179 A forgettable book (1/2)
Despite the grandeur in the names of the book, Sinir did not think too much of it. As a high ranking member of an organization that was second to none with regards to magic knowledge, she has an ample understanding regarding the principles of resurrection.
That was even more truth about rune crafting. She was not a runemaster herself, but she knows the requirement for every Rank and the capabilities of runes at Rank 4 and above.
Of course, she did not make a judgment of the books before understanding the knowledge inside them. Zatiel may be a Rank 2 life form, but she knows someone who obtained the citizenship from the Scientia Kingdom could not be measure by normal standards.
Everyone was waiting for Zatiel to explain the book and even the mighty Gabriel was focus on them.
Seen that everyone's attention was on him, Zatiel raised the 'Book of rune crafting' before speaking.
”The book is divided into two parts. The first has everything you need to know about rune crafting, from the most simple parts to the most complicated ones. There is a step by step course in it that will take you from Rank 0 Runemaster all the way to Peak Rank 3 Runemaster as long your energy pool is high enough. Even for the less talented individual that exists, it will only take one hundred and twenty years to complete it.” Zatiel voice was calm and it was obvious that he did not consider this section of the book important.
When she hears this, Sirin's eyes showed some interest and focuses on the book in Zatiel's hand.
The Runemaster profession is an extremely hard one to progress. For a book to be able to guide someone from knowing nothing to the Peak Rank 3 without any sort of external teaching or assistance, it means that the one who wrote it has an understanding of the fundamentals of rune crafting way higher than an Origin Runemaster.
Runemasters are very important to any organization. The fact that it will take more than a century for someone with little talent to complete the course wasn't that important since a Rank 3 life form can usually live thousands of years.
”The second part of the book has a series of paths that can be taken to become an Origin Runemaster. Talent for this is essential but the paths are very clear and for someone who manages to become a Rank 3 Runemaster just with his abilities and without external guidance, there is a twenty percent chance of achieving it.”
It was only now that some trace of pride could be felt in Zatiel voice and his word surprised everyone in the room.
The percentage of Rank 3 Runemasters that have managed to take the next step and become an Origin Runemaster is inferior to 1% and it was not rare for some of them to become a Rank 4 life form but never advance in rune crafting.
There is no price those individuals will not be willing to pay for a book that offers them a path with a twenty percent chance to take the final step forward.
After hearing the information about the 'The Book of rune crafting', Sirin was waiting to hear what marvels the other book will have.
Zatiel saw that he had managed to captivate the attention of the woman and proceeds to explain the 'Book of resurrection.'
”This book is an encyclopedia containing all the necromancy magic and knowledge about the soul necessary to perform resurrections. The first section contains methods to apply that knowledge that will allow a Rank 4 life form to resurrect someone who had died less than five hundred years ago, who was a Rank 3 life form or inferior and whose soul is intact.”
Resurrection may seem impressive to mortal and to some lower Rank life forms, but to everyone in the room, it was something that could be done with magic and power. After all, Totto was someone who could resurrect people.
But still, the were impressed with the book since not even the Lich who was a master necromancer could bring back someone who has died for so long and whose soul spend hundreds of years in The Eternal River of the Afterlife.
Despite their surprise, Zatiel was far from over and continue speaking.
”The second section has hundred of rituals that a Rank 4 life form can perform to bring back to life someone who has died due to old age and give them twenty years of life extra.”
If before they though the book was impressive, now they considered it a priceless object.
Trying to resurrect someone who has died due to their life span being over was a hopeless task unless you have reached an incredibly high control over the Law of Life and the Law of Death, but that was virtually impossible for a Rank 4 life form.
This happens due to the laws affecting the soul of the persons who have died due to their life force naturally extinguishing and if they are brought back, even if their souls are put in a young body, they will perish in seconds.
