Arcane Journey

Chapter 91 Arcane Inheritance
In the quiet stone house.

Brian, who returned to the tavern from the red dragon's lair, slowly opened the gold-plated spell book on the table.

Accompanied by the faint aura of the spell prohibition, he raised his hand and canceled the above restriction.

This spell book is exactly the 'Book of the Forgotten' that he obtained in the mansion of the missionary mage.

The characteristics of this book, in addition to allowing him to go to any spellcaster's research or proprietary arcane for free, it also has another powerful ability "hidden knowledge".

This ability allows him to put any books or scrolls that record arcane knowledge into the spell book, guide the hidden power in the spell, and enable the holder to master these obscure and mysterious knowledge at a faster speed .

Bryan guessed that the reason why this book can analyze arcane knowledge without hindrance, apart from the author of this book, combined with the magical knowledge and experience of many preaching mages, is also inseparable from the extraction of the essence energy of the magic net.

It's as if you input a huge knowledge system into the computer, and then use a network cable to connect it to the Internet.

When you encounter knowledge that you don't understand, you can use computer search to obtain detailed analysis methods of knowledge.

After all, the magic net is an essential element of the whole world. It runs through all things with silk threads that are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Any spells and arcane knowledge will be invisible in front of the magic net.

Therefore, the "Book of the Forgotten", which possesses the original power of the magic net, possesses powerful analytical capabilities.

To put it simply, the ability of "hidden knowledge" allows him to quickly understand those knowledge systems that take a lot of time to master at the cost of consuming experience points.

For example, a Nether scroll in his hand.

If Brian studies at his own pace, it will take him at least a month to finish reading the knowledge in it.

As for whether it can be mastered, it needs years of research or attempts.

But having the 'Book of the Forsaken' is different.

After finishing the battle in Kou Tao murloc town, Bryan spent 20000 experience points on the way to Aldus King City on a keel boat to use the "Hidden Knowledge" ability of the "Book of the Forgotten" to analyze the Color resistant scroll.

It only took him five days to fully understand the huge knowledge system hidden in this scroll.

Looking at the spell book that had been analyzed, Brian immediately began to transfer knowledge.

Suddenly, when the huge amount of arcane knowledge flooded into his mind, he was a little unbearable for a while, and his headache seemed to explode at any time.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a moment, and then quickly receded like a rising tide.

After a while, Brian put the Nether Scroll stored in the spell book on the table and checked the situation of the spell book.

As he expected, in addition to a legendary spell that has not yet been resolved, this magical spell book also adds arcane knowledge about the scroll of Nether.

Brian leaned back in his chair, while checking his system prompts, while slowly recalling the huge knowledge system in his mind.

As he absorbed all the introduction to the secret arts recorded in the Nether scroll, he found that he had acquired some additional abilities.

"Naishi scroll is finished reading!"

"Acquire the background specialty "Arcane Inheritance"! "

"Acquire personal specialty "Arcane Shaping"! "

"Spellcraft +3, Knowledge (arcana) +2, spell saving throw +1."

…………

Seeing these new abilities acquired, Brian's expression changed, and he checked immediately:

[Arcane Inheritance (Background Specialty): Magic is wild and mysterious, diverse and practical. Its power prompts mortals who want to master its mysteries to continuously research and explore, and even yearn for the power of gods who shape reality at will.

In the vast country of Tianyu, the tradition of studying arcane arts has a long history, and can even be traced back to the period when mortals just discovered the existence of magic. Its complicated study system has gradually been transformed into different traditions of thought, and has been passed down forever .

You have mastered the unique arcane system and basic principles of magic of the Nether Scroll. This rich knowledge system is the basis for magic used by the intelligent races developed in the entire world. However, with the loss of the Nether Scroll The magic treasure is also lost.

The moment you master this scroll, it means that you have shouldered a great mission of collecting and passing on arcane knowledge.

Gain a special ability: Sense the fall of color-resistant scrolls.

When a full scroll of netherchrome appears within 1 foot of yourself, you have a special telepathic connection to it.Remarks: This ability will greatly increase the range of perception as the number of color-resistant scrolls obtained increases. 】

…………

Looking at this newly acquired background inheritance, although he only gained the ability to perceive the color-resistant scroll, and the distance is only 1 foot (33cm), Brian's heart was shocked at the moment.

Just like the introduction of background expertise, from the moment he studied the scroll, he had already accepted one of the greatest inheritance missions.

A few seemingly plain words made him feel a heavy sense of mission.

He faintly felt that if he really collected all the Nether scrolls, he might be able to jump out of the world outside the crystal wall system and witness the mysterious and vast multiverse in the true sense.

"Could it be that since the Nether Scrolls were lost, everyone who collects and studies the Nether Scrolls will gain this special ability." Brian looked at the golden scrolls on the table and whispered to himself.

At this moment, he suddenly believed in a legend about the source of Nether Scroll.

The knowledge recorded in the scroll is very likely to be an encyclopedia of multiverse magic civilization compiled by the ancient interstellar colonizer "Lawweaver" organization after integrating countless magic civilizations in the multiverse.

Otherwise, it would not have given him such a heavy mission as if it had life.

"But the Netheril Empire has prospered for thousands of years through the magical knowledge of the Netherese scrolls. Why didn't they discover the real secret of the scrolls from the beginning to the end." Another doubt arose in Brian's heart.

After thinking about it, he felt that even if he wanted to break his scalp, he might not think clearly about this issue. With that time, he might as well read a few more magic books to make it more realistic.

Because he had a hunch that as he continued to collect Nether scrolls, this secret would naturally surface.

Then he put away his thoughts about the scroll of Nether and looked at another feat he had acquired.

[Arcane Shaping (personal specialty): The magic knowledge you have mastered has given you the deepest understanding of the energy shaping magic of the Evocation School. In front of a hundred spellcasters who are proficient in the Evocation School, you It is also the most outstanding existence.

When you cast a spell channeled in the form of energy from the evocation school, you can cause the spell to take on another new shape without affecting the spell's damage or properties. 】

Looking at the introduction of specialties, Brian finally understood that it is not that he can obtain a specialization just by studying a Nether scroll.

The main reason why he obtained this feat is the knowledge recorded in his nether scroll, which is the magical knowledge of energy, killing and destruction of the evoking school.

With the two complementing each other, he obtained this ability naturally.

"Arcane Shaping" doesn't seem to be very useful, but Brian knows that the more this specialty does not increase any damage value or give other characteristics on the surface, the higher its growth potential will be.

Because this specialty is a specialty with a high degree of freedom, it means that he can use the characteristics of this specialty to develop various unique operations.

Take the three-ring evocation spell "Fireball" as an example.

Under normal circumstances, the release method of this spell is that a large fireball hits the enemy group, like a grenade, producing a violent explosion.

With the "Arcane Shaping" specialty, he can completely release this big fireball in various shapes such as sharp arrows, cones, and squares.

Although the damage is still the same, the flight trajectory, blasting point and other elements caused by different shapes will produce unpredictable changes.

Bryan continued to look at the third ability, which was the increased Spellcraft and Knowledge levels, as well as spell immunity.

He wasn't surprised at all by these extras.

Because the fifty Nether Scrolls can be divided into five sets, as long as you have a deep understanding of the knowledge recorded in each, you can get some extra benefits.

For example, the simplest introduction to secret arts, if you master all these ten cards, you will not only randomly get a powerful special ability according to your specialization field, but also make your spell recognition +30, knowledge (mystery) + 20. Spell save +10.

It can be seen from this that if he has in-depth study of all fifty Nether Scrolls, how many extra powerful abilities he will gain.

However, for Brian at this moment, these things are nothing at all.

Because the most precious thing has already been put into his mind.

In the realm of creation, one of the three major realms of the Arcanist, he has mastered all the knowledge about energy, destruction, and killing.

As long as he is given enough time, he can even use this knowledge to develop his own spells.

Unfortunately, although he really wanted to find a quiet place to digest this knowledge, the current conditions did not allow it.

Only after he has settled all the affairs of the Aldus King City, can he think about and study how to go about his future arcane path with peace of mind.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he heard a knock on the door.

Brian waved his hand, and the door opened automatically.

It wasn't the goblin-bronze goblin who was after the Dilro that appeared, but the sword-mage Hesaiah.

Brian nodded slightly to her and saw her coming with light steps.

"Bryan, is this the scroll of Nether?" Hesaiah first noticed the golden scroll on the table, and asked curiously with a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

"That's right, I didn't expect you to know each other." Brian replied thoughtfully.

In fact, he put it on the table on purpose, just to test whether this noble lady recognizes her or not.

After all, the mage tower technology of the Kingdom of Cormyr is quite famous in the entire continent.

Therefore, he seriously suspected that the Kingdom of Cormyr, especially the Grand Duchess Raul of Araby City, had knowledge about the scrolls of Nether.

If not, how could their mage tower have the strength to compete with the ghosts, and even the lord of the ghost city would not dare to easily set foot in the domain of the mage tower.

It is a pity that until Araby City was destroyed, he had no chance to get in touch with the core secrets of the Mage Tower.

"Of course I know." Hesaiah pondered for a moment, blinked his eyes twice, smiled at him, took the scroll in his hands curiously, and said, "To be precise, I have actually seen this scroll with my own eyes."

Hearing this, Brian glanced at the other party calmly, only to find that the noble lady deliberately put a pass on her and said nothing.

He knew that Hesaiah was probably waiting for him to change his words, and it was very possible that he even took the opportunity to raise a few conditions.

He thought about it, and decided to keep her words in his heart for the time being, and when he had time, he would think of a way to get the matter about the Nether Scroll out of her mouth.

"If you are ready, let's go." He put away all the scrolls and spell books, and said to the sword mage.

The cute and silly red dragon Argotus has already been taken care of by him. He only needs to convince the stone giants in the Smoke Crystal Cave, and they can go directly to the residence of the King of the Deep to watch the righteous extermination of relatives performed by the gray dwarf prince.

In this case, his underground adventure will come to an end.

Therefore, he can still figure out which is more important.

After leaving this sentence, Brian stopped talking, got up and walked out of the house.

Seeing that Brian didn't answer his own words, Hesaiah gave him a depressed look, and finally followed behind him obediently.
