Chapter 638 Reading the Book of Eternity
Gresco, known as the God of Magicians, once said something that is still regarded as a golden rule by all magicians.
"Knowledge is the most devout belief of a magician"
And this sentence was also written on the cover of the Book of Eternity that Lin Li was holding at the moment.
Under the rule of the high elves, although humans are not completely prohibited from learning magic, do not expect them to teach humans that humans can only rely on their own exploration to find the door to magic in the fog and record it in their own magic books. In the process, 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 Grecos was no exception. Now, Grecos' staff is left in the Oranna Magic Guild, with powerful power. The eternal book that has protected the Oranna Magic Guild for more than a thousand years, this 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 Book of Eternity, and the ink used to write on the pages is the juice that Gresco extracted from the roots of the Tree of Eternity, which 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. The Book of Eternity itself possesses nearly infinite power and can definitely become the most powerful item of that era. magic 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 Gresko and his knowledge of magic. I feel that this is the real valuable treasure for magicians. Whether it is the extremely powerful seventh sky city or the evil eye tyrant's magic crystal that constantly improves mental power, the help it can bring to magicians is huge. 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. This has made many magicians grudge. Although no one has read the Book of Eternity, just by virtue of 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 less than the true content.
The Book of Eternity can be said to be the most complex magic book that Lin Li has ever seen. Before he got his hands on it, he had guessed more than once that the magic book written by Gresco had what it said. What kind of content was recorded? When he read the Book of Eternity for the first time after being handed over to him by Tutankhamun, he knew the content of Gresko's magic book. It could be said that Over the past thousand years, there have been various speculations about the Book of Eternity, but even the most exaggerated guesses 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 and most important thing is naturally magic spells. Back in Tutankhamen's cabin, through the time and space beacon technique, he saw 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 was the Void Stars spell that only existed in legends.
In today's Anriel world, there is no magician who has even a little understanding of the Void Star Technique. No one even knows the level of that 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 know that it is already a field that only gods can 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 The first time he opened the Book of Eternity, he was looking for information about the Void Star Technique. He didn't immediately want to learn it. 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.
Almost everyone has this kind of curiosity, and it does not change due to a person's level of strength. At most, it is a question of whether it can be well controlled. 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, isn't learning magic also to satisfy curiosity?
Lin Li wanted to see the Void Star Technique and legendary magic like the Void Star Technique. How much did Gresco know? But after opening the Book of Eternity, Lin Li discovered that all kinds of magic recorded in this magic book were At least 90% of the spells were things he had never seen before.
Some of these spells are ancient spells, some are demonic runes that Conneris said, and some are Titan scripts. As for the spells written in modern languages such as High Elf and Common Language, they are quite different. From these spells, it can be seen that Gresco's profound knowledge of magic is rare.
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 for decades or hundreds of years, and step into the legendary realm. And now , in the Book of Eternity, only part of the demonic runes, whether they are demonic runes, ancient dragons and beings, or Titan divine inscriptions, are knowledge that points directly to the origin of power and the core of the rules. No wonder some people would speculate that reading the Book of Eternity, It will allow people to advance to the holy realm effortlessly
In addition to the large number of spells that Lin Li couldn't understand, magic was the most important, and naturally it was Gresco's magic experience. Gresco left the Book of Eternity to Tutankhamun in order to use the Book of Eternity. Creation means a strong person who can turn the tide when disaster strikes. Therefore, the experience recorded by Gresco in the Book of Eternity is meticulous to every magic, every spell, every syllable, every magic distribution, every element arrangement. It is no exaggeration to say that the Book of Eternity only occupies a small part of the thick Book of Eternity. In Lin Li's eyes, there are many places that are blank. Of course, Lin Li also knows very well that those are not real blanks. The reason why I can't see it is just because I 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, compared to Gresco back then, the gap is still extremely far. Lin Li knows that he can only wait until he reaches Gresco. In that state, 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 is worthy of his repeated savoring and understanding.
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. Carefully savor the insights between the lines.
Compared with the original time, when Conneris directly used his mental power to transmit the demonic runes into Ru Linli's mind, he read them word by word, and then experienced and comprehended them himself. The learning speed was much slower. However, through the method of mental power transmission , what Lin Li obtained was Cornelius's understanding of the demonic rune. Although he was promoted to the legendary realm through this method, this method of understanding must have limitations. If he used spiritual power to transmit it, maybe Lin Li would become Gresco is second, but it is impossible to surpass Gresco. If you are so serious and experience the taste yourself, there will be no limit to what you can gain. Maybe you will gain little in the moment, but for the long term It is said that it is a process of continuous accumulation. Maybe at some point Lin Li will embark on another road, a road that Gresco may have missed, which is wider than the road Gresco took. In the end, when Lin Li reaches Gresco, When Gresco reaches such a height, he will not be another Gresco. He will even lower Gresco and leave him 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 the latter can take less detours and be able to go further than the predecessors. It's not just magicians, 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, he would ask If you look down, there will definitely 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 ceiling in the study room had automatically lit up long ago. Bright light filled the entire room. Lin Li was still reading the Book of Eternity without any distractions. He seemed to have encountered some problem, and frowned slightly. The syllables came out softly between the 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. As the chanting stopped suddenly, his frown immediately relaxed, and the corners of his mouth relaxed. With a smile on his face and one problem solved, Lin Li clearly felt that his understanding of magic had deepened. He even vaguely felt that his true realm was close to Level 21.
Early the next morning, Varian came to 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 they were of different styles, they were all arranged neatly. They were numerous but not cluttered, probably out of comparison. Although it is just a means of transportation, a carriage is also decorated with the utmost luxury. It is no exaggeration to say that a single gem on some carriages is enough for ordinary people to feed them for a lifetime.
However, Lin Li's carriage did not stop here. Instead, they drove directly into the courtyard behind the Elf Theater. Some carriages had already been parked there, but their appearance was much simpler than the ones outside. However, , Lin Li got off the carriage, and after looking at the carriages, 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 only something you can do if you have a lot of money, but the important thing is to have enough status and strength so that the inscriptionist will not feel that this is an insult to his role in those carriages. Among them, Lin Li also saw people using alchemy circles, and even a carriage using the 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 are not as good as Lin Li's eyes. Whether it is magic patterns or alchemy arrays, in his opinion, they are too superficial and the functions of those magic patterns and alchemy arrays are too superficial. , it is nothing more than making the carriage more comfortable, less bumpy, or adding some defensive features to the carriage that uses magic mechanisms, or it can no longer be said to be a carriage, because it can be seen that there is no need to use it to pull it, to let Lin Li remembered the car before time travel, but unfortunately it looked a little worse, like a large box.
"The owner of that car is Prince Hillary of the Kingdom of Leiding. Prince Hillary's biggest hobby is to excavate and restore the lost technologies of the dark ages. If President Ferre is interested, I can introduce it to you." Va Seeing Lin Li's eyes lingering on that ugliest car for a moment longer, Li An immediately said in a joking way
Lin Li smiled and shook his head. This kind of introduction actually didn't mean much. At most, it was just to show Prince Larry that he would greet him in Varian's honor. He would probably forget about him as soon as he turned around. What is it called? Besides, there is no need for it. At least for a long time, I will not deal with the Leiding royal family.
Well, even if we really have to deal with each other, there are still two playing cards, Enros and Senderos. If necessary, we can actually let them bring Prince Larry to get to know him...
