Chapter 28 It’s good to pad the table legs .
“This”
to be honest, Ronald didn’t expect such a thing to happen.
He was even ready to do an invincible roll the moment the opponent pounced on him.
But the 'boy' turned into ashes directly in front of him.
This is really hard to describe.
"Alas -"
he shook his head with emotion, and then Ronald began to take a good look at the "Divine Comedy" in his hand.
The black cover and back cover are integrated, with yellowed pages bundled in series sandwiched between them. Just holding it in your hand can make people feel the heavy weight.
This is the weight of history!
However, Ronald frowned as he held such an important treasure.
"Isn't that right?"
"Isn't this a bit too light?"
As a modern adult who has some involvement in cultural work, Ronald has of course read world famous works such as "The Divine Comedy".
This long poem, which took more than ten years to write, is jaw-dropping both in structure and content.
"Hell", "Purgatory" and "Heaven", each of the three chapters contains thirty-three songs.
Including the prelude to the long poem, there are a total of one hundred songs, with a total of 14,233 lines of neatly matched verses. Even in the last line of each poem, Dante rhymes with the word "stars", echo each other.
This unique poetic structure and symmetrical layout are also derived from the number 3 and the number 10, two numbers with occult symbolic significance in the European Middle Ages.
Then here comes the problem.
The book in Ronald's hand weighed less than one kilogram.
This is definitely not the weight that the entire "Divine Comedy" should have!
Immediately opening the closed book, Ronald quickly flipped through the original book.
In less than two breaths, the results came out.
The "Divine Comedy" in the hands of the man in red only records the overture and the thirty-three songs of "Inferno". There is no trace of "Purgatory" and "Paradise" at all.
"."
"So, is it just "Inferno"?"
Faced with this result, Ronald didn't know what to say.
Tonight's encounter was already full of twists and turns, but as a result, the "Divine Comedy" I got now is only the first chapter.
It's hard not to think of something.
But the first problem that needs to be solved now is Montenegro, which is about to become a [demon realm].
It's a matter of your own survival, and you must continue to try to break the situation.
So, let’s start with this new original book.
"Huh -"
After two seconds of silence, Ronald stood there and twisted his neck to make his brain clearer.
Immediately, his fingers gently pressed on the open page.
The next second -
in the dimly lit basement, a majestic voice like a strong wind swept through every space:
"I have walked through half of our life journey,
but I have entered a dark forest again.
This is because I lost the right path.
Ah! How primitive, how dangerous, and how difficult this forest is! How difficult it
is to describe this scene!
"
The overture of "The Divine Comedy" was slowly sung from his mouth, and Ronald was feeling it at this moment. An unprecedented shocking experience.
As he read the poem, some indescribable power surged from his body.
It's not just the basement that's stirring.
This power gradually spread to the manors on the ground and the surrounding mountains, until it enveloped the entire Black Mountain!
Boom—
in an instant, the entire Black Mountain turned into a dome!
The black mist that was constantly eroding the world and alienating it was picked up by an invisible hand and immediately concentrated towards the center.
The center -
the villa where Ronald is.
Immediately, Ronald in the basement saw a scene that was difficult to describe in words.
Except for the ground beneath his feet, seemingly endless black mist began to emerge from any surrounding wall, and then all were absorbed by the "Divine Comedy - Inferno" in his hand.
The black mist that can swallow up mountains and forests and kill all life.
A black fog that can block out the sky and overwrite human common sense.
A black mist that can infect everything and drag the world into alienation.
At this moment, it was like a floating insect that had just broken out of its shell and was easily driven away by the magic book in Ronald's hand.
Ronald had no choice but to flee under the force of the black mist before. Naturally, Ronald knew how terrifying the black mist was.
However, such a terrifying existence was unable to be swept away at this moment, and even the tentacles on the basement wall were torn apart, and finally turned into fragments and were contained by the original code.
The tyranny that will not tolerate any rejection!
Just three seconds.
The terrifying power of the original code swept away the black mountains several kilometers in size, leaving no trace of black mist in the world!
Snap -
a soft sound.
"Divine Comedy - Inferno" closed automatically.
Lying quietly in Ronald's hand at this moment, it seemed like an ordinary diary without any response.
Gudong -
Swallowing the saliva in his mouth, Ronald couldn't hide his shock and murmured:
"Limbo"
This is the ability that "Divine Comedy" activated just now.
Just like "The Hammer of Rain and Mist", as long as the content of the original scripture is read under the right circumstances, it will activate its own powerful power.
The "Divine Comedy - Inferno" in Ronald's hands possesses extremely complex powers.
First, there is the prelude written before "Inferno", which is responsible for activating the overall power of the grimoire.
And the first ability after activation.
It is in the long poem that it represents the beginning of entering hell, which is Limbo, the first level of the nine hells.
Its power originates from being between the world and hell, symbolizing the door into a foreign land.
From this, Limbo can effectively absorb abnormal things in the real world and then deal with them thoroughly.
This ability has almost no restrictions on activation.
The only problem is that there must be a buffer time after absorbing the 'exception'. It can only be reactivated after the original code has completely dealt with the 'abnormal' things.
As the new owner of "The Divine Comedy".
Ronald could clearly feel that after completely dealing with Black Mountain, which had completed the alienation process in the past, Limbo's ability had entered a four-month digestion period.
Only when the alienation of Black Mountain is completely eliminated by it can this ability be activated again.
Although it takes a long time.
But considering the terrifying degree of alienation in Black Mountain before,
this is definitely a very powerful ability!
But things after that are a bit troublesome.
It is different from the "Magic Hammer of Rain and Mist" that can be activated directly.
Except for Limbo, which is free of charge and symbolizes the starting point of entering a foreign land.
If you want to use other powers in "Inferno", you must absorb eight different concepts.
Sexual immorality, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery.
The eight human behaviors or emotions correspond to the eight sinful responsibilities of hell.
"."
"Doesn't this mean it's useless?"
Ronald couldn't help but complained.
Limbo's abilities are on cooldown, and the other eight abilities cannot be used.
The original book of feelings is in my hands, and now I have the ability to support the legs of a table.
Fortunately, Ronald was not someone who was obsessed with this thing. He immediately shook his head happily and said,
"But it's okay."
"At least the alienation in Montenegro is lifted, and the danger of life is finally over."
Click-click-
suddenly, Tong There was a sound of beating from the steps to the ground!
Pupils are constricted.
Ronald immediately rushed to the corner of the basement.
After the evil tentacles on the wall dissipated, the dagger given by Nessus lay there.
Although the dagger was badly damaged, it was still easier to use than my own mortal body.
[The contract status has changed. ]
[I can only express my regret to my friends who have not invested. 】
