Because it is an imperial residence, you don’t have to worry about being disturbed. The maids will bring you delicious food every day, so you can live a leisurely life.
Occasionally, Shenfu Yuzi would come over to read a book when he was free, and the two would chat about some matters related to spiritual practice. Su Lun could also have someone to ask questions when he encountered some questions that he didn't understand.
Su Lun knew that the higher up the library, the higher the value of reading the classics, so he read them all the way down from the third floor, the second floor, and the first floor.
Super high brain development and multi-tasking ability can greatly improve the ability of learning and memory. There are also two cursed objects [Seria's Blessing] and [Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript], which also assist learning.
The little artifact...
Su Lun reads books very quickly and efficiently.
If he had enough time, he would probably be willing to stay in this library for several months.
But the day of the "Black Sun Festival" was coming, and he always felt that something unexpected would happen, so he cherished these leisurely days even more.
One glance can lead to hundreds of lines, and one can read several books at a time.
Su Lun already has a solid reserve of knowledge, and many books can be understood almost at a glance.
Even for the skills that required understanding and comprehension, he could understand them if he could. If he couldn't, he didn't spend too much time trying to force them. He just kept them in his mind and digested them slowly when he had time later.
What's more, Miko, the royal princess, also gave him many transcripts.
Some looked at it, and some took it.
Su Lun also felt that this friend could get along with him.
When something happens, she can really help
This day.
This is Su Lun's eighth day in the library.
Tomorrow is the "Black Sun Festival",
He wanted to scan through the classics he was interested in as quickly as possible.
At this moment, the first floor of the library is like a silk cave, with crystalline threads everywhere.
Classic books were hung on the silk threads, and the sound of "rustling" pages of books could be heard in the air. Those hanging classics seemed to have invisible hands constantly flipping through them.
Many of the classics on the first floor were folk literature stories. Su Lun looked at them roughly and almost glanced at them. But those that could be collected by the royal family were naturally the masterpieces accumulated by Shan Yin for countless years, and he did not let them go.
After all, Su Lun also found some small pleasures in reading books these days.
He discovered some little secrets from these books that perhaps even the librarians didn't know.
For example: some "word puzzles" hidden in the original manuscripts were solved to be some kind of "forbidden magic", or some erased "historical facts", "heterodox magic". There are even some secrets from Miko's mouth
Said "indescribable content".
Su Lun finally understood why alchemists like to use various encryption methods to hide their research results.
In addition to keeping secrets from outsiders, it is also a way to deceive "high-level beings" who do not want lower-level beings to master the secrets of higher-level laws.
Usually, the value of taboo content is very high
At this moment, Su Lun untied the eight-armed spider spear and was immersed in his busy work.
There were seven or eight books placed in front of him, and he flipped through them from time to time.
His eyes scanned the words line by line, while Spider Spear was multitasking and busy with other things.
There is an alloy operating table in the room, and Su Lun is performing a precision surgery on himself.
He cut open the flesh and was carving some mysterious runes on the radius bone of his left arm.
The flesh and blood of the arm were turned out, and the white bones were exposed to the air. There was no abnormal color on Su Lun's face.
Because he has enough understanding of human anatomy, he knows the direction of every blood vessel and nerve, so everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Thanks to the Spider Spear Clothes, he was able to complete such complex operations and engravings on his own.
[Rune Body] This secret method requires one's own body to be refined as a curse. Su Lun has already drawn the runes on the skin. Now he needs to draw the runes on the bones, blood vessels, and some necessary fascia and soft tissue mountains.
Runes. Then these runes with various functions are connected to form a sophisticated and complex rune system, which can exert some incredible functions.
This refining process is very difficult and requires high attainments in runes and some specific secret techniques.
It just so happens that Su Lun has it now.
With these, other risks can be completely ignored.
Su Lun has absolute calmness and multi-tasking thinking ability, and the surgical process will be engraved without any subjective mistakes.
However, this process is a bit boring and not rushed at all.
Reading a book is a good way to kill time.
Su Lun finished the ulna, then the radius, then sutured the incision, and then started to work on the humerus of the upper arm.
If there were outsiders here, they would probably be frightened by his crazy behavior.
Su Lun felt as calm as cutting someone else's flesh.
"X Serum" gives the body a super self-healing ability, and with some alchemical potions, once the wound is sutured, the healing is almost visible to the naked eye.
Even if there is a shortage of some rare materials, there is a royal treasure house next door. It is good to have a princess friend. There is no shortage at all.
Finally, the sun sets in the west.
Su Lun rushed to preliminarily carve the runes on the bones before the "Black Sun Festival" tomorrow.
He put away the surgical instruments and moved his hands and feet.
Infused with dark spiritual power, his body was covered with a dark golden luster, and his skin was covered with dense mysterious lines.
"The basic structure of [Rune King Kong] has been set up, and now the physical defense capability has been greatly improved. This strength should be able to support the fourth level of hormonal rampage. It may be able to break through the fifth level in a short time. After comprehending the advanced rune language, it can still
There is a big ceiling for growth."
Su Lun raised his eyebrows and seemed quite satisfied with his results.
After the puppet master's own life-saving ability increases, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
He estimated that if he met the "Ghost Hand" Ueno Sasaki, one of the original Koga Sannin, he would probably not be as dangerous as before.
Even if you fight head-on, you can still kill someone with some degree of certainty.
But as if he thought of something, he muttered again: "However, the shortcomings of dark spiritual power are a big problem. [Rune King Kong] is very strong, but such complex runes require more energy.
Moreover, the energy consumption due to the rampant hormones will also increase exponentially. If I want to be in full state now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to last three minutes.”
[Rune King Kong] + Hormone Rampage = Three Minutes of Real Manhood.
If you encounter continuous fighting, it will be a big problem.
However, this problem is also temporary.
Su Lun also has an epic level alchemy equipment sealed on his chest, which is his greatest confidence in taking this professional advancement route.
He was looking forward to it in his heart: "After advancing to the fifth level, and incorporating [Isaac's Alchemical Heart], there will be no shortage of mana, and you will be able to use the two secret techniques without restrictions, and the control range of the puppet theater will also be
Can be infinitely exaggerated”
It can be said that once he advances to the fifth level, his combat power will be exaggerated and unbelievable.
But with this thought, Su Lun's thoughts started to wander, and he thought: "That's not right, the physical body has a limit to what it can endure. Even with unlimited mana, the physical body can at most hold on for a little longer against an over-level professional.
It will also collapse, and the rampage of hormones will cause irreversible injuries to the body, and even death. If you want it to last longer, you will need to increase the physical strength. The current physical body can barely support the sixth level runes. Is it possible that after the fifth level?
When choosing advanced professions and equipment, should we consider increasing our physical strength?"
As soon as this thought begins, it becomes an infinite nest of dolls.
A stronger body can support stronger runes, and a body with stronger runes can have stronger combat power.
Su Lun's expression showed deep thought, and he vaguely had some reference directions for his future career advancement.
My thoughts are still spinning,
However, at this time,
Sudden,
His eyes flashed!
"Huh"
Su Lun looked at a newly pulled book from the bookshelf in front of him, and a light flashed in his left eye.
He has the eye of omniscience, so he can see the specialness of this manuscript at a glance.
This magical book called "The Knife of the Chrysanthemum" actually reveals a very clever alchemical encryption method between the lines!
"Hormones special encryption method? A very advanced encryption method."
After flipping through a few pages, Su Lun's omniscient eye automatically identified the ordering rules between the words.
This is an encryption method named after the great alchemist "Van Hormote" during the Dawn Era. It is usually used to encrypt very advanced alchemical secrets.
This is already an area studied by "master-level" alchemists.
Su Lun recognized this and became even more curious.
What kind of content would receive this kind of encryption?
Was this written by an alchemist?
But why is it in Shanyin's library?
Su Lun automatically found the corresponding decryption method in his mind.
The original text in front of me has turned into something else.
"When you unlock the secret I hid in this book, congratulations to you, a thoughtful and destined person. There are some little surprises hidden in the book."
When Su Lun saw this sentence, the image of an alchemist who liked "treasure games" and even had a little "little pranks" appeared on the paper.
Moreover, a guess suddenly came to mind.
However, when he saw the next sentence, he was immediately shocked.
"My name is Carl Gustav Jung. Oh, no one may know this name. You may have heard of my other pen name, which is 'Fujiwara Hayato'"
"It's really him!"
Su Lun looked at this self-introduction and immediately realized that this was definitely not someone else pretending to be someone else.
The author of this book is Hayato Fujiwara himself!
Because, this way it is impossible for others to pretend to be.
Being able to use cryptography to hide secrets is not very powerful. As long as an alchemist with a little knowledge base can do it.
But to encrypt these secrets and hide them in a book that already has high literary value is the most incredible thing.
Therefore, when Su Lun discovered "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife", he knew that the author of this book was not only an alchemist, but also had very high attainments in literature!
There are definitely not many such people.
What a coincidence, Su Lun heard about one recently!
When he saw that name, he couldn't wait to read the next content.
"Originally, I wanted to follow that guy Bellamy to explore unknown routes, but I found something that made me more interesting, so I stayed in Shanyin. This can be considered part of my travel diary, but the place I went to was a bit...
special"
This opening chapter did not disappoint Su Lun.
In the circle of big shots, 80% of them are big shots.
When Su Lun saw the words "exploring unknown routes" and "Bellamy", he immediately thought of a person.
Thirty years ago, Sam Bellamy was the legendary pirate king recognized throughout the world!
"Fujiwara Hayato actually knows the Pirate King?"
Su Lun suddenly felt like he had uncovered an unknown legendary history.
A simple line of words, as if I saw two legends who were at the top of that era talking and laughing.
Su Lun read on with strong expectation.
"Because I went to a very special place, and I want to express this experience in words. This creative process is difficult, after all, those existences are indescribable. Creating this story may exhaust my energy
Life span, I don’t know if I will be able to complete it at the end of my life span. But anyway, I plan to try.”
A very special place.
He is indeed a great writer, and he manages the suspense just right.
Su Lun continued to read.
"If there are no real stories, you can never write a soulful story. This is also the most important reason why I became an adventurer and navigator. And when I came to Shanyin, I discovered a lot of interesting stories."
"You must be curious about where I went, right? Hehe, no one may believe it, but I went to the 'Land of Underworld'."
"Yes! The real 'Land of Underworld'."
Seeing this, Su Lun suddenly frowned.
He suddenly felt as if he was reading a book about ghosts and ghosts again?
After all, Fujiwara Hayato has written many similar books, and he has read many of them.
But Su Lun felt that it was not that simple.
If it's just one story, there's no need to go to great lengths to hide it in another story.
"I came back alive from the Land of the Underworld, but my soul was polluted by death. I plan to go to Sensoji Temple. The monks there are good at using Buddhism to suppress necromancy. This should allow me to write more about my experiences in the world."
"Oh, this is an unforgettable adventure. No one will believe that I have come back from the land of hell where no living person has ever come back!"
"As for what I saw, I plan to write it in another story. In this book, I want to leave the details of how I went and how I came back to future generations. If you are lucky enough to be an adventurer, then, you
You must be curious about that mythical place, right? If you really have the opportunity to step into myths and legends, who would refuse that kind of temptation? Haha."
"It all started when I traveled to Shanyin and found two 'ghost train tickets' used to save the dead."
「」
When Su Lun saw it, she really didn't know how to describe her feelings.
That Fujiwara Hayato discovered a way to go to the Land of Underworld, and after that, he actually tried it!
Damn it, is this the courage of an adventurer?
Su Lun's rationality made him resist the kind of "curiosity" that could kill people.
No, you don't want to go!
He will die!
Fujiwara Hayato was definitely a great alchemist, and he died because of it. Su Lun didn't want to take risks just to satisfy his curiosity.
But he had to admit that after reading the words in the text, some kind of eager thoughts sprouted in his heart.
As the great writer said, if there is an opportunity to step into a myth, who wouldn’t want to take a peek?
This "Chrysanthemum Sword" is not long, only dozens of pages thin, Su Lun quickly turned to the end.
The words are vivid and vivid, and a truly great adventurer appears vividly in his eyes.
That rascal
It is precisely because of these pioneer adventurers that so many splendid legendary stories have been left in the world.
In the last paragraph of the book, I wrote this sentence.
"Oh, by the way. That guy Bellamy had a premonition that he might encounter an accident during his voyage, so he left three gold coins. One of them was placed here with me. I left it in this book
In the book, if you are interested in that guy’s sailing adventure, it’s probably another story. Oh, it’s very interesting to think about it. Treasure story? It turns out that, unknowingly, we seem to have become the ones being
In my eyes, I created the protagonist in a legendary story."
Su Lun watched as his eyelids twitched.
On the last page, I used a calligraphy brush to draw a simple drawing of an ancient gold coin with a head and a train ticket.
When he finished reading, these two patterns suddenly glowed.
Su Lun felt the fluctuations in space, stretched out his hand, and a gold coin and a green train ticket appeared in his hand.
[Black Sam’s Cursed Gold Coin]
Detailed explanation: Legend has it that you can find the sunken treasure of pirate king Sam Bellamy by collecting three gold coins; some incomplete cipher information is engraved on the gold coins;
"Sure enough, it's the pirate king."
Su Lun saw the properties of the identified gold coins and confirmed his thoughts.
Then Bellamy is the pirate king who disappeared thirty years ago.
Birds of a feather flock together.
The circle of friends of a legendary figure is indeed a legend!
Su Lun originally had a gold coin in his hand.
There are two now.
He didn't expect to find such a harvest after looking through the library of the divine service royal family.
Then looking at the train ticket in his hand, Su Lun's expression became even weirder.
[Ticket for the ghost train]
Detailed explanation: Buy a ticket and get on the train. It will take you to the Kingdom of Underworld. There is some kind of undead certificate on the ticket. Train? No, it’s not what you think. This is an ancient monster that has existed longer than you can imagine.
.
Su Lun read the story in the book and remained silent for a long time.
He knew that Fujiwara Hayato really took this "train ticket" to hitchhike to the Land of Underworld.
After a long while, Su Lun let out a long sigh and couldn't help but sigh: "That guy is really crazy."
However, it really makes people admire me from the bottom of my heart.
Su Lun collected the train tickets and gold coins. The content of the book had been deciphered, and it didn't matter whether he kept it or not.
He did it all over again.
There is a sentence written on the title page: "If the world is a cage, then love is the key to open the cage."
Su Lun had heard this sentence before, from Grandma Katyusha's mouth.
After reading it, Su Lun seemed to have let go of a heavy piece of history.
He put "The Knife of the Chrysanthemum" back on the bookshelf, thinking that maybe one day in the future, another person would discover the secrets in the story and perhaps see the legendary life of this great writer, Hayato Fujiwara.
It would also be extremely shocking.
As for the "Land of Underworld", although Su Lun was very curious, he had no intention of going there.
He thought that if there was no one with eighth or ninth level strength, he would still be GG.
That Fujiwara Hayato came back alive, apart from his strength and adventure experience, luck really played a big part.
It is naturally impossible to take risks.
Instead, another thing made Su Lun even more curious.
This "Chrysanthemum Sword" was written before going to Sensoji Temple. In other words, Fujiwara Hayato was really creating at the last moment of his life.
Did he write down his experience of going to the Land of Underworld in the story?
If it were really written, what kind of masterpiece would it be?
Su Lun was looking forward to that story.
He had previously thought that going to Sensoji Temple would be fruitless. After all, Fujiwara Hayato is so famous. Over the years, countless people have wanted to find his manuscripts, and the threshold of Sensoji Temple has probably been broken.
But now that he saw this book "Kiku no Knife", he felt that it was really possible.
Maybe hidden somewhere?
Even if it’s a scrap, you shouldn’t love leaving nothing behind.
While Su Lun was still thinking, noises were heard in the garden outside the imperial palace.
It sounded like a lot of people came in.
This was unusual in the quiet and peaceful imperial palace.
Su Lun sensed the powerful and familiar soul fire, frowned, and murmured: "The "Gluttonous General" Ixir Paion is here? Are those pirates finally unable to bear it and forcing the palace?"
It was no surprise. He had previously felt that the "Black Sun Festival" was a big obstacle for the royal family to serve as gods. People who wanted to add insult to injury had the best opportunity to attack before then, not after.
