"You all did very well. Handling such a dangerous evil object isn’t within your capability at the moment. If you find anything similar in the future, you must turn it in at once."

In the Blood Eagle Corridor, Cui Si peruses the "Book of Midnight" that was turned in by the two young gamers, her serious attitude mixed with casual disregard.

As Mo Ni Qiong and Huo Zhen Ting Hao watch the book in front of them, they see that with each page Lady Cui Si turns, a strange burst of spirit energy sparks from the book. These are the echoes of psychic curses attached to the book being broken by Lady Cui Si’s spiritual energy.

This scene makes Huo Zhen Ting Hao break out in a cold sweat.

Just now, he was thinking about flipping through it on the road.

But given the density of the curses on this book, he probably wouldn’t have made it past a few pages before something terrible happened.

These heretics and their damned objects really are horrifying.

"Heretics often use this crude method of mental temptation to entice those with weak willpower. Once you look at it unprotected, it means your spirit will suffer an irreversible impact.

However, speaking of this book itself, it is indeed a legendary object.

And very valuable."

Cui Si shows interest in the various evil techniques recorded in the book, explaining to the two curious young gamers:

"It’s unclear when the original ’Book of Midnight’ was born, but the most credible theory I’ve heard is that it was circulating in the shadows of the continent at least four hundred years ago. It was considered a sacred object by some psychics who had fallen into darkness, but in reality, it’s a grimoire that records a variety of forbidden spells.

It’s said to be divided into three volumes.

The one you found is ’Cunning and Destruction’, which records the skills of the dark and death factions. There’s also the ’True Book of Star Sea’ which records subspace knowledge, and the ’Secret Scroll of Daguan’ which is related to a certain legendary evil God.

You’re quite lucky. You found the least harmful volume.

While the knowledge in it leans towards curses, corruption, and darkness, it doesn’t contain the troublesome power of evil things."

"So, Lady Cui Si, is this the real thing?"

Mo Ni Qiong curiously asks.

Cui Si glances at this little cutie and smiles like she’s looking at a naive child, shaking her head with an array of expressions, saying:

"How can it be authentic?

If it were, the moment you two saw it, you would’ve turned into incurable, twisted lunatics due to the spiritual impact.

This is just a notably superb copy.

However, it’s likely that the recorder witnessed the scroll of ’Cunning and Destruction’ firsthand. Look, they even kindly added some notes.

I heard that the authentic version of the ’Cunning and Destruction’ was personally confiscated from a heretic in the Kato area by the previous purification master of the Circle Tower, Sir Mayreddin, and stored it in the forbidden tower of Circle Tower over a hundred and ninety years ago.

Which was the year before I was declared dead.

Ah, such old stories.

But you did well; you deserve a reward."

Cui Si took out two scrolls from her drawer, hastily wrote commands on them, and gave them to Mo Ni Qiong and Huo Zhen Ting Hao, speaking in a charming and gentle tone:

"Go find the Blood Eagle quartermaster. Each of you will receive a mind protection ring that I handcrafted myself as a reward for promptly turning in the evil object."

"Thank you for your generosity, Grand Duke!"

Mo Ni Qiong, grinning from ear to ear, accepted the note. Upon realizing it was a piece of the "family guardian" set reward, he felt even happier.

This was the current version’s "top-tier set." To acquire a piece just by performing a task was a huge win!

However, Huo Zhen Ting Hao had different expectations.

He whispered:

"Umm... Grand Duke Cui Si, I’m actually quite curious about this knowledge, can I..."

"You want to learn?"

Cui Si rolls her eyes.

In her heart, she thinks that these warriors from another world are recklessly ignorant, in spite of the fact that even vampires, known as "evil things," consider this object as an evil object, he has the audacity to want to learn this.

But then she remembers little Mo Fei’s admonition and after a thought, she says:

"It’s not impossible, but I need to first sift through and eliminate dangerous spells that you shouldn’t learn. Afterward, I will allow you to copy down some of the knowledge. But first, warrior, you must prove your potential as a psychic."

With a prolonged tone, a stern face and a matter-of-fact attitude, Lady Cui Si says:

"First bring me thirty bottles of fine wine. I need them to perform a complex purification ritual on this wicked book. The wines must be no less than thirty years old, and there can be no duplicates.

The longer the storage period, the stronger the purifying power contained within these aromatic items..."

"I got it! I’ll do my best to collect these for you. Thank you for your generosity, Lady Cui Si."

Huo Zhen Ting Hao saw that he had triggered the "Trial of the Trickster Apprentice" task and left the Grand Duke’s office contented with Mo Ni Qiong.

On the way out of the Eagle Blood Corridor, Huo Zhen Ting Hao savored his conversation with Lady Cui Si and muttered:

"This NPC is so enchanting, her appeal radiates to her very bones. I wonder about her favorability level..."

"Shush, shush, shush! Don’t say that! You can’t even talk about this topic! Shut up quickly!"

Mo Ni Qiong, scared, hurriedly covered his mouth and looked around, reminding him:

"Lady Cui Si is Sir Morphy’s official partner. Although it’s not explicitly stated in the game, that’s the kind of relationship they have. You should be careful of what you say. You know Meow Brother and those other high-level players, right?
