Yalina seemed to have changed into another person when she started working. Her face was solemn and she was so focused that she had forgotten about Han Jin's existence. She was busy mixing potions and engraving magic arrays. As her assistant, Sassoux naturally had to stay around her.
Han Jin felt a little bored. Although the magic laboratory was large and there were many things in the room, he didn't dare to touch anything. He was already distressed that he had to spend two thousand gold coins a day. If he broke something, wouldn't he have to pay for it?
The only thing he could do was to read books to pass the time. However, most of the magic books were related to potions and magic arrays. Han Jin couldn't understand them at all. He switched through a dozen books, but none of them caught his attention.
Han Jin lost interest. Just as he was about to change to something else, a book with a very simple binding jumped into his eyes. The leather on it had changed color and looked very old.
Han Jin had the idea of reading the last book. He pulled out the magic book and flipped through it. It was okay, there were no messy runes.
Han Jin leaned against the bookcase, turned to the first page, and read it carefully. This book should be regarded as an introduction to magic. The words used were as simple and easy to understand as the packaging.
The author of the book believed that the world was made up of eight elements, including all kinds of life, human beings, and even gods. Han Jin already knew a lot about the situation on the continent. No one dared to talk about gods. The author's words were somewhat disgraceful. If people from the magic guild or the church saw this, the author would definitely be in trouble. However, looking at the discolored pages, it should be something that happened a long, long time ago.
After reading the preface, the following was an introduction to the various elements. At the beginning of each chapter, the author made an evaluation of the elements. For example, the author believed that the fire element was the source of civilization, the water element was the cradle of life, and so on.
After reading about fire, water, earth, and air, the following were the light and dark elements. The author spent a lot of time praising the light element, but wantonly attacked the dark element. This was normal. Most of the races on the ground hated the dark, while the abyssal races hated the light.
After reading about seventeen or eighteen pages, Han Jin changed his position. The following introduced the seventh element, the spiritual element. The author attached great importance to the spiritual element and even said that it was the mother of the six elements. Reading up to here, Han Jin showed a dignified expression. The spiritual element mentioned by the author was similar to the spiritual sense in Taoist magic. Whether it was casting talismans or manipulating magic weapons, one must have a strong enough spiritual sense as support. The stronger the power of the talisman and the higher the grade of the magic weapon, the stronger the spiritual sense. It was like chopping firewood. Anyone could pick up an axe that weighed a few kilograms. If the axe weighed a hundred kilograms, or even a thousand kilograms, one would need a strong enough body. Otherwise, not only would one not be able to chop the firewood, but they would also hurt themselves.
Finally, it was the eighth element. The author used at most a paragraph to evaluate the first seven elements, but to evaluate the eighth element, the author used a whole page. There was also a paragraph in bold at the end, saying that the reason gods could become gods was because they had mastered the secret of the eighth element!
The more Han Jin read, the more his heart itched. He hurriedly turned a page and couldn't help but be stunned. Behind it was the back cover, and it was gone! He was a little unwilling to give up, so he simply closed the back cover. The back cover was yellow, and there wasn't even the author's signature. Then, he turned the book to the last page and slowly turned the page. It was still blank, and there were no signs of tearing. Obviously, the book wasn't damaged, but the author didn't write it.
This magic book was serialized?! Han Jin put the book aside and carefully examined the bookcase. As long as the appearance of the book looked old, he would take it out and take a look. He didn't know how long it took, but he walked from one end of the bookcase to the other, flipping through hundreds of magic books, but still couldn't find the sequel.
Han Jin sighed helplessly. Damn it, I met a eunuch! But Han Jin wasn't a person who gave up easily. He pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of an idea. In order not to disturb Yalina, he hid in a corner and quickly made a gesture. A cloud of mist appeared out of thin air, and finally condensed into large and small water droplets in his palm. Han Jin didn't hesitate to rub the water droplets on the page and quietly waited for a miracle to happen.
After waiting for a long time, nothing happened. Han Jin thought for a while and released the Three True Flames. He carefully observed the pages while roasting them. Until the pages were roasted and curled up, there was still nothing.
For quite a long time, Han Jin had been fighting a battle of wits and courage with the magic book. For example, he used his fingernails to scratch the pages, looking for possible interlayers, using his X-ray vision to see if there were any leftover writings, and so on. Failure after failure didn't discourage Han Jin. This reflected his strong perseverance. However, the yellow magic book was tortured by Han Jin until it was even more tattered.
Han Jin was even more focused than Yalina. He was in a state where he was giving it his all. He didn't even hear Yalina's surprised cry, let alone know that it was already bright outside.
"Raphael, what are you doing?" Yalina's voice sounded behind Han Jin.
At this moment, Han Jin had one eye closed and was using a fire element magic crystal to block his eyes. He was observing the magic book through the magic crystal. He came back to his senses and reluctantly put away the magic crystal. He looked very disappointed. It seemed that there were no secrets in the book. It was just that the author didn't want to write it anymore. Damn eunuch!
Yalina waited for a long time but didn't hear any reply from Han Jin. She was very curious. She leaned over and grabbed the magic book. After flipping through two pages, she looked up at Han Jin with a faint smile. "Raphael, do you want to become a god?"
Anyone who heard this sentence would laugh. Becoming a god … this kind of thing was too remote. No one would dream of it in the daytime. It was more realistic to dream of becoming a super-class master. However, Han Jin was different from others. He was a cultivator. Why did he cultivate? It was to become an immortal, to become a god! It was to exist with heaven and earth, to shine with the sun and the moon! If one couldn't become an immortal, what was the point of cultivating?!
Yalina's words hit Han Jin right where it hurt. He was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Yalina smiled and threw the magic book to Han Jin. Then, she walked back and said, "That book was written by a madman named Richard. He finally died in a mental hospital. Haha … Don't believe his nonsense. There are only seven elements in the world. Where can there be an eighth element? It's simply … "Yalina's body suddenly froze. Then, she slowly turned around and stared at Han Jin, her face full of shock.
"What's wrong?" Han Jin asked in astonishment when he saw Yalina approaching him step by step.
Yalina didn't stop until she was in front of Han Jin. Their bodies were almost touching. She stared at Han Jin and said in a low voice, "Tell me, is there really an eighth element in the world?"
"What?" Han Jin was even more confused. Just now, Yalina had said in a contemptuous tone that the author of the book was a madman. Now, her attitude had changed drastically. It didn't make sense.
"The magic that you released used the eighth element! Therefore, we can't sense magic fluctuations, just like how we can't sense the eighth element! Right?! " Yalina said word by word, but her tone seemed to be strained because what she was saying had subverted the foundation of magic. Yalina was, after all, a young person, so it was easier for her to accept new things. If it were an old magician, they would never think in this direction, no matter how much Han Jin surprised them.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean I used the eighth element?! "Han Jin asked in confusion.
Are you playing dumb? See how I expose you! Yalina bit her lips and suddenly spread her hands. "Give it to me!"
"Yalina, what's wrong with you two?" Sassoux walked over. Han Jin and Yalina's expressions were too strange.
"Sassoux, go back. This is none of your business!" Yalina said in a commanding tone. She wasn't venting, but what Han Jin knew was a big secret. If Sassoux also came, the possibility of Han Jin revealing the secret would be even slimmer.
Sassoux was stunned, but he still stepped back.
"What do you want?" Han Jin couldn't help but take a step back. The two of them were so close that he could even smell the fragrance of Yalina's breath.
"The magic crystal just now." Yalina's hands trembled with excitement. Finally! Her mystery was finally solved! Han Jin was able to easily release all kinds of magic that she had never seen before, but she couldn't sense any magic wave no matter how hard she tried, which had caused her great confusion. Now, everything was solved because of the existence of the eighth element!
Han Jin took out a fire element magic crystal from his space ring and handed it to Yalina. Yalina grabbed the magic book again and copied Han Jin by closing one eye. Then, she held the magic crystal in front of her eyes and carefully observed the book.
Yalina took much longer than Han Jin. She didn't know which page Han Jin was looking at just now, so she could only carefully flip through the pages. However, from the first to the last page, she didn't find anything. She raised her head and looked at Han Jin suspiciously, then flipped the book from the back to the front.
Han Jin stared at Yalina, dumbfounded. He couldn't understand Yalina's intentions.
"You're patronizing me! This isn't the magic crystal just now! "Yalina shouted angrily.
"I … I can't remember clearly." Han Jin said. He really couldn't remember. He had just taken out a fire element magic crystal, and the shape of the magic crystal was almost the same. How could he tell?
"Give it to me!" Yalina spread out her hands again.
Han Jin took out a magic crystal similar to the one in his memory and handed it to Yalina. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me what you're looking for?"
"What were you looking at just now?" Yalina asked.
Han Jin was stumped. Of course, he couldn't say that he wanted to become a god, so he wanted to find the secrets in the book.
Yalina didn't pay any more attention to Han Jin and started to carefully read the magic book again. However, the result was inevitable; she found nothing.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Han Jin smiled bitterly.
"You're patronizing me again! This isn't the magic crystal just now either! "
"Yalina, I really can't remember. Besides, they're both fire element magic crystals. There's no difference."
Yalina stared at Han Jin as if she was trying to discern whether Han Jin was lying or not. Then, she suddenly put the magic book back into her space ring.
"That … that seems to belong to someone else, right?"
"Anyway, there are so many magic books. They won't notice if one is missing," Yalina said faintly, then walked towards the stairs.
"Where's Edwina's longbow?" Han Jin finally remembered.
"It's done." Sassoux sighed. He really couldn't figure out what was going on between Han Jin and Yalina, especially Han Jin. Yalina's cry of surprise was so loud just now, but Han Jin didn't hear anything?
* * *
When Yalina put the longbow in front of Edwina, Edwina was stunned. She could hardly believe her eyes. Winston had purposely vacated a room for the dining room, saying that it would be lively if everyone gathered together. Now that it was time for breakfast, everyone witnessed the scene.
Since it was made by herself, there was nothing fancy about it. The two dwarven craftsmen certainly didn't meddle. They just did what Yalina told them to do. On the pitch black back of the bow, there were no decorations other than the mysterious magic runes. It looked a bit simple, but the long, gorgeous bowstring was different. The originally dark brown dragon tendon had now become a sky blue, as clear as the sky. It connected the two backs of the bow tightly, like a shining ray of light.
"I hope you like it." Yalina smiled.
"Is this for me?" Edwina asked, stuttering.
Han Jin was also looking at Edwina. He didn't notice that when he walked into the dining room with Yalina, Sunier, who was originally restless, slowly lowered her head. Then, everyone's eyes focused on the magic bow. Sunier quietly stood up and left the dining room.
However, Han Jin, Morrisons, and the others had already formed an inseparable group after repeated adventures. Han Jin was careless and didn't notice Sunier's abnormality, but the others did.
Léger stood up and walked slowly behind Han Jin. He patted Han Jin's shoulder, and when Han Jin turned around, he gave him a look and walked out of the dining room.
"What's up?" Han Jin asked softly as he followed Léger outside.
"Go and coax Sunier." Léger sighed.
"Sunier?" Han Jin looked back at the dining room but didn't see Sunier. "What happened to Sunier?"
"Was it you who told her to have a good night's sleep yesterday?"
"Yes, I did. Why?"
"Then you and Sunier snuck out after she went to sleep?"
"Snuck out … Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Han Jin smiled bitterly.
"Is it inappropriate for you or Sunier?" Léger said slowly, "Anyway … I'll tell you. After Sunier went to sleep yesterday, she remembered something and went out to look for you. She found that you were already gone, so we were all alerted. Then we found out that Yalina was also 'missing.' Haha … Think about it yourself."
Han Jin blinked. He had already realized the seriousness of the problem.
