitation, he put the stocks back.

This thing is not easy to realize, and he feels that he may have a chance to come back in the future.

Weapons, of course, had to be worn, a dagger, and his prized revolver.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the road tomorrow.

But before leaving Sword Castle, he had one more thing to deal with.

Sean found a hammer and began to smash each mirror in the room one by one. When he came to the study, he looked at the mirror opposite the desk, but he stopped.

This mirror is facing the desk, with an excellent viewing angle. The frame is silver-plated, with complicated patterns and exquisite carvings. It is placed on a cross-shaped iron shelf. Sean checked the structure of the mirror and found it at the back. A good place to tie the rope, perfect for what he plans to do next.

It's you - he thought, going through the plan again in his mind...
