Green put his hand tremblingly on the large book that looked enough to be used as a small tabletop, and took a deep breath.

He felt nervous, not entirely because the cover of this book was sewn from a material that looked like human skin, and it wasn't entirely because his fingers touched it. He could feel the warm body temperature and fine sweat, which made him feel that this book was Books seem to be alive.

   The most crucial reason is that the presiding judge told him that a demon general was sealed in this book.

   "Secret Keeper", also known as "Secret", it is also the former number one demon general under the Forbidden Sage.

  The Keeper feeds on secret historical records. Whenever it knows a little-known secret, it will hunt down all those who know it, destroy all records, and ensure that the secret will only be enjoyed by itself forever.

   Rumor has it that anyone who spied on the secrets it kept would torture them to death with extreme cruelty. Nowadays, many stories about being chased and killed by demons after knowing secrets that should not be known are derived from the deeds of this demon general.

   And now, the presiding judge asked him to open the book that sealed the "Keeper of Secrets" alone.

   He felt that the presiding judge wanted him to die.

   "Don't worry, follow the steps I said to flip through the book, and come back when you ask for the answer. I'll keep you safe from any problems."

  Before entering the door, the presiding judge assured him confidently, and gave him a thumbs up after speaking.

Although    said that, Green couldn't help but wonder if this was a special execution method inside the courtroom.

   Looking at this big book whose cover was sewn from skin, Greene took a deep breath again.

   Ever since he was given the status of a "key holder", he has been looking forward to being able to obtain the permission to borrow books on the third floor of the library. Although the books on the first two floors are enough for him, and even the teachers of the entire Blackwater Arcane University to study for a lifetime... But if it is possible, who doesn't want to be able to further learn more profound knowledge of magic?

   "Forget it, I have to take some risks..."

   The presiding judge promised him earlier that as long as he passed this trial, he would be granted the right to borrow the third floor of the library in the future.

  Legend, and even the knowledge of the magic of God's Domain seems to be beckoning to him at this moment, which is a realm that he didn't even dare to imagine he could achieve in the past.

  Although there is no such thing as "seeking wealth and wealth at risk" in their culture, Green still took a few deep breaths, and with a similar consciousness, gritted his teeth and opened the buckle on the book.

   Accompanied by a groaning sound like a sigh, the opened book kept flipping with no wind and making a "crashing sound".

  In the end, the page stopped on a yellowed sheet of paper in the center, which was densely written with sticky red notes. It is mixed with the common script of the flower body, the slender elf script, the moon symbol like a totem, and the wedge-shaped Osis script...

   Before Green could take a closer look at the content above, a pair of hands entangled in chains suddenly stretched out from the pages and grabbed his shoulders like pincers. Then a sinking feeling rose up in his stomach, and when he regained his senses, Green was already in an unfamiliar place.

   "To remember, or to forget?"

   A harsh sound echoed in his ears, it sounded like a metal product was rubbing against a marble table top.

   Not far away, a tall figure, who was firmly tied to a brass column by numerous spiked iron chains, lowered his head and asked.

   "In order to remember..."

  Green answered carefully in accordance with Lord William's instructions.

With the sound of the iron chain dragging along, the figure raised his head and looked at him - although Green didn't know how the other's eyes sewed with needles should "see" him, as if he also didn't Knowing how the other person's mouth sewed with needles and threads makes a sound.

"interesting…"

   The man said hoarsely.

   "Which should be forgotten record do you want to be brought back from history? And, do you understand the price you will pay for it?"

   "Eternal... Eternal silence will be the price I will pay for it, as for what I wish to remember..."

  Green said nervously while swallowing his saliva.

   "All the massive time-shattering records in the world."

  …

  Although the magic general who was sealed there was named "Keeper of Secrets", William knew very well that the other party was most keen on "leaving secrets".

The authority of the    taboo sage is the taboo itself, and the essence of the taboo is the boundary that is not allowed to be crossed. Of course, taboos that cannot be broken have no value in existence.

  Because of this, the five generals under the taboo sages—secret, oath, discipline, morality, and order—all instinctively pursue their own opposites. They can only exert their strongest power by maintaining their state at the moment before breaking the taboo.

As for the secret keeper, who holds the power of "secret", the way he uses to maintain his integrity is the so-called altar of truth - to tell the secret he knows to mortals who are eager to know the truth, and to the other party Kill him as soon as he learns the truth, so as to ensure that his secrets are not really leaked.

  As the incarnation of secrets, the secrets that the keepers know are so vast that they are even less conceited than many kings of nothingness. It can be said that it occupies about half of the information on the third floor of the entire library.

Therefore, at the end of the 1,000-year lunar crisis, this lunar existence that should have been completely eliminated, after considering its potential value, the Tribunal finally decided to seal it permanently and keep it for later use - at least when there was a On the quest line, William chose this way.

   Of course, the main reason is because there is one more book to collect.

  After crossing over, William also planned to interrogate this demon general and extract some effective information from it.

   But the result was a big disappointment to him - he had no idea that this guy's mouth could be so hard, no matter how he threatened to torture him, he couldn't pry even the slightest bit of information from his mouth.

Even if William expressed his willingness to go to its so-called "altar of truth", it would just shake his head and say, "As long as you don't want to die, then I can't kill you, so I will never make a deal with you. "

   After William tried perseveringly for several times, as long as the other party sensed that William appeared around, he would hide directly in the deepest part of the seal and pretend to be dead, no matter how much he shouted.

   This made William so angry that his teeth were itching, but he couldn't do anything—they refused to say anything, what else could he do?

  This road is deadlocked, after thinking about it, William can only think of a way to find other people to find out the secret from it, and then activate the seal at the last moment to save the questioner.

   But to be honest, William didn't really know if the other party would be fooled. At least from a human point of view, this approach is stupid. But for those moon monsters born from the concept, maybe they really can't think of this one...

   Therefore, after seeing the "Keeper of Secrets" dragging Green directly into the book, William's mind was about to let go.

  …

"interesting…"

   "Secret Keeper" who was tied to a copper pillar by chains said with a smile.

   "In my impression, you seem to be the first mortal who wants to know about this. You are really energetic, and of course, you also seem to be insatiable."

   "So what? Can you tell me?"

   In response, Greene asked boldly.

   Can't, can't, can't…

   At the same time, deep in his heart, he kept praying that the other party didn't know. In this way, the risk he has to take is much smaller.

   "You're lucky, I happen to know some records. And I'm sure it's worth your life to trade these secrets for your life."

  …

  Green resisted to scold himself.

   He subconsciously touched his chest. Under the cover of the college's high-collar gown, there was a holy emblem of the Eighth Holy Spirit blessed by the deity himself on his chest.

   gained a little sense of security from that holy emblem, he said:

   "Go ahead, I'm ready."

   There was another sound of chains dragging, and the keeper opened his arms and looked at the illusory deep sky.

"If you want to shatter time on a large scale, there must be a huge change in the existence of the Void King and the Holy Spirit. As far as I know and understand, in history, there are a total of such changes in the Vic Continent. Three times. The first was the 'Twelve Victories' of the 'Moon Bully' Demuge, the second was the 'Mother's Birth' that took place in Ravenwood, and the third, what you call 'The Birth of a Mother' During the period of the Lunar Crisis, the miraculous victory revolved around the 'Lunar Calamity'."

   "Excuse me, where do you want to know from?"
