Melissa is the daughter of Joseph, the former Great Knight of Radiance and now the Chief of the Intelligence Section.
She has a beautiful red curly hair inherited from her mother, like algae in the water, soft and smooth, when it is loose, it is a beautiful pearl-like mermaid, and when it is tied up, it is a heroic Ji Knight.
Because she is at home, her clothes are very casual.
The double-breasted white lace blouse, high-waisted blue skirt, black pantyhose, and beige slippers formed an independent, youthful image of a young girl.
Because of her mother's early death, she lives with her father, Joseph, in this uptown house on 1st Street.
Purely in terms of age, according to the logic of ordinary people, Joseph's age can actually be her grandfather.
But for the knights who intercepted the ether and turned it into their own power.
Age doesn't actually mean anything.
This sixteen-year-old girl is actually a team leader of the Mystic Tower's Battle Section, an abnormal-level knight.
"It's strange... how could he read books?"
Melissa picked up the book and looked at it suspiciously, and unceremoniously expressed her doubts.
"I've never seen him read any books, not even when he was the Great Knight of Radiance."
Melissa's brows were tightly together, thinking hard.
Joseph was away from home all year round because of his responsibilities. In fact, she was the only one living in the house.
The few books that Joseph read that I thought of carefully were all things that he had to read.
For example, when the labor law was released not long ago, Joseph spent all his time studying, looking at various regulations, and racking his brains to find what was beneficial to him.
And usually, Joseph didn't even bother to touch the pages.
Melissa suddenly became curious, and she looked at the book called "Children of the Abyss" in her hand and opened it.
The speed of flipping fingers gradually became more and more immersive.
His eyes gradually changed, and his expression gradually became dignified.
"Damn, don't bother me again. Although I'm just a cripple now, the owner of the bookstore has no trace of ether, but he can make me faint. What does this strength mean, don't you know? I can say, don't try to kill yourself, be respectful, or I won't save you guys who are asking for guilt!"
Joseph's voice was getting closer and closer, and there was a faint sound of kicking the wall.
Melissa raised her head sharply and came out of the ancient and attractive world, feeling as if she had pulled her soul back.
She shook her head, quickly put the book down, and quickly returned to its original position with memory.
Then he pretended to be walking back to the bedroom nonchalantly.
"Melissa."
Melissa turned her head nervously, but heard Joseph warmly remind: "Remember to drink milk."
"… "
Melissa nodded without a smile, then slammed the door shut.
"Huh..."
She let out a long breath, but question marks popped up in her mind: "Who wrote that book? Is the protagonist in it the elf king Candela, and later the magic sword Candela? Why are these stories so wonderful and true? Is it a biography or a novel?"
The most important thing is - she hasn't finished it yet!
Just a little bit, she can see a very wonderful point!
Melissa muttered and threw herself on the bed, feeling unbearable, and rolled around excitedly: "I didn't expect an old stubborn dad like me to read this kind of book. It seems that my previous prejudice was too deep."
But from the few words just now, we can understand that this book seems to be related to a place with a very high level of confidentiality, and there is no way for ordinary people to get specific information.
Melissa lay on the bed and closed her eyes, then opened her eyes again after a while, got up, and turned on her personal computer.
"What does it matter, it's just a bookstore... At most, the owner of the bookstore is very powerful. If this is the case, I won't kill myself."
She reached out to condense the ether, forming a key.
"Database Key - Access - Level I."
Ether, the bridge between the real and the unreal.
The key touched the web page and opened a brand new interface, with a huge database in sight.
Melissa put her hands together: "Thank you mom."
Then browse and query these files.
Her mother was also one of the Great Knights of Radiance before her death. She had database access to the Mystic Tower and left her account to her.
The existence of this account is reasonable and public as her mother's expectations of her, but so far, Melissa has not used it for anything.
Of course, if something is really done, the records in the database will be updated instantly, and Melissa, the daughter of the knight, may become a traitor Melissa.
"Ah! Found it! Bookstore!"
Melissa hugged her knees excitedly, staring at the information on the screen with bright eyes.
She looked at it for a while, and murmured, "Friendly? In that case, I can go and see..."
Melissa made a decision, turned off the computer, and saw the milk on the table out of the corner of her eye.
"Humph."
She reached for the cup and drank it.
…
Wilde is taking notes with his quill.
Dim lighting.
He took off half of his mask, revealing his hideous cheeks that were completely destroyed.
The other half of the mask has completely grown with flesh and blood and has become a part.
Although his appearance is so terrifying, he is now focused and serious, which reduces the terrifying atmosphere a little.
What Wilde had in front of him was his unpublished work, which was obtained from Lin Jie.
After this period of research, he has compiled almost three notebooks!
"Really, the breadth of knowledge is as vast as a sea of smoke! It is as mysterious as a valley! As expected of Mr. Lin!"
Wilde sighed, put down the pen, picked up the notes he wrote and started the final arrangement.
After studying and researching, he has understood the main idea of this Book of Corpse Eating Ritual.
This book mainly records the important ceremonies and rituals of this sect called Corpse Eating Sect.
In these ceremonies and ceremonies, what materials are needed, how to process them, mix them, and finally turn them into sacrifices.
From Wilde's current rough summary, it can be seen that most of these materials are corpses, which are processed by bloodletting, mincing, skinning, or burning at the stake, swallowing internal organs, which is very cruel and terrifying, making people shudder.
Even a dark wizard like Wilde was a little unbearable.
However, under this crazy appearance, it is strangely compatible with reason.
In this book, there is no doubt that there is a very large system of sacrifices.
A fixed time accurate to the date, different time and space laws, strict steps, each sacrifice has its own meaning, including a part of this civilization.
"If 'Devil's Words' is the tip of the iceberg, then 'The Ritual of Corpse Eater' finally allowed me to see a small aspect of this terrifyingly terrifying lost civilization!"
Wilde put on the mask again, showing a fascinated look, and whispered: "This is too great, too charming... All thanks to Mr. Lin, I have prepared a gift, he will definitely like it."
