"...It really deserves to be a country of mages. It's even more outrageous than before."
It was an ocean of books. Countless bookshelves were filled with endless old books. Each one was a priceless magic book, and the secrets and knowledge sealed in it were enough to make the world go crazy.
After obtaining the status of a lecturer in the Kingdom of Mage, he also gained access to this library. In this world, books are the most precious wealth, and reading is also a quite luxurious enjoyment. At that time, just for the books of Tassel Kingdom
Reading passes cost us a lot of effort.
But in this regard, the country of wizards is much more grand. Even with Kaid's recommendation, being able to consult these precious ancient books also proves the foundation of the country of wizards from one aspect-burning and spreading magic.
Knowledge requires all mysteries and truths in the world.
"Truth Controller", the honorary title that represents the highest authority in the land of mages, has said it all. The goal of mages is always to obtain more knowledge and truth, and the highest rank only represents occupying a higher position in the endless sea of knowledge.
Just the location.
Of course, this is an ideal mage. In reality, there are many who are deceived by the colorful temptations. After all, it is too easy to exchange the power you have gained for worldly power and money, and some mages
They have come here for power and position from the beginning. When they practice to a certain level, they will naturally leave.
But at this time, I had no time to sigh and had already devoted most of my time to studying these magic books.
But these books are much more than expected, and many of them are covered with a thick layer of dust. It seems that no one has opened them for a long time. The books are obviously lacking in management. It is particularly difficult to find them. I'm afraid,
It cannot be completed successfully.
The uninvited "guests" at this time further slowed down my work progress.
"It's a pity. Aston/Fimir/Aibot can obviously take a step forward."
When old classmates meet, they will inevitably talk about their past classmates' whereabouts, but every time they end with this sentence pattern, lamenting the death of an old classmate. It is inevitable that people will feel sad and regretful.
For high-level spellcasters, extending life is indeed not a problem. Transforming into artificial life, semi-elemental creatures, divine envoys, etc. is possible. Even if you are unlucky, transforming into an undead spirit such as a lich is also an option.
.
Of course, the premise is that the strength is strong enough, and those who are destined to be unable to achieve immortality will not be considered from the beginning.
What makes me sigh and even pity is that those beings who should have achieved immortality always fall for inexplicable reasons.
"Some time ago, an investigative academic magazine conducted a survey and statistics. Regarding the causes of death of high-level mages, it is shocking. Among them, the top cause of death is death in battle, accounting for at least 71%, and the second highest cause is death from old age.
Normal deaths such as illness and death are only
11%, and then there are accidental (experimental) deaths and the like. Most genius mages were involved in disputes due to interest disputes, or wars, or personal grudges. In the end, they lost their lives. Many
Dreams and pursuits have all come to nothing."
Kayed was a little regretful and a little lucky for those fallen geniuses. Obviously his talent was below average in the same period, but because he didn't like competition, he always studied his own subjects behind closed doors, but instead he was unknowingly doing it.
He reached the highest peak while sleeping.
Geniuses who fight end up with nothing, while mediocre people who don't fight are self-aware and live their lives shrinking, but they still have everything through wasting. In a sense, this is undoubtedly not a wonderful irony.
For most mages who give up while searching for the path, what prevents them from reaching the top is never their own shortcomings, but the temptations and troubles from the outside world.
"By the way, are you really not mocking me?"
The meaning of these words seemed to be more and more familiar. I seemed to have failed several times, and I kept throwing myself into the world for certain events, but when I heard this, Kayid smiled.
"What kind of genius are you? Except for getting full marks in elective courses like Mage Self-Defense, all the geniuses are hovering around the passing line? You have retaken basic courses like Elemental Concepts four times. If you hadn't hooked up with several female tutors back then,
, I’m afraid I’ve been fired a long time ago.”
Hearing this, I immediately became angry. Sure enough, childhood sweethearts in reality are not cute at all, especially those of the same sex who know the dark history. They should be tied to goblin rockets and sent to the moon.
"I was very happy to have you there back then. At least the average score of our class was much lower, and I didn't have to worry about being last in the exam..."
Well, the second to last and the first to last are lamenting the passage of time and the ruthless fate, but those geniuses have all fallen, which makes the irony even stronger.
"Don't say that, you're talking about me being a soft-hearted person. Hey, hey, hey, look at me with such surprised eyes. Be careful that I fall out with you."
"You don't realize it? 'Roland, whose only face can be seen' and 'the Paladin who fell into the wrong profession' was very famous back then. You don't know how many times you have hooked up with Teacher Heloise and Teacher Amyra successively?"
People buy your portrait and crucify your straw man."
"You know very well..."
He clenched his fists, which was a clear warning, but this guy was still unconscious.
"Of course, this was my main source of living expenses back then, and there are many ways to do it. It's not enough to just draw a likeness. You have to be similar, but you also have to make people angry, and draw a sinister smile on the pretty face, so
Customers are the ones who are satisfied with their orders. Especially after the news of you abandoning Amyla spread, business was so good that on that day, I received a month's orders and raised enough tuition for a year. So, even if you give
It’s not a problem at all for me to extort a few gold coins..."
Looking at the old man in front of me who was usually serious but would talk endlessly when the topic was opened, I couldn't hold it in any longer and punched him hard.
"clang!"
This time, my hand hurt, and the guy's face actually shone with a metallic sheen.
"Stoneskin? No, steel skin?"
Although I didn't feel the slightest spell fluctuation, it had turned into a steel-like hard skin. A spell I had never seen before.
"Haha. This is a spell I created myself. But the idea is based on the legendary story you told me before, 'Dalin Nunnery and the Eighteen King Kong Old Lady'. I also used the name 'Golden Bell' from one of them! It can be metalized.
Bones make me as indestructible as the invincible old lady and Wolverine's lady in that story, how awesome is that?"
Okay, I don’t even know where to start talking about the magical golden bell for protection from other worlds. Should I start with the old lady King Kong, or the nunnery. Or simply start with the old lady Wolverine.
But at this time, I also realized that although Kayid was still an irregular person at this time, he was at least a veritable master of medicine.
And just as water magic is divided into ice magic, the close relative of earth magic is undoubtedly metal magic, which is known for its excellent defense capabilities. However, unlike ice magic, which can only focus on the theme, the steel element and the earth element have different Inextricably linked, if you don't practice earth element magic to a certain level, you won't even be qualified to practice metal magic. Being able to maintain metallic magic at a normal level is definitely a unique skill.
This undoubtedly allowed me to learn about Kayid's current strength from one aspect. But it also gave me new ideas.
"Kaid, come here and help me. You should be familiar with these earth magics."
Since Carol City is dominated by earth mages, the records here naturally focus on various types of earth magic, earth creatures, and magic equipment. I will check the information here, and it cannot be to practice earth magic.
Although stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, there is no harm in looking at more, but with my magical talent, it would probably take at least several decades to practice elemental magic from scratch, and I don't have the time.
"Omdiroken is the top of the earth element, and earth element magic is inextricably related to him. I don't think he only has the strength of the main plane. What history does he have in the past, what weaknesses do he have, and maybe What special skills, what elemental magic are you good at, what hidden trump cards do you have? We must find out before the battle begins!"
Hearing this, Kayid showed a smile that sounded like "I knew you had this trick a long time ago."
"...If someone provokes a dispute, it seems that they don't care at all, but in fact they will investigate the eighteenth generation of the other party's ancestors overnight. You are still exactly the same as before."
While continuing to spit out the dark history that made people want to beat him, Kayid slapped his hand.
"Bah bang bang!"
All the magic lamps in the entire hall were lit, all the doors were opened, and a large number of young mages poured in and started to get busy. The magician's summons had already arranged the search task in advance.
In the bookshelf room, someone is already busy.
"Group A, let's start with the historical search to see if there is any record of Omdiroken's attack."
"Our team B just wants to check out the earth element lords and elemental gods of the same kind. Their abilities should be used as a reference."
"Group C, I want to start with the high-level earth element magic. Maybe there is an ability similar to Omdiroken. The focus is on the forbidden spells that humans cannot use. By the way, there are also the forbidden spells of the Elf Kingdom."
The students took active action, and Kayid also rarely spoke seriously.
"At this time, don't face it alone like in the past. Besides, this is also our battle, so let's just relax with our companions."
This is the most serious look on Kayid's face since they met.
"Um."
Inexplicably moved, I took out a book and lowered my head to read.
"...What is this!"
Under the cover of the hardcover book with "Steel Element Construction Model" on the cover, there is actually a collection of paintings of a young girl without clothes...
"..." The master who silently snatched the book and hid it under his robe has undoubtedly explained everything.
"Those books in the library that have not been borrowed for several years serve as outer shells and contain their own personal treasures inside. Even this has not changed."
Looking around, many students are sneaking towards a certain bookshelf. It seems that there are quite a few doing this.
"Ah, it's so strange, I actually found a h..."
Before the newcomer could shout out, someone else covered his mouth and pulled him down. Some things were already known to everyone, but after all, there was a mentor here, so it would not be a good thing if word spread.
As for the "treasure" he discovered, it disappeared without a trace in an instant. It seemed that it had been stolen by someone.
Judging from the scale of the students' actions, in this city where the yin and yang are obviously prosperous and the yang is declining, some industries are still very underdeveloped, but some industries are obviously very profitable. For example, the emblem of the Goblin Publishing House on the album of paintings is undoubtedly
Explain the origin of these books.
The transfer of students is organized by the official organization of the Kingdom of Mage, and there are restrictions on luggage and so on. However, the goblin's Space Ripper level has much more freedom. Even if only one of ten books can be transferred, as long as that one is sold.
The price of ten copies will naturally not be a loss, and based on my understanding of the goblins, they will probably ask for the price of a thousand copies.
"Haha, it's exactly the same as before. Why, I'm still collecting these kinds of books."
This time, it's my turn to make fun of this old guy.
"They were given by the goblins, they were given by the goblins, and I don't know what they were doing for me, so I just left them here..."
It's really rare for this restless old man to blush, but if what he said is true, I'm afraid I have to re-estimate the capabilities of these goblins. At least, this bribery ability is indeed outrageous.
"...At least let the goblins bleed for a while before leaving. They have made too much money recently, and it's time to spit something out."
Okay, let's ignore the mysterious voice in the corner.
"Well, you won't laugh at me, right?"
"No, no, I can totally understand."
"How can you understand that you, a young adult, were so popular at the time and so young now? How many girlfriends do you have now and how many beauties do you have close contact with...ahhhhh,
Don’t tell me that you are the winner in life!”
I moved my lips, but the last answer never came out.
"Actually, I'm just like you. I've also been a bachelor for more than three hundred years. Intimate contact with beautiful women... does it count to have my body cut open and my heart dug out?"
----------
"You can't be too ungrateful."
When countless combat forces finally came together in unison, my casual words spread everywhere. In a sense, these words were not wrong.
When all the forces came together, even our own side was surprised by the strength of our combat power. Another trouble was the confusion of the command system, completely different weapons, equipment, and supplies. There were also grudges between many organizations.
Nothing can be sorted out.
"Can't unite the command? It doesn't matter. If you pass all the a's, it's over. Don't you understand? Well, each one can fight on his own and express himself freely."
It is already a temporary team, and the leaders of all parties are basically dissatisfied with their colleagues. If they ask for unified command, there will probably be no good results.
On the contrary, if each fights independently and takes care of its own side, it will be easier to achieve good results.
At this moment, I was busy punching someone in the head with my fists.
"Renee, you really dare to do it!" (To be continued...)
ps: So what, the last day for double monthly tickets, there are too few tickets, please try to count the votes.
Well, since I'm asking for votes, I'll try to get double updates tomorrow...
