I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 408: Searching for the Book of the Abyss

“Hello, 1 am Kang Lin, you must be the miraculous young man Cecilia talked about, Song Jian!” Dr. Kang Lin reached out his right hand and said with a smile to Song Jian.

Having shaken hands with Dr. Kang Lin, Song Jian couldn’t help but ask: “Can I know where Priest Cecilia is? Did she give you my information? She told me to find you, what is the matter? Also, is my Follower also here?”

Dr. Kang Lin was taken aback, then laughed: “You have too many questions, why don’t you ask Cecilia yourself? Please follow me!”

Song Jian glanced at the golden sphere in the middle of the library, nodded, and followed Dr. Kang Lin towards the passage ahead;

The two of them walked along the interior passage of the library until they reached an elevator;

Through the elevator, the two reached the third floor. In a spacious room, Priest Cecilia was sitting in front of a desk with a serious look. She was deeply engrossed in a thick book. There were also about ten other books scattered on the desk. It seemed she was looking for something in the books;

Upon seeing Cecilia, Song Jian finally exhaled in relief. Although she looked a bit weak with a pale face, her breath was very stable, and it was clear that she had a good recovery;

“Cecilia!” Song Jian couldn’t help but call out, his tone full of resentment.

“You’re here, sit down and wait for me. I’m reviewing some materials.” Cecilia looked up at Song Jian and pointed casually towards the sofa next to her;

At this moment, Dr. Kang Lin smiled slightly and left the room, closing the door behind him;

Song Jian had no choice but to sit and wait patiently;

After about ten minutes, Cecilia finally closed the book with a heavy sigh;

“Cecilia, where did you take my Follower?” Seeing Cecilia finish reviewing, Song Jian couldn’t help asking.

“He is a soldier of the Goddess of Dawn and naturally returned to where he should go!” Cecilia said seriously: “Your actions, to put it lightly, is an abduction of the Goddess’s guardian, and to put it harshly, it is blasphemy!”

“In ancient times, you would have been burned to death on a pyre by the followers of the Goddess of Dawn! But the goddess is merciful, she kept your merits in mind, thereby remitting your sins, and will not pursue this matter further. If 1 were you, I would go to the Dawn Temple, kneel before the Goddess and pray for a hundred days, thanking the Goddess for her mercy!”

Song Jian opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and helplessly looked at Cecilia;

“Alright, Follower has huge potential and will surely become a Knight of Dawn. He is now receiving training in the Goddess’s temple. Following you would only waste his talents!” Cecilia looked at Song Jian and continued, “Of course, you can continue to summon him for help in the future, but the frequency must be limited. You can only summon once a month at most. If too frequent, it would disrupt his training!”

“What, 1 can only summon once a month?” Song Jian’s eyes widened as he asked incredulously.

“Don’t forget, he is a soldier of the goddess!” Cecilia’s voice inadvertently rose a few degrees!

“Alright, you win!” Song Jian sighed and said helplessly;

“Very good.” Cecilia’s lips curled up slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, looked at Song Jian, showed a hint of softness in her eyes, and said softly: “I also want to thank you for saving my life. Otherwise, the Abyssal Power might have corroded and destroyed my body!”

“Right, I haven’t asked what happened yet?” Song Jian seemed to recall something and asked hurriedly: “Didn’t you say that once we get the Book of Abyss, we can completely eliminate the Abyssal Demon?”

“The Book of the Abyss contains the fundamental Abyssal Power. With it, we can completely kill the Abyssal Demon. However, I was ambushed by a group of giants while fighting against the Abyssal Demon after releasing its seal. The Book of Abyss was also snatched by those giants, and the Abyssal Demon banished me into the Abyssal Land while it got the chance…” Cecilia looked at Song Jian, a flicker of fright in her eyes.

“Fortunately, the place where it banished me to was the Desolate Highland of the Abyssal Land. There aren’t many powerful monsters there. I did my best to escape from there, but I was seriously injured. If it weren’t for your rescue, I guess I would have died now.” Cecilia gave a faint smile, looked at Song Jian, and a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes.

“It’s good that the Abyssal Demon finally died at my hands. You said it wouldn’t come back to life, would it?” Song Jian said with some worry.

“The Abyssal Demon hates you even more than it does me. I didn’t think it would come after you when it hadn’t fully recovered.” Cecilia seemed to think of something and couldn’t help but chuckle: “With the blessing of the goddess, if it had fully recovered, I guess you wouldn’t be sitting in front of me now.”

“But don’t worry, even though I didn’t kill it, the Book of the Abyss has reclaimed its resurrection power. After death, it won’t come back to life again.” Cecilia said;

“That’s good, by the way, you called me here for what?” Song Jian asked.

“I’m reviewing information about the giants who ambushed me…” Cecilia said: “The giants spread around the world in the form of tribes. The ones who ambushed me are similar to the Abyss Giants in the legends. However, more than a thousand years ago, the Abyss Giants disappeared from this world. According to the data, their entire tribe entered the Abyssal Land and became real Abyssal creatures!”

“You know, Abyssal creatures are repelled by the world’s forces when they enter our world. It’s puzzling why those five giants can freely move about in our world…” Cecilia furrowed her brows slightly.

“Why think so much? Just find them and kill them, just like the Abyssal Demon!” Song Jian stood up and said.

“It’s not that simple, this involves the force of the world,…” Cecilia suddenly hesitated, looked at Song Jian, and said: “Forget it, all this talking is useless, you’re right, we must find them no matter what!”

“Song Jian, I need your help. Can you help me find these giants and bring back the Book of Abyss they took?” Cecilia stood up, looked at Song Jian and asked.

System: Cecilia, the Dawn Officer, issued you the task “Find the Book of Abyss”, would you like to accept?
