Chapter 279. Of course not.

Chapter 279: Of Course Not
“Happy times are always short, and it seems like there’s not much time left to get together with my master.”

He’s leaving?
Saul hurriedly took half a step forward, “Do you have any other golden pages?”

“Yes master, but because of the special nature of the golden book pages, I can’t carry them with me all the time. Most of them were left in other continents, and currently in the western continent, only the Lordless Land still stores one. When master visits the Lordless Land one day, I will naturally return it to you.”

It turned out that the Land of the Masterless still had a golden book page. No wonder Kismet had once invited Sol over in a letter.

Although he still didn’t know its specific purpose, Saul intuitively thought that the more of this kind of book page, the better, naturally.

Just listening to Kismet’s words, that page of the book needed Saul to personally go over to get it, rather than sending it to him like the last one.

“What exactly is the purpose of the golden book page? You should always know, right?”

“Of course I know, but please understand that this is the content that I cannot tell you for now.” Kismet smiled.

Suddenly having a question unanswered was slightly off-putting, but Saul also knew that Kismet had made it clear in the very first meeting that there would be questions that he couldn’t explicitly tell.

After thinking about it, Saul switched to a more important question.

“Kismet, I have one last question.”

“Go ahead, Master.”

“Is the condition for becoming the owner of the Death Witch’s diary that you need to not have any family or friends in this world, and that you can’t kill the original owner of the diary with your own hands either?”

This was the information Saul had gotten from Ralph, but it had never been confirmed.

Kismet froze for a moment, then revealed a meaningful and somewhat self-satisfied smile.

“Of course …… not.”

Thor’s eyes narrowed.

Kismet’s easy, cozy statement dismissed decades of Ralph’s research.

Ralph, in order to become the owner of the diary, slaughtered his relatives, counted his grandchildren, and faced Golza …… straight on All of this and all of these moves have become a huge joke.

At the same time, this also makes Saul more vigilant.

If Kismet knew the real way to become the diary owner, would everything he did be to get the diary as well?
As if he could see Saul’s concern, Kismet took the initiative to explain, ”Please rest assured, master, I will never use the diary. It is even more unlikely that I will become the diary’s owner.”

But how much truth there could be in the words of a habitual liar had to be considered.

“The way to truly become the diary’s owner can’t be said either can it?”

“You are very wise, Master.” Kismet stroked his chest and owed a slight bow, “But I can tell you that the false way to become the diary’s master was actually a rumor I put out.”

“What?” Saul said in surprise, “You were …… to kill someone?”

“I wouldn’t just do it, master. That would dirty my hands.” Kismet shook his long, slender hands, “They have a much more important purpose.”

Looking at Saul with a blank expression, Kismet was a bit puzzled, but he continued to explain with a smug look on his face, “This false information was hidden by me in the deepest part of the rumor. The person who gets it will definitely think that it is the information that he has gotten with great pains and effort, and will be convinced of it.”

Kismet licked his lips, “Master, I’m good, aren’t I?”

“Just by releasing a little bit of information, the only real information they have is even the name Diary of a Death Wizard. By doing so, they can make countless talented wizards come forward to contribute their deaths to the diary. Isn’t it a brilliant idea?”

Kismet held his chin, “Actually, this page of Ralph’s Manor was not within my expectations. At first I was wondering, when I clearly leaked the information to a genius of the Blood Rose family. But who would have thought that the place where the golden book page was finally born was actually an inconspicuous branch of the Blood Rose in the first place, the Bloodthorn Family.”

Now that I think about it, I finally understand, so it’s because one day, you will travel to the Ralph Manor and take the latest born book page!” “So the destruction of the Bloodthorn Family was also your plot?”

Then did Kismet know or not that the diary itself also came from Ralph’s Bloodthorn family?

Did he think he didn’t know, or did he think it wasn’t worth mentioning?
“Bloodthorn wasn’t originally my target to begin with, after all, it was too small back then. I was originally looking at the Blood Rose family, but that genius of theirs was ruthless as well. After discovering the information I left, he slaughtered the huge Blood Rose family cleanly in order to get the diary, going so far as to collaborate with the forces of the Land of the Lordless, burying the entire Kemah Empire’s northern army. But yeah, if he hadn’t done that, he never would have had the chance to kill all his close relatives. And the only misstep he made was that in the end, he was also assassinated, leading to the clues hiding the diary being taken away by Bloodthorn’s people.”

The history told by Kismet matched all that Saul knew.

It sent chills down his spine as he listened.

So many people had killed their entire families without a second thought just to get the diary!
But even more chilling was Kismet, who had buried an unknown number of people with a single lie in order to coalesce the golden pages!

However, it seems like the Battle of Droopy Hollow in the Western Continent was seventy or eighty years ago, wasn’t it?

It doesn’t sound like this is the first time Kismet has killed someone using the diary’s “rumors”.

How old was this guy and what was the purpose of creating the pages?
Unfortunately, Kismet won’t tell Saul any of this.

There was a brief pause in the conversation.

Saul was thinking while Kismet just smiled at him.

At that moment, the giant bird appeared in the sky again, and this time flew straight towards where the two were.

“It seems that the master has no other questions for the time being, so here’s one last piece of advice for you – since you’ve already gotten your hands on the diary, you’re bound to face more death. This is the danger and opportunity that fate brings.”

“Does this fate include you as well?”

“That is correct, my lord.” Kismet said with a calm face, “And if you die in one of the crises, it only means that you are not the true master of the diary. I will continue to look forward to the next owner.”

In the air, the giant bird let out a long chirp as it seemed to notice Sol across from Kismet and issued a warning.

Kira was about to land!
But neither Sol nor Kismet reacted to the giant bird overhead.

“That’s something I believe.” Thor said with a dark grimace.

Kismet could certainly see Saul’s displeasure, but he didn’t care.

“Master, only the more you come into contact with the diary and the more pages you use will you gradually deepen your connection with the diary and become its true master. I sincerely look forward to that day.”

“If it’s just to use more book pages, I don’t think you need to go to that much trouble to trouble me.” Saul said, “At the very least I’ve already used quite a few of the white book pages …….”

Sol’s words finally caused Kismet to reveal a surprised look.

He asked with some uncertainty, “Master, have you really used many white book pages? I’m not questioning your words, but I’m just worried that I understand a lot of them not quite the same as what you said.”

He leaned forward slightly and asked tentatively, “Did you use …… ten pages?”

Saul glances at the diary over his left shoulder and clears his throat, “It seems to be nearly a hundred pages …… That said, is there an upper limit to the white pages of the diary? If there is, I’ll take it easy with it.”

Kismet stiffened.

It was the first time Saul had seen his expression manage to get out of control.

I have to say …… it was pretty cool!
