This is the only recorded full-scale war with shadow creatures in the material world. Even though the time is too far apart, people in the contemporary era cannot know the specific details, but the tragedy in the mottled history can still be experienced.
After that, the remaining pages of the [Treasure Book of All Things] infected by the power of the shadow world were brought out of the material world by a terrifying creature with no recorded name. Limited information showed that it was a cat-shaped monster.
The monster absorbed most of the power in the page, and threw the page's body and a few power residues back into the material world. That was already in the 14th era. This time the person who picked up that page was a boy surnamed Kurt. Later, he unified the human beings in the material world. This is also rare in the 14th era with the theme of chaos and war. Uniform era.
Kurt, who later became king, died suddenly at the age of 47, along with all those who were related to him within three generations.
The Church of the Sages at that time discovered that page, and judged that its cunning properties had not been wiped out.
This time the containment lasted from the 14th era to the last era. The documents Jenkins had seen clearly proved that because of being suppressed under the Holy See all the year round, the page from the [Treasure Book of All Things] was stained with the power of the sage believers, Therefore, [Book of Heart] will show the characteristics of being close to sages and believers.
Many things happened in the 17th era. During a certain expansion process of the Holy See headquarters in Beldyran, the pages of the book escaped accidentally. But when the page that left the Holy See was discovered again, it no longer had the characteristics of a monster.
It is now the "book of books" and "the book that provides all knowledge". Anyone who can touch this page can get enlightenment from it.
In other words, it is not bad luck for Jenkins to encounter this thing now, but his good luck has come.
The frozen magazine is now the carrier of [Book of Heart], but in order to gain enlightenment, what needs to be touched is the body of [Book of Heart]. But Jenkins definitely couldn't do such a thing in such a public place, so he sucked in the air and stuffed this "ice board" into his clothes, and determined from the "Medical Perspectives on Tropical Diseases" that the specific date of Mr. Corpse's party was the day after tomorrow. Tuesday night.
Then he paid for some magazines he found handy and overpaid for the copy of Delicious Fish: The Lund Island Cookbook in his clothes. Jenkins didn't want to be thought of as a thief.
When leaving here, the middle-aged man in uniform looking through "The Legend of the Detective Knight" looked at Jenkins with strange eyes.
Jenkins thought it was because he had just insisted on paying 8 shillings more, but the truth was that one of the magazines he bought was called "Successful Communication - How to Deal with Different Girls".
Originally, I planned to go around Privet Drive and take a look at the house of the Williams family from a distance, but now that I encountered "The Book of Heart", the plan to go home and have a look can only be postponed.
After leaving the post office, he changed his image again in the nearby alley. After turning around a few times, he came to the west of the city through different exits of the underground black market, and then turned into the yard from the fence behind the house with ease, avoiding another Mrs. Goodman, who was tidying the garden, returned to her home on St. George Street through the back door.
The magazine in his hand was stuffed in the basement, in case anyone found out that he had been back. Then I rummaged through the cardboard box in the basement for a while, and took out a whole roll of parchment. After thinking about it, I cut it with scissors to about 1 foot (about 30.48cm), and then covered the parchment roll while melting the "ice board".
Gradually, the inspiration from the recipe shifted to the blank parchment little by little. When the flames completely melted the ice and kept the magazine and parchment dry just right, all the blue aura came to the parchment.
It emits a little bit of light in the slightly dim basement, like stars in the night sky throwing stardust. Jenkins let go of his hand a little bit, letting the slightly curled parchment float into the air.
Facing Jenkins, it stretched out a little bit, and the classical fine lines wrapped the edges of the paper, making the brand new parchment even more ancient.
[Hello, what do you want to know?]
It was a sentence that was displayed in the margin of the page, and Jenkins wasn't surprised by it, as it was recorded in the document.
"So, is this an automatic search function without intelligence, or has a soul been born in [Book of Heart]?"
Jenkins was quite interested in the question, but he also knew it wasn't worth wasting precious opportunities on it.
[Book of Heart] possesses part of the power of [Treasure Book of All Things], and the legendary book of gifts records all the knowledge of "past", "present" and "future". [Book of Heart] has inherited part of the "past" knowledge, which means that Jenkins can use it to know his family's secrets, or information about Nolan's underground sealed items.
"So, how far can you help me?"
he asked.
[Book of Heart] gives people enlightenment. For different people, the quantity and quality of the questions it answers are uncertain. But Jenkins doesn't have to worry that he will be lower than the average level recorded in the data. After all, he is a believer of the sage, and [Book of Heart] has preferential treatment for the believers of the sage.
[I can't help you.]
"Um?"
For a moment, Jenkins thought his hypocrisy had been exposed.
"Why? I don't think I violated your rules, and I also used my own power to reach you."
He asked the page in front of him, which would have been stupid if it hadn't been for the fact that it could fly.
[Your request is too secretive, I don't have all the 'past', so I can't answer your question.]
Of course Jenkins didn't believe it, not only because the priesthood was telling lies, but also because so far, every numbered creature or object he had encountered that could communicate had a mysterious "I know but I can't tell" look. It is impossible for the page in front of me to not even listen to the questions and just say that I don't know anything.
"So, it's also one of those 'I know but I can't tell' situations! So, this page is trying to deceive me [God of Lies] out of fear! This is definitely not an answer that an automated question and answer can give, this page Paper has given birth to its own soul!"
Thinking like this, he suddenly stretched out his finger and poked the paper floating in front of him. The latter shrank back suddenly, and a brand new text appeared on the page:
[May I ask what you want to do?]
