Unfortunately, Lin Yun hadn't discovered these Skeleton Warriors lying in ambush. Otherwise, Lin Yun would have definitely re-examined his harvest from the Death Garden, and he might have even thought about how not every ability could make the body feel different.
It was already late at night by the time Lin Yun returned to Thousand Sails City. Even for Lin Yun, that day's experience had been a bit too stimulating, especially the battle in the Death Garden, which had exhausted the last wisp of Lin Yun's energy. Lin Yun originally wanted to study that stone tablet when he returned to the Gilded Rose, but he felt drowsy as soon as he sat down. He didn't pay attention and actually fell asleep on the chair.
He only woke up at noon the next day. When Lin Yun opened his eyes, he discovered that there was a blanket on his body, as well as a breakfast on the table next to him.
Lin Yun knew that it was most likely done by the old butler.
The old man had never come in contact with magic in his life, he didn't even know if Great Mages were round or flat. But the old man stubbornly believed that magic learning shouldn't be disturbed. No matter how big the matter was, it couldn't compare to his young master's magic learning. Thus, the old man had always been secretly taking care of his young master's daily needs. Just like now, he was covering Lin Yun with a blanket. He was very gentle, afraid of waking up Lin Yun.
Lin Yun smiled and finished the breakfast in a few mouthfuls. He then took the stone tablet and returned to the alchemy laboratory.
The palm-sized stone tablet was placed on the refining table. It didn't have any mana fluctuations, nor did it have any death aura. It looked like an ordinary stone tablet, but Lin Yun believed that this stone tablet looked so ordinary because he hadn't discovered its mysteries.
After all, this was a stone tablet from the Death Garden, condensed from boundless death energy. Even if it wasn't a heaven-defying existence like a soul stone, it still shouldn't be an ordinary stone tablet.
Thus, Lin Yun spent the entire morning in the alchemy laboratory.
At first, Lin Yun only used alchemy reagents to analyze it, trying to figure out what kind of material the tablet was made of, but Lin Yun quickly realized that he was wrong. After changing seventeen or eighteen different alchemy reagents, the conclusion he obtained was surprisingly consistent. There was no substance, this was just a stone tablet.
'Alright, it doesn't matter if I can't analyze the reagent, I can try to stimulate it with mana.'
Lin Yun held the slate in his hand and started pouring mana into it.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes …
At first, Lin Yun was full of expectations, but after 30 minutes, Lin Yun couldn't help but complain inwardly. This damn slate was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much mana was poured in, there wouldn't be any overflow. However, the reaction that Lin Yun was expecting didn't happen at all.
"Damn, you've got guts!" Sensing that he didn't have much mana left, Lin Yun angrily cursed and stopped this futile effort.
At this time, Lin Yun really wanted to ask, 'What is the composition of this damned stone slab? How could it be so stubborn? It can't be persuaded by a soft approach or a hard one. Does it have to be so picky?'
'Right, could it be that it needs to eat spells?'
Lin Yun suddenly thought of something. The stone tablet came from the Death Garden and was condensed from boundless death energy. Could it have some undead characteristics? 'Should I try using fire spells?'
Lin Yun was quite cautious. He was afraid that an overly powerful fire spell would damage the stone tablet, so he specifically chose Flaming Hand.
This kind of entry-level spell didn't even need any gestures for the current Lin Yun. He directly held the stone tablet in his hand and released mana, causing flames to rise in his hand.
Then, Lin Yun discovered that his attempt was correct.
Almost as soon as the flames rose, a wave of Death Energy was released from the slate. At the same time, every detail of the Flaming Hand was directly presented in his mind.
"Shit!" Lin Yun was startled on the spot. Not only did the Flaming Hand extinguish, but even the stone tablet in his hand fell to the ground.
The thing that appeared in his mind in that instant was really too strange …
Lin Yun stood there, looking at the stone tablet in a daze, a complicated expression on his face. He looked a bit scared, but at the same time, there was also some expectation.
This stone tablet's evil nature far exceeded Lin Yun's imagination. It could actually affect the mind, and the ability it contained was what Lin Yun yearned for day and night. It meant a complete analysis of spells. It could be said that no mage in this world could resist this temptation.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yun used his trembling hands to pick up the stone tablet.
But Lin Yun still had a complicated expression as he held the stone tablet in his hand, because what Lin Yun was going to do next wasn't to cast a spell, but to use the Magic Array.
Lin Yun could still control the damage if he was affected while casting the Flaming Hand, but if something unexpected happened while using the Magic Array, then even Lin Yun could only close his eyes and wait for death. Because the Magic Array was an extension of Lin Yun's life, it was the brand of his soul, it was the foundation of Lin Yun's Great Mage realm.
After no less than ten minutes, Lin Yun took a deep breath and tightly held the stone tablet in his hand before using the Magic Array to combine spells.
'Sure enough …' As the Magic Array revolved, Lin Yun's frown gradually relaxed.
Because Lin Yun could feel that the efficiency of the Magic Array had doubled when he held the stone tablet in his hand. Spells that originally needed a minute to complete had now been forcibly shortened to thirty seconds.
'Enough …'
There was no need to keep trying. Lin Yun slowly put the stone tablet on the refining table. At this time, Lin Yun already knew that he had taken a Augment from the Death Garden, a Augment that could analyze and calculate spells.
As for its level, it might even be above True Spirit.
Now, Lin Yun was no longer envious of Zendrall.
Even if the power of this stone tablet wasn't as powerful as the Soul Stone, it was a Augment. If he obtained the Bone Plane's Book of the Dead and added this Augment, the power of the Book of the Dead would reach a shocking level.
Not to mention that the Augment itself was powerful enough.
After all, Lin Yun's Magic Conducting Rune was the Magic Array. The most troublesome part about the Magic Array was that it was too complex and cumbersome. Every combination of spells and metamagic would take a lot of time. The Augment in his hand was the only one that Lin Yun knew could increase the efficiency of the Magic Array.
