Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 239: Deception and Wisdom
When Marvin arrived at the Thousand Leaves Forest as quickly as possible, he clearly felt that this forest, which was very peaceful in the past, had become full of dangers.
The number of Elf Guards became more and more, and they all looked a little tired.
However, with the balance of power of the Fire of Order, the monsters near the Thousand Leaves Forest were not too rampant.
The information obtained from Medili was that after that bloody incident, Ibrahimovic was officially crowned as the new Great Elf King.
Marvin was very clear about this.
He personally directed the bloodshed in order to eliminate dissidents.
In this cruel era, democracy and freedom have become luxuries. What the wood elves need is a leader who can lead his people to survive, rather than an inefficient council of elders who only fight among themselves.
But what surprised Marvin was that the Queen of Sea Elves actually became Ibrahimovic's princess.
This news is said to have come from the mouth of a captain of the Elf Iron Guard in the Thousand Leaves Forest. It is not known whether it is reliable or not.
Ibrahimovic and Marvin have contacted each other several times, but neither of them is idle now and has important things to do.
The only thing they can do is to wish each other well.
When Ibrahimovic was crowned the Great Elf King, Marvin was still fighting in the Crimson Wasteland, so he didn't go either.
The only good news is that even if Ibrahimovic really wants to hold a wedding, he has to wait until all these messy things are settled.
Marvin would not miss his good friend's wedding - although he was curious about how a male elf who claimed to dislike women was conquered by the sea elf queen, he would rather believe that the gossip was true.
Ibrahimovic has extraordinary talent, his only shortcoming is that he is a bit sloppy.
It seems that the Sea Elves Queen is the most suitable woman for him.
Both of them are well matched in terms of personality and status.
…
However, when Marvin arrived at the Thousand Leaves Forest, he did not inform Ibrahimovic.
Before heading to the First Mountain Range to look for the Tablet of Destiny, he would naturally greet this close friend, and he would also have to meet the high-level female elf Die mentioned by the Bloody Emperor.
But before all this, he had to go to the Night Walker's Underground Palace.
In fact, as he got closer and closer to the Night Walker's Underground Palace, the premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
The words on the Book of Wisdom almost came out of his body.
Those strange words stuck tightly to Marvin's skin, flashing with silver light, and Marvin looked like a firefly from a distance!
This left him speechless.
He couldn't control the words on the Book of Wisdom. If he remained in this state, how could he sneak or become invisible?
So he had to solve this problem first.
The page of the Book of Naaru in the Night Walker's Underground Palace holds the answer to everything.
…
After obtaining the leader's key from the old blacksmith, Marvin could directly enter the Night Walker's Underground Palace without passing any tests.
He quickly found the bookshelf where he had advanced to the Lord of Darkness, and then found the page of the Book of Naaru.
This is the first page of the Book of Naaru——[Origin]!
When the page of parchment was in his palm, something magical happened.
The remaining five pages of the Book of Naaru in the storage equipment actually dispersed automatically and then appeared automatically.
A total of six pages of the Book of Naaru were suspended in the air, forming a light yellow circle.
There was a rustling sound.
It was as if a thick page of history book was constantly being turned over.
A powerful attraction was generated between the six pages of the Book of Naaru. Under Marvin's gaze, the Book of Naaru suddenly began to condense together!
This time, it is true fusion!
At this moment, Madeline of Riverside City, the two legends of the White River Valley, and Riven of the Underdark all suddenly turned pale, weak, and collapsed to the ground!
They could feel their lives becoming extremely weak.
They felt as if death was right before their eyes.
However, they were powerless to resist this matter!
From the moment they handed over their souls to the Book of Naaru, they actually no longer had their own souls.
All they have is a body that can survive.
…
Marvin was also shocked.
The Book of Naaru has a total of eleven pages, and the previous five pages combination does not have such a strange effect.
Then the problem should appear on the first page.
Why does the Book of Wisdom give such strong hints?
Could it be that the key to assembling this artifact is on this first page?
Marvin's doubts did not last long.
The six pages of the Book of Naaru rotated in a circle, and in the darkness, a chanting sound seemed to be heard.
The chanting was almost like wailing, but also had a bit of intonation, like a spell, and like a song.
In an instant, Marvin felt as if his mind exploded!
It was as if in the chaotic universe, a powerful force suddenly exploded, and thus, life was born.
A large amount of information flooded into Marvin's brain frantically, and Marvin knelt down in pain.
His eyes began to turn white.
Fortunately, at this time, the words on the Book of Wisdom finally returned to Marvin's brain quickly, blocking all the information flows!
Perhaps out of fear that Marvin could not bear all this information, the words in the Book of Wisdom directly blocked all the information.
All the information disappeared, and the swelling feeling in Marvin's mind disappeared as well.
The only scene and information he saw was——
A newly born secret realm slowly separated and gave birth to his main plane.
The owner of the secret realm is a young-looking man named Lance.
There were figures standing behind him, like gods standing in the clouds.
At that time, the secret realm was still very simple, with only the monotonous colors of light and dark filling everything.
[Lance stood in the center of the world, feeling the chaotic magic, and frowned:
“It’s too messy.”
"This magic power is too chaotic. No, we must build a giant magic power pool to protect the new continent in the secret realm."
That giant pool of magic power will be called the [Cosmic Magic Pool].
As for the rising continent before our eyes, what is its name?
Lance pondered for a while, and suddenly, a noun jumped into his mind.
He clapped his hands and settled down:
"Just call him [Fenan]."】
(See my work "Headshot Wizard")
…
"That is..."
"The scene of the wizard god creating the world?"
Marvin was stunned.
He didn't expect that the Book of Naaru contained such ancient information!
He only saw the tip of the iceberg. So what kind of secrets from ancient times did the intercepted information contain?
He tried to recall the previous information, but to no avail.
Because all that information was destroyed by the Book of Wisdom.
Those words were made out of the decision made by Marvin's brain to defend himself. Marvin was also helpless about this.
Most likely, I don’t have enough ability to receive that information.
When Marvin came back to his senses from the scene of Lance's creation, the Book of Naaru in front of him had completely changed.
The rough parchment remained unchanged, the only difference was that there was an extra line of ancient divine language on the spine:
[Book of Naaru]
He held the book in his hands and was surprised to find that at this time, the Book of Naaru had finally become a real equipment!
In the data column, the properties of the Book of Naaru are clearly displayed:
[Book of Naaru]
[Quality: Artifact (6/11 missing)]
[Requirements: Unparalleled will]
[Attribute 1: The holder ignores all mental laws]
[Attribute 2: You will gain the ability to automatically identify lies]
[Special Effect 1: Heart of Deception - You can have a certain number of permanent slaves, the specific number depends on your will and strength]
[Special Effect 2: Soul of the Deceiver - Whenever you use this special effect, your lies will become the Book of Naaru, and no one will question them; use once a day, lasts for 15 minutes]
[Special Effect 3: Violent Heart - Makes the target group irritable, unable to control their power, and self-destructs and dies]
…
The properties of the Book of Naaru are worthy of being a divine artifact.
Even if you only collect half of them, you will have the most magical power in the world.
See through lies and deception.
In terms of attributes, whether it is [Ignore all mental laws] or [Automatically gain the ability to detect lies], they are both very powerful.
The former can make Marvin completely immune to the control of all mental laws. Whether it is the spiritual spells of legendary wizards or the illusion laws of gods, they will be ineffective against Marvin!
With the Book of Naaru in hand, Marvin can beat the God of Dreams to the ground!
Because his best ability was completely defeated by Marvin!
The ability to automatically detect lies is also very important.
In the future battles with gods and demons, conspiracies and lies will become commonplace; if Marvin can continue to see the truth, then this will become an information advantage .
Marvin can fully exploit this information asymmetry to make a fuss.
As for special effects, Marvin had already understood the heart of deception.
The Soul of the Trickster allows Marvin to deceive others, and it is a perfect deception.
Violent Heart is a group attack ability, which is most suitable for attacking people.
"No matter how I look at it, it seems that this Book of Naaru is specially prepared for me. These skills are a bit insidious, but I like them!"
Ma Wen was very happy.
However, at this moment, he discovered that pages of text began to appear on the Book of Naaru!
Unfortunately, these characters were all ancient divine language, and Ma Wen couldn’t understand a single word.
"What about the Book of Naaru that produced its own wisdom?"
"Did it get swallowed up during the fusion?"
Marvin was a little strange.
Ever since the Book of Wisdom appeared, the wise Book of Naaru has lost its spirituality and no longer communicates with Marvin.
Otherwise, he could also try to learn how to decipher the ancient divine language from it.
"Are we going to look for Butterfly?"
"She is a high elf, so she should know something about the ancient language, right?"
Marvin was a little confused.
The Book of Naaru is still a relatively important trump card for Marvin.
Although Die should be a good person, it is not appropriate for Ma Wen to rashly hand over such an important artifact to others.
Could it be——Moonlight Tower?
There should be scholars there who understand the ancient language of the gods.
But what exactly is the message that emerges from the Book of Naaru?
Can it be leaked?
This is Marvin's biggest headache.
He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly a strange idea flashed through his mind.
He tried to control the silver ancient characters in his mind.
He wanted these ancient silver characters to help him decipher the Book of Naaru.
Although he didn't know where this idea came from, his instinct told him that there might be a chance.
After all, it was these ancient characters that drove Marvin to come to the Night Walker's Underground Palace to find the first page of the Book of Naaru.
As a result, Marvin's attempt was successful.
The silver words began to condense on the tips of Marvin's five fingers.
Marvin stroked the parchment with his hand, and the ancient divine language automatically turned into lines of common language. The first words were as follows:
[To those who have received this book, please believe what I say.]
【Maybe the truth is so shocking to you, but this does not affect the fact that he is the truth itself. 】
[I am Dokris, you may be used to calling me another name: the God of Fraud]
[I used all my divine power to see the history clearly and foresee the future]
[This world is about to be engulfed in flames. If you are the one I predicted, please be careful.]
[Because your road is destined to be full of thorns, you can only be alone on this road]
You may be betrayed
[But you must be strong]
[Because this is the only thing that can help us when we encounter difficult times]
…
Ma Wen finished reading the preface in a daze.
To be honest, after translating this passage into the common language, Marvin always felt that something essential was missing.
He could only take it literally.
What exactly is the Book of Naaru?
Ma Wen didn’t understand, and the others didn’t understand even more.
Some believe it is a conspiracy by the Trickster God.
Some people also believe that there is another mystery behind this.
Since Marvin has chosen to collect six pages of the Book of Naaru, he will definitely go all the way.
With the Book of Wisdom as a foundation, he really wanted to know what kind of person the God of Fraud, who was known as the most cunning and resourceful of the ancient gods, was?
What on earth does he want to do?
So Marvin continued reading.
The Book of Naaru has a total of six pages, and Marvin reads it very quickly.
Fifteen minutes later.
Marvin finished reading it.
He just felt cold all over.
Because he did not collect all the Books of Naaru, the content recorded on each page is actually somewhat inconsistent.
Marvin could only sort out what he knew from the limited information.
But even with this limited information, Marvin still found it a bit difficult to digest.
"The God of Fraud is the God of Wisdom? Are these two ancient gods actually the same person?"
"His death was not a natural one, but was due to his insight into the future of Fenan's plane?"
"The Fenan world is about to face a catastrophe of destruction, and the mastermind behind all this is actually——the will of the Fenan plane itself!?"
"Lance is in league with the God of Wisdom. He wants to replace Fenan's Plane Will and become the true Supreme God?"
"The breath of destruction was not released by Lance, but the seeds planted by Fenan's plane will for many years..."
Marvin was going crazy!
What was recorded in the Book of Naaru was completely different from what the God of Truth told him!
The good guys and the bad guys are completely switched!
Which side is true?
Marvin was confused.
…
