《Grand Magus》Chapter 65 Ruin (2)
Advertisement
Such a thing would normally only be useless knowledge as the categorization of the past seemed to be useless and could only be taken as a reference for the future and the present, yet there was something that made it exciting for Fraser.
'It can't be… Does the AI Chip have this function? So easy?'
Fraser starred at the information that was projected into his head.
The information was about the purpose of the ruin that he was in it.
There was only some general information that seemed to not interest the author of the books and only deemed it as some part of common knowledge.
It talked about the of the citadel. It was an object that allowed for mass production of fighters for the former glorious civilization.
Fraser bestowed the term "Ancient Magi" to the once glorious civilization.
It would give each Acolyte that reached Level 2 a path to follow.
According to the information, in general, they were weaker than their fellow acolytes that found their own destined path, but some ended up following the wrong path and at least the path that the pathfinder chooses was suitable for the acolyte.
'I need to find this Pathfinder. Perhaps it still works?'
Seeing the information, a desire to start searching for this pathfinder in this exact moment popped into Fraser's mind.
But he continued to look for the information on the Pathfinder.
And he wasn't disappointed as more information appeared on Pathfinders.
Apparently they would send the spirit to a plane that particularly suited their spirit. Then, the spirit would be soaked in the attribute and give them a certain power-up and attribute.
Thus, the acolyte would advance to Rank 1 Magi and would have to choose his Pillars spell models according to the attribute.
This was a process that some acolytes used to advance in the period of the Ancient Magi. This Citadel was one of the centers for the Pathfinder method.
Though it wasn't the only way to advance to a Magi.
Many would dare to tread the path of true magi and choose their own path.

Although the few people that followed the path to the end became powerhouses, according to the many people who lost themselves on the path of truth it wasn't an easy one. So it was a path that people who weren't sure in themselves never took or people who knew their limits.
At least according to the books.
Fraser knew his limits. He wasn't some genius that was found once in an era. Though he would strive for more as long as he could get it. And everything was possible.
Besides, it is way easier to rely on the shoulders of the past.
The Pathfinder method wasn't one of the worst methods to advance, it was dangerous as the spirit could die in its travel, but the power attributed to the spirit was nice and it would allow for an almost clear path to a certain Rank of Magi.
It was different for everyone so Fraser simply decided to search for the Pathfinder and still read the different methods to advance to a Rank 1 Magi.
The most-simple way was to use a catalyst and choose a pillar spell model to his desires. One needed to be an acolyte level 3
Another one was to get a bloodline, it would give a pillar spell the same to the being of the transplanted bloodline. It was considered to be the most powerful, in the short term, but there were shackles after a certain time and it would hinder them.
The rest sounded interesting, but Fraser didn't have the method to any of those.
For example, elementization to a certain element, transplanting stronger parts, whether biological or mechanical didn't matter, as well as certain truths like runes or enlightenments.
'The transplanting path is a devil circle, how do I acquire parts of stronger creatures when I need them to be able to kill them? It makes no sense.'
After finishing most of the information regarding advancement to Rank 1 Magi, Fraser now knew how his future would look.
If he survived until that moment.
'What should I choose for a Pillar spell model? The information said that picking one is essential for the future, according to the books every spell model can be regarded as a Pillar spell model. The only thing you have to do is choose. But which spell model should accompany me and get stronger with me?'

The pillar spell was a spell model that was like a pillar to the respected Magi. Similar to a better weapon, it was a spell model that was way cheaper than average spell models on the same level and had some effect on the spirit as it bounded with it.
But the most important thing was that the pillar spell mode would grow with the Magi.
Fraser couldn't picture a spell model that would grow, nevertheless he accepted the information as truth and decided that the majority of the important information this library could offer was already exhausted.
The rest of the library contained novels, tons of previous records with different viewpoints, biographies of different people like nobles, peasants, acolytes that seemed to have nothing better to do and a large number of books that described plants, herbs, fruits, animals, beasts, monster, fish and many more.
Each with a detailed picture, the common name, the history of the respected item, its usefulness, its counters and much more.
Since Fraser trusted the AI to recognize most of the herbs he would encounter in the future, he didn't have to learn the knowledge himself. He only had to ask the massive database of the AI.
So the exploration of Fraser continued. His next step was to look at the rooms that his workers found interesting.
On his way to the upper floors, Fraser bypassed a hallway that seemed to house the acolytes in it.
Fraser only commanded a worker to look through the rooms before walking upwards.
The hallway that was made of white stone seemed to appear way more ancient than it should.
Dust lied on the decorations that adorned the hallway. Half broken statues of humans stood on the walls. A torn picture reminded Fraser how glamorous the past should have been.
After walking around the upper floors for a while, Fraser found nothing.
Something that looked like a laboratory was completely empty besides the machinery that were covered in rust and dust.
Sadly, the machinery was completely covered in rust and even the components inside couldn't be used anymore.
Walking through the upper floors gave Fraser a decent understanding of the ancient Magi culture.
Marble-like stone was used to build the walls, the floors, and statues.
Even doors built out of wood had a certain ancient feeling about them and withstood aging very well.
Fraser passed by different experiment sides, halls that were probably used for training, some halls that looked like a lecture side and apparently some garden that didn't survive the disappearance of sunlight very well as it was completely barren.
Even though the workers of him already crawled through the places, they could only send basic information like edible, not dangerous, interesting and enemy.
The look and former culture of the ancient Magi weren't told with the reports.
A sense of powerlessness filled Fraser as he watched the ruins of the ancient Magi.
Even the outpost of the howling abyss academy couldn't reach a single floor of this casern of the ancient magi.
And as the information of the AI got more updated, more and more barracks seemed to be mentioned. Some with different names, others with different focusses and others simply being next to this one.
The next one was completely out of the book as one of the books told the actual distance. Apparently being next to each other meant the use of a teleportation platform.
This allowed Fraser to finally understand how vast the ancient Magi civilization was. As teleportation platforms were deemed as large logistic achievements in the eyes of the howling abyss academy.
They even wrote that a certain distance needed to be gathered in order to even use the teleportation platform to a satisfying degree.
Or else the platform wouldn't be lucrative.
