Chapter 521. 520. The Book of Miracles
Lin Jun did not rush to get Julia out of the cell.
In fact, whether she comes out or not makes no difference to Lin Jun.
What Lin Jun needs now is not for her to travel around spreading the doctrine, but to purify her faith in the "God of Puji".
To some extent, the isolated environment of the prison cell provided her with an excellent setting for meditation.
With her body confined in prison, she could focus more intently on envisioning the promised future, allowing her faith to grow stronger through repeated contemplation.
During this time, her husband tried to visit her, looking worried but trying to remain calm and comfort his wife. In the end, he was the one who ended up being comforted by her.
Lin Jun decided to maintain the status quo for the time being. Anyway, she had already set up the "Emergency Hotline No. 12" for her, so nothing bad was going to happen. If things really went wrong, she would just feed No. 12 to Xiao Hei for a month and then find another suitable sample herself.
Once the delegation returns, Inanna can easily find some excuse to get Julia out.
Lin Jun then focused her energy again on analyzing how to use the Sunstone and studying the Book of Miracles.
Thanks to the ancient experimental records discovered in the abyss space of the Puji Dungeon, Lin Jun finally figured out a way to actively activate the Sunstone.
Before this, whether it was absorbing energy through photosynthesis or splitting one's own soul to create the Mushroom Clan, it was only a rudimentary use of the passive properties of this artifact.
Using the God of Light's notes, Lin Jun came up with many unorthodox methods of using them.
However, we still need to find a suitable occasion to test the effect.
As for the Book of Miracles, this tome itself is a creation of some kind of abyssal magic.
When it was first delivered to Sigismund, it was sealed in a multi-spell metal box nearly half a meter thick and transported by a specially made vehicle.
Emperor Mortis even added a note warning him "not to cause any trouble related to the abyss within the empire's borders."
Once the seal is broken, the book becomes like a miniature abyss rift, continuously radiating the knowledge it carries outwards and forcibly infusing it into the minds of nearby creatures.
However, this information flow is much slower than the real abyss, and even Xiaoxi can withstand it alone for a period of time.
Theoretically, Lin Jun doesn't need to learn it; she can simply sleep with it and naturally acquire the knowledge within. However, that would be too inefficient.
The content was quite profound, which made Lin Jun rediscover the pain of studying.
The Book of Miracles records several relatively stable abyssal rituals.
Although the conditions for performing this technique are demanding and risks still exist, at least these risks are kept within a controllable range, including the method of summoning abyssal beasts.
It cleverly separates the Abyss Core and the Abyss Beast's body into two rituals, so that even if it goes out of control, the Abyss Beast without the Abyss Core will stop moving within a few minutes of being summoned, minimizing the harm.
However, these are not the true essence of this book.
The rituals recorded in the book are more like "success stories" used to corroborate its true core content.
The truly important content of this book lies in finding patterns within the abyss of disorder, providing a complete method for "making a wish" to the abyss.
In theory, you can use this method to create countless rituals to fulfill any wish you desire.
Of course, if it were really that convenient, the emperor would have used it to realize his ambition of ruling the world long ago, and would not have given it to Xiaoxi so easily.
This method is similar to a targeted retrieval technique, where you need to lock onto specific "conceptual anchors" in the ritual to filter out the vast and disordered torrent of information.
Just like you can use it to lock onto "apple", but whether what comes out is a bright red, edible apple or some kind of square box is unknown, but at least it won't pop out a pear for you.
In reality, these "concepts" that serve as anchors are not simply imagined out of thin air.
You must personally retrieve those fragments carrying specific meanings from the turbulent information flow of the abyss.
Often, only a tiny fraction of a whole string of junk information is what you need.
You will have to collect a large number of such fragments, engrave them simultaneously on complex ritual arrays, and cross-verify them in order to find out what you really want.
Not to mention that this creation process required the consumption of a massive number of slaves and prisoners as fuel.
The emperor did not believe that Sigismund would attempt to create his own rituals; his request for the Book of Miracles was most likely for the sake of the more established rituals contained within it.
In fact, even Sigismund himself thought so.
While creatures like the Abyss Beasts are indeed very powerful, they pose no threat to the emperor or his rule.
As for Sigismund being so arrogant as to actually intend to research his own rituals... His Majesty the Emperor also said, if you're going to do something reckless, don't do it within the Empire.
Lin Jun is very interested in the "miracle" itself.
However, firstly, the content of this book is very difficult, more difficult than any magic book Lin Jun had read before, and secondly, Lin Jun has not yet found a suitable place to do something reckless.
Therefore, there has been no further action at the moment.
Everyone at the mushroom farm is busy these days.
In order to adapt to the armor, the little pig set its sights on the former half-demon leader who had been living a leisurely life. The latter had recently become a real punching bag, and of course, the little pig paid a lot of contribution points for him.
Norris received an enhanced version of Jida, and Lin Jun added new functions to the Puji inside, such as electric tentacles, corrosive aura, and limb-severing emission.
Not only that, Lin Jun has also given Norris new skills, such as the ability to now leave the capsule undetected...
Meanwhile, at Fungus Castle, Starfire and Yellow Book continued to deploy city defense magic.
Torin is also analyzing the battle puppet technology that was brought out.
However, although this young master of the Deep Furnace Clan knew more about this subject than the average person due to his upbringing, he was indeed not cut out for research.
He's been writing to his brother recently, hoping to find some more professional guys to help him, but he doesn't know if anyone will dare to come.
...
Meanwhile, the kingdom's delegation led by Inanna encountered a problem after successfully passing through the Scarecrow Abyss.
There is a small town that is currently in a state of neglect. Although bloodshed often occurs, the town is still thriving thanks to the influx of people brought by Puji's safe passage through the Scarecrow Abyss.
Now that the war is over, it won't be long before the elves or dwarves take over the management of the town and get everything back on track.
However, when Inanna and her group arrived, the town was unusually deserted.
The locals seem to have all disappeared.
The deserted shops were looted by the adventurers who arrived earlier, but instead of leaving immediately, they all moved into the tavern, drinking free drinks and waiting for more newcomers.
After all, everyone could see that something was wrong with the town, and no one wanted to be a scout. The more timid ones had already returned to the Scarecrow Abyss.
Until Inanna and the others arrived.
