'Branding Iron Secret Record?!'
Gilan eyes widened.
'It comes from the ancient and mysterious "Spirit Society" spoken by Maive!'
Although he has never heard of the name "Shadai Balbina", the long list of names given in the text of Iridescence is undoubtedly not telling him that the author is an extremely powerful character.
The works written by her are certainly not simple!
His heart suddenly burst out with intense joy.
Isn't this exactly what he wants from his heart, the mysterious knowledge!
Sliding your fingers over the red book cover is like touching your lover's skin. The unique leather texture makes Gilan's heart beat uncontrollably faster.
He couldn't wait to open the red leather handwritten note.
What catches the eye is a gorgeous and elegant handwritten cursive script on the title page. The black ink seems to have gone through a long time, and has a dark ancient luster that has not faded to this day:
"To readers, this is a channeling ritual I wrote on a whim. It can also be regarded as a summary and record of four years of research on 'real dreams'. In addition, I also annotated some mistakes I made when I was young. Be sure not to violate them during the ritual..."
"'Kingdom' exists outside the dream wall, and every scholar who studies mystical arts should know one truth, that is, dreams have no walls."
"Anyone can gain enlightenment from dreams, thereby completing their own purification, climbing upward, and getting closer to God."
"And dreams are also the door that opens 'Path of the Flaming Sword'."
"Only by stepping on the 'Spirit Mystic' of 'Path of the Flaming Sword' can the ritual take effect. Otherwise, it will inevitably violate the taboo and cause the ritual 'Reverse Flow'. It will be too late to regret it by then."
"So before that, you need to make sure that your Gnosis is high enough, otherwise you will not be able to take the first step of 'Path of the Flaming Sword' and you will not be able to see the whole ceremony."
"To this end, I have specially appended an article on the secret method of training Gnosis, which comes from another friend of mine in 'Spirit Society', Mr. Aldin Higgins. He is a 'Long-Lived One' on the 'God-Communing Scepter' path, knowledgeable and friendly, and I would like to express my gratitude to him."
Wow...
Gilan's eyes flashed with a desire for discovery, and his fingers continued to turn the pages of the handbook.
But he soon frowned.
Because most of the content in the first half of the note was written in dense handwriting on the paper, but what I saw was blurry, as if there was an invisible layer of mist blocking it, making the handwriting distorted and uncertain.
'The author said in the message on the title page that I can't see these contents because my Gnosis is not high enough?'
Gilan thought to himself, feeling disappointed.
'But she said that she appended a secret method to the handwritten note, which can temper Gnosis. This is good news!'
Gilan hurriedly turned to the end of the handwritten note. As expected, a secret method named <Iron Thorn Meditation Method> was recorded there, and the handwriting was clearly visible.
Its content is as follows:
"What is 'Gnosis'? It is the perception of the soul."
"Another friend of mine, Mr. Pala Celsus, once talked about this topic with me in an interesting way. What he said was that human imagination is the vision of the soul. The imagination can get a glimpse of things invisible to the naked eye... I think this may be another interpretation."
"Speaking back to 'Gnosis', it is an indispensable qualification and talent for every scholar who studies mystical arts. Only with enough Gnosis can one peep into more mysteries and go further in 'Path of the Flaming Sword'."
This meditation method also mentions that intense pain will occur during the practice. If you don't have tenacious perseverance, I advise you not to try it.
And even if beginners strictly follow the requirements, it will take at least half a month to a month to achieve certain results.
Gnosis's tempering is a step-by-step process, which is a slow improvement process.
<Iron Thorn Meditation Method> It is relatively quick. If it were a meditation method from other schools, it would probably take even longer... months or even years are not uncommon.
'This is completely different from what Mr. Stork said. He said that Gnosis is born with it and cannot be trained...'
Gilan thought.
'It seems that Mr. Stork must have been limited by his knowledge. After all, the lake water in <Black Lake> has the effect of improving Gnosis. Even he was surprised by this.'
Gilan did not rush to start practicing meditation. Instead, he closed the red leather hand sticker, wrapped it directly with colored light, and put it into the dimensional space.
"Did you find anything, Mr. Gilan?"
The girl Maive on the side asked curiously.
She could not see the colored light of "Iridescence" and had no reaction to the red book that suddenly disappeared from Gilan's hand.
"No." Gilan shook his head, turned and left. "Let's get out of here, there's no need to waste any more time."
Maive agreed and followed him obediently.
But when the two of them just returned to the first floor, they suddenly heard a scream coming from outside the house, and Maive's expression changed slightly.
Because the scream sounded like the voice of Dr. Brennan.
"Let's go!" Gilan shouted.
They rushed out of the door quickly and stood stunned at the door together.
I saw Dr. Brennan lying on the ground with his head missing.
Blood was spread all over the floor.
The Black Goat broke free of the rope at some point and turned into a two-meter-tall goat-headed monster. It was riding on the doctor's headless body, holding its legs with one hand and holding the body with the other.
It was also chewing the doctor's head in its mouth.
There is a nameplate hanging under his neck. I didn't notice it before, but there is a name on it, which reads "Mick".
"Ah!!" Maive screamed in horror.
Gilan's pupils shrank sharply. He didn't expect that Black Goat would be a monster. After killing doctor Brennan, he actually ate and played with his body.
This scene was so weird that it made Gilan feel creepy.
'Mick... Yes, it is the object of the village chief's wife's affair, the host of "Witch Demon Society", Mr. Mick!'
Gilan Thoughts flashed in his mind.
At the same time, I felt a strong sense of oppression from Black Goat.
The degree of oppression is far greater than the contaminated Exorcist Orlando.
"Run!"
Gilan grabbed Maive's wrist, pulled her with weak legs, and ran towards the village exit in front of the wooden house.
However, the two of them have already been stared at by Black Goat.
Its dark yellow horizontal pupils stared coldly and ruthlessly at the two fleeing people.
Suddenly, Black Goat threw away the doctor's body and stood up.
He stood in a weird posture, his legs were bent, and his disgusting and hideous work was exposed, and he rushed towards Gilan at a terrifying speed.
'Do you want to quit the movie?'
Gilan turned around sharply, looked at Black Goat who was chasing after him quickly, and asked himself.
'You will encounter this guy again next time. You can't avoid it. Let's test its strength first.'
Thoughts flashed through.
"Run first, don't look back."
Gilan gave a brief instruction to Maive, then let go of her hand, then turned around and ran towards Black Goat.
"Mr. Gilan?!" Maive stumbled forward due to inertia. Her face turned pale and she couldn't help but exclaimed.
