The midday sun shines through the glass into Riolan's family library. It is a spacious room decorated with marble. The ceiling is six stories high and decorated with huge magic crystal chandeliers, which are placed on three sides of the wall.

There are towering bookshelves, and folding and spiral wooden stairs wind up along the bookshelves. Standing at the top of the stairs, you can touch the roof with your hands. 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 with magic patterns can effectively resist the attacks of low-level magic, and has fire prevention, dehumidification and other functions. The value of this glass wall is enough to buy a prosperous

A small town, and here it is just a protective and beautiful facility for the Magic Family Library...

Heras was looking through the books he wanted on the stairs of a bookshelf. He had been looking for information about his promotion here since he got up early in the morning. After putting his mental power into the space ring and taking out some dry food for lunch, Heras

Si began to scan the classified books into his quantum brain one by one.

General space equipment does not require mental power to use, and there is no mechanism to identify the owner. It only relies on the energy attached to the equipment itself.

However, the internal space of the Heras space ring is too large. The inscribed magic circle and magic gemstones attached to the ring are only enough to maintain the stability of the internal space, and there is no excess energy to open the ring. Therefore, it requires the consumption of mental power to replenish it when using it.

.

The Riolan family has an extremely rich collection of books. The Universal Divine Blood Activation Method was found here by Tahira, but she has no chance to return it. Now the book has been digested by Heras.

He is looking for those promotion materials that were 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. As for the subsequent processing of the inscription, it is very rough and often occurs.

The engraved spell configuration disappears inexplicably. If you find that the spell configuration suddenly disappears when you are about to activate it, this will undoubtedly be a tragedy for an electric and flint battle.

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 takes the initiative to remove it from the soul.

Eliminate in the middle.

Herath can instantly form a spell configuration, without giving the bloodline power any chance to interfere with the structure. The only problem that needs to be solved now is how to engrave it on the soul faster than the speed at which the bloodline power disintegrates. In fact, even in ancient times

The promotion method does not have such a fast engraving speed. He just wants to find a way to solve the problem.

After reading the information about ancient promotion, Heras sighed. Since those methods have been eliminated for too long, the existing records are fragments. There are no samples of the magic circle, let alone them.

The basic theories. The abandoned knowledge has long since disappeared into the dust of history.

Heras walked along the stairs to the top row of bookshelves. On them were the last books on the history of magic. Still unable to find any clues, he had to think of another way. He flipped through a few books at random, and found a shabby old book that had fallen apart.

The book caught his attention. On the cover it read: Interesting Facts about the Ancient Mages of Alenia.

If you look through this book carefully, it mainly describes the ancient magical kingdom of Alanya. The magicians in this kingdom often made jokes in their interactions with other magicians because they could not accept new methods of magic promotion.

At the end of the book, the author concludes that some of the magical materials special to Alanya were necessary for the ancient promotion circle, but are not needed at all in the new promotion coordination circle. Therefore, Alanya is very vulnerable when facing the collapse of its economic pillar.

He lost his composure, tried his best to save the situation, and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to improve the ancient promotion circle. However, before any results could be obtained from the research, the entire country went bankrupt due to the economic crisis...

The kingdom perished in such a ridiculous way, and Alenia became a big joke in history and a typical negative example of stubbornness.

"There is still no information on ancient promotion formations...but there is a clue. Since Alania has devoted its whole country to researching ancient promotion methods, they should have left many research relics...

.." Heras continued to flip through some books at the back, but found nothing. Then he flew directly to another staircase and began to look through the geographical maps of Anfalon, trying to find out where ancient Alenia was.

.

He found relevant records in a nautical chart. The current Karulan Islands were the location of Alanya in ancient times. Due to continental changes, the altitude of that place gradually dropped below the sea level. After the Kajilon Mountains sank,

The seawater began to pour into the Alenian plain, and the sea people took the opportunity to occupy that place. As the boundary continent between various sea people and mainland races, the Karulan Islands are a paradise for smuggling and crime, and also a gold mine for wealth.

land.

"It's really far..." There is no long-distance teleportation array between the sea tribe and humans. Teleportation alone cannot cross the vast sea. To go to Karulan, he must take the train from the east coast of the Principality of Bolati.

The ship set off. The trouble was that the Odin Empire and the Quicksand Empire in the east were at war. The two countries had cut off all transmission facilities from each other. He could not even teleport to the Bolati Principality southeast of Odin.

"It seems that we can only go to the Pancontinental Commercial Community in the south of the Quicksand Empire first, and teleport from the Magic Council there to the Principality of Bolati. And that is the headquarters of smugglers. Maybe there is a way to go directly to Karulan."

Heras was preparing to leave tomorrow morning. Before that, he had to prepare the corresponding information and supplies, and he also had to attend the general's dinner party. Because the general couldn't stand the Salamus family's family banquet, he had never lived in a family manor in the suburbs. He

You need to prepare a lot before entering the capital city...

Night fell quickly, and a figure elongated in the night walked out of the door of General Salamus's cold mansion. He was wearing a dust-proof windbreaker popular in the empire, as well as a pair of gold-rimmed monocles and a gold glasses chain.

It swayed gracefully in the air. The general's servant quickly welcomed him in.

General Salamus looked at the new image of Heras in front of him. His hair had been dyed a deep black by magic potion, and his blood-pool-like pupils were also covered by a layer of black fake eye mask.

"You can no longer see the features of the Bloody King. He looks like the young businessmen of the empire. That eye mask is very good. Did Gude give it to you?" the general said while eating.

It was said to be a dinner party. When Heras arrived, he found that he and the general were the only two people at the table. "Just in case, the news that I have activated the resurrection body is spreading among the aristocratic circles in the imperial capital." He bit lightly.

A bite of bloody steak made him feel a little uncomfortable. When he was in the Federation, he would never eat anything with blood.

"That's right. I feel more at ease with you now. Your bloodline ability will drive the women of the Salamus family crazy. If some of them with powerful power recognize you, it will definitely not end well." General.

He warned lightly. "Especially my legendary Grand Duchess who I don't know how to call. If you appear in front of her, prepare to spend the rest of your life in bed."

Heras shuddered: "I knew..."

Towards the end of the depressing dinner, the general suddenly asked: "I executed Yara, do you hate me? Dillian hated me until she died."

He didn't know how to answer, it was due to the deep dependence and admiration in this body's memory. He was very affectionate towards Yara. In the past, most of the twisted character of Master Heras was due to his father.

A young nobleman even vowed in his heart to take revenge on the Quicksand Empire.

But now Heras has no ill feelings toward General Salamus. After all, his real relatives are in the Federation...

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

Heras was horrified, and the inertial thinking brought by the Federation blinded him. The blood knight can control his emotions very well, and no matter how sad and angry he is, he will not die...

Then the general stood up and signaled Heras to follow him. He followed the general to an underground secret room in the backyard with doubts. The general clapped his hands, and four men in black robes walked in. Then the general took out a pan

He handed them a scroll with dim fluorescent light and ordered: "Activate it and use your lives!"

The four mysterious men, all covered in black robes, paid a military salute and held the scroll together. Soon Heras saw blood overflowing from their bodies, and then they started to burn violently.

"These four people are at least high-level mages... That scroll is legendary magic!?" Heras was shocked and thought, what does the general want to do? He actually wants to sacrifice four powerful and loyal subordinates. With the four high-level

The mage turned into ashes, and a faint golden light lit up in the secret room, and then the light disappeared.

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

"Robus's Isolation Curtain, it cost me most of my wealth to get this scroll." The general explained calmly, as if he didn't see his subordinates turn to ashes.

"Monitor" Robles is a strong man who specializes in special fields. His friends privately call him a peeping tom. When Robles served as the plane observation ambassador in the Pillar of the Void, he once used his signature legendary spell.

——Robles' prism eyes have spied on the kingdoms of some gods, and he has seen all the top leaders of the Pillar of the Void. He was removed from his post not long after taking office, and since then he has been wandering around the planes unfettered.

Until it disappeared thousands of years ago.

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

As a voyeur, Robles naturally has powerful anti-surveillance methods. The isolation curtain he created can even temporarily isolate the sight of the gods in the highest plane.

This scroll was very rare thousands of years ago. If one fell into the hands of the general, you can imagine the price he paid.

After the light disappeared, the general took out a ring from his pocket. The first thing Heras thought when he saw it was the rusty screw cap. The gray-brown mottled shell made the whole ring as inconspicuous as a tattered ring.

"The Ring of Isolation, this is a legendary space ring... but the space inside is only as big as two books. The curtain of isolation is permanently solidified in its space." The general said in amazement. He put the ring in his palm.

Let Heras see it more clearly.

"It is a relic of your father. It is the proud work of Watcher Robles. I don't know how your father got it." The general put the ring in Heras's hand. "Open it and take a look?"

Heras took the ring and put his spiritual power into it, but there was no response.

"Using it does not require any mental energy consumption, and it has no mechanism to identify its owner. Just bring it with you," the general explained.

Herath took it on as instructed, and then he saw a black crystal fragment lying in the narrow space inside the ring, with countless dead gray lights flashing rapidly inside.

He had never seen that kind of darkness in his two lives. It was darker than the deepest part of a black hole, and more silent than the most silent death kingdom in the underworld. But there flashed a torrent of deathly gray color that was more chaotic than the bottom of the abyss. Take a look at him

I even feel that all the blood cells in my body are starting to become active.

Heras asked in confusion: "What is this...?"

The general looked at him in surprise and asked instead: "You don't want to take it out?"

Heras was baffled as to how he could take out such an unknown object rashly.

The general stared at Heras for a while: "You are really special, Heras. The first time I saw it, a voice appeared in my mind... Pick it up...

Pick it up and you will become a god."

"You did it?" Heras asked.

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

"While holding it, I found that all the blood in my body was boiling and growing rapidly, almost giving me the illusion of becoming a god immediately. Then at the peak of expansion, it took away most of my life force. The same should be true for Dillian,

She touched it unconsciously after Yara returned."

Upon hearing these words, Heras shook his hand and was about to throw the thing far away.

"Don't worry, as long as it stays in the isolation ring, it will be fine. As soon as your eyes became confused, I was ready to stop you. But you are obviously not affected." The general calmed his panic.

"What is this..." Heras asked again in shock.

"I don't know what this is, Yara can always get some weird things, so I objected to my daughter marrying him, and in the end this thing really killed Dillian," the general replied.

, he has always been worried about this matter.

"But I know it is anything but ordinary and involves Yara's treason. Many of us died during the ambush of Yara, and in the end only me and the two archmages were alive." The general continued. "Yara died before

He used his last strength to tell me the whereabouts of this ring, asking me to wait at least two or three years before looking for it, and telling me not to take it with me."

"I didn't care at first. The anger towards Yara's treason has filled my heart. How could I believe the words of a traitor." The general said this with obvious regret. "But then the empire started a war.

The storm of purges was announced to the outside world as uprooting traitors, and many of the people who were executed were convinced that they were loyal to the empire. These people did nothing at all and had nothing to do with Yara. In the end, a few were even executed.

A member of the royal family. Your Majesty has also been implicated."

"I began to re-examine Yala's words, and waited until the storm subsided for a long time before I went to retrieve this thing." The general said this, even with a sad and mournful tone: "Herath, leave the quicksand as soon as possible.
