Chapter 21: The Book of Spells: Gems (Part II)
[Second shift, brothers, it's up to you next week, there are two more shifts today]
What excites Saleen is the covers of these three books. One bronze, one silvery-white, and one golden-yellow.
Magic books, there are sets of goddess magic books here!
Magic books and magic books are only one word apart, but the meanings are very different. Magic books are ordinary items that pass on magical knowledge, and magic books are high-level magic items.
There are only three levels of magic books - bronze magic books for mages of levels 1 to 3, silver magic books for great mages of grades 4 to 6, and gold magic books for mages of level 7 and above.
The spellbook uses constant magic to describe the skills that are suitable for all levels of magicians, even if it is a magician with no inheritance. Spellbooks can also store mana, and unlike scrolls, spellbooks can store mana over and over again, not all at once. And that's not all, the most precious thing about the magic book is that at the end, there will be help about the mage's progression.
From the magician to the great magician, from the great magician to the magician, and then from the magician to the god, there are three huge levels. The three levels are at level 3, 6 and 9. No matter how hard a magician tries, he can't rely on diligence to break through these three levels, and he must understand the true meaning of magic in order to continue on the path of magic.
And the hints in the magic book are the key to the next level.
The preciousness of the magic book even exceeds that of the dragon's magic core, no matter how high the level of the magic core is, it is valuable, and the magic book is priceless. A magic book often brings together the efforts of several generations of magicians, with the strongest magic they left behind, as well as the experience of promotion.
Salin solemnly took down the bronze magic book from the shelf, stroked the bronze cover with his hand for a moment, calmed his mood, and then slowly opened the page.
The magic book was blank and there was nothing, and Saleen was so angry that he almost threw the book out the door. Is the goddess nature joking with herself? It's a blank spell book that hasn't passed through the hands of any magician, and its value lies entirely in the materials from which it was made.
There is no magic that can be directly learned, there is no advanced perception that can be passed on, this thing is just the equivalent of a blank scroll that can be used infinitely.
Saleen calmed down, and a strange feeling came to his mind again. The appearance of the magic book is about 20,000 years old, and the construction of this temple probably began more than 30,000 years ago. At that time, human beings didn't need such a thing as a magic book. Most people are born with terrifying powers, and magic is only one type of power, not the most important thing. In that case, why is there a blank magic book in the temple of the goddess of nature?
It's a pity that Neris is just a little devil and doesn't know the secrets. Salin put three blank magic books into the Gift Ring, this thing is still very precious, at least in terms of material, it is difficult for humans to make such a high-level magic book now.
Salin got the three blank spellbooks, and the expedition was a triumphant mission. Auction off any of these three books, which will allow Salin to concentrate on studying magic in the future. It's a pity that he didn't dare to sell it, he couldn't tell where this thing came from, and if he was remembered by someone with a heart, he was afraid that his life would be in danger.
What Salin desperately needed was something that could be exchanged for gold without causing trouble.
Wandering through the empty shelves, Saleen left the book room and made her way to the magic room. In the time of the goddess of nature, humans learned both magic and divine arts. There is no difference between a priest and a magician. The magic room was where the priest practiced magic, and the house was empty, and Saleen knew that there could be no one who had practiced in a temple that had not been activated, and there would be no items left behind by those who had gone before.
At the back of the magic room is the bedroom, which is equally spacious and has a bed in the middle. Nothing but the murals on the walls. Salin lifted the bed board unconvincedly, and sure enough, there was a secret compartment under the bed. It seems that no matter how long humans have evolved, some habits remain the same.
The compartment was filled with items, most of them clothing, which Salin checked with detection magic, and they were all ordinary clothes. None of the expected cores or hedrons appeared, and these daily necessities were brand new and unused, so they had no meaning to Salin.
Salin had no choice but to circle around the bed three times, leaving the bedroom and coming to the lower room.
The lower room is a place similar to a maid's room, but half of the lower room of the temple is inhabited by the Templars, who were called Temple Samurai in the time of the goddess of nature. These warriors are not under the papal authority and are only responsible for the safety of the priests of the temple.
To Saleen's surprise, the lower room was full of things.
Compared to the previous rooms, the lower room is a bit messy. A few beds, a few cupboards, and boxes along the walls. In addition to these, there was a desk with a map spread on it, and Saleen recognized it as a map of the temple at a glance. Salin knew a lot about the layout of the temple, but he picked up the map, and when he looked at it, there were 25 magic circles drawn on the back of the huge map.
With the altar as the center, these 25 magic arrays happen to have one in each hall.
Saleen carefully rolled up the map, which had been tanned in the skin of the Monster, and put it into the Ring of Gifts. The magic circle drawn on it is three-dimensional, like the legendary way of making magic books.
The incomparably precious 25 magic arrays, although Salin has not studied them systematically, he understands the significance of the magic array to the magician when building the magic tower.
With a high-level magic array, the magic tower will be safer, and these magic arrays are probably treasures that have long been lost. It's a little regrettable that this thing can't be sold, and if it does, it's tantamount to telling people that I've found a hidden temple.
The cabinets and chests on the walls became the focus of Salin's search, and the cabinets contained suits of armor. These armors are different from the style of any country on the continent today, only protecting the more important parts of the body, and there is no metal structure.
Saleen gave up on taking the armor with him, which simply couldn't fit into the Ring of Bounty. Let's look back and see if Sika and Pale Red can have the strength to carry away. If they don't find anything of value, this armor is also a piece of equipment that can be sold for a good price.
Salin felt a little better, he was still a teenager after all, and he had been afraid that this expedition would be fruitless since most of the Scarlet people had died. Or in the red eyes, Saleen was a little weak. But such kindness, who knows how long it will last in a teenager?
Salin smiled and opened the box. In an instant, Salin felt like his kindness was gone.
The box was filled with all kinds of gems, which shook people's eyes painfully.
Iceberg stone, chlorite, frozen stone, zoisite, sapphire, benitoite, iolite, kyanite, ruby, fluorite, rutile, hornblende, actinolite, nepheline, red stone grease, tremolite, diopside, all kinds of smoky quartz, pure crystal, tiger's eye, obsidian......
Almost all of the gems that Salin could make out were in these chests, and Salin sat directly on the ground, stunned by the sudden happiness.
Saleen grabbed an ice island stone and looked closely at it in the fluorescent light to make sure it wasn't a colorless crystal. The unique coolness of Bingzhou Stone penetrates directly into the bones, but it is not cold.
There are even tourmalines, rare white ghosts, and green-haired crystals!
Saleen was stunned for a moment, and began to desperately put the Ring of Blessing inside. The Ring of Gifts has a space of dozens of cubic feet, and in the end, Salin can only choose some relatively cheap gems to take out separately and prepare to be packed in the leather bag.
Is this going to be given to Crimson? Of course not! He's not a magician.
Salin felt a little ashamed, but it was normal, any magician would go crazy when he saw so many gems. There were also Adamantite Gold, Thirtium, Mithril, and Copper in the chest, but none of them mattered, and Salin's eyes shone brighter than precious stones, and he was busy with excitement.
After filling the Ring of Gifts with the most precious gem, Saleen emptied the skin behind his back and filled it all with gems. Even the sleeves and belts were filled with them. Looking at the remaining half of the box of gems, Salin shouted loudly.
"Shika!"
In less than thirty seconds, Sika came with a stick and shouted nervously: "Commander, is there a situation?"
"No, we're rich!" Salin laughed, pointing to the open box.
Sika pounced on the box, grabbed a fist-sized amount of adamantite, and stuffed it into his skin.
"Load the gems first, the pure gold is too heavy!"
"I can carry it!" Schika began to loot despite Salin's obstruction. Her main target was metal, and after choosing almost all the precious metals, Sika began to load the gems.
Crimson was also alarmed, and came with Sarah, and saw the precious stones and expensive metals all over the ground, Crimson glanced at Salin, who shouted at him, "Look at what, pretend!"
Crimson and Sarah immediately took action, took out the large leather bag they had prepared, and filled it in one go.
Salin also knew that he might not have the chance to come to this ruin next time. Maybe the Holy See's goal is here, and if you can't finish it yourself, you can't keep it for others, so it's better to be cheap and scarlet. Skocina, goodbye, I'm going to the Qin Yin Empire, I don't know when I'll be back.
In fact, these gems were not valuable before the Second Dynasty, and humans could cross the plane at will, and some planes were rich in gems, and there was no strong person who would collect these things at all. That's why these gems appear in the lower chambers.
The four men stuffed their bags and sat around on the ground. Shika suddenly asked, "Commander, how do we get out?"
One sentence stopped Salin, yes, how did he get out? This temple used to hold a large number of great demons, which means that this place is extremely strong. Those twenty-five magic arrays......
Seeing that Canghong also asked herself with her gaze, Salin said calmly: "Go and ask that demon, it must know the exit." ”
Salin wasn't sure in his heart that the magic array in the middle of the altar should be a teleportation array, but could he really leave from there? Even if he could activate the magic array, the mountain monster outside was still there?
