"Let me see, this thing should have instructions for use, where is it hidden......

In the collection room, Sean and the other four gathered around to study a small alchemy device.

This is the Hobbes family's collection of readers, and since they haven't used it for a long time, they are not very familiar with its specific use.

As a matter of common sense, the use of such instruments is recorded in a place that is easy to read.

But now Sean didn't find any information written anywhere, and that might be ......

Out of energy?

Leander also thought of this possibility, and he reached out and took out a small piece of energy crystal from his arms, gently placed it on the charging port of the instrument, and mobilized the energy in it into the instrument.

The soft white light lit up, and the runes inside the instrument were distorted, transmitting a message along the spiritual power of everyone.

"Well, it takes 1 volt of standard aether energy per minute, but fortunately it is compatible with xenoether, otherwise it will cost a lot of gold to read the information in these crystals."

Sean picked up the energy crystal and threw it to Leander, infusing it with his own mana.

Sure enough, the instrument was still running as usual.

"That's easy, there are three of us here, one to keep the equipment running, one to read the crystal's contents, and the rest to quickly meditate on the aether and come to the shift when it's almost over."

Leander's proposal was quickly agreed upon, and Earl Hobbes was not counted as an apprentice.

"Let me do the reading work first, I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Sean licked his lips, he was very eager to see the knowledge of the formal level, maybe the opportunity to be promoted was among them?

"Yes."

Leander had no objection to the mage, and the four of them moved the information recording crystal reader out of the storage room, and ordered the servants to fetch a large amount of ink and paper.

Speaking of which, this kind of transcribing text is not only done by spellcasters, and warfighters like Leander can achieve similar effects as long as they learn some special combat skills, but they are not as flexible and easy to learn as spellcasters.

"Then begin."

Sean's expression turned serious, and he unleashed a circle of protective spells around him, then picked up a piece of information recording crystal and placed it on the instrument, and probed his mental power into it.

……

Buzz Buzz ......

A cacophony of voices sounded in the depths of his consciousness, and Sean felt a stream of heat gradually pouring out of his soul, his thinking speed increasing, and his time perception slowing down a little.

His spiritual power became stronger and stronger, and he could cover more than ten times the original distance.

He "saw" the whole picture of Hobbs Manor, as well as the interior of some of the surrounding buildings that were not shielded from his psychic powers, and his psychic powers could even penetrate into the underground that he had never observed, and perceive the turbulent trickle underground.

After enjoying this powerful spiritual perception, Sean was a little reluctant to retract the spiritual power that had been amplified many times.

He hadn't forgotten what he was going to do.

Gathering his spirit, Sean gathered his powerful spiritual power and stabbed it into the inside of the information recording crystal.

A popping bubble sounded, and Sean's face lit up with joy.

He successfully connected to the inside of the information record crystal, and felt the vast amount of information stored inside.

This information is stored in a different way than by alchemy, and it is not "engraved" inside the information recording crystal.

Their form of existence is more akin to a "small solidified energy".

This bizarre condensed solid-state energy naturally expands upon encountering psychic power, absorbing the surrounding aether to replicate itself, and transmitting the clone into an imprint that is transmitted to the reader's soul.

This way, the reader can quickly and easily memorize it, and even temporarily ignore the specifics of the contents, but wait until they have time

time, and then slowly recall and digest.

"It's a bit like the replication of ordinary life genes, but the object of the replica has become the surface of the user's soul? What a world-changing invention."

Sean sighed and began to take in the contents little by little.

Although the mental power of the probationary level has been greatly enhanced by the reader, it is not necessary to be distracted while performing this step.

Normal full-level professionals don't need to be so focused, for them, the information record crystal is not much different from ordinary objects, and they can learn the contents with just a swipe.

It can be replaced by a trainee-level professional like Sean, it is not so easy, rubbing requires a focused spell casting state, and it is easy to make mistakes in words and sentences by focusing on two things.

So his approach was to get enough information, then read it slowly and use spells to write it down on paper.

……

As the minutes ticked by, Sean got more and more information.

It wasn't until the accumulating imprints made the soul feel a little uncomfortable that Sean disconnected from the information record crystal.

With the blessing of the reader's spiritual power, he directly opened his mouth and chanted the incantation.

"Apprentice Spell - Rubbing"

The sound of the spell startled Leander and the mage, and they were relieved to realize that Sean had not released an offensive spell.

"Is it more powerful to cast a spell like this?"

The mage asked, confused, apparently not understanding why Sean hadn't stopped using the instrument and rubbing again.

"Oh! I think so."

"Stronger spiritual power can enhance the connection between the spell and the source sea, and if it is a spellless spell, it can absorb more ether around it."

"Of course, the most important thing is that strong mental power can enhance the ability to control spells, and rubbing happens to need this."

Sean shrugged.

This guy must be a wild mage who has been wandering outside for a long time, otherwise it is impossible for an orthodox academic or master-apprentice mage not to understand these truths.

But to be honest, Sean's foundation is not very solid either.

After all, Lauren is just an old alchemy mage, and Lauren has nothing to teach Sean about the various principles of spells, at most he teaches according to the content of the book, and there is nothing to expand.

When you get to the official level, be sure to find a place to make up for these basics.

Sean thought as he watched the information he read.

……

Countless pieces of paper flew in the sky, and the ink turned into handwriting under the effect of spells, and while watching, Sean would also use spells to rub the contents on the paper, and then further compile them into books later.

"Let me see...... Oh? This is an autobiography."

Sean's eyes widened.

He quickly understood the contents, and at first he smiled with a little excitement, but as he read more and more, his face became a little difficult to look at.

It wasn't until he saw the last part of his autobiography that Sean's expression became extremely gloomy.

He slammed the reader away, tossing the information record crystal aside.

The paper and ink flying in and out of the air lost the support of mana and fell to the ground in pieces, forming a mess.

"Damn it! See for yourselves the end of this autobiography!"

"I guess, we're really going to have to be *** annoyed!"

In the stunned gaze of the two, Sean could no longer control his emotions, he gritted his teeth and dropped such a sentence, and then picked up his staff and wanted to leave.
