Chapter 1098: Introduction to Elementary Magic
"Don't worry~ Tell me, young man, what are you going to look for in the Magic Library? Maybe I can help you find it. Larquet smiled and said in a self-contained manner. Alfie's heart moved, maybe Larquit could really help.
"By the way, you're the librarian of the Magic Library, so you know all about the books here, right?" Alfie pretended to be a daze, but quietly changed the subject.
"Of course, you don't want to think about how long I've been here, I've been a librarian since the beginning of the Magic Library!" Larquit looked reminiscing.
"You've been here since the beginning of the Magic Library?" Alfie asked, startled, in disbelief.
The Magical Library is much older than the Empire. During the War of the Races, at the height of the magical civilization, a group of like-minded Terran Sanctuary magicians chose Catania, which was still a barren land at the time, to establish the prototype of the Magic Academy.
At that time, the war of all races was in full swing, and the famous Otto the Great and others had not yet stepped onto the stage of history, and the rulers of the continent were still the elves. In that era when the Sanctuary was everywhere, these Terran Sanctuary mages could barely attract anyone's attention.
The first thing the Academy of Magic did when it was established was to build a magic library, and several Terran Sanctuary magicians at that time were far-sighted and clearly aware that their strength might not be ranked at that time, but they had a consensus, that is, the power of knowledge is unlimited, as long as there is enough knowledge inheritance, sooner or later, the Academy of Magic will cultivate excellent magicians and lead the Academy of Magic to stand on the top of the continent.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Academy of Magic, no one could have imagined that this inconspicuous magic academy would become the magic cradle of the entire human race, and many super magicians who later bloomed in the Great War of All Races were cultivated here, and the most famous one of them was the first person in the continent later, the witch Bi Xiute.
However, due to discord in philosophy, Bi Xiu Te withdrew from the School of Magic, but in any case, this was once Bi Xiu's alma mater.
Now that Larquit actually said that he was already here when the Magic Library was established, wouldn't that mean that he was even older than Bishut? If you think about it further, he may even be one of the Terran Sanctuary mages who established the Magic Academy!
Thinking of this, Alfie couldn't help but be in awe of Larquite, no matter what his true identity was, as long as he didn't lie, then he could be called the oldest "creature" on the continent, and it was very likely that only Count Delacoural could compare with him, and even the black dragon Dearnet didn't live as long as him...... Of course, if his current ghost state could be considered alive.
"Can't believe it? Actually, I can't believe it. "Actually, I'm wondering why I've lived so long?"
"Hehe, you must have a secret to longevity that others don't know. Alfie laughed dryly twice, he didn't believe Larquit's ghostly words!
Knowing that immortality is the common goal pursued by almost all intelligent beings, even the newly enlightened magical beasts are no exception, Larquat said that he himself did not know why he lived for so long, and no one believed it.
"Where is the secret. Larquette smiled bitterly, "If there must be one, it's that I read a lot more books than others~"
"What kind of secret is this?" Alfie couldn't help but spit in his heart. If Larquet's ghost words are true, then the world's longest-lived group should be magicians, after all, every master magician is extremely knowledgeable, and almost all of this knowledge comes from books.
It's a pity that throughout the history of the Ariant Continent, even the most powerful magicians have not lived longer than three thousand years - this is just the average level of all the powerhouses of the Holy Domain, and it is said that the lifespan of a beast powerhouse like the old lion Leos has reached four thousand years old!
"I wonder how you got into this, uh, ghost?" Alfie asked as soon as he saw that Larquit was talking.
"Oh, I can't say that either. I just remember one day, I was leaning back on a wicker chair in the warm sun and reading a book......" Larquit showed a reminiscing expression, Alfie listened attentively, thinking that he was about to hear a legendary story, but then Larquit came directly to a divine turn, "and then I closed the book and got up from the chaise longue, my body was left on the chaise longue." β
!!Is this the end?" Alfie's eyes widened, and she cried out in her heart: 'I don't read much, don't fool me!'
Alfie has obtained part of the inheritance of the soul god, and can be regarded as a god descendant of half the soul god, as far as he knows, a person wants to transform into a ghost state, it needs a lot of harsh conditions, the most common are three, one is with the help of some powerful props, such as Kress is transformed into a ghost after drinking ghost wine; another is with the help of the power of the soul magic array, after sacrificing a lot of bloody things, it is possible to transform into a ghost; the last is that after the necromancer cultivates to the extreme, he can transform himself into a lich, which is actually a high-level ghost formγ
There is no such thing as Larquet who separates the soul from the body after reading this book. Could it be that the purpose of that book? Alfie's heart moved, and she asked softly, "Do you remember what book you were reading at the time?"
"Well, it's just a beginner's introduction to magic. Larquit's unthinking answer almost made Alfie go straight away.
'Introduction to Elementary Magic?, are you kidding me?' Alfie almost couldn't help but snarl as she grabbed Larquit's collar. If he finds evidence that Larquit is teasing him, Alfie doesn't mind washing Larquit's face with his own saliva.
Alfie was almost certain that either Larquit was teasing him, or that Larquite's transformation into a ghost really had nothing to do with "Introduction to Elementary Magic", otherwise it would not have been possible to explain Larquite's natural and quick answer.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Alfie confirmed, holding back his anger.
"How could I be mistaken? You see, I have always held this book in my hand and was reluctant to give it up. Ralquette waved at Alfie, who noticed that he was still holding a book with the words "Introduction to Elementary Magic" written on the cover in an ancient magical language.
Although Alfie didn't know this ancient magic language, as soon as he saw these words, he knew the meaning of these words, which was amazing!
What surprised Alfie even more was that this book was not an ordinary physical book, but a ghost book that was very similar to the ghost state! Alfie had never heard of such a ghost book!
