Chapter 395 The Superpowered Jade Record
Sofia, along with Andrei and Igor, set off once again for the Spring of the Dead.
Sofia made thorough preparations this time.
She stored the different reels in different places.
So that you won't take the wrong thing in a crisis.
At this moment, the three of them each held a light roll to illuminate the path.
Upon returning to this place, Sofia's worries and fears had lessened considerably.
The Spring of the Dead is a spring located in a cave, which is protected by extraordinary power.
I wonder if the wizard who left the sorcery here also knew that there was a Jade Record beneath the spring?
The three continued on their way, remaining vigilant.
No one can guarantee that they will be facing other forces this time.
However, the process went exceptionally smoothly without any obstacles.
Upon arriving at the spring, Igor immediately took out a bottle and filled it with spring water.
"Is there anything special about the spring water?" Igor looked up.
He did not answer, but instead looked at Andrei.
After Andrei nodded, Igor said:
"Perhaps it absorbed the power of the spring, so we must bring the spring back to the country for scholars to study."
Does "scholar" refer to inventors, theorists, alchemists, wizards, or magicians?
Both are possible, but they all indicate that the Federation intends to develop this spring.
But Sophia was more curious: "The power of the Emerald Record?"
"Do you know New Gate City?" Igor asked rhetorically.
Sofia nodded.
"The governor there learned of the existence of spices because of a one-eyed, one-eared merchant."
"spices?"
"A special condiment, but according to research, it seems to unleash a person's potential."
"What potential?"
"Technologies that enhance superhuman abilities, researchers' intellect, could even allow endangered individuals to survive longer."
Hmm, Sofia really wants to get her hands on this.
"But what does this have to do with the Jade Records?"
"The governor of Newgate City has begun searching for spices in the New World. This marks our first operation venturing deep into the continent."
This operation not only yielded some spices, but also included an unexpected bonus.
Hearing this, Sofia guessed what Igor was about to say:
"A clue related to the Jade Record?"
“That’s right,” Igor nodded. “And according to the deciphered content, the world originally consisted of only one continent, but something happened during the mythological period that divided it into several regions.”
"All the Emerald Books were left in the eastern part of the Sea of Despair, while the spices that could activate the power of the Emerald Books were left in the New World."
This statement completely shocked Sofia's understanding.
So the world only had one continent?
Sofia traveled across the ocean to get here.
She knows how big the world is.
However, this long distance was forcibly torn apart by some force.
She simply couldn't believe it!
Moreover, this makes it seem as if they are deliberately preventing this power from being unleashed!
Historians and textual decipherers shared the same confusion. The reason why no records of the Jade Record were found on the eastern side of this Sea of Despair remains a mystery. In short, the entire incident is shrouded in mystery!
Sophia nodded: "But doesn't that mean that the Jade Record contains extremely powerful energy?"
"We also believe so, and we know that there is a Jade Book hidden at the bottom of the Spring of the Dead."
Sofia noticed this word in a book.
Does this mean there are other jade records?
How many books are there in total?
Just as she was about to ask, Andrei spoke up:
"Let's wrap up our small talk. We have important business to attend to, so let's get on with it."
"Yes," Igor nodded.
He took out a small jar, and the moment he opened it, Sophia smelled a rich fragrance.
It smells so good! As a seasoning, Sofia can imagine how delicious the food cooked with it would be!
Then, Igor poured the spices into the Spring of the Dead.
The spices dissolved in the spring water, and it seemed as if nothing had happened.
But Andrei and Igor did not react at all, simply gazing silently at the surface of the spring.
Should we be patient? Sophia didn't ask any more questions and simply followed their gaze.
After a long time, the surface of the spring water began to glow with a bright green light.
Then, a passage of text was reflected on the surface of the lake.
Sofia was certain she had never seen this script before, yet she was able to decipher its meaning: "Through this, extraordinary achievements can be attained."
And Sophia learned the name of the Emerald Book—
The Super Jade Record.
The words on the lake continued to scroll, as if they were drilling directly into Sofia's mind, and she easily understood their meaning.
That was the recipe, but Sophia didn't fully understand the ingredients.
She could only identify a small portion of the materials, such as the water from the Spring of the Dead, the exotic iron ore from the Lyons Plateau, and so on.
Sofia therefore guessed that she was unable to read information that she did not already know.
The materials that were not deciphered were those that Sofia had not encountered.
An unfamiliar material... Could it be spices?
Assuming Sofia had prior experience with spices, she would now have access to all the information.
Then she realized what she was reading.
This is the recipe for a perfume bottle. By making perfume bottles and blending [specific ingredients], you can become a perfumer and gain more power.
After that, no more information appeared above the spring.
Sofia was completely confused, so she looked at the other two.
Only then did they realize that they were looking delighted, as if to say, "We succeeded! The intelligence was true!"
From this, Sophia could conclude that becoming a perfumer would bring her power that might be beyond her imagination!
However, this is clearly top-secret intelligence, enough for the Federation to mobilize national resources to verify it.
But why were they willing to share this information with Sofia and let her witness this moment?
Sophia thought for a moment and immediately understood their idea.
They must rely on Sophia's power to ensure their safety in the Spring of the Dead.
Look! The bodies of those comrades are still lying not far away!
Therefore, Sofia must be part of the entourage.
Since Sophia must know about the existence of the Jade Record, let's just let Sophia know more.
In other words, they did not intend to let Sofia leave their control alive.
Sofia suddenly realized that she had inadvertently been drawn into danger.
She was both amused and exasperated; more than obtaining this intelligence, she longed for her freedom.
Hmm... things are getting complicated.
Then, the light of the Jade Record gradually dimmed.
Andrei led Sofia and Igor out of the cave.
As soon as she left the cave, the blinding sunlight made it almost impossible for Sofia to open her eyes.
Once her eyes adjusted to the light, she noticed the distance.
Dust rose into the sky.
It's like—an army is launching a fierce attack.
