Chapter 53: Notes (2nd Monthly Pass)
“...... The path to 'immortality' is unfolding in front of us, and if the 'experiment' goes well, we will break through the limits of human life......"
“...... During my experiments, I stumbled upon a strange and interesting world, full of undead creatures, chaotically reflecting everything in the main material world, except for life...... After a few explorations, I discovered that there was a majestic palace complex in the depths of the Necronomicon Realm, which was guarded by more than the legendary number of the three major magical empires, but fortunately, most of them were not sapient, so I was able to sneak in and see the 'Veil' that revealed the most essential mysteries of the soul, or 'fireplace'......"
“...... When I was studying the Soul Veil, an ancient mummy wearing a golden crown found me, its defense was really extremely perverted, I couldn't break out of the curtain for a while, I could only hide in the gray corridor behind the soul curtain, and I didn't dare to approach the entrance on the other side, because it gave me a premonition of extreme danger, and I believed that my premonition was the fundamental ...... for a prophet to survive."
“...... This is simply a 'Gate World', the gray hall and the black gate seem to be endless, but fortunately, behind some of the gates are all kinds of strange worlds, with strange monsters and precious materials......"
“...... I found some familiar and unfamiliar magical patterns, and a world realm that I couldn't believe, how could it exist here, I couldn't even dream of it...... I've made breakthroughs in my research and experiments, but I'm getting a sense of danger here, maybe I should find some old friends to explore together, and the ancient mummies outside should be a little more relaxed......"
“...... After a long exchange. Eight old friends, including Viken, MacLeod, Sollins, Albert, Eloise, and Eugenia, understood the preciousness of the necromantic world and joined the adventure team I organized......
“...... The nine of us come from different empires, and the strength gathered together is equivalent to one-third of the entire magical society, but before I set out, I felt a strong sense of anxiety, so I used the mirror of fate to divination, and saw my possible fate and the 'unbeliever who walks between light and darkness'......"
The previous content is similar to the note Lucien saw in the Grand Cross Frame Lock, but in greater detail. Makes up for a lot of these details. It also made Lucien understand that there were nine legendary mages exploring the necromantic realm at that time, five of whom were Legendary Third Order and four were Legendary Second Order. The number may not be more than one-third of the total number of legendary mages at the time. It is more than enough to use strength to count. It's no wonder that their disappearance has thrown the three major magical empires into disintegration.
"Nine legendary magicians have disappeared here, and the 'Gate World Realm' is truly a terrifying place. Rhein and Lucien were close together, guarding the door. While looking at the notes, "However, the overall strength is still not as good as your team on this adventure, and the existence of the peak of the legend, even if calculated in the entire history of magic, does not exceed ten." ”
Lucien nodded slightly, did not speak, and continued to look through the magic notes while seizing the time to crack the crown of the ancient mummy.
"On the third day of the Door World, we found some strange ghost creatures, very similar to the results of our experiments, otherwise it would be almost impossible for us to find them, and I believe that the study of them will help us to further break through the experiment......
"On the fifth day of the Door World, Viken found some remnants, and someone had come in!"
“...... The 'Immortal Chamber' mentioned in the remnants must be at the entrance of the illusory ripple wrap, because only there are the characteristics described, the secret of immortality, I didn't expect that we would come into contact with the secret of immortality! Before, I just wanted to break through the limits of life, immortality in a sense! Viken, MacLeod, and Eugenia, the three guys with rare smiles, were also incoherent with excitement, not to mention the others! And the owner of the remnant had already gone to the Immortal Chamber, and truly achieved immortality?"
"This discovery made us excited, and it was difficult to calm down and experiment, so we decided to try to explore the Immortal Chamber first......"
"On the ninth day of the Door World, the passage leading to the Immortal Chamber was beyond our imagination, and we watched as Solins and Eugenia disintegrated and disappeared there, and they had gone through many dangers and died so dazed...... No, we are not reconciled! They must have died with a sense of chagrin and unwillingness, and perhaps a special way was needed to get through the way!"
Lucien exhaled softly, and it seemed that two legendary magicians had died in the passage on the other side.
"On the tenth day of the Gate World, we calmed down to study the leftover items, and after consuming the 'Mirror of Destiny' again, we finally discovered the huge hidden laboratory......"
"It turned out to be Lord Tanos who came before us, studied the strange ghost creatures first, and first looked for a way to enter the 'Immortal Secret Room'!"
Lucian's fingers couldn't help but jump, the "Sun King" Tanos was really the most prominent figure in the late period of the Ancient Magic Empire, and even the 'Necronomicon Realm' and the 'Immortal Secret Room' were the first to be discovered by him!
He has the title of the most powerful magician in the history of the astral system, and has the reputation of being closest to a god, but he fell at the peak of his life, which makes the reader of history sigh every time.
In the history books, the fall of the "Sun King" is described as a symbol of the decline of a magical society.
"It turns out that the Sun King did not fall, but also disappeared here, and the ancient Hilvanus Magic Empire should have been announced to have fallen during the experiment in order to stabilize people's hearts. Lucien had a strange sense of satisfaction in solving the mystery of history.
The Sun King Thanos is missing here...... Suddenly, the words crossed Lucian's mind like lightning, and all the familiarities that had been before suddenly merged into a crazy tide that washed open the floodgates of memory.
"Yes, the 'devil' experiment of the Sun King Tanos! Those who are projected by the devil in their hearts will gain strength higher than themselves! For those at the middle and low levels, the improvement brought by this projection may pass several levels, but at the high level. There are often only two, one, or even half-level improvements, and the legendary realm should be similar! No wonder I feel so familiar with the situation of 'monsters' that happen to be one order higher than the target person!"
"It's just that the 'devil' projection is in my own heart, and what grows is my own strength, but there is an external real monster in the 'Gate World', so I didn't think about it for a while!"
Rhine noticed Lucian's shaking and asked, "What's wrong?"
Through a psychic connection, Lucien recounted his speculation in its entirety.
Rhine retracted his smiling and leisurely expression, and pondered, "The Seven Ancient Devils. I've explored the ancient ruins of the deepest parts of hell. In retrospect, it was quite similar to this monster, it also did not reach the level of a god, and it was also difficult to be destroyed. He is also good at snooping into the mind and memory. But. This monster does not affect our hearts and personalities, nor does it 'elevate' our strength, but strangely separates the two. There is a fundamental difference. ”
"Maybe it's because it can't be projected into the hearts of the legendary level powerhouses, and can only be deceived and fought in an explicit way, from this point of view, I can understand that the shredded paper left by the legendary magicians can be so desperate, so crazy, so hysterical, because they are gradually affected by monsters when their strength is not strong, invade their hearts, and their personalities are distorted. Lucien continued to speculate.
Rhine nodded slightly: "It makes sense, but why doesn't it destroy this note and fragments, why do we find the leftover items so easily?"
He asked Lucien about his previous question.
"Cause a sense of panic?" Lucien frowned, "or continue to read the notes, and maybe solve the mystery once and for all." ”
"On the eleventh day of the world of the door, according to Viken's proposal, everyone deleted all the records about this laboratory in their magic notebooks, leaving no possibility of negligent leakage, and only when they arrived in the laboratory could they access the information, I agreed, and deleted some of the things recorded before, and only some things could be skipped in the future records...... Finally, allow me to pay tribute to Lord Tanos, who, despite his failures, has illuminated our way forward, who is worthy of the title of the greatest magician, whose fall is the greatest loss in the history of magic......"
"On the fifteenth day of the Door World, we collected strange ghosts and began to follow the methods of Lord Tanos, creating a medium, and exploring ways to act on ourselves, so as to transform the 'state' into the 'Immortal Secret Room'......"
"On the twenty-sixth day of the Door World, it seems that something went wrong in the experiment, and the 'medium' created has become a terrifying devil......!
"On the twenty-ninth day of the Door World, Viken was frightened and wanted to leave, and he said like crazy that the devil was more terrible than we imagined......"
"On the thirtieth day of the Gate World, Viken disappeared, what a coward......"
"On the thirty-first day of the Door World, Albert disappeared, and he also fled?"
"On the thirty-second day of the Door World, Eloise has also disappeared, and things may be more troublesome than we thought, so I suggest leaving the Gate World Realm first......"
"On the afternoon of the thirty-second day of the world of the door, I was deceived by that monster, its strength is so strong, it can still be disguised authentically, and McLeod is also missing......"
"On the thirty-fourth day of the Door World, we were blocked here by monsters, and we found the puppet component left behind by MacLeod, what might he want to say...... I guess I can use the 'Mirror of Destiny' to predict the weakness of monsters, right?"
“...... The two of them are also missing, and the 'Mirror of Destiny' has given me vague hints, combined with some of the circumstances of my knowledge, I think I understand something, it's not a monster, it's not a ghost, it's not the ancient devil we fear, it's ......"
At this end in Maskelin's diary, a long trail of ink dragged out of the most crucial place, as if something had happened that made him leave the chamber in a hurry, never to return.
Lucien almost threw the magic notebook to the ground, Mr. Maskelin, you will die if you write a few more words......!
