"Endless pages, endless magic books..."
Russell murmured after hearing this, and tried to turn the [Book of Weishan Emperor] to the last page. This book indeed has extraordinary magic power. It has about twenty or thirty pages, but every time you turn a page, the one at the front The page will blend into the cover, and a new page will appear at the end.
Endless, never ending!
Russell closed the magic book and carefully put it back to its original place on the bookshelf. He suddenly felt that he was very hungry. He had indeed not eaten for many days. The most important thing was that he was thirsty and his throat was about to smoke.
It feels very strange. The body and spirit seem to be in two different worlds. The body is very tired and seems to collapse at any time, but the spirit is extremely active due to excitement. This is probably the charm of knowledge.
Russell knew that it was not that time had become faster, but that the flow of time had always been the same. It was only because he was so focused on thinking, too concentrated, immersed in the vast ocean of magic, and ignored the things around him that he forgot time.
As Einstein said, time flies when you sit with a beautiful woman. Russell knew a little about this. When he and Natasha had sex for three days in a row, time went really fast!
"You haven't had a drop of water in ten days and you haven't slept. Your physical fitness is really amazing!" Gu Yi said with emotion: "I could do it when I was young, but not anymore when I am old. Young people must remember to exercise moderation. It’s too late when you’re old.”
These words seemed to have something to say. Russell twitched his brows but did not complain: "Master Gu Yi, can I come to the Library again next time?"
"Okay, you can come in at any time. Now go and take a rest!" Gu Yi took Russell out of the library and handed a simple black key to his hand.
"This is?"
"Open the key to Kama Taj. Close the door outside the temple. Use the key to open the passage." The two came to the door in front of the square. Gu Yi stroked his beard and said: "Originally, I planned to wait for you. I'll take you out after you faint from hunger, but your men can't seem to hold it any longer. If you don't show up, they will blow up the temple."
"I'm extremely sorry. I'm going to go out and reprimand them." Russell's face darkened. The men Gu Yi was referring to must be Natasha and Jason. Considering that Jason only knows how to use a machete, the demolition crew must be Natasha. No doubt about it.
Isn’t this nonsense!
The portal is not open. Can you blow up any Kama Taj?
Russell felt that he needed to have a good lecture with Natasha. He really wanted to blow up Kama Taj, so it would be more likely to send a package with the words 'Ancient One personally expresses' written on it.
…
The days that followed became particularly peaceful. Russell stayed in Karma Taj to study magic, feeling quite isolated from the world.
Of course, his isolation from the world was indirect. He would leave Kamal Taj every five days to meet Natasha. In addition to doing some daily physical and mental health exercises, Natasha will also be given some instructions for Natasha to pass back to Hydra, so that she will not be absent for a long time, causing instability in people's hearts.
Regarding the portal in Siberia, Russell asked Ancient One. The distance was too far and it was colder than the Himalayas. He had suffered in the past, so he simply stayed in Kathmandu. At least the climate here is pleasant, and you can go out and relax when you get tired of reading.
Originally, he also considered developing the power of Hydra in Nepal and controlling the area around the temple, but this was the territory of the Ancient One, so in the end he did not dare to implement it.
There are too many spells recorded in the "Book of Emperor Weishan". Russell is addicted to it. He wakes up every five days. He has learned only a handful of spells, but his understanding of magic is getting deeper and deeper.
Not every magic you see can be learned. Let's take Russell as an example. He has no life to assist his teammates at all. Don't expect to gain health and defense when fighting alongside him. It's a blessing to have no negative BUFF.
As for life-related spells, Russell could always master them easily. For example, he learned to be a tailor and found some materials to sew up a damaged black robe. Master Gu Yi commented that he had chosen the wrong profession. Whether it was a warrior, a tailor, or an alchemist, they all had a better future than being a mage, but he chose the most difficult one.
Russell sneered at this, don't think that just because you are the Supreme Mage, you really understand magic. A real mage should cultivate both magic and martial arts. Mage who only cultivate magic and spirit are evil. A portal and backstab can send them on their way.
Although, he hasn't learned the portal yet...
Ancient Master Mage's original evaluation was correct. Russell's talent in magic was mediocre, or the spells recorded in the "Book of Weishan Emperor" were not suitable for him. In addition to broadening his horizons, the only function of this book was to increase his ability to meditate. The magic within him.
[The Book of Weishan Emperor] was too long, and Russell felt that he would never finish it in his lifetime. In addition, there were only a handful of spells that he could learn, so he turned to other magic books. To be fair, it's not that [The Book of Weishan Emperor] is not good enough, but that it is too good and not suitable for a dabbler like Russell. He should find some introductory books that are easy to understand.
[Quotes from Proverbs], [Guidelines for the Use of Magic], [Spell Analysis], [Witchcraft Guide], [Nova Cosmology], [Solomon Classics] and other novice reading materials are in line with his current realm and scope of understanding.
After being briefly obsessed with the "Book of Emperor Weishan", Russell quickly realized that in the world of magic, don't always think about powerful spells. Only the ones that suit you are the strongest. The magic in the book is always someone else's. It can be learned from but cannot be copied. The only way for Russell to find the magic that suits Russell is by himself. With enough magical attainments and theoretical foundation, he can carve out his own path.
And these foundations are kept in the library!
After thinking about this, the bookshelf in front of Russell automatically changed, and the books placed on it changed a lot. The "Book of Emperor Weishan" no longer appeared, replaced by some alchemy guides, a complete collection of spells and runes, Easy-to-understand books such as analysis of magic theory.
However, there was one book that surprised Russell. It was a Book of Death with an ominous name, the origin of many black magic books.
【Dark God Book】
It is said that it was written by a fallen ancient god billions of years ago. The book can affect the release of energy channels on the earth and borrow the power of that god.
The magic book that reaches the sky in one step is very powerful, but the price is also very strong. The power of the ancient demon will corrupt the soul, kill the user and use his body to let the demon's projection come to the world.
Russell hesitated for a moment, and his strong curiosity made him flip through a few pages. Text appeared layer by layer on the blank pages. It could be any kind of text, directly immersing itself in the heart of the viewer.
This book was so evil that Russell suppressed his growing desire and put it back on the bookshelf. He immediately left the library and had two cups of tea with Gu Yi before he gradually calmed down.
"Master Ancient One, you didn't tell me that there are risks in reading books!" Russell complained: "If I hadn't stopped it, I might have summoned the evil god to the earth."
Master Gu Yi was as calm as ever and mocked casually: "No, you can't do it. You don't have that ability."
Russell was so angry that his liver ached, and the calm state of mind that he finally calmed down collapsed again. He left Kama Taj to find Natasha, messed around for a while and entered the time of the sage before he really calmed down.
Sure enough, drinking tea is no better way to relieve stress than having sex!
At the end of the session, all desire is gone, everything is in vain, everything seems to be boring, there is no pressure left!
…
In this way, Russell stayed at Karma Taj for a year. Time went incredibly fast. If he hadn't met Natasha every now and then, it would have been hard for him to believe that so much time had passed.
Also through the information Natasha passed on, he learned about many major events happening in the outside world. The mustachioed Führer was already cold, Berlin was captured, and he shot himself in the basement. Neon was also severely beaten a few days ago and was tortured by the 'fat man' and the 'little boy'. He is currently discussing the matter of unconditional surrender.
The Second World War is not far away from officially ending. As for the last three giants of the Axis Powers, let’s not mention their intentions and interests.
As time passed rapidly, Russell's strength grew like a rocket. Even the mean Gu Yi raised his evaluation by one level, from half a bucket of water to an intruder, who could barely be called a mage.
It's not that Russell is really weak. In fact, in terms of actual combat, he is better than many of Kama Taj's mages. However, Ancient One's criterion for evaluating whether a wizard is strong or not is based on magical attainments, rather than how much destructive power he can unleash.
Just like the monks in Shaolin Temple, even if the monk knocks over the abbot with three punches, he will not be called a master!
Russell pulled down the attribute bar: "It's time to leave this world and go shopping elsewhere..."
