Despite the grandeur in the names of the book, Sirin did not think too much of it. As a high ranking member of an organization that was second to none with regards to magic knowledge, she has an ample understanding regarding the principles of resurrection.
That was even more truth about rune crafting. She was not a runemaster herself, but she knows the requirement for every Rank and the capabilities of runes at Rank 4 and above.
Of course, she did not make a judgment of the books before understanding the knowledge inside them. Zatiel may be a Rank 2 life form, but she knows someone who obtained the citizenship from the Scientia Kingdom could not be measure by normal standards.
Everyone was waiting for Zatiel to explain the book and even the mighty Gabriel was focus on them.
Seen that everyone's attention was on him, Zatiel raised the 'Book of rune crafting' before speaking.
"The book is divided into two parts. The first has everything you need to know about rune crafting, from the most simple parts to the most complicated ones. There is a step by step course in it that will take you from Rank 0 Runemaster all the way to Peak Rank 3 Runemaster as long your energy pool is high enough. Even for the less talented individual that exists, it will only take one hundred and twenty years to complete it." Zatiel voice was calm and it was obvious that he did not consider this section of the book important.
When she hears this, Sirin's eyes showed some interest and focuses on the book in Zatiel's hand.
The Runemaster profession is an extremely hard one to progress. For a book to be able to guide someone from knowing nothing to the Peak Rank 3 without any sort of external teaching or assistance, it means that the one who wrote it has an understanding of the fundamentals of rune crafting way higher than an Origin Runemaster.
Runemasters are very important to any organization. The fact that it will take more than a century for someone with little talent to complete the course wasn't that important since a Rank 3 life form can usually live thousands of years.
"The second part of the book has a series of paths that can be taken to become an Origin Runemaster. Talent for this is essential but the paths are very clear and for someone who manages to become a Rank 3 Runemaster just with his abilities and without external guidance, there is a twenty percent chance of achieving it."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was only now that some trace of pride could be felt in Zatiel voice and his word surprised everyone in the room.
The percentage of Rank 3 Runemasters that have managed to take the next step and become an Origin Runemaster is inferior to 1% and it was not rare for some of them to become a Rank 4 life form but never advance in rune crafting.
There is no price those individuals will not be willing to pay for a book that offers them a path with a twenty percent chance to take the final step forward.
After hearing the information about the 'The Book of rune crafting', Sirin was waiting to hear what marvels the other book will have.
Zatiel saw that he had managed to captivate the attention of the woman and proceeds to explain the 'Book of resurrection.'
"This book is an encyclopedia containing all the necromancy magic and knowledge about the soul necessary to perform resurrections. The first section contains methods to apply that knowledge that will allow a Rank 4 life form to resurrect someone who had died less than five hundred years ago, who was a Rank 3 life form or inferior and whose soul is intact."
Resurrection may seem impressive to mortal and to some lower Rank life forms, but to everyone in the room, it was something that could be done with magic and power. After all, Totto was someone who could resurrect people.
But still, the were impressed with the book since not even the Lich who was a master necromancer could bring back someone who has died for so long and whose soul spend hundreds of years in The Eternal River of the Afterlife.
Despite their surprise, Zatiel was far from over and continue speaking.
"The second section has hundred of rituals that a Rank 4 life form can perform to bring back to life someone who has died due to old age and give them twenty years of life extra."
If before they though the book was impressive, now they considered it a priceless object.
Trying to resurrect someone who has died due to their life span being over was a hopeless task unless you have reached an incredibly high control over the Law of Life and the Law of Death, but that was virtually impossible for a Rank 4 life form.
This happens due to the laws affecting the soul of the persons who have died due to their life force naturally extinguishing and if they are brought back, even if their souls are put in a young body, they will perish in seconds.
Sirin could imagine the immense monetary value the information in that book could achieve.
Who has not heard about individuals that have reached a great level of power, to only realize that the people they care about have died long ago and they can do nothing to bring them back.
With the rituals in the book, they could bring their parents and lover back and use their current power and resources to transform those twenty years in two hundred or maybe even more.
All sorts of calculations and ways to maximize the profit of those books came out through Sirin's mind but she did not lose sight of what was important.
"To validate those books and put them in the auction, assuring everyone that the information in them is real, we will need to examine them. It is not about trust but protocols that have been in place from when the 'Wisdom Auction House' was created."
Sirin was telling Zatiel, that they will have to test those books before they are put in the auction. That will mean that they will obtain the magic knowledge in them for free.
The Neo-Demon found no problem with her logic, after all, he could not ask her to break rules that have been put in place for thousands of years just for him.
To sell these books, Zatiel needed someone with immense prestige and fame and an impeccable reputation. That was certainly not him.
He also needed that person to hide the origin of the book and with enough power that no one could use force to make them reveal his name. The information in the books was something that could create immense greed in some people and they will hunt him down without rest if they know they originated from him, a Rank 2 life form.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Don't worry, I understand how important the rules put by your superior are," Zatiel spoke and waved his hand making both books raise in the air and open for all to see.
To the shock of everyone, the pages in both books were empty, not a single word was seen in the pages.
When Sirin saw this, she frowned and send her consciousness into the books. She was able to detect that something weird with them, but besides the fact that the paper was made with the skin of Rank 3 Magic Creatures, she could not find anything else.
Zatiel did not make her wait and waved his hand making the 'Book of rune crafting' appear in front of her.
"Please touch the book and channel your energy through it."
The Magus look at Zatiel for a moment but follow his instruction and as soon her energy enter the book, the pages in it started to glow with beautiful blue light and an extremely rare form of runes appeared in them.
Sirin has never seen these runes, but she could read them without a problem and there were all sorts of profound and esoteric knowledge in the book.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zatiel waved his hand and the book came back to him.
When this happened, Sirin's expression filled with confusion and after a moment a look of understanding filled her eyes and she was shocked.
"I can't remember anything about what I just read in the book!."
She was very powerful, and photographic memory was something extremely normal for someone like her to possess. Even if she did not understand what she just read, she could have memorized the words and the order the way were written to latter transcribe them, but she had forgotten everything about them.
"I wrote the information in the books using a special type of rune that was altered with an energy capable of affecting the mind. You will need to maintain contact with the book to access its information and any attempt of making a copy will result in the book's self-destruction."
There was admiration in the eyes of the Magus as she heard Zatiel means. She understands more than well that scarcity creates value.
