"The Jade Record itself was created by the dwarf alchemy master Du Lin, and the Alchemy Guild has always been the descendant of the Du Lin family, and it is understandable to hand it back to the Alchemy Guild. 2. Fan Jianda took a sip of beer and reached out to wipe the overflowing wine foam from the corner of his mouth, "Back then, my master Nikolai. Mailer was just a scribe in a Parisian bookstore, and an unknown pawn in the profession of an alchemist. One day in 1357, a customer suddenly came to his bookstore, claiming to be selling a book. In fact, at that time, printing had not yet reached Europe, so it was not strange to sell books that you no longer needed in bookstores, and then have people copy them and sell them. ”

"When my master read the book, he was stunned by the contents! There are some strange symbols and words, as well as some symbolic illustrations, this kind of book is incomprehensible to ordinary humans, but Master Mailer is an alchemist, although he can't see through it, but he knows that this is a very precious alchemy book, so he didn't bargain, and directly bought the book for the price of two florin gold coins. ”

"This is the Jade Record that is now in your master's hands?" Long Yun asked.

"That's right, speaking of which, this is not the original version of the "Jade Record", because the real "Jade Record" is engraved on twelve jade stone tablets, which is just a remnant rubbing. Due to the illegible handwriting on the above, many places were added by later generations according to their own imagination. Just like our Chinese "Analects", after Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, the original of the "Analects" was completely burned, and what was circulated in later generations was only the "Ancient Analects" and "Lu Analects" recorded by word of mouth and memory, which can be regarded as branches. ”

"If, according to what you said, someone has obtained this Jade Record before, then why haven't the people of the Alchemy Guild appeared?" Long Yun was puzzled.

"I also asked Master Mailer about this, and he gave an explanation." Fan Jiandao: "Before my master, there was a very legendary alchemy master named Raymond. Lul, this man is Spanish, but he died before my master was born. It is said that he pursued this "Jade Record" all his life, and traveled to the Middle East and Africa several times to find his whereabouts, he once lived in France and England, and it is rumored that he used alchemy to refine six million gold coins for the then King Edward, and then he wrote a study book on the fifth element, which attracted the attention of the leaders of the Alchemy Guild, at that time the people of the Alchemy Guild had doubted whether he had obtained the "Jade Record", so they sent an elite to find Lull, but he did not expect that he had left England, It is said that he went to the Middle East again. ”

"The Alchemy Guild wants to find someone, I'm afraid it's not difficult, right?" Long Yun said: "They are good at intelligence. ”

"No matter how good the information is, it's useless!" Fan Jian pursed his lips and drank another can of beer, "When Luer went to the Middle East, he passed through Morocco to do private business, but he was seriously injured by an unknown person, and died there not long after. When the people from the Alchemy Guild track it down, it's all over. They didn't find the legendary "Jade Record" on him, so they had to go home. ”

"I seem to understand a little bit when you say that." Long Yun said: "Emotional Luer really got the "Jade Record", but after he was seriously injured, he knew that his life was short, so he hid the book? ”

"I don't think so." Fan Jian said: "At that time, Lu Er was not an ordinary alchemist, if he really got the "Jade Record", then even if he did not thoroughly understand it, he would always be much more powerful than the ordinary alchemist, you look at Zuo Chen, so young, just because of the study of the "Jade Record", his current alchemist attainments are completely comparable to the sage-level masters in the Alchemy Guild, and it will definitely not be inferior." ”

"Where did the book go?" Long Yunqi said.

"Big brother, isn't this simple? Of course it was taken away! Fan Jian burped and opened another bottle of beer, "Since that person was able to kill Luer, he was naturally not an ordinary person, and he must also be the best of several ancient races." Moreover, Lul did not expect this fate before he was killed, and of course the book was not hidden in advance, he was just an alchemist, not a saint of your Moriah, and could not predict the future. ”

"If someone got the "Jade Record", why didn't any outstanding people in the alchemy world appear later? Rather, it's your master? Long Yun suddenly chuckled and said, "Could it be your master's doing?" ”

"Of course not!" Fan Jianjian retorted nervously: "Lu Er died in 1316, my master was born in 133o, even if my master can kill people in his mother's womb, he won't even be a sperm at that time." ”

"Hmm-" Long Yun touched his chin, and it was right to think about it, it didn't seem to make sense.

"Actually, it's very simple, the reason why the person who took the "Jade Record" failed to achieve a great career is because he himself died." Fan Jian's tone was full of detectives: "Do you know what the most powerful weapon of a dwarf is?" ”

"Alchemy!" Long Yun snorted and said, "Do you still need to ask?" ”

"Yes, but not entirely." Fan Jian said: "An alchemist who has reached the master level or above, in fact, the most powerful killing method is the curse technique. But the curse spell is a death spell, which is considered an evil spell among alchemists, and even if it is used, it will pay the same price. Therefore, alchemists generally do not use curses, preferring to rely on weapons made of alchemy to kill people and defend themselves. I told you before that before the Doomsday War, there was an alchemist named Itri who followed one of the Atlantis to the world, and established a base in ancient Egypt to find Amon, the god-level figure of Atlantis? ”

"That's right, you said it." Long Yun nodded.

"So, there were also sorcerers in ancient Egypt who learned these curses, and in the years that followed, when Hermes reorganized the Jade Record, he began to rebuild the base that had been destroyed by the fire of the Doomsday War, which is today's pyramid complex, and those seemingly peaceful tombs actually hide many invisible curses." Fan Jian said: "For example, in 1923, the British explorer Rhodes . Lord Canavon led his expedition to open Tutankhamun's mausoleum in the pyramid, only to die six months later in a hospital in Cairo of an ominous cause. His son later recalled that his father had been burning for 12 days in a row, and at 1:50 a.m., the nurse came into the house to tell me that his father had died. When I walked into his room, the lights in the whole hospital suddenly went out. He immediately sent someone to inquire about the power company, but the power company could not provide a reasonable explanation for the sudden power outage. ”

"How does it sound like a lame ghost story?" It was already dark, and Long Yun joked: "If there is a beautiful and timid girl next to you now, you say that these are also very effective, but I am a big man, it is useless to tell me this." ”
