The silver-cast werewolf Warwick raised his wolf claw and clenched it forcefully. Enormous magical power gathered, and immediately that Book of Demon Gods automatically assembled and transformed. The flowing pages began to automatically combine, the spine like bones.

A three-faced, two-armed book page demon god over three meters tall appeared behind Warwick.

"Every Suzerain has its own characteristics. These characteristics are determined by the spell structure set by the wizard and the nature of their magical pressure. The Suzerain also determines whether you can use more advanced archaeology spells."

"My Suzerain is the Book of Demon Gods, because it records many negative energy particle fields related to the abyss."

The demon god composed of book pages had three faces in total. One face was the calm expression of a scholar, one face was an angry, frenzied expression, and one face was an emotionless, void expression.

Werewolf Warwick displayed the mysteries of archaeology spells to Locke, "When these negative energy particle fields are combined together, expressing unprecedented information, they grant the reference book special energy."

"We archaeology wizards can invoke this special energy and transform it into whatever effect we desire."

"And the effect I desire is to shape this demon god with unparalleled close combat abilities, capable of chanting three incantations simultaneously, and possessing incomparable abyssal energy!"

Locke looked up at that demon god. Where the demon god stood, ghostly flames burned, powerful dark energy covered this area, and the enormous external magical pressure, just the pressure alone, was above 9,000, possessing magical pressure close to a crystallization stage wizard.

This was an existence similar to his own external Beholder Lord abyssal energy, except the Beholder Lord abyssal energy existed within his own body.

While this book page demon god came from all the negative energy particle fields this archaeology scholar before him had collected so far, stacked together, and after being adjusted through specific spell models, the energy that appeared.

Werewolf Warwick's own magical pressure was already very close to ten thousand, and with the stacking of this demon god, his magical pressure rose even further, seemingly infinitely approaching ten thousand magical pressure.

About to become a Second Circle wizard.

However, after his magical pressure momentum rose to its limit, suddenly he seemed stuck at a certain point. His magical pressure couldn't continue to increase, and it suddenly dropped rapidly.

Warwick said with some regret, "Even with the Abyssal Werewolf body plus my Demon God Suzerain book, with both magical pressures stacked, I still can't reach Second Circle."

"Damned racial soul limit."

"Sigh."

Warwick looked at Locke, snapped his fingers, and spread out his left hand, letting the Book of Demon Gods automatically shrink back, transforming into a book that fell onto his left palm.

Warwick looked at Locke with piercing eyes. "Originally, I was planning to use dimensional banishment to leave here after completing the trade. But the abyssal energy the Eye Demon Wizard possesses suddenly made me change my mind."

"I've been collecting material for this book, making it this powerful. Guess how many years it took? Not one more, not one less, exactly four hundred years."

"When I was a hundred years old, I constructed my Suzerain, became an archaeology professor, and began the journey of collecting negative energy particle field information. I spent four hundred years continuously collecting negative energy particle fields to craft my Suzerain this perfectly, without any flaws."

"And if you want to obtain a Suzerain as powerful as mine and continue on the path of archaeology, you must also construct a Suzerain and continuously collect negative energy particle information, collecting items from ancient sources."

"But in this process, completely different from your study of breeding and potion studies, archaeology relies on historical material collection, not your momentary ideas."

"Historical material collection requires the most time." Wizard Warwick said calmly, "In other words, if you collect historical materials yourself, to construct a Suzerain as powerful as mine would take at least an estimated two hundred years."

"This is already calculated based on the shortest time. Collecting historical materials is slower than you think. It's painstaking work. You also need to organize the collected historical materials, which also takes your time."

Locke frowned.

He hadn't expected First Circle archaeology to be such a type of magic, relying on painstaking effort.

The requirements for talent were actually not as high as breeding and potion studies.

Werewolf Warwick said, "But I can make a trade with the Eye Demon Wizard. You make me feel you're a reliable wizard. If you agree to go with me to an abyssal ruin and help me crack that ruin, then I'll copy my Book of Demon Gods and give you a copy directly."

"Saving you two hundred years of hard collection time?"

Locke raised an eyebrow. "So generous? Seems like it's very dangerous there."

Wizard Warwick chuckled. "The abyssal ruin is a special ancient tomb located in the abyss."

"Of course it's dangerous, but there's something special I need to advance to Second Circle wizard there."

"I was originally planning to bring a friend of mine after transforming into an abyssal body to go there together, but after using my Eye of Wisdom to see the power characteristics of you, Eye Demon Wizard, I changed my mind."

"If you agree to this trade, we need to sign another contract authenticated by the Eye of Truth."

Wizard Warwick looked at Locke and said, "But we need to go to the abyssal ruin."

Locke frowned. "Not recently. I have to participate in the Cloud Marsh Cup."

The finals of the Cloud Marsh Cup were approaching soon. He estimated he would still need to make a trip to the Cloud Marsh Wetland. There was no way he'd have remaining time to do other things.

Moreover, exploring an abyssal ruin sounded rather dangerous.

Wizard Warwick frowned and explained, "In that ruin, there are special resources that can allow archaeology wizards to advance to Second Circle wizard. If you still want to walk the archaeology path in the future, you must go to that type of ruin."

"Compared to that, it's better to go with us. That way our chances of success are greater. In that ruin, Second Circle level enemies shouldn't appear, but there will be many dangers with Second Circle characteristics."

"Alright, one more wizard means one more hope. How long do you need me to wait?"

Wizard Warwick said, "I can wait for you. Moreover, the information from this Book of Demon Gods can be copied one-third to you first. Anyway, as long as you obtain one-third of it, you'll definitely want the remaining content."

"Two hundred years of collection time, who wouldn't want to skip it directly?"

Locke thought for a moment and said, "You need to wait at least two years for me."

"And, since that's the case, I don't want to sign a contract. At that time, my condition will determine whether I participate in your operation."

Wizard Warwick frowned. "Two years? How can it take two years?"

"Alright, two years then... two years is fine. I'll wait two years for you. This kind of thing really can't be rushed." Wizard Warwick originally wanted to refuse, but he suddenly realized that he indeed needed to prepare for a period of time before exploring the abyssal ancient tomb, and this time would also need quite a long period.

Locke had calculated that currently his magical pressure was around 7,000. Two years from now, at the slowest, he could become a crystallization stage wizard.

Then following this black wizard to the ruin would have both security guarantees and potential gains.

But if he went in the near future, with his magical pressure only at 7,000, why would he need to consider breaking through to Second Circle wizard?

Moreover, he still needed to investigate some information about abyssal ancient tombs. If it was truly too dangerous, then he couldn't go.
