I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 1159 - 673: Which Genius Designed This Trap?

The ruins of the Magic Empire?

Lis looked at the ancient magic book in his hand and did not rush to open it, instead holding it in his grasp.

This was an extrely old magic book, with the marks of ti deeply imprinted on it.

The pages were yellowed, the edges tattered, as if each page bore the brunt of a thousand years of frost and wind.

The magic power protection of the book was already wavering; the once indestructible magic barrier now weak and fragile, as if it might completely dissipate at any mont.

Although the earth-brown cover of this magic book was sowhat damaged, the classical and exquisite patterns could still be clearly seen.

They intertwined and coiled like mysterious runes, emitting a faint glow, as if recounting the splendor and glory of the past.

Despite the ravages of ti, these patterns still maintained an indescribable rhythm and beauty, seemingly hiding unique spell secrets.

Just holding this magic book, Lis felt an enigmatic and profound sensation washing over him.

Even though the magic protection was faltering, the book still exuded an irresistible charm, a crystallization of the wisdom of predecessors.

[Calo’s Earth Magic Research Manual]!

Looking at the title written in special characters on the cover, Lis could confirm that this was indeed a magic book originating from the ancient Magic Empire.

Although the na Calo was unfamiliar, the strong residual magic power in the book indicated that he was also a legendary-level arcanist.

Lis caressed the slightly rough cover of the magic book, and after a brief silence, he said to Mora:

"I see. If I’m interested, I’ll take a look. Have soone send over the exploration records."

"Okay, everything is ready."

Mora nodded, having anticipated Lis might be interested upon acquiring this magic book.

So these things had already been prepared,

but honestly, this Mist Wilderness small world was quite mysteriously dangerous, and weaker exploration teams had suffered significant setbacks.

Had I known earlier, I would have arranged for the undead to explore there.

However, for so unknown reason, the undead hadn’t accepted missions as before lately, instead gathering in a place called the Blue Sea Mini World.

Mora knew Lis was quite concerned about these undead, so he paid extra attention.

"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now."

Lis stood up, and his figure disappeared from sight.

Mora unsurprisingly got up and walked away.

Since Lis broke through to the legendary level, Mora understood the gap between them had widened even further.

However, despite less frequent communication, Mocha didn’t dwell on it too much.

After all, Lis still trusted him as before, entrusting the White Dove Guild to his managent.

The White Dove Guild had now beco a complete giant, far surpassing his family’s Golden Vine Flower Comrce.

His father had written many tis urging him to return and take over the position of guild president, but Mora always refused.

At the ti, due to Mora’s connections, the developnt of Golden Vine Flower Comrce was fairly smooth, leaving only his father with so regrets.

No one expected to train his younger son more, only for Lis to poach him.

There’s no arguing with that.

He still had to thank Lord Lis for his care.

...

Lis, holding the magic book, returned to the arcane workshop and placed it on the table.

This magic book was incredibly precious in every aspect, but Lis was more concerned not about the book itself, but why it appeared in the Mist Wilderness small world.

The Mist Wilderness small world was a relatively special small world.

Its area was about the sa as the Blue Sea Mini World, but the small world was perpetually shrouded in dense gray fog, without any intelligent races living there.

The gray fog enveloped the entire small world, with no distinction between day and night, allowing visibility of only a hundred ters.

The entire world seed to be slipping into death, with no signs of life, as desolate as a graveyard.

It was precisely the opposite of the Swamp Lizard Man Nest small world.

However, this small world had a considerable number of ruins.

They should have been left behind by people who once lived in this small world and still held many treasures.

So, in previous tis, the Mist Wilderness small world was quite popular among players.

Many players who liked such eerie and terrifying environnts often explored this small world.

Besides the fog creatures that erged, there was nothing particularly dangerous in this small world.

It was conceivable that finding so treasures in this small world was highly likely, but the presence of this magic book from the Magic Empire there was a bit strange.

Furthermore, according to Mora, the exploration team obtained this magic book from a place suspected to be a Magic Empire ruin.

This was very odd indeed!

In previous tis, players hadn’t explored the Mist Wilderness small world completely, but the majority of regions had no remaining secrets.

And there were no Magic Empire ruins among them.

What, then, was the issue with the ruin discovered by the White Dove Guild exploration team?

Lis did not believe their luck was so good that they could discover a place overlooked by players just after the small world began to be explored.

This felt more like sothing soone had planned.

Why do this?

For this purpose, even sacrificing a precious magic book?

The person orchestrating these events was undoubtedly formidable, and the target was very likely himself!

After all, there were not many things capable of attracting a legendary mage, and the relics of the Magic Empire were certainly among them.
