As the sky gradually turned pale, Jia Lan could tell at a glance that these ancient buildings had existed for at least five hundred years with his archaeological knowledge!
If he had only been frozen for a hundred years, the mangrove castle built during this hundred years should not have been so dilapidated. Moreover, as an academy, there must be someone here who is responsible for maintaining and repairing these valuable castles.
But for Jia Lan, a hundred years or five hundred years makes little difference. He and his relatives and friends are not long-lived races. Whether it was a hundred years or five hundred years, his circle of life had already changed a lot. Not to mention now, it is simply a completely unfamiliar era.
Thinking of the hall full of what he thought was "junk", and then thinking of the marble platform where he lay when he woke up, Jia Lan suddenly realized that his "identity" before waking up might be like the "junk" people of this era see, all rare "exhibits".
This not-so-good "identity" reminded him of the "Northern Ice Thistle" that he had dissected out of the ice under the guidance of his teacher.
If the magicians of this era knew that he crawled out of the "eternal ice" displayed as an antique, Jia Lan felt that his fate might be worse than the "Northern Ice Thistle" he dissected with his own hands.
Never underestimate the curiosity and thirst for knowledge of magicians!
Jia Lan silently reminded himself that this saying circulated among the dwarf scholars of "Zilago" was very true. If he revealed that he crawled out of the "eternal ice", he would not only have to consider his own safety, but also have to worry about how to compensate the academy, that is, the owner of the utility room, for the "eternal ice" as an antique.
He might even be regarded as a liar or a thief, because he could not explain why the "eternal ice" that had not melted for thousands of years would melt under the moonlight. Just like the truly valuable amber, the value is not in the amber itself, but in the worms wrapped inside, where can he find a "thing" wrapped in "eternal ice" to compensate others?
"Sorry! I didn't mean to destroy your college's collection, but I have to keep this a secret to save my life..." Jia Lan muttered to himself, and suddenly found that his throat seemed to be able to make sounds. Perhaps it was the dew in the morning, and the moist air made his throat feel more comfortable. He coughed twice, and the recovery of his throat reminded him to check his body. After being frozen for so long, other organs besides his throat might have problems. He closed his eyes and used meditation to check his body with his mental power. Fortunately, "Eternal Ice" protected him very well. Except for being a little weak, his organs were still very healthy, and even time did not leave any traces on him. This "Ice Coffin" is really worthy of its reputation, and it can even freeze time.

Wait!
Where is the guy who has been making noise in his head?
Jia Lan suddenly found that his soul was too "quiet", and the alien soul disappeared!
Back then, he was the youngest genius magician in the "Kolanburg Library". Unfortunately, in an alien summoning ceremony hosted by his teacher, he volunteered to be a test subject, but the experiment failed, and a mysterious alien soul appeared in his body.
Because of the interference of this alien soul, although he has doubled his mental power and photographic memory, because of the conflict of consciousness between the two souls in his body, he can't cast spells above level 1 that require high "concentration". So, he went from being a genius envied by everyone to being ridiculed as a "dual soul".
Because there are two souls in conflict in his body, Jia Lan can't learn high-level spells. Therefore, he can only change from a magician to a theorist who studies arcane knowledge in the guilt and regret of his teacher.
However, with the advantage of two souls, his mental power is twice that of a magician of the same level, and his strong mental power makes his memory super strong. This made Jia Lan praised by the great arcane mages of the "Kolanburg Library" as a "genius scholar" and a "living catalog stone".
He can clearly remember the catalogs of various documents stored in up to three million book rooms in the "Kolanburg Library", so his theoretical knowledge is unmatched in the field of arcane magic. Even his teacher is ashamed of himself.
Therefore, he can replace his teacher in charge of the "Catalog Stone" of the "Kolanburg Library" as a scholar who can hardly cast spells, and regain people's respect in the field of arcane academics. No one will look down on him because he can only cast 0-level spells and a small number of 1-level spells.
Now, there is often a voice in his mind, sometimes speaking in an incomprehensible language, and sometimes shouting wildly, like a crazy alien.
However, he has become accustomed to thinking in a noisy environment, and is no longer disturbed by this voice. But why did this guy suddenly disappear?
For Jia Lan, this is really great news! If this voice really disappears, then he can start learning spells again and become a magician again!
Jia Lan felt a little nervous. He quietly used his mental power to check his soul, fearing that the madman was just joking with him and hiding, and then jump out to scare him when he was too happy, and then make fun of him with his unique "wahahahaha..." crazy laughter.
