Chapter 147 I Laughed to Death Because of My Lack of Wisdom

Chapter 147 I Laughed to Death Because of My Lack of Wisdom

Kane frowned as he looked at the passage in Tom's book, while Tom seemed to sense the Shadow Codex and the shadows moving in and out of his body being pulled apart, which meant that Kane could now see him.

Having confirmed this, Tom pressed his advantage: "Don't you want to become even stronger?"

Kane raised an eyebrow. What to say now? Although he'd tormented Tom for so long for this very moment, the thought of having to make a deal with Tom, even though he was Tom's master, made him feel a little humiliated.

Alright, alright, let's just give Tom a little something extra.

"Tell me," Kane said, picking up a pen and writing on Tom's body.

I need your shadow and magic.

Kane raised an eyebrow. Well, this Tom is really asking for it. Kane had already shown him great mercy and spoken to him, yet he still had the audacity to try and negotiate with him.

The assessment is that the training is still insufficient.

Kane readily covered Tom with the Shadow Codex again, letting the shadows move in and out of Tom's body, playing with the limits of restraint.

Then put both of them into the little pumpkin's mouth.

It's time to wake Tom up and tell him who's the father and who's the son now.

the next day...

In a corner of the library, Kane pulled two books out of the little pumpkin's mouth, raised an eyebrow, and wrote on Tom's body, "Get it now?"

[...]

.】

"What is this method you mentioned for becoming stronger?"

【I'm just your poor, innocent senior, why are you doing this to me!】

"Because I am neither pitiful nor pure, now tell me, what is the method you mentioned?" Kane asked leisurely, slowly crossing his legs as he sat in his chair.

You must promise me that you will never humiliate me like that again.

"Can."

I sensed a strange power within your book, exactly the same feeling I had towards you, as if that book were your third hand.

Kane raised an eyebrow. He seemed to understand a little. Just like human fitness, exercising with two hands is fitness, and exercising with three hands is also fitness.

Tom's idea is to train the Shadow Codex, using his extra third hand to become stronger.

Making the Shadow Codex stronger is making oneself stronger, since in a sense, the Shadow Codex is now one's own shadow, the two are inseparable...

Hmm... So this is the real way to use the Shadow Codex?

No wonder Maxwell only learned a few pitiful spells after holding the Shadow Codex for so long... It's not entirely Maxwell's fault, since he can't physically control shadows like I can, so he can't directly integrate the book into his body.

Kane raised an eyebrow as he watched the Shadow Codex writhing wildly within his shadow, giving Maxwell a diss.

As for how to train the Shadow Codex... naturally, you don't need to use dumbbells or anything like that, you just need...

Thinking of this, he took out the remaining walrus tusk from the little pumpkin's mouth, melted down a few gold nuggets and branches, sat on the little pumpkin and conjured a walking cane with his hands, then took out the Shadow Codex from the shadows and melted the walking cane into it.

In an instant, the Shadow Codex seemed to turn into a slime, swallowing the walking staff into its mouth and digesting it, and Kane indeed felt the immediate effect.

My whole body felt lighter, and when I casually took a step forward, I almost couldn't stop myself and bumped into the bookshelf in front of me.

Looking back... well, I'm twelve years old now, and I took a step that was almost a meter or more.

Just as Kane stepped back and sat down in his chair, thinking about how he would absolutely crush Filch or Snape if they ever chased him, an even more authoritative idea popped into his head.

If the Shadow Codex absorbs the Walking Cane, it's equivalent to absorbing the Walking Cane yourself, granting a 25% movement speed boost. But what if you replaced the Walking Cane with... the Lazy Wand?

The Lazy Man's Wand can instantly teleport you to anything within sight.

Although the distance is not as great as Apparition or Portkey, thanks to the Lazy Wand's instantaneous teleportation with no wind-up and being extremely safe, there should be very few people in the entire magical world with higher mobility in battle.

Moreover, it's not just the Lazy Man's Wand; other spells in the realm of eternity, such as various amulets, wands, old ladies' spellbooks, and even long-distance teleportation similar to Apparition Keys if you create a teleportation wand and teleportation focus.

and...

Just as Kane was continuing to dream about the bright future, a chandelier above his head, as if it had been neglected for a long time, broke off a few screws and crashed straight down on Kane.

However, as the Shadow Armor vanished in a flash, Kane simply tidied up the hair on his head and his ears.

Ignoring Death's tedious little games, Kane continued to think about serious matters.

According to Dumbledore, Harry's Invisibility Cloak is the so-called Deathly Hallows, capable of shielding him from the Grim Reaper's gaze, so the Shadow Codex should be able to do the same.

After all, there is no Grim Reaper in the Eternal Realm, so it is quite reasonable that the Shadow Codex, the ultimate authority in the Eternal Realm, could shield the Grim Reaper from his gaze.

Thinking of this, Kane immediately took action, hissing as he removed the Rebirth Amulet he always wore from his collar, then plucked a few cat hairs from it and placed them on the Shadow Codex like a walking stick.

As the Shadow Codex transformed into a slime and devoured the Rebirth Amulet, Kane confirmed that his guess was correct.

The sense of security that comes from having one's life protected and not being afraid of dying no matter how ruthless one does is still there in my heart, not weakened even a little bit. However, the unease and sense of loss brought about by the watchful eye of death have completely disappeared.

With a huge weight lifted from his heart, Kane waved his wand, repaired the shattered chandelier fragments with a spell, and sat back down in his chair.

I lay there completely relaxed, and my understanding of the world deepened.

Therefore, the Grim Reaper in this world is truly just a rule, unlike in the Eternal Realm where there is a god representing the moon, a god representing the shadow, or so-called false gods like myself, Maxwell, and Charlie who stole the power of the shadow. Without exception, they all have their own thoughts.

In the real world, the Grim Reaper seems to lack his own thoughts and is more like a set of rules.

After all, if Death had a mind, even if I hid the rebirth amulet, he would still know that I still had the ability to regenerate, and would continue to tirelessly create tricks for me until I died once.

So this Grim Reaper isn't very intelligent.

Kane pursed his lips and continued adding a main quest to his notebook, which was on vacation this semester.

For example, besides helping Lupin find a way to control the curse, he also needs to make a mind hat...

After all, no one can resist the swagger and agility during a battle; it looks incredibly cool.
