"Eh …" Lin Yun was stunned. He naturally knew that the person Shawn was talking about was the member of the 3rd Dynasty's royal family that left behind a Bloodline Curse in the hovering palace, and that person was most likely Baiers. He was bewildered as he said, "Didn't the 3rd Dynasty's royal family leave behind a Bloodline Curse after they died? Sir Shawn, are you mistaken? If that person didn't die, how could he leave behind a Bloodline Curse?"
"He indeed died once. Merlin, you should know something about Bloodline Curses, it would save me the trouble of explaining everything." Shawn shook his claws, looking somewhat impatient.
"Yes, of course I know." Lin Yun nodded. "It's the power of their bloodline, and the more direct the bloodline, the stronger the curse …"
"When I said he was still alive, I meant that his soul still exists. Moreover, based on the strength of the Bloodline Curse, he had the power of a Heaven Rank powerhouse when he was alive." Shawn had already impatiently explained, "Merlin, what should be done is done, what should be said is said, hurry up and give the mana crystal to Sir Shawn."
"Hold on …" Lin Yun suddenly recalled something and pointed at the shivering Solan. "Sir Shawn, help me do one last thing and I'll give you the mana crystal, you can …"
"Fuck!"
Hearing Lin Yun's request, Shawn directly cursed, but for the sake of the mana crystal, he had no choice but to follow Lin Yun's instructions and immediately walked towards Solan.
"You, you … Don't come over …"
Solan was already scared out of his wits. It had only been a few hours since Shawn appeared, but his fear of Shawn had already surpassed that of Lin Yun. Because he was bound by the Flame Shackles, his body's recoil had become extremely slow.
By the time he reached the corner and couldn't take half a step back, despair could be seen on his face. Then, an afterimage disappeared in front of him, and at the same time, he fainted.
"Merlin, making a deal with you is really painful …"
Half an hour later, Lord Xiao En's figure reappeared, and he couldn't help but grumble again.
"Lord Sean, you didn't kill him, did you?"
Lin Yun looked at the motionless Solan on the ground and couldn't help frowning. Solan's aura was dispirited, and there were no wounds on his body. However, his eyes were empty and lifeless, just like a corpse. He was a bit worried that Shawn wouldn't be able to control his strength and kill Solan.
After all, Solan was still very useful to him.
If he were to be toyed to death, all his efforts would be in vain …
"Don't worry, Lord Shaun knows what to do …" Lord Shaun rolled his eyes. After taking the mana crystal from Lin Yun, he turned into a cloud of smoke and entered the Soul Walker.
After returning to his desk, Lin Yun took a few books from the side and patiently read them. Most of the books didn't contain profound magic knowledge. Just as he was about to put the books back, he suddenly noticed that the Book of Death that had been calmly lying in his pocket was showing some changes.
Lin Yun was stunned. He immediately took out the Book of Death and carefully looked at it for a while. It was indeed somewhat abnormal. Usually, when he wasn't rousing the Book of Death, it looked like an ancient book, and even its mana fluctuations were very weak. But now, it was flickering with a black light.
'What's going on …'
Lin Yun frowned. He had never encountered this kind of situation. Among the few Magic Tools he had, the Book of Death had been with him the longest, and it had the greatest potential. Once he gathered those key Components, it would become an Extraordinary Magic Tool!
Moreover, the Book of Death wasn't as simple as it looked on the surface. Heaven Mage Bane spent his entire life researching the Book of Death, but he still couldn't come into contact with its true secrets.
The Book of Death could be said to be Lin Yun's core Magic Tool. Any change could affect his nerves. The sudden change of the Book of Death made him ponder as he sat in front of his desk.
'Could it be that a key Component appeared?'
Lin Yun's eyes shone, his gaze burning with passion. After all, the key Components of the Book of Death were all True Spirit Magic Tools, and their value was even higher than ordinary True Spirit Magic Tools. As he thought of this, he put away the Book of Death and left his desk before carefully looking for it.
Even if it was only a guess, he wouldn't let it go. After all, it was a key Component of the Book of Death!
Lin Yun was especially meticulous with his inspection of the bookshelves. He flipped through every book, not letting go of a single corner. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything even after half an hour, but the Book of Death in his pocket showed no signs of stopping … This made him frown. The entire study was so big, and after flipping through it, he didn't find anything of value, let alone the key Augment of the Book of Death.
'Where could it be …'
Lin Yun sat back down at his desk, feeling somewhat anxious. He sorted out his thoughts and started sizing up the study's layout. There were a total of four bookshelves, close to a thousand books, and the only thing left was the desk in front of him. He was almost certain that there were no hidden compartments in this narrow study room, because he had checked every wall not long ago, and there were no alchemy arrays or traps.
'But the Book of Death wouldn't create a phenomenon for no reason …'
Just when he was puzzled, the four books at the edge of the four bookshelves attracted his attention. Based on his impression of the four books, he gradually remembered that the contents of the four books seemed to be related to space …
After discovering this clue, he immediately grabbed the four books and bent over his desk. He flipped through the four books page by page and spent more than ten minutes to roughly read through the four books again. He reached for a stack of draft paper and a quill pen and began to calculate.
He knew Luo Ning's style of doing things, so he had already guessed something.
This might very well be Luo Ning's test!
Although the spatial magic knowledge recorded in the four books was not very profound, dissecting the formulas one by one and trying to assemble them was an extremely huge project. 99% of mages would unhesitantly give up in such a situation, because in their eyes, such a huge amount of calculations was simply impossible to complete.
But Lin Yun was different.
He had already grasped Luo Ning's way of doing things when he was in the 12th Floor of the magic tower. Luo Ning was a guy who liked to go to a dead end. Some simple things would immediately become incomparably complicated in his hands. Thus, Lin Yun didn't have to take many detours in his calculations.
Take the assembly formula, Luo Ning would boldly try to fuse two formulas. Naturally, some of them succeeded, while others ended in failure.
Just the six-formula Equilibrium Law Set that Lin Yun obtained contained many innovations, some of which no mage had ever come into contact with during the peak of the Magic Era. This was all thanks to Luo Ning's boldness and daring to try.
After more than six hours of calculations, Lin Yun's wrist was a little sore. At this time, he finally put down the quill in his hand. His desk had long been filled with waste paper. Even a Heaven Mage would be stunned by such a huge amount of calculations being completed in six hours.
But Lin Yun did it.
He stretched his waist and moved his sore wrists, frowning as he walked around the study. In a short few minutes, he had circled the small study, and when he reached the middle of the two bookshelves, he suddenly stopped. He frowned and chanted an incantation. In an instant, the Doom Staff in his hand flickered with a silver light as he softly waved it in front of him.
It was really just a light slash.
But what was inconceivable was that after the slash, Lin Yun extended his hand and fiercely grabbed it. Fierce mana fluctuations suddenly spread from his hand.
"Element Chapter!"
He was suddenly startled when he saw the thing in his hand. It was a crystal ball the size of a mana crystal with four different colors. Moreover, as Lin Yun tightly held the Element Chapter, he could feel four different energies flowing within the crystal ball. They were earth, water, fire, and wind. But these four energies didn't seem chaotic within the crystal ball.
He already recognized what it was.
The Element Chapter could be said to be one of the core Augments of the Book of Death. He really couldn't believe that the Element Chapter was actually in Luo Ning's magic tower.
At this time, he was pleasantly surprised to the extreme.
'Luo Ning is truly a genius …' Lin Yun sincerely praised in his heart. When he obtained the Element Chapter, some of the questions that had been troubling him were automatically solved. In the hovering palace, he had encountered magic beasts whose mana crystals contained the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind. At the time, he had been very amazed and suspected that those mana crystals had been made by someone.
Now, it looked like it was indeed the case. It seemed that Luo Ning had made those mana crystals according to the principles of the Element Chapter.
This was also the reason he praised Luo Ning. Throughout Noscent's entire magic civilization, no one had ever tried to put four elements together to make a mana crystal. Moreover, they had even successfully implanted the mana crystal into the bodies of magic beasts. And those magic beasts that had their mana crystals replaced would still be able to cast normal spells.
This was an innovation that would make one speechless.
Lin Yun even wondered if he should use this as a reference and try to use this technique to make a mana crystal containing four elements as a mana source for his damaged Heaven Puppet.
Just thinking about it made Lin Yun's eyes burn with passion.
He leaned over his desk and carefully looked at the Element Chapter. He, who came from 30,000 years in the future, knew the value of the Element Chapter. A mage called Barus from a thousand years in the future had once obtained the Element Chapter.
