You are all my wings!

Chapter 357 Machiru: You'd better be prepared for a long battle, I can be very fierce!

Everyone suddenly realized why there were such powerful alchemical monsters guarding it; it turned out this was a place where important documents were stored.

After Iris finished purifying Kekeqi's wounds, her complexion had almost returned to normal, and she opened her eyes.

Leon simply carried Kekeqi on his back.

Although he was carrying Taenia, he was the most agile and strong among everyone present except for Mshifisu, and it was obviously inconvenient for him to carry Mshifisu, so he took the initiative.

"Brother, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Kekeqi said weakly.

"It's alright. If you hadn't lunged just now, Machiru would probably have been injured too. And the protective gear behind you is obviously more suitable for blocking this, right, Machiru?"

Lyon laughed.

Maggie snorted, "Fine... I'll thank her! But don't even think about her touching my head!"

This guy's gotten a bit arrogant too.

Leon carried Kekeqi on his back and held Tenia in his arms as he walked forward into the darkness ahead.

After walking seven or eight steps, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a large, quiet room piled high with various paper books, documents, and files.

Maggie went up and began searching.

Mark and Milo led the guards while the rest of the men sneaked in to investigate.

This place is huge, covering an area of ​​about a thousand square meters. It is filled with various books whose cover styles are obviously from ancient times. The covers are all made of hard sheepskin. If you open them at random, you can see all kinds of tadpole-shaped ancient characters that you can't understand.

Lyon searched for a long time but could only recognize two of them, or even just a portion of them.

One is the ancient Elven language, and the other is the ancient Dragon language.

He was able to recognize these ancient languages ​​mainly because he had sought out learning channels to study the mysterious scripts of these two races when he first awakened his memories.

Although I haven't fully mastered it, I can still use it without any problems.

Last time, he had used his familiarity with the mysterious script of the Elven race to activate the soundproof magic circle set up by Iris.

In this world, the longer something called cryptic script is passed down, the better its effects become.

Lyon was not entirely clear about the mysteries involved; he only knew about the phenomenon.

Thanks to this, he doesn't need anyone to set up his advancement ceremony; he can handle it himself.

Another key reason why ordinary adventurers find it difficult to advance on their own is their lack of ritual knowledge. Even if they accumulate enough, they will get stuck at the ritual level and can only continue to advance by relying on powerful forces.

Of course, this library clearly contains a lot of books on rituals, magic, and even combat techniques. If all of them could be taken away, it could obviously become the foundation of a new power.

Lyon has no intention of building a large power, but he won't let this information go.

After all, what if we could find something as good as monster muscle resonance magic again?

After searching for a while, Leon found Maggie standing in front of a large book, nodding as she read it, so he went over to her.

"You learned your divine magic from a magic book?"

After looking at it for a while, Lyon realized that although he didn't know the words, the magical imagery inside was magnificent and grand, so he guessed.

"It's not this one, but it is indeed a book of divine power magic, and it's an epic-level divine power magic. I only remembered up to the legendary-level divine power magic before, I didn't expect there to be epic-level divine power magic here."

Maggie's eyes were serious.

Lyon counted them briefly, and the number of these images was indeed astonishing, nearly three thousand, a truly terrifying number.

Generally speaking, intermediate-level magic consists of a dozen or twenty magic images, advanced-level magic consists of a hundred or so primary magic images, king-level magic consists of three to five hundred magic images, and legendary-level magic consists of more than five hundred but less than one thousand, a considerable range.

Epic imagery, on the other hand, ranges from over a thousand to within three thousand.

The difficulty increases with each tier. At the same tier, spellcasters can easily defeat warriors in the later stages because the difficulty of learning the skills varies greatly.

Only a few exceptionally gifted warrior classes, like Ophimaso, who can master combat skills as easily as eating and drinking, can surpass most spellcasters.

Of course, each time a spellcaster advances to a higher rank, although they do not unlock mental power, their mental and learning abilities will be enhanced; otherwise, they would not be able to continue advancing.

However, the extent of this improvement often depends on talent, training methods, and opportunities. Therefore, the number of high-level spellcasters will decrease proportionally, and the probability of learning the next level of magic will become lower and lower.

The majority of the renowned legendary powerhouses on the contemporary mainland are warriors.

As for the difficulty of combat skills, it mainly depends on the skill of manipulating magic power and physical strength. Being able to integrate magic power and physical strength into a refined intensity of one to ten in an instant is basically the level of a superior combat skill. One to one hundred is the level of a king-level combat skill. One to three hundred is a legendary combat skill. One to five hundred is an epic combat skill.

Because combat skills mobilize more of the physical body's power, the refinement ratio is much lower than that of magical images.

Of course, as magic progresses to higher levels, it can mobilize more of the world's power to participate in the magical reaction, which makes it even more powerful and destructive.

"What script does this Divine Might magic use? It looks like ancient Celtic script."

Lyon asked, "The script here is somewhat similar to that of the elves."

Maggie glanced at Leon in surprise, not expecting that Leon also recognized the characters.

She can recognize them mainly because Andrio did a lot of decryption work. The Divine Might Magic she learned before was a decrypted version. In order to learn more and then learn it on her own, she can recognize most of them.

"Yes, this is ancient Celtic language. It is said that the ancestors of humans and elves were originally ancient Celts. Some of them interbred with pure-blooded dragons, differentiated, and slowly evolved into humans. Others interbred with divine species and evolved into elves. This divine magic is called 'The Power of All Things,' which is a divine magic built with racial evolution as its core image. It is very remarkable."

She explained, a glint of excitement in her eyes. With this, she had paved the way for her advancement to Epic rank.

"To be honest, I didn't know you knew so many ancient characters."

"Don't be surprised, I only recognize runes related to dragons and elves."

Lyon shrugged:

"Remember to teach me this when you have some free time, Machiru."

Upon hearing this, Maggie's eyes lit up. Seeing that everyone was engrossed in their spellbooks and hadn't noticed them, she whispered:

"If you keep your promise from last time, I'll teach you."

Lyon chuckled to himself. How could he possibly refuse such a good opportunity?

"I just found a suitable, quiet place where we won't be disturbed. Let's meet here when we go our separate ways."

He secretly used his magic to transmit his voice, telling Magiru about the secret location he had discovered. Magiru's eyes lit up, and her previously slightly downcast mood lifted.

"No problem, but you'd better be prepared for a long battle, I'm very fierce!"

Chapter 358 The Legendary Alchemist, Moretsus

The group originally intended to empty the entire library, but unfortunately, compression equipment couldn't compress the books. After all, compressing books would damage them, while meat could be compressed and made into meatballs.

So in the end, they each picked out some of the more valuable items to take with them, and decided to deal with the rest after the battle was over.

Things like life alchemy, divine magic, experimental records, school history, modification registers, slave records, etc., will naturally be taken first.

"Magical, what were you whispering to Leon just now?"

Iris walked over and asked, seemingly casually.

Machiru said calmly, "He's asking me about ancient Celtic language and life alchemy. How about it, are you interested in learning together?"

"I have no interest in life alchemy; it's too bloody and cruel. Besides, I can speak ancient Celtic myself."

Upon hearing this, Iris quickly waved her hand.

The tragic fate of that half-elf boy left a deep psychological scar on her.

"Really? That's such a shame."

Maggie secretly exclaimed, "Thank God!"

Iris, the most likely spoiler, has left the stage prematurely!

So all that's needed now is to keep it from Britta's eyes and ears!

She was certainly aware of the flirtatious exchange between Britta and Lyon, and knew that he was a formidable opponent who needed to be guarded against.

Fortunately, the other party is bound by her status as a saintess, so theoretically she should be safe.

As for the likes of Zekechim Silphis, she considered them no match for her at all.

In other words, she's going to be the first to get a shot!

The more she thought about it, the more excited Maggie became.

Originally, her expectations about this matter were very distorted. At first, she felt inferior and dared not have children, but now her mindset has changed, and she can't wait to get pregnant as soon as possible.

However, she also knew that this would be quite difficult. On the one hand, her bloodline was already contaminated, and theoretically she was not a normal human being. Cross-species conception was inherently more difficult than conception within the same species.

Although there is no reproductive isolation among the intelligent species in this world, it still requires a bit of luck and continuous combat to separate a species.

So when Maggie Lu told Leon that a protracted war was needed, she was also saying it to herself.

She intends to quietly solidify her position as the empress!

……

Beside her, Iris pretended to be indifferent, but in reality, she was secretly sneering. "Magical, no matter how hard you try to guard against me, I have already successfully spent many pleasant nights with Leon."

What difference would it make if I let you talk to Lyon a few more times today?

I only didn't follow you around all the time because you seemed depressed when you revisited the place.

Heh heh, experience the gentleness and thoughtfulness of the real number one!

……

In the distance, Kekeqi saw Iris staring at a magic book that was clearly very difficult to understand, her face showing several question marks as she suppressed a laugh.

The legendary Radiant Light Elise, Iris, was so noble and aloof, how come she's starting to look more and more like a funny little girl?

Oh, people often laugh at me too, it's okay.

……

Mshifisu fought fiercely and remained vigilant, charging ahead at the forefront.

Basically, she killed most of the school's dead, followed by Leon.

M'shifisu was so serious because she had discovered many imprisoned halfling children along the way.

As a halfling with a strong sense of racial mission, she was extremely angry to see these halfling children being imprisoned.

And those who vented her anger were naturally the resistance fighters along the way.

Although this school is called the headquarters, it is ultimately a force that mainly operates through shady and unethical channels, so it naturally has far fewer high-level experts than regular troops like them.

While the details of other routes are uncertain, Lyon is certain that their journey here has been smooth and fruitful.

As for Britta, she remained silent the whole way, only continuously emitting holy light.

Leon knew she had most likely been told something by Moriarty, but this wasn't the right time to ask. He could only fight first and talk about it later.

……

At the same time.

Although Tumoria's team didn't have as many skilled fighters as Lyon's, they were almost unstoppable.

However, just as they were about to penetrate deep into enemy territory—

boom!!!!

A sudden burst of dark, cold flame engulfed Tumoria's team.

Screams and cries of pain rang out one after another.

As the flames died down, all thirty-two people present, except for Tumoria and her sixth-rank paladins, collapsed to the ground, their faces seemingly shrouded in black mist, their bodies radiating astonishing heat.

Tumoria and the sixth-tier being were able to escape unscathed mainly because Tumoria sensed the danger at the critical moment and used her quasi-mystical treasure to create a holy light shield.

Due to the urgency of the situation, she could only protect her strongest sixth-tier subordinates, while the rest were beyond her reach.

"You have every reason to be proud that you survived my king-level magic."

Ahead, a pale-faced, thin, elderly, handsome man in a long black robe slowly emerged from the cave entrance, holding a sixth-tier magic wand.

Clearly, this person is the renowned leader of the Holy Blood School, Moretes.
