"Then can it offset the cost of borrowing the teleportation circle?" Qin Lun was a little disappointed, but immediately corrected his mind. No matter how valuable this note is, they still don't have enough time to find the decipherer. The most important thing now is to get the qualification for teleportation.
"Not enough!" The old mage smiled and shook his head.
"Your Excellency, you are deliberately embarrassing us. Aren't the research notes of the Nether Scroll not precious enough?" Idriya frowned and asked indignantly.
"Little girl, don't worry, listen to me!" The old mage smiled and stroked his white beard, "Thousands of years ago, Netheril was the most glorious magic empire in human history, and there are countless magic items handed down from it. Among them, there are also many magical annotations and research notes about Nether scrolls, at least there are tens of thousands of Nether scrolls in Candlekeep."
The old mage paused, and continued, "But not all the records about Nether scrolls are valuable. You all know that Nether scrolls not only record legendary forbidden spells, but also extend a complete set of magic systems. .The magicians of the Netheril period studied Nether scrolls extensively, ranging from apprentice-level zero-ring magic to ten-ring legendary forbidden spells... "
When the old mage said this, Qin Lun and the others already understood. Because ancient magicians have studied Nether scrolls too extensively, not all records about Nether scrolls are high-level magic, and some may only be zero-level apprentice-level magic.
If the magic notes provided by Qin Lun were related to legendary forbidden spells above nine rings, then its value would naturally be immeasurable, but it might just be a piece of worthless zero ring magic.
Compared with higher-level magic, Nether scrolls extended more low-level magic, just like the tens of thousands of related records stored in Candlekeep, most of which are relatively low-value literature records. It's just that this magic note has not been deciphered for the time being, so the old mage said before that he could not judge the true value of this magic note.
A high-value item with a chance of less than one in a thousand is naturally difficult to offset the cost of long-distance teleportation circles. The old mage has good reasons for refusing, and it is not deliberately embarrassing them.
"If you have other matching magic notes..."
"No more, only this one!" Before the old mage finished speaking, Qin Lun shook his head lightly, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly became slightly awkward.
"Then there is no other way. As the gatekeeper entrusted by Candlekeep, this old man must be fair to every visitor!" The old mage put down the parchment with some reluctance, "I hope that when you come to Candlekeep next time, do Well prepared!"
"Dear Your Excellency, please wait a moment! I really only have this one copy of the Nether scroll's magic notes, but I can provide another copy of the martial arts copied from another continent. I hope you can give us another appraisal." Qin Lun said calmly.
"A copy of the martial arts from another continent?" The old mage's eyes lit up, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is it the Karatu continent in the east? Well, then show it out for the old man to appreciate!"
Qin Lun's words surprised Hill and Rand next to him. The three of them knew the basics, but they really couldn't remember what martial arts books Qin Lun brought with him.
The apostle's force system is different from that of ordinary warriors. They can absorb the world law of the skill scroll, so that the body of the law can directly acquire skills.
Compared with the familiarity and mastery of one move and one move, this kind of learning speed is like riding a rocket. Besides, they have to enter the mission world every month, so there is no time to practice. Therefore, no matter how precious and top-notch martial arts books in the other world are, they are just a pile of waste paper to the apostles.
Since it was waste paper, Qin Lun and others naturally would not pay attention to collecting such things, nor would they allow such books to take up limited storage space.
"Qin Lun, don't you want to fool the old mage in front of you, don't be self-defeating, we can think of other ways!" Rand secretly urged in the team channel.
"Of course it's not to fool him. This old guy is a master-level scholar. It's impossible to fool him with a temporary martial arts system." Qin Lun took out a set of bound notes from the storage space, and said with a smile, "Put this thing in In the storage space, I almost forgot about it, and I didn’t expect it to come in handy here.”
"Psychic ability application skills..." Rand glanced at the things Qin Lun took out, and a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.
Back then in the Hunter World, Qin Lun helped the gangsters in Yorkson City snipe and kill the members of the Phantom Brigade, and asked for a set of books on the application of advanced mental abilities from the ten old man.
It's not that he wants to fully learn the force system of mind ability, but because his own killing breath has formed an anatomical blood similar to mind energy, he hopes to increase his understanding of this incomplete mind ability.
Because the dissecting blood has been incomplete until now, so he has kept this set of application technology books. Unexpectedly, it finally has an unexpected use today.
"Hey, this martial skill seems to be a very strange power system, a bit like a knight's fighting spirit system, and it seems to be related to mysterious alchemy... But there are too many changes in it, can life energy really be realized? ?”
The old mage flipped through a few pages of the ability book, and was immediately attracted, his face kept changing, sometimes frowning, sometimes muttering to himself.
The six natures of thoughts, strengthening, releasing, changing, manipulating, manifesting, and traits.
Among them, the four major systems of strengthening, releasing, changing, and operating are easy to understand. They are similar to the vindictive magic system in the world of Toril, but the materialization of life energy and the special system are completely out of this category. I am afraid that it can only be achieved by using magic. Explanation.
Based on the old mage's profound knowledge, it is natural to see that this system of martial arts is very complete and mature, and it is by no means fabricated. However, some of the convincing theories in it are very different from the magic martial arts he understands, and they are even completely different. on the contrary.
"This notebook... is different from all our current understanding of magic and martial arts." The old mage put down the bound book and said, "But... I personally think it is real and has great research value. Are you really willing to keep it in Candlekeep?"
Qin Lun and Rand looked at each other meaningfully. Of course, the martial arts of mind ability and martial arts really exist, but they are not in this world.
However, the statement of life energy can be recognized by the old mage, and it may also have a certain research value for the magic system of the Toril world, but the entire thought power system can never be realized here, because its original world law is different.
"Of course, my lord, as long as it can be exchanged for the right to use the teleportation circle." Qin Lun and the others were overjoyed. The words of the old mage obviously gave them a pass.
"Take back those magic crystal cores, these two notes alone should be enough to offset the cost of teleporting the magic circle, especially the latter note... Well, in order to ensure the fairness of the transaction, I will also give you some things! "
The old mage pondered for a while, and with a single move, a book with a black leather cover flew out from a row of bookshelves on the right, and landed in Qin Lun's hand.
"Knowledge is power. As the gatekeepers of Candlekeep, since you have provided knowledge to Candlekeep, this old man will also give back knowledge to you." The old mage smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, go, this old man will take you Pass the mirror image of you to the guard of the underground labyrinth, and when you get there, someone will guide you into the teleportation array."
Qin Lun bowed while holding the black book, and led his companions into the water mirror magic door behind him again.
"Filar, show me, what book did the old mage give us?" Just as he walked out of the study, Elistine approached curiously.
"You guys want to read it too!" Qin Lun shook the black book in his hand, looking at his companions with a smile.
During this face-to-face communication with the old mage, not to mention the three curious ladies, even Hill and Rand, who had no interest in books at first, became a little curious at this time, wondering what the old mage gave Qin Lun. what book.
""The Memorabilia of Tethyr"?!" After opening the black leather cover of the book, Qin Lun couldn't help but take a deep breath as he looked at the title on the second page.
The dragon slayer - Tethyr, the king of Keldomore, the greatest moon elf king in history, the old mage didn't know what he found on them, and he gave Qin Lun a book about the life story of the legendary elf king biography.
This "Remains of Tethyr" is a personal biography about King Tethyr compiled by the old mage through the many historical documents of the elves stored in Candlekeep.
There is no magic and martial arts recorded in it, but it is a priceless treasure for the entire elves, especially the moon elves. Just as the old mage said, Qin Lun gave him a book on martial arts with great research value, and he also gave back to Qin Lun a most needed knowledge document.
"Reminder: The apostle's team obtained the important document "Tesyer's Memorabilia". After the evaluation of the starry sky, the authenticity of the content recorded in this document is more than 76%. The team has obtained a total of 0.223% world exploration, and the 70053 apostle is among them The individual contribution rate is 66%.”
"You guys are really lucky. A waste manuscript has been exchanged for so many world exploration speeds." Hill said with a wry smile.
The old mage was able to give this "Tesyer's legacy" entirely because of the manuscript of "The Application of Psychic Ability", and Qin Lun accounted for most of the contribution.
"Hehe, this can be regarded as compensation for not getting Bo De'an's treasure!" Qin Lun couldn't help but laugh, the fun of adventure is that you never know when unexpected surprises will appear.
"Dear visitors, the great sage of Alrot has passed on your mirror image to me." Just as Qin Lun and the others stopped in the corridor of the city wall, a young monk dressed simply came to them, smiling He greeted, "Please follow me, and I will take you to the long-distance teleportation array in the underground labyrinth."
"In addition, if you have other books with you, please temporarily store them in the half-plane storage items, so as not to cause misunderstandings by the eternal silver dragon heroic spirit Miremu." The monk glanced at the "Tesyr Memorabilia" in Qin Lun's hand. ", reminded softly.
"The old guy who claims to be the gatekeeper of Candlekeep is actually a great sage!" Even though they knew that the old sorcerer had an extraordinary conversation, everyone still slandered Candlekeep for treating the great sage as a toll collector.
