Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

In the end, Bai Hao declined Duke Krey's invitation and decided to stay temporarily in a hotel closer to the library. Duke Krey also knew that Bai Hao really liked reading, so he did not disturb Bai Hao any more.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Bai Hao couldn't wait to open the ancient scholar's book from ten thousand years ago. This was the book that Bai Hao exchanged with Youla for a priceless gem that he had drawn after the banquet.

Although Youla nominally still owed Bai Hao tens of thousands of gold coins, this had long been offset in the previous battle with Kofsky. After all, Youla had saved at least a dozen lives of Bai Hao, so it was Bai Hao who still owed Youla a lot.

Although it was late at night after the dinner, Bai Hao, as a magician, had very little need for sleep, so Bai Hao planned to read this ancient elven manuscript all night long.

This Augustus Magic Stone Secret Book was not written by a person named Augustus. Augustus is actually the name of an elven city. As for who the author of this book is, no one knows.

Augustus is a lost city. It was originally a beautiful and prosperous independent city on the southern coast of Lake Nakhon. It was completely submerged in a Nakhon tide about 8,000 years ago.

The Nako Tide is a large-scale southward high tide that occurs once every thousand years in the Nako Lake. The tide is so fierce that even the great magician of water element cannot resist it. The area of ​​the Nako Lake was much smaller than it is today more than 8,000 years ago.

It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, Lake Nakor was just a small stream that even a child could cross, but as the western waterway was opened up by an unknown wizard, endless sea water began to pour into Lake Nakor.

Not to mention the Naco tide that occurs once every thousand years, even now, Lake Naco is slowly expanding southwards.

As Lake Nakor is expanding all the time, many elven scholars even believe that based on the terrain analysis of high in the north and low in the south, Lake Nakor may move southward and submerge the elven kingdom of Gibis in a few years.

This theory is obviously supported by successive rulers of Gibis, so the elves of Gibis have been intervening in the expansion of Lake Nako.

Building dams and using magic to move mountains and fill the sea are only temporary solutions and do not address the root cause. The fundamental reason for the thousand-year tide of Lake Nakor and its slow expansion every moment is very obvious, and that is the continuous influx of seawater from the western channel connected to Lake Nakor.

The Western Channel connects Lake Nakor with the vast ocean outside the Walterlan continent, allowing Lake Nakor to obtain sufficient water replenishment. Therefore, Lake Nakor can actually be said to be a small inland ocean.

Therefore, the simplest and most fundamental way to prevent the expansion of Lake Nakor is to block the western waterway, but the elven scholars of Gibis never considered this method.

The reason is very simple. That is, the West Passage, as an important transportation waterway, is protected by many small elven countries nearby and many forces in the Western Regions.

Unless Gibis is strong enough to go to war with the Green Wine Dwarf Kingdom, the Night Witches and many small elven kingdoms along the coast of the West Passage, cutting off the West Passage would be a pipe dream.

The hundreds of siren tribes living in Lake Nako are all disgusted with the measures taken by the Kingdom of Gibis to build flood-proof dams. After all, the expansion of Lake Nako directly affects the living space of the sirens.

Bai Hao simply put himself in the shoes of the Kingdom of Gibis and could only shake his head and sigh helplessly. Cutting off the coast would lead to siege by multiple forces, and building a tide-control dam would be interfered with and destroyed by sea monsters. But if nothing was done, the Kingdom would be submerged by Lake Nako in the future.

It seems that the only remaining method is to move the country, otherwise the ancient city of Augustus will be the final end of Gibis, but the Gibis elves just like this land, and they can only choose to fight the Sirens to the end.

Bai Hao spent an entire night reading the Augustus Magic Stone Secret Book twice. Many of the ancient magic stones in it were almost extinct.

A large part of these extinct magic stones exist in the mineral veins around Augustus, but now that area has long been submerged by Lake Nakor and has become the habitat of a tribe of sirens.

Bai Hao guessed that most of the magic stones in the Magic Stone Secret Book could be found in the mine caves flooded by Lake Nako, and the sirens had no habit of mining ore, so these magic stones became extinct on the continent.

The Augustus Codex records many magic stones with different functions, among which there are even magic stones that store the magic power of light elements, although their functions are very simple and only serve as lighting.

But this also made Bai Hao feel extremely excited. After all, this was the first time he knew about the magic stone that could store the magic power of light element. This was equivalent to finding the door to the magic of light element. Next, he just had to grope for the door handle and key bit by bit.

After reading it twice, Bai Hao roughly understood why this secret book with detailed records was not praised as a classic by scholars.

Not to mention that most of the magic stones recorded here have become extinct, the more important reason is that the functions of many magic stones are very simple and somewhat out of touch with reality.

Take the magic stone that can absorb the magic power of the light element and emit light, for example. The light element mage is such a noble and rare existence, and you want him to provide lighting? After all, this is a simple task that even a fire element magic apprentice can do.

For example, there are magic stones that will produce breezes when injected with wind magic, magic stones that will become moist when absorbing water magic, and magic stones that will glow when struck by lightning magic.

This magic stone secret book records too many meaningless magic stones. Bai Hao can't even figure out the meaning of these magic stones. It's like some of Bai Hao's weird inventions in his previous life, such as a wind-powered fan that only turns when there's wind, and a flashlight that only lights up when exposed to light...

However, there are also many interesting magic stones among them. For example, there are many magic stones that can store elemental magic power. Although the magic power leakage is very serious, this is after all storing magic power rather than storing magic. This point alone is already a groundbreaking discovery.

Currently, most of the magic stones on the Walterlan continent store magic released by wizards. When dealing with emergency situations where spells cannot be chanted or there is no magic power in the body, wizards can use magic stones to release the simple magic stored in them.

These magics can be extremely simple elemental magics such as lighting and heating, or they can be barrier magics with a single effect, or even magics that generate many elements.

Some of these magic stones that store elemental generation magic can produce large amounts of water, some can create many small flames, and some can even create wood and stones out of thin air.

Bai Hao believed that this was the closest thing to storing magic power. These magic stones with single functions and high practicality were like carrying a kettle, a lighter, and a large backpack for storing wood and stones when you went out.

Bai Hao decided that if there was some time left after this trip to the Swart Empire, he would go to Lake Nako to look for these magical stones.
