This looks like some kind of hidden compartment that can be activated by pressing it.

Ji Chen didn’t let his guard down in the slightest. He left a Murloc Ranger behind and led the rest of his troops back to the stone door, preparing for any unexpected situations.

After the Murloc Ranger pressed the brick, accompanied by a scraping sound, a section of the wall on the side slowly opened to both sides, revealing an entrance.

Ji Chen didn’t immediately approach. Instead, he let the Murloc Ranger go in to investigate.

A few minutes later, the Murloc Ranger emerged, unharmed, and signaled that there was no danger.

Seeing this, Ji Chen walked over with a relieved expression.

In this Lich’s laboratory, being cautious was of utmost importance to him.

This was a smaller room, about the size of a basketball court, but it was filled to the brim with bookshelves. The bookshelves were crammed with all kinds of books. If it weren’t for the crystal sphere floating above a device in the middle of the room, one would think it was a library rather than a laboratory.

The purpose of the crystal sphere was already very clear.

[Control Nexus]

[Tier]: Special

[Usage]: Able to activate cages, seals, and formations

Ji Chen walked in, ignoring the Control Nexus for the time being. Instead, he walked up to a stone table and casually tried to pick up a few sheets of parchment stacked together.

Clatter-

The sheets of parchment instantly turned into powder, piling up on the table.

Ji Chen’s face showed a hint of surprise, then he shook his head.

It seemed that even the hidden parchment here couldn’t withstand the erosion of thousands of years, turning into dust.

As expected, Ji Chen casually touched other sheets of parchment on the table, even the books on the bookshelves. At the moment of contact, they all turned into piles of powder.

Looking at this, he couldn’t help but feel a hint of regret.

Knowledge was one of the most precious treasures, and the books that carried knowledge also had extremely high value. The fact that a powerful Lich had collected them in this hidden chamber meant they weren’t ordinary items; they were naturally of an invaluable level of existence.

If he could learn a few powerful spells or abilities from these books, wouldn’t that be fantastic?

As Ji Chen thought about this, he destroyed all the books on the bookshelves as if satisfying his destructive desire.

Suddenly, when a rather inconspicuous book turned into a pile of powder, a complete sheet of paper with a golden glow mixed in.

Ji Chen’s eyes lit up.

he had hit a jackpot!

He carefully pinched it between his fingers.

The texture was somewhere between paper and hard leather, with a pleasing touch.

On the sheet of paper with the golden glow, intricate and mysterious patterns and designs were engraved. At first glance, it felt extraordinary.

[Archlich Krieg’s Alchemical Notes]

[Tier]: Special

[Insights and experiences of Archlich Krieg Theredell regarding alchemy, containing methods for crafting various special alchemical creations] Archlich?

Krieg?

Ji Chen’s eyes flickered slightly.

If his guess was correct, Archlich Krieg Theredell should be the owner of this laboratory, the twisted Lich mentioned by Elin and Thotmudo.

The alchemical notes of an Archlich – this was getting interesting.

Without rashly using or further examining the alchemical notes, Ji Chen felt that Krieg might have left some traps on this record. He remained vigilant in the face of a powerful Lich.

Carefully tucking the notes into his backpack, he continued to search the hidden chamber.

At this point, his interest was thoroughly piqued by this precious find.

Who knew, there might be more of Krieg’s belongings or secrets waiting for his discovery in other parts of the laboratory.

Feeling frustrated with his own slow progress, Ji Chen enlisted the help of the other heroes in the mission to destroy the books. In an instant, valuable books turned into ashes, and the small dark chamber was filled with dust.

Soon, good news came from the other side.

“Lord, I found a badge!”

Ji Chen hurriedly walked over and took the crystal badge handed to him by Anina.

The badge didn’t possess Lich elements; instead, it depicted an image of a griffon wielding a sharp sword in its claws.

[Royal Griffon Knight Order Badge]

[Tier]: 4-star treasure

[Effects]: 0 Increases magic resistance by 20% @ Increases flight speed by 50%

[Skill]: Life Shield (provides a sturdy shield to withstand massive damage)

[A badge from a certain empire’s Royal Griffon Knight Order in the Northern Continent, possessing considerable power]

What a good find!

Ji Chen was delighted. This was a badge that could provide significant benefits, especially with the Life Shield skill, which aligned perfectly with his intentions.

Ever since he lost an arm due to Solin’s sword energy attack, he had been extra cautious about his personal safety, wanting to equip himself with life-preserving gear.

This time he lost an arm, the next time he might lose his head.

So, life was more important.

Equipping the badge immediately made him feel much safer.

Once again, the badge heightened Ji Chen’s mood.

In just a short ten minutes, he had acquired an invaluable alchemical note and a 4-star life-saving treasure badge. The value of these gains was almost greater than before.

Ji Chen was about to make a fortune in this small hidden chamber!!

Coming back to his senses, Ji Chen praised Anina for her actions and highly admired her for finding such treasures.

This instantly caught the attention of the other heroes, and they were all energized. They focused their attention on searching the bookshelves and corners, hoping to find something of high value to earn the Lord’s appreciation.

In the small hidden chamber, it turned into a bustling construction site, with dust flying around.

If someone knowledgeable were to see them turning these immensely valuable books into dust, trampling them underfoot, they would undoubtedly exclaim about the wasteful destruction and perhaps wish to stab them to death.

Soon, the “construction site” brought more good news.

This time it was Benbo who found something – two silver parchment sheets. Although their appearance wasn’t as mystical as Krieg’s notes, they had an impressive look.

Temporarily leaving the hidden chamber, Ji Chen held the two parchment sheets in his hand and examined them closely.

[Skill Scroll: Mana Reflux]

[Tier]: Red-tier skill

[Effects]: Allows comprehension of the red-tier skill: Mana Reflux (after casting a red-tier spell, recovers 35% of expended mana)

[Skill Scroll: Triple Casting]

[Tier]: Orange-tier skill

[Effects]: Allows comprehension of the orange-tier skill: Triple Casting (able to consecutively cast three skills not exceeding the orange-tier level)

Holy shit!

In the midst of bewilderment, Ji Chen was accompanied by a surge of ecstasy.

What kind of godlike skills were these?

One red-tier skill and one orange-tier skill—enough to blind the eyes.

What was even more important was that both of these skills were Archmage-level skills. Each of them was a skill that mages dreamt of having.

If he casually took one out, it would undoubtedly drive the mages crazy.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Chen suppressed his excitement and put these two skill scrolls into his backpack without using them immediately.

In this world, learning and comprehending any skill required a process. It wasn’t as simple as in a game, where you could learn it with a mere click or a string of text in a skill bar.

Skills were something that a living being learned from the depths of their heart, integrated into their soul. The more powerful the skill, the more time it took to comprehend.

When Ji Chen initially accepted the Tidal Lord profession and comprehended the profession skills, he underwent a complete transformation and learning process from the inside out.

Similarly, in the ancient land of the divine realm, he spent a considerable amount of time to acquire the rewards left behind by the deities.

And these red-tier and orange-tier skills would undoubtedly require a substantial amount of time to comprehend as well. It wasn’t suitable to choose to learn them in this kind of place.

However, it could be foreseen that once he mastered these two skills, his strength would undergo a tremendous transformation.

As he carefully stored the skill scrolls, he couldn’t help but be amazed by the immense wealth of Archlich Krieg. These immensely valuable skill scrolls were simply intermingled among the books. Could even a Icing be as affluent as this?

After obtaining these two skill scrolls, Ji Chen suddenly entered a state of wisdom.

It was as if he had no more desires.

Because he felt that there couldn’t possibly be anything more valuable in the hidden chamber.

However, a voice as melodious as heavenly music reignited the flames in his heart..𝗯𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝐦
