Chapter 123: The Secret of the Book
Chapter 123: The Secret of the Book
As Reyn approached the carriage, it seemed like the person inside had noticed him as well. Just as Reyn was about to reach the carriage, the door opened, and a young and slender noble lady stepped out. It was Jennie, dressed in a white gown.
"Lord Reyn, we've been waiting for you. Miss Jennie has been waiting for almost an hour," the butler by her side introduced.
"Lord Reyn, I've brought the books you asked me to help you find," Jennie said as she handed over two thick books.
"Oh," Reyn muttered, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Jennie had waited specifically for him to get the books as soon as possible.
Although Reyn knew that there was a deliberate intention behind her actions, he still appreciated the respect shown by others. This feeling was indeed wonderful! Reyn bowed slightly and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Jennie!"
"Hehe, Lord Reyn, you're too kind. You're the guardian knight of our family, and this is the least I could do," Jennie covered her mouth and giggled softly.
After a moment's thought, Reyn added, "If you ever encounter any trouble, please send someone to inform me. Perhaps I can offer some help."
"Lord Reyn, I'm truly grateful! It's getting late, so I won't disturb you further. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me," Jennie replied.
Reyn's attitude at this moment made Jennie feel that the hour-long wait was worth it. Her intention for this visit was to build a good relationship with Reyn, a promising knight.
Now, hearing Reyn's words, it was like an implicit promise.
"Alright, Miss Jennie, goodbye!" Reyn waved and smiled.
What he didn't notice was that four pairs of curious eyes were watching him and Jennie's brief conversation through the door crack. Anna and Lagra were peeking through the door, Mint through the 'Cookie' hole, and his mother, Emma, was watching from the kitchen window.
When Reyn returned home and entered the house, he found everyone looking at him with different expressions.
This made Reyn's heart skip a beat.
Children couldn't hide their curiosity, and Mint, with wide eyes, asked, "Brother, who is that beautiful lady from the carriage?"
As soon as Mint finished speaking, everyone's gaze shifted to Reyn.
This made Reyn feel more pressure than when facing the fog demon.
After dinner, Reyn hurried into his room and eagerly picked up the two books Jennie had given him. He started studying them carefully.
Soon, Reyn discovered that the formal name for 'Spirit Script' was Akatese, an ancient language imbued with mystical powers. However, its complex pronunciation and throat vibrations made it extremely challenging to learn.
But with his mental power reaching 12 points, Reyn's learning efficiency had significantly improved. Before long, by cross-referencing the two books, Reyn grasped the meanings of several simple Akatese words.
As for pronunciation, he hadn't mastered it yet.
Reyn couldn't wait and pulled out the 'Beast Taming Diary' with its silver cover from under his bed.
Indeed, some of the previously unknown words and phrases in the diary were now comprehensible to Reyn.
".Dancing Elemental Spirit."
".Secret Fire Servant."
Just as Reyn was engrossed in reading, a gentle knock sounded.
"Knock knock knock!"
Reyn recognized who was at the door.
"Come in!" Reyn said as he closed the silver tome.
Anna stood at the door, slightly shy, having noticed Reyn reading. "Reyn, may I come in?" she asked.
"Of course," Reyn smiled and stood up.
The 'Beast Taming Diary' on the table immediately caught Anna's attention with its silver cover and gem-encrusted design.
"Wow! What a beautiful book. Reyn, may I take a look?" Anna glanced at the silver tome and then at Reyn.
"Sure, go ahead," Reyn replied.
Reyn had no objections to Anna flipping through the book. Perhaps one day, if he could understand the spells but couldn't cast them, he might need Anna to try.
The wooden talisman was a perfect example.
Reyn had touched it without any reaction, but when Anna touched it, she could cast a mysterious healing spell.
As Anna picked up the silver tome and leaned against the window to read, something strange happened.
"Reyn? The pattern on the cover is moving," Anna said, looking up at Reyn with a hint of fear.
"What?" Reyn narrowed his eyes and quickly stepped forward.
Soon, Reyn realized that the moonlight shining through the window was illuminating the silver cover.
The largest sapphire, ruby, and turquoise on the surface seemed to absorb some of the moonlight, and a radiant yet gentle beam connected the three gems.
The silver cover's pattern also transformed.
The carved bear, flowers, and veins adjusted, with the bear moving aside and the flowers and leaves dodging to the sides, revealing a well filled with water in the center.
The water in the well reflected the moon, shimmering beautifully.
Next to the well were three large Akatese characters, seemingly spelling 'Moon' and one more word that Reyn didn't recognize.
But judging from the context, it should be 'Moon Well'.
Reyn's feelings were mixed at this moment.
He had obtained the silver tome quite some time ago.
The same had happened with the talisman.
Each time he touched it, there was no reaction, but when Anna touched it, something mystical occurred.
Suddenly, Anna's body swayed, and she covered her head, looking distressed. Reyn quickly supported her.
In an instant, the surroundings underwent a dramatic transformation.
As if stepping into a time tunnel, the familiar scenery around Rain stretched and compressed, only to snap back into clarity the next moment.
But Rain was instantly stunned.
At this moment, he inhaled the fragrant, floral-scented fresh air, and his eyes beheld a dense verdant forest. Tall trees and shrubs were arranged in a pleasing manner, interspersed with vibrant, colorful flowers.
Brilliantly colored butterflies fluttered gracefully, and bees buzzed in figure-eight patterns.
His ears picked up the fluttering of insect wings, birdsong, and the roars of unknown beasts.
Rain was momentarily dazed, unsure if he had been teleported to some unknown forest realm or if this was merely an illusion. Especially since he was still embracing the lithe-bodied Anna, the scene identical to what had occurred in his room, making it even harder for him to discern the truth.
After a moment's thought, Rain checked his occupation panel and found that he could still see it.
At this moment, Anna was bowing her head, her hands covering her head, her expression one of extreme discomfort.
Gently, Rain patted Anna's back and called out to her, "Anna, Anna?"
Gradually, Anna seemed to feel better.
She first looked up, then at the surroundings, and immediately displayed a look of bewilderment and surprise. Her wide eyes fixed on Rain, and then, as if realizing something, she exclaimed, "Rain, where are we?"
Hmm?
From Anna's expression, it seemed she saw the same verdant forest as he did.
No mistake, read the flawless version at 69shu! 6=9+shu_basou.
Was he truly teleported to some secret realm?
Was the Silver Tome a gateway to this realm?
What immense power! Rain thought to himself.
For a moment, Rain didn't know what to do.
The current situation was far beyond what he had expected.
Suddenly, deep within Rain's heart, a faint voice seemed to call out, "Come closer... here."
Rain listened intently, and it seemed he could vaguely make out a female voice.
Rain glanced at Anna, and both could see the surprise in each other's eyes. "Anna, did you hear that?" Rain asked.
"Yes! It seems to be calling us over there," Anna nodded.
Clearly, both of them had heard some kind of summons from ahead.
After a moment's thought, Rain decided to go and see. Otherwise, staying put would only leave them staring blankly.
So, Rain, with Anna in tow, slowly walked forward.
It seemed they were heading deeper into the forest, and the trees became denser.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking branches echoed, and a massive brown bear appeared before them. This bear was over two meters tall and four to five meters long, nearly twice the size of the Ivory Coast bears Rain had seen in his previous life.
Suddenly, it stood up and roared at Rain and Anna.
The deafening roar reverberated in all directions.
Rain sidestepped, positioning himself in front of Anna. After returning home, Rain had removed his greatsword, and he wasn't carrying the Radiant Greatsword at this time.
But some things had to be done, with or without weapons.
As Rain prepared to engage the giant bear in hand-to-hand combat, something unexpected happened.
After the bear's roar, it shook its massive head and walked away, gradually disappearing into the thicket.
Rain and Anna exchanged glances, both unsure why the bear had suddenly abandoned its attack.
After a brief pause, they continued forward.
Soon after, another surprise occurred.
A black shadow flashed from not far ahead of them!
Rain's pupils constricted as he made out a large black panther.
At this moment, the panther was hiding in the thicket, silently staring at them.
Rain once again shielded Anna behind him, facing off against the panther.
But before long, the black panther also mysteriously left.
At this time, Rain had a vague guess.
However, he didn't say anything and continued forward with Anna.
After a long while, they finally saw a small clearing deep within the thicket, with a faint glow emanating from it.
The two quickened their pace.
As they approached, they saw a well in the clearing, reflecting the moon in its waters, with gentle ripples on the surface, identical to the well depicted on the silver cover.
"So beautiful!" Upon seeing this, Anna walked to the well, her fair hand reaching out to touch the water involuntarily.
Suddenly, as Anna's white fingers touched the water, the well erupted with violent ripples, instantly shattering their reflections.
The next moment, the surroundings rapidly transformed. The trees around them stretched and changed color like dough, and everything became unrecognizable.
It seemed like an instant, but also like an eternity.
When Rain and Anna snapped back to reality, they realized they had returned to the room, and Anna still held the Silver Tome in her hand.
However, the cover had changed again, reverting to its original appearance, and the mysterious 'Moon Well' was nowhere to be seen.
"Rain, this..." Anna was at a loss for words.
Rain's gaze remained fixed on the 'Silver Tome' in Anna's hand.
The next moment, Rain reached out to reopen the Silver Tome, but he paused mid-air, recalling the discomfort he had felt earlier, leaving him apprehensive.
However, after a moment's thought, Rain continued to open the Silver Tome and turned directly to the second page.
Indeed, the content within was already drastically different.
The first line, written in Common, read: "Congratulations, you have passed the Willpower Trial of the Druid Circle."
