Chapter 44 The illiterate devil
Li Hyuk holds an Erlenmeyer flask and can see the light blue medicine contained inside, which is clear and transparent.
Shake the bottle a little, and the liquid slowly slides down from the inner wall. It looks slightly sticky, like jelly that slowly solidifies from the liquid state, giving it a somewhat different aesthetic.
"Not bad." Li He whispered, looking at the Erlenmeyer flask and saying, "Let's temporarily name you... um... Fusion Blood Potion No. 1."
Considering that what is currently being prepared is only the initial version of the potion, in the future There will definitely be continuous optimization and continuous iteration. Li He added a number 1 after his name. He was prepared to wait for this potion to be officially named after a long period of iteration and improvement, and after it achieved all the effects he expected.
After confirming the temporary name, Li He admired it for a few seconds, then placed the conical flask containing "Blood Fusion Agent No. 1" on the experimental table and picked up a piece of papyrus next to it.
The papyrus is full of content, which he copied not long ago, but it is not the specific knowledge recorded in the "Book of Destiny", but the completely incomprehensible words mixed in it, which is the devil's contract text.
The number of devil's contract texts accounts for about one-tenth of the records in the "Book of Destiny". It is okay if it is mixed in unimportant positions such as background introduction. If it is mixed in the core content, it will greatly increase the understanding of recorded knowledge. Understand the difficulty.
From the beginning, Li He wanted to study and break through this kind of writing. Even if he could not master it, he wanted to avoid obstacles.
Before using the camera, I recorded relatively little content, collected only a few devil's contract documents, and did not develop a plan. Now using cameras, while obtaining a large amount of knowledge records, we have also collected enough devil's contract documents, which has met the conditions for preliminary research.
Li He looked at the contents on the papyrus carefully. For a moment, he frowned slightly and found that it was more difficult to conquer the devil's contract than he thought.
At this time, he thought of someone who might be able to help him.
Without any hesitation, he shouted directly: "Allen! Allan!"
A strange thing happened. The devil Alex, who was always on call, called several times this time, but did not see the other party appear.
Leaving Blackstone Castle and going outside?
Li He guessed and put his hand on his heart. With the contract connection in his body, he quickly sensed that Alex had not left Blackstone Castle to go to the outside world. He was doing something unknown outside the main castle at this time.
After thinking about it, Li He walked out holding the papyrus written with the devil's contract.
...
Outside the main castle of Blackstone Castle.
Devil Alex was wandering behind the main castle at this time, touching the wall behind the main castle with one hand, and kept walking forward.
He is feeling.
He was feeling the strange yet familiar atmosphere of Blackstone Castle.
He built the Blackstone Castle. As he once told Li He, he clearly remembered that the Blackstone Castle was built in the 18th year of the Red Moon Empire, completed in the 23rd year, renovated in the 34th year, and completely completed in the 36th year. It included a main castle and three auxiliary castles, with a total size of 132 rooms...
But other than that, he could not remember the details of the castle at all.
Sometimes he even doubts, is this black stone castle really the one he built originally? Could it be that they are just similar?
Therefore, whenever he had free time, he would wander around the Blackstone Castle, hoping to recall bits and pieces of forgotten memories from an object, and to retrieve bits and pieces of the past in a certain corner.
As he continued to wander around, he really remembered some messy fragments. Although most of them were incomprehensible pictures, there were also a small part that he found valuable.
For example...
Devil Alex touched the wall behind the main castle with his hand and kept moving forward. When he was almost reaching the side, he stopped with something in mind, looked around, and slowly said: "It should be here , yes, it should be here..."
He squatted down, grew slender nails on his fingers, and dug into the ground.
Soon, a small pit of more than ten centimeters was dug.
In the small pit, there was a faint red light.
He reached out and dug again, and a red bead the size of a pigeon egg was revealed, emitting a crimson glow.
"Really?!" Alex said in surprise. To be honest, he didn't know what he dug out, and he couldn't remember its use. It was just in the memory fragments that I recalled that I saw such a bead buried in the Black Stone Castle.
"It's very beautiful." Alex sighed as he looked at the red bead, and began to think about how to use this bead.
He is a devil, bound by the contract he signed, and cannot betray or harm the interests of his master Li He, but this does not mean that he cannot have selfish motives and cannot benefit himself.
In his opinion, the beads were something he tried hard to remember and find. Li He didn't know about them and had no need for them, so it would be better to use them on himself.
While he was thinking this, he heard footsteps coming from afar.
Feeling a little guilty, I quickly buried the beads back to their original location and filled them with soil.
Just after finishing this, Li He's figure appeared in the field of vision after a while.
"Great master, your humble servant Alex, greets you." Alex quickly bowed in greeting.
"Well." Li He nodded lightly, glanced at it, and asked a little inquiringly, "Why are you here, Allen?" "I...I thought
Master, you would be busy doing experiments for a while, and I I can't help you much, so I just came out and walked around."
"Yeah." Li He didn't pursue it too much and went straight to the topic. He took out the papyrus filled with the devil's contract, unfolded it and handed it to Alex, "You Take a look, do you recognize the words on it?"
Alex quickly took it and looked at the paper. He suddenly felt that his head had been hit hard and he felt a little dizzy. He took a breath and said, "So many The words...I...I don't seem to recognize any of them."
He lied.
It’s not that he doesn’t seem to know anyone, it’s that he really doesn’t know anyone.
Maybe the word knows him, but he doesn't know the word at all.
"Isn't there anyone familiar?" Li He asked.
Alex shook his head and sighed: "Master, didn't you ask me with similar words a few days ago? You should know the result." "A few days ago, I
collected scattered words. I thought they were relatively unpopular. , it’s normal that you don’t recognize it. This time, I collected more, and there should be a lot of common words... I didn’t expect that you still don’t recognize them. Speaking of which, these should be the words used by your devil, you should know them. Are you, Allen, an illiterate devil?"
"Illiterate...illiterate?" Alex couldn't help but froze after hearing this, "This..."
