Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1167 - 655: Nais Scroll_3
Chapter 1167: Chapter 655: Nais Scroll_3
Even a tree that lives for two thousand years becomes extraordinary, not to mention a Great Arcanist who possessed supreme strength two thousand years ago.
Gaven feared that once he confronted the other party, all his secrets would have nowhere to hide.
However, as his strength gradually increased, Gaven realized his initial concerns were unnecessary. At the level of these ancient beings, which one hadn’t tumbled through other planes? They’ve probably seen plenty of ’Children of the Planes’, so to them, he was merely a variable from Toril, representing a possibility. Until he grew into matching strength, he was nothing at all. They wouldn’t slaughter indiscriminately over this; if they did, Toril would be the first to fall into chaos at their hands.
Even through the layers of misty veils, Gaven could clearly feel the conflicted aura emanating from Philancy, who finally nodded and said, "That’s right, my mentor is Ms. Tabola, the last student of Ioleum. As for other matters, don’t ask too much, and you’re not allowed to seek help from my teacher or inform her of my current situation. If you dare to do so, you will never see me again."
Since Gaven knew the name Tabola, it implied he was aware of her whereabouts, something Philancy naturally intended to eliminate.
"Understood." Gaven wisely chose not to ask further. It was evident that the mentor-student relationship was troubled, seriously so. It wasn’t hatred; what he sensed from Philancy was more guilt and remorse. Ever since he developed the perception-based special ability Wine for Friendship, along with improving his utilization of negative energy, his perceptive ability had become very strong.
"Let’s start analyzing the Dream Sending spell," Philancy said, clearly not wanting to dwell on the issue and shifted focus.
As she spoke, she moved to the Scroll of Ioleum. As her magic power infused the book, the spellbook, large beyond belief, turned its pages on its own. The magic runes on it seemed to come alive, detaching and floating above the book.
These magic runes, swiftly manipulated by Philancy’s slender fingers, were dismantled into rune formulas of various lengths, many of which were very similar to the spells of the first and second circles.
With such disassembly by Philancy, a complex Fifth Circle spell like Dream Sending was made simple. Gaven only needed to forcefully memorize these basic rune formulas and the sequence of low-level spells he already mastered. Quick memorization was now his forte, the most direct benefit of his extremely high intelligence.
Clearly, Philancy was not just preparing a simple Dream Sending of the Fifth Circle, but rather disassembling and reassembling it, integrating the structural concept and basic operational data of the Dragon Oak Dream Realm that she had just acquired from Gaven, to build her own dream realm.
Philancy’s dream realm was like software, while her Mage Tower and the Scroll of Ioleum would provide hardware support. The process of parsing the Dream Sending was also the initial phase of constructing her dream realm.
In the end, not only the Scroll of Ioleum was flickering with numerous magic runes, but the entire Magic Cottage lit up as well. Rune after rune emerged from the bricks and stones, and as the sequence of these runes was adjusted, the positions of the bricks and stones also began to shift and rearrange.
The Mage Towers of mages could not possibly be built of ordinary bricks and stones; if they were, they would be mere stone towers where a mage lived and not qualified to be called Mage Towers.
Indeed, any construction that earned the title of Mage Tower would involve bricks and stones that had been harmoniously enchanted by the owner of the tower. Basic magic runes were inscribed within. When these bricks and stones were assembled into a building, activating various special abilities and magical capabilities was natural.
And this was just the most basic Mage Tower. Those powerful mages, to grant their Mage Towers an inexhaustible source of energy, often ventured into various Elemental Planes, capturing all kinds of potent elemental creatures, then used them as the core to establish a Mana Draw Formation within their Mage Towers, thereby drawing elemental strength from the Inner Planes for their use.
This is why Mage Towers, whose owners have died hundreds or even thousands of years ago, continue to operate, and their various powerful magic traps remain active. If left undisturbed by external forces, such Mage Towers could theoretically exist indefinitely.
The highest-level Mage Towers, like Philancy’s Magic Cottage, not only possess the above features but also have components that could adjust to a certain extent according to the owner’s will, producing different special abilities. Such Mage Towers are often serendipitous and not obtained by seeking.
Because the energy core supporting this kind of Mage Tower is no longer composed of various imprisoned elemental creatures, but rather more unique and more potent existences, such as divine artifacts.
The energy core of Philancy’s Mage Tower was the Scroll of Ioleum. As the reassembly continued, a vast suction force emerged, pulling in countless Ether Mists forcibly, making it part of itself.
Previously, the Ether Mist was like an invisible chain that imprisoned the Mage Tower, but now the situation was reversed.
Gaven wondered if it was his illusion, but it seemed like a significant portion of the misty power shrouding Philancy had also been forcibly extracted. What once was separated by countless layers of veils was now just a single thin layer, frail enough to burst with a poke, kindling the innate desire to peek at what truly lies behind.
Unfortunately, even when Philancy finished reassembling her Mage Tower, that last layer of mist, thin as a veil, remained thinning but never fully dissipated. Gaven, who hadn’t fulfilled his wish to see the true face of the Legendary Arcanist, didn’t feel too annoyed or dejected. If the problem of the Half-Plane of Fear could be so easily resolved, it wouldn’t have such a notorious reputation on the Felen Continent for so many years. Nonetheless, Philancy’s current state indicated they had found the right direction; it was just that their current power was too meager to break these bindings.
