Lin Suo paused and gave Antlers time to calm down.

As proud as they were, the Elves had always viewed changing regimes as shameful, unlike humans with a tradition of changing Emperors once every few years. Rebellions were as common as eating and drinking.

To only have had a handful of royal families in ninety thousand years was already an exceedingly small number.

If it were humans, that number would have to be multiplied by tens of millions.

Provoking Antlers Faner was a calculated decision that Lin Suo had made to create an image of himself that was very knowledgeable about Elf history.

Meditation Techniques only represented the path, not the means of a Magi.

Moreover, it was also a test.

He wanted to determine whether this branch guild master was genuinely kind or just pretending.

After all, if he would get a Meditation Technique from him, he needed to know the other party’s true nature. If he didn’t, he would be very hesitant to actually practice the Meditation Technique even if he got his hands on it.

Although this move was risky, it was also the fastest way to see a person’s true nature.

Plus, he wanted to establish a no-nonsense and disdainful attitude toward lying.

If he didn’t understand, he would just say it straight. He said it out and clear, not even fearing provoking the guild master, expressing his stance of first establishing dignity before providing help.

This would prevent future troubles.

This move had more benefits than drawbacks. It all depended on what Antlers chose to do.

At this point, he was already standing by the window. Worse comes to worst, he could just jump out onto the streets. Given his Superior Body-level body, that was easy-peasy.

Even if Antlers had the guts, he wouldn’t dare to kill a Dandong person in front of everyone. After all, it would cost him his life.

After a while, Antlers’s heavy breathing calmed. His anger disappeared, and he returned to his usual calmness.

On the other hand, Valia had been quiet all along. As expected of someone cunning. She could even endure such situations.

Valia looked bewildered at the situation and finally realized that something was off. She was about to help Lin Suo say a few words, but Antlers spoke first.

“Rhein, you seem to have a solution?”

It seemed that he hadn’t lived for so long in vain. He finally realized that he could ask.

Lin Suo was still leaning by the window.

“Yes. Not all members of the Elven royal families are fools. They knew that if they continued to pass down the royal secret languages like this, it would lead to bigger problems in the future. Therefore, a kind of royal artifact was born.”

“The symbol of power? The Elven royal family’s symbol!”

“That’s right. As long as you find the Moon Stone, which symbolizes the Luna Royal Family, and uncover its secrets, you can understand the scriptures. Now, do you understand?”

Antlers took a deep breath and respectfully bowed to Lin Suo. Scholars were always respected.

Even the proud Elves would show the highest respect to scholars.

Lin Suo quickly returned the bow with a traditional Elven gesture.

This argument was just a minor issue. He didn’t come here to make enemies. He just wanted to probe the other party.

He would only give them a clue. He didn’t want to participate in translating the scripture. It was better to stay away from danger.

After all, even bits and pieces of the remnants of the scriptures had been enough to make him fearful.

As the guild master of the natural association branch, Antlers must have a big secret in finding such a book and investigating it with such care.

He had already gained a good harvest with the stage-one spell.

Soon after taking away the remnants of the scriptures, Antlers returned with a few scrolls.

“Mr. Rhein, these are the official Magi-level Meditation Techniques that humans can learn without side effects. Pick one.”

That was fast.

Without hesitation, Lin Suo checked each one carefully.

Antlers had brought a total of four official Magi-level Meditation Techniques: Round Pupil Meditation Technique, Blaze Meditation Technique, Scorpion Meditation Technique, and Storm Meditation Technique.

As he looked at the four official Magi-level Meditation Techniques, Lin Suo felt the urge to take them all.

The names of the Meditation Techniques represented a particular attribute bias. For example, Magis who practiced the Blaze Meditation Technique and Storm Meditation Technique would find it much easier to learn fire and wind spells.

However, this did not affect the learning of other elemental spells.

According to the introductions, Lin Suo ultimately chose the Round Pupil Meditation Technique.

Although the difficulty was great, it could help immensely in the activation of mental power, and the quality of the mental power would also be better at the same level.

He was not afraid of difficulties but worried that the Meditation Technique was not powerful enough.

The more powerful the Meditation Technique, the stronger it would be when he achieved limit-breaking enhancement and upgraded it to the extreme. It would be far superior to the same level.

The activation of mental power involved breaking through the official Magi level, which was not written in the manual.

After Lin Suo selected his reward, Guild Master Antlers took the liberty of giving him a Magi manual. It recorded some knowledge that every Magi must know and information about the Magi world in Koster. It was very beneficial for him.

The guild master was a good person, after all. Having misjudged the other party, Lin Suo apologized in his heart.

Adhering to the principle that whoever could benefit them was to be respected, the three parted ways, forming an “unresolvable bond”.

Valia saw him off at the association door and then ran back in.

Lin Suo went home alone.

After hanging the “Close” sign for Rhein’s Bookstore, he began to study the Round Pupil Meditation Technique.

A Magi’s aptitude was determined by two aspects: The strength of one’s innate mental power, and one’s affinity for magic energy.

Never mind his mental power. Although Lin Suo had no means to test it, with his experience of being the “God of staying up late” while still not dead, it shouldn’t be too low.

At the very least, his mental power’s resilience and toughness should be extreme.

As for magical energy, it involved the natural power of this world.

The sky had its phenomenons and the earth had its lines. Everything had its signs. Wherever the power of nature was abundant, they usually had magic energy ley lines and magic stone mines.

The ley lines were just like the spiritual veins in cultivation novels.

It was just that magic energy was a product of fusion from all sorts of attributed power of nature. It was produced by nature but had no attributes. It was like a black sheet of paper that could be manipulated by anyone.

Unfortunately, this did not include humans.

Longevity species like dragons and elves naturally possess magic energy in their blood and could absorb magic energy.

Ten thousand years ago, before the era of the Magi, it was the world of the longevity species.

With the weak body of humans, they couldn’t absorb magic energy at all. They would die on contact without exception.

Therefore, the pioneers of the path of the Magi, also known as Prometheus, imitated the breathing of the magic spirits (a certain soul-bodied race) and focused on developing their mental power. Then, they interfered with reality with their mental power, studying the elements and the principles behind the birth of fire.

Ultimately, they constructed spell models in their minds which resonated with the magic energy in the air, and successfully controlled the power of fire.

This was the history of the Magi.

It was common knowledge that every magus must know.

Prometheus brought knowledge to his peers, giving birth to many fire Magi who built Prometheus Towers in desolate lands, studying elements and beasts, and even observing Gods.

After generations spanning thousands of years, the three major Magi schools were gradually formed, namely the Elemental School, the Contract School, and the Charm School.

At this time, the first official Magis were born.

They discovered that when their mental power reached a certain level, they could fine-tune the magic energy and absorb it into their body, transforming themselves into longevity species.

At the same time, they changed the defect of spells such that the power of spells would no longer be influenced by the concentration of magic energy in the environment.

In just a few thousand years, the Life Modification School emerged. They stole the bloodline power of longevity species and used it for themselves, becoming extremely prominent.

The strength of the Magi became increasingly powerful.

To change the status quo of humanity, they raised their blades against all intelligent creatures that enslaved humans.

Following the footsteps of truth, their strength increased.

Until eight thousand years later, the powerful Magis could even annihilate Gods!

The schools evolved from three to four and then to the present day, with eighteen mainstream schools.

The Elemental School of the past split into the Nature School, Astronomical School, Magic Energy School, and so on.
