"Roselle's secret treasure."
Mania's eyes lost focus for a moment, as if she was gazing into the distant past, then she said, "That is an ominous item. Because I controlled it, I brought about my own demise, which forced me to be separated from my child. Are you sure you want it?"
What Mania possessed wasn't a clue to the roselle's secret treasure, but the treasure itself?
Lex's breathing immediately became heavy. He nodded vigorously, "Yes, Madam. I hope to obtain it. I hope it can enhance my strength, any aspect of strength will do."
Mania looked at the diary in her arms, then smiled, "That's good then."
Lex didn't understand her meaning, and Mania didn't explain. The lady put down the diary, stepped back, and then said, "If you want to obtain it, you must grant me eternal peace."
"I know you can do it. The item in your hand has the aura of the 'Sun'. It can purify me, right?"
If he used Holy Light, he could indeed purify evil spirits.
Lex nodded.
Mania spread her hands and said, "Then use it to purify me. When I disappear, you will be able to obtain the roselle's secret treasure. It's in the Captain's Cabin."
Lex said in a deep voice, "Madam, are you sure you want to do this?"
Mania smiled, "I'm sure. I have no regrets."
"Very well then."
Lex activated 'Devil May Cry', drew his tachi, infused it with spirituality, then glanced at Mania again, and made a cleaving motion towards her.
A brilliant, dazzling pillar of Sacred Light descended from the sky. It glowed with crimson and sacred golden flames, falling directly onto Mania's body. The lady closed her eyes and spread her arms, as if to embrace something.
She smiled, letting her hat and dress burn. Finally, her figure gradually disappeared into the Light.
Kardashian instinctively recoiled from the sacred pillar of light. She narrowed her eyes slightly, watching Mania disappear bit by bit into the Light, and shook her head, muttering in a low voice, "What a waste."
If she could accommodate an evil spirit like Mania, her strength would increase significantly, but she did not stop Lex from doing so.
Soon, the sacred light disappeared, and the woman who had lingered on the ship for over two hundred years also vanished. But in the spot where she had been, a nearly ethereal crystal appeared, shimmering with a dreamlike glow inside.
"Madam Mania's beyonder characteristics?" Lex reached out, picked up the crystal, put it in his pocket, and then quickly went into the Captain's Cabin.
In the Captain's Cabin, Lex saw a black female statue on the bed. It seemed to be integrated with the bed itself, which was exactly the same as the scene he had seen in the photograph of the writer Trollope.
At this moment, the black female statue on the bed gradually changed. The hard wooden texture became soft, and the dark color began to recede, revealing a lady with her hands clasped to her chest, eyes closed, as if asleep.
Mania!
It turned out that this female statue was actually Mania's corpse!
What caused her corpse to undergo such a change?
Before Lex could figure out this question, he saw Mania's corpse quickly dry up, eventually turning into dust. Amidst the pile of dust on the bed, Lex saw something remaining.
He blew a breath, clearing away the dust, and saw a playing card.
The front of the card depicted a man in full silver armor, raising a greatsword. Behind the man, a Light, like dawn and dusk, emanated, and in front of him were towering mountains.
However, the tallest mountain only reached the man's waist, indicating that the man in full armor was an undeniable Giant.
And Lex was very familiar with the man's appearance; he had seen it in many history-related books.
This was Emperor Roselle!
In the upper left corner of the giant-like Roselle figure, brilliant starlight flickered, forming a line of text.
Sequence 0: Twilight Giant!
A buzzing sound echoed in Lex's mind.
Twilight Giant?
Is this a blasphemy card? Which pathway does it correspond to?
Lex couldn't help but pick it up. As he picked up the card, he saw the colors of the scene before him rapidly intensify, saw the dust dancing in the air solidify, and then, an illusory, thick tome slowly descended from above his vision.
For a moment, Lex was dumbfounded.
The Mysterious Book actually descended on its own? Is it because of this 'Giant' card?
He instinctively caught the Mysterious Book, and saw one of the symbols on its cover go from blurry to clear, eventually revealing a playing card pattern, though the pattern on the card was constantly changing.
"New function unlocked?"
At this moment, the Mysterious Book opened on its own. The pages rustled, and when it stopped, a page with mottled texture and deep color appeared.
On it was a frame, similar in shape and size to a playing card.
Next to it, there was a line of text: Blasphemy Projection.
"Blasphemy Projection?"
Lex looked at the frame on the page, then at the 'Giant' card in his hand. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. He took a deep breath and placed the 'Giant' card onto the frame on the page.
Immediately, a soft Light illuminated the frame. It flowed like water, from top to bottom, over the 'Giant' card on the page, which reminded Lex of a scanner.
After the flowing light passed back and forth several times, one Roselle Gustav after another appeared on the page.
He was either a Warrior, or wearing a Gladiator's armor, or wielding a sword and hammer, or in full armor, or protecting his companions.
Lex felt the muscles in his face twitching.
Emperor, how self-absorbed are you?
At the same time, he understood that what he was seeing now should be the Mysterious Book analyzing the content of the 'Giant' card, and that 'Twilight Giant' was Sequence 0 of the 'Warrior' pathway!
Below the different images of Emperor Roselle, there were corresponding textual descriptions.
'Warrior Sequence 9: Warrior
Potion Formula: .'
'Warrior Sequence 8; Gladiator
Potion Formula: .'
"So, each blasphemy card records the Sequence names and materials and rituals of the corresponding pathway."
"For example, Sequence 3 Silver Knight. The ritual for this Sequence is to set up a complex altar, place the remains of six powerful creatures hunted by oneself in the correct positions, and receive the blessing of a god..."
Lex sighed, "Other things are fine, but getting the blessing of a god, I'm afraid, is not so easy."
After he finished browsing all the content of this 'Giant' card, there was other information at the bottom of the page.
'blasphemy card 'Twilight Giant' has been replicated. The ability projection corresponding to this card can be used.'
'Projection requires one ability slot. Currently, one ability slot is available. Unlocking the second ability slot requires consuming 500 dimensional crystal.'
'Projected abilities must not exceed one's own Sequence level.'
