Chapter 342
Negri took the book to the other side of this bookshelf, but didn't find anything, so he couldn't help but smile. This Institute sure is full of misfortunes.
His spirit sense was even higher than Roger's, so he was able to tell that the twisted face he saw just now was completely different from the stench that caused this school to mutate, so it was obviously caused by another abnormal source.
"These are also errors" Negri also suddenly realized something. He no longer knew what the Moon Tree world looked like in its original form.
However, after the elves migrated here, the Moon Tree altered this world and made it their home, using it to plunder other worlds to nourish the Moon Tree world.
However, after the invasion of the seven Gods, they took over this world's authority and took it all into their own hands, causing this world to enter a morbid breeding state, which in turn caused this world's societal structure to become morbid.
The Flame world was only created because the New Deity and Archaeosaurus weren't willing to sacrifice themselves, so their rules weren't fully mended, resulting in errors and loopholes that gave birth to Evil Spirits. The Moon Tree world, which was a world where almost all of its authority was firmly controlled by the seven Gods, also gave birth to errors of its own.
The main body should've noticed this a long time ago as well. Negri didn't inherit that part of his memories, but it was quite obvious that if he could notice it now, Negri's main body, who was in his perfect form, should have noticed it as well.
"It's because of these errors that monsters are born so easily in this world, they are the products of errors" Walking along this bookshelf, 'Negary' ran his finger through the books on the shelf, reading through the titles of the books on the shelf.
"Theory of Spirit Linking Rituals" Negri's eyes flickered, it was obviously this book that caused the anomaly just now. Following Negri's gaze, 7-8 twisted and wailing figures flew out from the book, manifesting some sort of mana on the book.
As Negri opened the book, the spirits also seemed to have come out from the book and gathered around Negri, their bodies twisted and their mouths opened slightly, as if they were wailing or crying.
The content of the book was very interesting. It described how to use candlelight, mirrors, and other things to draw out one's own spirit. According to the description, spirits had the ability to fly, pass through walls, see through things, retrieve things with their mind, and create illusions. In fact, powerful spirits could even distort space to form a maze, trapping people in it forever.
However, even if 'Negary' didn't fully inherit 'Negary's' knowledge, he understood very well that while this book's description was correct in certain aspects, there were also other aspects that were purposefully tempting. If he truly followed the ritual described in the book, he would only be seeking his own death.
"The most serious problem is the problem of control created by spirits. Some things are born from their own bodies, so they might not necessarily respect their 'father'." Negri put away the book in his hand.
This thing was very interesting, but now wasn't the time to experiment with it. The Mana Banquet would be held tomorrow. It would last for three days. The first two days were only for the Mages of the House of Mages to exchange their magic skills, and on the last night, the banquet would officially begin.
Great Mage Stim Allenz once captured an evil god and imprisoned it in the Grand Library. Through various potions, spells, and rituals, he erased the evil god's consciousness and turned it into a living mana generator. The Mana Banquet was actually a great release of mana. The evil god's accumulated mana would be completely released.
Because of the special nature of this evil god, the mana she produced could be seized by anyone. Therefore, the Mana Banquet was a carnival for all the mages. Every mysterious person who could survive the Mana Banquet would have their strength greatly increased. Some could even peek into the mysteries of the evil god and use it to create more strange methods.
In these three days, Negri had to uncover some of the deeper secrets of this mutation. Only by doing so would he be able to break the trap waiting for him and obtain even more benefits.
After putting away the spirit summoning ritual, Negri continued to stroll around the Mobis Institute's library. Because of his soul's thoughts, Negri's heightened spirit sense allowed him to faintly sense that there was something strange about this library.
"Something is overlapping with this library from a certain angle." After investigating for a while, Negri came up with this hypothesis, which also matched the various rumors about the Grand Library.
"As long as a certain characteristic is fulfilled, I can enter the Grand Library. Is it spirit sense? No, with the strength of my spirit sense, if the condition to open the door was spirit sense, I would have been transported to the Grand Library the moment I stepped into the library. "
Negary observed the students that came and went inside the library, observing their unique traits. Some of them were well-read, some of them had an unparalleled reverence towards books, some of them were exceptionally good at learning, and some of them were extremely interested in Mysticism.
However, none of these people triggered the condition to enter the Grand Library, or even approached it, because they didn't cause any disturbances from the overlapping Grand Library.
Negri then recalled the few people he had met who entered the Grand Library: the snake demon Isrig who served him, the Protagonist of this world, Chromie, as well as the other people who joined the Hermit Order, trying to distinguish their characteristics.
"Physical factors, psychological factors, environmental factors." Negri recalled the information he collected about the people who entered the Grand Library, none of them knew for sure why they were able to enter the Grand Library.
"Chromie wasn't included in the reference list due to him being the Protagonist, but there are many possibilities of the will of the Moon Tree guiding him" after removing one of the sources of interference, Negri also discovered a simple condition.
"A strong need for certain things, huh? That should only be one of the conditions. " Negri then found a map of the Academic City in the library. Over a hundred libraries were scattered all over the Academic City.
"Isrig entered the Grand Library from the Leeson Library in the North, slightly West, on the 25th of March, 11 AM, while smoking in the smoking area"
"There are also other data, such as location, time, and elements" Negri inserted some of his knowledge of Mysticism and Astrology into the data and noticed something strange, then glanced at the Mobis Library where he was currently in.
"The West is slightly South, according to the position of the astrological chart, the corresponding planet is the Sun. It's currently August, the auspicious star is Uranus, corresponding to the constellation Leo. According to the orbit, at 5 AM, the constellation Leo will fall into the First House, its element is Fire, its characteristic is Silence"
"At 5 AM, located in the Mobis Library, with a strong desire as the guide and Silence as the key, open the door to the Grand Library" Negri matched the astrological chart with the Academic City's library, then calculated the correct time to enter the Grand Library using astrology and some Mysticism knowledge.
