Luo Fan glanced at the inheritances, but they weren't of much help to him. They were all based on strengthening the magic channel, with the inscriptions being the most crucial element.
The biggest difference between human runes and those of monsters is that human runes are not in a fixed position; they flow along with the runes' own mana channels, thus giving rise to a variety of uses.
For example, the Thunderclap Fist, without the enhancement of inscriptions, can only shatter a large tree. However, with the enhancement of penetrating inscriptions, and when condensed in the hand, it can blast through a mountain.
No wonder that in the previous world, humans were dominant, and magical beasts could only barely survive. This resulted in almost no research on magical beasts at that time, and even magical pets were merely a burden to mages and were not valued.
Now that monsters are relatively stronger, the status of magical pets has been greatly elevated.
Looking back now, those monsters seem to have been quite peaceful, and they didn't cause much trouble for humans afterwards; on the contrary, they lived together harmoniously.
Aside from occasional disturbances by creatures in the sea, there is no record of large-scale wars breaking out; on the contrary, it is humans themselves who are constantly fighting.
Why is that?
Anyway, Luo Fan couldn't figure out the reason behind it, or why those beast gods were hiding. He felt that he still hadn't grasped the truth.
However, considering that the Gate of the Abyss connects to the Demon Realm, there might also be a Gate to the God Realm, but we don't know the specific way to open it.
He didn't find any records about this in the book, but he did discover a way to go to the realm of gods: to sacrifice some powerful being. He guessed that it was likely related to the Beast God.
However, many people speculate that the gate to the divine realm has been shattered, which is why the laws are missing, but there is no credible evidence to support this claim.
In short, almost all scholars of this era agree on the idea that humans are atheistic, but human inscriptions must still exist in some corner or secret place, waiting for them to discover them.
After briefly reviewing past research and subsequent speculations, Luo Fan abandoned his plan to continue guessing. After all, humans don't have inscriptions, but I do, and more than one at that; the possibility of me becoming a god is still quite high.
Immediately, Luo Fan felt a special sense of superiority.
But thinking about all that nonsense now is a waste of time. It's better to study the special species, Little Bell.
"Freya, besides stealing, you must have other plans for coming back this time, right?"
"What do you mean by stealing? Can taking my own things be called stealing? I was a bit exhausted from the previous battle, so I'll take this opportunity to record some advanced magic. There are still too few lightning spells in the outside world."
Freya continued flipping through various books, taking notes, looking very studious.
As for Little Bell, under Luo Fan's direction, she flipped through the other books. Since she couldn't understand the magical writing, she could only pretend to be very attentive.
"Freya, did you discover all those theories yourself?" An old man rushed in.
"No, it was Lilith who discovered it. She's currently conducting research at the Demon Sealing Tower."
"So it was her. No wonder. We just tried it, and it did work, but the effect only lasted a short time." The old man sighed and hurriedly left.
When Luo Fan and the others came out of the study, there were many people gathered in the square outside, arguing loudly, giving him the feeling of a vegetable market.
Then, at everyone's request, Freya shared what she knew about her research on magical beasts, and even made analogies, which earned her praise from many people.
She then took the opportunity to mention her desire to study inscriptions, and surprisingly obtained a magic core with lightning-type inscriptions, which was given to her by the same third ancestor.
"Little girl, your Thunderbird is about to advance, right? This inscription should be perfect for it. As for whether it will work, that depends on your luck."
"Thank you, Grandpa Third Ancestor, I love it!" Freya was overjoyed. With Luo Fan around, she wouldn't resort to the old, low-success-rate method of having Shining devour it directly.
Ultimately, it's because humanity has done too little research on Warcraft inscriptions, missing the golden age. Current attempts are merely the simplest forms of utilization.
Back at their lodgings, Freya suddenly jumped up, then looked at Little Bell with pleading eyes.
"Don't even think about it. I definitely won't make a move right now; it's too dangerous. We'll talk about it after we get out."
"Speaking of which, couldn't you have made a few more inscriptions? One is too few, not even enough to fill a tooth gap."
“But it’s already very difficult to get one, and the previous one was stolen.” Luo Fan’s refusal made her feel a little frustrated, even though transferring inscriptions was easy for him.
"There's no such thing as research waste, incomplete materials are fine too! I didn't require it to be lightning-based." Luo Fan explained helplessly, this girl sometimes doesn't know how to be flexible.
"You mean...? If that's the case, we should be able to find some other attributes. Luo Fan, you're really clever."
Sigh, what a load of rubbish. Entering a treasure trove only to pick up scraps, it's infuriating.
"By the way, get more lightning-type spiritual materials. Your Thunderbird is a bit weak; I'm worried it won't be able to withstand the effects of the inscriptions," Luo Fan reminded him, still somewhat concerned.
"Oh, I see."
He still didn't dare to sneak out under the cover of night, after all, Xiaoling'er had already told him that there were many places in the village that were off-limits.
He dared not risk his life to try what those old scholars had researched.
In short, the lightning element that can be seen everywhere in the village seems to carry some kind of special mark, and even the places that Little Bell can go are limited to certain fixed areas.
Releasing a forbidden spell here might not have much effect, given the limited amount of magical energy it can draw. The hidden power of these clans is indeed not to be underestimated!
For the next few days, Luo Fan stayed by Xiao Ling'er's side, running around with Freya and collecting many incomplete inscriptions.
Most of them are ice-type and water-type, with a small number of earth-type and metal-type. As for lightning-type, they are the treasures of these people, and the scraps are fed to their magical pets.
They seem to have an unwritten rule: after breaking through to the level of Grand Magister, they must proactively venture out to explore dangerous places and find research materials for the family. Although they live in seclusion, they are not completely isolated and maintain certain connections with the outside world.
However, through these days of close contact, he did find Xiaoling'er's magic core, which was indeed inside her head, near her throat.
If Luo Fan hadn't known the true appearance of Xianxian and the others' magic cores, he could easily have mistaken Xiaoling'er's. However, the little girl's magic core was indeed not as abundant as Xianxian's and the others', and it was confined to a very small area.
Following her magical pathways and bypassing various nodes, Luo Fan finally figured out the final destination, even going so far as to crawl inside the little girl's mouth to investigate.
Without inscriptions, the magic core is shrinking, and the problems we face are more serious than we imagined!
"Brother Fan, do you really have a way to save me?"
Without a sound-based magic core, perhaps soul power is the key. Luo Fan even misses the Ghost Bat from back then. After we get out, giving her the Soul-Suppressing Bell might have a miraculous effect.
"Of course, I'm very knowledgeable and experienced, you can trust me."
"But I always feel like you're hiding something?" The girl seemed to have seen through Luo Fan's little scheme, and instead felt somewhat frustrated.
"Don't worry. Look at me, a slime, I've reached this level in less than two years. Your problem definitely isn't that difficult; I already have a plan." The little girl's intuition is indeed powerful; she can even detect the other person's lie, which is quite amazing.
No wonder she has so few friends; this must be one of the reasons.
