Chapter 923 The 17 Black and White Magic Books Destroyed, A Terrifying War of Historical Materials!
Faced with the other party's request, Locke pondered for a moment and then suddenly said, "You and I are both archaeological wizards. You should understand that for archaeological wizards, secrets are wealth."
"If I answer your question, in return, as an equivalent price..."
The Wizard of Maxwell smiled.
“Indeed, it seems the world five hundred years from now is still quite interesting. Alright, as a reward for finding me, you can ask me three questions in return for answering this one, and I will try my best to answer them.”
"After all, this is your reward for finding me."
The Wizard of Maxwell crossed his arms.
"It's our archaeological tradition. If you find someone, you can ask them some questions, and that person has to answer them. I've met this old geezer a few times; he's made some kind of bet on me... That guy is always cunning, hypocritical, and good at profiting by deceiving others. But anyway, as is the tradition of archaeological wizards, if you see me, I should give you something."
"Although I didn't intend for anyone to see me."
Locke pondered for a moment, "Three questions?"
One question is exchanging secrets with oneself, and the other two questions are the reward for being able to find a way to face the other person face to face right now.
The other party is really... imitating the founder in every way.
The influence of a high-level wizard on the academic atmosphere of a discipline is indeed very significant.
Locke replied, "It's a supernatural purgatory."
"The supernatural purgatory of the Golden Crown Mountain Senate collected the soul of that werewolf after his death, and he then became a purgatory creature within the purgatory. I found you through him."
Maxwell looked astonished.
"Five hundred years ago, I had no idea that your Golden Crown Mountain Senate possessed such a thing. Has it become public knowledge now?"
"So that's how it is. It turns out it was my moment of kindness back then."
Maxwell gave a wry smile.
"What a joke, what a cruel twist of fate."
Maxwell the wizard said, “After I taught the werewolf magic, he quickly became arrogant. In fact, the moment I saw him, I knew he was weak-willed. Before he gained power, he could still live a normal life. But after he gained power, he will have difficulty controlling himself.”
"It's like I gave a child a knife, which is equivalent to giving that child a disaster."
"It's a matter of perspective. If I give that child a knife, will the child grow up faster? No, it won't. He'll just end up killing himself before he even has a chance to grow up, simply because he already has that knife."
"I conducted this experiment with the child and the knife to see whether the impact of the Enlightenment on the endless void was positive or negative."
Locke nodded. It was impressive that the other party dared to conduct such an experiment at the ordinary second-ring stage.
However, these things are none of my business.
My purpose in coming here is to find out about the war that took place five hundred years ago between the archaeologists at the border between the dark and light regions.
Maxwell the wizard said, "I was still hesitant, but who knew he would be so persistent, so I taught him magic anyway. Later, he killed more and more people in that small world, and with his power, he began to hunt down all the magic users in the world. He killed them all."
"This werewolf, who knelt before my door for a year and a half and claimed that he was learning magic for justice, killed all his opponents for his own benefit."
"Later, I felt there was no need to continue the experiment, so I terminated it and took him away from that little world. I left him near Mount Jinmian because at the time I was disguised and studying in Mount Jinmian."
"Later, it seems that he was too arrogant and dared to attack a wizard in the wizarding world, a wizard from a small mountain. He eventually paid the price with his life, as the wizard regarded him as a dark wizard and killed him."
The wizard Maxwell smiled wryly and said, "There's a second reason why I say it's the cycle of nature. I once told this to an old man, and I used wizards from other disciplines to find him. Who knew that now, in the dark, other wizards have also found my trail by using a supernatural purgatory built by a power master—the Wizard's Secret Realm."
“Back then, I had cleared all the negative energy particle fields related to me from his body, and I thought no one could find me out from him. Who knew this would happen.”
Locke pondered, "I see. I was wondering why you left such a huge flaw. I guess it's because the souls in the Supernatural Purgatory aren't the true souls of a single living being, but merely aggregates of fluctuations. Therefore, although you destroyed what was connected to you within him, those things reappeared in the Supernatural Purgatory."
The wizard Maxwell said, "That should be the case."
"I don't understand kinetics, but that should be true."
"Then you may ask me questions," said the wizard Maxwell.
Locke said, "My first question is, I want to know if the Black and White Codexes were destroyed during the war between the archaeologists and wizards at the border between the light and darkness, as recorded in this travelogue?"
Maxwell's pupils constricted slightly.
"I see."
"Yes, some were destroyed. There were a total of 17 destroyed Black and White Grimoires."
"Because the Black and White Grimoires can be regarded as the magical artifacts of an archaeological wizard, and the best kind at that. Therefore, destroying the magical artifacts of the opposing school, or preventing such magical artifacts from being taken by the opposing school to strengthen their school, has become the key point of the war. And with the development of the times, the one hundred Black and White Grimoires, which were originally indestructible from the beginning, have become possible to be destroyed."
"During that war, two special magical artifacts appeared that could destroy the Black and White Codex. One was called the [Black Bone Great Sacrifice Blade], and the other was called the [Pale Hunting Dagger]. The sudden appearance of these two weapons in the historical war was not a coincidence in retrospect; more than one force wanted to destroy the Black and White Codex."
Locke had initially thought the historical war that took place at the border between darkness and light was just a small-scale conflict, but who knew it would turn out to be such an exaggerated war.
Locke wondered why such a brutal war had no history at this moment. Could it be that a decree from above could really erase history?
But this is better.
If 17 copies of the Black and White Codex were destroyed in that war, then entering the parallel history of that war would be the most likely way for me to obtain the Black and White Codex.
Locke considered for a moment and then asked the second crucial question.
"I need specific information about that war. Please give it to me."
Maxwell the wizard scoffed. "What's so difficult about that?"
He chanted the incantation, and a spell flew out and landed on him, instantly granting him access to the relevant information.
Locke's pupils suddenly contracted.
I obtained it myself.
With this information about the historical war, you can activate the parallel history spell and directly enter that historical war.
Locke quickly glanced at the information. Although Maxwell hadn't given him the full details of the War of the Ages, he had given him information on a local battle.
This information mentions more than a dozen wizarding universities.
There are more than a dozen Third Ring Wizards and Throne Wizards involved.
This even involved a conflict between several truth wizards.
This is not like the Five Great Wars of Yunze Wetland, which appear to be wars but are actually just a means of assessment; it is a genuine civil war among wizards.
Locke sensed the scale of this war.
Maxwell the wizard looked at Locke and suddenly said, "I'll give you some good news for free. The higher-ups... don't like anyone knowing the inside story of the Historical Wars. So smart people won't delve too deeply into this stuff." "If you delve too deeply into this stuff, you'll end up like me, completely unknown in the open wizarding world."
Locke had a knot in his heart.
indeed.
Maxwell, who loved the limelight, wanted to compete with the ancients for the right to speak and leave his name in the most important ancient tombs.
He wants to become history.
Why would such a person disappear in modern times?
The wizard Maxwell looked at Locke and said, "Having asked those two questions, you should have gotten what you wanted. Now, do you have any further questions?"
Locke asked Maxwell, "My third question, Mr. Maxwell, why were you blacklisted by 'the higher-ups'?"
Locke's eyes flickered, and he asked directly.
After all, as an archaeological wizard, he was indeed very interested in secrets, so he directly asked about the mystery that he was currently most interested in.
Maxwell sat in his chair, his body still in the quantum blinking posture.
"You idiot, it seems every archaeological wizard dies because of curiosity."
He raised his left hand, pointing his index finger to the sky.
"Above? In today's world, which other 'above' has such power?"
"Moreover, it's not just me who's been blacklisted, it's the entire discipline related to me that's been blacklisted. You probably haven't heard of 'Experimental Historical Sociology,' have you? Heh, there's no point in writing it down now, it's just a waste of your brain cells."
"Currently, any journal covering this subject area will be reviewed by the ethics review committee. Any application in this subject area will definitely be rejected by the granting body."
Wizards in this discipline are prohibited from using important equipment such as key laboratories and key archives. They are also prohibited from setting up related sub-forums at inter-wizard academic conferences.
"Students from areas without a designated area will be assigned to this subject..."
"This is an erasure of my entire discipline."
"Without academic support, funding, resources, or opportunities for exchange, I was forced to hide away. Alas."
Maxwell the wizard said, "Simply because I conducted an experiment using experimental historical sociology that was extremely dangerous for the White Wizarding Society."
Locke looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Maxwell the wizard smirked and said coldly, "I simulated a world where dark wizards existed before white wizards, the opposite of our current world. I wanted to deduce that future. And the result..."
Locke asked, "What were the results of the experiment?"
The wizard Maxwell looked at Locke, then suddenly stood up. "This is the fourth question. You've broken the taboo. You can't just take any answer from an archaeological wizard for free."
I'm very angry with you.
"Knowing this won't do you any good. Locke Augustine, don't interfere in other people's fates."
Locke was surprised that the other party immediately said his name.
He saw a model of a historical reenactment appear in the hands of the wizard Maxwell.
It's just unknown whether the history re-enactment spell model used by a virtual character within this own history re-enactment spell model can transmit the acquired information to the other party's original body.
The Wizard of Maxwell said, "Alright. I will eliminate this only loophole."
The spell model of the History Recreation Spell in his hand changed, becoming the History Boundary Marker Spell. A huge boundary marker descended from the sky, smashing towards the demon werewolf within the History Recreation Spell model.
The young werewolf demon seemed terrified; he was powerless to resist, and the next moment, his head was smashed open.
At the same time, it wasn't just the Demon King Werewolf's head that was smashed open, but also the spell model of Locke's History Reenactment Spell.
"wrong."
Locke looked at the negative energy particle field flowing within his spell model.
"No way, could the Historical Boundary Marker Curse really attack negative energy particle fields?"
Locke discovered that the entire negative energy particle field was being destroyed by the historical landmark curse.
Because this negative energy particle field was above the Supernatural Purgatory, the entire Supernatural Purgatory was affected.
The werewolf king, residing in the supernatural purgatory, stared blankly at the sky, at the scene that seemed destined for destruction.
His memories of Maxwell were rapidly fading from his mind.
At Golden Crown Mountain, in the Longevity Peach Garden, Antoine stood on the inherited witchcraft array, completely stunned.
why?
Because at this moment, the inherited witchcraft array is vibrating.
Antoine incredulously cast a power magic model to stabilize the inherited witch array.
"No, how come the Supernatural Purgatory is already showing signs of collapse so soon after Locke entered it?"
"What did that guy do in there?"
Because the Historical Boundary Marker Curse killed the werewolf demon king from the past in the replay of history, it can be considered that it has gained the authority to reopen the gates of the supernatural purgatory.
Locke was teleported out of the supernatural purgatory.
At the same time, the wizard Fisher used some kind of teleportation magic to appear before them. He looked at Antoine and asked, "What have you done?"
Antoine looked completely innocent.
"I do not know."
Wizard Fisher looked at Locke.
"What exactly did you do?"
"Never mind, we'll talk about it later."
Wizard Fisher quickly chanted a spell, and as he chanted, the magic power on his body began to fluctuate. A huge ball of energy condensed in his left hand, and then he raised his left hand. In a very short time, the ball of energy expanded to the size of a castle.
He punched downwards, slamming his fist into the ground and stabilizing the Supernatural Purgatory!
