When the black swallow appeared and disappeared, Zhou Qingfeng was stunned and asked: "What is this? How can the people of Imaskar learn ancient evil texts?"
"What if the Imaskans are the ancient Shang Dynasty people who created the oracle bones?" Sophia also asked, "Master, you don't seem to know your ancestors very well.
According to the classics I read, merchant rulers were quite cruel and liked sacrifices, especially human sacrifices. They would kill prisoners, slaves, and even nobles as sacrifices.
The true form of the evil insect Kaivos is the ancient priest of the world of Faerûn.
I would not be surprised at all if the Imaskars who came to Faerûn opened the dimensional barrier and befriended Caiworth who stayed in the abyss.
After all, Master, you also know an Abyss Succubus."
Zhou Qingfeng was confused again, "What does this have to do with me looking for reporters in the real world?"
Sophia sighed helplessly, "I have searched through the records in the Gate of True Knowledge, and there is no second-level prophecy arcana that can find a specific target among millions of people."
It was originally predicted that Chief Old Bank would find someone for Zhou Qingfeng, and the area of effect of the spell would be the "small" Cold Wind City, and the target would only be 20,000 to 30,000 people crowded in the craftsman area.
But Tianyang City Guanglaocheng is dozens of times larger than Hanfeng City, with a population of nearly one million. Even if a god comes, he will be blinded, and the ninth-level prophecy arcana has no such power.
"I accidentally compared three types of texts while searching for information and discovered the connection between them.
The ancient evil text is very special. It is a psychic text that can only be used by ancient beings like Caiworth. Ordinary people cannot use it even if they understand it.
The Imaskans are very smart, and they used their psychic knowledge to improve their writing, thereby greatly reducing the requirements for spellcasters."
Reduce spellcasting requirements?!
Zhou Qingfeng immediately realized the value of this ancient writing. He did not need gems to stabilize and strengthen his mental power, so he drew the eight Imask words just now out of thin air.
'The mysterious bird of destiny descended and gave birth to Shang.'
These eight characters represent the beginning of the Shang Dynasty. After transformation by the Imaskans, the characters have specific meanings.
When the stroke ended, the vibration of the magic net became extremely strong, and Zhou Qingfeng felt that his soul resonated with it.
The black swallow appears again. When it spreads its wings and flies, its black feathers fade away and turn into colorful wings, and its size suddenly expands dozens of times.
A bright and colorful bird is roughly formed and dazzling. When it cries for the first time, its awe-inspiring power spreads violently, shocking all directions.
But the magic was interrupted at this moment.
The beautiful form of the colorful bird then disintegrated and disappeared...
Sofia couldn't sit still, and she exclaimed, "Bloodline, only the bloodline with the same origin as Imasca can exert the power of its words. Master, what you just summoned is..."
"It's Phoenix!"
Zhou Qingfeng's strength is too poor, he is only at level five.
But he had once used the 'Naha Mang Mantra' to jump up to the next level and cast the ninth-level arcane spell 'Transform into a Dragon', so he was very aware of the power of the top arcane spell.
The phenomenon caused by the eight words just now is obviously the initial stage after the ninth-level conjuration arcane spell is cast.
"It's incredible."
Sophia is a book charm that has existed for more than a thousand years and has read all the elven knowledge and classics in the Gate of True Knowledge. But she has never seen anyone who can activate a ninth-level arcane spell at the fifth level.
This is obviously an ability that can only be acquired after becoming a legend.
Zhou Qingfeng's mental energy was instantly drained, as if all his strength had been drained from his body. After he said the word "Phoenix", he shook his body, his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
It’s really a mess now!
The seven goblins quickly came over to provide assistance to their master. Sofia called Hilly, Arcee, Erin and others to help.
A group of maids tried their best to wake up Zhou Qingfeng. Various methods were used, and finally they succeeded by injecting high-concentration stamina potion.
Zhou Qingfeng has never drank the spicy cheap physical strength potion since he invented it. This time he cheated himself, and his chest was full of fire.
Being sweated profusely by his own invention, Zhou Qingfeng jumped up from lying down and cursed loudly: "Who fed me the chili pepper?"
Fortunately, the spiciness comes quickly and goes away quickly.
Sweating all over, Zhou Qingfeng woke up. He glanced around the maids around him and asked, "What just happened?"
Confirming that the great master was still alive and kicking, Xili and others breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone's eyes turned to the wisest book charm, Sophia turned her head and plunged into the door of true knowledge.
After checking the books for a long time, Sophia still frowned. She whispered to Zhou Qingfeng...
"Master, the Mulan people destroyed almost all the books of the Imaskan civilization. Your situation cannot be found out from any historical records.
But judging from the current situation, the Imaskan civilization has obviously mastered some way to use the magic network more efficiently, allowing wizards to cast arcane spells at a lower cost and with greater power."
Zhou Qingfeng's heart moved and he brought up his own attribute screen. In the column 'Gate of True Knowledge', the cost of points for learning arcana changed.
The cost of learning magic arcana spells has been reduced from one thousand points to nine hundred points, and other items remain unchanged.
Another attribute has been added - the mastery of Imasca magic words, which is currently only a few tenths of a percent.
Sofia's deciphering of the Imasca text was not in-depth, and she could only identify a dozen or so characters. It happened that the eight characters that could form a sentence were the eight characters for summoning the phoenix.
Since this kind of writing can bring such benefits to Zhou Qingfeng, Sophia naturally continues to decipher it.
Relying on the back-and-forth translation between the three ancient scripts, Shu Mei deciphered more than a hundred Imasca scripts. But this work soon became unstoppable.
"We have too few ancient fragments of Imasca in our hands, even fewer with texts, and even fewer written records with actual meanings." Sofia was very distressed.
Every time he learns a magic word, Zhou Qingfeng's mastery of words can be improved a little bit. After learning more than a hundred, his mastery has increased to 2%.
The cost of learning sleight-of-hand arcana has been directly reduced to 100 points, and even the tuition for first-level arcana has also begun to drop from 10,000 points. However, there is still no discount for learning a second-level arcana with 100,000 points.
"Am I going to become an archaeologist in the future and dig ruins and ancient tombs every day?" Zhou Qingfeng adjusted his thoughts quickly, "Where are the ruins of ancient Imasca?"
"There are many ruins in Imasca. But the most famous one is the Falling Smoke Desert, more than two thousand kilometers south of the Northland. It was originally a fertile and vast plain, and it was the homeland and capital of the Imasca people.
The Imaskans have unparalleled advantages and accomplishments in space and teleportation magic. They use plows as swords and fight everywhere. The empire's power reached its peak thousands of years ago.
From the Great Ice Sea in the north of Faerûn to the Golden Water Bay in the south, there are farmlands and manors of the Imaskans everywhere. The foreigners who were driven out by them could only hide in the mountains and borders.
However, the Imaskans, who had been glorious for thousands of years, were overthrown by their own slaves of Mulan. The god Mulhorad crossed the plane and came to Faerûn, in the form of a saint, giving the empire a fatal blow."
Sophia glanced at Zhou Qingfeng and said, "Master, as a person born from knowledge and history, I am very interested in the civilization of Imasca.
But with your current strength, if you pursue the relics of your ancestors, you may die halfway. I suggest you stay down to earth."
What does it mean to be down to earth?
"Let's solve the current trouble first and then talk about it."
