Chapter 20

After walking through the tunnel, Leylin and the others came to a study-room-like place.

The four walls were filled with bookshelves, yet not a single book was to be seen, He knew where all of them were, as he has already copied it all.

As for the large table in the centre, there was a black box placed neatly on it.

Behind the study desk, there was a chair and a strange oil painting.

The oil painting showed a mysterious emblem—countless mystical runes formed a snake. The snake traced its own tail, forming the picture of a circle!

"I have obtained many benefits here, especially with the books and potion formula, originally I was worried about the safe keep of all these herbs here, but now When A. I. Chip assort these information I can set up many restrictions denying even Official Magus any entry. Right now, there only thing left is the inheritance of the great Magus Serholm!"

On the study desk, there was a black box. On it was a few thin patterns, as if formed by little snakes.

Leylin reached out his right hand to open the black box.

*Pa!* The lid of the black box was opened.

In the box was a thick, black book. As for the other empty areas in the box, it was filled with a type of red silk, looking extravagant.

Leylin picked up the book. *Ka-Cha!* A mechanical sound reverberated throughout the room.

Leylin looked at the bottom of the interior of the box after taking the book.

At the bottom, where after the black book was removed, a Byron language sentence was written in cursive font. "Inheritor! When you take away this 'Book of Giant Serpent', the whole secret plane will self-destruct within 3 hourglasses worth of time."

This row of words was written in blood and seemed extremely striking.

"It was quite nice of you to tell."Leylin mocked.

Leylin flipped open the Book of Giant Serpent.

"A.I. Chip! Record information!"

The whole book was extremely thick and was written in tiny characters. It was even written in code. If it was any other person, he would most likely not be able to even finish reading the preface of the book before the time of 3 hourglasses was up.

However, Leylin was different. He flipped through the Book of Giant Serpent. In his eyes a blue light surfaced, and the A.I. Chip continuously recorded the information.

In less than the time of half an hourglass, Leylin already flipped through the Book of Giant Serpent once.

[Information sort is in progress…. Deleting useless information obtained the real content from the Book of Giant Serpent!] [667 pages of travel notes, 78 experiment notes, 12 rank 1 spell models, 3 rank 2 spell models!]

The A.I. Chip quickly sent the information to Leylin's brain.

"Now it's time to take the high-grade meditation technique!" Leylin calmly said and stared fixedly at a most suspicious-looking oil painting.

At this moment, Leylin took out the tiny cheap yellow bronze ring within his robes radiating heat. He obtained it from Roman's remains

This ring seemed to be extremely average — there was even some scratches and rust on it. Inscribed on the surface of the ring was the letter 'K', which seemed to represent the emblem of some organisation.

Leylin stroked the yellow bronze ring on his finger.

The closer he walked to the oil painting, the more heat the ring emitted. Moreover, there was even light emitting from the letter 'K'.

*Ka-Cha!* *Ka-Cha!*

On the bottom area of the oil painting, part of it fell, revealing an empty hole which had the 'K' symbol, the same as the ring.

Leylin fitted the ring in the gap! *Bang!* Both sides seamed tightly, and a strange energy wave radiated from it.

*Sssii!*!

The black snake in runes on the oil painting seemed to come alive and a scarlet gleam was there its eyes. It continuously chased after its tail, spinning within the painting.

The spinning speed of the black snake kept increasing, finally turning into a black hole.

In the hole, there was the space of a small cabinet. In it was a cage that was made of crimson lightning.

*Bang!*

An ancient voice suddenly sounded in Leylin's brain.

"The test has begun. Begin to portray this spell formation within 30 seconds!" A yellow, illusory figure, formed by the spell, appeared in front of Leylin.

"A.I. Chip! Immediately decrypt with full operational capabilities!"

With Leylin's order, a bright blue light flashed in his eyes. This was the greatest calculation abilities that the A.I. Chip projected.

[Mission establishing, beginning analysis…] The A.I. Chip loyally carried out its duty, very soon projecting the completed spell formation in Leylin's brain.

"Construction completed; next test. Within 30 seconds construct this spell formation!" This time, it was a blue formation.

Leylin rolled his eyes and continued to use the A.I. Chip to analyse.

Afterwards, it was the third spell formation, black coloured. This time, the required analysis surpassed Leylin's expectations. Right before the 30 seconds timer was up he then managed to complete the formation.

However, at this moment, the yellow, blue and black formation in his brain began to converge suddenly.

*Ka-Cha!* After the 3 spell formations instantly merged, it turned into a scarlet coloured spell formation. On the surface, it was filled with many mysterious runes.

*Sssii!* The scarlet lightning behind the oil painting seemed to have been attracted to him and entered Leylin's body immediately.

"My inheritor! You must have the courage and wise, be astute and filled with knowledge. Only then, can you break through the shackles of Bloodline…"

That ancient voice sounded once again in Leylin's mind.

At this moment, the A.I. Chip indicated, [A spiritual force data has been received, to accept or deny transmission?]

"Accept!"

Following which, Leylin felt that his brain was stuffed with a load full of information, similar to when he received his meditation technique when he first entered the academy.

A massive stream of information continuously entered his brain and was sorted by the A.I. Chip.

"The book is a copy of high-grade meditation technique. It is only for warlocks who carries the bloodline of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent…"

[Warning! Warning! Time left for the place to collapsing: 5 Minutes 56 Seconds! It has already reached the limit that the Host has set!] The A.I. Chip reminded Leylin once again.

"Run!" Leylin started running immediately and commanded his knights.

When he started to run out of the study, he glanced quickly at the Room.

"Although you did this to find an inheritor, Still Thank You, Grand Magus Serholm. I will fulfill your last wish and break the Bloodline Shackles for sure"

After walking away from the study room, he found himself inside the Dylan Gardens which was barren now, He felt a strange satisfaction from seeing that no herb got destroyed, He always felt it was a pity for it to be wasted.

After running through the metal passage, He returned to the cave where he fought with Black Horrall snake.

"Starier Guderian!" Leylin had all knights touch his shoulder.

This was the password recorded in the Book of Giant Serpent for leaving the secret plane.

After the chant, Leylin and his men were enshrouded in a red lightning and immediately disappeared from the cave.
