Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

Although this spell book doesn't look like anything special, the original Hylan Empire went to great lengths to hide it in a stone slab and locked it with a special magic item as a key. There must be a reason for this. .

Ron studied until late into the night, and soon found out what was special about it - when he opened the copying page of this spell book, he could read the words on it without any hindrance, no matter what he was looking at at the same time. , understand specific information such as how to use it, and remember everything instantly!

But Ron deeply suspected that this was not the full effect of this book - using a key that could use the three-ring lightning beam six times a day to keep a permanent first-ring book that knew language and identification skills was somewhat It means buying a casket and giving it back a pearl.

At this time, Ron still knew little about the arcane magic of this world, otherwise he would have discovered that even among the effects he had discovered, there was another permanent spell hidden: the modified memory of the fourth ring.

This is the key to allowing him to memorize quickly.

Maybe these effects are not enough for that empire to use it as a trump card in its dying struggle, but it is definitely enough for Ron to use it as his own spell book. He took a quill and good ink and quickly wrote down all the tricks and magic he knew.

And with the help of the special effects of this book, the number of spells he learns will quickly increase, and this book will also be quickly enriched.

But at this time, Ron gave up the idea of ​​continuing to study, because he found that the door in front of him was opened again at some point, and a familiar figure appeared at the door, with his arms folded and a tail flicking behind him. A flick.

"Quest?" Ron closed the book, "How did you get in?"

"Oh, you noticed me!" Quest smiled. He walked into the room and gently closed the door with his foot. "I saw you were absorbed in reading just now, so I didn't want to disturb you."

"I'm a spy, remember? Stealth is my bread and butter - but don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions towards you."

The tiefling walked to the table and looked at the slate and spell book on it: "You found "Preface to Weaving". Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, you have a half-elf, and she is also wearing a uniform. A breastplate from the Hyland Empire."

"Do you know this book?" Ron asked curiously. This tiefling is elusive, and his strength is definitely not what he appears on the surface. If he had any intentions towards him, there was no need to go to such trouble.

"Of course, this is the spell book of the chief mage of the Hylan Empire. The coalition forces were especially wary of its owner when they invaded the capital of the Hylan Empire, and even prepared several countermeasures to reduce the losses caused by this legendary mage. Minimize it.”

"But I don't know why, until the end of the Hailan Empire, no one saw each other. This incident ended up becoming one of the many unsolved cases left by the Hailan Empire. I didn't expect that she didn't see her in person. I was so lucky. I saw her spell book in a delusion."

Quest seemed to want to touch the book, but for some reason he retracted his hand: "Forget it, for me, a reckless man, to touch this rare thing is simply desecrating it. You'd better keep it safe," he said. Maybe he can become a legend?”

"That's too far away, but I'll give you a good word," Ron smiled, "You didn't come here just to read this book, right?"

"Of course not. In fact, I came to see the key and see if you can open it. As for what is in it and why this book is stored, I know nothing about it just like you."

Quest's expression turned serious: "In addition, I came here to tell you another thing: about Mindatis."

"He's dead, isn't he?" Ron raised his eyebrows, "You don't need to be an undercover agent anymore."

"You," Quest shook his head, "you are already a mage with your own spell book, so you should know something: in this world, it is not that easy to completely and completely kill a person. You should know that, right?”

"Resurrection, resurrection, complete resurrection..." Ron knew these methods, "but Mindatis's body -"

"You didn't have time to take him away. It's obvious," Quest sat on the edge of the table. "You were all injured, and you were the most seriously injured. So they were busy treating you and completely ignored this matter."

"It's also possible that they have no sense of prevention at all."

"All in all, Mindatis is not that easy to die. After I finished dealing with the matter in Frome Town, I saw him alive again."

"A mysterious master behind him rescued this unsatisfied subordinate again, and expected him to continue to complete his mission. And now he has returned to his original 'loyalty' city-state, where he is planning his next move ”

"And I was sent to sniff out your situation to provide reference for its plans."

"Then you are really highly regarded," Ron said happily. "Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you act as a double agent like this?"

"What are you talking about!" Quest's expression suddenly became solemn, "I have two crucial missions on my body. I have devoted most of my life to the great cause and to the remnants of the Hylan Empire. I don’t have the slightest pity in my heart, I just wish their souls would suffer forever in the nine hells!”

The hell and heaven in this world are both real planes. Quest's oath is quite unfriendly to those elves.

"Actually, I have always had a question," Ron looked at the tieflings, "You once formed a coalition and cleared out the remnants. Why don't you unite like before and fight the enemy together?"

"If I leave this matter to you, I will become a worker who is subcontracted to the project again. You make me feel very uncomfortable."

It's like the magical girl plot of "No time to elaborate, come and save the world with me."

"You may be more suitable to be a bard, if you have accomplishments in musical instruments - you have a lot of stories in your mind." Quest looked at Ron and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"But you have to understand: the past is the past, and the present is the present. Back then, the extremely powerful, expanding, and extremely slave-holding empire threatened the survival of all intelligent races, which is why everyone joined forces to resist. The remnants that followed were not far from the empire's collapse, and even the shortest-lived races remembered the suffering they brought."

"But now... the power of these old men is much less than before, and even one ten-thousandth of them remain; on the contrary, the attraction of those rumored 'relics' to others is increasing day by day..."
