Chapter 165: Summoning Ritual (3/3)

Listening to the old mage's words, Zhao Xu was a little incredulous, and glanced back at the thousands of bookshelves.

"That's a bit too much, isn't it?" Zhao Xu said.

Just walking over the bookshelves and looking at the titles of the books, he may not have finished it in an afternoon.

Not to mention finding the book that leads to the "Library of Legends".

It's a bit of a dream.

After hearing Zhao Xu's words, the mage, who was already too old to move, just lowered his head and recalled, "Every mage who arrives here for the first time has had this thought. ”

"It's just that if you can't prove your potential, why should the Guild give you access to the 'Library of Legends'?"

At this time, Zhao Xu was no longer tempting, he was engrossed in thinking about every word the old man said.

"Then I want to ask, what is that legendary library like?" Zhao Xu asked.

"It holds a lot of ancient knowledge and secrets in this world."

"Go straight to it, you can't find the word within three hours, it proves that you don't have this fate, just take the elevator back by yourself." Ahem. The old mage couldn't help but cough a few times.

Zhao Xu secretly thought, didn't he just reconfirm.

However, he still had to recite a few words silently in his heart: respecting the old and loving the young is everyone's good character.

Zhao Xu also began to take the bookshelves on this floor seriously at this time, he did not focus on every book on the shelves, but directly looked at the bookshelves one by one.

After arriving at the back few layers of bookshelves, Zhao Xu suddenly found that the themes of those books were no longer the original primitive and evil rituals, and many other themes began to appear, such as 、、、 and other classics of various themes began to appear.

At this time, Zhao Xu also understood that the books in this abandoned library were not taboo and evil elements, but diverse.

It's just that Zhao Xu looked at the titles of those books, and he was puzzled, and the titles of some of them didn't look outdated at all, how could the old man say that most of them were invalid. ”

Especially when Zhao Xu walked towards the deeper bookshelf, he found that in fact, the books on this floor also corresponded to those more than ten kinds of knowledge and skills.

And the books on this floor look more advanced.

Just as Zhao Xu continued to bow down step by step to explore the books on those shelves.

The old mage looked at Zhao Xu with a clear look in his eyes, as if he was looking at the other party.

It took Zhao Xu two hours to barely look at the nearly 1,000 bookshelves on this floor, and when he counted the classics stacked close to the ceiling on each shelf, it was even more difficult to count.

And in it, Zhao Xu also noticed that there was a doctrinal book of the goddess of magic here.

Although Zhao Xu is not a very competent level 1 priest, he still has at least some basic skills, and he has also read the teachings of the goddess.

The style of that book, Zhao Xu can be very sure, is not the current release of the church, or even any version that has been released.

But the style of the emblem on that book is indeed the most up-to-date, and it is the emblem that was reissued when the goddess of magic, Sislvina, received her new priesthood three years ago.

Therefore, according to that holy emblem, Zhao Xu was very sure that the history of that classic would definitely not exceed three years.

According to the Goddess of Magic's Church principles, no magic is cast, and the emblems on all the books are automatically changed, which in their eyes is only a betrayal of history.

So Zhao Xu is sure that the time for that book to be put in will definitely not exceed three years.

This is contrary to the thick layer of dust that is on all the texts here.

Zhao Xu stood on the wall, scanning the entire library with his hands in his hands, while the elderly mage stood on the other side of the end, wiping his lenses with his head down.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu had a stirring in his mind.

He understood, and the old man said that most of the classics here were invalid.

I'm afraid there is a verbal trap in this.

Although Zhao Xu didn't look carefully, he already knew that there were classics to introduce the ceremony.

Ritual, strictly speaking, is another, more primitive form of magic. They can also be cast by non-casters.

They also don't require any spell slots, they don't need to be prepared in advance, and there is no limit to the number of rituals they can perform per day.

The only trouble is that the rituals are performed for a long time, and they even have to be performed at a specific time to be useful.

For example, Antinoya once gave Zhao Xu the ability to awaken the expertise and even the "Wisdom Caster", which were all performed through rituals.

Even the necklace of "caster level +1" owned by Wang Ningwei was itself created with a ritual.

The old mage's words were untrue, which meant that the rituals here were useful.

"I want a copy of all the books." Zhao Xu shouted loudly at the old man at this time.

After hearing Zhao Xu's words, the old mage didn't say anything, but pointed behind Zhao Xu.

When Zhao Xu turned around, he had already found that the white-washed wall at the end of the abandoned library had begun to emerge one by one.

At the same time, the titles of the books are all in the line, pointing to a common shelf number.

"Entrance to the Library of Legends." Zhao Xu spoke first with a gambling mentality.

However, the titles were unmoved, and they just kept popping up new titles in a way that squeezed the entire wall a little overwhelmed.

He really thought too much.

"Summoning ritual," Zhao Xu continued to whisper.

Suddenly, the ink-like rune lines on the entire wall were suddenly shattered, and then reassembled one by one.

, this book suddenly came into Zhao Xu's eyes.

He wrote down the number, walked straight to the shelf, and picked out the book.

At the same time, Zhao Xu also pulled out the key, inserted it into the lock, and then unlocked it, and the whole process was smooth and there was no delay at all.

Without feeling any changes in the book, Zhao Xu began to read the book carefully.

It's just that this book is the kind of book that is open and open, like a picture album, and there are very few illustrations in it, and the text is densely piled up.

If Zhao Xu and the others wanted to perform the ritual, they wouldn't be able to spend much time reading this book at all.

And he had to retrieve the ritual he wanted from the uncatalogued book at once.

Zhao Xu thought calmly at this time, and then smiled on the spot, others may not be able to do anything, but he happens to master too many spells.

Level 1 Spell - Scholar's Touch.

This spell allows the caster to read a book roughly from beginning to end, but this level is not enough to read, and it cannot be used in some special magic books.

Therefore, this spell is not a very common spell for the caster.

But Zhao Xu only needed to know the ritual he was going to use now, where it was in the book, and this spell was enough.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu immediately took out the spell casting equipment "Thin Crystal Disc" and the spell materials "Parchment" and "Fire Velvet" in his backpack.

The equipment crystal disc and parchment Zhao Xu are all there, but the "velvet" Zhao Xu frowned.

When entering an academic library, everyone is still required to store flammable materials, even if there are various fire prevention measures here.

Zhao Xu stored his velvet and alcohol in the cabinet at that time.

Now if he went to the first floor to retrieve the spell materials, Zhao Xu didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to return to this floor, because the words on the parchment that Antinoya gave him had disappeared.

If Zhao Xu had mastered the "supernatural spell" ability of the Spell Guardian, he would have been able to cast a spell without materials.

Even if he has the specialty of "casting spells and free materials", he can do without these materials that are less than 1GP.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu looked at the potential point, he could use the potential point to simulate the specialty.

After being promoted to level 3, Zhao Xu has regained 5 potential points. In this way, he can spend 1 potential point to simulate this feat.

However, at this time, Zhao Xu had already remembered that he had more abundant means.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu waved his hand directly, only to see that between the lightning and flint, a piece of fire velvet appeared in the air, and at the same time fluttered lightly on his hand.

The first-level arcane "summoning spell material" can conjure inexpensive spell materials to avoid the dilemma of the caster not having spell materials.

Zhao Xu didn't expect that he, who had completed the spell material package, would be able to use this spell one day.

After completing this, Zhao Xu immediately used the summoned spell materials to cast the "Scholar's Touch" spell.

After he came into contact with that classic, the content of the book, like a movie, kept brushing through Zhao Xu's heart.

Zhao Xu hurriedly opened the thirty-hundred-twelfth page and read through the thirty-ninth spell on it.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu hurriedly found a vacant land, and then according to the content of the book, he began to carve mysterious symbols with the charcoal pen in his hand.

After a total of sixty-seven, Zhao Xu sketched a star map again, and began to chant the incantation.

This ritual takes up to 45 minutes to chant compared to a spell that only takes one minute.

Basically, Zhao Xu was already in a hurry for the last few minutes.

And after the old mage saw Zhao Xu's actions, he just nodded silently and didn't say anything.

At the last minute, Zhao Xu finished reciting the last incantation, and a powerful mysterious power poured into his body from the void.

Zhao Xu shouted on the spot: "Look for the books of the 'Legend Library'."

Suddenly, a white light came out from Zhao Xu's fingertips, and Zhao Xu understood that the place where the light was pointing was the location of the book.

He hurriedly followed the light, only to find that the light pointed directly at the elderly mage in front of him.

In other words, the embodiment of the legendary library is the old man in front of him.

At this time, the old mage had already turned around and slowly looked up at the layers of bookshelves, "The current legendary library is actually a piece of time. ”

"The Library of Legends was first built by the second generation of the Goddess of Magic, who sought to bring together all the world's mysteries of knowledge. Later, he was unfortunately destroyed in the war of the gods. ”

"After that, the third generation of the Goddess of Magic took pity on the 'Legendary Library', and she also gained a lot of knowledge in it, so she used her divine power to recover."

"I have now made a pact with you that you will be able to visit the Library of Legends once a week. But you must take an oath not to divulge your secrets. Would you like it, Mage Midsummer? ”

The old man, who was also the embodiment of the will of the "Legendary Library", looked at Zhao Xu at this moment and said.
