Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

Standing in the study, Li Cha saw five or six tall bookshelves lined up against the wall, each of which was full of books and scrolls.

Squinting slightly, Li Cha walked to one of the bookshelves, stepped on the special wooden ladder, and reached out to the top of the bookshelf.

Pushing aside a large number of books and scrolls, Richard found a cold black iron box on the innermost shelf of the bookshelf. The black iron box is about thirty centimeters long and wide, and five or six centimeters thick. The surface is engraved with complicated patterns, which looks strange and mysterious.

With a slight effort, Richard pulled the black iron box out of the bookshelf, walked down the wooden ladder, and placed it on the wooden table in the study.

With a click, Richard opened the black iron box, revealing a book inside.

This book is about the size of a black iron box, and the cover on the surface has a cold metal color and looks extremely heavy.

Richard took out the book and felt the touch like ice cubes. His eyes flickered, and his eyes fell on a depression on the cover.

The depression matches the metal pattern on the cover, and it looks like a split mouth. If you look at it from a special angle, you can see a line of indistinguishable small characters: Let me drink magic energy to the fullest, and I will Tell you the truth of this world.

Magic book! Or rather, it's a wizarding book!

This is what Richard finally found in the deepest part of the royal library, and even the oldest librarian could not tell its origin. I only know that this is a weird book, full of evil powers, with a vicious curse, if you come into contact with it often, you will get sick at light, or die suddenly.

Li Cha naturally does not believe in the so-called curses and evil forces. In Li Cha's opinion, this book is nothing but a volatile substance that is poisonous to the human body. As long as you pay attention to the circulation of air, chronic poisoning can be completely avoided.

But it's not easy to unlock the secrets in the books.

Because the book is wordless.

Yes, the Wordless Book!

There are no words in the pages of the book, except that someone is deliberately playing tricks, there is only one explanation: under special conditions, this book can show the hidden content. It's like a common deception on modern earth, writing on white paper with starch, and it will change color when it touches iodine.

But Richard has done many tests, no matter whether it is pure water solution, iodine, acid or lye, the pages of the book cannot be changed. Obviously, the paint smeared on the page is a very special kind, and only the corresponding reactant can be found.

And what this reactant is, it is clear enough on the cover: magic energy.

What is magic power? Magic substance?

In order to decipher the secrets of this wizarding book, in order to unravel the secrets of wizards and spells, Richard has been looking for weird creatures and humans for years, and now...

Richard tilted his head slightly and looked at the rose-colored liquid on the side of the table.

"It's right or wrong, you should know right away, right?" Li Cha said to himself. The next moment, he picked up the bottle containing the rose-colored liquid, opened the stopper, and slowly poured it into the depression on the cover of the book.

Soon, the depression was filled, and a small bubble came up. After standing still for half a day, it broke with a "pop".

For a moment, it seemed to cause some kind of chain reaction. The liquid in the depression of the cover seemed to boil, and a large number of bubbles emerged, breaking open continuously.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Then, as if some kind of restriction was triggered, with a "gu dong", all the liquid was swallowed by the book instantly and disappeared cleanly.

The next moment the book began to tremble slightly, like a human being trembling, causing the tabletop to vibrate, and a faint voice sounded from the depths of the book: "Thirst... thirsty... thirsty..."

Richard raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and held down the vibrating wizard book, then picked up the bottle with rose-colored liquid, aimed it at the depression on the cover and poured it again.

This time, as the liquid was poured down, the sound of "gudonggudong" drinking water continued to sound,

Every time the sound was heard, the poured liquid disappeared, and there was a low murmur of "more...more...".

In this way, Li Cha filled half of the bottle of liquid, and the sound of drinking water finally disappeared, replaced by a full burp, "Hee-hic--"

The shaking book slowly returned to calm, and Li Cha took a deep breath and opened it.

I saw that the first page of the book was originally blank, but now there is blood-red paint showing up little by little, and finally merged into a somewhat terrifying skull.

The eyes of the skull were burning with flaming flames, as if it were real. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Li Cha actually felt the heat.

This……

The next moment, an even more shocking thing happened. The painted skull actually moved, and the jaws opened and closed in a cold and low voice: "Who woke me up? Who is going to peep at Master Monroe's treasure of knowledge? Answer Me, or you will be punished the most severely!"

If the rest of the people saw this situation, they would be scared to death, but Li Cha did not. Instead, he looked at the skull on the page with interest and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the book spirit created by Master Monroe to protect the safety of this book and screen the qualifications of those who read this book."

"What can you do?"

"I can verify that everyone who reads this book is smart enough, and if so, then he will be eligible to read this book. If not, then he will pay the price he deserves for his own recklessness and ignorance."

"What price?"

"Death!" Shu Ling's voice was extremely cold.

Li Cha laughed: "It's interesting."

Then Richard asked: "How do you verify that everyone is smart enough?"

"I will exchange a question with everyone, if he can answer my question correctly, and I can't answer his question, then he is smart enough. During the period when I can't answer his question, he can Feel free to read the contents of this book with impunity."

"Is that so..." Li Cha's eyes flashed, "Then what's your problem?"

"Those who want to peek at Master Monroe's knowledge, are you sure you want to start the challenge?" Shu Ling's voice became solemn.

"Always have a try." Li Cha said, "Whether it is success or failure, I want to study your mechanism of action."

"..." Shuling was silent for a moment, as if thinking about the meaning of what Li Cha said, and finally said aloud, "Okay, since you are sure of the challenge, let's solve this problem: there is a strange creature, Four legs in the morning, two legs in the noon..."

When Li Cha heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback. Isn't this the mystery of the Sphinx in Greek mythology on the modern earth? In Greek mythology, the sphinx-faced monster "Sphinx" sat on a cliff near the city of Thebes, stopped passers-by and asked them the same riddle.

Many people couldn't guess the answer, and they were all eaten by the "Sphinx" mercilessly. Later, a person named "Oedipus" guessed the correct answer, and the "Sphinx" was very ashamed. , jumped off a cliff and died.

The next moment before Shuling finished speaking, Li Cha couldn't help but interrupted: "Don't tell me, what you want to say next is, 'This creature will have three legs at night, when the legs are the most, It's also when he walks the slowest and is the weakest'. And then asks me, 'What is this creature'?"

Shu Ling's voice stopped abruptly, fell into silence, fell into silence for a long time, as if it was the first time that he had encountered such a situation.

Li Cha spoke again and said to Shuling: "Well, if that's the case, then I can only tell you that the puzzle is 'people'. Because people crawl around when they are babies (in the morning). It has four legs, two legs when walking normally in adulthood (noon), and three legs when walking with crutches in old age (at night).

But... the criterion for evaluating smartness is just such a puzzle that is similar to a sharp turn in the brain, is it really rigorous? Or, what you said about being smart is not the same as what I understand at all? You prefer wit, and I prefer wisdom...",
