Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 3348: The Scroll

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The back hall was a large cultivation room.

Adam was immediately startled by what he saw upon entering.

The room was filled with dense traces of magic arrays and research records.

Even the floor and ceiling were covered with a chaotic expanse of markings, giving him a headache just from looking.

"Interesting."

Fang Heng, attached to Adam, quickly scanned the alchemy magic arrays in the room, his voice sounding in Adam’s mind. "Ask Maer if he intends to create an alchemy scroll."

Adam then looked at Maer and asked, "Do you want to make an alchemy scroll?"

"An alchemy scroll?"

Maer was momentarily stunned, then, as if he had realized something, his eyes glimmered with excitement and he murmured to himself, "Alchemy scroll... alchemy scroll..."

"Great! That’s a good name! Brother Adam, you guessed what I wanted to do?"

"Yes."

Fang Heng had already deduced the general idea just by observing the alchemical constructions in the room.

An alchemy scroll was a method of temporarily solidifying a spell onto a scroll using alchemy, allowing it to be activated by injecting mental strength during critical moments.

In fact, the application of alchemy in this area was already quite mature.

However, it seemed that the alchemical inheritance in this world had some gaps, and there were no existing magic scrolls.

"Brother, our alchemy has never been strong in combat applications, so I was wondering if spells could be recorded onto a carrier using alchemy."

Once Maer opened his mouth, he spoke nonstop, picking up a piece of mageweave cloth to demonstrate.

"I’ve started to find a clue. The key issue is the preservation of psychic force; most materials cannot retain it..."

"Why preserve it? Can’t you just reactivate it?"

"Ah?"

Maer was stunned by the question, clearly never having considered it. He thought for a moment and continued, "But if it isn’t preserved, reactivating it drastically reduces efficiency. It’s not much different from rebuilding an alchemy magic array..."

"No, that’s not it. You don’t understand."

Adam walked to the side, took a piece of goatskin scroll from a pile of miscellaneous items, and cut a small section.

"This is what I mean."

"Ah?"

Maer watched Adam’s every move intently, and his eyes widened when he saw lines of intricate patterns appear on the goatskin scroll.

It was...

The patterns of a magic array were clearly etched onto the goatskin scroll!

And the construction was unlike anything he had seen before.

For a moment, Maer felt Adam had demonstrated a godly skill before him.

Adam himself didn’t know what the Shadow God had done, but seeing Maer’s reverent expression, he tossed the goatskin scroll to him.

Maer held the scroll carefully in his hands, examining it, silently marveling at the intricate construction of the magic array.

This method of constructing a magic array was unprecedented.

"Here, try it."

"All right!"

Maer injected his mental strength into the goatskin scroll.

A faint purple flame suddenly blossomed from the scroll!

It worked!

Maer was overjoyed.

The breakthrough he had been researching for years had been achieved so easily.

However, as the purple flame burned, the goatskin scroll turned to ashes.

It seemed that once inscribed, the scroll could only be used once.

No problem.

Although it was only a basic spell, if the theory could be further developed, it might mean higher-level magic arrays could also be made into scrolls using the same method.

Very likely!

Maer’s heart pounded uncontrollably.

"Brother Adam! You really are a genius! Do you know what this discovery means?"

Adam shook his head lightly.

He didn’t need to know; he only knew the Shadow God was omnipotent.

"Let’s not rush the alchemy scrolls for now. I have some questions for you."

"Go ahead, Brother."

"I’ve recently been researching the alchemy puppet branch and encountered some difficulties. I’m very interested in the creation methods of high-tier heroic spirit gemstones."

"Oh, that..."

Maer touched the back of his neck, looking a bit embarrassed. "Brother, I’m afraid I can’t help much. The church’s holy gemstones were indeed produced by the Alchemy Society, but I don’t have access to the actual alchemy blueprints."

"Is that so..."

Fang Heng sensed that Maer was telling the truth and felt a slight regret.

No matter. Since the church produced them through the Alchemy Society, they could join the society and obtain the blueprints from them. It would just take more time.

"However, if you want to study alchemy puppets, I think my ancestor’s book could help."

Maer stood up, rummaged through a worn box in the corner, and pulled out a slightly tattered book. "Here it is."

Adam took the book and flipped through it page by page.

Fang Heng squinted.

This was Maer’s ancestor, Vincent Jackalese’s handwritten notebook!

A manuscript in hand—how generous to just leave it here.

After all, someone without an alchemy foundation wouldn’t understand it anyway.

Adam quickly skimmed several pages and asked, "Does it record the creation method for Stellar Souls?"

"Yes!" Maer nodded. "But unfortunately, my ancestor didn’t leave the exact creation method. There’s also some content on the creation of holy gemstones. The holy gemstones were later modified from holy gemstones; I don’t know if it will help you."

Adam continued flipping through the pages.

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow and said, "Stop!"

Adam stopped on a particular page.

Zane asked, "What is it, Brother Fang Heng?"

"Interesting. Look at this part. This magic array is a teleportation array leading to the spiritual world."

"Specifically, it’s the most original version, only retaining the teleportation function."

Fang Heng carefully examined the construction of the magic array in the book. "When I studied the teleportation arrays of the spiritual world back in Holy Eagle City, I found that apart from the external spatial element arrays, the spatial positioning of the array relied on a special runestone imprint."

"Without the runestone imprint, the teleportation passage couldn’t open. Initially, I thought the church controlled the runestones, but now it seems that isn’t the case."

Adam listened to the Shadow God’s voice in his mind and looked at Maer again, "Is this section really the teleportation passage to the spiritual world?"

"Yes." Maer said proudly, "My ancestor was among the first to discover the spiritual world. Later, to facilitate the creation of Stellar Soul puppets and strengthen the empire, he established this passage. The church made further improvements, and it eventually became the teleportation array inside the Holy Spirit Temple."
