Chapter 30 The new owner of the Clorond Manor
The Cloulund Manor at night was shrouded in darkness. The power of the small generator in the manor was not enough to provide lighting for the entire manor, so only Helot left. Wherever you pass, the lights will turn on.
Then it goes out after he passes by.
Only one footsteps echoed in the empty corridor of the old castle, and the wind blew through a gap somewhere, making a "whoosh" sound. Looking at the head maid floating in the dim light in front of her, Herot felt that the terrifying atmosphere was even more permeable than the vampire castle.
Helot turned his attention to both sides.
There are exquisite murals hung at regular intervals on the walls, and various sculptures and artworks are dazzling. The building material of the stone castle is hard granite, the floor is as smooth as a mirror marble, and the steps are inlaid with cat's eye stones for anti-slip.
Everywhere here is recorded the glory of the Claude family, which also makes the present even more lonely.
Helot followed Maynur to his father's study.
The room is not big, and a lot of high-quality wood was used to decorate it. A layer of sound insulation material was also filled between the wood and the stone wall.
The books on the bookshelf are arranged very neatly, and a newspaper is spread out on the desk.
Helot walked over and saw that the newspaper was dated April 6, 1869. The headline was "Tomorrow Group successfully acquired the Chinubili Shipping Company..."
Mainur opened the window , let the fresh air from outside come in.
"Master! Since the old master disappeared, this study has remained the same. Next door to the study is the Claude Family Library, which contains more than 300,000 books. Tell me what you want to see. That’s it.
Have you and Butler Kurt found the old master?”
Mainur wanted to find out the news about the old master, but was afraid it would be bad news.
Helot sat on a chair and folded the newspaper and handed it to Maynur: "There is no news about my father yet. Tomorrow I will continue to search in the family cemetery. I now want to learn the spells passed down by the family. You should know Which books are suitable for me as a beginner?”
There is no news from the old master, which makes Mayinur very frustrated.
She took the newspaper and put it in the cabinet beside her, and at the same time replied to Helot: "I suggest you, Master, read "The Gravekeeper's Guidance Notes" first, which was written by the second generation of the Claude family. Compiled by the clan leader and the strongest necromancer 'hermit' in the family so far, it records in detail the characteristics and application methods of the death energy in the family cemetery, the characteristics and cultivation methods of different undead, and also the methods suitable for the children of the Claude family to learn and use. Meditation.
"The Gravekeeper's Guidance Notes" is a must-read for every direct member of the Claude family."
"Get the "Gravekeeper's Guidance Notes". Come on.”
"This book is in the library. I'm going to get it for you, Master."
Mainur wanted to go through the wall to the library next door, but remembering Kurt's instructions, he quickly The moment he hit the wall, he changed direction, opened the door and floated out.
Seeing the somewhat busy head maid, Herot smiled and then took out the "Old Codex".
As expected, it was just as his father said. Not only did he bring out all his equipment, he also brought out the "Old Code". Feel the magic flowing in your body, no less than in the game world.
The "Old Codex" in my hand feels like a restless kitten.
The power contained in it always wants to show its power, but it is tamed under Helot's will.
As a magic book, "The Old Code" not only provides considerable attribute bonuses, but also has the function of active spell casting.
Currently, the "Old Codex" can record and release four preset magics.
And the magic he knows now is... Helot checked the magic he can use now.
Ghost Shield, Corpse Poison Smoke, Marching Aura, Mind Shade, Magic Energy Collection, Soul Language, Summon Skeleton, Death Coil, Soul Barrier, Attack.
Excluding the passively released magic, there are not many preset magics to choose from, and there are even fewer magics suitable for preset in the magic book.
After repeated consideration, Helot decided not to pre-install attack magic in the magic book for the time being. He didn't know what level of logic and intelligence the magic book had to cast. If the magic went out of control and caused indiscriminate attacks, people here were not like players who could resurrect after death.
The magic was screened again.
Psychic Darkness: weakens the enemy's perception. The effect is related to one's own magical intelligence, as well as the enemy's defense and magical intelligence.
Non-lethal magic is used to give the enemy a negative state. Even if the target is wrong, no one will be killed.
Soul Language: Gain state magic. The casting time can be reduced in the soul language state. The effect is related to magic wisdom.
A very good auxiliary magic, automatically released by the magic book, which can keep you always blessed with this buff when needed.
Soul Barrier: Spiritual Protection Magic.
Psychic attack magic is a very vicious and difficult to defend spell. If you have the ability, it is best to turn on mental protection all day long. But a person's energy and magic power are limited, and there will always be times of negligence or fatigue. There are two solutions, one is to wear magic props that can resist mental attacks, and the second is to find a magician bodyguard to replenish the buff anytime and anywhere.
Having a magic book that can automatically cast magic at any time is like adding a permanent layer of mental protection to yourself.
For the fourth preset magic, Helot chose it repeatedly but failed to find the right one.
I know too little magic, so let’s do it in the air first!
The preset magic is recorded in the "Old Codex"...
Helot let go of his hand, and the magic book couldn't wait to fly up. The book cover was opened, and the pages inside turned rapidly. Black smoke filled the air, and skeletal hands with teeth and claws were revealed from time to time in the smoke.
That arrogant energy is unparalleled!
However, the sharpness of the "Old Code" did not delay the work of assisting in spell casting. Helot could feel that there was a protective shell on his spiritual level. Although the protective shell is still very thin now, as his magical wisdom increases in the future, the mental barrier will definitely become more and more reliable.
The effect of soul language was also felt...
At this time, the door knocked.
Helot stretched out his hand and recalled the smoking "Old Code" into his hand, closed the cover and threw it into the space bag.
"Come in!"
The door was pushed open and Maynur walked in carrying a tray. There was a thick book on the tray and a cup of steaming tea.
"Master, I made you a cup of meditation tea to help you concentrate when you are reading. The "Gravekeeper's Guidance Notes" I brought is the 26th revised edition, which contains There are many collections of annotations by outstanding mages of the Claulund family throughout the ages.”
“Thank you, Maynur.”
Helot took a sip of tea and picked up "Tomb Guard." "Guidance Notes" to start reading family classics.
