Chapter 4117: Bone and Blood Secret Code

Miss Bredwe was the lowest-level person among everyone. Miss Felianna was worried that she had missed important clues, so she let Xia De throw her to the high place, and the halfling girl caught her very accurately.

Miss Doll and the halfling girl both entered the coffin to investigate. During this period, Xia De and Gina, Mrs. Gustav stood on the ground and chatted about some things. Xia De asked Gina if she would be willing to take care of an unknown dragon egg if it appeared in Saint Byron's Comprehensive Academy, and the pink dragon girl naturally answered:

"Of course I am willing. Dragon babies that haven't hatched are very fragile. I am very good at taking care of them... But where would there be dragon eggs that no one takes care of?"

Xia De blinked, and at this moment, Miss Bredwe's voice came down from above again.

The halfling girl asked Xia De while digging the edge in the coffin:

"Mr. Hamilton, Miss Felianna asked me to ask you, can this coffin be made smaller and taken away?"

"These coffins are ordinary items, it should be no problem, but is it good to do this?"

Although there were no corpses in the coffins, Xia De would not move coffins with owners at will unless necessary. But since it was Miss Felianna's request, Xia De also climbed up the coffin mountain with effort, took out the folded canvas from the cards, and tried it.

"Although I don't know if it will be useful, you should carry it first."

The petite Miss Feilian, who had sat back down on Xia De's shoulder, said. Xia De actually had a coffin on him, which was prepared for the sealing art "Coffin of the Underworld," but perhaps the coffins in the factory possessed some kind of special nature themselves.

"Do the other coffins need to be taken along as well?"

Xia De then asked, and Miss Feilian shook her head after pondering for a moment:

"Just carry this one for now; we really shouldn't disturb the peace of too many people."

"Alright then."

Xia De grabbed the halfling girl and, amidst her exclamation, jumped toward the ground with her, and they were both caught by Gina. Gina not only had two hands but also a sturdy tail; the three points of support made Xia De feel quite stable upon landing.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the two "forbidden books" in the Kassenrik language that Agelina had recommended to him "this morning," but Xia De had not obtained those two books in the end, so this thought only flashed through his mind.

"Tool room, sacrificial room, coffin room; this is already the third safe room."

When the group arrived beside the mountain of coffins piled up in the corner of the room, the old witch sighed softly:

"It seems Mr. Hamilton's return does indeed mean our adventure is about to end."

"Will the next one be the Life Furnace room?"

The halfling girl asked softly, but no one could provide an answer. The group formed a line and climbed up the mountain of coffins in the corner, with the old witch at the front pushing open the trapdoor on the ceiling. She poked her head up to take a look, let out a sigh of relief, and then said to the three people below:

"It's not the furnace room, there is still no danger, come up."

After she climbed up, she reached out and pulled Xia De up as well, and then Xia De dragged Gina up from behind, while Gina's tail was wrapped around the halfling girl who was carrying the small bucket and holding the small shield.

"Oh~"

Everyone looked up and revealed expressions of amazement.

The narrow room was almost only as large as the washroom in Xia De's house, and the four walls of the room were entirely covered with metal shelves. The shelves were filled with various glass jars, the jars were filled with preservative solution, and suspended within those pale yellow solutions were lumps of flesh radiating miraculous elements or blasphemous elements.

Unlike the various flesh-and-blood aberrations that appeared in this factory, these lumps of flesh did not look disgusting at all; instead, they had an inexplicable sense of order. The flesh did not move at all in the preservative fluid, but tiny sacred runes naturally circled around them.

Xia De did not know what these were, but Miss Feilian and Madame Gustav clearly both identified what they were.

"The 【Creator Sect】's way of passing down power and knowledge was not to record information in books or on stone tablets; the believers of the Ancient Gods created a method of recording information and power with flesh and blood in ancient times. This is somewhat similar to the believers of the Father of Time, who pass down information and knowledge through leaves."

Miss Feilian swung her legs, sitting on Xia De's shoulder and saying softly:

"Adopting the method of flesh-and-blood inheritance clearly has advantages over recording with text. The flesh as a carrier holds not only the information that text can describe, but the flesh can also carry senses and memories. Of course, the disadvantage is that it is harder to preserve, so in the current era, these things known as 'Bone and Blood Codices' have almost gone extinct."

"That must be correct, these are all Bone and Blood Codices. I once saw one in the church that had been passed down from ancient times, but the state of preservation was far from as good as these here."

The old witch said this, and the halfling girl carrying the small bucket asked cautiously:

"How does one use this kind of codex... it wouldn't be that we have to eat it, right?"

Miss Feilian laughed:

"Rest assured, of course not, these can be reused. You only need to hold the jar and press it against your forehead, then meditate on the holy emblem of that Ancient God, and you will obtain the corresponding information and even power."

The doll lady sat on Xia De's shoulder and looked at the entire room:

"A total of 169 jars."

"But what does this mean? Can we take them at will, or will it attract the Shadow of Withering once touched?"

Gina guessed. After the third furnace was lit, most of the rooms the witches had experienced had not appeared in the information they had collected, and at this time, there were no rules written on the walls of the room that could be called a "study."

"My view is that since you have encountered safe rooms in succession, and arrived here when the journey is about to reach its end, then this room shouldn't be something you can only look at and not touch. Combining the situation of the previous few rooms, on the premise of not being greedy, you can try to touch the 'books' that suit you."

Miss Feilian provided her own opinion:

"I will emphasize again, you cannot be greedy. We don't know the rules here, and we don't know if rashly using these 'Bone and Blood Codices' will have other consequences. My suggestion is, if you are interested in ancient knowledge, each of you can pick a jar and try to learn the knowledge within or master the power within."

Everyone trusted Miss Feilian, and her opinion also made a lot of sense. Although the glass jars on the shelves were not labeled, old Madame Gustav taught everyone a method: when meditating on the Ancient God's holy emblem in your heart, listen closely, and you can hear the faint whispers coming from the lumps of flesh in the bottles, and those murmurs are related to the information and power contained in the "Bone and Blood Codices."

Knowledge has weight, and "reading" such ancient codices requires being even more careful about whether one's soul can bear those secret tales and powers.

"I won't try it, after all, this body is not my true body, I'm afraid I won't be able to use these 'books'."

Miss Feilian said, so the witches went to try listening to the sounds. Xia De did not approach the shelves like them, but instead asked Miss Feilian while they were examining those jars:

"In order to face the upcoming enemies, what kind of information or what kind of power do you think I need most right now?"

"Why ask me this question? You should ask yourself. However, I can help you analyze it. Since you said you have already learned sufficiently powerful miracles after leaving, then what you need most right now is probably not lethal power."

The petite witch lady said, so Xia De pondered for a moment, stopped his steps, closed his eyes, and reached out his hand forward:

"Miracle: Moon Library—I want information regarding this 【Filthy Blood Factory】."

This miracle could allow Xia De to directly obtain the books he needed by relying on vague keywords in scenes like libraries and studies, and the current room could barely count as a "library."

It was just that this time nothing responded to Xia De; he could feel that his spellcasting was successful, but there were no "books" here that met the search requirements.

"Again—I want information or power related to the 'Source of Fire'."

On the shelf on the wall behind him, a jar shook violently, and then *whoosh* it flew toward Xia De. Xia De immediately turned around and caught it; it seemed this method was truly effective.

Since the "Moon Library" could perform searches here, Xia De also found suitable "books" for the three witches after asking for their opinions.

Madame Gustav wanted records related to the Ancient Gods, Miss Bladeview wanted secret methods to further enhance the power of the Magic Eye. Gina thought for a moment, and finally let Xia De help her find a means that would allow her to safely transform back into her true dragon form in this factory.

Although Gina had been active in human form for the vast majority of the time since entering St. Byrons, dragons were still better at fighting in their true forms.

Everyone performed meditation according to the method provided by the old witch, and then the knowledge and power were successfully mastered.

Xia De had originally thought this learning method was similar to the memory-sharing technique mastered by Siris, but when his forehead pressed against the outer wall of the cold glass container, the feeling of knowledge and information flooding into his mind at that moment was more like he had actively had a dream, and a dream with his eyes open at that.

A slight change in elements appeared on Xia De; his original intention in searching for this "book" was to find a more efficient way to utilize the Source of Fire, rather than just treating it as an energy storage prop like he was doing now. Of course, if he could obtain a stable and repeatable method for constructing a "Source of Fire," Xia De wouldn't mind either.

But this "Bone and Blood Codex" did not give him the corresponding knowledge, but instead directly bestowed upon Xia De a brand-new miracle.
