Chapter 116: The Nameless Book
Al walked alone on the spiral staircase, climbing up the sea of books, and the words of Master Potter still lingered in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"In the deepest part of this library, there are three red bookshelves at the top, and there are three books on the second floor, and you can take the middle one. ”
The library is really big, with dense shelves that fill the entire space without a little breathing room. Al searched for a long time, and finally found the three bookshelves.
From a distance, it is impossible to see because of the numerous bookshelves. When I walked in, in the solemn color of all pitch black, three traces of red pierced into people's eyes like sharp blades, and the blood-like bright red proudly showed its existence in a piece of black, as if it was turning the single black around it into its own foil.
Compared to the other bookshelves, these three bright red bookshelves are much smaller, just like the gnomes in the giant country, but these three "dwarfs" are in the top center of this library, as if they are guarded by countless books.
Al's breathing couldn't help but become heavy, now even a fool could see that the books stored on the three bookshelves must be extraordinary, and maybe even extremely dangerous, Al followed Master Potter's instructions, and took out the book, the black cover was made of unknown fur sheaths, the spine and corners of the book were fixed by ebony, the whole book looked pitch black, unified, and there was no name on the cover, making the book look even more weird, making people have a sense of foreboding.
Al took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to open the book, he looked around and walked out resolutely, not looking at the other books. He kept in mind Master Potter's solemn instructions, and kept admonishing himself: to restrain himself.
People's greed often stems from just taking one more look, but it is this glance that can never be turned back.
Al took the book back to Mage Potter and Sheldon, and handed it to the old mage.
The old mage seemed a little surprised that he was able to return so quickly, "You haven't read this book on the way?"
Al shook his head, "You just asked me to take it, but you didn't say you could read it privately. After saying that, he added: "I haven't looked at the books on the three shelves. ”
The old mage stroked the book cover sadly, and said with a little admiration: "You are the first mage to reach those three bookshelves without looking at them, you must know that any book on those shelves is incomparably attractive to a mage. ”
Al laughed at himself, "That's because I'm not a normal mage, I'm a nobleman, a merchant, even a warrior, and then a mage, and as a mage, I'm not pure, I'm not good, I don't have the consciousness to give everything for magic." ”
"Purity is not necessarily good, the purer you are, the more likely you are to fall into bigotry, and paranoia can lead to deep disasters, this is your wisdom, little Al. As he spoke, the old mage handed the nameless book to Al, "I said that this book belongs to yours and should be in your hands now." ”
Again, the path is chosen by oneself, and the consequences are borne by oneself. I hope that after you go back and read this book, you will be able to think twice and think everything through before making a decision. This was the old master's last advice.
Al took the nameless book, and there was an unusual heaviness in his hand. He saluted Master Potter and Sheldon and turned to leave.
Sheldon opened his mouth several times during this time, wanting to say something, but it was inconvenient to say it due to the presence of the teacher. Looking at Al's distant back, he still couldn't help but speak: "It's okay for him to look at the books on the three bookshelves, right? You must know that the books stored on the bookshelves are all forbidden magic, known as the existence of black magic, and there are many mages who are addicted to black magic and degenerate into human beings and ghosts, and there are even some mages whose temperament has changed greatly, becoming cruel and bloodthirsty, ruthless, and inhuman." ”
The old mage wondered, "Nicholas, it's the first time I've seen you pay so much attention to other people than magic. ”
Sheldon coughed lightly, "Well, because this kid is still a little clever, maybe he can be a good mage, just good, of course." ”
The old mage half-squinted his eyes and said leisurely, not knowing whether to say it to Sheldon or to himself, "Levi would rather be captured in the darkness of the Inquisition than hand over this book, and I have no right to withhold it in the face of his heirs." ”
"What's more, that day is likely to come, and it is good to gather more strength at this time. He said with a sigh.
......
Al finally returned home after many days, he hurried the time, arranged all the things that needed to be done, settled down, and opened the nameless book, due to the age, the paper had long been yellowed and brittle, Al even had to use tweezers to turn the page, and he didn't dare to use his hands at all. Surprisingly, despite all this time, the book is still in good condition, and it is really amazing, the font has become a little blurry, and Al has to guess before he can tell the approximate.
"Why can Warcraft use magic by instinct, and people must mobilize mental power to do so?", the beginning is such a thought-provoking question, which is also one of Al's many puzzles about this fantasy world, he once suspected that it is possible to be like the fantasy novels on Earth, Warcraft has a substance like a magic crystal in its body, and Warcraft can cast spells through magic crystals, but he dissected the body of Warcraft, and did not find a similar mysterious substance.
He even wondered if it was because of the special structure of the monster's brain, and he had dissected the monster's brain for this, but he didn't find anything different, some of the monster's brains that were known for their clumsiness were only the size of a fist, and there was nothing special about it.
Al continued to look down, "In order to study this secret, many mages have invested in it, if they can crack the mystery, maybe they can cast magic without relying on talent, that is to say, once they master this mystery, they can master the power that is comparable to, or even more than that of a country." ”
"But those mages are just ridiculous ghosts, fools, bound by ridiculous ethics and common sense. ”
"Eventually, I, Vladimir Conrad, cracked the secret. ”
"And I will be the king of this world!"
The first page of the opening is full of such ambitious, arrogant words, like a madman clamoring to conquer the whole world.
