Abium finished reading those other two pages and then fell into deep thought.
'It seems this Fex dimension belonged to the Bidora Empire. But there are still a few things that I need clarification on. If the Lockridge family did swear allegiance to the Holy See, why are there still conflicts between them?
Wait!
The founder of the Peral kingdom was Theodric, and this diary owner Novak also mentioned that he was a Traitor. Anyway, even during the end of the Chaos era, the only ones who stood beside the citizens were the royal family members.' Abium frowned deeper.
He could tell that this diary owner Novak indirectly told the readers that the Lockridge Royal family was a traitor to the Bidora Empire. If someone read all these diary notes, they would believe all of those contents as real, even if it was falsified.
But Abium was the one who came from the future, and he knew what would happen. Still, some accurate information was hidden in those two pages, causing Abium to fall into deep thought.
'The information about the Tear of Phoenix is true. But I can tell there is something wrong about history. For now, all I can do is collecting more pages and find out what actually happened during Bidora Empire.' Abium thought for a while and silently nodded.
Then, he stored those four of Novak's diary pages in his spatial ring and shifted his attention to Demi Lich's diary.
After a few minutes, Abium finished reading that diary and found more information about this Demi Lich.
This Demi-Lich named Mike was the last Death mage who appeared 500 years ago!
As for why he came to this place, he was also after the Tear of phoenix. But he got severely wounded by a Cardinal of Light church beforehand and even got his Phylactery sealed by a mysterious coffin. That was the reason for his sealed state status.
Although one of his disciples managed to snatch Mike's sealed Phylactery from the Cardinal, he couldn't break that coffin seal. Mike entered the royal treasury without any other choice and was thrown into this dimension by the Redbird. Thankfully, that was what Demi Lich was aiming for.
After Mike entered the Fex dimension, he contacted his student, a member of the Order of the Dead organization, informed him about the whole situation, and then waited all these years for the backup. But he didn't expect Abium's arrival.
Due to his action, his plan to enter the Abyssal Volcanic dungeon got ruined entirely.
'His student? Rilos?' Abium suddenly thought of the Undying Rilos and soon nodded in understanding.
After that, he shifted his gaze towards the sky elf's body, which was sealed in crystalline glass, and frowned.
'Why can't I remember who he is? Wait... Could it be?' He widened his eyes in shock as he identified the person and almost shouted!
Yes, he saw a similar face in the creeper's forest!
It was that Bidora Emperor's face!
"What the hell?! Why is his body sealed here?" Abium shouted in shock as he stared at the sealed figure with a perplexed face.
'Kid, wait! I think you can bring this crystal coffin to that creeper's forest and get favor from that lady.' Azolla's suggestion left Abium more puzzled.
"You mean?... Are you saying that naked lady is the Empress of Bidora?" Abium shouted out loud as he reached a daring conclusion.
'Think about it, kid. Her strength must be almost par with Pseudo legendary tier mages. If not, the academy head would have already captured her and used her as a pet.' Azolla said solemnly.
Meanwhile, Abium nodded at her assumption.
Without delay, he touched the crystal coffin and stored it inside his spatial ring.
Finally, he shifted his attention to the Tear of Phoenix and smiled.
As for why that Demi Lich Mike didn't consume this Tear, Abium had some guesses.
'Maybe he couldn't be able to consume this Tear due to him being a skeleton.' Abium thought for a moment and soon shook his head. It doesn't matter now. This Tear of Phoenix ended up in his hand already, and his current goal was to enter the Abyssal Volcanic dungeon to get that undying artifact.
Abium slowly caressed the red-colored Tear of Phoenix, sealed inside a cubic crystal, and then felt massive fire energy. Following that, he tightened his fist and broke the cubic crystal while catching the tiny drop of red Tear. He looked at the blood gem-like Tear for a second and moved it towards his mouth to consume it.
'Kid, don't consume it now. I have a better solution.' Azolla's words stopped him from directly swallowing the Tear.
'What is it?' Abium asked with interest.
'Use this Tear of Phoenix when you plan on constructing your defensive fire spell. It will enchant your spell model up to ten times. It means your first-tier defensive spell could block a second-tier spell.' Azolla's words caused him stunned for a while. He could clearly understand the meaning of her words and got more excited.
With this, he could even kill second-tier mages using underhand methods.
'But I constructed a unique spell model in my mind, right?' Abium noticed another problem and asked Azolla.
'Yes. For the next few days, your only job is to memorize all those defensive first-tier fire spells in the spell book. Meanwhile, I have some calculations to do regarding the Star Plane formula.' Azolla said slowly and soon fell into silence.
Abium, on the other hand, soon snapped out of the daze and quickly stored the Tear of Phoenix into his spatial ring. Then, he cleaned the altar room for the next two hours and memorized all the defensive fire spell runes.
By the end of the fourth day, he had memorized all first-tier fire spell models and felt a lot of information in his head.
After that, he tried his best to understand the meaning behind the spell models and attempted to recreate a unique spell model in his mind.
But he couldn't.
At that moment, he felt that his knowledge was still insufficient to construct his defensive spell, so he chose to look at one second-tier fire spell model. But soon, his expression turned serious as he started reading the rune characters.
He couldn't even understand the meaning of many rune letters and felt clueless.
'Azolla only gave me a basic rune language book. Tsk, now I have to buy an intermediate-level rune book.' Abium frowned deeply and soon noticed a sudden change happening inside his body. He could feel his spirit and mana being drained rapidly and only stopped after a minute.
'Kid, I already completed my analysis. Do you want to see?' Azolla said excitingly. The next instant, she sent that information through the blue screen.
[Star Formula Results:
Percentage of Laws in Fex Dimension:
Fire- 17.5 %, Wind-12.5%, Earth-25％, Water- 10%, Nature-15%, Space-5%, Chaos-2.1%, and Time-12.9%.
(Time flow inside the Fex dimension is seven times faster than the Easica plane.) ]
Abium sucked in a cold breath as he stared at those results.
'7 times faster than Easica plane?!' Abium felt his head spinning.
It was no joke.
He could do many things during that time. At the same time, he also understood why the bones had already aged like they had been more than a few millenniums.
'But Time Law, huh?' Abium felt something was odd about this and soon dismissed that thought.
'So, kid, how many months Nicolaus and others can manage in Keris kingdom?' Azolla asked out of the blue, surprising Abium. He didn't expect Azolla would see through the worries in his heart.
After a short pause, Abium fell into deep silence. He knew this was a rare opportunity and started to ponder.
Although he knew nothing about Fennelis, he knew Nicolaus's character well.
'Nicolaus may look like a straightforward and troublesome guy, but he is a real deal. Moreover, they are in Mage Sean's city, so I don't think anyone dares to cause trouble inside that place. Also, I won't be able to help them much with my little strength.' Abium nodded thoughtfully and spoke out loud in the altar room.
"They can manage for two months on their own."
'Oh? That will be enough for you to learn much about magic, lad. Let's see. You have 14 months to learn everything about runes and potions. Unlike others, you also have that newly attained Quick-Thinking divine spell, Seer's intuition, and eidetic memory, which would help you in many ways.
Moreover, Rune mage Ubius also gave you some books with intermediate-level runic language books. Memorize everything.' Azolla said without giving him a chance to refute.
Abium had almost forgotten about that Rune mage Ubius's gift and nodded.
