180 Midsummer's Spell Notes (2/4)

Chapter 180 Midsummer's Spell Notes (24)

After hearing Zhao Xu's request, Andy, the tall and thin man, woke up like a dream. He hurriedly reached out and fumbled on the ground, but because of nervousness, he found nothing.

"Then let me do it." Seeing that the man named Andy was so nervous, Zhao Xu simply cast the "Mage's Hand" and let the black classic fly into his hands.

At this time, those young men and women also watched this scene silently. Even if they lived in Mystra, every time they saw these spells, they could recall the sighs in their parents' eyes when they found out that they had not become a mage or a priest.

After Zhao Xu controlled the book to fly to his hands and clenched it tightly, he did not open it in a hurry, but looked at the man Andy with questioning eyes.

Waiting for the other party to add some information to him.

For example, there is a magic tome in the legendary library, which itself is also a magic item called "Scroll of Unknown Origin".

Reading it also grants a +5 competence bonus on Knowledge checks, as long as the alignment matches.

Read that scroll, and as time increases, you can get corresponding improvements. But when you read a scroll, you are also taking an adventure. Every hour can be countered by the scrolls, with consequences ranging from insanity, to being cursed, to becoming a ghost.

So for books of unknown origin, Zhao Xu would not open them immediately.

But Andy looked at Zhao Xu's bright eyes falling on him, and then thought of the terrifying identity of the other party, he couldn't help but panic, and quickly explained: "I don't know the name of this book, I found it from the family's possessions. I only know that my ancestors ventured to obtain it from a mysterious tomb a long time ago. It's just that the ancestors died of serious injuries soon after returning from the adventure, so This tome has also been sealed away.”

"Is there any special effect?" Zhao Xu then asked.

These primitive rituals are recorded in mysterious books in ancient tombs, which sounds plausible.

At this time, Andy sat up cross-legged, ignoring the impact of the gravel on the ground, and began to recall: "My ancestors took it to the mages for identification, and confirmed that it was actually a magic item. As for the effect—— "

At this time, Andy couldn't help looking at the classic book with a look of fear, and said, "The words recorded on it will have spirituality."

Zhao Xu's heart moved after hearing this, "You mean that the summoning ceremony just now was copied by you yourself?"

Andy's face became paler, and he nodded, "We saw that ceremony in a mysterious shop selling ancient relics on Mistra Central Street. Out of curiosity, I copied the content of the ceremony on the stone slab After Lisa’s accident, I wanted to really carry out this ceremony, and I went to that store on purpose, but the stone slab was bought by the mage long ago.”

"The first requirement for the performance of the ceremony is to make the incantation that was transcribed into the ceremony spiritual. I also thought of this, so I deliberately dug out this classic from the family's collection."

Zhao Xu listened to the other party's description, which was basically logical.

As for possessing spirituality, he probably understood what it meant. When they transcribed spells, they required spirituality in the text, that is, they had to use ink and quill pens specially used for transcribing spells, and at the same time use arcane text.

He didn't expect that the ancient book in his hand would have the same effect. Wouldn't it be equivalent to a different kind of "blessing book"?

Can spells be transcribed without materials?

It's just that this book doesn't seem to be able to withstand copying. A ninth-level spell will take up nine pages of space, which is much lower than the legendary 1,000-page blessing book.

There is no difference at all from the ordinary 100-page spell book, except that the material cost is saved.

However, Zhao Xu also made up his mind. Later, he would copy some core spells that the association was open to purchase and learn, and then sell the copied books.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu directly took out the "organist goggles" that Antinoya had given him before, and cast "detection magic" on the classic on the spot.

Immediately detects the light of magic through the transformation of the goggles, and the energy of the spell is integrated into the interior of the tome.

With a swipe of the floor, the effect of the classics was directly displayed in front of his eyes.

Zhao Xu read it carefully, but couldn't help but be taken aback.

I thought to myself, is it possible to upgrade the identification technique, or does the identification have a certain failure rate?

However, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and directly opened the book. Nearly half of the pages of this book have already recorded various contents.

There are a few pages of notes on the front of the male ancestor who brought this classic book out of the mysterious tomb. It is estimated that these contents made this classic book not a sacrificial object, but preserved as an ancestor's manuscript.

Most of the rest are scattered notes from the ancestors of the male family, some wrote their own poems, and some painted various ritual magic circles, but Zhao Xu saw that they were all made up.

I turned to the middle of the classics, which was also the last page with handwriting. Sure enough, there were a series of ceremonial array structures, various ceremonial rituals that needed to be prepared, and corresponding incantations.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but glanced lightly at the man, Andy. This kid could remember all of this, and he didn't know how many times he went to that store.

The five people kneeling on the ground did not dare to say anything easily at this moment, waiting for Zhao Xu to check the classic.

They were also worried, fearing that if Zhao Xu judged them to be collecting heresy classics of evil gods, they would be charged with a higher level of crime, and even their families would be implicated.

And after Andy told Zhao Xu all the ins and outs at this time, he also thought of the consequences, and his face was even paler than the four who had gone through a life-and-death crisis.

In the end, after looking through it roughly, Zhao Xu determined that this ritual was probably one of the ordinary ancient summoning rituals, which randomly summoned creatures from other worlds.

It's just that this group of young people were unlucky this time, provoking evil alien creatures, so the problem is not that big.

Zhao Xu estimated that when he went back and looked through the library of legends carefully, he should be able to find the corresponding ceremony.

Originally, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene, but there was nothing to gain from this operation, so he could only do good deeds.

However, Zhao Xu, who had just performed the identification technique and learned that this book was different, suppressed his thoughts and said to Andy in a low voice, "Then what are you going to do with this book?"

After hearing Zhao Xu's words, Andy almost jumped up as if frightened. He shook his head and said, "I don't want this book anymore. I plan to throw it into the bonfire and burn it later."

"I feel that there are still some secrets hidden in this book." Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Then let me handle it for you?"

After hearing Zhao Xu's words, the five people who knew that there was a turning point nodded quickly, saying that they would let Zhao Xu arrange it.

At this time, Zhao Xu didn't bother to say anything more to the group of young people who were dying. He told them to remember to go to the Goddess Church for worship after returning home, and let them leave after clearing up their bad luck.

Seeing that the five people ran away in a hurry as if they regarded him like a plague god, Zhao Xu quickly said, "Take this bag away too, and go back and bury it properly."

Only then did the two stronger men retreat and drag the dead goat away.

After the five people walked away and disappeared from sight, Zhao Xu tapped the surface of the "invisible ring" lightly, and his whole body, including the classics in his hand, disappeared immediately.

Zhao Xu also left the bonfire directly, walked to the position near the tombstones, and sat down in peace.

On the earth, Zhao Xu definitely didn't have the guts to do such a thing.

It's just that with the holy emblem pinned to his body now, it's almost as good as something underground.

It was true that the necromancer pulled out the undead creatures from the ground, and Zhao Xu had a way to disperse them back.

Of course, if the people buried under this ground were villains and the ones activated were "Devil Soul Corpse" with challenge level 9, then he still had to avoid the limelight honestly.

Two fireballs can kill undead creatures with an average health value of 90HP.

Zhao Xu, who was happy physically and mentally after doing a good deed, also began to open the book in his hand, which was his harvest this time.

When he appraised it just now, he suddenly discovered that this ancient book actually had an effect.

It's just that it's not just 100 pages long.

Strictly speaking, it has an infinite number of pages.

Zhao Xu had seen many such books with countless pages, and many magic books had this effect. It is more like a search engine. When you think of key words, the corresponding content will emerge from the book.

I don't know who Andy's ancestor looked for in the past, but he missed such an important effect.

Books with unlimited pages are worth a lot of money.

A mage once used this kind of book with infinite pages as a spell book, but the spells would interfere with each other, making them unrecognizable.

The most famous of these is the "Scroll of Ancient Knowledge" created by the second-generation Goddess of Magic in imitation of the final scroll. It is said that the mage who obtained it can use the scroll to prepare a spell that he has not mastered every day, but this book is now missing.

And after even the Goddess of Magic failed, no one would try to use this infinite-page book as a spell book.

At this moment, Zhao Xu gently closed the book and added the title of the book to the cover: Zhong Xia's spell notes.

This classic book with a black book cover, which has never been unusual, suddenly burst into colorful light.
