Mysterious journey

Putting the book on the table, Garen continued to turn from the page he just turned to.

The yellowed paper surface is slightly rough and very hard. Galleon just turned it over slightly, and the corner of the paper broke off, like a very thin template.

"Be careful, this book is too old, it must be a book from hundreds of years ago." Finestine whispered to the side.

"knew."

Garen moved softer.

Turn to the fifth page, still the table of contents. Garen simply skipped it and turned to the main text.

‘I would like to thank my friend: Lady Lianna. Without her careful correction and funding, this book may not have been published.’ The back of this line is a little blurry, as if it has been soaked in water.

Galen frowned and turned back. The text was actually filled with black twisted letters like tadpoles. He knew every word on it, but when arranged and combined, it became a completely garbled text without any meaning.

"Is this. Is it a special encoding? It needs to be decrypted before the real content can be read?" Galen frowned and continued to flip through. All the contents were the same.

"It should be that many people will encrypt slightly important content with their own passwords." Finestine nodded and watched together.

"What should we do?" Garen flipped through it at random. From beginning to end, he couldn't understand a single paragraph. He could only barely read some patterns similar to engineering design drawings.

"I remember that my friend's grandfather once used an encryption method. I still remember it. Let me decompile it and have a look." Finestine grabbed the book enthusiastically, took out a pen and paper and began to decipher it. .

Garen was pushed aside speechlessly, and even his seat was taken away by this girl.

"Relaxing and happy." Garen whispered in his heart, taking two steps back with a smile on his face, quietly admiring Finestine's beautiful posture.

About ten minutes later.

"Garen, come on, I know what this book is about!" the girl suddenly said loudly.

Garen quickly leaned over and immediately smelled a fresh girl's body fragrance. He involuntarily breathed harder and took a deep breath. But seeing Finestine's focused profile, he immediately stopped and looked at the table.

There is a piece of white paper beside the book on the table. A short paragraph of text has been written on it, which has been decompiled.

"I probably know what this book is about." Finestine said a little excitedly.

She turned to the front table of contents and pointed at the pages.

"This book is divided into three parts: Nightmare, White, and Ritual. These three parts respectively correspond to the author's first encounter with strange events, the boring and difficult search in the middle, and the last trace of clues that he barely found. Overall, this book is This travel diary is a real travel diary in search of legends and stories!”

"Travel notes? Does it really record the author's encounter with mysterious events?" Garen asked doubtfully.

"This was not mentioned, but the author recorded that he did not know when it started, and he kept having a recurring nightmare. In order to unravel the source of this nightmare and save himself from suffering, he embarked on a journey to find the reason. . If it’s just a nightmare, it can’t really be called a mysterious incident. However, at the end of the book, the author seems to have learned something, and his words are a little unclear, as if he is tabooing something." Finestine frowned slightly. wrinkled.

"What are you taboo about?" Garen narrowed his eyes, "Can you find the author's information?"

"No, it is mentioned in the book that when the author arrives at a place, after coming out, the content behind it begins to be unclear and changes." Finestine explained.

"What is that place?"

"Lowe Imperial Library."

Garen frowned, picked up the book and flipped through it casually.

"Look at the very back, there seems to be something!" Finestine said urgently.

Garen quickly turned to the last page, and suddenly a piece of white paper caught in the gap in the shell fell out. The white paper fell out of the middle layer of the hard shell cover. If it hadn't been for a long time, the hard shell had cracked and formed layers, and I would have had to use a knife to cut open the middle layer to get it out.

Finestine quickly picked it up and unfolded it.

There is a line of words written on it: Six meters deep under the third tree at No. 174, Navis Julang Mountain. I put things there. ——Charlie

"This is a message! It has obviously not been discovered, otherwise such a message would definitely not be still in the book." Finestine suddenly became excited, "We can go and have a look! Maybe we can find something!"

"Navis, where is it?" Garen had never heard of this place name.

"Yushan is a large province on the edge of the federation. The provincial capital is Navis. Yushan is a very poor province with barren land and few resources and minerals. It has almost no advantages except for the large sunlight area. However, the grapes and honeydew melons are pretty good." Phoenix Ting became more and more excited, "How about it? Do you want to go or not! Let's go together!"

"Yushan Province is too far away from here," Gallon said at a loss. "It takes a week to get there by train, and it takes half a month to get there."

"What are you afraid of? We have plenty of time anyway." Finestine waved her hand to show that she didn't care.

Garen thought for a moment and said, "Let's see, let's make a decision later. I'm starting school soon and I can't make it in time. There are also a lot of things to deal with. By the way, Feini, don't you have something to do at home? How can you squeeze in so much? How long do you want to go out and play?"

"It's not bad." Finestine suddenly remembered something, and the excitement on her face calmed down slightly. "By the way, I also have some things to deal with. It might take a month to get back and forth. Well, let's schedule it for the next holiday."

"Okay." Garen nodded cheerfully.

The two of them got together and studied the contents of the book again, and they were very interested. It was not until the clock on the wall made a clanging sound that they stopped with unfinished content.

"It's almost noon. I have to go have lunch. I have something to do in the afternoon." Garen stood up straight and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? You're still so busy now that you're on holiday, aren't you tired?" Finestine got down from the chair, her legs seemed to be numb, and she couldn't stand still, so she sat back.

"I" Garen shrugged innocently, "You bumped into it yourself, I couldn't control it," he whispered back.

"Go to hell!" Finestine kicked Garen in the calf and left angrily with a pink face.

Garen helplessly glanced at the white and gray footprints on his pants. To him, this kick didn't even feel like a tickle, but to ordinary people, it would definitely turn their bones blue. After all, it was kicked with the tip of a leather boot.

"Forget it, I have to go to the old man's place in the afternoon. As expected, Ying'er is still kind to me. She doesn't even dare to hit her hard."

He wiped the dust off his trousers and when he walked out of the underground library, he could no longer see Fini's shadow. After taking out his card to register and leave, he stopped a carriage and rushed home.

Sitting in the car, Garen closed his eyes slightly to rest and check his current attributes. This was something he did every day.

Strength 2.22. Agile 1.10. Physical fitness 1.87. Intelligence 1.50. Potential 258%. Baiyun Secret Technique: Dacheng (Level 4). Explosive punch: Intermediate. Baiyun's fighting skills: Intermediate.

"The power has increased a little bit, which is better than nothing. It's just that I don't know how to use the potential points I have accumulated." Garen frowned and thought.

"I have been increasing my strength before, but I have upgraded the bursting fist to the intermediate level. With strong defense and single attack power, I can indeed be invincible for a short time. But it is troublesome when encountering a fast opponent. In terms of body In terms of attributes and the fighting skills I have mastered, I am already considered a barely good fighting master. It may be a lot worse than my second senior brother and senior sister, but it is still superior to ordinary people and ordinary warriors. But what should I improve next? One item is a bit vague."

His eyes fell on agility, and the agility of 1.10 has almost remained unchanged.

"I remember what Senior Sister said the day before yesterday. A real master must not have obvious flaws. Even if he does, he must know how to make up for them. Now my speed should be regarded as my obvious shortcoming. It seems that my agility must also be improved now. schedule."

He analyzed it and his eyes finally fell on Agility.

A few seconds later, the agility number suddenly jumped, from 1.10 to only 1.20.

And suddenly, the power column on one side suddenly jumped from 2.22 to 2.42.

Garen was slightly stunned. Looking at the potential value, he found that 100% of the potential accumulated over the past few weeks had been used, with 158% left.

"How can increasing agility increase strength?" He was speechless. "Could it be that?" Garen suddenly thought of a possibility. "If you want to increase the speed while maintaining the same strength, then the power that bursts out in an instant will definitely be much stronger than before. The sum of strength and speed is the real explosive power and lethality! This attribute should be calculated like this. This way , based on the stronger the strength, as long as you add a little speed, it is equivalent to multiplication, and the explosive power generated will definitely be much stronger than the original."

He noticed that after the agility was improved, there was an extra symbol behind it. If you look carefully, the meaning of the symbols will naturally flow into your mind.

"The difference in strength and agility is too large, and there will be a linkage effect initially, and then it will slowly decay." Garen looked at several other attributes. "If this is the case, is it best to add points evenly? Otherwise, the body will be too extreme on one side, which will burden other aspects and eventually lead to stagnation."

There were still a few attributes left, but Garen did not use them rashly, because the potential of the black jade plate had gradually weakened. There were fewer attribute points than he expected, and the potential was being released at a slower and slower rate. It was estimated that there would be another It was almost absorbed in one or two points.

Sitting on the carriage, he slowly took out the black jade plaque from his trouser pocket. This antique, which looked like an iron plaque, was flowing out of potential as thin as a hair.

Gently caressing this inconspicuous rectangular iron plate, I felt the uneven carved patterns and words on it.

"After absorbing it, you can sell it directly through the company or the golden ring. You can get a lot of money to collect the doomed antiques in the future." Feeling the subtle changes in his body due to the improvement in attributes, Garen moved for a while. Regarding the body, "I won't go to the old man's place for the time being. In the afternoon, I will go to the martial arts gym to adapt to my physical fitness. In case I don't adapt to it after doing it, it will be troublesome. I have been going to the martial arts gym to train intermittently for so long. When I saw the teacher this afternoon, I guess I was going to be I'll train you." He showed a hint of helplessness.
