Nethys Scroll.
There were a hundred of them in total.
Based on the degree of wear in their appearance, they were divided into two sets.
Fifty scrolls each.
By this day, they had become the undisputed national treasure of the Kingdom of Netheril.
Their existence undoubtedly carried many special implications.
Moreover, unlike in the past, they were no longer something that just anyone could access.
Even among the native citizens of the Kingdom of Netheril.
Only a very small number of outstanding individuals were qualified to read them after passing rigorous review.
Under normal circumstances.
The two sets of Nethys Scroll were generally stored separately in the two most heavily guarded treasure vaults, just in case.
Not only were the vaults surrounded by exceptionally complex Defensive Barriers, but they were also protected by large numbers of guards, Magic Puppets, and magical traps.
They could be called the most tightly secured areas in the Kingdom of Netheril!
Basically.
Such defenses could already be described as seamless.
Even the most powerful Grand Arcanists would have had absolutely no way to steal them without a sound.
However.
Even after things had been taken to that extent.
In the year 764 of Netheril.
An entire set of Nethys Scroll was still stolen by several commoners who broke into a treasure vault...
And the vault's guards died silently at their hands as well!
Throughout the whole process, they triggered no alarms or magical traps whatsoever.
Even the Defensive Barrier was left completely undamaged!
As though it had malfunctioned!
Everything happened without a sound!
Afterward.
Through investigation, the Grand Arcanists discovered in immense grief.
That perhaps out of fear.
The stolen set of Nethys Scroll was soon burned, cut apart... and even sliced into fragments by those despicable thieves after the incident, then sold to merchants
