Probably seeing what Xing Yun was thinking in his head, the martial arts instructor coughed lightly twice and said to Xing Yun: "Don't underestimate the Ancient Magic Book too much, the Ancient Magic Book is a very dangerous magic book that records powerful ancient magic. It is also a book of mysteries that mortals cannot open."

"Because this Ancient Magic Book is too dangerous, its previous owner, Ermina, sealed the Ancient Magic Book, tore the map with the location of the seal into four pieces, and handed it over to our four sages for safekeeping, hoping that we would bring the secrets of the Ancient Magic Book to the coffin," the martial arts instructor explained to Nebula in detail.

At this time, Xingyun on the side was very curious and asked the martial arts instructor, "Then why did you exchange the map fragments of the Ancient Magic Book for me cheaply like throwing off a hot potato!?" Unopened power crystals are at most 800,000 gold coins, and the two together are only 1.6 million. This is simply a free gift for people of our level, right!? ”

"The captain is right, it's really weird!! And ~~~ Isn't the Ancient Magic Book a dangerous item that Ermina has worked so hard to seal? How would you feel comfortable handing us the fragment of the map with its location? Juta echoed Nebula with her hands on her hips.

The martial arts instructor hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice to Xingyun and Yuta: "Something as dangerous as the Ancient Demon Book naturally can't be handed over to you two stinky boys. But if it's handed over to the Alcaster guy, I'm relieved. Although his strength is not very strong, he is also one of the best scholars in the entire adventure world when it comes to the study of magic. ”

"If it were him, maybe he would be able to find a way to seal the Ancient Demon Book again," the martial arts instructor muttered to himself, stroking his chin.

After listening to what the martial arts instructor said, Xingyun and Yuta looked at each other, and it was difficult to ask anything for a while.

Nebula and Yuta realized that they were afraid that they were being caught up in a dangerous mission

A few minutes later, after Nebula calmed down, Nebula took out two smelted power crystals from the spatial ring, and handed them to the martial arts instructor with a slight tremble.

After the martial arts instructor accepted the power crystal of Nebula, he handed a fragment of an ancient map to Nebula, and then said to Nebula in detail: "This is the map fragment marked with the hidden location of the Ancient Magic Book, and the map fragment should have emitted a faint blue light. But a few days ago, when I went to the warehouse to look for something, I found that the light on the map fragments had disappeared!! This means that the seal of the Ancient Book of Magic has been broken! This is a big deal, I originally wanted to discuss with the other three sages how to solve this matter, but I didn't expect to meet you by chance."

"Now go find the sage of the Enchanted Forest! I'll tell him what happened, he's usually in the magic library in the magic jungle~~~ I have other things, so I'll be rude first. With that, the martial arts instructor left the hospitality room of the Warrior Temple, leaving Nebula and Yuta with stunned faces.

After Nebula and Yuta came to their senses, the two of them immediately activated any door and teleported to the Enchanted Forest. Nebula and Yuta followed the vines and thick branches, and within minutes they had climbed to the magical library at the top of the middle of the enchanted jungle

After Nebula entered the magic library, he found that Mr. Hans had come to the door to wait for him, and after a brief hello to Nebula, Hans took Nebula and Juta to a closed hospitality room.

Hans scratched his head and said to Xingyun very embarrassed: "I have heard from the martial arts instructor, why do you always encounter dangerous things!?" Do you know what the Ancient Magic Book is? It's a magic book that records forbidden magic from ancient times! The ancient magic recorded in the book was enough to destroy the world, and it was too dangerous for it to be sealed by Ermina. ”

"You two little devils listen to me! Once you've collected the map and obtained the Ancient Magic Book, don't open it! It is like the Greek mythology that circulated in the headquarters of the earth's defense, and it is the box of Pandora in myths and legends. Turn it on, and bad luck will befall you, just like Ermina, who is dead," Hans told Nebula and Juta very sternly.

Nebula asked Hans curiously, "Teacher! Do you know what's in the Ancient Magic Book? With the strength of your four sages, can't you still open a book? ”

Hans let out a long sigh and said to the nebula: "It's not that I can't open it, but I don't dare to open it~~~ When I saw Ermina's tragic situation with my own eyes, I dispelled the idea of opening the Ancient Magic Book"

★?????????????????? ★

It happened more than thirty years ago, before Miss Kaylin of Notellus had landed on Treasure Island

I went on an expedition with the martial arts instructor, Daklu, and Helina to the underground palace of the warrior tribe of St. Renia. Although we are already old, we have not forgotten the spirit of adventure.

Together, we used our strength to forcibly defeat the guards of the underground palace, used our wits to break through the near-insoluble magic circle, used our agility to capture the key placed in the traps, and relied on luck to find the right path among the nine forks in the road.

Eventually, we broke into the deepest part of the underground palace and obtained the legendary Ancient Magic Book. I was so excited that I wanted to check the contents, but I couldn't open them at all. At first, I thought it was because I was old and I was a weak magician, so I couldn't open it.

As a result, the martial arts instructor, Daklu, and Helina were unable to open the mysterious magic book.

Just as we were feeling lost, I suddenly remembered that there was a powerful magician in the Sky City, Ermina.

Ermina's strength exceeded two hundred levels, and at that time she was the strongest magician on the surface of the adventure world. And she also has some achievements in magic research, and should be able to find a way to open this magic book.

So, after a little discussion, we decided to visit Ermina in the Sky City together.

A few days later, we arrived at the city in the sky, found Ermina and explained where we had come. When Ermina first saw the Ancient Magic Book, she became intrigued by it and began to try to open it.

At first, Ermina was unable to open the Ancient Magic Book. Later, after many experiments and researches, Ermina found a shortcut to open the Ancient Magic Book.

On that day, Ermina was going to open the Ancient Magic Book, so she invited the four of us to her magic laboratory, ready to open the legendary magic book in front of the four of us.

After Ermina drank a bottle of the Supreme Wisdom Elixir and the Supreme Spiritual Amplification Elixir, the huge spiritual fluctuations she emitted were almost substantial.

Ermina grabbed the edge of the Ancient Book with both hands and opened it little by little

The four of us were very excited to see the golden soft light that was reflected from narrow to wide when the Ancient Magic Book gradually opened.

It's like witnessing a miracle

Yet—halfway through Ermina's opening, her immense magical power and almost materialized spiritual power began to be devoured by the Ancient Magic Book.

Ermina let out a terrible scream, and the huge magic power and powerful spiritual power followed Ermina's body and was sucked into the half-opened ancient magic book.

In just a minute, maybe not even a minute, the strongest magician Ermina was drained of her magic and spiritual power by the ancient magic book, and became a waste

With the spiritual power and magic power of the god level and the effect of the elixir of youth, Ermina usually appears in front of everyone, almost always in the image of a thirty-year-old beautiful woman.

Ermina, who relied on powerful magic and potions to maintain her body, quickly aged the moment she lost her mental power. In a matter of seconds, Ermina went from a beautiful ******** to a gray-haired old woman.

It was so sudden that all four of us were stunned.

Ermina looked like she had seen something terrifying, and she looked overly frightened.

After a long silence, Ermina came to her senses and said in a hoarse voice to the four of us, "The Book of the Elder Magic is a Pandora's box that must never be opened!" I've paid for my curiosity, and I hope there are no more victims for this'

With that, Ermina offered to seal the book. The four of us didn't object, after all, this book is too dangerous!

If it is not sealed, there may be other victims.

Two days later, Ermina completed the seal of the Ancient Book of Magic, and tore a map glowing blue into four pieces in front of us.

Let the four sages keep the map of the location of the Ancient Magic Book, and ask us to help guard the seal of the Ancient Magic Book.

When the blue light emanating from the map is extinguished, it will be the day the seal is broken. At that time, the four sages must take on the responsibility of sealing the Ancient Book once again, leaving the dangerous Ancient Book silent in darkness once again

★?????????????????? ★

After listening to Hans's story, Nebula and Juta felt creepy for a moment.

It's just a magic book, and it can actually kill a two-hundred-level magic god in an instant!? How much more than the Ancient Book of Magic is dangerous? It's a big killer, isn't it!?

Yuta even opened her mind and thought: if the black mage was given a glance at the ancient magic book, would the black mage also lose all his magic and mental power like Ermina?

"What happened to Granny Ermina, the teacher!?" Nebula asked Hans with his head bowed and a little heavily.

Hans raised his head slightly and said to Nebula, "When a magician becomes a god of law, he should be able to live for a thousand years without accident. As a god of law, Ermina has only lived for more than three hundred years, and she is not yet dead. ”

"It's a pity that she has lost all her magic and mental power, and there is no way to stop her body from aging and declining, and she died a few days later, and we buried her bones in a flat ground deep in the icy plains on the outskirts of the frozen snowy region." Hans shook his head and replied to Nebula.

Nebula suddenly said to Hans, "Could it be that I found this ring in the small tombstone of the Ice Plains?"

"That's right! The ring in your hand is the magic ring that Ermina usually wears, and we once had a dispute about the ownership of this ring. However, since she herself has passed away, we don't know how to use the ring, so we decided to bury it in the grave with Ermina," Hans said with a sigh as he stroked his slender white beard.

Hans came to the window and looked away for a while, then turned to Nebula and said, "You found this ring and fell into your hand. I don't know if it's accident, or fate~~~ In short, you must keep this magic ring, maybe it will be of some use when looking for the ancient magic book"

(Add some original~~~~ so that it feels smoother)
