The midday sun shines through the glass inside the family library in Leollan, a large marble room with a six-story ceiling adorned with huge magic crystal chandeliers, towering bookshelves on three sides of the wall, and a folding, spiraling wooden staircase that winds its way up the shelves, reaching the roof with your hand at the top of the staircase. On the other side is a transparent wall made of glass.

This is not the fragile glass in Heras's room, the reinforced steel glass reinforced by magic patterns can effectively resist the attacks of low-level magic, and has functions such as fire prevention and dehumidification. This glass wall is worth enough to buy a bustling town, and this is only a preservation and aesthetic facility for the Magic Family Library

Heras was scrolling through the books he wanted on the stairs of one of the bookshelves, where he had woken up early in the morning to look for information about his promotion. After probing his spiritual power into the spatial ring and taking out some dry food for lunch, Heras began to scan the sorted books into the quantum brain one by one.

Ordinary space equipment does not require mental power to use, and there is no mechanism to identify the owner, just relying on the energy attached to the equipment itself.

However, the internal space of the Heras Space Ring is too large, and the inscription circle and magic gems attached to the ring are only enough to maintain the stability of the internal space, and there is no extra energy to open the ring. Therefore, when you use it, you need to consume mental power to replenish it.

The Leolan family has an extremely rich collection of books, and the Universal Divine Blood Activation Method was the one that Tahira found here, but she has no chance of returning it, and now the book has been digested by Heras.

He was looking for information on promotions that had been eliminated in ancient times. The only advantage of these ancient methods is that they can very quickly engrave the configuration in the meditation space on the soul, and the follow-up processing of the inscription is very rough, and it is often the case that the inscribed spell configuration disappears inexplicably. If you are about to activate the spell configuration and find that it suddenly disappears, it will be a tragedy for the electric battle.

And after the commonly used promotion circle engraves the spell on the soul, the spell configuration formed in the meditation space will no longer suddenly disappear. The configuration will remain stable in the meditation space until the caster actively removes it from the soul.

Heras can instantly form spell configurations, without giving the bloodline power any chance to interfere with the structure. The only question to be solved now is how the speed at which he is engraved in the soul can be faster than the speed at which the power of the bloodline disintegrates. In fact, even the ancient promotion method did not have such a fast inscription speed, he just wanted to find a way to solve the problem from it.

After reading the information on the ancient promotions, Heras sighed, since those methods had been eliminated for too long, the existing records were scattered fragments. No samples of the circle were found, let alone their basic theories. The abandoned knowledge has long since disappeared into the dust of history.

Heras walked up the stairs to the top row of bookshelves, where the last bit of books on the history of magic was left, and he couldn't find a clue so he had to find another way. After flipping through a few random books, a broken book that had fallen apart caught his attention, with the words on the cover: Interesting Facts about the Ancient Mage of Alania.

If you look at the book carefully, it mainly describes an ancient magical kingdom of Alannia, whose mages repeatedly make jokes in their interactions with other mages because they can't accept new ways to advance through magic.

At the end of the book, the author concludes that some of the magic materials produced by Alania were necessary for the ancient promotion circle, and are not needed at all in the new promotion coordination circle. Therefore, when Arania was facing the collapse of the economic pillar, he was very out of shape, trying his best to save the situation, and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to improve the ancient promotion circle. But before any results could be studied, the whole country went bankrupt because of the economic crisis

With the kingdom falling in such a ridiculous way, Alania became a big joke in history and a typical negative lesson for stubbornness.

"There is still no information on the ancient promotion circle, but there is a clue, since Alannia has devoted the power of the country to study the ancient promotion method, then they should leave a lot of traces of research," Heras continued to flip through some of the books behind, but found nothing. Then he flew straight up another staircase and began to look through the geographical map of Anphalon, trying to find out where ancient Alania was.

In a nautical chart, he found that the present-day Kaluran Islands were the location of Alannia in ancient times, and because of the change of continents, the altitude of that place gradually dropped below sea level, and after the sinking of the Cargilon Mountains, the sea began to pour into the Alannian plain, and the sea tribes took the opportunity to occupy the place. As a dividing continent between various sea and continental races, the Kaluran Islands are a haven for smuggling and crime, as well as a golden place for digging for wealth.

"It's really far" There is no long-distance teleportation array between the sea clan and the humans, and there is no way to cross that vast sea by teleportation alone, so he must take a boat from the east coast of the Principality of Borati to set off for Kalulan. The trouble was that the Odin Empire and the Quicksand Empire in the east were at war, and the two countries had cut off all teleportation facilities from each other, and he couldn't even teleport to the Duchy of Borati southeast of Odin.

"It seems that we can only go to the Pan-Continental Commercial Community in the south of the Quicksand Empire first, and teleport from the Magic Council there to the Duchy of Borati. And it's the smuggler's stronghold, so there's a way to get straight to Kalulan. "Heras is ready to leave tomorrow morning. Before that, you have to prepare the corresponding materials and materials, and you also have to attend the general's dinner. Because the general was not used to the family banquets of the Salamse family, he never lived in a family estate in the suburbs. He had to prepare before he dared to enter the capital

Night soon fell, and at the door of General Salams's cold mansion came a figure stretched out in the night, wearing the Empire's popular dustproof trench coat and a pair of gold-rimmed monocles, the golden chains of which swayed gracefully in the air. The general's servants quickly welcomed him in.

General Salamth looked at the new image of Heras in front of him, his hair had been dyed a deep black with magical potions, and his pupils like pools of blood were covered in a black false eye mask.

"You don't see the features of the Bloody King anymore, it looks like those young merchants of the Empire, and that eye mask is very good. Goode gave it to you?" said the general as he ate.

said that it was a dinner party, and when he came to Heras, he found that there were only two people at the table: him and the general. "Just in case, the news of my activation of the resurrection body is now circulating everywhere in the aristocratic circles of Yanjing. He took a light bite of the bloody steak and felt a little uncomfortable. In the past, when he was in the Federation, he would never eat anything with blood.

"That's right, I'm more at ease with you now. Your bloodline abilities will drive the women of the Salamth family crazy, and it will not end well if some of them with great power recognize you. The general warned faintly. "Especially my legendary Grand Duchess who I don't know what to call her, if you appear in front of her, you will be ready to spend the rest of your life in bed. ”

Heras shivered: "I knew"

Towards the end of the oppressive dinner, the general suddenly asked, "Do you hate me when I executed Yara?" ”

He didn't know how to answer, stemming from the deep dependence and admiration in the memory of this body. He has a lot of affection for Yara, and most of the reason why Young Master Heras's surname seems distorted in the past is because of his father, and this noble young master even swore in his heart that he would take revenge on the Quicksand Empire.

But now Heras has no ill feelings towards General Salams, after all, his real relatives are in the Federation......

Before he could think of an answer, the general continued, "Dillian is a knight of blood, don't you wonder why she died of excessive grief?"

Heras was shocked, and was blinded by the habitual thinking brought by the Federation. The Bloodline Knight can control his emotions very well, and no matter how sad and angry he is, he will not die because of it

Then the general got up and motioned for Heras to follow him. Suspicious, he followed the general to an underground secret room in the backyard, where he clapped his hands and four men in black robes walked in. Then the general took out a dimly glowing scroll and handed it to them, commanding, "Activate it, use your lives!"

The four mysterious men, all shrouded in black robes, saluted and held the scroll together, and soon Heras saw blood spilling from their bodies, and then it burned violently.

"At least these four people are high-level mages, and that scroll is legendary magic!?" Heras thought in shock, what did the general want to do? As the four high-ranking mages turned to ashes, a faint golden glow lit up in the chamber, and then the light vanished.

Hellas thought there would be some thrilling magical effect, but it turned out that the legendary scroll, which cost the lives of four high-level mages, even had small magic fluctuations

"Robles's Curtain of Isolation cost me most of my fortune to get this scroll. The general explained calmly, as if he had not seen his subordinates reduced to ashes.

Robles the "Watcher" is a strong man who specializes in special areas. His friends privately call him a voyeur, and when Robles was a dimensional observer ambassador at the Pillar of the Void, he once used his signature legendary spell, Robles's Prism Eye, to spy on the kingdom of some gods, and the upper echelons of the Pillar of the Void were all viewed by him. He was removed shortly after taking office, and since then he has been wandering freely. Until it disappeared thousands of years ago.

Many people think that he is not dead, and legendary mages have a long lifespan, the shortest has a lifespan of at least a thousand years, and the longer can live for nearly 20,000 years, and the closer to igniting the divine fire, the longer they will live.

As a voyeur, Robles naturally has powerful counter-surveillance methods, and the curtain of isolation he creates can even briefly isolate the sight of the gods of the plane within the supreme plane.

This scroll was scarce thousands of years ago, and if one of them fell into the hands of the general, you can imagine the price he paid.

After the light faded, the general took out a ring from his pocket. Heras's first reaction to it was a rusty screw cap. The taupe-mottled shell makes the ring as inconspicuous as a tattered one.

"The Ring of Separation, this is a legendary spatial ring, but the space inside is only the size of two books, and the curtain of isolation is permanently solidified in its space. The general said in amazement. Place the ring in the palm of your hand so that Heras can see it more clearly.

"It's your father's relic, the proud work of Robles the Overseer, and I don't know how your father got it. The general placed the ring in Heras's hand. "Open it and see?"

Heras took the ring and probed his spiritual power, but there was no response.

"You don't need to consume any mental power to use it, and at the same time it doesn't have a mechanism to identify its owner, just take it with you. The general explained.

Heras took it with him, and then he saw a fragment of a black crystal lying in the small space inside the ring, and countless dead gray rays flickered rapidly in it.

He had never seen that kind of blackness in two lifetimes, darker than the deepest part of a black hole, and even quieter than the most silent realm of death in the underworld. But a torrent of dead gray flashed that was even more chaotic than the bottom of the abyss, and at a glance, he even felt that the divine blood cells in his whole body began to come active.

Questioned, "What is this?"

The general looked at him in amazement, and asked instead of answering, "You don't want to take it out?"

Heras was inexplicable, how could such an unknown object be taken out rashly by himself.

The general stared at Heras for a while: "You are really special, Heras, the first time I saw it, a voice appeared in my head, pick it up, pick it up, and you can become a god." ”

"You did?" asked Heras.

"Yes, your mother did the same. After hearing this voice, my consciousness was in a trance, and I took it out unconsciously. The general sighed.

"Holding it, I found that the blood veins all over my body were boiling, growing rapidly, almost giving me the illusion that I would immediately become a god. Then at the apex of expansion, it took the vast majority of my life force. Delian must have been the same, she unconsciously touched it when Yara returned. ”

Hearing this, Heras's hand shook and he was about to throw this thing away.

"Don't worry, just let it stay in the Ring of Isolation and it'll be fine, as soon as your eyes become confused, I'm ready to stop you. But you're obviously not affected. The general calmed him down.

"What is this?" asked Heras, undecided, again.

"I don't know what it is, Yara always gets her hands on weird things, so I'm against my daughter marrying him, and it really killed Delian. The general replied that he had been haunted by the matter.

"But I know it's anything but ordinary, and it involves Yara's treason. In the process of ambushing Yara, many of us died, and in the end only me and the two ** divisions were left alive. The general continued. "Before she died, Arra used all her strength to tell me where the ring was, and told me to look for it at least two or three years later, and told me not to take it with me. ”

"I didn't care at first, the anger at Yara's treason had filled my heart, how could I believe the words of a traitor. The general said this, obviously with regret. "But then there was a purge of the Empire, claiming to be the uprooting of traitors, and many of those put to death convinced of their loyalty to the Empire. These people didn't do anything at all, and they had nothing to do with Yara. Until the end, several members of the royal family were even executed. His Majesty was also implicated. ”

"I began to revisit Yara's words, and waited long after the storm had subsided before I went to retrieve it. When the general said this, he even said in a sad and mournful tone: "Heras, get out of the quicksand as soon as possible, although I don't know what happened, I can feel that this empire is no longer the empire it used to be." ”
