Seeing that the auction was already cold, Richard personally walked up to the booth, put on gloves and gently flipped through the magic book, although the content behind it had been sealed, Richard still saw a few familiar Chinese characters on the magic book, on which were written key, plane, blue, passage and other key words.

Seeing this scene, Richard was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately knew that this magic book should be something left by Shao Gongyuan.

Richard lived in the Dawn Plane for twenty-five years, and grew up to a seventh-order magician, duke lord. Despite the remoteness of the kingdom of Grant, years of struggle Richard has grown into a big man. The strength he holds, even if it is placed in the Divine Radiance Empire, is a great lord above the earl, and even with his personal strength, Richard can fight with the legendary knight.

With more than 20 years of experience, except for Shao Gongyuan, Richard has never seen a second person use Chinese characters.

Compared with more than ten years ago, Richard had a deeper city, even if he knew that this magic book was extremely precious, he still quietly asked the auctioneer, "Is this magic book the original?"

"Dear Duke Haaland, this magic book is, of course, the original. The Linus family was not doing well in the kingdom of Lane, and in order to raise resources to expand their territory, they sold a batch of transcendent inheritances to our Chamber of Commerce, including this magic book.

Of course, after entering our Chamber of Commerce, we will also copy the content of the magic book. If the Duke decides to buy out this magic book, we won't sell it in the future. However, the price of the buyout will be raised to 30,000 standard magic crystals."

After listening to the auctioneer's introduction, Richard nodded slightly, and then spoke: "The origin of this magic book is very clear, the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Starnik have mastered this set of astrology, because the scope of dissemination has expanded a lot, and the value of this set of astrological inheritance has decreased a lot.

Even if I buy it out of yours, it's still useless, because the great nobles of Stanik will leak it. Although I really want to buy it, it is very inappropriate to give out 6,000 magic crystals. I think the actual value should be about one-third."

As soon as Richard's words fell, the auctioneer of the Sorenheim family immediately shook his head and said, "What Lord Duke said is not right, this set of astrology is a very good set of spells, it can't be sold at a high price in Starnik, we can sell it in other countries."

"The news has leaked, and the nobles of the nearby countries, if they want to trade this inheritance, will also seek out the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Starnik. Compared with multinational chambers of commerce, the big nobles who operate locally, they don't open their mouths.

In addition to a few nearby countries, in places like the Divine Radiance Empire and the Magic Kingdom of Makholm, astrology cannot be sold at a high price, and the best choice for your Chamber of Commerce is still to sell this magic book at this auction.

Moreover, the threshold for learning astrology is very high, and you need to master the astrological meditation method first. I'll give me 4,000 magic crystals, and you can trade the meditation method to me together."

In fact, Harland has mastered the complete Starlight Meditation Method, which can meditate on the Fourth Order of Legends, and is the main reference material for Richard to deduce the meditation method.

And the Starlight Meditation Method mastered by the great nobles of Starnik can only meditate on the Nine Rings, which is far inferior to Harland's leader.

But this situation is not clear to the outside aristocracy.

Even the ordinary magicians in the Harland Territory don't know the inside story, and the people who have mastered the situation of the Starlight Meditation Method are the high-level leaders of the Harland Mage Association, and basically they will not leak the news.

Because of the difficulty of getting started with the Starlight Meditation Method, Harland's territory has only trained two formal Starlight Mages and four apprentices over the years, among which Margaret is a Starlight Mage, and she has been promoted to the Second Ring Mage this summer, she is only thirteen years old, because of her good congenital conditions, her meditation progress is better than that of Richard and Sophia. ap.

With the purchase of the Starlight Meditation Method, these apprentices can be exposed to the light, and Margaret will not arouse suspicion in the future, and learn astrology openly.

This astral astrology has been inspected by the Sorenheim Chamber of Commerce, although there are some strange words that have not been deciphered, there is nothing special about it, and the whole book has already been copied by the Sorenheim family.

Something like a transcendent heritage that can be sold multiple times.

The original spellbook is indistinguishable from the transcript except for its alleged antique value.

Solenheim Chamber of Commerce

The auction of the original magic book is mainly to raise the price and sell it at a high price. Seeing that the nobles present did not continue to bid, the senior management of the Sorenheim Chamber of Commerce finally agreed to Richard's request after deliberation.

After paying for 4,000 magic crystals, Richard bought this magic book left behind by his fellow earthlings.

Returning to the box, Richard unleashed a defensive enchantment and carefully flipped through the spellbook.

In this special magic book, each page records several Chinese characters, and the sum of more than a hundred pages of magic books adds up to more than five hundred Chinese characters in it.

The content of more than 500 Chinese characters is very messy and requires a special password to unravel it, and Richard does not have a password, and it takes a lot of effort to decipher the content.

Moreover, the era of Shao A.D. is more than 3,000 years ago, and the vocabulary related to humanities and geography is almost completely different, which not only requires a wealth of knowledge, but also sometimes has to be guessed.

Fortunately, there were many special phrases in the Chinese characters, and by summarizing and organizing these phrases, it lasted until the evening, and Richard only roughly understood the hidden meaning in the magic book.

This magic book is indeed a legacy of Shao Gongyuan, and it records a special coordinate, which is located in the Dragon Canyon, dozens of miles away from the place where Richard blocked the plane passage back then.

According to the records left by Shao Gongyuan, the Starlight Alliance, the organization of the traversers he led back then, established a dimensional passage in this place and installed a boundary gate. Through this plane passage, you can enter a magical plane called Azure Plane, where Shao Gongyuan left a special treasure.

In the battle to block the plane passage back then, Richard also entered the so-called blue plane, but unfortunately the actual situation was completely different from what Shao Gongyuan recorded.

This plane has been completely infected by the undead and has become the property of the undead lord.

After all, Shao Gongyuan's era is more than 3,000 years ago, and after 3,000 years of vicissitudes, everything back then has long been wrong.

Perhaps after the defeat of the Starlight Alliance, the Undead Lord successfully invaded the Azure Plane, and finally transformed the Azure Plane into the Necromantic Realm.

Although the Azure Plane has been reduced to the Necromantic Realm, the information left by Shao Gongyuan is still of high value, because the Starlight Alliance led by him has established a complete realm gate and controlled a plane passage.

Although the value of the necromantic realm is slightly lower than that of the magic plane, there are also some special treasures in the necromantic realm, in addition to the most important soul crystals, there are also some negative energy magic plants and magic minerals.

To develop a complete necromantic realm, the power of the Harland Mage Association is far from enough, but if you master the complete realm, you can enter the necromantic realm by smuggling.

Of course, after entering the necromantic realm, you must master some special spells, and ordinary soldiers and low-level professionals will not be of any use after entering. Because the Necromantic Realm is filled with a lot of negative energy, there is basically no water and no food, and if you want to survive in the Necromantic Realm for a long time, you must master protective spells such as the Holy Light Enchantment and the Elemental Enchantment.

Without the protection of a high-level magician, even if a high-level knight enters, he will not be able to survive for long if he releases this special enchantment.

Of course, ordinary people in the Dawn plane want to live in the necromantic realm, there are other ways, the first is to build a special elemental furnace, this kind of furnace can refine negative energy, forming a special kind of enchantment, blocking negative energy from the outside of the enchantment.

The second method is to place the divine fire inside the necromantic realm, and through the calcination of the divine fire, the negative energy of the space is purified, so that an area can become suitable for human survival.

Harland Leader has mastered the construction method of the Elemental Furnace, and to build an Elemental Furnace that transforms negative energy, it requires the use of four legendary soul crystals, seven kinds of extraordinary materials, and tens of millions of gold coins of extraordinary resources, which is too large for even a Duke family like Harland to bear.

Even if the Elemental Furnace is built, the Divine Fire is ignited, and the forward base is established, with the power of Harland, it will not be able to hold on to the Necromantic Realm.

The undead are very sensitive to the breath of the living, and once they choose to establish a solid base, they will inevitably face the undead tide of the entire world, and the two worlds will never die.

Once the advance base is lost, the Undead Lord can establish an invasion channel by mastering the boundary gate and pushing back the coordinates of the Dawn plane.

At that time, it will be almost impossible for Richard and Haaland to resist the small body.

Moreover, now the situation of the Dawn Plane is special, although the state of the Seven Gods has recovered somewhat after the Ancient War, and they can give some power, but for the Lord of the Undead, the seriously injured Seven Gods are not considered to be opponents.

Without the protection of the Seven Gods, the Dawn Plane would probably fall into the hands of the undead.

Richard has lived in the Dawn Plane for more than 20 years, and has long since integrated into this plane, where Richard has regained relatives, wives, and friends.

These are all things he can't give up, and Richard won't do it rashly without being completely sure.

If you don't build a forward base, although it will be dangerous to enter the Necromantic Realm, you can hide the location of the Realm Gate, unless you are unlucky enough to encounter the Undead Lord, otherwise the coordinates of the Dawn Plane will basically not be exposed. After all, with the power of the Harland Mage Guild, it is already possible to hunt legendary undead creatures.

Although the magic book left by Shao Gongyuan is very ordinary, the amount of information recorded in Chinese characters is very significant, and the content in it not only talks about the plane passage and coordinates, but also talks about the key to open the plane passage.

This special key is hidden in the Lake of Life, and it is necessary to use the correct spell to remove the key. The spell is written in Offalan, but it requires Chinese pronunciation, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to master the opening spell except for members of the Starlight Alliance.

The members of the Starlight Alliance drank the water of the River Styx, signed the Contract of the River Styx, and their souls were protected by the Grim Reaper of the Multiple Worlds, making it almost impossible to leak the news.

Shao Gongyuan's design is almost interlocking, ensuring that the Starlight Alliance has a complete grasp of the dimensional passage.

If it weren't for the coincidence, even if Richard was a time-traveler and understood the hidden content of this magic book, there was no way to take the key, because in this era, people who could master the ancient wizard script and understand the Orphalan script were already very rare.

If he hadn't been taken away by the Lich more than a decade ago, Richard wouldn't have mastered this precious knowledge.

Back then, he used wizard writing to exchange the magic inheritance of the Dawn Church, but the Olfaran script and language were not leaked to the Dawn Church. However, now that Archbishop Seine is sitting in the princess's mausoleum, he can communicate with Princess Marta with soul fluctuations, and it is estimated that these knowledge churches can also get their hands on it.

After auctioning off the magic book, Richard's good luck seemed to run out, and there was no news of the dragon's blood fruit for the next two days, until the end of this cross-border auction.

After the auction, Richard entered the Stanik palace to bid farewell to Archduke Jonathan.

Unexpectedly, Duke Jonathan saw Richard and directly put forward a request for a joint crusade against the dragon.

"Duke Richard, last time you and I joined forces to defeat the legendary dragon, although we achieved some results, there is still no way to take this black dragon, this time I decided to take action personally, it is best to kill this dragon, if you can't do it, you have to drive it away."

"Will the elite soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Starnik make a move?"

If you want to defeat the dragon, it is best to use the best soldiers.

In the last crusade against the dragon, Haaland was constrained by supplies and could not send too many troops, although some results were in vain, and the 6,000 elites of the Jonathan family were defeated by the legendary black dragon, and the crusade was defeated.

After years of cultivation, the Grand Duchy of Starnik has recovered a lot, and seeing that his sons have suffered losses, Grand Duke Jonathan finally freed his hands and once again organized a dragon slaying team, ready to attack the legendary black dragon.

Hearing Richard's question, Duke Jonathan nodded and said, "I will transfer two Warcraft brigades from Starik, with a total of about 1,200 Warcraft cavalry. In addition, the palace guard brigade will also go into battle, with a total strength of nearly 2,000 men, and the Duke of Jonathan will also draw 3,000 veterans, plus the conscripted Starnik mage regiment, the Eastern Route Army will dispatch 6,500 men."

"Since the Grand Duke wants to solve this trouble once and for all, of course our Haaland Leader is willing to cooperate, but our food route is not smooth, and we can dispatch about three or four thousand people at most." Richard weighed it up and happily agreed to Duke Jonathan's request.

The most difficult thing to crusade against the dragon is the supply of food routes, although the dragon's lair is not too far from the advance base of both sides, only about 200 kilometers, but it is 200 kilometers away from the primeval jungle to fight and maintain

The grain road is very hard.

In recent decades, Dukedom Jonathan has been building roads to sustain an army of six thousand to defeat the legendary Black Dragon.

Although the Harland Leader also built a walled city near the kobold cave and hoarded food, he could sustain one or two thousand men to fight at most. Even with the addition of space props such as the Starlight Bottle and the Legendary Space Bag, it can only maintain the food channel of 4,000 people.

If the armies of the East and West work well together, they can indeed defeat the legendary dragon.

The reason why Richard happily agreed to Duke Jonathan was that in addition to wanting to remove the threat of the legendary black dragon, he also wanted to pick dragon blood fruits near the dragon's lair.

The high-level dragon blood fruit was related to the future of Sophia's advanced legend, and Richard didn't want her to wait too long.
