There was a wooden ladder in front of the bookshelf, and Vice Dean Bruce slowly pushed the ladder, stopped in the corner of the wall, looked up for a long time, and finally frowned, pointed to a thick magic book on the top, and said to me, "You climb up and help me carry that magic book." ”The wooden ladder looks very old, the edges and corners of the entire wooden ladder have been polished very smooth, the whole ladder is wrapped in a layer of pulp, the surface is smooth and visible, I reached out to hold the ladder, I felt cold in my hand, it was made of ironwood.Climb up the wooden ladder, and when you reach the top, you find that the magic book here looks like no one has been touched for a long time, and it is covered with thick dust.Pull out the magic book, and for a moment it will be dusty.This book is very heavy, and there is a very hard layer of monster skin on the surface, no wonder Vice Dean Bruce asked me to take it down, I gently dusted off the paper, holding the book and slowly retreating from the ladder, Bruce looked at the magic badge pattern on the cover of the magic book, reached out and groped for a moment on the uneven texture, then nodded slowly and said, "That's right, this is it." ”He reached out and took the book, held it in his hand, turned and walked to the test table, placed the magic book on the test table, looked at me, and then beckoned me to stand across from him.Open the ancient magic book, a book that records some ancient magic rituals, and the parchment pages in it have the motif of the magic altar several times."
I thought I didn't have to open it before I died!"
Bruce said to me with his head down, looking at the pages with a complicated expression, a little tangled in his heart.It's like this book has some huge attraction that makes him unable to control his desire to read it, but he is a little afraid to read it, as if there is a devil hidden in this book."
What do those symbols represent?"
I asked Bruce curiously, pointing to some of the magic patterns on the page."
Rebirth, resurrection, and reincarnation are all about this, and the sages of Soul Science solved the mystery of the Lich's immortality, and they worked together to write a strange book about resurrection, but this book was cursed by a Lich King, and those who gain power from this magic book will fall to the underworld after death and become an undead lich, and it is said that the author of this book became a corpse witch after death."
Bruce raised an eyebrow and looked at me before he spoke.I looked at it, the courses at the Academy of Magic didn't cover the knowledge of the soul yet, but there were always many things that were difficult to explain in this ancient mystical doctrine.Bruce pointed to the simplest symbol, looked at me, and then said to me, "This symbol represents death, which is the word for the undead, and this sentence can be translated as: In fact, when you have truly attained eternal life, death is not a relief." ”After opening the magic book, I found that the book only had a few dozen pages, but the parchment pages were a little thick, which made the whole magic book look very thick.Vice Dean Bruce fixed his hand on the page of a book with a huge altar depicted, his eyes were already bloodshot, his expression was a little anxious, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged, as if he couldn't control himself.I can't understand Bruce's state at the moment, he must have been influenced by the content of the book to become like this.Just when I was thinking about whether to wake up Dean Bruce, who was immersed in the magic book, Vice Dean Bruce finally exhaled slowly, he closed his eyes to calm his mind, and then slowly opened his eyes, and the red threads in his eyes slowly faded.Then he looked at me, pressed one hand on the pattern of the page, and said to me, "This is the method of awakening the broken soul, but these ancient books have been handed down to this day, and I don't know how many years have passed, and as for whether this method is feasible, there is no way to verify whether this method is feasible, and the conditions required are so harsh that you need to pay a great price" "I will not give up, tell me, Lord Bruce." ”"Well, in that case, I won't say anything else, you come and see here" Vice Dean Bruce pointed to a line of words on the page with an old finger, and said to me: "Here are the three major elements of awakening the soul, the magic weapon, the gem, and the magic array, these three things need you to gather all in order to awaken your sister's soul." ”Bruce said: "First of all, you need a soul horn, according to the book, this horn is refined from the head of the sea monster in the endless sea, it can make the awake soul fall into a deep sleep, and it will also awaken the sleeping soul again, remember that the palace of the Cana Sea Clan treasures such a soul horn, eighteen years ago in the battle of Haiyin Silk City, the Cana royal family appeared with that horn once. ”He glanced at me lightly from the corner of his eye, and continued: "Secondly, you need to have a soul gem, this soul gem will become a carrier for storing souls, and those broken souls can be slowly repaired in the soul gem before they can become complete souls.The so-called soul gem is condensed from the soul fire in the skull of the great lich of the undead clan, this thing also appeared in the imperial capital auction house a while ago, but you better be prepared, this gem is very expensive. ”"Finally, there needs to be an altar that can hold ancient magic rituals, the so-called soul altar, according to the book, is a kind of ancient ruins, this kind of altar should belong to the category of miracles, unfortunately I haven't heard of this kind of altar anywhere in the Grimm Empire, so you need to look for it slowly, maybe those adventurers in the tavern will know some news, but you have to be careful and carefully distinguish what they say."
After hearing this, my head began to feel a little bigger, the soul gem is okay, at least it has appeared in the auction house, but the soul horn and the ancient altar have never heard of these things, let me find it!
There was an indescribable frustration in my heart, and I finally knew why Vice Dean Bruce had repeatedly reminded me to re-choose my reward, but unfortunately I didn't hear the sound of his words, or maybe I was too persistent, even if I knew that this matter was difficult, I must move forward.Looking at Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit on the side, thinking that the matter had come to this point, I was no longer allowed to have any thoughts of retreating.Maybe you should go to the taverns and thieves' guilds and buy some news about it.When I was startled, I heard Vice Dean Bruce say: "If you have the opportunity to gather these, and there is a small awakening ceremony at the end, I will translate the process of the ceremony and the magic spells needed into Green's Chinese and help you transcribe it, the ceremony also requires you to draw a not very complicated magic pattern magic array on the altar, but isn't drawing a magic pattern magic array what you are best at?"
”I nodded when I heard Bruce ask, and then he handed me a large piece of magical parchment, pointed to a magic circle on the page, and said to me, "You can draw this circle!"
”Coming out of Vice Dean Bruce's laboratory, he looked at Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit beside him a little speechlessly, stood beside her, took a deep breath, and said to her, "Sister Guoguo, I will definitely be able to wake you up." ”Wander through the corridors of the Institute of Magic, towards the magic laboratory of Yerkes, who told me to go to him.Along the way, I was greeted by a number of magicians' assistants, most of whom were assistants to other magicians, and we could occasionally chat with each other in the garden of the research courtyard during breaks.Later, I learned from these young magicians that the assistant of the original Jerkes scholar was once the favorite of the assistants, for no other reason, that is, although the Yerkes scholar had a whimsical inspiration, he was a handicapped party, and even the simplest magic pattern could not be completely drawn, so the assistant of the Yerkes scholar had the opportunity to come into contact with the drawing work of the magic pattern circle.This is a great opportunity for those magicians who want to become Mingshi, so many young magicians with experience in making magic scrolls want to be assistants under Yerkes.However, in the past year, there have been more than a dozen young magicians who have been scolded by the Yerkes scholars, and I have become the ultimate beneficiary.Ascend to the terrace on the second floor, push open the familiar laboratory door, and step inside.Yerkis was bending over, carefully wiping a piece of hard leather armor with a brush, this hard leather armor was carved with magic lines, there was a groove inlaid with magic crystals on his chest, and a piece of earthy citrine the size of an egg was squarely inlaid in it, and a trace of earth-based magic elements continued to spread outward from the leather armor.Although the material and shape of this leather armor are slightly different from the chain mail, when I saw the familiar magic patterns on the leather armor, I immediately recognized that the magic pattern circle engraved on this leather armor was not the shield of the earth?
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the Yerkes scholar did not look back, still concentrating on carefully maintaining the breastplate with the magic pattern with a brush.He casually asked, "Coming back?"
Got it done?
Did Bruce tell you the answer you wanted?
”"Hmm!"
I dragged a chair beside him and sat down, and then said with a wry smile: "But things are not optimistic, I still need to prepare some things, those things are very rare, and it will be difficult to find them!"
”"But there's hope, isn't it?"
He smiled and reassured me.This sentence of the scholar Yerkes has entered my heart, and it is true, at least for the time being, there is hope, there is a goal to strive for.I smiled slightly and said, "Hmm!
”"It seems that my worries are unnecessary, you don't need the comfort of others at all, because you know very well what you are doing!"
Yerkes put down the brush in his hand, straightened his waist, stretched his numb body a little, and put his hand on my shoulder and said with relief."
Actually, I thought very simply, I just wanted to wake her up, she must be asleep!"
I looked at Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit and said softly.Yerkis also sat down, he took a sip of water, and said, "I heard that in a few days, you will follow the academy to other planes to experience?"
”I said, "Hiero Plane, now the Grand Duke of Samoyed of the Empire is in charge of opening up the territory, and we are going to hunt monsters in the unknown region over there. ”Yerkis untied the leather armor that hung on the shelf and placed it in my hands.He said to me, "I told you a gift before you went to the plane, look!
It's this leather armor, it's my original work, but Bruce says that this cuirass needs to be made into a metal armor, which will make the whole set look more heroic, so it was kept, it's a leather cuirass with an Earth Shield, a Demon Pattern build with an Earth Shield, which can activate three Earth Shields to protect you when you need protection. ”"Earth Shield?"
I thought he would give me a magic robe or something, but I didn't expect it to be a leather cuirass with a very obvious defensive magic skill, this leather armor may be more suitable for a swordsman or ranger.Yerkes had always been very proud of his work, and Vice Dean Bruce admired his design, but if it was just such a magical skill to draw on this leather breastplate, then there seemed nothing unusual about it.Scholar Yerkes proudly introduced to me: "Well, that's right, among the four elemental shields, the atmospheric shield, the fire shield, the ice shield, and the earth shield, the atmospheric shield will resist magic from the outside world, the fire shield can burn the opponent when the opponent attacks, and the ice shield will slow down the opponent's speed, but the defense of the earth shield is the strongest. ”"But if this magic pattern structure is just that simple, then there is nothing unusual, in fact, what really makes it different is actually that it has a very special lining!"
Scholar Yerkes unbuttoned the leather armor and showed me that the inside of this magic pattern structure was lined with a very soft .
Soft leather.Then, I saw a simplified picture of the Magic Rapid Recovery Circle on the lining, and it turned out to be like this!"
If it is provided for warrior professionals, the magic pattern circle on the lining of this armor will become a magic pattern circle that quickly recovers physical strength.That's it, I fused these two skills into the same Magic Pattern Build, so it looks a little bit stronger than the regular Magic Pattern Build, but it doesn't actually work too much. ”The Yerkes scholar laughed self-deprecatingly, and added: "It's just grandstanding, but after all, there is something special, and now those young children of noble and wealthy families are so poor that they only have money left!"
”"You've always prided yourself as a melee mage, and I've heard that you're reluctant to use a staff in battle, preferring to rush forward with an axe?"
The Yerkes scholar looked at me and asked.I smiled, and it was a tacit acquiescence.Yerkis asked me again, "And I heard that you also belong to a society that promotes the fusion of hand-to-hand combat and magical skills?"
”I explained, "The Sword and Rose Society, the main purpose of our club is to defeat the enemy in battle, in the process of casting spells, combined with the skills of fighting techniques!
”Finally, he shoved the leather armor into my hand and said, "Although I don't agree with this opinion, since this is your choice, then I will support you, this hard leather armor suitable for close combat, as a gift to you!"
