Chapter 17: Protect against evil

Views: NaN

Swish Swish Swish.

With the sound of the pages turning, Jason began to recognize the text at the beginning of a new page as before. For Jason whose level of [Tufuyu] is only basic, such recognition is very strenuous.

Reading word for word is basic.

In order to be able to read better, he almost used the fingertip of his index finger to point at each word to read.

This time is no exception.

However, when Jason's index finger pressed on the page, a faint light lit up from the page.

The light is gentle and tough.

Before Jason could react, he enveloped Jason in it.

Jason felt as comfortable as the breeze blowing on his face.

However, the next moment—

ah!

There was a terrible scream that only existed in Jason's ears.

The shrillness of that scream could not be described in words, as if a real steel needle had pierced Jason's eardrum.

In fact, Jason's condition was worse than imagined.

The moment the screams appeared, his whole body trembled, an unprecedented pain burst from his body, and then there was a burst of warmth in his nose and mouth, and blood spurted out directly.

Especially the viscera, as he breathes, he can feel pain.

But Jason didn't care about these at all. He was staring at his body, and a dark shadow was slowly being pulled away from his body. The black shadow was struggling.

Every struggle made Jason feel pain like a knife in his stomach.

Beads of sweat appeared on the forehead, ran down the cheeks, and dripped to the ground.

Jason gritted his teeth, not letting himself cry out in pain.

He just stared at his eyes, watching the black shadow gradually withdraw from his body, and then quickly dissipated in the brilliance, like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

This process lasted about three seconds or so.

When the black shadow completely dissipated and the light dissipated, an unprecedented relaxed state appeared on Jason.

Jason could clearly feel that the pressure and tension that followed him disappeared.

Then a burst of enlightenment came to mind.

I wasn't completely out of it when I was just on 'Moon Mask'!

I've been targeted!

only…

I just don't know!

Suddenly, Jason couldn't help but think back to the scene when the group of corpses stared at him and all laughed.

Suddenly, I felt a chill in my heart.

Because, he knew very well that if he allowed the state just now to continue, he might become one of those corpses!

Involuntarily, Jason tightened his grip on the book in his hand.

This book saved him again!

Or to be precise, 'his teacher' anticipated what might happen and made proper arrangements.

Subconsciously, Jason lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand.

At this time, he suddenly discovered that four lines of text appeared on the side of the original text:

'Jason, my apprentice, I am happy when you read these lines, because it proves that you are still you. '

'Just in case, I suggest that you record here the skills of the Night's Watch. Sorry, I should have personally guided you, however, something happened and I had to deal with it myself. '

'Sorry again that I can't tell you more, but I promise I'll let you know the details when we meet again. '

'May you be on duty in the night, may you be in darkness, may you have light in your heart - your teacher, Night Watchman Dan'

The text is written in the common language.

The last sentence carries some kind of wish.

After a while, the words disappeared without a trace.

Jason was not surprised by this.

What's even more miraculous is that he just encountered it. This kind of trick similar to invisible ink is really a child's play.

Of course, it may also be a profound skill that he cannot understand.

But anyway, Jason was slightly relieved.

His most important hurdle as a false 'heir' has been passed.

Even if we meet in the future, if he behaves abnormally, there is room for turning around.

However, Jason didn't think much about those things at the moment.

He is more concerned about the 'night watchman's skills' recorded by Tufuyu in the book in front of him

"Prevent...protect...evil...night watchman...sign...can prevent...a certain level...of evil forces from attacking...how to use...sentence combination...handprint..."

Compared with the explanation of monster nouns, Jason can also make guesses based on his own experience and deduce the meaning of the words. At this moment, facing the completely unfamiliar words about "protecting against evil", Jason couldn't help frowning .

It is so difficult to understand!

He tried his best to connect the front and back and guess each other, and only barely understood the meaning of some words in the "sentence combination", but the combination of the front and back sentences became completely uncoordinated.

As for the rest

That is completely incomprehensible.

"The level of Tufuyu is too low."

"If you want to fully analyze this text that records 'Protection from Evil', you need at least an entry-level level."

Jason thought as he rubbed his swollen temples.

It is too difficult to rely on the basic level [Tufuyu] to read.

Not only is it inefficient, but it is also extremely energy-consuming.

Coupled with the injury just received, Jason felt as if he was staying up all night continuously, his body would be hollowed out, and he would be in a coma at any time.

Therefore, Jason simply put down the book in his hand and lifted the lid of the pot.

The scales have been removed, cut into square pieces of meat, and in boiling water, it becomes firm, the lean meat becomes more bright red, and the white meat has a layer of crystal transparency, and the layers are more distinct after the entrance.

The only downside, is that there is no more seasoning.

Otherwise, roasting is the way to go.

Of course, this did not prevent Jason from sweeping away all the food.

[Eating grid tungsten hound!]

[Injury recovery X3 by a small margin!]

[Saturation +2X3]

[Saturation: 6]

Stronger than Joker and Stranger, but not as good as Submariner!

Without hesitation, Jason chose to consume 2 points of satiety to upgrade [Picture Fuyu].

[Tufu language (passive) (introductory): Tufu language is an ancient language, it is only circulated in secret organizations and mysterious forces, it is rumored that after corresponding combination, with the ritual, it will produce Unbelievable effects, but these are still a bit far away from you. You have only mastered its introductory knowledge. At this level, reading is not difficult for you, but you still need to think about some rare words for a long time.]

Once again, a variety of knowledge flooded into my mind.

This time, the basic time is much longer than before.

There are three full seconds.

Jason believed that if he hadn't just relied on 'food' to complete the two additional treatments and one physical recovery, he would definitely be in a coma at this time.

However, when it was all over, Jason looked at the note in his hand, but the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile.

He has been able to read very easily.

Everything that was incomprehensible just now became simple and easy at this time.

And what happened next made Jason's smile even brighter.

[Discover the skill 'Protection from Evil', determine that the skill Tufuyu has reached the entry level, do you need to consume 3 points of satiety to learn it?]

An unexpected surprise.

Jason didn't expect that this notebook would not only allow him to learn [Tufuyu] directly, but also other skills.

Although [Protection from Evil] costs far more than other skills, what is there to hesitate at this time

Jason immediately gave a positive answer:

"yes!"
