Chapter 329 Legend!
Su Lun stayed in the library for several days.
Because it is an imperial residence, you don’t have to worry about being disturbed. The maids will bring you exquisite food every day, so you can live a leisurely life.
Occasionally, Shenfu Yuzi would come over to read a book when she was free, and the two of them would chat about spiritual practice together. When Su Lun encounters some questions that he doesn't understand, he can ask someone personally.
Su Lun knew that the higher up the library was, the more valuable the books were, so he read them all the way down from the third floor, the second floor, and the first floor.
Super high brain development and multi-tasking ability can greatly improve learning and memory abilities. There are also two cursed objects, [Seria's Blessing] and [Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript], which are also small artifacts that assist learning.
Su Lun reads books extremely quickly and efficiently.
Given enough time, he would probably be willing to stay in this library for several months.
But the day of the "Black Sun Festival" was coming soon, and he always felt that something unexpected would happen, so he cherished these leisurely days even more.
One glance can lead to hundreds of lines, and one can read several books at a time.
Su Lun already has a solid reserve of knowledge, and many books can be understood almost at a glance.
Even for those skills that required understanding and comprehension, he could understand them as soon as he could. If he couldn't understand them, he didn't spend too much time in the world to force them. Just keep it in your mind and digest it slowly when you have time later.
What's more, Miko, the royal princess, also gave him many transcripts.
Some look at it, and some take it.
Su Lun also felt that this friend could get along.
She can really help when things happen.
This day.
This is Su Lun's eighth day in the library.
Tomorrow is the "Black Sun Festival",
He wanted to scan through the classics he was interested in as quickly as possible.
At this moment, the first floor of the library is like a silk cave, with crystalline threads everywhere.
Classic books were hung on the silk threads, and the sound of "rustling" books was constantly being turned in the air. Those hanging classics seemed to have invisible hands constantly flipping through them.
Many of the classics on the first floor were folklore stories. Su Lun looked at them roughly and almost only glanced at them. But those that can be collected by the royal family are naturally the masterpieces Shan Yin has accumulated over countless years, and he has not let them go.
After all, Su Lun also found some small pleasures in reading books these days.
He discovered some little secrets from these books that perhaps even the librarians didn't know.
For example: some "word puzzles" hidden in the original manuscripts were solved to be some kind of "forbidden magic", or some erased "historical facts" or "heretic magic". There are even some "indescribable contents" that Miko said.
Su Lun finally understood why alchemists like to use various encryption methods to hide their research results.
In addition to keeping secrets from outsiders, it is also a way to deceive "high-level beings" who do not want lower-level beings to master the secrets of higher-level laws.
Often, the value of taboo content is high.
At this moment, Su Lun untied the eight-armed spider spear and was immersed in his busy work.
There were seven or eight books placed in front of him, flipping through them from time to time.
His eyes scanned the words one by one, while Spider Spear was multitasking and busy with other things.
There is an alloy operating table in the room, and Su Lun is performing a precision surgery on himself.
He cut open the flesh and was carving some mysterious runes on the radius bone of his left arm.
The flesh and blood of the arm were turned out, and the white bones were exposed to the air. There was no abnormal color on Su Lun's face.
Because he has enough understanding of human anatomy, he knows the direction of every blood vessel and nerve, so everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Thanks to the Spider Spear Reproduction Equipment, he was able to complete such complex surgeries and inscriptions on his own.
[Rune Body] This secret method requires one's body to be refined as a curse. Su Lun has already drawn the runes on the skin. Now he needs to draw the runes on the bones, blood vessels, and some necessary fascia and soft tissue mountains. runes. Then these runes with various functions are connected to form a sophisticated and complex rune system, which can exert some incredible functions.
This refining process is very difficult and requires high attainments in runes and some specific secret techniques.
It just so happens that Su Lun has it all now.
With these, other risks can be completely ignored.
Su Lun has absolute calmness and multi-tasking thinking ability, and the surgical process will be engraved without any subjective mistakes.
However, this process is a bit boring and not rushed at all.
Reading a book is just a good way to kill time.
Su Lun finished the ulna, then the radius, then sutured the incision, and then started to work on the humerus of the upper arm.
If there were outsiders here, they would probably be frightened by his crazy behavior.
Su Lun felt as calm as cutting someone else's flesh.
"X Serum" gives the body a super self-healing ability, and with some alchemical potions, once the wound is sutured, the healing is almost visible to the naked eye.
Even if there is a shortage of some rare materials, there is a royal treasure house next door. It is good to have a princess friend. There is no shortage at all.
Finally, the sun sets in the west.
Su Lun rushed to preliminarily carve the runes on the bones before the "Black Sun Festival" tomorrow.
He put away the surgical instruments and moved his hands and feet.
Infused with dark spiritual power, his body was covered with a dark golden luster, and his skin was covered with dense mysterious lines.
"The basic structure of [Rune King Kong] has been set up, and now the physical defense ability has been greatly improved. This strength should be able to support the fourth level of hormonal rampage, and maybe it can break through the fifth level in a short time. After understanding the advanced rune language in the future, There is also a huge ceiling for growth.”
Su Lun raised his eyebrows, seeming quite satisfied with his results.
After the puppet master's life-saving ability increases, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
He estimated that if he met the "Ghost Hand" Ueno Sasaki, one of the original Koga Sannin, he would probably not be as dangerous as before.
Even if you fight head-on, you can still kill someone with a certain degree of confidence.
But as if he thought of something, he muttered again: "However, the shortcomings of dark spiritual power are a big problem. [Rune King Kong] is very strong, but such complex runes require more energy. Moreover, the energy consumption caused by the raging hormones has increased exponentially. If I try to be at full strength now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to last three minutes.”
[Rune King Kong] + Hormone Rampage = Three Minutes of Real Manhood.
If you encounter continuous fighting, it will be a big problem.
However, this problem is also temporary.
Su Lun also has an epic level alchemy equipment sealed on his chest. This is his greatest confidence in taking this professional advancement route.
He was looking forward to it in his heart: "After advancing to the fifth level, and incorporating [Isaac's Alchemical Heart], there will be no shortage of mana, and you will be able to use the two secret techniques without limit, and the control range of the puppet theater will also be Can be infinitely exaggerated"
It can be said that once he advances to the fifth level, his combat power will be exaggerated and unbelievable.
But with this thought, Su Lun's thoughts started to wander, and he thought: "That's not right, the physical body has a limit to what it can endure. Even with unlimited mana, against an over-level professional, the physical body can only hold on for a little longer. It will also break down, and the rampage of hormones will cause irreversible effects on the body. Injuries, or even death. If you want to last longer, you will need to increase the physical strength. The current physical body can barely support the sixth level runes. Is it possible that after the fifth level, the choice of advanced professions and equipment must be considered to strengthen the physical body. Strength? ”
As soon as this thought begins, it becomes an infinite matryoshka doll.
A stronger body can support stronger runes, and a body with stronger runes can have stronger combat power
Su Lun's expression showed deep thought, and he vaguely had some reference directions for his future career advancement.
My thoughts are still spinning,
However, at this time,
Suddenly,
His eyes flashed!
"Eh"
Su Lun looked at a newly pulled book from the bookshelf in front of him, and a light flashed in his left eye.
He has the eye of omniscience, so he can see the specialness of this manuscript at a glance.
Between the lines of this ghost novel called "The Knife of the Chrysanthemum", one can actually see a very clever alchemical encryption method!
"Hormones special encryption method? A very advanced encryption method"
After flipping through a few pages, Su Lun's omniscient eye automatically identified the ordering rules between the words.
This is an encryption method named after the great alchemist "Van Hormone" during the Dawn Era. It is usually used to encrypt very advanced alchemical secrets.
This is already an area studied by "master-level" alchemists.
Su Lun recognized this and became even more curious.
What kind of content would receive this kind of encryption?
Was this novel written by an alchemist?
But why is it in Shanyin's library?
Su Lun automatically found the corresponding decryption method in his mind.
The text of the original novel in front of me has turned into something else.
"When you unlock the secret I hid in this novel, congratulations to you, a thoughtful person. There are some little surprises hidden in the book."
When Su Lun saw this sentence, the image of an alchemist who liked "treasure games" and even had a little "little pranks" appeared on the paper.
Moreover, a guess suddenly came to mind.
However, when he saw the next sentence, he was immediately shocked.
"My name is Carl Gustav Jung. Oh, no one may know this name. You may have heard of my other pen name, which is 'Fujiwara Hayato'."
"It's really him!"
Su Lun looked at this self-introduction and immediately realized that this was definitely not someone else pretending to be someone else.
The author of this book is Hayato Fujiwara himself!
Because it is impossible for others to pretend to be this way.
Being able to use cryptography to hide secrets is not that great. An alchemist with a little bit of knowledge can do it.
But to encrypt these secrets and hide them in a novel that already has high literary value is the most incredible thing.
Therefore, when Su Lun discovered "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife", he knew that the author of this book was not only an alchemist, but also had very high attainments in literature!
There are definitely not many such people.
What a coincidence, Su Lun heard about one recently!
When he saw that name, he couldn't wait to see what happened next.
"Originally, I wanted to follow that guy Bellamy to explore the unknown route, but I found something that made me more interesting, so I stayed in Shanyin. This is part of my travel diary, but the place I went to was a bit... Special"
This opening chapter did not disappoint Su Lun.
In the circle of big shots, 80% of them are big shots.
When Su Lun saw the words "exploring unknown routes" and "Bellamy", he immediately thought of a person.
Thirty years ago, Sam Bellamy was the legendary pirate king recognized throughout the world!
"Fujiwara Hayato actually knows the Pirate King?"
Su Lun suddenly felt like he had uncovered an unknown legendary history.
A simple line of words, as if I saw two legends who were at the top of that era talking and laughing.
Su Lun read on with strong expectation.
"Because I went to a very special place, and I want to express this experience in words. This creative process is difficult, after all, those existences are indescribable. Creating this story may exhaust my energy Lifespan, I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish it at the end of my lifespan, but I’m going to try anyway”
A very special place.
He is worthy of being a great writer, and he manages the suspense just right.
Su Lun continued to read.
"If you have not experienced the world personally, you will never be able to write a soulful story. This is also the most important reason why I became an adventurer and navigator. I traveled around and wanted to describe the world with my pen. And I came to Shanyin and found a lot of interesting stories."
"You must be curious about where I went? Hehe. No one may believe it, but I went to the 'Land of Underworld'."
"Yes, the real 'Land of Underworld'!"
Seeing this, Su Lun suddenly frowned.
He suddenly felt as if he was reading a novel about ghosts and ghosts again?
After all, this Fujiwara Hayato has written many similar novels.
He had read many books before.
But Su Lun felt that it was not that simple.
If it's just a novel, there's no need to go to all the trouble of hiding it in another story.
"I came back alive from the land of underworld, and my soul was polluted by death. I plan to go to Sensoji Temple. The monks there are good at using Buddhism to suppress necromancy. This should give me more time to write down my wonderful story. Experience"
"Oh, this is an unforgettable adventure. No one will believe that I have been to the 'Land of the Underworld' that only exists in myths and legends, and I have come back alive!"
"As for what I saw, I can't explain it in a few words. I plan to write it in another story. In this book, I want to leave to future generations how I went and how I came back. In case you are lucky enough to do the same. As an adventurer, you must be curious about that mythical place, right? If you really have the opportunity to step into myths and legends, who would refuse that kind of temptation?"
"It all started when I traveled to Shanyin and found two 'ghost train tickets' used to save the dead."
「.」
When Su Lun saw it, he really didn't know how to describe his feelings.
That Fujiwara Hayato discovered a way to go to the Land of Underworld, and after letting it go, this guy really tried it!
Damn it, is this the courage of an adventurer?
Su Lun's rationality made him resist the kind of "curiosity" that could kill people.
No, you don't want to go!
He will die!
Fujiwara Hayato was a great alchemist, and he died because of it. Su Lun didn't want to take risks just to satisfy his curiosity.
But he had to admit that after reading the words in the text, some kind of imminent thought sprouted in his heart.
As the great writer said, given the opportunity to enter the world of myth, who wouldn’t want to take a peek?
The novel "The Knife of the Chrysanthemum" was not long, only dozens of pages thin. Su Lun quickly turned to the end.
The words are vivid and vivid, and a truly great adventurer comes alive in his eyes.
That guy is a "madman" to a certain extent.
Bold and adventurous, he will leave his life behind to satisfy his curiosity
But it is precisely because of these pioneer adventurers that so many splendid legends have been left in the world.
In the last paragraph of the book, I wrote this sentence.
"Oh, right. That guy Bellamy had a premonition that he might encounter an accident during his voyage, so he got three gold coins and hid some of the information he left. One of them was placed with me. I put it It remains in this book if you are interested in that guy's sailing adventure. If you’re interested, that’s probably another story. Oh, it’s interesting to think about it. A pirate treasure story? Haha. Unknowingly, we seem to have become a legend in the eyes of others. The protagonist is here."
Su Lun watched as his eyelids twitched.
On the last page, a simple drawing of an ancient golden coin with a head and a train ticket was drawn with a brush.
When he finished reading, these two patterns suddenly glowed.
Su Lun felt the space fluctuations, stretched out his hand, and a gold coin and a green train ticket appeared in his hand.
【Black Sam's Curse Gold Coin】
Detailed explanation: Legend has it that you can find the sunken treasure of pirate king Sam Bellamy by collecting three gold coins; some incomplete cipher information is engraved on the gold coins;
"Sure enough, it's the pirate king."
Su Lun saw the properties of the identified gold coins and confirmed his thoughts.
That Bellamy is the pirate king who disappeared thirty years ago.
Birds of a feather flock together and people flock together.
The circle of friends of a legendary figure is indeed a legend!
Su Lun originally had a gold coin in his hand.
There are two now.
As for the third one, he seemed to know where it was.
Su Lun didn't expect to find such a harvest after looking through the library of the divine service royal family.
And when he looked at the train ticket in his hand, his expression became slightly strange.
【Ticket for Ghost Train】
Detailed explanation: Buy a ticket and get on the train. It will take you to the Kingdom of Underworld. There is some kind of undead certificate on the ticket. train? No, it's not what you think. This is an ancient monster that's older than you can imagine.
Su Lun read the story in the book and pondered for a long time.
He knew that Fujiwara Hayato really took this "train ticket" to hitchhike to the Land of Underworld.
After a long while, Su Lun let out a long sigh and couldn't help but sigh: "That guy is really crazy."
However, in this madness, there is also a kind of admiration from the bottom of the heart.
Su Lun collected the train tickets and gold coins. The content of the book had been deciphered, and it didn't matter whether he kept it or not.
He read through it again.
There is this sentence written on the title page: "If the world is a cage, then love is the key to open the cage."
Su Lun had heard this sentence before, from Grandma Katyusha's mouth.
After reading it, Su Lun seemed to have let go of a heavy piece of history.
He put "The Knife of the Chrysanthemum" back on the bookshelf, thinking that maybe one day in the future, another person would discover the secrets in the story and perhaps see the legendary life of this great writer, Hayato Fujiwara. , will also be extremely shocked.
As for the "Land of Underworld", although Su Lun was very curious, he had no intention of going there.
He thought that if he didn't have the strength of the eighth or ninth level, he would still be a GG.
That Fujiwara Hayato came back alive, apart from his strength and adventure experience, luck really played a big part.
It is naturally impossible to take risks.
Instead, another thing made Su Lun even more curious.
This "Chrysanthemum Sword" was written before going to Sensoji Temple. In other words, Fujiwara Hayato was really creating at the last moment of his life.
Did he write down his experience of going to the Land of Underworld in the story?
If it were really written, what kind of masterpiece would it be?
Su Lun was looking forward to that story.
He had previously thought that going to Sensoji Temple would probably be fruitless. After all, Fujiwara Hayato is so famous in Yamagakure. Over the years, countless people have wanted to find his manuscripts, and the threshold of Sensoji Temple has probably been broken.
But now that he saw this "Kiku no Knife", he felt that it was really possible.
Maybe hidden somewhere?
Even if it is a scrapped manuscript, nothing should be left behind.
While Su Lun was still thinking, noises were heard in the garden outside the imperial palace.
It sounded like a lot of people were walking in.
This was unusual in the imperial palace, which was always quiet and peaceful.
Not long after, Su Lun sensed the powerful and familiar soul fire, frowned, and murmured: "The "Gluttonous General" Ixir Paion is here? Are those pirates finally unable to bear the urge to force the palace?"
It's not a surprise. He had previously felt that the "Black Sun Festival" was a big obstacle for the royal family. People who want to make things worse are the best opportunities to attack before then, not after.
