Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Puppet Messenger, the Secret in the Codex, Returned

During the time of the Old Elven Empire, magical professionals were revered as Arcanists.

Unlike the mages of this era, the Arcanists of the Elven Empire are not interested in the simple use of magical elements. Even powerful attack spells, such as fireballs, lightning, and even chain lightning, seem to the Arcanist to be crude and pointless child's play. Because in the Arcanist's mind, the magician is like an architect, and the four magical elements are just building materials such as sand, stone, and wood, which don't need much attention. And only the four legendary realms of time, space, energy, and rules, are truly worthy of the research and exploration of magic professionals. It is based on this concept that the Arcanists of the Elven Empire will create legendary spells such as "Time and Space Gate" and "Summoning Elemental Elves", which have been passed down to this day.

Therefore, in the eyes of Moriarty, the Arcanists of the Elven Empire are undoubtedly much more powerful than the current mages. This kind of strength is not only a simple combat power, but also an all-round leadership in ideology, knowledge reserves and professional concepts. And this is also the reason why when a mage professional surpasses the high level and advances to the thirteenth level, he is revered as a grand arcanist. Only these super mages who can embody the realm of specialized elements can truly step further into the four legendary realms of time, space, energy, and rules, and then discover the true mysteries of this world.

However, there is another thing that intrigues Moriarty about this book, and that is that the elven arcaneist Gilisanna Dolita is also a dual-class, and her other identity is "puppet messenger".

A puppet messenger is a professional who has the ability to control zuò and control zhì puppets.

In the era of Arcanists, golems did not only refer to alchemical objects such as bronze mechanical golems, but also included natural golems, biological golems, and even undead golems. And that Gilisana Dolita is a third-level "war puppet messenger", and also has a powerful war puppet: the Rock Shield Striker.

Unfortunately, the elves did not explicitly record any method or recipe for refining the golem in the Codex. As a result, later readers will not be able to simply copy the puppet skills of the Elven Empire. Interestingly, the codex transcriber included a number of alchemical recipes in his subsequent annotations. However, according to Haiyina, there have been experiments with these formulas, but the results have all failed, and there have been many losses. Since then, no one has believed the contents of the codex, and some even suspect that the autobiographies of the elves are fictional and deceitful.

"Liar? Hehe, what a simple idea. "Of course, Moriarty would not agree with such a statement, a master who can use the ancient elven language so skillfully, and know the history of ancient magic so well, would be bored to write a novel?

What really made Moriarty care so much about this codex was that it was actually a hidden magic item.

The book is a magic item? This is quite surprising indeed. Because generally speaking, a book that can be called a magic item needs to have a certain amount of magic fluctuations in the first place, otherwise it is not considered a magic item. However, the book has passed through the hands of many mages before, and it has never been considered a magical object. And the reason why Moriarty was able to detect it by chance was also because of the help of the magical crystal book. Just a few days ago, when Moriarty borrowed the book, he was surprised to find that it could trigger a reaction from the Crystal Book. And because Hayarna had always been by her side at that time, Moriarty didn't have a chance to take it directly into the crystal book. But now...

"Let me see you for what you really are." Moriarty held out his hand and placed it on the Codex. …,

An invisible light flashed, and the book disappeared from the table without a trace. But just a second later, the book reappeared. But at the same time, in the crystal book in Moriarty's soul, there were three more pieces of paper that shone with a faint magical glow.

Magic Items: Alchemy Potion Recipe - Phantom Cologne;

Maker: Delong. Bertelsmann;

Grade: Special;

Quality: Complete;

Content (function): This is a wonderful perfume, its mysterious fragrance can not only add extraordinary charm to the user, but also effectively shield from the prying eyes of the outside world, and even use illusions to hide the user's true appearance and actual level. Occlusion range: within plus or minus 3 of the user's true level.

Notes: Legend has it that the Phantom Cologne was first made from the beautiful and shy Flower Elve, and was usually used when they were out and about to avoid the greedy gaze of the world.

Magic Items: Alchemy Potion Recipe - Crystal Activator;

Maker: Delong. Bertelsmann;

Grade: Special;

Quality: Complete;

Contents (Function): Crystals are one of the best magical materials in the world, they are hard, magic-guided, sharp, and crystal clear, and they are almost the favorite of alchemists. But unfortunately, due to the nature of crystal, it is too strong, so it is inevitable to lose flexibility. Crystal Activators are an effective solution to this problem, and with just one drop, your crystals will instantly be imbued with valuable toughness, which is a wonderful thing for an alchemist.

Notes: According to records, the Elven Empire used tens of thousands of ounces of crystal activators to build their sacred temples just to dedicate a giant all-crystal temple to the moon god. I have to say, this is really a shameless waste.

Magic Item: Alchemy Equation - Bridge (1

Maker: Delong. Bertelsmann;

Grade: Special;

Quality: Complete;

Content (function): Alchemy equation, the foundation and core of alchemy. Anything you can see, hear, or touch is nothing more than a figurative example of a series of alchemical equations. Therefore, for alchemists, how to link one after another equations of different types, functions, and structures, and then unify them into a whole is the best touchstone to test their strength. Of course, with the help of the "bridge", such a test will be much easier for you. Although, all you get now is just the most basic "small bridge".

Notes: The Bridge (1) Equation, nicknamed "Little Bridge", used to be one of the elves' favorite alchemy techniques, but unfortunately not many people could master it perfectly. The highest number of other alchemical equations that have been linked by a single "bridge" on record is seven. The record holder is said to be a female elf with a class rank 2.

Hidden in the Arcanist's Codex turned out to be two alchemical potion recipes and a set of alchemy equations. Moriarty stared in shock at the three notes in the crystal book, speechless.

I have to say that today is destined to be a lucky day for Moriarty. It was just a fortuitous discovery and exploration, but it allowed him to obtain an alchemical treasure inherited from the ancient elven empire. Whether it's the illusion cologne, the crystal activator, and the "little bridge", all of them are the supreme treasures that alchemists dream of. Moriarty was certain that any of these three letters, if they were to circulate, would cause a great wave throughout Bracada. Alchemists will be like mad dogs, desperately chasing these long-lost magical alchemy, even if they are bankrupt, even if they kill people and goods.

"This Delon. Bertelsmann is supposed to be the transcriber of the Codex. What a great forerunner, he even unearthed the alchemy of the elven empire that had long since been annihilated. It's just that he kept this priceless knowledge in a codex like this, but he didn't leave many clues, but it was somewhat weird and interesting. Slowly calming down, Moriarty returned his gaze to the Codex and gently held it in his hand. …,

Because the hidden recipes and equation notes have been left in Moriarty's crystal book, the book has been restored to a normal book at the same time, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. Moriarty looked silently at the cover of the book, thinking about her next steps. Suddenly becoming rich is both a great fortune and a great disaster. Moriarty, who is a man of two lives, naturally understands the truth of his guilt, so how to deal with the two potion formulas and the "small bridge" equation is the key at the moment. However, the good thing is that the three notes can be stored directly in the crystal book, so as long as Moriarty doesn't reveal it himself, no one should find out.

After about half an hour, Moriarty finished his thoughts, got up from his chair, picked up the book and another borrowed magic book, and walked out of the reading room.

"Hello, Mr. Tiger, I would like to return these two books." Moriarty walked to the service desk of the library, where two low-level mages were in class, and he looked for one of them he knew well, and stepped forward.

"Okay, Moriarty Apprentice." Tiger glanced at Moriarty, took the Arcanist's Codex and the Points and Lines of the Alchemy Equation from him, checked it a little, and then took it back, saying, "Well, the books are in good condition." For the record, you've already paid for the rental. Well, now you can leave. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Tiger. Good bye. Moriarty smiled slightly, bowed lightly to the mage, and turned and walked out of the library.
