Gresco, known as the God of Magicians, once said something that is still regarded as a golden rule by all magicians to this day.
"Knowledge is a magician's most devout belief!"
And this sentence was also written on the cover of the Book of Eternity that Lin Li was holding at the moment.
People today cannot imagine how difficult it was for humans to learn magic and their thirst for knowledge in the dark ages.
Under the rule of the high elves, although humans are not completely prohibited from learning magic, they should not be expected to teach humans. Humans can only rely on their own exploration to find the door to magic in the fog, and record it in their own magic
In the book, knowledge is passed down from generation to generation through master-disciple inheritance, and is slowly improved during the continuation.
In that era, the standard equipment of a human magician was a staff and a magic book, and Gresco was no exception. Now, Gresco's staff remains in the Oranna Magic Guild, a powerful
Its power has protected the Oranna Magic Guild for more than a thousand years. The Book of Eternity, the magic book that records Gresco's lifelong efforts, is being gently opened in Lin Li's hands.
The pages of the Book of Eternity are made from the leaves of the Tree of Eternity, and the ink used to write on the pages is the juice extracted by Gresco from the roots of the Tree of Eternity. It once supported the entire world of Anriel.
The power contained in the leaves and sap of the Eternal Tree is absolutely unimaginable by ordinary people. So much so that the Eternal Book itself possesses almost infinite power and can definitely be called the most powerful of that era.
a magical weapon.
But as the sentence on the cover of the Book of Eternity says, the value of this book does not lie in its incomparable power, but in the knowledge recorded in it, the life experience of the mage god Gresco and his understanding of magic.
This is the truly priceless treasure for magicians. Whether it is the extremely powerful seventh sky city or the evil eye tyrant magic crystal that continuously improves mental power, the help it can bring to magicians
, are not as good as the knowledge that is truly integrated into the mind.
Until Lin Li obtained the Book of Eternity, the famous Book of Eternity had disappeared in the world of Anriel for more than a thousand years, which made many magicians always grieve. Although no one has read the Book of Eternity,
Just because the Book of Eternity is Gresco's magic book, many legendary mages assert that whoever masters the Book of Eternity will no longer have any difficulty entering the Holy Realm.
Although it was just a guess made by people who had not read the Book of Eternity, after Lin Li obtained the Book of Eternity, he knew that although those people's guesses sounded exaggerated, they were actually far from the true content.
The Book of Eternity can be said to be the most complicated magic book that Lin Li has ever seen. Before he got it in his hands, he had guessed more than once that the magic book written by Gresco had something in it.
What kind of content was recorded? And when Tutankhamun handed the Book of Eternity to him and read it for the first time, he knew the contents of Gresco's magic book.
It can be said to be all-inclusive.
Over the past thousand years, there have been various speculations about the contents of the Book of Eternity, but even the most exaggerated speculations are still less than one ten thousandth of the true content of the Book of Eternity. Only those who have read the Book of Eternity
Only then did people know that Gresco could become the God of Mage, and there was absolutely no luck in the efforts he put in.
As a magician, Lin Li's first concern is naturally magic spells. In Tutankhamen's cabin, he used the time and space beacon technique to see a battle between Gresco and Evil Eye Tyrant and other monsters.
In that battle, Lin Li saw with his own eyes that Gresco used the twenty-third-level legendary magic Stars Fall, but what shocked him even more was the Void Stars technique that only existed in legends.
In today's Anriel world, there is no magician who has even a little bit of understanding of the Void Star Technique. No one even knows the level of this magic. Even a man as knowledgeable about magic as Anduin.
, I only found a trace of the Void Star Technique from the legend, and I only knew that it was already a field that only gods could set foot in.
According to legend, a magician who has mastered the Void Star Technique can place his body and soul in the void and will no longer be harmed by any magic or sword in the world. How could Lin Li not be interested in such a powerful magic?
So he opened the Book of Eternity for the first time, looking for information about the Void Star Technique. He wanted to learn it right away. After all, even if he didn't know the true level of this magic, he could guess that it was not something that ordinary legendary mages could cast.
.
This kind of curiosity is something that almost everyone has. It does not change due to a person's level of strength. At most, it is a question of whether he can control it well. In fact, being curious is not a bad thing, for any intelligent race
, curiosity is the driving force for its development. It is precisely because of curiosity that people will explore and learn. In a certain way, learning magic is also to satisfy curiosity.
Lin Li wanted to see the Void Star Technique, and how much Gresco knew about legendary magic like the Void Star Technique. But after opening the Book of Eternity, Lin Li discovered that all the magic recorded in this magic book
There are at least 90% of these spells that he has never seen before.
Some of these spells are in ancient dragon language, some are demonic runes that Conneris said, and some are in Titan script. As for the spells written in modern languages such as High Elf and Common Language, on the contrary,
It is quite rare. From these spells, we can see Gresco's profound knowledge of magic.
You must know that at the Dark Throne of Saren Abyss, Conneris directly used his spirit to pass on a demonic rune to him, allowing him to break through the shackles that ordinary people may not be able to break through in dozens or hundreds of years, and step into the legendary realm.
Now, in the Book of Eternity, demonic runes are only part of the content. Whether it is demonic runes, ancient dragon language, or Titan inscriptions, they are all knowledge that points directly to the origin of power and the core of the rules. No wonder some people speculate that reading eternity
The book will allow people to advance to the holy realm effortlessly.
In addition to the large number of spells that Lin Li couldn't understand, the more important thing in the magic book was naturally Gresco's magic experience. Gresco left the Book of Eternity to Tutankhamun in order to use it.
The Book of Eternity creates a strong man who can turn the tide when disaster strikes. Therefore, Gresco's experience recorded in the Book of Eternity is as detailed as every magic spell, every spell, every syllable, every magic distribution, every time.
Arrangement of elements. It is no exaggeration to say that holding the Book of Eternity is as if Gresco is teaching magic himself.
However, what Lin Li saw only accounted for a small part of the thick Book of Eternity. In Lin Li's eyes, there were more blank places in the thick Book of Eternity. Of course, Lin Li was also very
Clearly, those are not the real blanks. The reason why you can't see them is just because you haven't reached the required state yet.
Although Lin Li has now reached the legendary realm, which is a realm that most people can't aspire to, the gap between him and Gresco is still extremely far. Lin Li knows that he can only wait until he reaches Grace.
In a state like Ke's, the entire content of the Book of Eternity will appear in front of him in detail.
Ever since he obtained the Book of Eternity, reading the Book of Eternity has become a compulsory subject for Lin Li every day. Although he can only see a small part of the content now, every sentence in this small part of the content is worth reading over and over again.
Taste and experience.
The room was extremely quiet. The thick Book of Eternity lay flat on the table. The pages made of leaves from the Tree of Eternity exuded a faint fragrance. Looking at the words on the pages, Lin Li silently recited each word in his heart.
Reading, carefully savoring the insights brought between the lines.
Compared with the original time, when Conneris directly used his mental power to transmit the demonic runes into Lin Li's mind, and then read them word by word, and then experienced and comprehended them by himself, the learning speed was much slower. However, through the method of mental power transmission,
, what Lin Li obtained was Conneris's understanding of the demon rune. Although he was promoted to the legendary realm through this method, this method of understanding must have limitations.
If he uses spiritual power to transmit, maybe Lin Li will become the second best to Gresco, but it is impossible to surpass Gresco. And if you are so serious and experience the taste for yourself, there will be no limit to what you can gain. Maybe
He gained very little in the short term, but in the long run, it is a process of continuous accumulation. Maybe at some point Lin Li will embark on another path, a path that Gresco may have missed, which is better than the one Gresco took.
The road needs to be a wide avenue. In the end, when Lin Li reaches the height of Gresco, he will not be another Gresco, he will even leave Gresco far behind.
In fact, this is the development process of human beings. No matter how great achievements the predecessors have, they are actually exploring the path for those who come after them, laying a solid foundation for those who come after them, so that they can avoid some detours and be able to go further than their predecessors.
Even further. This is not just true for magicians, but also for pharmacists, blacksmiths and other professions. The so-called inheritance of knowledge is like this.
Many times, when Lin Li was carefully reading the Book of Eternity, he would have the illusion that Gresco was standing in front of him, answering magic questions for himself. Whenever he encountered a difficult problem,
Looking down, there is bound to be a piece of inspiring text that will make you enlightened, and the complicated thoughts will suddenly be sorted out.
The windows were already filled with stars, and the magic lamp in the study room had automatically turned on long ago, filling the whole room with bright light. Lin Li was still reading the Book of Eternity without any distractions. He seemed to have encountered some problem and frowned slightly.
, gently spit out each syllable from his lips, chewing the deep meaning over and over again.
Suddenly, Lin Li's eyes lit up, and the soft chanting in his mouth suddenly became urgent, like a burst of rain hitting the leaves. And as the chanting stopped suddenly, his frown immediately relaxed,
A smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. With the solution of a problem, Lin Li clearly felt that his understanding of magic had deepened. He even vaguely felt that his true realm was close to the twenty-first level.
Early the next morning, Varian arrived at the castle and personally invited Lin Li and others to attend the auction.
When the carriage that Lin Li and others were riding entered the square in the center of Roland City, the square was already filled with luxury carriages of various colors. Although the styles were different, they were all arranged neatly, with a large number but not cluttered. Probably there was comparison.
You know, even though they are just means of transportation, each carriage is also decorated with extreme luxury. It is no exaggeration to say that if you dig out a gem from some carriages, it will be enough for ordinary people to feed them for a lifetime.
However, Lin Li and his carriage did not stop here. Instead, they drove directly into the courtyard behind the Elf Theater. Some carriages had already parked there, but their appearance was much plainer than the ones outside. However,
, Lin Li got off the carriage, and after looking at the carriages for a moment, he realized that these carriages were actually much more expensive than those carriages studded with gems outside.
Being able to hire an inscriptionist to draw magic patterns for a carriage is not just something you can do with a lot of money. What is important is that you have enough status and strength so that the inscriptionist will not feel that this is an insult to you. Among those carriages
, Lin Li also saw someone using an alchemy circle, and even one using a magic mechanism. The carriages in the square outside were competing for wealth, and the carriages in the courtyard were competing for status.
However, the things used on these carriages were not in Lin Li's eyes. Whether they were magic patterns or alchemy formations, they were too superficial in his opinion. The function of those magic patterns and alchemy formations was nothing more than to make the carriage more beautiful.
It would be more comfortable, less bumpy, or add some defensive features. As for the carriage using a magic mechanism, it could no longer be called a carriage, because it was obvious that there was no need to use horses to pull it. It reminded Lin Li of time travel.
It's the car in front of me, but unfortunately it looks a little worse, like a large box.
"The owner of that car is Prince Hilary of the Kingdom of Leiding. Prince Hilary's biggest hobby is to discover and restore the lost technologies of the dark ages. If President Ferre is interested, I can introduce it to you.
"Varian saw Lin Li's eyes lingering on the ugliest car for a moment, and immediately said in amusement.
Lin Li smiled and shook his head. This kind of introduction actually didn't have much significance. At most, it was just for Prince Larry to greet him for Varian's sake. He would probably forget about him as soon as he turned around.
What's the name? Besides, there's no need for it. At least for a long time, I won't have to deal with the Leiding royal family.
Well, even if we really have to deal with each other, there are two big names like Enroth and Senderos. If necessary, we can actually let them bring Prince Larry to get to know him...
