Chapter 36 Netherese Arcanist
The ‘Netherese Scrolls’ are 100 golden scrolls discovered by the Netherese people in the ruins of Erevandar.
However, its true origin is still a mystery.
Brian looked at the golden scroll in his hand. In a daze, he seemed to see the silver magic writing being alive, flowing slowly on the surface.
This made him recall the true origin of the scroll.
In fact, the Nese scrolls are made from the skin of the giant snake of the universe. They are not as described in the legend. There are only two scrolls with a total of 100 scrolls.
Actually, there are three Nese scrolls.
The second set of scrolls is located deep in the Tower of Windsong in the ruins of the elf city Myth Drannor. It is in the shape of a golden beech tree. This is a golden bush that hides knowledge.
This set of scrolls is believed to have been destroyed long ago.
The recipient of the third set of scrolls is the long-destroyed Mechanical Empire Imasca.
Although this set of scrolls was also destroyed with the demise of Imasca, the powerful artificers studied the scrolls and created the seven secret weapons of Imasca.
It is said that these seven artifacts all have independent personalities.
They hold all the knowledge of the artificer lords of the empire and can answer various questions about Imaskar customs, politics, magic, etc. As long as you get the seven secret weapons of Imaskar, you will get All the knowledge recorded in the third volume.
This famous book of knowledge allowed two human empires to rule the world for dozens of centuries. Naturally, it was not a gift from the creation race or a gift from the goddess of magic, as the world spreads.
As some people have boldly speculated, the Nese Scroll does not originate from this world, but from the crystal wall system outside the sky of some countries in the multiverse.
Putting it this way, it may be difficult for people to imagine the specific scope, so according to modern people, it is from other worlds outside the solar system.
Brian happens to know the most reliable theory about the 'Nese Scroll'.
According to the wild history of a certain god:
The knowledge recorded in the Nese scrolls comes from a mysterious organization called the 'Spellweavers'.
This is a magical empire established by a mysterious race with powerful spellcasting ability. It once spanned the entire multiverse and opened the era of interstellar colonists, also known as: the hub era.
During the Nexus Age, the Spellweaver colonies (known as the Nexus) were fashioned into massive five-sided spiers of rock and steel, connected to each other by a complex system of portals.
Normally, there is only one Nexus in each world (Note: The principle of the Mysel Energy Core is similar to the magic items used by Spellweavers in ancient times to increase the magic power of the Nexus.)
Weaving Through the portal system of the hub, they help the development of countless civilizations in the multiverse to facilitate their own access to resources. Sometimes they also choose to conquer some too primitive races to serve as slaves and hard labor.
As for those very few racial civilizations that may pose a threat to their empire.
Their strategy is to give the opponent powerful magic items and artifacts, or secretly support a force to let the opponent self-destruct due to internal fighting. The 150 Golden Scrolls were born in this context.
——Excerpted from "The Wild History of the Ancient Death God Yeager"
This history can even be traced back to the earliest Thunder Era in the world of Toril, as well as the three major creator races at the beginning of the world.
This is why Brian is so eager to collect the 'Nese Scrolls'.
Because the knowledge recorded in these scrolls is most likely the knowledge compiled by the interstellar colonizers 'Spellweavers' in ancient times after integrating countless magical civilizations in the multiverse.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a large encyclopedia of magical civilizations in the multiverse.
Of course, this also includes the knowledge of the three major creative races in the world of Toril.
He no longer thought about it and turned his attention to a Nese scroll in his hand.
Each scroll is an 8-inch * 10-inch thin gold foil page, as flexible as paper. Although it seems small, it contains a huge amount of knowledge.
As long as you read the entire page, the handwriting will rotate and move on the page to reorganize the content of the next page. This is the same as turning on the automatic page turning function on your mobile phone to read a novel.
Brian was not in a hurry to check the magic knowledge recorded in it, but took the lead in checking the classification of this scroll:
Introduction to Arcana (one volume, Chapter 3 of the Realm of Creation): Energy, destruction, and killing.
Seeing that the record was a scroll of 'Introduction to Arcana', he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the rise of Netheril, the first volume of 'Introduction to Arcana' has been regarded as the most basic common sense by the magic community. It contains a lot of information and secret arts that are similar to those in the following four volumes. closely related.
If you have not mastered the basics of the first volume and try to read the knowledge in the next volume, it is often difficult to understand the obscure knowledge in it.
It usually takes only one month to study, and may even increase to more than a year.
This is the same as choosing to skip a grade when going to school.
With a thought, Brian called up his system bar and started the scanning and analysis functions.
This feature comes with their player base.
Usually used to assist players in reading the knowledge in magic books. It will take different amounts of time to help players understand the knowledge in the books based on their intelligence attributes. Otherwise, if a wizard player does not have systematic magic education, even if he is given a year, he may not be able to successfully master the simplest tricks.
However, since he was reborn into this world, he rarely uses this function.
Because for ordinary books, a simple "reading magic" can be done.
As for obscure magical knowledge, as long as he has enough time, this function takes less time than reading books directly.
The most important thing is that only by analyzing all the knowledge in the entire book can it be transferred to the mind at once.
He no longer hesitated, and immediately unanalyzed and read the book recording the secrets of shadow given to him by the spider wizard, and then targeted the Nese scroll.
"Special magic items found!"
"Scanning."
"Scanning completed!"
"Get an additional 500 experience points!"
" Parsing progress: 0.1%0.2%"
"Analyzing the entire content of the scroll, estimated time: 29 days, 23 hours and 54 minutes!"
…………
One month.
Brian looked at the system bar and was not surprised.
With his current intelligence attribute of 20 points, it would take him a month to read the most basic Nese scroll, which is within the normal range.
Of course, if he wants to speed up his progress, the easiest way is to improve his intelligence attribute.
On the contrary, the additional 500 experience points gained from reading the Nese scroll confirmed a doubt in his mind.
It is said that after any reader reads a Nese scroll and has a deep understanding of it, their personal level will increase by one level.
If you master all 50 Nese Scrolls, your career level will even soar directly to level 50.
From the experience gained, it can be seen that this statement is not wrong.
Then, he began to make another attempt, preparing to upgrade his battle mage profession to a Netherese arcanist.
This was the career direction he had planned before he obtained the scroll of Nese.

Most of those with this advanced profession died when the floating city fell from the sky and their powerful empire was destroyed in the desert of Enorok, but a few still survive as lich to this day.
Today's wizards and warlocks want to advance to become Netherese arcanists and come into contact with the ancient arcanist skills.
