Chapter 493 - Magic Gears
Lin Li was certain that Gerian was not the first person to have read the diary in the thousand of years. The content of the diary was full of vague hypotheses. Anyone would have deemed it as something created to trick people.
However, now that Lin Li had found the underground palace, he could be sure that its author had to be somebody who had lived in the past. Then, might he be able to glean some clues from the diary? Although Gerian did not bring the original diary with him, he had written down all of its contents based on his memory into a notebook and passed it to Lin Li when they parted ways.
Did I miss any information? Lin Li thought as he took out that notebook and flipped through it casually despite the fact that he had already remembered all of its contents. Suddenly, his hands stopped, and a smile appeared on his face. Although the diary did not have a detailed description of the events, there was something he could use a diary to ascertain—the dates.
Dates were to be in any diary entry. Yet, what was the use of knowing the date the underground palace had been established?
The underground palace had been built a century before the extinction of the High Elves. Lin Li could remember reading from a book, titled The Book of the Forgotten, that the previously unknown study of the magic gears that did not enjoy much importance had been popular for a period of time then.
Although no one could verify the origin of the magic gears, most people believed there to be a relationship between the study of magic gears and alchemy, or that both of them originated from the Goblins’ Era. Indeed, there were a lot of technical skills necessary to produce the well-known Alchemy Colossuses that were related to magic gears.
There was also a product from the application of the magic gears called the Gear Puppets. From their appearance, they resembled the Alchemy Colossuses, yet both items had vastly different powers.
