Chapter 16: The Secret Scroll

Botanical garden.

This area is shrouded in a rich breath of life and natural energy, but because Stephen sealed it with a mystery, the outside world does not feel a trace of life energy leakage.

This is the off-limits area of the Wizard's Tower.

Even Stephen's maids were not allowed to enter casually, and Erhuyan secretly tried to sneak in several times to play, but was caught by Aishara and told Stephen, and as a result, Erhuyan was pressed on the sofa by Stephen and jerked hard.

"Huh?" Stephen's eyes widened in surprise as he walked in.

For in his sight there were some lovely figures fluttering, and the little fairies were flying among the flowers, and they were all together to play and play, and occasionally there was a cheerful laugh. After seeing Stephen's figure, these timid and shy little fairies hid smoothly, their own talents contained stealth abilities, and in the blink of an eye, they had all hidden in the flowers and disappeared.

"Are these newborn fairies? Are they already born?" Stephen watched from afar, afraid to get too close and scare them.

The last time he came, Stephen sensed that a new fairy was pregnant, but he didn't expect them to be born by this time.

The little fairy is a spirit of nature.

Their conception is not well known to Stephen, but it is certain that they are a very rare creature, and they are very rare goblins in nature.

"Is it because of the Tree of Life?" muttered Stephen.

The entire botanical garden is shrouded in rich life energy, and the source of all life energy comes from the tall oak tree in the center, which is now almost fifty meters tall, and the growth rate can be said to be quite fast. Behind the ancient tree is a special spring that comes from the ground but gushes from the roots.

"Isn't Betty awake yet?" Stephen looked at his expression and was a little disappointed.

Her Royal Highness Betty is still asleep.

Her second slumber seemed to be longer than the last, as Stephen didn't perceive her conscious connection, which meant that Queen Betty was still in a deep dormant state.

There was a slight noise.

Stephen turned his head and immediately saw more than a dozen little fairies poking their little heads out from behind the blooming flowers and looking at him, and when they noticed his gaze, they burrowed back again.

They are very timid and afraid of life.

Queen Betty's personality is unusual among all the little fairies, probably because she is more cheerful under the influence of Pipily.

Stephen sealed the place with the Mystery Lock again.

The power of the Tree of Life cannot be leaked until the Floating Tower is truly constructed, because if it is accidentally sensed by the Death Omen, it is very likely to attract the attack of the Ancient Evil Creatures. It can be said that the value of the Tree of Life is incalculable, and if the Death Omen Star is allowed to perceive it, I am afraid that the entire Motella monster will pour out of the nest!

In the afternoon.

Catwoman-Brigitte returns to the Wizard's Tower, bringing the good news that Miss Pasha's caravan has opened a market in the south, some of the loot has been sold, and the supplies he needs are being shipped back.

At present, the strength of the entire caravan can be said to have skyrocketed.

With Stephen's support, Miss Pasha's caravan was incorporated into the Countess Elia's escort knights, not to mention ordinary robbers, even the armies of local nobles may not be able to defeat them. Now the caravan has taken over some of the trade in the Mine Town, and many of the goods are shipped directly to the South by Miss Pasha for sale.

"Where's the Lunatic Cult?" asked Stephen, sitting at his desk.

Brigitte sat on the sofa next to her, munching on snacks, and after getting along with Stephen for a long time, she found that her master was actually quite good at talking, as long as she didn't offend him, his taboos could basically be said to be an informal person.

Catwoman swallowed the snack in her mouth and whispered, "Their activities have become much more hidden. ”

"But the South still has their eyeliner. ”

Stephen nodded and said, "Hmm." Secretly send people to keep an eye on them. Countess Elijah will help you. ”

At present, the secular power of the entire wizard tower is in charge of Countess Illya, in addition to the highland knights from the south, Countess Illya has also gathered a group of adventurers at the signal of Stephen.

Although these people are not strong enough, they can be used in many places.

In the blink of an eye, it's two days.

Stephen has been in command of the Wizard's Tower for the past few days, and has fully operated the underground mine in one go, and Arantir's restoration work is also continuing, and at the same time, he has also sent someone to solve the trouble in Windy City, winning the gratitude of Miss Tinax and the old Earl Sutton. According to the original plan, Stephen was going to leave until the day after Countess Elijah returned, but a magical message from the Tower of the Five Rings forced him to leave immediately.

This magical message is important.

It was sent by Witch Liana herself, and the news was sent by the Void Master.

The content is simple.

The Void Master found a workable way to deal with the 'Death Omen Star' in one of the secret scrolls of the Crow's Nest.

After learning the news, Stephen immediately gave up the idea of waiting for Countess Elijah to return, and directly teleported back to the Five Rings Tower.

Less than half an hour.

Stephen teleported all the way to the academy one after another, and even the wizard who greeted him on the way ignored it and hurriedly entered the botanical garden.

"You're finally back. ”

When the Witch Liana saw him from afar, she flew over, pulled him directly, and said, "Master Void has been waiting for you for a long time. Others are also waiting for you at the horoscope. I knew you were going to the Botanical Gardens when you came back. ”

The two of them quickly flew towards the astrological platform.

In the hall of the astrological platform, basically the high-ranking personnel of the Five Rings Tower are there, and the current chief wizard of the academy is Eve Witch, and standing next to her is Winter Witch, and then Liana Witch. Because of the heavy losses of the Five Ring Towers during this time, the number of female wizards in the upper echelons has increased significantly, and there are also Insight - Akasha and Prophet - Ankara in the foreign aid.

The entire hall looked a little yin and yang, and the total number of male wizards, including Stephen, was less than ten.

"What did you find?" Stephen looked at the Void Master in front of him as he entered.

I don't know if it's Stephen's delusion, he felt a little older than before when he came back to see Master Void this time, and his appearance was already twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but it didn't look obvious, and the scan of Taling 1 was normal.

The Void Master's expression was a little tired, but his face was quite excited, and his eyes were full of hope.

He very cherished a secret scroll in front of Stephen's eyes, and said slowly, "I stumbled upon it in the secret chamber of the Crow's Nest. I'm not sure if I can deal with the Omen Star!"

"Let's see if it works!"

Stephen has the aura of a god-level scholar on his body, and the eyes of others are almost on him at this moment.

Because these people were not sure whether the contents of the secret scroll were true or false, Stephen was the only one in the entire Fifth Ring Tower who had read the books of the Academy, the collection of ancient ruins, and the collection of books in Silverdome City.

"I'll see. Stephen took the scroll and opened it carefully.

He glanced at it and said with a surprised expression, "This is the script used in the Thorium era!

"Wait!"

He looked at it and suddenly looked shocked, and then said in disbelief: "This is the whereabouts of the Death Scroll?"

This secret scroll records the whereabouts of an ancient scroll.

It goes by many names - the Dead Sea Papers, the Scroll of Death, the Mysteries of Death, the General Compendium of the Necromancy, and more!

In simple terms.

It's a legendary 'artifact'!

However, it is not complete, but is part of an ancient scroll, the complete scroll is called the 'Nether Scroll', it is the symbol of the rise of the Thor Silver Age, the source of the birth of the Grand Arcanist! Almost all spellcasters in the Thor Silver Age have benefited greatly from this ancient scroll, and basically all ancient magic has developed from this scroll.

This influence continued until the birth of the Arcane Empire, and it was not until the advent of rune technology that some of this knowledge was replaced.

But!

Most of the spells that Stephen currently uses are still of Ether Scrolls.

The Nether Scroll is divided into two parts, a total of 100 gold scrolls, but during the Thorsilver Age, the upper half was destroyed and the lower half was stolen. All the scrolls are mutilated at the moment. This artifact contains the knowledge to craft the Mither Core, and the original Floating City relied on its knowledge.

At the same time, the Grand Arcanists of the Thirin Age believe that the knowledge on the Nether Scroll can help them become gods!

It can be said that it is this scroll that has created the glory of the entire Thursilver Age.

Not only does it contain mysterious magical knowledge, but it is also a powerful artifact in its own right, with the help of which many powerful supermagic abilities can be obtained, and it directly affects the strength of a person's spell casting.

"It records the whereabouts of the three Death Scrolls. ”

Stephen put down the scroll in his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "The ancient wizard once used its power to seal the ancient evils!

The ancient wizards were indeed exiles from the Thorium Age.

If they weren't related to the Thorsilver Age, Stephen wouldn't have heard anything about the Nether Scrolls here.

It's no wonder that the Arcane Empire has searched for thousands of years without finding the Death Scrolls, it turns out that they have been brought to this world by ancient wizards. When the Arcane Empire was at war with the gods, the Grand Arcanists wanted to use the power of the Nether Scrolls to turn the tables, but at that time, the preserved scrolls were extremely rare, and many of them were not very important knowledge.

"How's it going, can you deal with the Death Omen?" the Void Master looked at Stephen with rare nervousness.

This secret scroll is really an accidental discovery.

When he rummaged through the information in the Crow's Nest, he undoubtedly found a secret room that had been sealed in the dust for hundreds of years, and this hidden secret room was sealed with magic, and even the people of the Crow's Nest did not know about it.

Everything seems to him to be the arrangement of fate!

If it wasn't for fate, why did you suddenly discover this scroll when you felt more and more desperate?

Master Void was very uneasy in his heart at the moment.

"If what this scroll says is true, then it is indeed possible to use the power of the Death Scroll against the Death Omen. Stephen pondered for a moment and said slowly, "The Death Scroll itself is part of a top-level artifact. Legend has it that it records the general outline of the Necromancy's spells!"

"As soon as you successfully read the contents of the Death Scroll, then a master of the Necromantic School is born. ”

"But. ”

"This isn't a complete artifact after all. Moreover, the "Death Scroll" seems to be five or six in total, and the whereabouts of only three of the scrolls are recorded on it. ”

"It's hard to deal with the Death Omen Star with its power alone. ”

Although Stephen's words were a bit demoralizing, the Void Master's expression was quite excited at the moment: "As long as there is hope, it is worth a try!"

"Let's go and find these scrolls at once. ”

Stephen looked at the fighting spirit of the Void Master, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The Nether scrolls are awesome!

Arguably one of the most powerful artifacts in the multiverse!

But it has been ruined.

The complete ones are a hundred gold scrolls, and now all that has been preserved are fragments, and it's hard to say how much effect just three "Death Scrolls" can have. Moreover, the Nether Scroll is not the whole of sorcery, although it is the origin of the Thur Silver Age, it does not contain knowledge of the gods, and the knowledge of divinity is the result of countless mistakes made by the Grand Arcanists.

The Death Omen Star has a strong divine power.

Dealing with Him is no less than challenging a powerful god! Three Death Scrolls alone are never enough!

But these three scrolls must not be given up, although Stephen was very powerful at his peak, he really hasn't seen the legendary Nether scroll. It is said that as long as the above knowledge is successfully read, each scroll will bring a certain ability improvement to the reader, ordinary spellcasters can read up to three, genius level can read five to ten, the number of mortals can read is limited, beyond the number of the brain will crash, the whole person directly into a state of madness. Because mortal brains are no longer able to hold this knowledge, only god-level beings can read a large number of Nether scrolls.

According to Stephen's estimates, this ancient scroll is most likely related to the special form of the gods.

The gods need to receive the prayers of hundreds of thousands of believers every day, and at the same time need to respond to the divine magic of a large number of priests, and it can be said that the ability of a god to function is not comparable to that of mortals.

But there were once patrons of the gods who read many scrolls without any side effects.

Stephen's own existence is also very special, he stripped off a part of his soul to make Taling No. 1, and the carrier core of Taling No. 1 is a demigod djinn, which means that the powerful operation ability of Taling No. 1 is actually very close to the gods. If Stephen fully activates Tarling 1's abilities, he shouldn't have any problems reading the Nether scrolls.
