Great Harvest
"Midnight Masquerade? Is that the names of these Cursed Puppets?"
John then looked at the walls to see that there were murals about a puppeteer. The Murals started on the left but half of it was missing, The entire Right side.
The Murals depicted the story of a young boy living peacefully in a town when suddenly groups of people invaded the town killing all adults while kidnapping all young.
The young boy managed to escape by hiding in a barrel, but his friends were not so lucky, he watched with tears as all of them were taken away.
Then it showed how the boy worshipped a mysterious master that taught him puppet magic and how to arrange them in arrays.
After training for several years, the young boy grew into a tall and mature man, he was still searching for the people that invaded his home, searching for the friends that he have lost.
But the next mural suddenly changed to a scene of the man sacrificing a town full of people to refine a raven puppet.
As he grew stronger and stronger, the number of people he sacrificed became more and more, from small towns to small cities to finally big cities.
While sacrificing a big city an incident happened, a group of people wearing a cloak with a mask on their faces attacked him to prevent him from killing more people.
He was even matched with this group while using 199 cursed puppets, he used some core cursed puppets to form an Array that covered the whole city into Darkness.
He stalled them with enough time to successfully sacrificed all the people in the city to create one big cursed puppet.
This puppet is a big raven with a pitch-black body, golden claws and beaks, and blood-red eyes that seem to contain a red moon within.
Then with this Cursed puppet as the core of the Array, he summoned the night during the day, with a blood moon that shines down on the city.
Relying on this array, he defeated all those cloaked-masked people that fought with him.
But the next mural was even stranger, the man sat on the ground with tears in his eyes while holding one of the attackers with long hair, then.
There was no then, as that was the last mural, the other half is smooth without any traces of murals whatsoever.
" A Man blinded by revenge only to kill those who are dear to him." John said with a calm voice.
Sebastian on the other hand was still looking at the murals about the man sacrificing people to make cursed puppets.
"So cursed puppets are made this way?" He said with great interest.
A shout then drew his attention, he turned to see John waving at him with a book on a pedestal.
The book is red in color with a picture of a black raven spreading its wings on the cover.
Sebastian grabbed the book and read it, He read with great interest, even nodding from time to time.
After reading all the pages, he placed the book down and looked at John with a gaze one would look at a lottery winner.
"Boy, you have hit the jackpot with this one, this book contains the method to control the Cursed Puppets outside."
"How about you film me a movie about the murals, and I'll translate this book and refine this space into your mage's sanctuary."
"It's not a bad trade right? Its practically two for one, You film me a movie, and I'll help you do things."
After a long silence, John answered with a yes.
He has no choice but to sacrifice his dignity to get a way to be stronger, It's definitely not because he wants to film a badass movie.
Definitely not.
After that Sebastian took him out of the space and told him to guard this place as he need to be busy for a day before he could refine the space stably.
He guarded the library while listening to the sound of fighting from outside.
Because he is bored, he decided to make a blueprint for a metagross puppet right now as a mount.
It's only a low end version since materials are few and really weak, its not worthy of the metagross name.
And Just like that a day has passed since he started guarding the library. Footsteps rang out from the deep hole.
He stood up to welcome the person coming out of the hole.
"How did it go?"
