Chapter 1166: Chapter 655 Nais Scroll_2
What exactly is Philancy’s background?
Only someone who is more than an ordinary Legendary Arcanist would be able to wield a Nais Scroll.
Unintentionally, I have stumbled upon a gold mine beyond imagination.
"Yes, this spellbook was made with a Nais Scroll, named the Scroll of Ioleum." Since Philancy let Gaven enter her Mage Tower and see this spellbook, she had no intention of continuing to hide it.
"Scroll of Ioleum? Don’t tell me that the Great Arcanist Ioleum was your teacher!!!" Gaven’s tone rose uncontrollably by three pitches.
There was no helping it, Ioleum was just too famous in Toril. He was the greatest Great Arcanist of the Nesserel Empire, without equal. His birth was regarded by posterity as a symbol of the rise of the Nesserel Empire. Merely creating the first Nais Core and raising the first Floating City, Xinlernal, was enough to etch his name in the annals of Toril’s civilization, never to be erased.
Not to mention, his series of achievements in the arcane - he popularized arcane knowledge, founded a series of Arcane Academies, and trained a large number of low to intermediate Arcanists, providing a mass base for the rising of Floating Cities – do you think a Great Arcanist, accompanied by a bunch of Combat Profession Practitioners who know nothing about spells, could raise a Floating City?
Each Floating City is a huge airborne warship, capable not only of flying in the sky but also of entering other Planes. Operating it requires the coordination of a large number of Spellcasters.
The reason no power can raise a Floating City now is not just due to the loss of manufacturing methods but also the lack of a sufficient spellcasting population base. Even the current Mage Kingdom of Halruaa, compared to the peak of the Nesserel Empire, has less than one-tenth its national power, and its magic education popularization doesn’t even reach one percent.
Frankly speaking, the mage system inscribed in the Magic Network uses the prototype created by Ioleum. However, his most talked-about spells are two Legendary Spells - Ioleum Longevity Technique and Nesserel Dragon Transformation Spell.
The Nesserel Dragon Transformation Spell is as straightforward as its name suggests. It allows the Spellcaster to transform into a Giant Dragon, not only in appearance but also embodying a series of dragon-specific, Supernatural Abilities, such as Ferocious Momentum, Dragon Breath, and even some personality traits tend to align with the type of Giant Dragon they transform into, truly becoming an incarnation of a dragon.
It is said that in order to research this Spell, Ioleum dissected dozens of dragons from different races, from young dragons to Ancient Giant Dragons. Both Metal and Colored Dragons marked him as the most hated human. The Nesserel Dragon Transformation Spell was considered a sacrilege to dragons. Upon encountering a user of this Spell, not only would Colored Dragons launch an unprovoked Attack, but Metal Dragons would also likely engage in direct combat.
Because this Spell touched on the sanctity and inviolable status of dragons. For a dragon to grow into its ancient stage, it needs to live for at least a thousand years, while a human Spellcaster only needs a few hundred or even just decades. By acquiring Life Dice that match the transformed Giant Dragon, a single Legendary Spell can achieve this, and if everyone could transform into dragons, what would become of these true dragons?
Thanks to the relentless efforts of all dragons, the Nesserel Dragon Transformation Spell was lost, at least no one on the Felen Continent dares to publicly claim they possess it.
The Ioleum Longevity Technique is one of the best options for the Short-Lived Races in pursuit of longevity. With this Spell, Ioleum lived for more than three thousand years as a human, which is the most precious aspect of this Spell. Other methods of longevity, such as Liches and Vampires, change the nature of the race itself, requiring the sacrifice of many things (such as human emotions) and carry severe curses (such as vampires’ fear of sunlight and bloodthirst).
However, this Legendary Spell was not widely disseminated from the beginning. Aside from Ioleum himself, only one other person knew how to use it, his closest disciple Tabola. Legend has it that she used this Spell to slaughter a Soul Sucker Monster city named Eiren-tao a thousand years ago.
The spellbook of Ioleum is the most likely to record these two great Legendary Spells.
This also explains why Philancy, as an Arcanist, knows so much about Arcane Adepts and helped Gaven build the formidable Arcane Soul Tower.
Because the Arcane Adept, this advanced Profession, was created by Ioleum in the later stages of his life. Because of this, he angered the entire race of Soul Sucker Monsters and ultimately died at their hands.
"I didn’t have the opportunity to receive teachings from the Great Arcanist." Philancy denied, "But my profession inheritance is indeed related to him. He was my teacher’s teacher."
"Teacher’s teacher?" Gaven’s eyes lit up, "Your teacher couldn’t possibly be Tabola, could she?"
Tabola was the backup choice that Gaven had prepared for his path as an Arcane Adept, located only a few hundred kilometers from here, in a village market town called Bagweit Inn.
The reason she was considered a backup option was not because she wasn’t strong enough; on the contrary, it was because she was too powerful. She was an ancient entity who lived for nearly two thousand years. To exact revenge for Ioleum, she once slaughtered a large Mind Flayer Demon City, an act that granted her an almost eternal life.
