Chapter 22 Sean's Plan
Sean looked at Alhaz's fanatical expression and listened to his almost second-rate remarks, but he felt speechless in his heart.
Of course he didn't plan to give up the book, nor did he give up continuing the summoning ceremony. He just didn't want to bring Alhaz to play with him.
After several days of observation, he has been very sure of one thing-Alhaz is a cheater.
Although he is very useful to master some knowledge of mysticism, his poor personality greatly reduces his usefulness. When he works, he is always unreliable at critical moments, and he has obvious covetousness for old books.
He originally wanted to develop Alhaz into a teammate and partner who could trust, but after several days of cooperation, he quickly realized that this was not wise.
However, although he saw that Alhaz was a cheater, he did not expect that he would be so thoroughly that he did such a crazy thing. He would even blew himself into the water and force him to walk with him. This was something Sean could not tolerate.
Disadvantage of work is a problem of ability, and now such threatening behavior is a problem of attitude.
Before, he was thinking about getting together and parting ways, but at this moment he realized that if this time bomb was not eliminated, it would be a problem sooner or later. He did not think that Alhaz would give up his old books and be his university professor with peace of mind.
If he is arrested by the police, he doesn't think the other party will keep his mouth shut and will not pull himself into the water.
His eyes stared at Alhaz's face for a while, and suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, you said you are not crazy. Look at the crazy words you just said. It seems that my decision is indeed correct. This book is a disaster. It has already caused you to be pitiful insanity. You actually want to use such nonsense to force me to submit.
If I guess correctly, your badge was hidden by yourself. Huh, I'm not that easy to be fooled.
But don't worry, this crazy curse book will soon be no longer a problem. I originally wanted to seal it up, but now I have changed my mind and I want to destroy it, burn it, and let it disappear completely from the world. This book will only bring disaster to us."
Alhaz looked at Sean in disbelief and said almost roaring: "No, you can't do this! Don't you understand yet, since the moment we kidnapped Little Lanster, we have no way to look back."
Sean shook his head, "No, of course I can do this. I will burn it early tomorrow morning and continue to be my university professor. Things will soon pass. Goodbye Alhaz, so calm me down at home and don't be fascinated by greed."
Sean sneered at Alhaz, turned around and pushed the door and walked out.
Sean chose to go home directly and went to a bookstore near the block.
Dangdang, Sean knocked on the door of the bookstore, and the lights quickly lit up in the crack of the door. The small window on the door was opened, revealing the vigilant eyes of the bookstore owner. When Sean saw that it was Sean, he was relieved.
"Rationality is above all, what did Professor Sean do here so late?"
"Have the book I ordered arrived?"
"Of course, it was just delivered in the afternoon. Are you so anxious? Why not wait for tomorrow..."
Sean shook his head: "I'm going to go out for a long trip tomorrow. I plan to use this book on the road for fun. Of course, if you insist, I can't buy it. But it may take a long time for me to go there, and I may no longer need this book when I come back."
When the boss heard that the business was going to be ruined, he hurriedly opened the door and said, "Ah, please don't care what I said. Come in. It is my honor to be able to serve a respectable customer like you - but such unpopular academic books are not cheap. In order to get it, I specially found a book dealer I knew and imported from abroad, which took a lot of effort."
Sean smiled slightly, took out a ten-gold pound note from his pocket and handed it over, "Is this money enough to make up for the energy you have spent?"
Ten gold pounds are not a small amount of money, and it is enough for a farmer to spend a year.
The bookstore owner immediately lost his resentment and happily welcomed Sean in, and took out a large book with a thick cover from the back room: "Deciphering the Secret Words of Esia"
This is a summary of the data of Faris scholars on the research of ancient Essian ruins. The Zhou chapters are all technical summary of various inferences, academic research and semiotics. Sean looked through a few pages. Although most of the content is theory and speculation, it is still a rare reference material, especially the copy of the Essian ruins murals in the book. The characters on it made Sean immediately think of the text in the middle of the Book of Old Day. With it, at least he can interpret the middle part of the Book of Old Day from a theoretical perspective.
"Professor Sean, I'll give you a rude reminder, this kind of book is somewhat sensitive, and I don't want to cause trouble."
"Don't worry, there will be no other person except me who will see this book - in fact, I have never been here tonight."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Sean was about to leave when he suddenly caught a glance at a book on the bookshelf. He took the book off the bookshelf: "How much does this cost?"
The bookstore owner took a look and found that it was a children's book that was not valuable. He had just made a big profit and was very generous because of this.
"I gave it to you, it's better to add a lot of money."
"Thank you then."
Sean said, turning around and leaving the bookstore.
When he got home, he immediately locked the door, lit the kerosene lamp, and began to pack up his luggage.
He wasn't sure if Alhaz had actually left the badge in Little Lanster's room.
He wasn't sure if the police in the Sword Castle would eventually come to him, but he wasn't going to stay and gamble on his luck.
No matter the truth, he planned to leave the sword castle first, find a place to avoid the limelight, and study the ancient secrets in this old book.
Considering that he was going to travel far, he chose a large suitcase.
The Book of the Old and Spirit Water were first put in, and then a few pieces of clothing, a coat, several books "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Brighton", "Deciphering of the Secret Words of Esia" and the first edition of "Biographies of the Knights".
In addition, of course there is money. He took out bundles of banknotes and bags of gold and silver coins from the safe. Most of the royalties he earned from writing books over the years were here. After counting, it was about 3,000 pounds.
There are also some railway stocks that he invested a few years ago and have increased their value in these years at least tripled.
He put most of the money in his suitcase and kept some with him. After hesitating for a while, he put the stock back.
This thing is not easy to monetize, and he feels that he may still have a chance to come back in the future.
Of course, weapons must also be worn, a dagger, and his cherished revolver.
Everything is ready to stop, just wait for tomorrow to set off.
However, before leaving the Sword Castle, he still has one more thing to deal with.
Sean found a hammer and began to smash each mirror in the room one by one. When he arrived at the study, he looked at the mirror opposite the desk, but stopped.
The mirror faces the desk with a great viewing angle. The frame is silver-plated, with cumbersome patterns and exquisite carvings. It is placed on an iron shelf of crosses. Sean checked the structure of the mirror and found a place suitable for tying the ropes at the back, which is very suitable for his next plan.
