Wizard of All Souls

The auction is over.

The VIPs flowed away like water.

Sitting on the carriage back to the city, Will was holding a heavy book with a satisfied expression on his face. ——If it didn't cost 5,800 gold coins, if the gold coins belonged to Bunny and the others, it would be even more perfect.

Pierre, who was on the side, looked indignant.

"Catwoman, mother and daughter were actually bought by that old fellow Hoy, damn it!" Pierre gritted his teeth and cursed Hoy.

"How can Hoy be your third master, right? Is it really okay to curse your family like this?" Will said depressedly.

"Hmph! That lecherous old man, why don't you just die." Pierre had absolutely no affection for Hoy.

Hoy Kemper, the brother of Mr. Chapman and the third grandfather of Peel.

For the underground auction in Moonfall City, since someone from the second largest family in Moonfall City has come, it is impossible for someone from the largest family not to come.

And the cat girl mother and daughter who were favored by Peel were auctioned off by Hoy of the Quimper family.

Hoy Kempel is simply a replica of Peel, referred to as the old Peel.

In his youth, Hoy was a playboy.

When he was old, he was a lecherous old man.

Every year, Hoy harms several young and beautiful women.

It's just that most of the women never came out after entering Hoy's yard.

The horror legend about Hoy can be heard throughout Moonset City.

Every young girl in Moonfall City avoided Hoy.

"As if someone else has robbed you of your woman, do you have any money?" Will said speechlessly.

"It's not about money." Peel looked at Will, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Will, are we good friends?"

Peel leans towards Will, obsequiously.

"Go away, it's disgusting." Will got goosebumps all over his body.

"I remember that Huo Yi likes you very much, right? I have given you many gifts, and I have almost responded to your needs. How about doing me a favor this time? Help me get that pair of catgirls." Pierre rubbed his hands, and looked at Will fawningly. .

"Be nice to me? Like me?" Will felt amused in his heart.

Perhaps, in the entire Quimper Castle, the one who wished Will's death the most was Hoy.

If it weren't for someone who knew Hoy's secret, there would be another Edith.

Otherwise, Will would have been killed by Hoy long ago.

Will still remembers that winter, when Will encouraged Edith to break into Hoy's mansion, under the guise of saving the poor girl imprisoned by Hoy.

That night, Will saw the most disgusting sight of his life.

Thinking back on it now, it still hurts.

If Edith hadn't known about it, and Hoy didn't dare to attack Edith, how could Will have survived until now?

However, the reason why Will encouraged Edith to come together.

Isn't it just in case?

Since then, Howy has flattered Will directly and indirectly many times, just to seal Will's mouth and prevent Will from revealing the matter.

"It's not negotiable!" Will decisively rejected Peel's request.

"Cut, inhumane!" Peel got out of the car angrily.

Will rolled up the curtains, and the lights were feasting outside.

"Isn't this Flower Street?" Will asked.

"Isn't it okay for me to have diarrhea and fire?" Pierre had a rascal expression on his face.

"Didn't you do it when you were in the auction house?" Will said speechlessly.

At the auction house.

Regarding Peel's level of shamelessness, Will once again refreshed his understanding.

It's too perverted.

Sure enough, it was right not to play with this guy before.

"Together?"

"No."

Pierre hugged left and right, surrounded by a group of beauties, and entered the largest and most luxurious building.

The carriage continued on.

Will figured that there was still half an hour before returning to the City Lord's Mansion, why not take this opportunity to read the book he just bought.

Five thousand eight hundred gold coins, just thinking about Will makes my heart ache.

Tonight, Mr. Will knows what it means to spend money like water.

In the auction field, there are tens of thousands of gold coins at every turn.

Even if it is the cheapest item, Baron Leo's family can't afford it after selling it.

Especially the thirteenth auction item. —The sword of the twenty-third king of the Cairo Empire.

Rumor has it that the twenty-third king is a paladin, his sword possesses unparalleled power, and he has the path to the paladin.

That sword should be buried with the king.

Why do swords appear in the auction house?

have no idea.

Will didn't know.

The auction house officials don't know either.

All the guests present at the auction also didn't know.

This is something I know in my heart, but I can only say that I don't know it to the outside world.

Will's thoughts turned to the books in his arms.

The book is big and heavy.

Will estimated that the book weighed more than ten catties.

The cover of the book is wrapped in rhinoceros hide.

The workmanship is very rough, without any special attention, just like a piece of skin cut off at random.

No wonder.

This book is essentially just a notebook.

A handy notebook to record what you have seen and heard.

Of course it is convenient and easy to use.

The exquisite and beautiful adventurer notes on the market have all been sorted out and revised, and the original manuscripts are probably very messy.

Will opened the book from the middle.

The characters are actually red, and after seven hundred years, they are still as red as blood.

The handwriting is strong and powerful, but the shape of the characters is a bit distorted, probably because there is no table when writing.

Looking at the manuscript of the legendary witcher Wino Bra, Will frowned.

Not because the knowledge in the book is meaningless, Will is disappointed.

but because——

can't read!

Will knew every word, but couldn't figure out what it meant when they were put together.

Not Cairo.

Not Lydian.

Not Amona.

It is not the common language of the three countries.

The familiar yet unfamiliar symbols on the book reminded Will of a rumored text.

I heard that the really important books and letters of the country are all written in this language.

It is a character that every real nobleman must learn.

Holy Empire.

The Holy Empire was a huge country that unified the entire continent two thousand years ago.

After the collapse of the Holy Empire, after 500 years of chaotic wars, finally 1,500 years ago, the current three kingdoms of Cairo, Lydoa, and Amona appeared on the territory.

Although the Holy Empire perished, its text has been handed down.

It became a language exclusively used by the nobility.

Even Viscount families like the Quimper family are not qualified to know the language used.

"I spent 5,800 gold coins to buy a book I can't understand?" The greatest irony in the world is nothing more than this.

Unwillingly, Will turned a few more pages and found that they were all written in the Holy Empire script.

Will turned to the first page, which was blank.

I don't know why, every other page is densely written, only the first page is blank.

Will found that when he stared at the first page, he actually felt dizzy.

"There must be a big secret here."

Will continued to stare at the first page, the dizziness in his head became more and more intense, and his vision gradually blurred.

When Will could not bear it anymore and wanted to give up.

suddenly.

The dizziness disappeared, and the vision became extremely clear.

On the blank paper, a little ink slowly appeared.

The ink blots appear very, very slowly, as if someone were writing on the page.

The carriage drove out of the busy city and slowly moved forward on the cold street.

All around, there are only the sounds of worms, horseshoes and grooms waving whips.

"Bah bah bah..."

While Will was concentrating on the book and waiting for the writing to be finished, someone knocked on the carriage window.

Will's carriage bears the emblem of the Quimper family.

Under such circumstances, if someone dared to knock on the window, the other party must be not an ordinary person.

But considering that it was night and it was a remote and deserted road, Will still kept his eyes open.

"Who is it!"

Will hid aside, and slowly drew the curtains.

"no one?"

The curtains were drawn, but it was pitch black outside, and only the shadows of trees receding could be seen.

"Maybe it's the wind."

When Will thought it was an illusion and was about to close the window.

A strand of long white hair floated out from the edge of the window.

"Is someone hiding behind?" Will narrowed his eyes, "Who is it? Do you know who I am? If you don't show up again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Will jerks the lock of hair out, giving it a tug.

A pale face was drawn to him by Will. — only the face.

The mouth of the face opened towards Will, getting bigger and bigger until the mouth exceeded the size of the face...

Snapped!

Will slammed the window shut.

Plop plop plop!

Will's heart was beating violently.

Bah bah bah.

Someone was knocking on the window again.

Bah bah bah.

The other party was persistent and kept knocking.

First the left window, to the right window, then to the main entrance.

Gradually, the beating sound of "呯呯呯" was heard from the carriage up, down, left, and right.

The sound became more and more urgent, like the sound of raindrops.

"Coachman!" Will yelled.

The car belonged to Peel, and the driver belonged to Peel, and Will didn't know the other's name.

Will called out a few more times, but got no response.

Yet the carriage continued on.

The sound of wheels rolling could also be heard from directly below the carriage.

I just don’t know why, but the sound of horses’ hoofs and coachman’s yelling are missing.

Outside the car, the chirping of insects was heard, and the shaking of leaves was gone.

Only the wind howled.

The dense sound of beating on the carriage suddenly stopped.

But the weird atmosphere still hasn't disappeared.

"There is no way to go on like this."

Thinking of the weird face that appeared just now, Will only felt a chill.

Take a deep breath.

Will gently rolled up a corner of the door curtain.

Through that corner, Will could see the driver's clothes.

"Is the coachman still there?"

The angle at which Will's door curtain rolled up was even wider.

Finally saw the driver's face.

The driver's face turned slowly towards Will.

The coachman's face had long been rotten, and maggots were coming in and out of the coachman's eye sockets, nose, mouth, and ears.

"Wow ah ah-"

Will stimulated his vitality and slapped the coachman with his palm through the door curtain.

The door curtain was torn apart.

Will didn't feel the hit.

Will's arm passes through the driver's back and emerges from the driver's chest.

The coachman gave Will an odd smile.

boom!

The coachman's entire body turned into countless human faces, scattered in all directions.

call--

Will swayed, raised his head, and opened his eyes.

Will sat in the car, holding the book, and was turning the first page.

All that just now.

Is it a dream?

Or hallucination?

On the first page of Demon Hunter Wino Bulla's notes, a line appeared.

The characters are also written in the Holy Empire language.

But I don't know why.

Will could understand the meaning of the line.

"Whoever enters this door is like falling into an abyss. -Wenuo Bra."
