This book is not a book, but a mysterious object.
While Melina looked at this book, a flow of information composed of magical factors quickly poured into her brain, making her understand it just like the earliest humans who knew danger when they saw fire and were afraid when they heard thunder. message.
Magic factors can leave traces without language or text. After a directional magic factor is recharged, it can reveal the secrets of the past.
The information in her mind was quickly decoded, and words composed of magic factors appeared in Melina's sight:
【The Book of Jealousy (Thickened)】
【Wonderful objects.Books】
[Main Criteria: Beasts, Dancers]
[When the main criteria are met, get 'Jealous: Level 1']
[Burning with Jealousy: Provides the magic power level, magic scale level, and material protection level of 'Jealousy Burning Level*1' (using magic to attack creatures is less likely to destroy materials)]
[Secondary Principles: Combination and Cruelty, Temptation and Persistence]
[When the secondary criteria are met, obtain 'Jealousy and Madness: Level 1']
[Jealousy and Madness: The magic factor is more aggressive and less defensive]
[Looking at others is a death sentence. If you don't love me, you'll be punished by death. Abandon me, death penalty~]
Melina rarely fell into a little bit of fear.
What happened?
Why is this book so scary?
The Book of Jealousy?
It’s so scary to watch!
Melina rubbed her belly, but her eyes were still bright. Rare objects were not uncommon in this world, but good ones were relatively rare. Most of the rare objects were heavy and difficult to use. For example, if you are carrying a marble statue on your back, the statue provides useless items such as [Prevent Flash: Level 1].
And although this book is relatively thick, it is definitely a good product!
Double attack on strange objects!
Although, although [Burning with Jealousy] and [Crazy with Jealousy] don't sound like good terms, they both add attack power, and they are still the magic damage that I am better at. It can greatly make up for the gap in gun output and explosive power. Another reason why muskets are not widely used among explorers is that these weapons are more suitable for magic, but they have a high share of magic factors, so they are in an awkward situation.
But Melina is different. She is a spellcaster wearing a physical system, and her main focus is to use magic to fight bursts.
The important constraints of this book, that is, the need for principles and secondary principles, are also equivalent to nothing for her.
As an omnipotent Meimei who masters all seven principles and understands all twenty-five principles, there are no restrictions on its use. Not only can it be hung on the body, but it can also be used to record the talisman and hold it in the hand. , just right for an explorer like Melina who can have one hand free.
The Book of Jealousy itself is a readable book. Even after opening it, the sentences inside make people feel very uneasy and scared, but you can still record some talismans in it for use.
Anyway…
Get out of the queue!
No no no…
Shipping!
Melina jumped out of bed with the book in her arms, held it in her arms with her left hand, and punched heavily with her right hand.
While punching, another thing made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Just when she was shaking her fist, she felt that the world was so heavy, so heavy, and the burden of life seemed to crush Meimei all of a sudden.
Her body was not as agile as when she was in the dream, and she could feel that her nervous response was infinitely better than her current physical body. The speed of punching also became very slow. She felt at this moment as if she had turned on the 10x speed in the mobile game and suddenly returned to the normal speed where acceleration could not be turned on.
How is this going?
Or is it because it was a dream?
Is that why my thoughts are so powerful?
But why is there no way to defeat Alice...
Alice.
Melina couldn't help but frown when she thought of this name. That woman, no no no, should be that creature. She shouldn't be human in nature, but she thinks she is human? The opponent's strength and speed were at the same level as his own. No, it should be said that the speed was faster, but the strength was worse.
This incident shows that the dream world is not 'you can be as strong as you want', and it is not necessarily a dream.
Why is that Alice there? Why did you appear there?
Items obtained there are brought into reality.
Melina checked her body, and there was no sign of being moved at all. It could be said that it was as if she was in a dream.
Will the senior know about this?
Melina put the book on the table carefully, went out to wash up, came back and changed into daily clothes, then walked downstairs with the book and the parasol.
…
"This soup cannot be made by an old elf cook with thirty years of skill!"
"Ingredients purchased in Haiwenli. Local thick fresh milk from Hanyu Snake Town in the country of mysterious islands, Rizhao mushrooms from Rizhao Mountain, and large wild boar meat from around Jufu Lake. They are all good ingredients."
"..."
As always, Lao Mo boasted about the dishes he cooked for probably ten minutes. Sonia probably thought it was a cross talk. When she saw Melina coming down, she waved to Lao Mo:
"You're so particular. It's such an honor to be able to eat this dish for breakfast!"
She talks like an emasculated hermaphrodite. But the elves couldn't hear it, and elves like Lao Mo couldn't hear it, so they thought it was a compliment to him.
"Okay, thank you for coming here. Don't you still have something to do in Liangpu Town?"
After sending away Old Mo, Sonia greeted Melina who sat down and said:
"Xiaomei, you got up a little late today? That's not okay. How can young people not endure hardships? Work is a blessing."
She smiled, and when she saw the book Melina put on the table, she stopped smiling in confusion:
"This book is?"
"What's wrong with the rare item I got earlier, which is used to record talismans? You haven't seen me use this book during the week?"
Melina said nonchalantly. He took a sip of Lao Mo's special breakfast. Although this elf likes to brag, he is indeed good at cooking. While savoring her breakfast, she watched Sonia's expression with her peripheral vision, trying to discern some clues from her senior sister's face.
But no matter how I peeked, I could only see a very pleased look on the senior sister's face.
This kind of expression is called: [My Xiaomei really loves reading]
…I can’t stand it any longer.
...I want to punch this guy.
Melina took a deep breath.
The door rang, and Maria walked in from the outside. She took off her coat and said at the same time:
"Has Lao Mo gone back? I saw him at the door."
"Well, I'm back. Come and eat it. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Sonia greeted.
Maria, who had blond hair and silver eyes and looked like a big sword, was holding a pile of letters on the table. She sorted out the thickest pile and pushed it in front of Sonia:
"your."
About a dozen letters and three geological journals.
"mine."
A latest urban gossip magazine, an occult book, and a letter.
Malia pushed it in front of Melina.
"your."
"Do I have a letter?" Melina was very surprised and blinked.
"Maybe it was the salesman who knew you were moving in?" Maria speculated, "When I first moved in, I received a sales letter from Tom and Hanks Department Store in Haven."
"whee."
Sonia Jiejie smiled strangely, "I bet 1 gold leu, it belongs to Miss Louisa."
"No way?"
Maria pursed her lips, frowned, and said, "Amei just sent the letter yesterday, and the other party only received it in the evening. Unless the other party replies immediately after receiving the letter and catches the last train, it will definitely not arrive this morning..."
"1 gold lei?"
Maria bit her lower lip and muttered:
"It's not reasonable at all. Just say so. Once you receive it..."
"1 gold?"
Sonia was like a provocative kid, her expressions and movements were particularly unbeatable.
Lao Ma couldn't bear it immediately and slapped the table:
"Okay! Come on! Open it for me!"
She pointed at Melina.
Melina rolled her eyes at the two seniors, opened the envelope with a sullen face, looked at the letter, and raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Dear Melina, this is your loyal friend Luisa."
She raised her head and saw Maria closing her eyes, taking out Jinley from her pocket and placing it in the hands of Sonia, who had a strange smile on her face.
"Lao Ma, Lao Ma!"
"..." Lao Ma's mouth must have been unclean, and she said something like 'XX is really awesome'.
Sonia sighed, lowered her head and opened the letter herself.
I also read one:
"Dear Thor, I can see the word, and what you said is that the town of Hamlet is in need of redevelopment, and everything is booming and full of vitality. I am looking for a port to share the gospel of gin with our Atlantic countries. Brothers and sisters. No more words, I hope you can reply to me as soon as possible about the port. I am eager to get a positive answer and make a lot of money together. Love you Lin. "
She put down the letter and laughed:
"Some people already want to invest here, look!"
Maria and Melina looked at each other, and finally decided that Melina would give the reminder.
"Um, Senior Sonia?"
"Um?"
"As far as I know, gin requires a franchise in the Atlantic countries, and there are import taxes. Most importantly, the Atlantic countries recently issued a decree "Article 19 Prohibition Regulations on the Control of Alcohol and Cigarettes", which has also been It's called the Prohibition Act for short. The goal is to reduce drunks, increase alcohol taxes, and improve urban atmosphere, so..."
"So is it illegal for us to provide a port?" Sonia looked serious.
"Well."
"So you can be sure that our friends really don't have the franchise and will really sell alcohol to Atlantic countries. Will they really not apply for a declaration of additional import taxes?"
Of course not... Melina thought, and then suddenly realized, eh! There is no evidence at all?
"So, people like you just follow the wind and it rains!" Sonia said proudly, "The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. Do you understand? The waves in Atlantic Country are too big now."
Melina ate the toasted crispy bread with the mushroom soup. The simple and earthy aroma of garlic and bread enveloped it with a pure taste. She breathed a sigh of contentment, opened the letter, and chuckled.
Louisa is still the same as before.
It's a long letter.
There are three and a half pages of paper, all filled with articles citing scriptures, which makes people confused. The really important point is at the bottom.
Melina put away her smile and tilted her head:
"Ah? She can be here at noon today?"
Sonia and Maria both put down the letters in their hands and stared at her.
Lao Ma was mumbling that sentence again.
Sonia chuckled:
"Then we have to get ready quickly. After breakfast - Lao Ma, the land under our manor has been temporarily requisitioned by me as a guild. Please help me check out the entrustment and those who went to Raccoon Town to handle matters. For a private commission from the team, bring your money bag with you. Remember, if there are any commissions for the Radiant Bog Dragon, the Sea Erosion Dragon, and the Weeping Peninsula's large-scale earthquake, come back and tell me immediately."
"As for you, Xiaomei, do you mind going out together? I need to collect some data on the pure white forest."
