Human language, Elvish language, and even the legendary dragon language!
The mantras in multiple languages on the stone pillars were cleverly intertwined and interdependent, forming a complex pattern of magic circles. The young man quickly recorded every paragraph of text displayed on the stone pillars with a pen. As long as many words are scanned into the eyes, thousands of words and short sentences will instantly appear in the young man's mind, and he will continue to arrange and combine them and quickly understand their meanings.
"Space blockade, super-level suppression, anti-magic protection┉┉" the young man kept muttering to himself, while his hands quickly recorded these sentences on the paper.
Tick tock~
Suddenly a drop of red liquid dripped down and landed on the manuscript paper in the young man's hand. In an instant, the manuscript paper was dyed with a red spot. It was like an artist who was silent in his creation was interrupted by someone. The boy suddenly stood up and covered his nose. The red liquid was his own nosebleed. Now the nosebleed was flowing continuously like a drop after another. Fall down.
Holding the pen in his hand tightly, the young man took a reluctant look at the many sentences that had not yet been recorded. Finally, the young man suddenly turned around and ran out of the military camp like a frightened animal. As the young man left, the words on the stone pillars slowly began to disappear, and finally peace was restored.
Along with the dripping of nosebleeds, a strong sense of dizziness also followed. After rushing out of the military camp, the boy immediately turned into an uninhabited alley. It was only then that the boy finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if his whole body was paralyzed. He leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to sit on the ground.
"Damn it! Damn it! Why - why am I so weak and incompetent?" The boy's eyes looking at the darkened sky were full of resentment, anger and hatred towards himself.
After resting for a while, when the nosebleed stopped flowing and the dizziness disappeared, the boy took out the necklace and looked at the gem that had lost its luster. Holding the gem tightly, the boy supported his weak body and stood up step by step. He walked towards his hiding place. It was in an underground waterway somewhere in the lower reaches of Liberty City. Because it was originally built, it was located under a bridge and was very hidden, and the intricate structure inside was difficult to discover.
After walking in the waist-deep waterway for more than ten minutes, the boy pried open a fence and climbed in. Then he restored the fence to its original position. Only then did the boy finally relax completely. Climbing through the short passage, the boy finally returned to his hiding place, an abandoned room that had been placed in the waterway for unknown years. Initially, judging from some of the things left in the room, this room should have been the workmen who originally built the waterway. It was used to store construction materials and tools. It was completely abandoned after the waterway was built. No one has been there for countless years.
Now, a simple wooden bed has been placed in this originally abandoned room. A bookshelf filled with various books, a table and an oil lamp. In addition, on a table on the other side were scattered some instruments and materials used for magic experiments, as well as a huge skull that had turned into white bones.
"Longa~I'm back."
The young man lit the oil lamp and saw at first sight the dark and terrifying head on the table under the dim light. However, the young man did not have any fear in his expression. Instead, he spoke in a gentle and longing tone as if he had seen a close relative. Calling the head's original name softly.
Claire! This is the name of the young man. This name used to be a slightly unknown existence, but now this name is almost resounding throughout the free city, because the young man is carrying a bounty worth millions of Lien! The city security team, the big businessman Philibers, the arena champion Gerkat, and almost everyone who offers a reward for the boy's capture are all formidable presences in the free city. And precisely because of this. In order to get money, power and the opportunity to be handed over to the upper echelons of the free city, almost all bounty hunters and mercenaries were searching for traces of the boy with red eyes.
After taking off the mask, what was revealed was a face that was almost half rotten and hideous. Half of the face was like a black honeycomb, full of holes. The cracked lower jaw revealed dark teeth, and the eyeballs almost exploded. Eye sockets are the same! It can be said that if anyone sees this face, he will always have a new kind of nightmare in his dreams.
Claire took out the necklace and lay on the bed to rest. The beautiful gem on the necklace exuded mysterious power to lure her soul. Claire's mind couldn't help but replay everything that had happened before, and her destiny had undergone unimaginable changes because of this gem.
I know what happened that night is still fresh in my memory. Longa's last roar seemed to still be echoing in her ears. At that moment, Claire felt how pathetic her powerless self was in this world!
Just like that, he stood quietly in the audience and watched the well-dressed nobles and wealthy people hanging Longa's head on a high shelf for public display. Watching Gerkat who killed Longa accept the reward given to him, at that time, I could only watch all this silently, and could only choose to escape and suffer the pain quietly. Only after Longjia's head had to be thrown away and buried because of its rotten stench, could he quietly run out of the city late at night and dig out Longjia's head.
One night, Claire held the rotten and shapeless orc head in the cold wind and cried bitterly. However, the tears could no longer flow out of her burned eyes. From that moment on, Claire's heart was filled with hatred and anger. Forgetting Longa's last instructions and the fear in her heart, Claire took a vow of revenge and vowed to destroy the big businessman Feili who enslaved herself and Longa. Bos, the arena champion Gelkate who killed Longa, and this city full of twisted cruelty!
Claire's only support now is the gem in her hand. But every enemy he has to face is an existence beyond imagination. Gemstones have unimaginable power that can strengthen the holder's physique, create things out of thin air, and break spells. However, this power cannot be contained by a mortal body. . Claire knew very well that even if she could use this gem freely now, even the powerful Longa could not withstand the power of the gem and finally lost to Gerkat. As a small human being, she did not dare to expect that the gem could strengthen her. The body transcends the level of Gerkat.
What Longa said always kept ringing in Claire's ears.
Unable to defeat her opponent physically, Claire had to choose another method. The power of gems can strengthen a person's physique, but can it also affect the brain
Claire used herself as a test subject to activate the power of the gem bit by bit. When the light seeping out of the gem entered her mind, Claire felt that her brain was running rapidly like a cleaning operation, and she had a photographic memory. The memory, accurate and rapid chain thinking ability, and compared with the huge burden brought by using gems to strengthen the body, the strengthening of thinking seems to be much smaller.
With the help of the power of gems, Claire hid her figure and traces and sneaked into the city library to steal many books on magic. During the reading process, Claire also discovered a strange power possessed by gems, which is that it can provide holders with Decipher and assist in the understanding of various kinds of knowledge.
I have to say that this discovery made Claire look at the gem again. This power has shown that the gem itself may store huge knowledge principles. It only needs to follow the holder's will to mobilize the knowledge inside for the holder. Used. Just using gems for a long time to understand many unlearned knowledge also comes with a price, that is, the brain will gradually become sleepy, and sometimes it will even be accompanied by slight pain.
Witnessing Longa's last moment of death, Claire knew clearly that although the strengthening of the mind is not as heavy as the strengthening of the body, over time, one day it will exceed the limits of her body, so Claire will not do it until necessary. Try to use the power of gemstones as little as possible.
Meditation, eating, studying, sleeping, these have become Claire's daily routine. The boy has learned everything useful at an alarming speed. To kill Felibos and Gerkat, it is not just about being strong. Force, spells, and poisons can all be used as a means to achieve the goal. If you can't compete with them physically, then you can transcend everything and defeat them in the field of magic.
After living in the waterway for so long, Claire would study during the day and quietly go out and steal some necessary daily necessities at night, including clothes, food, drinking water, and some materials that can be used for magic research. In order to avoid suspicion, Claire would always choose some small chambers of commerce. Take action. Until recently, Claire finally completed a simple illusion barrier to completely block the entrance to her room. At the same time, Claire also learned several elementary magics. Although they were all level 1-3 magics, from a person with no knowledge of magic at all, From a slave to a mage who can use magic freely, it only took about a month for Claire to achieve all this.
For an ordinary person, even if he was born in a magic family, has a good bloodline, and has been educated in magic theory since he was a child, if a human wants to get rid of the title of apprentice and successfully use the first level 3 magic, it will be at least It took about ten years, and the youngest recorded mage on the mainland who could successfully use level 3 magic was also a person who completed this record at the age of 11, and this mage is now the leader of the Tower of Sages. The one who is the Great Mage Farroun! (To be continued...)
