Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 454, Part 452: Deep Blue's Growth (Bonus Chapter 11)

Wandering among the sea of ​​books, Luo Yi caught a faint, musty, and old smell. It wasn't strong, but it had a calming effect.

These are the marks left by time on the books, as deep as if carved by a knife and axe.

Of course, there was also a faint sandalwood scent in the air, with wisps of smoke rising from the corners and filling the entire room.

This is a fragrance used to repel insects!

It is said that the recipe originated from a forest hunter and was improved by potion makers in order to repel insects and ensure the integrity of the books.

In fact, a magic array, including one for 'constant temperature', 'fire extinguishing', and 'trace-free', was constructed in this room to ensure the integrity of these ancient books and secret texts.

Luo Yi walked slowly, and when she looked up, she saw many different sections.

There is a "Bottomless Abyss Zone" containing ancient texts that tell the history of the evolution of demons, from the original Obiris demons to the Tanari demons.

Ancient texts focus on each level of the abyss, describing their characteristics, origins, lords, and main demons.

It even makes a bold conjecture: the countless layers of the abyss were originally the result of the sinking of the prime material plane.

What those demons love to do most is to breach the prime material planes and then drag them into the abyss.

There are also parchment scrolls that specifically introduce the demon kings of the abyss, analyzing their growth paths, strengths and weaknesses, and their styles of doing things.
And most importantly, methods of avoidance.

Just kidding?
These demon kings are all comparable to gods, so the focus of our research is naturally on how to avoid them!

In the [Nine Levels of Hell], Loy found an introduction to Asmodeus, the lord of Hell.

In mythology, this man deceived the gods on Mount Paradise, fell into the abyss, and tore nine layers of the bottomless abyss down to become a mighty man of hell.

There are also detailed introductions to the lords of the nine levels of hell and the eight demon generals. Each of them is a powerful figure who dominates a level and is a renowned existence in the multiverse.

In the Boundless Astral Zone, Loy saw the conjectures of our predecessors about the structure of the universe, descriptions of the astral environment, and records of astral races...

Among them are even many terrifying things beyond imagination.

For example, the wandering ancient evil creatures leave nothing but barren land wherever they go;
There are fragments of fallen divine kingdoms, treasures coveted by many legendary powerhouses, from which one might unearth divinity and divine fire.

There are also void creatures capable of unleashing void storms, and so on!

Of course, what Roy was most concerned about was how to travel in the astral plane!

For example, how to locate, how to tear through space, how to traverse the void, how to detect danger, how to avoid it, and so on...

Human beings are insignificant. Once you reach the astral plane, the most important thing is not to acquire resources, but to not lose your way.

Otherwise, the chances of finding their way home are pitifully low.

In the outer dimension, Luo Yi learned that besides the Twin Paradise overflowing with positive energy,
There are even higher planes like Elysium, Beastland, Wilderness, and Garden of Joseph...

Basically, the good and lawful gods prefer to locate their divine kingdoms at the boundary between the material plane and the higher planes, thereby gaining amplification from the higher planes.

Of course, if there is an upper plane, there must be a lower plane!
Luo Yi had always thought that the [Bottomless Abyss] and the [Nine Levels of Hell] were all there was, but in reality, ancient texts clearly recorded the [Chaotic Sea], the [Gray Wasteland], the [Scorching Hell], the [Asura Field], the [Mechanical Realm]...

In addition, there are the elemental planes of 'earth, fire, feng shui';

The collision and contact between positive and negative energy planes and earth, fire, wind, and water planes give rise to quasi-elemental planes, such as lightning, steam, minerals, vacuum, ash, etc.
There are also shadows of the material plane, shadow planes, and various bizarre shadow creatures.

To be honest, the more I read and learn about this knowledge, the more I understand the full picture of the multiverse, and my mind naturally becomes more open and my whole being is elevated.

At this point, when you look at the intrigue and backstabbing within a territory, you realize that these small matters are really not worth mentioning!
What a trivial fart!

Having a broad mind and a high perspective is good, but being detached from reality is not good.

Even those demon kings and devil lords are known throughout the universe because they have their own base of support and power.

If they lose their territory, they will be like rats in the street, hated by everyone.

Of course, besides these high-end books, there are also many down-to-earth books in the library.

For example, the Herka Historic District tells heroic stories and myths from different periods and stages.

For example, the "Underwater Life Zone" records various types of sea monsters, the birth and extinction of underwater races, and the succession and replacement of underwater empires.

For example, the "Travelogue" section is mostly written from a personal perspective, recording what the traveler saw and heard while visiting various places, as well as the strange things they encountered along the way.

There are also sections for [Warriors], [Mages], [Undead], and so on...

Of course, since the library was newly established, many books were not included in the catalog in time, so the elves were very busy.

Furthermore, many books contain diverse and varied content, belonging to different regions, which caused the elves to quarrel. Ultimately, Lady Palacios made the final decision.

Luo Yi strolled through the sea of ​​books, his expression casual, his gaze wandering. If he saw something that interested him, he would reach out and take it. He looked at everything, not caring about categories; he would just pick up a book whenever he felt like it.

Of course, to be precise, it wasn't him watching, but Deep Blue recording the data.

By the end, he was carrying a thick stack of more than ten ancient books, piled up so high that they almost blocked his view.

Even so, Deep Blue was still dissatisfied, clamoring in his mind to take one more book, one more book.

Luo Yi ignored it and carried the books to her private reading room.

The reading room isn't very big, just a small square table and chairs.

One side of the reading room faces the window, where the afternoon sun shines down, filling the room with light.

Luo Yi tossed the books aside, sat down, and casually took out tea and snacks from her dimensional bag. She brewed tea while flipping through the books.

He moved very fast, spending no more than a second on each page, with blue light flashing in his eyes as the text and images were reflected in them.

Deep Blue absorbed this ancient knowledge almost insatiably.

It's already a mature super gene manager, so there's no way to improve its performance.

Luo Yi is not an editor; she doesn't have the ability to modify the underlying logic at the genetic level.

However, this does not mean that Deep Blue cannot be upgraded.

In fact, the more complete the database, the more advanced the knowledge it contains, and the more fields it covers, the greater the role Deep Blue can play.

For example, the [Divine Sigh - Dragon's Might Unleashed], a sacred skill that focuses on cultivating the soul, has become significantly different after Deep Blue collected enough information about the soul and compared and fused it with [Giant's Soul].

Not only has the cultivation speed increased, but the power has also become stronger, and there is also a variation of the move that is similar to a finishing move.

The overall power of the sacred skill has increased more than threefold.

Then there were the natural disaster combat techniques taught by the cardinal. Some were easy to learn, and Roy could pick them up right away, but others left him scratching his head.

For example, the requirements for character in the "Divine Judgment" are absolutely unbelievable.

I'm just learning a combat skill, and you're testing my character? Isn't that a bit too much?

For example, the [Radiant Sunburst] skill requires Luo Yi to be enraged, furious, enraged, and enraged to the point of rage...

However, he is too calm; his rationality outweighs his emotions.

Even when faced with problems, he focuses more on finding solutions and addressing the issues. He can't get angry just for the sake of getting angry.
Finally, Deep Blue found a solution in the travelogues of many paladins.

In fact, these are mainly driven by boiling emotions, which make one's own fighting spirit boil as well, thereby completing various killing moves and unleashing fighting spirit with power far exceeding the ordinary.

This is a bit troublesome for Luo Yi to do, but there are ways to find alternatives!

For example, if you use [Lion King] as the base and replace it with Heart of Courage, it can also achieve the same effect.

This is why, after mastering her combat skills, Luo Yi insisted on sparring with Bane.

Only after he's fought it can he verify the actual power of these optimized natural disaster combat techniques!

The results proved to be remarkable!
Therefore, during this period, Luo Yi spent almost every day in the library, just to include these books in the database.

More than ten books, each with hundreds of pages. Even if it only takes a second to read one page, it still took Luo Yi nearly three hours to turn the pages, and her wrists were sore and numb.

At this moment, Luo Yi desperately wished she could learn some magic, even something as simple as 'Mage's Hand' that could automatically turn the pages of a book.

Unfortunately, looking at the intricate magic rune circuits, he was truly at a loss.

After finally finishing flipping through more than a dozen ancient books, Luo Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He tossed the book aside and thought to himself, "That's it for today!"

"Master, would you like to read one more book? Just one more!"

"Deep Blue, don't go too far, or I won't come tomorrow."

"If you don't come, the losses are yours, not mine!"

"What did you say? Muttering to yourself, speak louder?"

"No, really no, there's nothing there!"

"Since you don't have them, stop talking nonsense. Have you finished analyzing and optimizing my three sacred techniques? Take them out."

Especially that special sacred skill, [Sea God's Protection]!
