Returning from the abyss

Chapter 477 The Origin of the Magic Book
Delia was the only one who witnessed two murder scenes, and once she turned on the light wings, she could see many details clearly under the lighting, perhaps it was that time that made her have a deep impression.

"On the eighth day of opening, there was a Dharma lecture on that day, so I can remember it clearly." Jingrui replied, "Miss Delia must have discovered something, but she couldn't describe it, it must be some kind of feeling. "

"Feeling?" Everyone frowned, this is indeed the worst thing to describe.

"That should be what Delia meant when she mentioned the myth of Karui to Mr. Stevenson. Very good." The only one who has not been affected is Lu Ning. She is almost reading books while waiting for others, although the myth is very It is thick, but with the memory method she has trained for a period of time, it is relatively easy to remember where and what stories are there. I have already read half of the book in this way.

"The murderer is a black shadow. To be able to kill so many vicious murderers, his strength must be crushing. But maybe it's not the person... well, it must be the person."

Lu Ning recalled the contents of the book.

"Leaving aside those trivial details, I can understand the connection between these dead people and the Kare mythology... "Aberoa's World Tour" is a very popular story about gods descending to the world to travel, punishing evil and promoting good, and stories that have been spread around the world. They are similar, but the only ones who can be said to have a high degree of commonality are those villains."

So why did Delia stop at the front part of the war?Probably because she noticed that there is a very similar setting there - the evil god defeated by the supreme god when he created the world.

This is also a very common story. Since Lu Ning doesn't know the time of creation, Lu Ning can't judge which of the two appeared first. The evil gods defeated by the Supreme God in the war scroll also represent various evils. It's just that the creator is very clear that the battle between the gods should be more "noble", and has carried out a large exaggeration and grand depiction of the evil gods. Lu Ning sees no difference if these are stripped away.

The question is what can be done with these.

"I want to ask a question." She thought for a moment, turned a few pages, and said.

"Speak." Gabel nodded.

"At the end of this war volume, it is mentioned that the Supreme God sealed the evil gods they defeated in the weapons they used, and then created this world as the outer shell of the seal. Naturally, the Kari people took their Spiral Mountain as the most important It's not important, but this description actually reminded me of a very similar thing." Lu Ning pressed her finger on the chapter on the book, "A artifact, which seals the power of a powerful existence Soul, knowledge, experience..."

"Oh?" Jin Yi raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to talk about magic books?"

"That's right. Myths are myths after all. I don't know much about the history of magic. I would like to ask you. Technology such as magic books must have been created. So who was the ancestor who first wrote the magic books?"

This question really stunned Gabel for a moment.

"I... really don't know, Captain Jin? Deputy Candida?" He turned his head to look, and the two also showed a wry smile. After all, they also majored in combat, so this kind of question is already somewhat professional.

"Pruitt?" Gabel looked at the student again, but the magic department didn't teach this kind of thing, so everyone fell into a daze for a while.

"I'll check..." Candida immediately stood up, and Gabel waved his hand: "Forget it, this is not something like extracting evidence. This kind of historical stuff is either known by a knowledgeable person, or You have to ask someone to search in the library."

At this moment, a kind laughter came from outside the door of this small room: "It sounds like someone is in trouble?"

Gabel stood up immediately when he heard the voice, and several people in the room showed respectful expressions. Seeing this, Lu Ning also stood up and looked towards the door.

An old man walked in, his thin body was concealed by a wide mage robe, but his appearance was unforgettable——Mage Sage Percival.

"Sit down, I just passed by by chance." Percival waved his hand and walked in with a smile, "I came to see if the opening of the library is going well. I happened to pass by and heard someone mention the history of magic. What's going on?"

"Mr. Parcival, this..." Jin, who was always calm, was also a little lost at this time, "We are investigating a case."

"Oh? A case? In the library, there is a case in the Violet Library?" Parcival's expression suddenly became serious, "Tell me what's going on, Gabel?"

"That... teacher..." Gabel looked embarrassed, but this title made many people look sideways.

"It's been a long time since you graduated, and I still remember your grades, which are excellent. After so many years, you shouldn't become timid." Percival looked at Gabel, "You still want me to find someone younger Can someone tell you what happened?"

"No, I'm just a little excited." Gabel rubbed his chest, "That's right, teacher."

He succinctly explained the entire investigation process, results, and current intelligence.

"Now we are checking this magic book and the previous experience of Ms. Delia, and want to find some connections. This Miss Lilian pointed out that some records in the book are very similar to the magic book, so I want to verify it Let’s talk about the origin of the magic book.”

Percival glanced at Lu Ning, and stroked his beard with his hand.

"The origin of the magic book is indeed from the Karui area."

Now everyone was taken aback.

"It's not surprising, because before magic was popularized, the Karui region was the people who were best at sealing various spirits into objects to make spiritual and demon weapons. Different from the natural formation in the East, the Karui people have their own set of methods. Hunting and refining strategies. After the magic began to prosper and communicate with the surrounding area, some of the patriarchs in Kari who were thinking about the family began to try to seal up some of their own knowledge to ensure the prosperity of future generations—even though it really prospered for a long time because of it. None of my family has any, but this skill has been passed down."

"So, the first magic book..."

"That's not true." Percival shook his head, "After this skill was spread, many people tried to transform it, some hoped to use it to add avatars to themselves, some wanted to rely on it to live forever, and Some want to create an army in this way. In short, among these strange ideas, the magic guide book was invented by a magic guide emperor. He is a traveler in an uninhabited desert area and knows many different magics. A lot of complicated techniques were used for improvement, and finally a stable magic book was formed. However, the Kari region can indeed be regarded as the birthplace of the theory of magic books.”

"Principal Parcival..." Lu Ning raised her hand.

Treating the students, Percival immediately restored his kind expression: "What's the matter, Lilian?"

"That's right, I heard you say that besides magic books, people are also trying to apply this skill to other things, do you understand?"

This question kept Parcival silent for a moment.

"Son, you have to know that the beginning and prosperity of magic are all accompanied by killing and death. This history is actually not beautiful at all, full of horror, violence and inhuman cruelty."

"But it's very important. Maybe Delia's death is related to this. Since they are historical mistakes and have not yet died out, we must continue to compress their living space." Lu Ning said immediately.

"You think so?" Percival sat down on an empty seat and sighed, "Then... I'll make a general statement. I hope you can learn from it."

Everyone put on the expression of a good student.

"The foundation of this skill is to seal spirits in things. No matter how it changes, the core will not change. The experiment of adding incarnations is to try to seal spirits in people, by forcibly pouring one's own knowledge, experience, etc. into another In the human body, destroy the original personality of that person to give birth to a brand new self, and then achieve complete control over this split personality outside the body through some secret techniques. The experiment of immortality is similar to the oriental "seize the house" spell, which will seal It will be activated after the death of one's own body, and will automatically infect the spirit of the next contact person into a state similar to oneself, and find the right time to instill knowledge and memory to achieve immortality. The third type, then It is to expand the infectivity of this type of trap, cultivate loyal dead soldiers, and then try to assassinate these people, mix their soul fragments with their own knowledge to make artifacts, and then spread them out, and soon a group of dead soldiers can be harvested, and Some of these dead soldiers can be transferred to become new 'seeds'..."

Even though Lu Ning had seen many cruel scenes, her scalp was numb by Parcival's description.

"This, this is all black magic, right?" Gabel also stuttered a little when he opened his mouth.

"Indeed, modern magic has classified all magic of the same origin except magic books into the category of black magic, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to learn it. Of course, there are still some people who secretly learn black magic in this world, and it is difficult to eradicate." Percy Val stroked his beard. "This is all in the past. Fortunately, magic did not go astray in the end. Most people still abandoned those quick success methods and really explored the mysteries of this miracle."

Pruitt heaved a sigh of relief, as if he held his breath in the middle of what Percival said just now.

"However, the magic guide book does come from the same source as these, isn't it?" Lu Ning quickly regained her senses and asked.

"Yes." Parcival nodded.

"That is to say, if you master the tricks, the current magic guide can also be transformed in the direction of those black magic, right?"

"Lilian, grimoires are recognized—" Gabel wanted to speak in a hurry, but was interrupted by Percival.

"That's right. You also know that even the safest magic books here still can't get rid of their highly polluting characteristics. Ewalang has to build a library specially to store them. If someone really knows this kind of spells , even the existing magic book can be modified into similar utensils. But Lilian, you have a good idea, but I want to tell you that this transformation is very complicated. If you want to revive the soul in the magic book, it will take at least ten For more than a year, this can only be done at the emperor's level."

"Are you sure?" Lu Ning asked.

"I have the relevant knowledge, so I can be sure." Percival looked at her, the way the teacher looked at the students, "So if someone, even a member of the council, wants to revive the soul in the magic book , there can only be five books at most. And five magic books, with the strength of Avalon, even the Violet Library can’t get out.”

"Principal, you know it's easy to handle. Then if the goal is not to revive the soul in the magic book, but just to increase the infection ability of the magic book, for example, like the avatar example you mentioned, by destroying someone's How long will it take to replace it with a personality?"

Parcival frowned slightly.

"That time will be shortened a lot, maybe one year. But the reason why we say that incarnation is different from resurrection is because incarnation does not have the original soul, and magic power and talent cannot be replaced. After all, there is something lacking."

"Those... murderers. Delia discovered the murderer's purpose in killing those murderers." Lu Ning breathed out, "This is also the reason why she was killed, she touched the core. Principal Parcival, if the request is lowered Some, let the murderer gain the knowledge and experience in the magic book, and the personality will not be destroyed..."

"The pollution of the magic book is inevitable, just like its core." Percival immediately replied, "But... magic is not absolutely rigid. If we really want to know, we must ask about it experts."

"Expert? Black mage? But how could those guys who hide their heads and show their tails find out in a short while?" Gabel scratched his hair in distress.

"There is one." Parcival and Lu Ning said at the same time, and then they looked at each other, and Lu Ning saw the old man winking at him.

=
What was it like to walk with the greatest magician of all time?
At least Lu Ning felt like an elder took her out for an outing. If she added any description, it would be an unparalleled sense of security, the kind that would make her feel like she could face the Twelve Councilors directly.

And Parcival is as kind to Lu Ning as he is to every student. This old man has been engaged in education all his life, and may not be able to take care of every student who is new to magic due to limited energy, but since the beginning You can know how much he loves these students in the large-scale Q&A in Jiaeshen Square.

By the way, the two are flying now.

The forbidden air of Ewalang can make the magician emperor have to walk on two legs, but he can't help the only magician in the world. The wind in the night sky can only make people feel a little bit cool under the protection of the magic shield. The projection of the sundial standing between the sky and the earth in the entire Eva Gallery is now under Lu Ning, and the shimmering lights all over the city harmoniously form circles, clearly separating the middle and outer layers with light and shade. all blocks.A round of bright moon is at the same level as the clouds, and the light is full of gentle magic, even intoxicating.

But it didn't last long, and soon, Parcival brought Lu Ning down, and the brightly lit [Hot and Sour Cocktail] was in front of them.
