Raymond successfully devoured the first spirit monster with his Ghost Devouring skill, which gave him a lot of confidence.

Even if the Holy Light Transcendent wanted to deal with this kind of spirit monster, it was not as easy as he was just now.

And these "evil spirits" still take the initiative to attack monsters, they don't need to deliberately attract monsters at all, they will take the initiative to crash in all the way.

Ghost Swallowing is a range group attack, and it's not too comfortable to deal with this kind of monster.

Then Raymond tried to attract some seventh- and eighth-order ghost monsters, and they all successfully devoured them.

I tried again, and I attracted many monsters, two, five, ten, and a group of them to devour them smoothly.

In the end, he found that this skill was a "instant kill" for spirit monsters below the eighth order, no matter how many they were, once they got close to the "whale swallowing" aura formed by the soul spell, they would be shattered in a short time, turned into nutrients and absorbed. The only difference is that the higher the rank, the longer the monster will be devoured.

The level has a certain sense of crisis judgment, knowing that the enemy will take the initiative to flee, being pulled by the aura, and it is possible to escape.

And if Raymond remembers correctly, this "Central Library" map, the highest is a few eighth-order gold-level spirit monsters, and now his soul strength wants to devour these monsters, and it is still a little difficult. With a little care not to be besieged, the map is almost no threat to him.

The reason why Raymond said that this skill was a divine skill for him was because when the soul is strong, the spiritual power will definitely rise.

This also means that if his soul is strong, the power of spiritual spells and other things will also become stronger.

The strength of the soul can be increased by farming, but it is much faster than when he meditates

According to conservative estimates, there are hundreds of thousands of spirits in this library.

Just walk around, you can attract a lot of monsters,

As soon as the aura of the Ghost Devouring Skill opened, the system prompt sounded in pieces, and the strength of the soul skyrocketed

This is much easier than taking a knife and killing other monsters to accumulate soul points.

If all these ghosts were devoured, Raymond estimated that his mental power would increase by at least three or four percent, which was enough to cover his years of meditation.

Moreover, devouring spirits has a huge advantage over killing monsters, that is, there are no side effects at all!

Probably the only side effect is that there is a saturation period when the devouring spirit body is too much, and it takes time to digest.

I killed a lot of monsters before, and Raymond also found a big problem!

When there are more kills and monsters, the "will" and "sanity" attributes on the system panel will be reduced, and the negative states of "mania" and "enchantment" will be deepened unconsciously.

This is the clue that Raymond discovered when he was studying the magic sword before.

These two figures, although subtle, are accumulating over time.

It also means that Raymond really wants to do that kind of atrocity such as destroying the country to collect soul strength and potential points to become stronger, and sooner or later he will lose his mind and "fall into the devil".

Now that he doesn't lack "potential points", killing a lot of monsters is not necessary.

Therefore, increasing the strength of the soul by devouring evil spirits is the most reasonable shortcut to becoming stronger.

Now that these spirit monsters are no longer a threat to him, this library is not the slightest danger to the "ghost group".

Raymond turned back and went out of the library, finding the rest of the "Ghost Pack" where the cat was waiting for news in the mine, and happily led the crew to begin their treasure hunt.

Listening to their captain say "It's okay", everyone showed a happy smile.

Finally, they didn't have to give up the large treasure spot.

In the library, "evil spirits" roam around intensively. From time to time, a few float from the wall, and they can always be scary.

At the beginning of the period, Anna and the others were still a little apprehensive, walking among the monsters, always giving them the feeling that someone was blowing the wind on their backs.

But after walking for a while, they found that as long as they were within the coverage of Raymond's aura, those ghosts were really helpless!

No, one by one, they began to grow bolder.

Guys with big hearts like Fat Cat and Thor can also tease the ghost and help Raymond lure the monster

The entire underground library was in total darkness, with a vague outline visible.

The shelves on the walls are stacked on top of each other, and they look spectacular. Some players in the game have roughly estimated the number of books here, and it definitely exceeds 100 million volumes. However, these ordinary dwarven books have rotted and will turn to ashes at the touch of a button

Speaking of a library, this is actually more like a museum of the kingdom of the ancient dwarves.

In addition to books, there are some display cases in the library.

Most of the items in the display case have decayed into dust, but there are still some things such as ores, meteorites, nuts and gears that remain.

The things that can be treasured in the display case are naturally not simple.

In the game, when Raymond came, the contents of these display cases had already been scraped clean.

So, even he doesn't know what to expect here.

This is also one of the expectations of the treasure hunt.

"Wow, the hardness of this fast meteorite is higher than that of black titanium alloy, this is definitely the hardest substance I have ever seen!"

"Purple luster, is this the Dry Bar God Gold? Legend has it that it can absorb infinite energy, and it is a metal for forging artifacts."

"Captain, look at that glass of mercury-like thing, it seems to be the legendary liquid memory metal! It's a pity that if I can use more of this little bit on my alchemy body, I will be able to recover infinitely in the future."

"Oh, what do I see! This seems to be a conceptual model of the Stehl Eternal Power, and it turns out that the ancient dwarves have been studying this thing for a long time. I thought it was only discovered by modern science."

“”

And the two mechanics on the side, Colin and Nicole, obviously understand the value of the things in the display case better than the others. The origin of those ore samples, they almost all know the treasures.

Even those small alchemy objects, they can roughly deduce the effect.

Raymond and his entourage walked all the way, collecting the collections in those display cases.

Unfortunately, these things are very valuable, but they are all samples, and the number is very small.

As for the books on the shelves, they shatter at the touch of a game, and have no value at all.

However, this is also a windfall.

Raymond's original purpose was not to scrape any good things on these ordinary bookshelves.

The ultimate goal of his visit to the library is the "golden key".

Because he knew that the library also had a special secret room, which was the place where the most precious documents in the entire library were kept.

Of course, Raymond doesn't know what's in the secret room right now.

In the game, there are things that can't be moved except for reliefs, and by the time he comes into contact with the secret room, almost everything of value has been scraped away by the wasteland player.

As they got deeper, the "Ghost Pirates" soon discovered an "abnormal pattern" of ghost wandering.

"Captain, have you noticed that some ghost seems to be drifting in one direction unconsciously? What seems to attract them? ”

Miss Anna, who was obsessed with wealth, was the most experienced in treasure hunting, and she immediately realized that this sign was unusual, and speculated: "Could it be that there is some treasure hidden in the destination of those ghosts?" ”

"Hmm."

Raymond nodded and smiled slightly, "Let's go and see."

Of course he knew what the anomaly was all about.

This is a very wonderful phenomenon in the Dwarven Library, "The Resurgence of Evil Spirits".

In the game, players farm a lot of monsters, and they have already figured out this rule.

They found that after wandering outside for a while, the "evil spirits" would invariably float into the secret room where the "golden key" was kept, and then burrow into the "labyrinth" under the floor of the secret room, where they piled up into a sea.

It seems that the labyrinth is the most comfortable paradise for them.

Players have also speculated that the "labyrinth" under the chamber may harbor key clues to the formation of these ghosts.

Unfortunately, except for the wasteland development team, no one knew what treasures were in the labyrinth in the first place.

The group followed the ghost's trail and found that they had passed through a bookshelf and never came out.

After a little research, I found the secret room behind the bookshelf as a matter of course.

Then Colin and Nicole, two senior mechanics, began to analyze the mechanism to crack the secret room. Endless years have rendered all the magic bans in the Chamber of Secrets ineffective, and it is not difficult to solve some physical mechanisms.

Not long after, it was accompanied by a distant "click" sound.

The door to the secret room, which had been sealed for countless years, was slowly opened.

As soon as the door opened, Raymond was greeted by a torrent-like "evil spirit", like a soybean that had closed a room full of soybeans.

But although Raymond was also surprised by the number of monsters, his face did not fluctuate at all.

He has brushed this large copy many times in the game, and he doesn't know that this secret room door is a "sinkhole".

Such a number of "evil spirits" swooped down on the face, and anyone who came would almost die for a lifetime.

But now, the more the merrier.

The aura of the Ghost Devouring Skill was great, and a few minutes later, the ghost in the room was devoured by Raymond.

"I don't know what's in there."

Raymond walked in with a sense of surprise.

And then the harvest did not disappoint him, and even surprised everyone.

The whole secret room is very well preserved, and the shelves are full of golden metal books, there are thousands of them!

Colin casually took out a gold book weighing hundreds of catties from the shelf, flipped through a few pages casually, and immediately showed several excited expressions.

As if he had seen something incredible, he exclaimed, "This is the Dwarvens' Book of Gold!" ”

Seeing the room full of gold books, Nicole's beautiful eyes on the side were also bright, and she covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Legend has it that the dwarves will use gold to forge a golden book that will never be damaged to record important inheritance, it turns out that this legend is true!" ”

Only mechanics who are proficient in forging can appreciate how precious these dwarven forging treasures are.

Colin flipped through the pages of the book and saw the rune signs recorded, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

He immediately exclaimed, "Captain, we may be about to develop the knowledge of ancient runes that the dwarves have mastered in this golden book!" ”

Nicole also caught a glimpse of some rune symbols on the books, and was equally surprised: "Oh my God! The Four Levels of Divine Rank Law Runes, the Twelve Epic Astrological Rune Sequences, the Complete Seventy-two General Legendary Rune Sequences, Are These All True? ”

Colin said in a trembling voice: "I'm afraid so"

The fat cat on the side didn't quite understand why Colin, who was usually quiet and silent, was excited as if he was stunned at the moment.

He scratched his head and asked, "Are these runes valuable?" ”

"Worth the money? Simply priceless! ”

Colin is a mechanic who stands at the top of the world's technology, and he doesn't understand the value of these runes.

He swallowed his saliva and said, "Runes are one of the most valuable technologies in the scientific world at that time!" The runes that are surviving now, whether they are inherited classic runes or new runes that have been developed, can be called legendary-level, and there are no more than three hundred."

Hearing this, the fat cat touched his head and didn't quite understand: "Three hundred legendary runes? Didn't Nicole just say that there are only seventy-two legendary runes in these golden books? ”

Hearing this, Nicole explained: "The legendary runes of the Book of Gold are the most classic universal runes, which are the basis for all the runes summarized by the dwarven godsman. In other words, the more than 300 kinds of legendary runes that exist in the world are all derivatives of these seventy-two runes. With these seventy-two kinds, thousands of variations can be deduced! ”

Colin nodded and explained, "Not bad! There are more than three hundred recorded legendary runes in Hex City, which are actually deduced from a maximum of fifty general runes. There are more than twenty kinds that have long been lost, and there seems to be a part of this golden book! ”

After a pause, he continued: "What's more, there are also twelve epic astrological rune sequences and four fourth-level god rank law runes here!" That's a legend, created by gods, and it's not a super rune that humans can understand at all! ”

The period of ancient dwarf civilization is the era of true coexistence with the gods.

At that time, the gods would often send oracles to their devout followers, and this was the source of the runes of those above the ranks.

This kind of rune is the realm of laws that the gods understand, far beyond what humans can understand. Each of them has the power to destroy the world.

"Huh?"

The fat cat listened to it for a long time, but still didn't understand what these runes did.

"To take the simplest example, it's the magic cannon!"

At this moment, Colin was already excited, his voice trembled slightly, and he explained: "The magic energy cannon on our ship is a fifteen-meter ballistic, thirty-centimeter alloy cannon with a wall tube thickness, and the use of grade solid runes can withstand ten times the pressure of grade runes, but with grade runes, it is dozens of times that of grades!" This means that we don't need to build a super-large gun with a barrel of hundreds of meters on the island to have the same power! ”

"The displacement of our Golden Ghost is equipped with Neptune-level artillery at most, but if we have these runes, we can use the space to carry Neptune-level artillery to load Neptune-level or even Poseidon-level super artillery!"

"With these high-level runes, we will have more firepower and a stronger hull than others! That's the greatest value of these golden books! ”

"And the runes can also be used on equipment"

Colin's popular science, everyone in the Ghost Regiment finally understood.

Everyone looked at the room full of golden books, and their eyes were green.

If these runes were to be used, wouldn't the Golden Ghost become the strongest and most powerful warship in the world?

This is called technological suppression!

"Is this so powerful?"

Even Raymond didn't expect that these dwarves' golden tomes would be so good.

It's not that he doesn't know the role of runes, but runes above this level are all legendary things, and this is the first time he has heard of them.

These golden books are "quest items" in the game, and players are not very interested in delving into them. Now, he realized that the value of these dwarven gold books seemed to be far beyond his imagination.

"But Captain, there's bad news."

After the excitement, Colin thought of something and showed some embarrassment.

“？？？”

Raymond was stunned.

Isn't that a big gain, and what bad news can there be?

Colin said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "This golden book is written in the ancient dwarven language, I can read some of the rune patterns but I can't read the words. Therefore, even with these runes, it is difficult to decipher them. Perhaps, it will not be deciphered in a lifetime"

"Huh?"

This statement was like being poured a basin of cold water, and everyone in the "Ghost Group" calmed down in the excitement just now.

They also thought that with these "Dwarven Golden Books", the "Golden Ghost" would be able to destroy the world in the future.

It turns out that this is a bunch of golden bumps that can only be seen, but not understood?

"Ancient dwarven language?"

Raymond glanced at the strange symbols a few times and frowned.

"Put it away first, and we'll look for clues about the dwarven language later."

During the period of ancient mythology, there were many races, and the civilized writing was also strange. After being extinct for so long, the dwarven writing inheritance has long been broken.

He thought, after going out, ask Elija that her high priest of Nyx might have some clues.

However, it is unlikely.

Can be sudden

A thought flashed through Raymond's mind: "Hey, the High Elves are a civilization that existed at the same time as the Dwarves, will they know some clues about the Dwarven language?" ”

Reflexively, he touched the "lucky pendant" hanging from his neck, and thought of the two High Elves he had met in the "City of Eternal Night" Eludnes.

"I don't know where the elven secret realm is, otherwise I can ask them"

Thinking of this, Raymond pursed his mouth slightly.

He didn't continue to worry about the "dwarven writing", and beckoned everyone to put all the gold books of a few hundred catties into the package.

Anna and the others moved the "Book of Gold" downstairs, and at this time, Raymond looked up at the small attic on the upper floor of the secret room.

According to the game forums, the "golden key" is above the attic.

After thinking about it, he went upstairs alone.

"This is"

This time, Raymond was stunned on the stairs.

Before he could find the golden key, he was immediately attracted by the huge drawing on the wall.

He didn't expect that the originally empty wall in the game was actually pasted with a huge shipbuilding drawing.

And on the drawings, there are clearly written several Runas words "Ship of Theseus"!

The first is the latest.
