The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard
Episode 975: Library of Darkness (3)
“Has he already entered the library?”
The dungeon of level 8 warlock Shan’dorei Tillian.
A huge baby lying in an obsidian coffin was facing Oliveira.
The sight of a tall woman with her back behind her back and a transparent veil fluttering beyond the colorful makeup.
Tillian, who was staring into the darkness of the dungeon’s hallway with a bitter expression, spoke softly.
“It took me over 20 years to understand Nox Biblio and to be able to enter and leave freely.”
[He is a person born with good sense.]
Oliveira answered slowly.
[I don’t think I have much inspiration about him, but he has a spirituality blessed by heaven.]
“…It’s amazing. “I can’t believe you praise other people’s talents so much.”
Tillian laughed.
“Didn’t you say that talent and destiny are fleeting standards and that you would try to change them?”
[It was like that,]
said Oliveira.
[If there is an ultimate standard for a demon city, I am not foolish enough to deny it.]
“….”
[The ideal point to be reached while looking back on the whole world. Regardless of our wishes, it may have existed somewhere from the beginning.]
“Hahaha… That’s ridiculous. Maze.”
Tillian, who was looking at her with a helpless expression, muttered.
“I can’t believe you, and no one else, can now say such things. “Time is so fleeting.”
[….]
The warlock laughed and Oliveira responded, but the sentiments of the two people were not much different.
Not only Oliveira but also Tillian, who attended the meeting, knew how unrealistic Lennok was.
Even if we do not delve into his movements in detail, the time he has lived serves as a standard for estimating the size of the vessel.
A nobleman of the central city. An unprecedented monster that has built up military power and magical aptitude surpassing that of the highest-ranking apostles of the church in less than 10 years.
[If this guy’s talent is what I’m guessing, it won’t take long for him to adapt to the rules of the library.]
Oliveira’s eyes flashed as he crossed his arms between the coats of arms.
[Perhaps you and I can meet the owner of the library, whom we have never met before.]
“Yes, I understand that you have higher expectations for that wizard than you can even imagine.”
Tillian chuckled.
“So what’s left for me to do? “After using my favor to open the library door, is there still anything you want?”
[No.]
Oliveira answered, taking a step forward.
[But considering our relationship from a long time ago, I have one final piece of advice to give.]
“Hehe… It’s advice.”
Tillian shook his head.
“Okay, try it. “I can guess what you’re going to say now.”
[If you don’t want to die, stop using the Fragments of the Extinct Tree.]
Beyond the veil, Oliveira’s eyes shone coldly.
Her gaze was focused on the dry tree branches that hung tightly around the obsidian coffin.
[If you had seen Azamaha’s failure, you would have known. The permanence you want does not exist there.]
“….”
[The city government is not trying to revive the fragments of the extinct. They just want to create biological weapons in preparation for war. Above all…]
Oliveira said, slowly tilting her head back.
[That is a power granted only to the King’s bloodline. Even King Myeong himself is now a product of the extinction tribe who has given up on succession.]
“Yes. “I know… I’m not part of that family.”
Tillian said that and slowly stood up.
As soon as the giant baby stood on its feet inside the obsidian coffin, the tree branches connected to the coffin shook violently.
Jjuwaaap!!
A sound as if something was being violently sucked was heard, and Tillian’s body began to contract on the spot.
Bones, muscles, joints and flesh. You can hear the bones and nerves being compressed and shriveling, and the body is mutating in real time.
“What I learned was the old world’s hex arts. “It will not happen that the King’s black magic shares the world line with my magic.”
Tillian, who had transformed into the shape of ‘something’, walked out of the coffin and said.
“But what does it matter? “Anyway, all cause and effect in this world is twisted and distorted.”
[….]
“Nothing that connects the beginning and the end will exist in the future. “Then wouldn’t it be okay if I took his place?”
Tillian forced a smile and whispered.
[Substitute…]
“The ascension necessarily ends before the end of the world comes… That’s because the ritual is not essentially a ritual directly linked to ascension.”
Tillian said in a gloomy voice.
“Therefore, the fate of the King of Heaven may be, on the contrary, closer to ascension than anyone else in this world.”
Tillian whispered to Olivia, who was silent.
“I want that power. “I want to have the talent and destiny that I built through death.”
[….]
Gooooo…!!
Tillian slowly walked forward and muttered with a mumbling sound.
“So don’t interfere. Oliveira. “I will swallow everything for you before the ending you are waiting for.”
[This is the ending I’m waiting for? What you said was wrong.]
Oliveira lifted one hand forward and at the same time lifted the veil with her hand.
Oliveira muttered coldly, looking at Tillian with Chilchaebo’s magical eyes.
[I have never once waited for something.]
* * *
[I am done here.]
In the endless darkness.
Lennok, who was walking along the hallway of the library, stopped in front of the bookshelf pointed to by the skeleton librarian.
The skeleton glances back at Lennok and quietly steps aside.
There seemed to be a faint smile mixed in with the gaze looking at him, but it was impossible to read the skeleton’s expression.
[In front of this library, the minds of the librarians are forced to shut down. This is to prevent our minds from being polluted by incomprehensible information.]
“….”
[I hope that your wishes come true….]
With those words, the glow in the skeleton’s eyes as it looked at Lennok slowly faded.
As if he had lost his will and had become a machine that only responded to commands, he silently passed by Lennok and concentrated on organizing.
However, instead of entering the library where the skeleton had guided him, Lennok looked behind him in silence.
Was that skeleton librarian mistaking someone else for Lennok?
Or did Lennok of the past really visit this library at some point?
There are so many possibilities I can think of that I’m not sure of the answer.
In the end, as the librarian said, it’s just a problem that can’t be known without checking the column in person.
Rattling.
Lennok, who was pondering, took out a grimoire from the bookshelf.
A bookshelf guided by the librarian. Among them, the book is relatively closest to reach.
This must be the book that the skeleton librarian said someone looked at most often.
[Seal of Destiny: Àΰú¿ªÀü]
“….”
The title of the book, half written in understandable characters and half in incomprehensible characters.
Lennok frowned and immediately turned the page.
====
õ¸®ÀÇ ¹Ù´Ù¸¦ Áö³ª
¼¼¹øÀÇ ¸ê¸ÁÀ» °Ç³Ê
¿øÀξøÀÌ Á¸ÀçÇÏ´Â °á°ú¸¦ ã´Â´Ù.
³ª´Â ¾ðÁ¦³ª ¿©±â¿¡ ÀÖ´Ù.
I leave this message on the other side of the fourth.
====
On every page of the book are letters written so bizarrely distorted that you can’t even understand what they mean.
Only the last phrase has been translated into legible characters.
After thinking that far, Lennok understood why he could not decipher the title and contents of this grimoire.
“…is it a grimoire from the old world?”
It was not a character used in this world to begin with.
If it was written in the form of a magic formula, it would be understandable, but as soon as it was expressed in characters from the old world, it became unintelligible.
As Oliveira said, finding the desired magic information in this dark library depended only on the user’s knowledge.
‘It’s difficult, but it doesn’t mean there’s no way.’
There were only indecipherable letters everywhere, but Lennok was unfazed.
Oliveira told me to ‘rent’ a celestial technique to distort the veil’s orbital cycle from this library.
That would be possible because the celestial magic that exists somewhere in the library exists in a form that Lennok can understand.
Lennok immediately folded the grimoire and placed it on a bookshelf and began to calmly look at the other bookshelf in the library.
Sara rock!!
I passed by a shelf of grimoires written in letters that would pollute my eyes just by looking at them.
You also pass a shelf piled with bundles of parchment with strange drawings instead of text.
Jar Statue Animal fur and beast’s horn.
Ignore all antiques that are old enough to make you question whether this is a library or a museum.
What is important is whether Lennok can understand and interpret the form.
That moment when I was just thinking about that in my head and looking around at a fast pace.
Rattling.
When he realized that the skeleton librarians who were wandering around the library were all looking back at Lennok, he stopped.
“….”
Everyone who was carrying the book just stared at Lennok in silence, blue flames twinkling in their eyes.
A strange appearance, as if he had finally recognized Lennok’s existence and was seeing his movements.
When Lennok stood still, the skeletons began to move slowly, one by one.
Once again, I slowly organized the books, sorted the parchments, and moved the bookshelves to adjust the position of the library.
For what reason did they discover Lennok? What triggers do skeletons react to?
Lennok stopped and thought for a moment and suddenly realized that a letter had appeared beneath his feet.
[Do not run in the library.]
“….”
A warning so absurd that even Lennok, who had been slightly tense just a moment ago, smiled bitterly.
However, as soon as Lennok saw this warning, he was convinced that his guess was close to the correct answer.
Unlike the books written in incomprehensible characters around us, the warning message that appears under our feet is written in letters from the continent.
It is a phrase written in a script and language that Lennok can understand.
There must be a grimoire or magic information written in characters that Lennok can interpret somewhere in this library.
“…good.”
Lennok found a bookshelf with a grimoire written in characters he could recognize.
It was so far back that he couldn’t even remember the path he had taken the first time, but Lennok didn’t pay any attention to it.
Anyway, the space of this library is not made up of three dimensions, so even if you remember the path and retrace your steps, you will not be able to find the exit.
In order to physically escape this library, we’ll need a different method.
“The title of the book is….”
[The three great curses that Acramuchu guarantees with his name and property status]
[The concept and definition of witchcraft. And how to distinguish between magic spells pretending to be hexes.]
[How did Stout become the coolest warlock in the ancient continent?]
“….”
I didn’t know it when it was written in strange characters, but the title of the book of magic is quite familiar. does not exist.
Did the warlocks who produced the grimoires also put in some effort to get their students or successors to read the books?
Lennok, feeling the humanity of the ancient warlocks in an unexpected place, looked around the bookshelf with a shocked expression.
[Black God Demonic Art]
[Dark Demon Gate]
[888 Trigrams Spellcraft]
“Are you replacing the role of the microcosm by filling your body with darkness? “It’s how to become a magician and a warrior…”
Even the grimoires that seem quite serious have several books or parchments that contain quite fascinating techniques and spells.
Although the entire content is not written in legible characters, if the proportion of strange characters is less than half, it can be read by guessing the context.
“Meditation in the dark for 49 days. If you pull out both eyes and memorize a spell, the eye without the pupil will grow on its own… To awaken reverse vision….” “
The method of murder that killed 100 people is to take the blood of 100 people and do ablution for 100 days. If even one person dies, training starts again from the beginning….”
“According to feng shui, the techniques that can be used are limited and the low power of a specific system is raised to four times….” The
idea itself is befitting the name of the Hex Magic Archive. It is full of bizarre or unusual techniques that go beyond imagination.
The idea and training method were so foreign that even Lennok was absorbed in looking at the grimoire for a while.
However, if I continue to be absorbed in looking at grimoires like this, I will end up reading books in the library for the rest of my life.
It’s unfortunate, but it makes sense to move on with just a few tricks that seem useful.
[Black God Demonic Art], which fills the entire body with darkness and replaces the microcosm.
[Hellfire Phantom Bow], which manipulates unquenchable flames into the shape of a weapon.
Lennok picked out only two grimoires that seemed useful right away and started walking right away.
Unlike when I first entered the library, I feel as if I am fully aware of the direction and location and there is no hesitation in my walking.
From the moment I looked at a few readable grimoires, I was able to recognize the clear ‘regularities’ that existed in this library.
‘The grimoires and parchments collected here are not stored without any rules.’
It is clear that Nox Biblio’s magic is not randomly classified, given that there is a grimoire that Lenno can read.
Isn’t the existence of countless skeleton librarians managing this dark library also to periodically classify and manage the library’s grimoires?
The important thing is to understand the regularity and guess where the information Lennoc wants is likely to be located.
Black magic. curse. Necromancy and martial arts. Contract of darkness. Magic attack.
In addition, the information that Lennoc can find in the information and flow of all kinds of magic classified as magic is –
“This is the place.”
[Celestial Art: Model Garden]
A thick booklet with only a short title and no modifiers.
A small drawing that looks like a star hanging in the night sky is scribbled under the cover of the book.
The magic contained in this grimoire is a celestial magic that will change the orbital period of the veil and provide a way to enter the Apocalypse City.
It must be the way to Kundara that Oliveira mentioned.
All that remains is to rent this grimoire like Oliveira said.
However, when Lennok picked up the book and opened the page, his expression suddenly frowned as if he was embarrassed.
===
In the name of Chicheon, who embraces and watches over the sky.
¸ðµç º°ÀÌ ¿ì¸®ÀÇ ¼Õ¾È¿¡¼ ȸÀüÇÏ¸ç ºû³ª³ë´Ï.
¸ðÇüÁ¤¿øÀ» ¸¸µé¾î ±× ¾Æ¸§´Ù¿òÀ» ¿µ¿øÅä·Ï º¸Á¸ÄÉ Çϸ®¶ó.
===
Unlike the title of the book, most of the text was written in unreadable strange characters.
I’ve passed through all the books written in strange characters so far, but if the celestial magic is written like this, I’m in trouble.
“….”
Why can I understand the title of the book but not the actual text?
Why is this grimoire written with two different characters mixed up in the first place?
Should I ask Oliveira for advice on this, or do I need someone else to decipher the text?
Since the opportunity to enter the library is limited, you must make a quick decision here.
As Lennok was pondering while holding the grimoire, someone’s voice rang softly from behind him.
[Is interpretation necessary?]
“…!!”
Jeonseong has a strong will that is on a completely different level from that of the skeleton librarian we met earlier.
Kugwagwagwa!!!!
The moment Lennok’s face hardened at the voice that rang out without any warning, the bookshelf split in two and turned into a huge road.
At the end of the dark street, there is a mountain of parchment and books.
Among the piles of books, someone with his back turned was quietly tilting a pen.
