Chapter 179: Tombstone Grimoire

Old man McCarthy shook his head slightly. “I don’t know. After all, I’m just a beginner in archaeology and ancient biological bloodlines. I haven’t seen the special bloodline you have. It should be a very powerful ancient magical creature with a metallic element that is compatible with elemental particles.”

“After all, the bloodline of someone who possesses the compatibility with gold elemental particles can’t be simple.”

“That’s not a common talent.”

Old man McCarthy sensed Locke’s magical power and was slightly surprised. “Your magical power has improved a lot in just six months.”

“By the way, what do you want to do this time? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Locke stated his purpose directly. “Well, I have a high compatibility with negative energy particles, about level 3.”

“So I want to study archaeology. As you know, I really want to figure out what the ancient biological bloodline in me is, and I’m also very interested in transplanting ancient biological bloodline.”

Locke said vaguely.

After all, McCarthy was just a shop owner in the Chimera Market, not a first-class wizard apprentice in Lilith’s Hut, so Locke didn’t want to reveal too much of his own information to him.

As for the level 3 negative energy particle compatibility, most people cannot tell whether it is Locke’s primary compatibility attribute or secondary compatibility attribute.

It might even be possible to think that this is a general property of Locke’s fit.

After all, in the eyes of those who don’t know the inside story, Locke’s promotion speed is very fast, and he may have the qualifications of level 6 or even level 7.

Then, the dark attribute energy particle only has level 3 qualification, most likely because it is just Locke’s general matching attribute particle.

McCarthy nodded. He opened a crash course in archaeology, so he often encountered white wizard apprentices who had some compatibility with negative energy particles.

This is not surprising.

It’s just that white wizards generally don’t have a very high degree of compatibility with negative energy particles.

McCarthy said, “Well, level 3 qualifications are more than enough if you don’t want to specialize but just want to learn more.”

“I have some apprentices here who have level 2 or even level 1 negative energy particle compatibility talents.”

“Old friend, if you want to understand the bloodline in your body, or if you want to transplant more bloodlines from ancient creatures to enhance your combat power or even some of your talents, then studying archaeology is absolutely right.”

McCarthy, as if he had found a kindred spirit, was full of conversation. “For researchers of ancient biological bloodlines, archaeology is undoubtedly the most efficient research method.”

“But in the final analysis, it’s just a research method.”

McCarthy said, “The main content of the magical discipline of archaeology is to explore the magical knowledge that has been lost in history and has never been seen.”

“From sealed ancient relics to dusty magical knowledge, or those ancient magical devices hidden in seemingly ordinary deserts, ancient biological fossils, and ancient plant specimens, all of these are within the scope of our archaeological research.”

McCarthy was very excited. “I was once in the Dark Wizard Land. No, I was once exploring outside. I even found the magical tomb of an ancient first-ring wizard in a remote and desolate place in the southeast corner.”

“That’s a legendary story. We archaeologists are here to battle wits and courage with that ancient wisdom, and then dig it out from the ancient tombs, so that this knowledge can be revitalized in this era!”

Locke raised his eyebrows and showed a strange expression. Found a magical tomb?

Good man, this archaeologist is a tomb robber in the magical world.

Locke took the initiative and said, “I will pay you one thousand magic stones.”

Speaking of which, the cost of this archaeologist’s crash course is indeed a bit expensive.

One course costs one thousand magic stones, which is equal to the total cost of eight courses at the second-class wizard apprentice level, and equal to the total cost of two courses at the first-class wizard apprentice level.

McCarthy waved his hand. “There’s no point talking about money. I’m just like that. If I like someone, I won’t take a penny. If I don’t like someone, I won’t even accept money from them.”

“You are an old friend of mine. I rarely meet wizards who study the bloodlines of ancient creatures in the White Wizard Society, so I won’t charge you any money. If you are interested, you can come to my accelerated learning class.”

McCarthy said, “If you must give me something in return, it would be that you can discuss your research findings with me.”

“I’m in the White Wizard Society, and there’s relatively little research material on this subject, so research has stalled. If this continues for too long, the level might even regress to a certain extent.”

“I need a friend who is at a similar level to me, someone who can discuss and compete with me. Of course, it’s hard to find such a soulmate in the white wizard community.”

Locke hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

McCarthy clearly has a special temperament that is different from ordinary black wizards and ordinary white wizards.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for a white wizard to work for others for free.

Locke said, “Okay then.”

McCarthy smiled and said, “I’m very happy that there is another wizard in this Chimera market who may become my fellow wizard.”

McCarthy handed Locke a grimoire shaped like a tombstone. “This is a beginner’s book for archaeologists. In the Dark Wizarding world, it’s called the Tombstone Grimoire.”

“I’ll lend it to you. Take it back and have a look, but remember to return it to me in a month, and don’t show it to anyone else. The Tombstone Grimoire has a special black spell, and it can only be opened by the same person. If it is opened by a second person other than you, that person will be cursed by the black magic hidden within.”

“Similarly, you can’t copy any text from the Tombstone Grimoire,” McCarthy said. “The first step in learning archaeology is to learn the negative energy language – Mordo.”

Seeing Locke’s questioning expression, McCarthy extended a finger, revealing a mass of negative energy. “Why are negative energy particles the most likely to leave information behind among all magic particles? It’s because they are the most inclusive.”

“It is also the magic particle most susceptible to external influences.”

“You must be very curious about what negative energy particles are. Besides, in the White Wizarding Society, there are generally no courses that explain this clearly.”

McCarthy confidently stated, “The basis of negative energy particles is the dark element particle, one of the seven primordial particles. There are seven fundamental particles in this world: wind, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, and then ether. Combining these seven particles, or combining one particle into different composite large particles, can produce a variety of particles.”

“Negative energy particles don’t refer to just one type of particle, but a class of particles. There are a huge number of these types of particles, and there are 210 common types.”

“The Tombstone Grimoire contains a periodic table of 210 types of negative energy particles. Dark energy particles are the most easily affected by external pressure, temperature, and magical energy. Therefore, the influence of each energy will cause corresponding changes in dark energy particles.”

“So-called archaeology is a magical discipline developed by utilizing the characteristics of dark element energy particles.”
