Dilea was the only person who witnessed two murder scenes, and once she turned on the light wings, the illumination was enough to see many details clearly. Perhaps it was that time that made a deep impression on her.
"On the eighth day of the opening, there was a Buddhist lecture on that day, so I can remember it clearly." Jingrui replied, "Miss Dilea must have discovered something, but she couldn't describe it. It must have been a certain feeling. "
"Feeling?" Everyone frowned. This is indeed the hardest thing to describe.
"That should be what Dilea meant by mentioning the myth of Karui to Mr. Stevenson. Very good." The only one who has not been affected is Lu Ning. She was reading books almost all the time while waiting for others, even though 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 the story is. She has already read half of the book this way.
"The murderer is a black shadow. He can kill so many vicious murderers. His strength must be overwhelming. But maybe it's not him... Well, it should be said that it's definitely not him."
Lu Ning recalled the contents of the book.
"Throwing aside those minutiae, we can understand the connection between these dead people and the Kare mythology... "Aboloa's World Tour" is a very popular volume of stories about gods traveling to the earth to punish evil and promote good, as well as stories spread around the world. They are all very similar, and the only ones who can be said to have extremely high similarities are those villains."
So why did Delea stop at the war part? Probably because she noticed that there was a very similar setting there - the evil god that the Supreme God defeated when he created the world.
This is also a very common story. Since he doesn't know the time of creation, Lu Ning can't tell which of the two appeared first. The evil gods defeated by the Supreme God in the war volume also represent various evils. It's just that the creator knew very well that the battle between gods should be more "noble", and made a large exaggeration and grand description of the evil god. Stripping away these, there is no difference in Lu Ning's opinion.
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 defeated evil gods in the weapons they used, and then created this world as the shell of the seal. Naturally, the Kari people used their Spiral Mountain as the most important The location of the evil god's seal is not important, but this description actually reminded me of something very similar." Lu Ning pressed the chapter on the book with her fingers, "An artifact has some kind of powerful existence sealed inside. Soul, knowledge, experience..."
"Oh?" Jin Yi raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to talk about the magic book?"
"That's right. A myth is a myth after all. I don't know much about the history of magic. I would like to ask. Technology like the Magic Book must have been created. So who was the ancestor who first wrote the Magic Book?"
This question really made Gabel stunned for a moment.
"I... really don't know, Captain Jin? Deputy Candida?" He turned around and saw the two men also smiled bitterly. After all, they also majored in combat, so this kind of question was already somewhat professional.
"Pruit?" Gabel looked at the student again, but the divine arts department didn't teach this kind of thing, so everyone was at a loss for a while.
"I'll check..." Candida stood up immediately, and Gabel waved his hand: "Forget it, this is not about extracting physical evidence. This kind of historical stuff is either known to knowledgeable people, or You have to ask someone to look for it 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. Several people in the room showed respectful expressions. Seeing this, Lu Ning also stood up and looked at the door.
An old man walked in. The loose mage robe covered his thin body, but his appearance was unforgettable - the magic 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 went smoothly. I passed by by chance and heard someone mention the history of magic. What's going on?"
"Mr. Percival, this..." Jin, who had always been calm, was also a little confused at this time, "We are investigating a case."
"Oh? A case? There is a case happening in the Violet Library, including the library?" Percival's expression suddenly became serious, "Tell me what's going on, Gabel?"
"That...teacher..." Gabel looked embarrassed, but this title made many people look at him.
"You graduated a long time ago, and I still remember your grades. They are very good. You shouldn't become timid after so many years." 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 it, teacher."
He concisely stated the entire investigation process, results and the intelligence currently known.
"Now we are checking this magic book and what happened to Ms. Delea before, trying to find some connections. Miss Lillian suggested that some of the records in the book are very similar to the magic book, so she wanted to verify it. Let’s talk about the origin of the grimoire.”
Percival glanced at Lu Ning and stroked his beard.
"The origin of the Magic Book does come from the Karui area."
Now everyone was surprised.
"This is not surprising, because before magic was popularized, the people in the Karui area were the best at sealing various spirits into artifacts to create spiritual and demonic weapons. Different from the natural formation in the East, the Karui people have their own set of Hunting and refining strategies. As magic began to flourish and exchanges with the surrounding areas began, some of the clan leaders in Karui who cared about their families began to try to seal away some of their knowledge to ensure the prosperity of future generations - even though they would truly prosper for a long time because of this. There is no one in the family, but the skill spreads."
"So, the first magic book..."
"That's not the case." Percival shook his head, "After this skill spread, many people tried to transform it. Some hoped to use it to add more incarnations to themselves, some wanted to rely on it to live forever, and some wanted to live forever. Some wanted to create an army in this way. In short, among these strange ideas, the magic book was invented by a magician emperor. He was a traveler in an uninhabited desert area and knew many different magics. Many complex techniques were used to improve it, and finally a stable grimoire was formed. However, the Karui region can indeed be regarded as the birthplace of the grimoire theory."
"Principal Percival..." Lu Ning raised her hand.
When dealing with students, Percival immediately regained his kind expression: "What's the matter, Lilian?"
"That's right. I heard you say that in addition to grimoires, people are also trying to apply this skill to other aspects. Do you understand?"
This question made Parcival silent for a moment.
"Child, 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 terror, violence and inhuman cruelty."
"But it's very important. Maybe Dilea's death is related to this. Since they are historical mistakes and have not 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 give you a rough summary. I hope you can learn from it."
Everyone put on the expression of a good student.
"The basis of this skill is to seal spirits into things. No matter how it changes, the core will not change. The experiment of adding incarnations is to try to seal spirits into people, by forcibly infusing one's own knowledge, experience and other things into another person. In the human body, the original personality of that person is destroyed to give birth to a new self, and then through some secret techniques, complete control of this split personality outside the body is achieved. The experiment of immortality is similar to the Eastern "body seizing" spell, which will seal the Make a trap out of something, and it will be activated after your own body dies, automatically infecting the spirit of the next person you come into contact with to a state similar to your own, and find the right time to instill knowledge and memory to achieve immortality. And the third type, It is to expand the contagiousness 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 you can quickly harvest a group of dead soldiers, and Some of these dead warriors can be mobilized to become new 'seeds'..."
Even though Lu Ning had seen many cruel scenes, she was also left numb by Percival's description.
"Is this, this is all black magic?" Gabel 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 in the world who secretly learn black magic, and it is difficult to eradicate them." Percy Val touched his beard and said, "This is all in the past. Fortunately, magic did not go astray in the end. Most people gave up on the quick and easy methods and truly explored the mystery of this miracle."
Pruitt let out a sigh of relief, as if he had held it back in the middle of Percival's words just now.
"However, the magic book does come from the same source as these, right?" Lu Ning quickly recovered and asked.
"Yes." Percival nodded.
"In other words, if you master the tricks, the current magic books can also be transformed in the direction of those dark magics, right?"
"Lillian, the magic book is recognized -" Gabel hurriedly wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Percival.
"Yes. You also know that even the safest magic books here still cannot eliminate their highly polluting characteristics. Evarang has to build a library to store them. If someone really knows this type of magic , even existing magic books can be modified into similar artifacts. But Lillian, you have a good idea, but I want to tell you that this modification is very complicated. If you want to revive the soul in the magic book, it will cost at least ten dollars. For more than a year, this can only be achieved by the Emperor Saint level."
"Are you sure?" Lu Ning asked.
"I have relevant knowledge myself, so I can be sure." Percival looked at her, still as a teacher looking at students, "So if someone, even a member of the Council, wants to resurrect the soul in the magic book, , there can only be five books at most. And with the five magic books, Evarang’s strength can’t even get out of the Violet Library.”
"Headmaster, you know that would be easy. Then if the goal is not to resurrect the soul in the grimoire, but just to increase the infection ability of the grimoire, for example, by destroying someone's body like the incarnation example you mentioned, How long will it take to replace the personality?"
Percival's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"The time will be shortened a lot, maybe one year. But the reason why we say incarnation and resurrection are different is because the incarnation does not have the original soul, and the magic power and talent cannot be replaced. After all, it is lacking."
"Those... murderers. Dilea discovered the murderer's purpose of killing those murderers." Lu Ning exhaled, "This is also the reason why she was killed. She touched the core. Principal Percival, if the request is lowered, Some, so that the murderer can obtain the knowledge and experience in the magic book, and his personality will not be destroyed..."
"The contamination 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 this aspect experts.”
"Expert? Black magician? But how can those guys who hide their heads and tail show their heads and tails find it out in a short while?" Gabel scratched his hair in distress.
"There is one." Percival and Lu Ning said it at the same time, and then they looked at each other, and Lu Ning saw the old man wink at him.
=
What's it like to travel with the greatest magician of the world?
At least Lu Ning felt like her elders took her out for an outing. If she could describe it in any way, it would be an unparalleled sense of security, the kind that made her feel like she could face the Twelve Members now.
And Percival is as kind to Lu Ning as he is to every student. This old man has been engaged in education for a lifetime, and may not be able to take care of every student who is new to magic due to limited energy. But just from the beginning You will know how much he cares for these students through the large Q&A in Gaesin Square.
By the way, the two of them are flying now.
The forbidden air in Evarang allows the Magic Emperor to walk on two legs, but it cannot do anything to the only magic sage in the world. The wind in the night sky can only make people feel a little bit cool under the obstruction of the magic shield. The projection of the sundial that stands between the sky and the earth in the entire Evar Gallery is now just below Lu Ning. The dim lights all over the city coordinately form circles, with light and dark clearly distinguishing the middle and outer layers. All blocks. A bright moon is level with the clouds, and its light is full of gentle magic, even intoxicating.
However, it didn't last long. Soon, Percival brought Lu Ning down, and in front of them was the brightly lit [Hot and Sour Cocktail].
