Dawn of the Grey Tower

In a sense, the Sleeper was right. After a short period of depression, Cheese felt relaxed all over. This does not mean that he lost weight in the physical sense, but felt relaxed from the heart. This feeling may be called freedom.

This freedom comes from not being restrained, not being bound by the teacher's message, not being bound by fate, he is free, even if he can see the cage in front of him, he is still free. The freedom that Cheese feels does not come from the subversion that breaks everything. If it is not for other people or for a group, the subversion itself will cost too much, and the new one may not be very good.

If you just want to realize one's freedom, it is much easier to change yourself than to change the world. As for cheese, he didn't feel that he had changed anything, because since he accepted the magic void, most of the restrictions in this world seemed insignificant to him.

"You're right, it feels good. I can act according to my own wishes without worrying about who made the big plan." Cheese's sudden relief even made the sleeper a little dazed. She saw Cheese's facial expression relax quickly, and the hand holding the book became careless.

"This stupid book has troubled me for too long. Since I got it, I have been worrying about whether it has some secrets that I haven't discovered, worrying that it will become the key to the war, and worrying about those unwarranted responsibilities. Those anxieties haunt me like a curse."

"So you're going to destroy it?"

Do not blame the insomniacs for having such doubts. Cheese’s state at this time is indeed like a person who is rebellious under heavy pressure. Those people often subconsciously try to destroy the source of their stress, regardless of whether the source is the real culprit or not.

"Destroy it? This book? No, not at all. My brain was too tense before, which caused me to selectively ignore many things. For example, I thought that the anomaly in the tower happened because the book returned to the gray tower. Now that I think about it, maybe the anomaly is not only the gray tower."

Cheese put the heavy book on the table and stared at it silently. If the origin of all problems is attributed, then only this book is the most suspicious on him. Where did the exception start? I'm afraid it happened as early as when he returned to the North. That would make sense why the monster came to him twice, because he had the book in his hand.

Of course, this is just a rather irresponsible speculation. There is no evidence that the anomalies in the entire Gray Tower and even the ice field were caused by a single reason. If we have to say, it is more credible that the gray robes’ overpowering magic power brought together the changes.

Cheese took out the breath of dawn, turned on the lantern that radiated sunlight, and slowly injected magic power into it. The dual purpose of lamp and sun can not only be used to expel filth, but also the best combination to break the camouflage. Interestingly, since reading this book, Cheese has never checked it with the magic of dispelling illusions.

Not only did he not, but all the gray robes who had come into contact with this book never doubted its authenticity, because they understood at a glance that this book undoubtedly came from the first gray robe, and that person's notes and words were more real than any spells. What if the reality is not like this?

"Squeak!"

Accompanied by the unbearable smell, a layer of sticky black paste slowly flowed from the cover of the book brought back from the City of Ten Thousand Laws. Considering that I still carried it close to my body before, Cheese's expression is very exciting now.

The thick slurry was quickly diluted under the light, and finally turned into a puddle of clear water and evaporated. On the cover that originally had nothing, a pattern slowly emerged, a pattern of eight straight lines running through the same point. However, the difference from before is that under this weird pattern, there is another pattern, the pattern of the gray tower.

The two gray-robed mages present were speechless for the time being. In fact, cheese originally just wanted to see if there was any tracking spell or other spells cast on this book, but he didn't want to show such a thing. And judging by the way the two patterns are nested with each other, they probably weren't printed one after the other.

"Of course you checked the book carefully after you got it. Even if you haven't used this spell, you must have used other more detailed methods, right?"

The sleeper's voice was a little dazed, her thinking was actually much faster than predicted, and so was the cheese. So the conversation became like a string of words in their mouths.

"Of course, I've checked every page of it carefully. While the spell hasn't been used, none of the camouflage should survive until now. Unless..."

"Unless this book has undergone some kind of change around you, maybe it has been swapped, or maybe this change has also affected itself, causing it to slowly distort after returning here. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" The person who spoke was Curse Crow. The conjurer walked into the room calmly and glanced at the book. His calmness is astonishing.

"What did you do just now?" Cheese asked subconsciously, no matter how strange the cursed crow's behavior is now, the reason all points to what he did alone just now.

The latter didn't mean to hide it either. He raised his left hand. The ring finger and little finger were missing from that hand. Together with the metacarpal bone, it was as if it had never existed, as if Curse Crow was born with only three fingers on his left hand.

"I went to verify that message and here is the result. A lie, a lie packaged to look like the truth. You were right not to show this book to other people, it will ruin them."

The truer a lie is, the more terrifying it is. If a lie is so true that a mage like Cursed Crow must personally verify it to determine its authenticity, then its impact will never be small.

It is conceivable that if Cheese didn't let go of his obsession with prophecy because of the sleeper's unintentional words, then he would definitely show this book to more people, such as Warnaby, and even jewelers. They will definitely go to prove it, and suffer the same or even worse results as Cursed Crow.

"How serious is it?" Needless to say, the mages could tell that Curse Crow's hand had no chance of healing. The concept of healing corresponds to injury, and instead of being injured, the conjurer's left hand now looks very normal, except that **** are missing.

"Except for me, there are not too many people who can get away with two fingers. Depending on the field of research, most of them will be very dangerous, and a few will almost certainly go crazy."

The so-called research bottleneck is by no means a threshold that can be passed through trial and error. It must be very dangerous. Passing according to the wrong instructions will bring results that are unacceptable even to the gray robes.
