Chapter 208: The Mystery of the Netherel Scroll (10,000 Words Chapter)

"This beautiful view, which cannot be described in words, can never be seen on the ground. Isn't it? Zuo Si asked without looking back.

At this moment, he was sitting on the three plank paths that extended from the inside of the asteroid at the dock, his legs completely suspended in the air, and he would immediately fall down if he moved a little forward.

Due to some powerful magic, the little star is surrounded by a layer of breathable air within thirty meters, while maintaining a constant temperature of about twenty degrees Celsius.

So there is no need to worry about suffocation, as well as the terrifying ultra-low temperature of minus 270 degrees in outer space.

"Yes! I can't believe that the Gisyankees were able to hollow out the interior of an asteroid and transform it into a habitable place.

However, according to Elon's guess, it is very likely that Achaya had sent a signal for help to the magic ship located in the astral plane before she died.

Maybe within a few hours to a day or two, at least one Astral Demon Ship will come over to check on the situation. ”

Davidian reminded with some concern.

"Relax, I have no intention of taking this place in the open.

On the contrary, I'm going to leave it to Elon to deal with the aftermath.

If the Gisyankees were going to rebuild the place, we would use Elrond as an internal response and make those knights and instructors into cards, little by little.

Once the upper echelons are completely controlled, it will be possible to educate those newborn children.

Turn them into the spark that overthrows and destroys the militarized empire of the Gisyankees.

And not a servant who obeys the Lich Queen. ”

Zuo Si said his plan meaningfully.

Using the Giss Yankees against the Giss Yankees, this is the idea that struck his mind.

After all, acquired education is always greater than innate instinct.

As long as the ideology is well instilled, it is completely possible to dismantle the distorted and sick society of the Giss Yankees from the inside little by little by spreading ideas.

Of course, this can take a long time.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, Zuo Si just had the mentality of trying it out, mainly wanting to control this starport in a relatively covert way, and by the way, build a magic ship that can sail freely in space and even in the astral realm.

You must know that the so-called "magic ship" of this multiverse is completely different from the spaceship full of science fiction in the understanding of many earthlings.

As the name suggests, magic ships are mainly powered by magical powers.

Therefore, it may well look like a wooden sailing ship, which has been enhanced and strengthened by various magics.

Or even directly unleash a legendary magic, permanently transforming it into another form, powered by magical power or gravity.

On the continent of Feren, this technology was already invented during the Nethrel era, and was widely used to explore outer space.

However, later, with the destruction of the Nethrel civilization, the magic ship-making technology gradually disappeared, and only a small part of it was scattered in the hands of some high-level mages and even legendary mages.

At least in Candlefort, Zuosi didn't find any record of the construction of the magic ship, so he wanted to get one from the Gisyankees to study it.

Hearing that his master wanted to be bad again, Davidian involuntarily shook his head with a wry smile, quickly took out two books, a silver giant sword, and a scepter from his arms and handed them over, and introduced in a low voice: "These books, one is the "Fitness Handbook", which can increase the physical attribute after reading, and the other is the "Meditation Scroll", which can increase the intellectual attribute after reading.

According to Elrond, they were all trophies that Achaya had obtained when she led her army to break through the seventeenth Layer of the Mind Flayer's stronghold.

Using two scrolls of magic, the cunning commander lured all the warriors, knights, and red dragons in the starport to hunt down more Mind Flayers, promising them as a reward for the best performers.

But in reality, she never thought about delivering on her promises.

But for now, both books are your own trophies.

In addition, this scepter is the [Erase Scepter], which can instantly destroy all magic protection, enchantments, and spells that are active over time.

It's a pity that the red dragon used it to knock on the wall of force and consume it, and now the overall structure has become very fragile.

Elon said that if you use the wishing or miracle spell of the Nine Rings, you should be able to repair it a little.

Finally, there is this genuine silver sword, which is specially assigned to the commander of the Red Dragon Knight. ”

"Not bad! It seems that the good things that the female Gisyankee commander was reluctant to use, are now all cheaper for me. ”

Zuo Si took these valuable magic items and stuffed them all into his pocket.

Good things like "Fitness Manual" and "Meditation Scroll" that can increase basic attributes must find a time to read quietly, and then they can produce corresponding effects, rather than just clicking on them like in the game.

As for the erasure of the scepter, he planned to take it back and hand it over to the lich in the organization who wielded the magic of the Nine Rings to repair it.

This thing is an out-and-out big killing weapon, and its power is equivalent to the Great Crack of the Nine Rings.

The only downside is that you can only use it once.

Once you're done with it, you'll have to use wishing or miracle magic to reshape it.

Otherwise, when the scepter touches a hard object, it will turn into a pool of worthless shards.

Just as Zuo Si was looking at the last trophy "Silver Sword" with interest, Elon suddenly ran out of the asteroid with a device and shouted out of breath...... Master! Yes...... There was a response! Two Astral Magic Ships are heading towards Starport. It won't be long before they emerge through the barriers between the planes. ”

"Oh? So fast! Zuo Si showed a hint of surprise.

"Of course! It's the largest outpost on the planet Toriel. What's more, what Achaiya sent out just now was the most urgent distress signal. Elon hurriedly explained.

Zuo Si nodded thoughtfully: "Since that's the case, then I'll leave it to you here." Have you figured out how to describe what happened in Starport to the Gist Yankees who rushed to the rescue? ”

"It's easy! Just push it all to the Mind Flayer. Anyway, the corpses have been disposed of, and there is no proof of complete death. Elon didn't rush to come up with his own solution.

For the Gisyankees, blaming all the calamities and blame on the Mind Snatcher is simply an almighty excuse and a black cauldron.

No Giss Yankee would suspect the sinister intentions of a sworn enemy.

"Excellent! Remember to report back to me as soon as everything is stable, and find a way to build a stable portal to Waterdeep. ”

With that, Zuo Si took Davidian and returned to the sixteenth floor of the Leyline Maze through the portal.

As a result, not long after walking back along the same path, I met three temporary teammates who had recovered their state.

The dwarf immediately laughed and waved his hand vigorously and shouted, "Hey! You didn't encounter any monsters or dangers, did you? ”

"Nope. Everything went very smoothly. I've found the Magic Net node, it's time to go back the way I came. Because further down there is the territory of the Mind Flayer, I don't think you want to deal with those octopus heads. Zuo Si responded with a relaxed face.

"Mind Flayer? Damn it! It's one of my most hated monsters. The dwarf cursed under his breath.

Because in the absence of defensive psychic control magic equipment, any adventurer will be instantly controlled by the other party when facing a horde of mind snatchers, and then become a slave who obeys his orders.

What's more, he was controlled by the benthic devil fish not long ago, and he didn't want to feel that terrible taste a second time.

"Then let's go back. But how can you safely climb the underground cliffs created by the earthquake just now? The psalmist's face was grim.

"It's easy! Later, I will bless everyone with the second ring magic [Arachnology]. With my current cast level, this spell should last around two hours. During this time, anyone can crawl like a spider on the cliffs. If it goes well, you should be able to climb up to it. ”

Zuo Si quickly came up with a solution.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to bring back the three people in front of him safely, he would have opened the portal and returned directly to the Mage Tower when he was in Starport just now.

"[Spider Walking]? Good idea! ”

The poet's eyes lit up instantly.

Because this is indeed the most ideal solution to the current dilemma.

Unfortunately, as a bard, he will never learn this magic that is very useful on adventures.

The plan was finalized, and the team quickly returned to the place where they had fallen.

With the help of the [Strong Memory Wand], Zuo Si cast four [Spider Walks] in one go, blessing everyone except himself.

Because he himself has the ability of the electorate - [Volley], he can directly step on the air and go up, there is no need to be so troublesome.

Soon, the entire adventuring party began to climb up and down the underground cliffs, which could be more than 10 kilometers high.

In the end, it took more than an hour or so, and finally managed to return to the eleventh floor.

Although he was a high-level adventurer, he was far superior to ordinary people in terms of strength, agility, and physique, but he still choked on the fatigue of dwarves, poets, and halfling thieves, and they all sat on the ground and gasped for air.

After all, when the [Spider Walk] was in effect, they were equivalent to running fast all the time, for fear that the spell would fail halfway through.

In order to regain their strength, and also to restore the spell slot in case of a possible crisis, the team returned to the tenth floor and chose to rest in one of the rooms for ten hours before continuing towards the surface.

Zuo Si, who has a superhuman memory along the way, discovers that previous earthquakes have inevitably changed many levels of the structure, and that some roads that were originally accessible have now been blocked, while those dead ends have been opened.

Luckily, he had a simple map ahead of time, so he was able to find the right direction with a little circle.

Since the monsters had been almost cleaned up before, they didn't encounter any powerful enemies along the way, at best, they were just some dark region creatures running up from the lower levels.

It took several days of stopping and stopping all the way, and the group finally returned to the cellar well of the Yawngate's Tavern.

"Phewβ€”finally came back alive. No one died! No injuries! There is no missing arm or leg! And we also brought back some loot worth a lot of money! ”

The dwarf Ruger touched the dirty beard on his chin, and the whole person became relaxed.

"Yes! We've gone down to the sixteenth floor this time. The active adventure team that can reach this record, I'm afraid the entire Waterdeep City can't find a second one. ”

The halfling Kora waved her little fist excitedly.

"I'm tired! All I want now is a bite to eat, a drink, and a quick shower to go to bed. The poet sighed and complained.

As the member of the team with the worst physique, it was definitely a challenge for him to travel for a long time with such a high intensity and long time.

Due to the exhaustion of the relationship, the last journey encountered a sudden battle and was unable to even maintain the concentration of spellcasting, and became a complete waste.

However, fortunately, the monsters in the first few layers are not strong, and Ruger and Davidian can slaughter them directly like chopping melons and vegetables.

Without any hesitation!

Zuo Si walked directly to the bottom of the well and pulled the hanging rope hard.

Soon, the people above began to try to pull the person at the bottom of the shaft up by dragging the rope.

However, Zuo Si obviously didn't need this service, and directly gave up his position to the poet, and he stepped on the air all the way up.

After a while, he appeared in the hall of the tavern with the latter.

"Oh, my God! Be...... It's Kears! Ruger's team is back safely! One of the adventurers snapped to his feet and exclaimed.

The other person next to him muttered to himself in a daze, "This ...... How is this possible! There was a violent earthquake in the Leyline Maze, and with the fact that they had disappeared for so many days, it should be impossible for them to survive. ”

"Hahahaha! Win! I won! Get your last bet money out! ”

Another guy who was obviously a "fun guy" rushed to the bar and slapped the table hard, bursting into a wild laugh at the boss.

Dunant shook his head with a smile, quickly took out a box for gambling money from the cabinet behind him, and then pushed the mess of more than forty silver, copper, and gold coins in front of the other party.

He was not at all surprised that the adventurous team had returned safely.

Because the innkeeper knew that Zuosi was the chosen one of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, and that he was also a terrifying arcane spellcaster.

So as long as you don't directly fight with the "mad mage" Helast Black Robe himself, even if you encounter danger, you can get out of the way.

After about three to five minutes, the four people at the bottom of the shaft were dragged up one by one.

Immediately after, all the guests in the tavern surrounded them like stars holding the moon, and began to ask about the details and stories of this adventure.

For most adventurers, bragging about their experiences to others in a tavern and then receiving applause and adoration is a joyful thing.

So whether it's a dwarf, a poet, or a halfling thief, while enjoying free food and drink (other guests pay), they begin to tell the story of adventure in a half-truth, half-fake, half-exaggerated way.

When he was excited, he would even take out the loot in the dimensional bag and show it to the people around him.

Since high-level adventurers who have the ability to enter the Leyline Maze below the tenth floor are very rare, no one present can tell whether it is real or fake.

But there's no denying that most listeners are quite happy with these exciting stories.

There are also some adventure teams that plan to enter the depths, so they hurry to record the places that need attention, and when they encounter them, they can be prepared.

However, Zuo Si obviously didn't like this kind of lively and noisy scene.

After a brief cleaning of his personal hygiene, he sat alone at the bar, eating the innkeeper's recommended specialties without a bite, and always with an indifferent smile on his face, not at all like an adventurer who had just returned from the Leylines Maze.

"Did you really enter the sixteenth layer of the Crystallization Labyrinth?" Dunant asked in a tone of not very certainty.

"Of course! I brought back a lot of souvenirs. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si pulled out the "silver sword" and gently placed it on the table.

When the innkeeper saw this, his face changed instantly, and he shivered uncontrollably, and then cursed in a panicked low voice: "Damn! You're just a madman! Put this thing away! I don't want the Gisyankees to hunt me down. ”

It is no secret that every real "silver sword" is priceless for the Giss Yankees.

If it is lost, they will immediately send a team to recover it, killing any creatures that have come into contact with the Silver Sword.

But Zuo Si waved his hand and comforted him disappreciably: "Relax." I've blessed the Obscuring Item on it, and now no prophecy magic can trace its location. Not to mention the fact that it's just a couple of Giss Yankees. I'd like to see how many casualties they have suffered before they give up. ”

Hearing the blessing of the magic of shielding detection, Dunant was obviously relieved, and said with a wry smile: "Okay. I now believe that you have entered the sixteenth floor. Because only there are a large number of Gisyankees. By the way, do you know anything about the sudden earthquake in the Leyline Maze? ”

"I don't know. All I know is that the earthquake came on very suddenly, and for a short time, accompanied by violent fluctuations in magical energy. If nothing else, it should be the work of a mad mage. Zuo Si gave his judgment straightforwardly.

"Is there any noticeable change in the overall structure?" Dunant continued to ask.

Zuo Si took a sip of the juice in the cup and moistened his throat, and replied nonchalantly: "Yes, but it's not too big."

The only drastic change is the appearance of a vertical passage on the eleventh floor that leads to the sixteenth floor.

If you are sure enough, you can jump directly and use the [Feather Fall Technique] to land safely.

Why, are you worried that the monsters in the dungeon will riot and then all flood into Waterdeep? ”

"That's right. In fact, immediately after the earthquake, the lords convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. My mission is to gather as much information and intelligence as possible from the returning adventurers. But for now, it seems that the problem should not be serious. Dunant rubbed his eyebrows slightly.

You must know that he has been worried for the past few days, and he has not even slept well.

I'm afraid that when I wake up, I will see a dark elf assassin standing in front of my bed, or a terrifying monster like the Mind Flayer or the Eye Demon.

After all, every time the monsters in the Leylines Maze get out of control, the first unlucky one is always the Yawn Gate Inn.

No way!

Who made this shop build at the exit to the Leyline Maze?

"If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back and rest. Tell Ruger for me later, and I'll leave the loot to him first. Once it's all sold, I'll send the proceeds to my residence in Waterdeep. By the way, you know where I live, right? Zuo Si said tentatively with a smile.

Dunant nodded quietly: "I know." In fact, a big man like you, who needs special attention, has received special attention from the lords from the moment he arrives in Waterdeep. ”

"Special attention? I think it's a bit of a vigilance. Alright, that's the end of the joke, I wish you a good night's sleep. ”

After saying this, Zuo Si took out a gold coin and put it on the table, got up and walked out of the hotel door with the Dragonborn knight turned around.

It was evening, and the golden glow covered the city.

Although the ambient temperature has become very low, many scantily clad women can still be seen soliciting customers on the streets.

Because for them, this is the last opportunity to make money before the winter season officially begins.

When the first snow falls, the area around Waterdeep will go below freezing.

At that time, no one will be able to stay outdoors for long periods of time unless they want to freeze to death on the street.

When Zuo Si returned to the house he had bought not long ago, he immediately saw Isadora standing at the door with a cold face, hands and feet red.

The girl didn't hesitate for even a second, she just pounced on her like crazy and just hugged her.

"What's going on? Why don't you stay inside? ”

Zuo Si asked, while using the Zero Ring Divine Technique [Treating Minor Injuries] to treat the frostbite on the girl's hands and face.

"I miss you......"

Isadora's voice was weak and whispered like a mosquito.

Seeing this, Handington, the shooter on the side, immediately explained helplessly: "Master, she has been like this since the third day after you left. In addition to sleeping, the first thing I do when I wake up is to stand at the door and wait until dark. The food was not very good, and the training of mental abilities and the study of magic were almost completely suspended. I've tried to persuade me several times, but to no avail. ”

Seeing the girl's pitiful appearance, Zuo Si felt a little headache, stared at the other party's eyes and admonished very seriously: "Don't do this next time, you know?" ”

"Hmm!"

Isadora hurriedly nodded vigorously, and at the same time hugged her hands tighter, and she did not let go until she finished eating, played, and went to bed.

For her unusually strong attachment and insecurity, Zuo Si obviously has no good way, and can only hope that time can slowly heal her.

Lulling the "problem girl" to sleep, Zuo Si quickly took out the "Meditation Scroll" and the "Fitness Manual", intending to finish reading these two magic books that can increase basic attributes first.

After all, basic attributes are the most practical, and they will be directly reflected in all aspects of physical fitness.

For example, after becoming a voter, his physique skyrocketed, and now that he has entered the state of casting focus, he will basically not be affected by any external factors.

And with the blessing of divine power, even if you don't rest for a few days and nights, your body won't feel tired.

Even a knife is used to cut a not-so-deep cut on the arm, and it will heal on its own within about a minute.

What's more, the physique represents the vitality of a living being.

The higher it is, the more damage it can take in battle, and the harder it is to be killed by enemies.

As for the Meditation Scroll, which can increase the intelligence attributes, it is one of the treasures that arcane spellcasters dream of.

You must know that the higher the intelligence, the more spell slots there are.

At the same time, the more difficult it is to be dodged, resisted, and exempted by the enemy when performing spell confrontations.

Zuo Si originally had a plan, planning to use various methods, including wishing techniques, to strive to pile up his intelligence attributes to more than fifty points.

Over the next few consecutive days.

He's basically not reading two stat-increasing spell books, or he's trying to make magic items out of flail snail shells.

Except for taking the time to meet with the three temporary teammates who entered the Leyline Maze and discuss the price of selling loot, I basically never went anywhere.

When the two books were read and played at the same time, Zuo Si was surprised to find that his intelligence attribute had increased by two points, from the original [18+5(23)] to [20+5(25)].

Obviously, it was not an ordinary Meditation Scroll, but a +2 Meditation Scroll.

In comparison, the "Fitness Handbook" is a little inferior, only a little more physique, reaching twenty-three points.

"Hmm...... An additional three-ring spell slot has been added. It feels pretty good! ”

Zuo Si felt his brain strengthened by magic, and his mind became sharper, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

As for the two attribute books, they had long since disappeared out of thin air at the moment of their effect.

Heading straight to the improvised workbench, he carefully removed a rewoven and strengthened Magic Resistance Belt.

Through closer inspection, it can be found that this originally inconspicuous black belt has countless silk threads emitting colorful glow inside.

And these silk threads, without exception, are all powdered from the highest part of the flail snail's shell, and then combined with the silk threads of the phase spider, and finally combined and braided.

Now, not only does this belt provide the wearer with some magic resistance, but it also has a 20% chance of deflecting a directional spell and 10% of the spell directly deflecting the spell back to the caster.

Although with Zuo Si's casting level, it is not possible to make a high-level magic item like [Mirror Shot Toupo] that is completely immune to energy damage for the time being, but it is definitely no problem to make a second-class one.

In fact, it's not just the belt that he's strengthened with a flail snail shell, but also the [Phase Cloak] he made in Port Carlin, and the [Speed Boots] that he peeled off his teacher's corpse.

Together, the three pieces of equipment have a stacked probability of 35% for spell deflection and a chance of about 20% for rebound.

This means that all directional spells have a 1 in 5 chance that they will bounce back.

Other spells also have a one-third chance of being affected by the deflection effect and will not work.

In fact, at the beginning, Zuo Si originally wanted to make a pair of gloves out of flail snail shells.

Because as the power of that blue dragon is being seized little by little, the [Dragon Glove] gradually merges with the skin on his hands.

Strictly speaking, it should already be considered a part of the body, not a simple piece of magical equipment.

However, in the process of making it, Zuo Si had the idea to add some more interesting magic effects to the gloves.

But halfway through, I found that it was almost impossible to do it on my own with my current cast level.

In desperation, the half-finished gloves could only be put aside first, and some small enhancements were made to the existing magic equipment.

Even the [Damage Absorption Talisman] hanging around his neck has +4 protection added.

This enhancement is equivalent to covering the body with a layer of energy force field.

When a weapon is slashed, it will be affected by the force field and deflect, and will eventually not be able to damage the wearer.

Since mages and warlocks can't wear armor, they basically wear one of these magic items with them to ensure that even if they don't have protective spells on their bodies, they won't be directly stabbed to death by a dagger from behind.

After fully upgrading his magic equipment, Zuo Si began to consider whether he would study the arcane sigil left on the blue-footed dragon snake by Helast Black Robe, summon the benthic demon fish and dissect it first, or start reading the Netherel scroll given to him by the goddess of magic.

Obviously, in order to quickly increase the level of caster and gain more knowledge, it is important to read the Nethrel Scroll first.

However, Zuo Si did not come into contact with these too esoteric things too early.

For from the book given to him by Ogmar, the god of knowledge, the Nethrel scroll does not contain any specific spells, but is close to a macroscopic theoretical elaboration.

To put it more plainly, if the spell is the equivalent of issuing guns and bullets to the soldiers.

Then the modern magic system of the Faeron Continent is teaching mages the technology of making and using these things.

But the Nethrel scroll is different.

It is closer to the position of mathematics in modern science, that is, the foundation of everything, and at the same time very abstract, jerky, complex, and difficult to understand.

For mages who don't have enough knowledge and brains, and just want larger caliber guns and bullets, reading the Netherriel Scrolls may not be a good idea.

Because just as advanced mathematics can drive countless students crazy!

The Netherel Scroll can also drive countless mages crazy!

Looking at the ten gold leaf pages lying in the box, as well as the magic symbols that were constantly changing on the surface, Zuo Si couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile: "I really can't imagine that this supreme treasure in the eyes of other arcane spellcasters has become a hot potato in my hands. ”

"Are you bothered by this?"

With an unfamiliar voice echoing in his ears, a young and beautiful female figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the room.

She had long black hair like a waterfall, wore a dark silk robe, and wore a netted girdle studded with countless gems around her waist.

"Are you...... Goddess of Magic?! ”

Since Zuo Si had already had the experience of facing the incarnation of the gods several times, after observing for a while, he immediately confirmed the identity of the other party.

Because the moment the eye of knowledge swept over the web-like band, it immediately saw a surging surge of arcane energy.

You don't need to ask to know that what it represents is a magic net that covers the whole world.

Midnight smiled and nodded, "Yes." You are as described by the God of Knowledge, not only are you very intelligent, but you are also very sensitive to divine powers. ”

"Not long after I arrived in Feren, I was forcibly endowed with divine powers and the identity of a chosen person by Talona, the goddess of poison and disease. Whoever encounters this kind of thing will inevitably be vigilant. Zuo Si defended himself.

He didn't show any flustery about the sudden visit of the Goddess of Magic, but instead looked at the woman who had been made a god from a mortal at about the same time as Ciric.

If he remembered correctly, in about seven or eight years, as Ciric began to go mad and the Sons of Baal sprang up from all over the world to cause turmoil, chaos and war, Midnight's former lover warrior Cranvo would return from death to become a new generation of Grim Reaper.

At that time, the situation in the entire Faeron Continent will revolve around the entangled grievances of these three gods.

I'm afraid that they would never have dreamed that three of the four members of the adventure team had become gods after the turbulent years, and all of them were powerful gods who stood at the apex of the gods.

Only the priest of the last goddess of love and beauty, Shuna, saw through everything, chose to enter the realm of his own goddess after death, and lived happily in various eighteen forbidden service places all day long, living an indulgent life that countless men envy, jealous and hated.

"But it is undeniable that your thoughts, consciousness and actions are very close to Talona in many ways. Although you are not as evil, chaotic and headstrong as she is. What's more, because of you, the electorate, Talona has more options. Midnight commented with a smile.

She had always been aware of the change in the inclination of the Church of the Goddess of Poison and Disease in the Ammu area, and felt that it was a good thing.

Whether the end result is that Talona transforms into a neutral faction, or splits directly into two gods, it can weaken the power of the evil faction in disguise.

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders innocently: "Maybe." But what does this have to do with me?

I've openly stated from the beginning that I have no interest in the eternal battle between the gods.

Because this senseless fight will not come to fruition at all.

Whether the good camp crosses the red line or the evil camp crosses the red line, it will be immediately hit mercilessly by the god of God.

Moreover, it seems to me that the thoughts, philosophies, teachings, and values of the gods are too narrow, extreme, and bigoted, even Irmat, who is widely recognized as the most amiable and friendly god of suffering.

And I grew up living in a godless world, at least as far as I know, none of the gods enshrined in the temple have the ability to give believers divine magic.

The attitude of the social environment towards God is not so much faith as a naked transaction.

Mortals serve the gods, pay tribute to them, perform all kinds of strange rituals, just in exchange for the gods to fulfill their wishes, nothing more.

So I embraced the idea of materialism and for a long time believed that God was false, non-existent, something created by mortals according to their own imagination and needs.

Because of my upbringing, I am destined not to see God as the only faith in my spiritual world, and not to see serving God as a duty and an honor like other believers and your chosen people. ”

Midnight immediately showed a thoughtful expression when he heard this, and quickly asked in a slightly playful tone, "This is why you were able to make a deal with the God of Knowledge?" He puts himself on a relatively equal footing and gives you the right to respect and choose? ”

Zuo Si nodded seriously: "Yes!" If Irmat, the god of suffering, gives people the impression of kindness, compassion, mercy and selfless help, willing to bear suffering on behalf of anyone or even the whole world.

The God of Knowledge is like a wise and learned sage, who is never in a hurry to express his opinions and suggestions, but listens to others first.

Whoever he talked to, he would not see himself as a god on high, but would engage in discussions that would benefit both of them like old friends.

What I admire most is that the God of Knowledge never has any preconceived views and positions. ”

"Hehe, this is what I admire most about His Majesty Ogma. It seems that we now have a mutual friend. ”

There was a hint of unbelievable playfulness in Midnight's tone.

Fortunately, Zuo Si was a "master of expression management" a long time ago, and he didn't show any gaffes, but politely and tentatively said: "You took a huge risk to lower your avatar, shouldn't it be just to talk to me about this?" ”

"No, of course not. I'm actually here to help you with some of your troubles. You're intrigued by the Netherel Scrolls, but you're worried that the knowledge in them will irreversibly alter your brain, mind, consciousness, and cognition. Right? Midnight stretched out his hand and gently stroked the scroll heads, asking without replying.

"Yes. I'm not sure if I'm ready to read these magic scrolls written by the ancient creator race of the Saluk Witch. ”

Zuo Sida generously admitted his concerns.

Unlike many of the megalomaniacal mages in the Continent of Faeron, he was well aware of how vast and exaggerated the theoretical knowledge contained in the Nethrel Scrolls was.

It's as if in the modern scientific system of the earth, basic science is always more difficult, more important, and more complex than applied science.

And the Netherel Scroll is equivalent to a collection of magic basics in the magic system of the Faeron Continent.

"It seems that you already know the mysteries of the Netharel Scroll, and you are taking a considerable degree of caution about it.

This is very good!

Because the above two points are just the prerequisites for reading and learning the knowledge recorded in it.

If someone who doesn't know enough reads a Netherel scroll without permission, they will often be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of knowledge that is difficult to understand, resulting in a completely wrong understanding.

If you are not cautious enough, you ignore the limit of what your own intelligence can carry, and you are crazy about absorbing knowledge.

Then when a certain critical point is reached, the brain of this greedy person will be irreversibly damaged, and he will completely become a conscious madman. ”

Midnight did not hesitate to express his appreciation for Zuo Si's attitude.

Because no one, especially a mage, can maintain such sanity and restraint when facing the Nethrel Scroll.

The first instinct of most arcane spellcasters tends to be to look at it first.

"What do you mean...... I'm now qualified to start reading these scrolls? Zuo Si asked cautiously.

Midnight smiled and nodded, "That's right." The ten scrolls you see happen to be a chapter that illustrates the basic understanding and overview of primordial magic by the Witch of Saruk.

It can help you understand the origin of magic in this world from its roots, as well as the rules that can be used in most magical worlds.

If you can read them all and transform them into your own knowledge, then there will be no more secrets in front of you about any spells. ”

"These ten are the opening primer to the Nethrel Scroll?"

Zuo Si's eyes widened in surprise, a little incredulous that the goddess of magic was so good to him, and even specially screened the contents of the scroll.

That's right.

Don't worry, like the God of Knowledge, I just want you to bring back all kinds of new magical knowledge and technology from other worlds, and I don't have any ulterior motives.

Alright, now concentrate on letting me teach you how to properly understand what is written on the scroll.

Believing that with the help of the Eye of Knowledge, you should understand much faster than others. ”

With that, Midnight pulled out the top Netherel scroll and gently spread it out to allow the silver magical symbols to line up in an extremely regular pattern.

For this kind of opportunity for the goddess of magic to guide herself, Zuo Si will certainly not let it go easily.

He even had the bother to ask what the two gods were talking about, quickly focusing on the magic hair symbol appearing on the scroll while listening to the goddess's explanation.

It didn't take long for me to enter a state of selfless learning.
