Chapter 389

Gao De's gaze was so intense that Kun Ting was a bit confused:

What did he say that touched the excitement point of this Enduring Enduring Zhenbing King?

"Where did you get your Shadow-Recording Stones?" Gao De stared at the silver-white stone in Kun Ting's hand and asked seriously.

"This?" Kun Ting was slightly surprised in his heart, never expecting that after he had talked for a long time, Gao De's focus had actually turned to the Shadow-Recording Stone.

What kind of script is this?

Puzzlement aside, the Shadow-Recording Stone was not some incredible treasure.

So Kun Ting did not hesitate at all and answered directly: "This thing was actually discovered by accident by Ian, a guardian in the sect, more than a hundred years ago."

"Tell me about it." Gao De showed an interested expression.

"At that time, Ian was performing the doctrine on the snowfield as usual, but encountered a blizzard. In order to avoid the wind and snow, he temporarily borrowed a stay in a small tribe nearby."

"That tribe was called Tutu, very, very small, with only two thousand people, and there were only two Ice-Born mages in the tribe."

"This Shadow-Recording Stone was discovered in the Tutu tribe, but its function hadn't been unearthed at the time; instead, it was regarded as a good-looking mineral by the people of the Tutu tribe and used as a toy for the children of the tribe."

"A naughty tribal child hid one of the Shadow-Recording Stones under the bedding. When Ian was running his cultivation method, he accidentally triggered the Shadow-Recording Stone, thereby discovering the function of the Shadow-Recording Stone."

"Although the function of the Shadow-Recording Stone is not great, the effect of being able to vividly record light and shadow still made Ian feel that this thing was quite rare, so he let the tribe take him to see the place where the Shadow-Recording Stone was discovered."

"That was a small Shadow-Recording Stone vein hidden under the permafrost."

"Ian also felt that this thing was rare, so he dug a few pieces to carry with him, and when he returned to the sect headquarters for repairs, he brought them back to the sect together."

"We studied it carefully and found that it actually still has many defects, such as the range it can record is extremely small."

Kun Ting gestured with his hand, "It can only record about one-fifth of the scene in this room, which means the light and shadow it records can accommodate at most three people; if there is one more person, it won't record it completely."

It's just that the sensor is relatively small, and it's fixed-focus. Gao De quickly translated Kun Ting's words.

"Then, the Shadow-Recording Stone needs to be injected with mana to be activated, so it can only be used by mages, and as the number of uses increases, the light and shadow recorded inside will become increasingly blurred."

"Finally, although this thing can be injected with mana in reverse many times, the effect of recording light and shadow is one-time."

"That is to say, one Shadow-Recording Stone can only record one segment of light and shadow, but it can present this recorded segment of light and shadow many times."

"This thing doesn't look big, but it still has weight. Carrying too many on one's body is too inconvenient, and if you only carry one or two, because of these characteristics of the Shadow-Recording Stones themselves, it's obviously not enough."

"Therefore, after pondering for a long time, the final conclusion is that the Shadow-Recording Stone is just a fresh gadget, and its actual effect is not great, but it is very convenient for the guardians scattered in all directions to pass important information."

"Before this, we guardians left letters to each other using normal letter paper, which was generally enough, but compared to the Shadow-Recording Stone, when passing important information, the amount of information the letter paper can convey is relatively small, and it is not easy to confirm the authenticity."

"The Shadow-Recording Stone just happens to avoid these defects and can be used in combination with letter paper."

"And for a Shadow-Recording Stone this big," Kun Ting fiddled with the Shadow-Recording Stone in his hand and said, "It can record nearly an hour of light and shadow."

"Since then, the Shadow-Recording Stone has slowly spread among us guardians; every guardian carries two or three Shadow-Recording Stones with them when they go out, in case of emergency."

After explaining the ins and outs of the Shadow-Recording Stone in one breath, Kun Ting observed Gao De's reaction with the corner of his eye.

Although he didn't think the Shadow-Recording Stone was a rare gadget, he could see that this young "Enduring Enduring Zhenbing King" who carried some legendary colors was very concerned about it, so he stated everything related to the Shadow-Recording Stone very seriously.

Then, Kun Ting discovered that after listening to his description, Gao De's eyes became even brighter.

"How much reserve is left in that Shadow-Recording Stone vein?" Gao De asked again.

This is the key.

Kun Ting thought for a while and affirmed, "I don't know the specifics, but at least more than half is left, because everyone just goes to dig a batch when there is a need, and usually doesn't move it."

"Good!" Gao De's tone was slightly excited, and even the gaze that had been looking at Kun Ting with scrutiny became much kinder.

Although he didn't know what was good about it, it was obvious that Gao De was in a good mood now. Kun Ting hurriedly "struck while the iron was hot" and spoke again: "Then the matter I mentioned, what do you think..."

Looking at this Chief Guardian with a rough appearance, Gao De did not speak for a while.

For the sect of the Snowfield Guardians, he didn't have much affection.

But for the group of guardians, at least after witnessing Baruke's actions with his own eyes and having had a brief interaction with him, Gao De actually had a lot of affection.

This is a group of idealists.

He pondered carefully for a while and finally said, "I agree to the matter you mentioned. It is indeed as you said; there are many small tribes that simply cannot know the news that Phoenix is willing to accept them. We need to take the initiative to find them."

"Just follow what you said; you are responsible for leading the way, and you should also summon the other guardians as soon as possible. No matter how many tribes there are, Enduring Enduring Zhenbing is willing to accept them."

"The first target, let's set it as this Tutu tribe," Gao De said decisively, not hiding his intentions: "By the way, mine out that small Shadow-Recording Stone vein; Phoenix needs these Shadow-Recording Stones right now."

"No problem." Kun Ting nodded, naturally not stupid enough to ask what Gao De wanted to do with the Shadow-Recording Stones.

"Then let's do it like this for now; the specific arrangements will be handled by someone to connect with you later," Gao De waved his hand and said.

"Okay." Kun Ting turned and withdrew very sensibly, but after only two steps, he turned his head again.

"What's wrong?" Gao De asked.

Kun Ting said embarrassedly, "Can you arrange a residence for me in Phoenix? I'm used to drifting on the snowfield and can spend the night anywhere outside, but if I do that, I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to find me."

Gao De turned his head to look at Su Nai with a strange expression. Su Nai immediately understood and said to Kun Ting, "After you go out, go find the guard at the door and let him arrange a residence for you."

"Thank you, generous Enduring Enduring Zhenbing War Mother, Enduring Enduring Zhenbing King." Kun Ting made a Snowfield Guardian gesture with his hand on his chest.

After Kun Ting had completely left, Gao De said, "Observe for a few days first to see if there are any problems with his actions."

Su Nai, who had been puzzled for a long time, first nodded slightly, agreeing to Gao De's request, and then asked, "Does this Shadow-Recording Stone have any huge function that hasn't been unearthed by them yet?"

"That's not the case. I'm also hearing about the Shadow-Recording Stone for the first time; how would I know what hidden effects it has?" Gao De said seriously, "However, the effects it is currently showing are already important enough for Phoenix."

"Hmm?" Su Nai blinked her eyes, still a bit confused.

She is a very smart person, but some things, if she hasn't seen them, are indeed difficult to think of for a while.

"It can solve the education problem that gives us the biggest headache right now."

"Ah?!"

Gao De did not keep her in suspense and explained directly: "We can use the Shadow-Recording Stone to produce high-quality teaching online courses—that is, after activating the Shadow-Recording Stone, let the teacher give a lecture to the Shadow-Recording Stone, and then inject mana in reverse in the school to start the Shadow-Recording Stone to play the online course for teaching."

"In this way, as long as there are enough Shadow-Recording Stones, one teacher can be used as countless teachers."

"Of course, compared to real teachers, online courses certainly have many shortcomings, but in the transition stage, it is completely enough to be used for basic education."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning."

"We only need to use the Shadow-Recording Stone to get through the starting stage of universal education, and that's enough."

Su Nai looked at Gao De with a look of surprise.

"What's wrong?" Now it was Gao De's turn to be puzzled.

"I'm thinking, how exactly did these ideas of yours pop up?" Su Nai sighed, "Just at the first sight of the Shadow-Recording Stone, you could actually think of using its function to solve the education problem."

"You are truly a genius," Su Nai said sincerely.

"This can't be considered a genius." Gao De waved his hand. It would be fine if others said that about him, but Su Nai was a true genius in the real sense; for her to say that, Gao De would only feel guilty.

Inside the room.

Gao De took out the bottle containing the second-rank Ice Malice he had just obtained.

With a click, Gao De opened the ice bottle.

Once in contact with the air, those strands of blue airflow representing Ice Malice rotated rapidly inside the bottle, forming a small tornado—bone-chilling, extremely cold, and irritable.

He used Mage Hand to control the bottle to tilt at a certain angle, then took his Ice-Sealing Blade out from his ear and placed it at the mouth of the bottle.

An instant later, the extremely cold second-rank Ice Malice poured out, gathering around Gao De's Ice-Sealing Blade.

Gao De closed his eyes slightly, and his limit-breaking mental power began to follow the strengthening method, peeling the second-rank Ice Malice like silk, and then guiding it to merge into his own Ice-Sealing Blade.

Compared to doing this last time, now with the blessing of powerful mental power, the whole process was as easy and relaxed as Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts.

One bottle of Ice Malice, a total of ten strands, one hundred threads.

Last time, Gao De spent more than two hours peeling all the Ice Malice into threads and melting them into the Ice-Sealing Blade.

And this time, it took no more than a quarter of an hour.

After absorbing this bottle of Ice Malice completely, Gao De's ice crystal fragment successfully advanced to a "second-rank Ice-Sealing Blade."

Compared to before, its size and shape had not changed, but the color of the entire ice needle had changed from transparent to a crystalline cyan-blue, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.

Of course, the biggest change was in terms of power.

The original 15-degree piercing damage was increased to 20 degrees, and the 32-degree cold damage grew to 40 degrees.

Combined, it was 20 degrees + 40 degrees of total damage; although it was segmented damage, this power had completely entered the level of second-circle attack spells, and it was damage that only spells at the level of rare spells possessed.

Moreover, Gao De also had 【Intermediate Ice-Blessed Body】, which had an additional bonus to ice-type spells.

This can no longer be called a trump card spell; it should be called a trump card ultimate weapon. Gao De put the second-rank Ice-Sealing Blade back into his ear, feeling happy in his heart.

If he had possessed the second-rank Ice-Sealing Blade when he was in the Ma Ke Ke District, he could have taken down Aldrich without getting hurt at all.

Getting up and leaving the meditation room, Gao De came to the "study" and took out paper and pen.

Before leaving the northern realm, he still needed to seize the time to write a textbook.

He was quite familiar with this matter; the textbook for the "Mathematics" class at Phoenix No. 1 Middle School was written by Gao De himself.

However, this time, the textbook he wrote was not for popularizing education, but for one person to write alone.

"New Standard Runology." Gao De thought for a moment and finally put pen to paper, first setting the name of this textbook.

The first content of the textbook and the content of the first lesson was the most important... "He Xi's Six Great Laws."

But just as Gao De wrote these six big characters, he suddenly stopped writing.

He looked at the six characters "He Xi's Six Great Laws" for a long time, finally threw this page of parchment aside, took out a brand-new blank piece of parchment, and began to write with a swish.

"He Xi Aokeli, born in the year 9291 of the Nolan calendar, Aokeli family of Lin Hai City, first came into contact with Runology at the age of twenty.

At that time, Runology was trapped in traditional thinking patterns and outdated theories. He Xi stepped into this field, not limited by established rules, and with fearless courage and a unique perspective, began a long and arduous journey of exploration...

In the year 9656 of the Nolan calendar, relying on his outstanding talent, astonishing perseverance, and countless deductions and calculations, he successfully perfected He Xi's Six Great Laws, unraveling the dark clouds covering Runology.

In the same month, He Xi passed away from illness at the Sairui School of Magic in the Shengxi Encheng Principality, but please rest in peace; he has already unearthed the truth.

Under He Xi's outstanding talent and painstaking efforts, Runology has already been rejuvenated, reformed, and changed, making Runology move from a fuzzy state to a clear and systematic system...

He is a great pioneer, opening up a new path for Runology with fearless courage; he is an unyielding explorer, never giving up the exploration of knowledge in the face of difficulties and obstacles; he is a seeker of truth, digging out the laws of Runology with his life's painstaking efforts..."

"His name will be forever engraved on the historical monument of new Runology."

"Salute to He Xi Aokeli, the founder of the New Standard Runology!"

"Autumn month of 9655, Gao De, respectfully recorded at Dean Jia Wen Building."

After writing the last word, Gao De slowly let out a long breath, with inexplicable emotions surging in his heart.

Yes, the content of the first lesson of the New Standard Runology was not He Xi's Six Great Laws, but the biography of He Xi Aokeli.

When drinking water, don't forget the well-digger; as the founder of the new Runology, He Xi sacrificed too, too much for the new Runology.

Everyone who learns the new Runology should know him, respect him, and be grateful to him.

After various thoughts flashed through his mind, Gao De suppressed his surging emotions and then continued to write the main text.

The most important thing in the New Standard Runology is He Xi's Six Great Laws, but the basic rune learning in the old Runology education system must certainly be included in the textbook.

He Xi's Six Great Laws are tools, and basic runes are raw materials; both are indispensable.

Fortunately, under He Xi's strict requirements, Gao De had mastered the knowledge of basic runes firmly enough, so there was no place where he got stuck while writing the textbook.

But for high-rank runes beyond first-rank runes, He Xi hadn't had time to teach him yet.

But it was not a big problem either. After entering the Sea Sentinels of the Jin Jin Quehua Dynasty, Gao De believed that he would certainly have the opportunity to come into contact with even Runology knowledge.

With focused attention, this New Standard Runology was quickly preliminarily completed.

Gao De got up, stretched, and left the room with the textbook.

Anna would definitely be very happy when she received this "big gift" he had carefully prepared!
