I have a Synthesizer

The bald man was engrossed, and Klein didn't disturb him, quietly waiting for him to savor it.

After a long while, the bald man came back to his senses. He looked at Klein, as if realizing something.

"You've told me so much, you must want something in return. The Jay Society values equivalent exchange. What is it? Speak!"

Klein smiled slightly. Librarians, let alone their strength.

At least, their familiarity with the library should be unmatched.

"Senior, I want to see the ancient mage's books. I couldn't find them on the first floor."

The bald man narrowed his eyes, looking at Klein.

"Hmph, there are many people in the Jay Society who have the same crooked ideas as you. But none of them have good endings. Ancient magic, is it so easy to study?

The rules of the world are different now. Casually touching taboos will only bring disaster upon yourself."

However, the man's words couldn't stop Klein.

"Senior, thank you for your reminder, but I really need these materials."

The bald man curled his lips and took out a key from the drawer. He led Klein to the very back of the second floor of the library.

After pushing aside a bookshelf, he opened an iron door. It was dark and without any lights. He pointed inside and said.

"Ancient magic is inside. Because most people who study ancient magic, if their strength isn't strong enough, are killed by the backlash of the rules.

So the Jay Society has sealed this place off, trying to prevent low-level members from coming into contact with it.

But since you asked for it yourself, I'll let you in. But if something happens, you'll have to bear it yourself. Also, the fee here is one token."

Klein politely nodded. This was what he needed. He took out a token, gave it to the bald man, and bowed slightly.

"Thank you, Senior. I understand."

"Alright, don't give me that. This is just a transaction. I'm leaving. You go in yourself. It's all dark."

After the bald man left, Klein sighed slightly. He likes to read ghost stories but is still timid. If he were a true expert, he wouldn't be afraid of the dark, right!

Klein leaned forward and walked inside.

Before long, some dim lights appeared in the corridor. It was obvious that the magic crystals on these magic lamps hadn't been changed in a long time.

Soon, Klein arrived at the ancient texts area hidden on the second floor of the library.

Many books had thick dust on them, but some books had signs of being read.

It seems that there are still quite a few people who have been here. Klein wasn't in a hurry to find information about ancient mages breaking through.

Instead, he first went to the necromancy area and began searching for ancient necromancer books.

However, ancient necromancy, like Klein's Undead Will, didn't have poisonous branches.

Spells of poison and plague seem to have been added to the necromancer system after the Cataclysm.

To Klein's surprise, most of the necromantic texts had been read by others.

And the dust on them had been wiped very clean, making it seem like they had been read recently.

Klein picked up a magic book called "Skeleton."

"So, bone extension really is ancient magic from the past."

Klein recorded several ancient spells here. Undead Bone Chains, Weakness Curse, Tier 2 Shadow Arrow, etc.

After memorizing these spells, Klein closed the book. Regardless of whether he could learn them or not, he would memorize them first.

After finishing browsing the undead area, Klein became more and more interested in ancient magic.

… …

Ancient magic gave him a lot of inspiration. Perhaps, he could really find a way to break through here.

Klein searched around, and finally found books about ancient mages advancing in a corner.

Klein took out a few of them and continued reading. But quickly, Klein shook his head.

"Ancient mages still focus on constructing a magic pool. This is no different from modern mages."

After flipping through a few more books, the content was similar, and Klein was very disappointed.

Until Klein found a book with a completely different cultivation concept from the previous ones.

"Symbiotic Magic Core"

This was a book about using the magic core of a magical beast as the mage's energy core.

Looking at the first sentence of this book, Klein immediately became interested.

[I am a person without mage qualifications, but I eventually became a Tier 5 mage - Steve Arthur]

This book, rather than a classic, is more like a biography of a man named Steve.

He was originally a servant of a mage, and this mage had been conducting human experiments.

Steve was just an ordinary person, and his mage master forcibly implanted a Tier 1 magic core into his body.

All the test subjects died, but Steve survived.

He didn't have the ability to build a magic pool, but the magic core became his magic core.

Having magic, Steve killed his mage master, and he was free.

After that, he constantly hunted magical beasts, finding magic cores that matched him.

Then, he used special methods to fuse these magic cores, replacing the previous magic core.

He continued to break through using this method until he became a Tier 5 mage.

But at this time, he was already old and had no ability to defeat stronger magical beasts. In the end, Steve passed away with his regrets.

He thought this kind of mage who used the magic core as the energy core was very interesting.

In Steve's vision, the advancement of a mage is important to the magic core, not the magic pool.

Most mages use the magic pool as the core, but the magic pool is not the only core of a mage.

This is a very novel theory, and this theory also applies to Klein.

Although he didn't get a way to break through himself, Klein still felt that he had gained something.

At least ancient mages don't only have the magic pool as a path to take.

… …

Having been inspired, Klein began to rethink. Bone enhancement is an ability of the Undead Will talent.

As for the Burning Magic Heart, Klein felt that it was more like an arcane ability.

The Burning Magic Form and the arcane enhancement ability of ancient mages are too similar. With this in mind, Klein came to the arcane mage area.

Compared to the books in other areas, there were surprisingly many books about arcane mages.

Even the sum of element mage books, which have a large category, is only one-third of the arcane books.

Undead books are less than one-tenth of arcane books. From the number of books, it is enough to understand the glory of ancient arcane mages.
