Chapter 610: 87. Emhardtâs Legacy IssuesâLet go of me! Scumbag! Iâm going to fight you!â
Walking in the corridor, Emhardt, held by Fisher, was fussing and yelling loudly, apparently discontent with Fisher for a long time.
Jokingly, Fisher had kindly paid attention to his health, yet he was treated with such ingratitude. Truly fed, overly pamperedâugh! Scumbag!
âI need to talk to you, stop fussing around.â
Fisher gently released Emhardt, allowing him to float mid-air and look up seriously at him as he spoke.
ââŚWhat is it?â
Emhardt squinted at Fisher, deciding to trust him one last time, and obediently flew in front of him, ready to see what nonsense he was going to spout.
âWhen we were in the Saint Nali Royal Library before, we struck a deal, trading a period of your companionship for the knowledge I possess, right?â
âHmm, what about it? Are you planning to go back on your word?â
Fisher nodded, then shook his head before Emhardt could explode in anger, interrupting his spellcasting,
âYes and no. Youâve been with me for so long, you shouldâve noticed something about the knowledge you seek.â
âHmm⌠The same scent I sensed when we first met still lingers around you. But no matter whether you were plunging into the sea or stripping down, I never saw a damn book on you. According to my trait, I canât sense the knowledge stored in your brain. What secrets are you hiding?â
Fisher didnât speak then; he didnât reach for Emhardtâs body but walked on his own towards his room. The information he was about to disclose wasnât for a third partyâs ears, so upon entering his room, he deployed the Protection Magic from his ring to isolate any sound. Then he sat down comfortably in the chair, looking at Emhardt who floated in behind him, and started,
âI have two books on me that contain bizarre knowledge, the origins of which I cannot reveal to you; you wouldnât be able to see them anyway. But the person who recorded that knowledge has stated that only these books could contain it; no other methods would sufficeâŚâ
Actually, there were others, such as the Cardinal Chip given by the Cardinal, which Fisher had not yet read. But that was because the Cardinal had used special methods to preserve the knowledge outside the Completion Manual, and other methods wouldnât likely succeedâŚ
Thinking this, Fisher prepared to try; he took out some paper and a pen from beside the bed, then called Emhardt over. As he recalled the knowledge from the Soul Completion Manual in his mind, he began to write out the soulâs bizarre traits and information in a systematic language. As Fisher continuously reminisced about the knowledge, the Magic Circuit in his body grew exceptionally bright, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became eerie.
âWait, what are you writing?â
Fisherâs fingers grew slightly cold. The lines of text he wrote on the paper seemed to spring to life the moment they touched the page, wriggling joyfully like tadpoles. Emhardt, watching the entire writing process by Fisherâs side and preparing to record the content with a surge of golden light, suddenly stiffened, shaking wildly in mid-air.
âBuzz, buzz, buzz!â
âAh! My eyes!â
The golden light, which had flowed smoothly while recording knowledge, suddenly crashed after beholding the content Fisher wrote down, almost frying Emhardtâs brain and sending him flying back into the bed like a cannonball.
âEmhardt?â
Fisher also struggled to maintain his grip on the pen, preparing to turn around and check on him, but as he released the pen, the lifelike text on the paper began to move around mischievously, whispering, and quickly dissipated into an unobservable place, turning the entire paper blank again.
âAre you alright?â
Ignoring the blank paper, he hurried to the bed and picked up Emhardtâs body, seeing his mouth slightly open and one eye lifelessly staring at the ceiling. Golden characters uncontrollably fell from his pages, as if something was rampaging within him.
âAh ah! Your mother!â
Just as Fisher furrowed his brow about to flip open Emhardtâs pages, Emhardt suddenly jumped out of Fisherâs hands like he was electrocuted, palpably shaken. He scanned his surroundings, shook his head, and shouted,
âWho is plotting against the great Book Knight?!â
ââŚNo one is plotting against you. Are you okay?â
âMe? I⌠Iâm fine, of course, but⌠my goodness, I remember now. Was what you just wrote the knowledge you carry?â
Fisher nodded and touched his cold palms, saying,
âYes, do you still remember what I wrote?â
âHow dare I remember⌠After unconsciously recording those words you wrote, they rampaged through the pages of my book like a wild beast, trying to escape from my body. They broke many paragraphs and words, and if I didnât open the pages to let them out, Iâm afraid you wouldnât see me again.â
âMmmâŚâ
Emhardt opened his mouth and suddenly, remembering something, hurriedly flew to Fisherâs shoulder, asking incredulously,
âWait, so you mean, the madness you experienced last night was from reading the contents of this book? That chaotic knowledge Iâve never seen before?â
Fisher looked at the unhuman-like Magic Circuit in his hand, paused for a long time, then exhaled a breath of hot air and looked away, nodding as he replied,
âYes.â
âYouâre insane! You dare to read such things. Not just you, a little mixed-blood human, even a Demon of Paimonâs rank wouldnât dare to touch it lightly. Do you think youâve lived long enough and donât want to wait for your ex-girlfriends to do it, planning to end it yourself?â
Emhardt could no longer bother being angry, but flew seriously in front of Fisherâs eyes, sternly meeting his gaze with that one eye and warned him,
âPaimon is a Nineteen Ranks Demon God! Just one step away from a True God above the Ranks, even she wouldnât dare to carelessly look at things from the Spirit Realm or elsewhere! You human scholars really are completely mad. Wait, havenât you been bewitched by the knowledge in here? Is that why you like demi-human females so much?â
Fisher glanced at Emhardt, who seemed to have caught on to some kind of truth, but he did not discuss with him whether they should read the Completion Manual. He had his own plans because he suddenly remembered what the Cardinal had saidâthat only the Completion Manual could withstand the knowledge on it, fearing that naturally Emhardt also couldnât record its content, so he mentioned it ahead.
After all, he was just a book, without a real brain. Fisher had discovered before, his memory and existence depended on the book and the recorded knowledge.
Fisher shook his head without responding, just continuing the previous conversation,
âSo, you should understand by now, you probably wonât get the knowledge from it, and our deal must be voided⌠Do you understand what I mean?â
Emhardt opened his mouth and then looked unbelievably at Fisher, swearing,
âYou want to⌠drive me away? My God, I called you a scumbag just casually before, but I didnât think you were really such a person! Damn, I kind of empathize with those women you fooled. Didnât they stab you after being deceived? I donât have hands, did they not have hands either?â
ââŚWhat nonsense are you talking about? I just wanted to tell you, I probably canât meet the demands of the deal you proposed before. We could make a different deal if you wish. After all, although youâve been harsh in your words sometimes, you have helped me quite a bit, making the journey less boring.â
The floating Emhardt squinted his eyes, taking in Fisher for a moment, then gallantly flew up and stationed himself on his shoulder, saying nonchalantly,
âHmph, thatâs much better⌠but Iâve been sleeping in the Nali Library long enough, itâs time to walk more in this world and collect some books I havenât read before. Iâm too lazy to fly; walking with you is a good choice, except for your issues with women that give me a headache, otherwise, talking with you isnât tiring⌠Most importantly, if I werenât with you, your ex-girlfriend committee would definitely hack you to death, I guarantee it!â
Ex-girlfriend committee?
What is that?
Fisher glanced at the proud Emhardt on his shoulder, ignoring the strange content in his speech, and simply asked,
âSo, we have quite a journey to walk together still?â
âHa, thatâs right. Thank the great Book Knight for his favor and kindness!â
Fisher chuckled lightly and stood up, pulling back the Isolation Protection Magic around the room into his ring. There were hardly ever visible constraints on so-called âdealsâ between him and Emhardt before, so it was natural to completely put that aside now.
Although Fisher usually liked to tease this cheeky book, at least he remembered to try to get any books Emhardt wanted in the future.
Well, it was probably also a unique guarantee of Fisherâs scoundrel nature, right?
âThe journey ahead is still tight; I need to help resolve future issues for the scholars under Valentina⌠like, the Seal of the Snow Fox Species.â
âAh, Snow Fox Species, I encountered their tribe long ago. I must say, each of the six clans of the Phoenix has distinct traits; I guess youâll like them⌠Wait, I just realized something, did you just use the trade issue to dissipate my anger from this morning? And I didnât even notice it!â
âNo such thing.â
â⌠Haha.â
