Chapter 987 987 Magi History

Wolfe began to delve into the notes that the Librarian had copied for him, and wished that they had a witch handy to duplicate the entire book for him to read. Too much of the Magi history was lost, and the pages that the Librarian thought were useful weren't always the same ones that Wolfe thought would be useful.

For example, the one on the fivefold Kings started in the middle of an explanation about how the five thrones were arrayed in the throne room, which implied that they all ruled from a castle. However, that wasn't anything that was known in Magi history here. They were reclusive, and didn't rule over anything.

Or perhaps, it was only called a throne room because it held the five Kings? There was no way to tell with the pages that he had.

But the fact that there were five of them, each with five pentacles of five advisors suggested that the fivefold Kings were in a Pentacle with each other as well, to balance their powers and help each other grow.

That sounded like the sort of thing that the Magi would do for their leadership council, to ensure that one didn't overthrow the others or let power go to their head and become a tyrant.

It wasn't a complete tome, just the targeted information so that he would see what they wanted him to learn about the need for five pentacles to maximize the King's power, so Wolfe was left guessing.

According to the transcribed page, the Noxus Clan hosted the Kings so that they could take advantage of something called Soul Transmission to contact their advisors and keep in touch with what was going on all over the world.

That was a curious statement. They were in Pentacles, so naturally, they would be able to communicate with each other. Or perhaps, that was Soul Transmission, and not everyone could do it.

If it was a Noxus Family trait, as they specialized in Unholy Magic, which was strongly soul and body focused, then it might be that others couldn't talk to their Pentacles over long distances as Wolfe could.

Right now, it wasn't possible, but given a few years, the Frozen Wastes and surrounding areas would have enough powerful magic users that they could actually afford to have the Guardians work in pairs.

The next page was incredibly interesting. It was just an excerpt of an interaction between a Magi Ambassador, and a tribal King of the Fallen Empire's world, before they had made contact with their Divine One and gained the power of Unholy Magic on a massive scale.

At the time, they were a nomadic world and their shamans called upon unknown spirits for power, which turned out to be mostly from the Lowest Planes, due to a quirk in the locals' magic. The Magi had taught them how to avoid being corrupted by their spells so that they wouldn't turn into Spawn, the lowest of the beings in the Lowest Planes.

It didn't specifically say that it was a Magi, but the description made it sound like one, as the man rescued a tribe by calling down a massive storm from the sky, and mighty tornados to destroy an attacking army of beasts.

It was conjecture, but Wolfe did know that spell, and it was a mighty one.

But now that he thought about it, at Rank Eight, if he dumped all his mana from eight full mana cores into the effect, he could likely blanket an entire continent in the spell. The level of destruction would be apocalyptic, and there was only one of him.

"You look like you're thinking very deeply about something." Cassie commented.

Wolfe nodded. "You know that [Thunderstorm] spell, with the tornadoes, lightning and the pouring rain? I was just reading through these history reports, and it made me realize, I could probably make it cover an entire continent. I don't even have nature magic, but I could end a drought."

"Don't even think of it." Cassie warned him. She knew Wolfe far too well to allow him to let his mind wander down that train of thought.
