Lin Yun never noticed these ambushing Skeleton Warriors, otherwise he would have re-evaluated the reward from the Death Garden . Through these skeletons' reaction, he might have even though that not every ability would induce a change in one's body .
It was already late in the night when Lin Yun arrived at Thousand Sails City . What he experienced today was too stimulating, even for Lin Yun . Especially that final fight in the Death Garden, it completely exhausted Lin Yun's stamina . He had planned to research the stone tablet after returning to the Gilded Rose, but he felt the fatigue assaulting him when he sat down . He fell asleep on his chair without even noticing .
He slept until noon . When he opened his eyes, he found out that a blanket had been put around him and breakfast had been put on the side of the table .
He guessed that it was most likely the old butler .
The old butler had never came in contact with magic, he didn't even know much about Great Mages . But he stubbornly believed that magic study shouldn't be disturbed . A huge issue couldn't be compared with his young master's magic study . Thus, the old butler had always been taking care of his young master's daily need stealthily, just like he did now, secretly putting a blanket around him while he slept and putting some food on his table, afraid of waking Lin Yun from his sleep .
Lin Yun smiled before making the breakfast disappear in a few mouthful . He then took out the stone tablet and return to his laboratory .
The palm sized stone tablet was put on a refining table . It had no mana fluctuations, nor any death aura . It looked just like an ordinary stone tablet . But Lin Yun was convinced that this stone tablet looked ordinary because he had yet to find its secret .
This was a stone tablet from the Death Garden, the convergence of a huge amount of death energy . Even if it wasn't something heaven defying like a soul stone, it shouldn't be a common stone tablet .
Thus, Lin Yun spent a few hours in his laboratory .
Lin Yun used alchemy reagents to analyze it at first . But he quickly understood that he was wrong . He used two dozen alchemy reagents and came to the same result . There was nothing strange about it on the material side, it was a stone tablet .
'Well, if the analysis of alchemy reagents is inconclusive, then I can try to make it react to mana . '
Lin Yun held the stone tablet in his hand and began pouring a large amount of mana .
One minute, two minutes, three minutes .
Lin Yun had some expectations at the start, but he couldn't help grumbling inwardly after thirty minutes, 'This damn stone tablet is a bottomless pit!' Regardless how much mana he poured in, it couldn't be filled . Yet the reaction Lin Yun was expecting never happened .
"Fuck, so annoying!" Lin Yun angrily cursed it when he felt that he was running out of mana and stopped this futile effort .
Lin Yun truly wanted to know what that damned stone tablet was made of . How could it be so stubborn, why wouldn't it yield . Or was that damn stone tablet picky about the food?
'Right, can it eat a spell…?'
Lin Yun suddenly got an idea . The stone tablet was from the Death Garden, it was condensed from a huge amount of death energy, maybe it had some of the properties of undead lifeforms? 'What about a fire spell?'
Lin Yun was careful, afraid of the stone tablet being harmed by a powerful fire spell, thus he chose a simple Flaming Hand .
Lin Yun didn't even need to use gestures to use this kind of beginner level spell . He grabbed the stone tablet and cast the spell, flames instantly rising from his hand .
Lin Yun then noticed that his thought pattern had been correct .
Death aura was released the instant the flames appeared . At the same time, the details of his Flaming Hand appeared in his mind .
"What!?" Lin Yun was startled . His Flaming Hand was extinguished, and the stone tablet also slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground .
What appeared in his mind just now was too strange .
Lin Yun stood there, looking at the stone tablet in a daze, an extremely complicated expression appeared on his face, a mix of dread and expectation .
This stone tablet strangeness far exceeded what Lin Yun imagined . It could affect his mind, yet the ability contained within was something Lin Yun yearned for . Complete analysis of spells . No mage could resist such a power .
It took a long time before Lin Yun decided to pick up the tablet from the floor with shivering hands .
Lin Yun's expression was very complicated with the stone tablet in his hand, because the next thing he had to try was using the Magic Array .
Lin Yun would be able to deal with losing of control of his Flaming Hand spell, but if a problem happened with the Magic Array, he would only be able to close his eyes and wait for his death . The Magic Array was an extension of his life, the mark of his soul, it was the foundation of Lin Yun as a Great Mage .
After no less than ten minutes, Lin Yun took a deep breath and tightly held the stone tablet as he used his Magic Array .
'So it's indeed like that…' As his Magic Array was activated, Lin Yun's brows relaxed .
He had noticed that the efficiency of his Magic Array had been doubled with the stone tablet . He originally needed a minute to be able to complete a melded spell, but he only needed thirty second now .
'That's enough . '
There was no need to keep experimenting . Lin Yun put back the stone tablet on the refining table . Lin Yun had finally confirmed that he had taken a component of the Death Garden, a component able of computing and analysis of spells .
As for its rank, it should be above True Spirit .
Lin Yun no longer envied Sandro .
Even if the power of this stone tablet wasn't as good as the soul stone, this was a component . If Lin Yun got his hands on the Book of Death and merged them, then the power of the Book of Death might reach a frightening level .
Not to mention that this component was powerful enough by itself .
After all, Lin Yun's Magic Conducting Rune was the Magic Array, the most annoying part of the Magic Array was its complexity and details . The merging of every spell's incantation and metamagic would take a long time . Lin Yun could now improve the efficiency of his Magic Array with this component in hand .
