And to speed up the process, he even took another sip of Felix Felicis, after all, time was limited, and he had to successfully decipher this magic book in the shortest amount of time.→

Yulia, on the other hand, looked at Anduin with disdain. She had great confidence in the family heirloom, and thought this guy was just wasting his time.

Moreover, Yulia felt a sense of schadenfreude watching Anduin racking his brains.

In this strange atmosphere, time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was 10 hours later. Yulia, who was beside him, couldn't bear it anymore, and her eyelids were drooping. Anduin, who had been working hard all the time, finally raised his head.

"Phew!" Anduin exhaled, his eyes red, and then quickly glanced at his pocket watch. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the time. "Fortunately, I had Felix Felicis to help, otherwise it would have been really impossible to handle it in such a short time."

"There are a total of seven layers of runes, responsible for protection, recording, activation, concealment, energy storage, bloodline, and coordination. The 'coordination' rune serves as the central hub of the entire magic circle. Following this central rune, you can quickly find the communication node. I was stupidly using the brute force method before. Fortunately, I discovered it not too late."

After spending ten hours and an entire half bottle of Felix Felicis, Anduin finally figured out the spell structure of the entire magic book.→

"The next thing to do is to copy it. First of all, the most important thing is the material. If you want to preserve the runes inside and the magic circle on the book, you must have good magic conductivity and sufficient strength, otherwise those high-strength spells, such as the ancient lightning magic rune, cannot withstand it at all."

"But I don't recognize the material of this magic book itself. This thing feels like leather, is soft in texture, and has high strength. What is it made of?" Anduin kept stroking the magic book in his hand, but still had no clue.

"Never mind, isn't it just high strength and high magic conductivity? I'll just force one out. I happen to have a batch of materials on hand."

After sorting out his thoughts, Anduin began to rummage through the materials in his hand. Soon, he selected the materials he needed.

Since he couldn't make the exact same leather magic book, he would make an iron one!

"For strong magic conductivity, Isern mithril is the first choice. To supplement the strength, I'll use some Urim steel and Agrippa alloy. Urim steel mixed with mithril can be used as the cover and spine, the coordination runes are mainly engraved here, and as the magic power confluence area of the multi-layered runes, the required strength is the greatest."

"The pages will be made of Agrippa alloy and Isern mithril. Use two layers of Agrippa alloy to sandwich a layer of mithril. This combines strength and magic conductivity. However, wouldn't this replica magic book be a bit too thick?

Anduin's leather magic book has 150 pages, of which only 67 pages store the runes, and more than half are empty, but it already looks thicker than a normal book of more than 100 pages. The reason is that the thickness of each parchment paper is not small.

"Then I'll make 70 pages for this magic book first, copy the runes out, and then find a way to improve it later." After Anduin had a plan in mind, he acted immediately.

He took out half a mithril candlestick, roughly three-quarters of a pound, a Urim steel bracelet weighing approximately 2 ounces, and a pound of Agrippa alloy from his space bag.

He controlled them to float in the air and began to melt them with the Flame Charm. During this period, he drank two more tonics to replenish his physical strength and magic power.

Yulia, who was so sleepy that she was about to fall asleep, was suddenly awakened by Anduin's actions, and then witnessed an alchemical performance in stunned silence.

Anduin was already quite skilled at processing metal materials, after all, most of the alchemical equipment on his body used metal materials.

With the help of magic, his smooth movements were as pleasing to the eye as an industrialized machine.

Anduin used 'Incendio' to melt the metal into liquid, and then mixed a portion of mithril and Urim steel for later use.

Then, he used Transfiguration to shape the remaining mithril and Agrippa alloy into metal pages the size of A4 paper.

Combining the three metal pages together in a 1:2 ratio, the residual heat of the three metal pages allowed them to fuse together. With Anduin's constant guidance with magic power, a one-millimeter-thick metal plate was finally formed.

Then it was assembly line work. After 70 consecutive operations, all the pages were completed. At this time, the mixed metal of mithril and Urim steel had also completed its texture fusion, and then Transfiguration was used again to shape it into a cover. The inner spine part had a row of semi-circular buckles.

The main reason for making it in this form is that the metal pages cannot be turned. To solve this problem, he had to find a way on the spine. This way, he could punch a few holes in the metal pages, so that they could be put on the rings of the spine. If he wanted to add pages in the future, he could just put them on, which was very convenient.

Fortunately, the main function of the spine is to coordinate the runes of each layer, and it is only necessary to leave magic power channels at the junction of the pages and the spine. It's just that the magic power fluctuations will be greater than the original magic book. After all, unstable joints are more prone to magic power overflow, but it can be used now, and other things can only be said later.

This operation took him nearly an hour. Maintaining high-intensity magic power control made his scalp tingle, but the work was not yet completed.

The next step was to inscribe the runes. To ensure sufficient concentration, Anduin drank another bottle of Focus Potion.

Then it was a slow and steady job. Fortunately, his enchanting skills were already quite proficient. The trouble was that the quantity was too large and it would take too much time.

Three hours later, Anduin finally completed the magic power coordination runes on the spine, the bloodline, concealment, and protection spells on the upper and lower covers, and the recording, activation, and energy storage runes on the 70 metal pages.

The time spent on this magic book alone was twice as long as the time he spent choosing books. By now, he had been in this library for nearly 20 hours.

Stretching his hands, which were a little stiff from engraving the magic runes, a smile finally appeared on Anduin's somewhat pale face.

Yulia, who had been with Anduin for almost a day, was now forcing herself to stay awake. Watching Anduin create this replica magic book from scratch, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva in shock.

Why use the word 'block' to describe it? Because the finished product of this magic book looks like a silver-metallic brick the size of an A4 piece of paper and ten centimeters thick. No one can associate it with a book.

If this thing is used to smash people, it is estimated that it can easily smash people's brains out.
