- Father, you said that I should be free to pursue happiness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
- But I don't understand...... What exactly do you mean by freedom and happiness?
"That's what it is...... The Book of Calamity?"
Because the damage on the ground had been repaired, Evan Ian finally walked into the study, which no one had dared to enter.
The original solid wood gilt desk had been smashed to pieces by Ferdinand's punch, and the wooden wreckage and broken paper were scattered everywhere.
And the Nanling paperwork that Evan Ian had originally placed on his desk and locked with a sealed silver chain was also smashed away by a punch during the battle, and the black and heavy scroll fell upside down and fell on the ground in the corner until he picked it up again.
And Pernard saw that the scroll, which could not be opened if it was not for Evangel, was now spread out for some reason. Evan Ian frowned, resisted the pain of the mana being extracted, took it in his hand, and looked through it. The old pages seem to have been damaged in battle, but they are quite damaged. And the unknown substance that originally sealed the pages of the book like asphalt and black mud has quietly disappeared at some point.
"Well, Yulantil......" Looking at the black-on-background silver-patterned book in his hand, Ewen Ian's eyes were a little complicated, the silver chain was broken, the seal was unsealed, and when the magic book was held in his hand, the magic power in his body and the physical strength began to be quickly withdrawn, and the huge magic power that usually feels like it can't be used up no matter how it is used normally, it has disappeared obviously after a while.
"It seems to be quite badly damaged, right?" Pernard saw that several pages had been torn in half, and the fragments were hanging on the book, crumbling, "Although it has been identified as a curse, no matter what, this is also a precious magic book handed down from ancient times......, right? But it's a pity. β
"Ah...... Well, it's okay with this. Evan Ian shook his head, tore off the fragments casually, closed the book, and stuffed it into Pernard's hand, "This thing will continue to absorb my physical strength and magic in my hand, so please ask the teacher to keep it for me first." β
"What?!" Pernard looked incredulous, "Enrico's gloomy fellow has been asking you for things to no avail, and you just threw them at me?!If I'm not mistaken, that old guy has opened up a sky-high price of 30,000 Imperial Gold Coins, Legendary Staffs, and the original manuscript of Malukov?!"
"You don't have a good relationship with Mr. Enrico, so what does it matter if you keep it. After throwing Yolantil to Pernard, Evanian walked to the corner of the wall, leaned down and operated a few times, only to hear a "click", but there was a hidden safety door opened.
"Cut...... If I don't give it to Enrico, I can't use it myself......" Pernard has always been a man who does whatever comes to mind, and as he spoke, he grabbed the cover with great interest and pulled hard.
The Demon Dao Book did not move.
And Evanian's words were a step too late, and only then did they reach Pernard's ears faintly: "If you can open it, teacher, you can try-"
"But in that case, I'll have to call you brother, not teacher......" Looking at Pernard's wooden expression, Evan Ian stood up with a thick stack of papers in his arms, and smiled at him, "I haven't seen anyone other than those who are related to me who can open Yulantil, let alone use it." β
"Well, I was defeated by you. Pernard shrugged nonchalantly, "What's that thing in your hand?"
"I'm old ...... A relic of my mentor. Evan Ian changed his words halfway through, "It's a whole collection of spell books on arcane construction. β
"Oh, that's pretty good. Pernard realized that since Evan, who had always been rigorous in academic matters, dared to call it a work of magic, then this set must be remarkable, "Since it is a relic of your mentor, and it is such a powerful thing, it has already been published on the market, right? What is the name? I have time to read it." β
In the Empire, there are two kinds of teacher-teacher relationships that are more common, the first is because the empire encourages academic openness, and the establishment of a large number of colleges throughout the empire, the relationship between teachers and students is relatively simple, although the empire requires that as a student, you need to respect teachers. However, compared to the mentor-apprentice relationship between another type of mentor and apprentice, the difference is similar to that between an outer disciple and a closed disciple.
As a mentor, you have the obligation to teach your apprentices, and as an apprentice, you also have the responsibility to inherit the research of your mentors and to pass on and carry forward your learning.
Unexpectedly, Evan Ian smiled bitterly: "Not many people can understand this book." β
Pernard was stunned: "What's going on?"
Evan Ian didn't want to explain, so he simply pulled a book from the stack of papers in his arms and handed it to Pernard.
Pernard was stunned: "What kind of rune is this?!Why don't I know a word?"
Evan Ian shook his head very neatly: "I don't know, all 31 volumes, except for the first 10 volumes written in ordinary Nanling language, the last 10 volumes are written in Nanling Secret Mantra Rune language, and the last 10 volumes are written in what script, but even the local mages of Nanling can't see it." β
"And another volume?" Pernard was a little curious.
"Written in imperial Chinese. Without hesitation, Evan Ian replied, "I was the initiation book for learning arcane spells. β
"Oh......" Pernard was speechless.
However, after being silent for a while, he was a little curious: "If you can't read 10 volumes, you can't read them, what are the first 20 volumes?"
Evan Ian didn't answer, he stared at the shattered dome for a momentβ
"Magic web. β
Finally, he replied.
The people of Southridge have not been studying the arcane for long.
The natural advantage of being an immortal made them more accustomed to using their natural abilities.
If the mage is the artist who manipulates the elements to draw scrolls and play the vastness, the arcane mage is the engineer who manipulates every element with great care.
The spells used by the warlocks of the Southridge people are more like demonic beasts to drive instinct.
Hypnotist, Dragon Mage, Phantom Beast, Stormbringer...... A well-known and legendary profession inflicted great losses on the expeditionary force in the twenty-one years of war with the Empire.
It can even be said that because of the advantages brought by the Immortal Seed's unparalleled bloodline ability, the Imperial Mage is completely unable to compete with the Immortal Warlock Legion in terms of individual soldier quality.
And in the end, it was a group of ordinary arcane mages who completely annihilated the royal warlock legion that the immortals were proud of.
The founders and inventors of the most important magic engines in all the parts of the airship - Orville Lane and Wilbur Lane.
Improved the classical magic cannon and used Bridge's elemental impulse law to create the modern magic cannon's mid-level arcane mage, Cross Smith Turner.
Compared to these memorable names, the completers of multi-mage synergistic spellcasting, modern war golems, and overclocking resonance technology are a large group of people, who may be separated, each of them is not famous, and the legendary Nanling Warlock is not comparable to the bright red Killing Moon, the Lord of Ice Wind and Blizzard, the Star Diamond Phantom Dragon Messenger, and so on.
But it was these unknown arcane mages who moved the balance of the war between the entire empire and the South Ridge.
A thousand years ago, the Southridges prided themselves on how easily their Immortal Warlock could turn the clouds upside down.
A thousand years later, the South Ridges are still proud that their Immortal Warlock can easily turn the clouds and turn the tide upside down.
The original arcane mages were just a group of incompetent people, because they did not have outstanding mage talents, but they were not willing to sink into the sentient beings, so they still resolutely embarked on this extremely bumpy long journey for them even though they knew that there was no hope.
If you can't do it yourself, use external objects.
So alchemists created all sorts of magical weapons.
If you can't do it yourself, use your wisdom.
So the magicians and illusionists began to write countless legends of the defeat of the weak over the strong on the earth.
If your own talent is not enough, use art.
So the bards sang songs and walked the earth, bringing joy, art, and the power of companionship into people's hearts.
ββIf you can't do it yourself, then you might as well use external objects, wisdom, and runes.
So the airship took off, the golem walked the land, and the fire of civilization burned to every corner of the empire with the iron hooves of the empire.
** Orcs with terrifying abilities, sea tribes who roam freely on the sea and land, and ice and snow city-states composed of giants, dwarves, and barbarians in the north, in the generation of arcane innovation, the former mortal enemies of these empires have been crushed step by step, and they have been driven to the wilderness where humans cannot survive.
In the end, even the Nanling Mountain Range, known as the Endless Mountain Range, was crossed by the legendary adventurer Christopher and conquered the immortal species of the entire Nanling Basin Plain, and the Nanling people, the alien race closest to the human race of the Empire, also officially entered the sight of the Empire.
Soon after, war broke out.
As the invaders, the royal family and nobles of Nanling led their people of Nanling to resist desperately.
But in the face of the fact that after removing the enemies of the three parties, with the development of martial arts and truth, whether it is a knight with the ability of qi, or an emperor ** mage with the weapon of truth and arcane law, they have become extremely powerful, and the people of Nanling were finally conquered by the iron hooves of the empire.
Evan Ian felt that his "teacher" probably became obsessed with arcane magic from that time.
Immortals...... It's a jealous creature.
Ordinary people, life is only 70 years, 8 years of mathematics, 9 years of physics, 3 years of programming, and it has already taken 20 years of Evanian's previous life, but for the immortal species, these 20 years are just a flick of the fingers, and they are not even enough to become a child.
Pushing open the bedroom door, Evan Ian looked at Eddie Hill, who had already sat up from the bed, and raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise: "You've actually woken up...... How does it feel?"
"You!" Seeing Evan Ian, Eddie Hill subconsciously pulled the quilt in her arms, "Why do you casually go into someone else's bedroom!"
"Someone else's bedroom?" Ivan Ian couldn't help but laugh a little when he walked into the room and heard Eddie's words, "This is my bedroom, okay?"
