Chapter 111: Promoted to "Wizard"
The potion of "Combat Scholar" has been completely digested. The main and auxiliary materials of "Wizard" are already in hand, and it is time to promote!
Originally, Odysseus was planning to promote tonight, but he was delayed by Mike's matter, and his original promotion plan was disrupted. It was midnight, and he had time to consider whether to promote.
Odysseus took a deep breath. Although it was late, he felt that he was in a pretty good state.
Then let's promote tonight. Sequence 7 is also the qualitative change stage of the "Secret Peeper" path. After becoming a "Wizard", you can use some extraordinary abilities, which can greatly improve your self-protection ability and attack power.
So Odysseus took the lamp and went to the front counter to find all the auxiliary materials, and took out another main material from the "Knowledge Wilderness": the brain of the pale long-necked beast.
After the materials were prepared, he began to prepare the potion.
First, he dripped 6 drops of aconite juice, which was somewhat toxic, into the beaker, and then weighed 18 grams of purple black-edged lilac flower powder, which had a hallucinogenic effect.
Then add 60 ml of pure water, and a dose of poison that can cause angina pectoris and hallucinations is ready.
This made Odysseus sigh: the auxiliary materials in the potion formula are completely fighting poison with poison!
Then he added the deep red blood of the silver-billed crane to the beaker. From a pharmacological point of view, this is a tonic, but it has no detoxification effect.
Odysseus opened the two wooden boxes in front of him and first took out the small brain that seemed to have blood flowing.
This brain is about the size of a thumb, but it is very similar to the human brain. There are dot-shaped illusory lights in the crystal clear tiny blood vessels. Under the reflection of these lights, it seems that there is blood flowing.
After adding the main ingredients, the liquid in the beaker reacted quickly. Odysseus did not stir it, but the potion flowed by itself, as if it was melting the solid in it.
Finally, Odysseus added two "fruits of the flying tung tree" the size of longans, which occasionally moved slightly.
The potion in the cup suddenly formed a small vortex shape, and under their own stirring, it finally turned into a ball of syrupy liquid with a little starlight.
Odysseus thought: It looks more delicious than the potion of "Fighting Scholar".
He took a deep breath and used "meditation" to calm his inner thoughts. After he calmed down, he drank the potion suddenly.
As soon as the cold potion entered his stomach, Odysseus seemed to hear a violent "boom" sound, and the whole person became a little confused, as if he had returned to his innocent childhood, carefree.
But this wonderful feeling quickly disappeared. After two or three seconds, Odysseus felt a splitting headache. It seemed that something was coming out of his head, but he couldn't find the exit, so it was stirring in his head.
Odysseus even had an illusion that his head seemed to have turned into cartilage, and something was pushing up the left side of his skull from the inside, and then the right side of his skull.
In fact, this was not his illusion. At this time, his head really seemed to have become as soft as a balloon filled with water. There was a small bump moving around, as if there was a small snake slithering around inside. The sound of the
beaker
falling to the ground made Odysseus regain some sanity. He tried to use his will to fight the pain and avoid fainting from the pain.
But soon, the pain of needles pricking his head came again. Not only was it stabbed, but it was also stirred after the stabbing.
Then it changed to the pain of being cut by a knife, and then the pain of being clamped by two hard objects...
It was as if someone was using various torture instruments to entertain Odysseus's brain and let it suffer.
Finally, the first round of pain in the head ended, and the colic started again, but the second round of pain was much lighter. Odysseus quickly used "meditation" to resist this pain, and soon, the symptoms were greatly alleviated.
But Odysseus knew very well that he had to grit his teeth and get through the last level of promotion.
After the pain had basically disappeared, suddenly, the strange and cold voice entered Odysseus' ears again:
"Infinite universe! You... pile up... jump around... knowledge... Carnar... endless..."
Although he could hear a few more words this time than the last time he was promoted, most of them were still unclear.
Those unclear parts were like the roar of a beast, which made Odysseus tremble with fear; or like nails scratching a thin iron plate, making a sharp noise, making him extremely irritated; or like ultrasonic waves that could cause harm, making him dizzy.
Fortunately, the voice disappeared quickly, but Odysseus had already fallen to the ground, with veins on his forehead bulging, as if he had lost consciousness for a short while.
Then a severe dizziness came over him, as if he was very carsick or very drunk, and he began to retch again.
After a minute or two, Odysseus panted violently and slowly got up from the ground: No, I have to find a way to block the voice of the "Hidden Sage".
Otherwise, he had just been promoted and was weak. It was too scary to hear him shout like that!
Odysseus planned to talk to Bernadette when the opportunity was right and lend her something.
Roselle seemed to have made her a magical item that could prevent her from being "pursued" by the "Hidden Sage". Let's see if we can research and make a low-profile version, or find a way to copy one.
But that was not the question to think about now. Odysseus continued to use "meditation" to stabilize his state.
After two or three minutes, all the discomfort on Odysseus' body disappeared, but if he pressed his head, he still felt a little numb.
This made him seriously suspect that the magic potion of Sequence 7 "Wizard" might mainly strengthen the brain, so during the promotion process, he basically had various headache symptoms.
Then Odysseus used his spirituality to perceive the new abilities he had gained after the promotion. First of all, he had the ability to cast "spells" or "witchcraft". This term was too general and should be called "a series of witchcraft".
He could use spiritual materials and extraordinary abilities to cast one witchcraft after another.
For example, when needed, Odysseus could use the "flying powder" prepared in advance with spiritual materials as a medium to cast a short-term flying witchcraft.
In this process, Odysseus had to outline the mystical symbols corresponding to this witchcraft in his mind.
The formula of "flying powder" was the knowledge that Odysseus had mastered after his promotion.
At this time, he had twelve pieces of knowledge similar to "flying", including the corresponding mystical symbols and the formula of the spiritual materials needed.
Odysseus took his pipe and thought while playing with it: To summarize the knowledge about casting witchcraft in his mind, the three elements of casting witchcraft are extraordinary abilities, spirituality, and materials.
He had a more vivid metaphor: when casting witchcraft, the corresponding mystical symbols that appeared in his mind were like a startup code, allowing the extraordinary characteristics in the body to exert the corresponding power.
In other words, as long as you have enough knowledge of occultism, you can also create the "startup code" of witchcraft.
The twelve witchcrafts are a bit like "must-have" software for installation. If you know how to program and design software, you can also design the required software yourself!
Then Odysseus carefully "read" the occult symbols corresponding to the twelve witchcrafts he has mastered in his mind.
He soon discovered that these occult symbols looked similar to the common occult symbols, but if you study them carefully, their usage is completely different. These symbols are simpler, and the content expressed by a single symbol is more complex and has more symbolic meaning.
At the same time, these occult symbols are also very different from the occult symbols deduced by Odysseus.
Odysseus scratched his head. The occult symbols he had worked so hard to deduce turned out to be incompatible with witchcraft. This is troublesome.
But he thought again that these symbols are all symbolic symbols and originally have no fixed appearance.
Just like the seven countries in the Warring States period, the characters were also different, but if they were used to write the information, the meanings expressed were basically the same.
So Odysseus had a bold idea: Can I use witchcraft with the occult symbols I deduced?
An experiment must be done.
Among the twelve witchcrafts, he found a "fire magic" with relatively easy-to-prepare spiritual materials, so he immediately went to the medicine shop in front and found the leaves of the flaming red maple tree ground into powder and the red fluff on the fire marten.
Cut the red fluff into pieces and add the powder to prepare the materials needed for the "fire magic".
Odysseus first replaced the occult symbols of "fire magic" in his mind with the symbols he deduced.
Then he came to the yard, sketched out the corresponding symbolic symbols in his mind, injected spirituality into the spiritual materials, and sprinkled the powder.
Whoosh~
The powder that was sprinkled ignited a fire!
Success!
It really works!
As the flames in front of him extinguished, Odysseus almost roared to the sky. With his research on occult symbols and spirituality, he will be the wizard with the most witchcraft!
Back in the house, Odysseus had a smile on his face. He filled his pipe and then used his hand to dip a few grains of the powder used for "Pyromancy".
A small flame formed on his finger. He lit the pipe with the flame and took a long puff.
At this time, he was already considering whether to write a book "Witchcraft Encyclopedia".
After a brief imagination, Odysseus continued to think about the problem of witchcraft.
After understanding the principle of stimulating extraordinary abilities, he began to think about the second element, the problem of spirituality.
The performance of witchcraft indirectly confirmed his thinking about spirituality and extraordinary characteristics.
He believed that extraordinary characteristics used spirituality as a medium to complete the performance of extraordinary abilities.
In this process, spirituality occupies a very important position. The spirituality in an ordinary state will not have any extraordinary effects, but after the distortion and essential changes of extraordinary characteristics, the state of spirituality becomes very different!
It can mobilize the power of nature, stimulate its own potential, and destroy the spiritual balance in the target's body...
Crack~
There was a sudden thunder outside.
…
Crack~
Max, who was on duty at Backlund, also heard the thunder.
There would definitely not be thunder at this time of year. It was probably the "Substituted Punishers" who were investigating a case.
At this time, the door of Max's office was suddenly pushed open, and a member of the "Mechanical Heart" team held a telegram: "Captain, an urgent message from headquarters."
Max quickly stood up and took the telegram. The content of the telegram was: Odis Gar was promoted to "Wizard", and he was under key observation and monitoring. Chapter 112: You can enter and exit the "Wild Knowledge" at any time
.
The thunder startled Odysseus. He took a puff of his pipe and thought: These discoveries of mine are indeed about the mysteries at the bottom of these worlds. I wonder if a "heavenly calamity" will be sent to send me away?
After teasing himself for a while, he smiled and continued to recall his research on spirituality and extraordinary characteristics.
He believes that the essence of extraordinary ability is the effect of the changes made by extraordinary characteristics on spirituality.
There are many kinds of such changes. For example, normal spiritual particles rotate clockwise, and extraordinary power can change them to rotate counterclockwise. This change will make the spirituality itself release huge energy.
For example, two normal spiritual particles originally floated quietly in the air, but the extraordinary characteristics suddenly injected a new particle between the two spiritual particles, which can only be emitted by the corresponding extraordinary characteristics.
They become a brand new energy source that can create strange power.
Such changes can not only act on natural forces, but also on organisms.
For example, the "mind reading" of the "psychologist" can be regarded as an extraordinary ability, or as the extraordinary characteristics of the "audience", which makes the eyes and brain of the extraordinary people mutate accordingly, and has the ability to penetrate the mental defense line of the target.
Although a lot of research has been done, Odysseus finally found that the changes in spirituality caused by extraordinary characteristics are uncontrollable and unpredictable.
In other words, even if he knows a lot of theories, it does not mean that the underlying logic of this world is controllable or predictable.
On the contrary, the more Odysseus studies, the more he finds that the underlying logic of this world is very chaotic and it is difficult to summarize it with fixed rules.
It can only be summarized as the "three laws of extraordinary characteristics".
However, these studies are not useless. Since the interaction between extraordinary characteristics and spirituality is known, Odysseus can reversely use spirituality to influence the extraordinaryness of this world.
His extraordinary weapons and arrays are all based on these theories and are researched and applicable items.
The process of performing "witchcraft" once again confirmed Odysseus's research results from the side. When the corresponding mystical symbols appeared in his mind, the extraordinary characteristics could be stimulated to make corresponding reactions and make corresponding changes to the spirituality.
This change process was completely a "black box operation" and Odysseus did not study the rules.
The changes caused by the extraordinary characteristics would be transmitted to the spiritual materials spread out through their own spirituality. These materials could play a catalytic and guiding role, and finally successfully mobilized the corresponding forces to complete the performance of a witchcraft.
The "wizard" performed many types of witchcraft, such as the "flame magic" that Odysseus had just experimented with, and the "ice magic".
Not only that, but also the "soul absorption magic" that can attract the undead, and the "light magic" that can attack the undead.
This does not mean that the extraordinary characteristics of the "wizard" are omnipotent, but because the extraordinary characteristics of the "wizard" can make different changes in the spirituality after Odysseus issued the "instructions" using the mystical symbols, thus forming different witchcraft.
In this regard, the "Secret Peer" path is slightly different from other paths. For example, "Pyromancy" and "Fireball" of "Hunter" path sequence 7 "Arsonist" both summon flames, but the internal mechanisms formed by the two are different.
"Pyromancy" is a related reaction of Beyonder characteristics, and it is an Beyonder ability formed under the catalysis and guidance of spiritual materials.
However, the "Fireball" of "Arsonist" is the Beyonder characteristics driven by Beyonder, directly twisting or changing ordinary spirituality into spirituality burning with flames.
It is equivalent to "Pyromancy" with an extra procedure, so whether in terms of power or controllability, it is not as good as "Fireball".
After Odysseus figured out all the principles, he felt that the potion was a little loose.
Unlike the potion of "Combat Scholar", after the promotion, the potion of "Wizard" did not show any signs of early digestion.
The loosening of the potion just now made Odysseus realize that the potion of "Wizard" also needs some research and mastering the corresponding knowledge before digestion.
The research direction should be "witchcraft" and mysticism, but if you "act", you can't just regard yourself as a researcher. Just
like playing the role of "combat scholar" before, the hearty fighting will only make the spirituality lively and provide a prerequisite for digesting the potion.
The potion of the "combat scholar" is completely digested by writing the "combat outline".
Since ancient times, "wizards" are also "half researchers", so the digestion of potions in this sequence still needs to start from the "knowledge" aspect.
Then, Odysseus went to feel his abilities in other aspects. He felt that his fighting ability was also strengthened. After all, the brain's reaction speed became faster, and the movements could be faster.
In the new knowledge that Odysseus obtained, in addition to being able to mix many spiritual materials used in witchcraft, he also learned many prescriptions. Compared with the prescriptions known by the "pharmacist", these prescriptions are more like some folk remedies, and the ingredients are all strange things.
The "eye of peeping" has undergone a qualitative change. In addition to being able to see a person's aura, it can also see how a person's luck is in the short term.
This "short term" is about three days. After the potion is completely digested, it may be about five days. It can only distinguish good luck from bad luck, and cannot make specific predictions.
Odysseus thought that the sequence 3 of his path was called "Master of Prophecy", which seemed to be related to "fate".
But he guessed that the level of "wizard" was not to have the ability related to fate to see a person's luck. It should be that the spirituality was further enhanced, and it could see the information overflowing from the spiritual world or the "River of Fate". This is like the "clown" in the "diviner" path, who can see the next scene one or two seconds in advance. It is an "additional ability" after the extraordinary ability becomes stronger.
For Odysseus, it is good to have a strong spirituality. He invented many magic circles before, but because of his weak spirituality at that time, he could not use them outside the "wilderness of knowledge".
Now, he can make a breakthrough in magic circles.
And after the spirituality is strong, the inspiration also becomes stronger.
For example, now Odysseus took a look at the folder with Viscount Vader's information. He recalled that Viscount Vader was a devout believer of the Lord of Storms. He often invited priests to his home to help exorcise evil spirits and preach. Even for some major investments, he would go to the church to pray devoutly for a whole day.
At first glance, Odysseus laughed at this guy for worshipping the wrong god. Worshiping "Eternal Sun", the "Guardian of Business" is better than worshiping "Lord of Storms".
But now Odysseus suddenly realized that this shows that Viscount Vader is a very superstitious person. He should not only be superstitious about the Orthodox Church, but also about other things.
Soon, a bold plan appeared in Odysseus' mind. If the plan succeeded, it would be enough to hold Viscount Wade back for a week!
Odysseus began to fill in the details of the plan step by step, and stood up to mix the corresponding spiritual powder.
If the plan succeeded, it would not only help Mike resolve the crisis, but also allow him to try to play the role of a "wizard"!
After making the corresponding preparations, Odysseus was somewhat excited when he thought of this plan.
He used "meditation" again to fall asleep.
But just after falling asleep, Odysseus found himself in the wilderness composed of illusory light again.
Today was only Monday, and he came to the "Knowledge Wilderness" again.
After arriving at the tower composed of light balls, he immediately understood what was going on.
It turned out that after Sequence 7, he could enter the "Knowledge Wilderness" freely. This time, as usual, he entered here through sleep.
Normally, he could enter through "meditation". After arriving at this tower, Odysseus had already mastered the way to enter here.
What remained unchanged was that he still needed to do a project a week and submit it to the tower.
When he went to search for information again, Odysseus was pleasantly surprised to find that he could find the magic circles that the giants, dragons, and elves had used.
Those magic circles were simple and ancient, yet contained great power.
Odysseus wandered in the ocean of knowledge, and almost forgot the time for a moment.
He had just been promoted today, so he needed more rest. He could only take a quick look and do research next time.
Odysseus took another quick look at the potion formulas that could be found, and he found that he could currently find the formulas of four paths.
In addition to the previous "Secret Peeper", "Generalist", and "Reader", he could now find the potion formulas of the "Thief" path.
However, the potion formulas that could be found were from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7.
Odysseus was somewhat puzzled. Why was it the "Thief" path?
Until he saw that the Sequence 7 of the path was called "Decryption Scholar", he roughly understood that the paths that could be found were all paths that had a certain relationship with knowledge.
Needless to say, the "Reader" was the core of the entire path, which was to learn and accumulate knowledge.
The "Decryption Scholar" requires a lot of knowledge to complete the decryption, so this path became the fourth path that Odysseus could find.
This phenomenon is quite similar to some of Adam's characteristics: the more a person knows Adam, the more Adam knows that person.
The knowledge in the "Knowledge Wilderness" should be the same: the more the extraordinary people of a certain path learn and study knowledge, the more knowledge knows the extraordinary people of that path.
Odysseus is a little looking forward to it. Which path will be the next path of love of learning?
After Odysseus was about to leave the "Knowledge Wilderness", he suddenly noticed that the light in the light ball that made up the tower seemed to become more substantial.
But soon Odysseus realized that it should be because the spirituality of his spirit body became stronger, so he could see more information.
The light seemed to contain infinite knowledge, but Odysseus could not analyze this knowledge yet.
Back in the real world, Odysseus used "meditation" to go to bed quickly.
The next morning, Odysseus heard Max knocking on the door outside in a daze: "Open the door quickly, I have something important to find you!" Chapter 113 The Watchful Eyes from the Gods
Odysseus suddenly woke up when he heard Max knocking on the door.
The captain of the "Mechanical Heart" rarely came to see Odysseus outside of work hours. Usually, he came at this time because he had something very important to tell him.
After Odysseus opened the door, he looked around the street vigilantly. There was no suspicious person, so he said to Max: "Come in and tell me."
After Max entered the house, he did not rush to tell his purpose, but looked at Odysseus carefully.
Odysseus also found that something was wrong with his good friend: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Max retracted his gaze: "I just saw in the newspaper last night that there will be a meeting of the Mystic Research Society today, so I came to tell you that we will no longer purchase the relics of Emperor Roselle for the time being."
Odysseus nodded, looked at Max, and waited for the "important thing" he said.
Max said, "I came to tell you this."
"Ah?" Odysseus thought he had misheard: "The knock on the door early in the morning is because of this?"
"What else?" Max smiled and said, "If you collect the relics of the Great Emperor again, the 'Mechanical Heart' will not reimburse you for the expenses. Do you think this is a big deal?"
After Max said this, Odysseus immediately thought, "This is indeed a big deal!"
"Okay, I worked a night shift yesterday and I have to go back to sleep." Max yawned, "Every time at this time, people always envy the 'Night Watchers', who only need to sleep two or three hours a day."
When leaving, Max took a deep look at Odysseus again. The church's top leaders once speculated that three years ago, an ancient and mysterious existence awakened in Odysseus' body!
For three years, Max had already regarded the man in front of him as Odysseus and put the top leaders' speculation behind him.
But the urgent telegram from the headquarters yesterday made him recall these things.
Is the man in front of him really just an ordinary person? Would an ordinary person be promoted twice in a month?
But soon, Max retracted his gaze and walked away quickly.
Watching Max's leaving figure, Odysseus always felt that something was wrong.
He brewed coffee for himself while thinking about Max's abnormality.
Soon, an amazing idea appeared in Odysseus's mind: The Church of the God of Steam and Machinery knows about my promotion!
But then, Odysseus felt that this did not seem surprising: after all, I might have been involved in a high-level case of "Secret Peepers" three years ago. It's only been three years, and the Church of Steam can't forget this. Odysseus
took a deep breath and suddenly found that the coffee had overflowed from the coffee cup and flowed all over the counter.
He quickly leaned over to take a sip, and then wiped the coffee clean with a rag.
Drinking coffee, Odysseus was somewhat desperate. The Church of Steam's attention to him did not diminish at all, or the God of Steam and Machinery still maintained a high level of attention to him.
After all, he was a god. Even if Odysseus left Backlund, he should be able to be found quickly.
Odysseus has always known that the God of Steam and Machinery should have noticed him, after all, the case that year was taken over by the "Mechanical Heart".
Moreover, it was impossible for the God of Steam and Machinery to be unaware of this, as it involved the source material.
So Odysseus had always made himself behave normally enough. He even prayed to the God of Steam and Machinery for power, so that the extraordinary weapons he developed would have a longer service life.
He did not dare to use the really advanced parts of the research he conducted in the "Wild Knowledge" in the real world.
On the whole, he was a young man with talent, who liked to study mysticism, and used his research to improve the traditional classic magic circle.
Odysseus knew that as long as he did not use the power of the "Wild Knowledge" in the real world, the God of Steam and Machinery would only continue to observe. Maybe he would get tired of it one day and would not pay attention to this ordinary person named Odysseus Gar.
But obviously, Odysseus's low profile did not dispel the attention of the God of Steam and Machinery. For a god, thirty years is just a blink of an eye, not to mention three years.
If this Odysseus really has a problem, what's the point of observing him for a lifetime? It's just a few decades.
If there is no problem, there is no loss.
But if Odysseus can really be used to find relevant information about the "Wild Knowledge", then the observations during this time will be profitable.
Of course, such observation should be like Bernadette's "invisible servant", just occasionally looking at him, not staring at Odysseus all day long. After all, there are more people and times that need a god's attention.
Odysseus guessed that the God of Steam and Machinery should have made a special mark on him. For example, if he was promoted or went to a special place, the God of Steam and Machinery would notice it.
Odysseus put the teacup on the counter, and an unprecedented sense of powerlessness crept into his heart.
That was a god, a high god.
Even if the God of Steam and Machinery did not pay attention to Odysseus personally, but only let the angels of the church, or even just a demigod pay attention to him, it was not a gaze that Odysseus could get rid of at present.
Odysseus put his hand on his forehead, then supported his head with one arm, and suddenly wondered whether he should change his plan, not leave Backlund, but join the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery? In
this way, although it would be difficult to escape the control of the God of Steam and Machinery, he could still pretend to be confused with the God of Steam and Machinery.
Anyway, before it is clearly shown that there is a connection with the "Wilderness of Knowledge", the God of Steam and Machinery will not break this window paper, let alone come down to talk to him. It would be better to pretend to be ignorant and use the Steam Church to continue to advance...
But it would be too uncomfortable to live like that!
Suddenly, Odysseus thought of the powerful magic circles used by the giants and dragons of the Second Age that he had seen in the "Wild Knowledge" just now!
He sat up straight: I can use the new knowledge to try to find a way to hide myself temporarily! The things at that time were a bit like the things of the "Maozi", simple and rough, but with a sense of "great strength to create miracles"!
Odysseus encouraged himself: What about the gods? I come from a place where I don't believe in gods! I usually burn incense to the gods and Buddhas in the sky and ask them to bless me with peace, but if they can't bless me, I still ignore them.
Of course, the gods and Buddhas at that time were different from the gods in this world. The gods in this world really exist.
However, this made Odysseus want to fight, instead of compromising with the gods immediately.
But he knew that this was not a problem that could be solved overnight. Meals had to be eaten one bite at a time, things had to be done one by one, and when it was time to eat breakfast, you still had to eat breakfast first.
...
West District, No. 25 Lily Street.
Miss Lisa's maid went out early with a basket, looking for places to buy breakfast, fresh vegetables and meat.
Miss Lisa is the mistress that Viscount Wade loves.
Last night, Miss Lisa's residence suddenly caught fire, and she moved to Lily Street overnight, without even notifying the chef.
So she couldn't make breakfast today, so she had to go out and buy some, and asked Mr. Viscount to make do with it.
At that time, Mr. Viscount left in a hurry, and the servants in the Viscount's mansion might not know where Viscount Wade was going, and there was no time to notify them to send breakfast here.
And sending someone to notify them would not be good, and the Viscountess might think this was a provocation from Miss Lisa.
When passing by a bakery, the maid smelled the fragrance of bread, so she went into the store and bought two loaves of white bread.
At the same time, she saw that they actually sold crispy croissants, which looked very delicate and delicious.
Of course, the maid knew that this was Mr. Viscount's favorite, so she bought some without hesitation.
After buying vegetables and meat elsewhere, the maid returned to the new residence and placed the breakfast on the dining table.
At about eight o'clock, Viscount Wade got up and went to the dining room with Miss Lisa.
The fifty-year-old Viscount was surprised to find his favorite crispy croissants on the dining table.
After asking the maid where she bought them from and letting his personal valet taste them, Viscount Wade took a bite without hesitation. The taste was not bad, and soon, a croissant was already in his stomach.
So for more than half an hour, the Viscount did not dare to leave the toilet at all.
After learning that he had eaten food that was drugged, he roared in the toilet and told the bodyguard to find the murderer.
The two bodyguards took the frightened maid downstairs to find Mr. Beavis and told him in detail about Viscount Wade's experience.
This Beavis was a Sequence 6, an extraordinary bodyguard hired by Viscount Wade at a high price.
Extraordinary people at this level are somewhat different from other bodyguards.
He can protect his employer from going to his mistress in the middle of the night, and he can also protect his employer from being intimate with his mistress, but don't think of asking him to stay outside all night.
Moreover, even a noble employer like Viscount Wade who has the "bloodline theory" dare not treat him as a servant.
This is also in the calculations of Odysseus and Mandy. Just moved to a new place, even the most refined nobles will either be hungry or have a hasty breakfast on the first day.
A noble like Viscount Wade would probably rather be hungry than eat outside.
But if there is his favorite crispy croissant, it will be different. He is likely to try one or two bites.
And the laxative prepared by Odysseus only needs to taste one bite.
In order to prevent the valet from exposing the problem of the laxative, these laxatives will not take effect until half an hour later. A hasty breakfast will not wait for half an hour, so the probability of success is very high.
When Mandy learned that Viscount Wade's bodyguard returned to the bakery with the maid, she knew that Mr. Gal's plan was successful.
As for the owner and the staff of the bakery, they had already been sent out of Backlund. Mr. Beavis only knew that they had moved away in a hurry, and there was no hope of finding any clues., Chapter 114: Lelouch is offered a reward of 3,600 pounds
. Viscount Vader's bodyguard Beavis is not good at investigating extraordinary cases. After the clues are broken, he can only go back to report to the Viscount.
At this time, Viscount Vader, who was already exhausted, sent someone to notify the "Substituted Punishers" team and asked them to find the murderer.
Conant, a senior deacon of the "Substituted Punishers" team, was so angry that he almost cursed when he learned that Viscount Vader asked the "Substituted Punishers" to investigate who gave him a laxative.
He kicked a table in the bar away with one foot, and then he felt a little relieved.
At this time, Conant was in the Passion Bar, leading the team to investigate the case of "Lelouch".
However, for the sake of caution, Conant still asked his subordinates to do divination, and the result was: it was not Lelouch or his accomplices who gave Viscount Vader a laxative.
Mr. Gal's subordinates are certainly not Lelouch's accomplices.
Conant thought that the viscount had offended someone at some point, and the other party took the opportunity to retaliate, so he didn't take it too seriously, but just asked the police to investigate seriously.
At this time, he was in charge of Lelouch's case,
and this case put a lot of pressure on him. The chief of the police station even came to him personally last night and asked him to capture Lelouch alive during the arrest process. Because the City Hall and the Backlund Police Department are now facing huge pressure. If Lelouch dies at this time, whether he died in his arrest or not, it will make the situation more difficult to control, and it is even likely to lead to political events such as demonstrations.
What the police chief didn't know was that when Conant found the Passion Bar, the clues were basically broken.
Lelouch's agent Simon was missing, and several gangsters around him got the news that Simon was dead, so they started to fight for the Passion Bar yesterday.
Several of Simon's capable subordinates also died in the gang fight. The remaining bartenders and others did not provide any valuable clues, and they didn't even know how Simon and Lelouch knew each other.
Now there are only three clues left. One clue is how the surrounding gangs learned that Simon was dead?
In order to avoid the police investigation, Simon had not appeared for a few days, and the surrounding gangsters were ready to make a move. But the night before yesterday, they clearly received the news that Simon was dead.
As for the person who spread the news, some gang leaders said it was a mysterious man with a hat covering part of his face, and some said it was a man with a beard on his face. In short, the other person's face could not be seen clearly.
This clue is not without results. When investigating the surrounding gangs last night, a fugitive was caught.
During the arrest, the Beyonder of the "Substitute Punisher" used his Beyonder ability, so last night, a thunderclap appeared abnormally above Backlund.
However, this harvest is of no help in finding Lelouch!
Another clue is the address where Lelouch committed the crime last time, No. 176 Riverbend Avenue.
They contacted the landlord of the house, but they were disappointed again. The landlord actually signed a rental contract with the other party using letters.
The rent was higher than the market price, but the condition was that the landlord could not check the house during the rental period and promised to pay a deposit of 100 pounds. If the house was damaged, the loss could be deducted from the deposit.
Such a large deposit made the landlord very tempted, so he agreed to these conditions.
For more than two years, the landlord had also seen the house that Lelouch rented outside the door and found that it seemed that no one lived there, but because the rent had always been very timely and there was a deposit of 100 pounds, which was equivalent to three years of rent, the landlord followed the agreement and did not make a deep investigation.
As a result, now the house has caught fire, and I don't know if the 100-pound deposit is enough to redecorate it? The key is that someone died, and it will be difficult to rent it out again in the short term.
The members of the "Substitute Punisher" team, of course, would not care about the landlord's distress. After taking a few letters, they planned to use these letters to conduct an investigation.
But soon they found that these letters, whether envelopes or letter paper, were things that could be bought in ordinary stationery stores.
And the mailing locations of the letters were all over the post offices in Backlund, and there was no clue at all.
The third clue was Simon's family. After much inquiry, it was learned that Simon's wife and daughter were staying at a relative's house.
But when the "Substitute Punisher" went there, he found that the mother and daughter were picked up on the day of the Lelouch case.
The three people who came to pick up the mother and daughter also covered their faces in different ways. The relative knew that Simon was running a shady gray industry, so after the three people showed Simon's ancestral pocket watch, they did not ask to see their faces.
The only valuable clue that the "Substitute Punisher" got from here was a portrait of a rented carriage, but the rented carriages in Backlund were similar. According to the license plate number, it was confirmed that it was a rented carriage with a forged license plate number.
When Viscount Vader sent someone to ask for help, Conant was worried about the clues of the case and had no energy to investigate who gave the Viscount a laxative!
Judging from the rental records, it was hard for him to imagine that someone had secretly planned to eliminate Backlund's fighting arena for more than two years!
Is it really for the sake of justice and other illusory things that Lelouch was supported to complete such a long-term conspiracy?
Thinking of this, Conant felt that he could start from the family of the victim and perhaps find some clues.
In addition, Lelouch's anti-detection ability is too strong! He actually cut off all the clues.
Finally, Conant asked the bartender and others in the Passion Bar without any hope: "Has anything special happened in the Passion Bar recently?"
Several people squatting on the ground who were guarded by the "Substitute Punisher" team enthusiastically provided clues, but what they said was nothing worthy of attention.
Until one of Simon's subordinates said: "A few weeks ago, someone won three games in a row in the fighting field."
Conant thought it was another useless clue when he heard that it was a few weeks ago, but he thought again: won three games in a row? Lelouch has been winning all the time. So he asked again: "What's the name of that man?"
"I don't know."
"Where did Simon find him?"
"I don't know."
"After the game, did Simon still contact him?"
"I don't know."
"I..." Conant slowly put down his raised palm.
In the end, the "Manufactured Punisher" used extraordinary means to obtain a portrait of a young man. Conant was stunned. Isn't this Odysseus Gar?
...
When Odysseus went to Simon's underground fighting arena, he had not yet considered destroying the Backlund Extraordinary Fighting Arena.
So he inevitably left some traces, but with the protection of the "Wild Knowledge", the official Extraordinary's divination could not use those traces to find him.
Even if he found him, he could completely use the identity of the "Mechanical Heart" informant to prevent the "Manufactured Punisher" from arresting him. Without the Extraordinary power to interrogate him, Odysseus was not afraid of the official Extraordinary's inquiries.
Because he had forged the alibi in advance.
At this time, Odysseus was not most concerned about this matter. He did not know whether the "Mechanical Heart" would strengthen its surveillance on him again. The only thing he could do now was to continue doing what he had to do and not show any abnormality.
Odysseus was quite familiar with this lifestyle. After all, he had been closely monitored by the "Mechanical Heart" for more than a year.
This morning, a meeting of the Mystic Research Society was to be held. As usual, Odysseus took a rented carriage to 77 Hilton Avenue.
Here, he changed into the "leader" costume and used the "teleportation array" in the basement to come to 199 Hairun Avenue.
After coming out of the basement, he sat in the "leader" position and watched the members enter one by one.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Odysseus said, "Let's start."
Before the transaction of intelligence, four members again bought the potion formula from Odysseus, which made him earn 920 pounds at the beginning of the party.
At the same time, as Odysseus expected, members such as "Peacock" and "Wolverine" also began to sell the potion formula, but at this time only two members had not bought the potion formula, and they were obviously more interested in the potion formula from Odysseus.
Soon, someone else started to buy the main material used in the potion formula, but there were not many extraordinary transactions in this gathering before. Now suddenly so many people wanted to buy extraordinary materials, and no one had these things in hand, so only one transaction was reached at once.
After the extraordinary transaction was over, everyone started to trade intelligence or issue tasks.
"Hound" first said: "A high reward is offered for information about Lelouch's whereabouts!"
The female member "Peacock" asked: "How high is the high price you are talking about?"
"Someone offered a reward of 200 pounds for information about Lelouch's whereabouts, and offered a high price of 2,000 pounds for Lelouch's head." "Hound" replied:
"In addition to the reward of that gentleman, the police station will also pay a considerable reward. If you can kill Lelouch, you can get a total reward of 3,600!"
This reward made several members whisper a few words. The reward was indeed very high, but they didn't know what sequence Lelouch was, so they didn't dare to respond.
Odysseus thought to himself: Oh, Viscount Vader is only willing to pay 2,000 pounds after his son died? And the official Beyonder is only willing to offer a reward of 1,600 pounds? Who are they looking
down on? "You don't even know where Lelouch is, do you?" "Peacock" said with a smile: "Such a high reward just shows that this task is very difficult."
"Hound" did not answer "Peacock"'s question, but added: "In addition, no matter what clues you provide about Lelouch, you can get a reward of 30 to 100 pounds."
The whole living room was silent for two seconds. The final reward of "Hound" almost means that they currently have no clues about Lelouch!
"Wolverine" sighed: "A Beyonder set a fire in Backlund, where many strong people gathered, and the official Beyonder couldn't find any clues about the other party!
"This... This is a great feat! "
It is worth learning for them, the Aurora Society.
" "Leader" Odysseus nodded and agreed with him.
The other members had also read about Lelouch in the newspapers, but the newspapers mainly reported Bishop's crimes and did not describe Lelouch much. But everyone who had read the reports knew that Lelouch must be a Beyonder!
In their imagination, this Lelouch had already been captured by the official Beyonders and imprisoned in a special prison.
Unexpectedly, the official Beyonders did not have any clues about him?
The member who attended the meeting, "Giraffe", asked the question that everyone wanted to know: "What is Lelouch's Sequence?"
"Hound" took a deep breath: "Sequence 8."
Many members took a breath, especially those members with Sequence 8: They are both Sequence 8, why is the gap so big? Chapter 115: The qualities of an ace
intelligence agent. The members of the Occult Research Society originally thought that Lelouch was at least a Sequence 6, or at least a Sequence 7.
A place like the fighting arena should be guarded by a Sequence 6, and it was on King's Road. After setting the fire, there was no way to escape without some magical abilities or magical items.
But no one expected that it was only a Sequence 8!
Several members of the Sequence 8 felt that they had no such ability at all, and even doubted the accuracy of the information provided by "Hound".
"Hound" knew what the people around him were thinking by looking at their eyes. To be honest, when he first heard the news, he was also skeptical.
But after understanding the specific situation, he realized that the extraordinary fighting arena had loopholes in the procedures and the venue. First of all, the venue was too large, and one or two Sequence 6s could not guard it at all.
But the royal family and the great nobles could not send troops or station extraordinary forces in entertainment venues like the fighting arena, so the extraordinary guards at the fighting arena were not very sufficient.
In addition, the Sequence 6 was always at the command post. It took more than half a minute after Bishop was killed for the Sequence 6 to react.
Later, Lelouch started to set fire, which caused chaos among the nobles, and almost made the guards lose their organizational ability. The Sequence 6 could not find out the location of Lelouch. It
was not until the arrival of the "Substituted Punisher" that order was restored.
It can be said that the response of the extraordinary guards was difficult to be satisfactory.
As for the reason, it is also very simple. Since the construction of the fighting arena, no similar incidents have ever occurred. Even if the guards had plans for such incidents before, they had long been abandoned due to lack of sufficient drills.
Lelouch must have learned a lot about this, so he could use these loopholes to complete the assassination.
The "Hound" admired this assassin very much, but his job was to catch this assassin: "The news that Lelouch is a Sequence 8 is absolutely accurate!
"He is good at using an extraordinary weapon in the shape of a javelin, and can also make a special incendiary bomb, which caught the guards of the fighting arena off guard, so he escaped. "
He certainly wouldn't elaborate on the specific process of how Lelouch completed the assassination.
In addition, according to the description of the witnesses, Lelouch should have used a magical item with the ability to "travel" to leave, something the "Hound" didn't intend to reveal to everyone right now, because it would be almost impossible to catch Lelouch, and no one would be willing to take on such a commission.
At this time, the fat "elephant" laughed and said, "This reminds me of a proverb said by Emperor Roselle, who was riding a horse but looking for a horse.
"Being able to make extraordinary weapons, this is an important clue, right? When did the official extraordinary people become as stupid as those politicians? Otherwise, hire me to be your consultant... No, even a pig would have thought of this."
Everyone smiled. After all, there were only a few official extraordinary people present, and wild extraordinary people and members of secret organizations were all willing to watch such excitement.
The Hound said coldly, "I won't bother you. I'm afraid you'll eat us too much and bankrupt us."
Without waiting for the Elephant to speak, the Hound continued, "It's impossible for a Sequence 8 to create extraordinary weapons. We investigated the source of those weapons, but no extraordinary weapons with similar appearance have appeared in Backlund.
"We have preliminarily determined that these weapons were not made in Backlund."
Odysseus had to thank the poisonous "Fat Pharmacist" for letting him know an investigation direction of the official Beyonders.
This is why he is very cautious in selling extraordinary weapons. After similar incidents, the official Beyonders will not immediately suspect him.
Otherwise, just selling extraordinary weapons would not make less money than the Nanmu Ballroom.
Of course, the "Chief" has also used some powerful extraordinary weapons. If someone asks, he will say that they are weapons obtained from the God of Steam and Machinery.
The scene fell into a brief silence. After a few seconds, the "Lion" Byron said, "Everyone, I will not accept such a commission. Those nobles don't treat us as human beings.
"Besides, the scandals that noble did are enough to sentence him to death."
"Hound" said seriously: "I seriously suspect that you have some connection with Lelouch!"
Odysseus thought: You are right.
"You can investigate me and follow me." Byron smiled: "Waste your manpower, maybe you can help Lelouch out of danger."
"Elephant" smiled: "I guess Lelouch has already run away, do you still need to help him out of danger? Besides, even if you accept this commission, you can't find Lelouch."
Facing the sarcasm of "Elephant", Byron was not angry at all: "You are right."
Seeing that "Lion" did not refute himself, "Elephant" felt that he had no interest.
Next, no one commented on this commission, so everyone started other commissions and transactions.
One of the commissions caught Odysseus's attention. It was a task issued by member "Wild Wolf", recruiting two stalkers, requiring people who are very good at observation and can draw portraits.
When a member asked where to work, "Wild Wolf" replied that it was on Pacefield Street.
The Church of Saint Musel of the Goddess of Night is on that street. It is not only the largest church of the Church of the Goddess of Night in Backlund, but also the most important church of the Church of the Goddess of Night besides the Amanda Mountains.
First of all, ordinary extraordinary criminals dare not hide in this street. After all, the headquarters of the "Nightwatchers" of the Backlund Diocese is also set up there. Many members of the "Nightwatchers" team come in and out every day. Maybe one day they will recognize the extraordinary criminals hiding there. So who is "Wild Wolf" going to follow? Someone who lives on that street? Ordinary people really need professional people to follow them?
Odysseus keenly realized that this commission was unusual, so he asked: "'Wild Wolf', I want to make a deal with you."
"Wild Wolf" immediately said in a serious manner: "You tell me."
"Who are you going to follow?" Odysseus paused and said: "Name a price."
According to convention, "Wild Wolf", as a member who issues commissions, can not publish the details of the commission, but the reward for the commission he issues must be consistent with the efforts of the commissioner, otherwise no one will be willing to accept his commission.
"No need to make a price." "Wild Wolf" said helplessly: "I don't know who the specific target is.
"This is a very well-paid task I received. Although the content of the commission is very strange, the employer paid the money very happily, so I didn't ask more questions.
"Yesterday, my employer asked me to recruit two more people to complete this task together, so I posted the commission at the party."
Odysseus frowned, which made him pay more attention to this matter: "Then let's trade, tell me the content of your commission."
"Wild Wolf" nodded: "Okay, 10 pounds!"
Seeing that the "leader" was so concerned about this matter, everyone began to pay attention to their conversation.
However, the subsequent transaction was not made public. It was obvious that the employer of "Wild Wolf" required the specific commission to be kept confidential.
Odysseus took out 10 pounds in cash and handed it to the waiter. While the waiter gave the cash to "Wild Wolf", he also handed him a writing board.
"Wild Wolf" wrote quickly on the paper on the writing board. Two or three minutes later, the content he wrote was handed to Odysseus by the waiter.
Odysseus looked at the somewhat scribbled handwriting: There are three commissions in total. The first is to observe pedestrians equipped with gun bags on the street, and those who often appear on this street need to draw portraits; the second is to observe pedestrians with very deep pupils, and those who often appear on the street need to draw portraits; the third is to observe whether there are pedestrians with particularly pale faces, and if such pedestrians are equipped with gun bags, they need to draw portraits.
After seeing the content of the commission, Odysseus immediately made a judgment: someone is investigating the members of the "Night Watchers" team!
In Backlund, if you want to carry a gun, you need a gun license, so there are not many pedestrians with gun bags. The key is that most people on that street go to church to pray, and generally do not carry guns.
People with gun bags are likely to be "low-sequence" members of the "Night Watchers" team.
As for the deep pupils, it is the change that the pupils of the Beyonder will undergo after taking the "Darkness" path potion.
And those with particularly pale faces and guns are likely to be "low-sequence" Beyonders of the "Corpse Collector" path.
If you don't have enough Beyonder knowledge or insights, you really don't know your specific observation target.
Especially for wild extraordinary people like "Wild Wolf", they don't know that they are actually monitoring "Night Watchers".
Even if "Wild Wolf" is discovered and captured by "Night Watchers", the publisher of the task will not expose himself.
However, Odysseus still said to "Wild Wolf": "I want to trade the information of the publisher of the task with you."
The "leader"'s questioning made "Wild Wolf" realize that the commission he received seemed very unusual. He smiled bitterly and said: "The other party has been wearing a veil, and his appearance cannot be seen clearly.
"And his voice is obviously concealed, I am afraid I can't provide you with effective clues."
Odysseus thought: It is true.
He said: "Give me a portrait of him, and describe your impression of him."
"No problem." "Wild Wolf" said: "The reward is, please tell me if this commission is very risky? Or what should I pay attention to?"
Odysseus said: "Deal."
Four or five minutes later, he got the portrait with a veil covering the face, as well as the relevant description, and then said to "Wild Wolf": "According to my judgment, if a wild extraordinary person accepts this task, there will be great risks. "
After observing them for a day or two, the Nighthawks may not notice them, but if they are observed for a long time, they will definitely attract the attention of the Nighthawks.
The fate of wild Beyonders being noticed by official Beyonders is likely to be captured to experiment with the abilities or negative effects of the Sealed Objects.
After hearing what the "Chief" said, "Wild Wolf" decided not to continue with this commission today, and several other members who were originally interested in this commission also kept silent.
At this time, member "Giraffe" said: "'Chief', I received two more pages of Emperor Roselle's notes, which are absolutely authentic." Chapter 116 New Roselle Diary
When Odysseus heard that someone was trying to sell him the "Rossel Notes" again, he was going to refuse it outright. After all, the "Mechanical Heart" no longer reimbursed him for the cost of the "Rossel Relics".
But then he thought of the Roselle Diary he had read before, and that this guy was quite capable, so he decided to buy the diary and take a look.
Odysseus said, "The person who bought Roselle's relics is not in a hurry anymore, so the price he offered is not as high as before.
"15 pounds for two pages, are you willing to accept it?"
The main thing is that he can't get reimbursement anymore, he has to pay for it himself, so of course he has to bargain when it's time.
The "Giraffe", whose neck is slightly longer than that of ordinary people, said, "Okay. "
The price offered by the "leader" is acceptable, at least there is profit to be made.
Odysseus took the two pages of the diary and glanced at them. It was indeed a genuine article. Because he was afraid of being suspected of being able to understand the mysterious symbols on the "notes", he did not look at it carefully. He took out his wallet again and was about to pay.
At this time, the "Giraffe" said again: "I have another relic of Emperor Rodel here." As he
spoke, he took out a small black metal box with a Chinese character "secret" written on it.
"Giraffe" continued to introduce: "But there is no way to open the box. I once asked a professional for help. The other party said that there is a very clever mechanism in the box. If it is forced open, it may destroy the things inside. "
While introducing, he handed the metal box to the waiter.
Odysseus smiled helplessly. It would be funny if after opening it, there was a copy of "Sunflower Manual" or a story with the protagonists named Wukong and Bajie.
He took the box from the waiter and immediately felt the coolness from the box. The box was only the size of a palm, but it was heavier than expected, as if it was solid.
Odysseus's inspiration immediately felt that the things in the box were very valuable, but how valuable they were, he was not yet a "Master of Prophecy", so he did not know where they were valuable.
If he had not been promoted yet and was only a "combat scholar", his inspiration would not even be able to make a judgment on whether they were valuable.
After a little thought, Odysseus felt that his current financial situation was okay, so he could buy it first and go back to study it slowly.
So he offered a price: "50 pounds."
"Giraffe" smiled bitterly: "It seems that the person who acquired the relics of Emperor Roselle is really not very concerned about it.
"Okay, 50 pounds is 50 pounds, but after you open the box, you have to tell me what's inside."
Odysseus nodded: "No problem, but you also have to tell me where you got this box from?"
"An Intis person sold it to me." "Giraffe" said: "Many Intis people and Feysac people come to Backlund to sell antiques.
"I didn't ask how they got it, but it was probably stolen or dug out from a tomb.
"But considering the age, the probability of stealing is a little higher."
Odysseus said "hmm", counted out six 10-pound notes and one 5-pound note from his wallet, handed them to the waiter, and completed the antique transaction.
The intelligence transaction at the party continued, and Odysseus still listened carefully. About half an hour later, another piece of information caught his attention: the night before yesterday, someone saw a star river flowing on the street.
However, other people were not interested in the information about this very strange phenomenon. No one was trading for it, so Odysseus had no way to listen in. He had to initiate a transaction again: "Tell me more about it, or write it down."
Member "Cheetah" said: "Then I'll tell you in detail, 15 pounds."
Odysseus nodded: "Okay."
Because the so-called "galaxy flow" is very similar to the ability of "Astrologer" of Sequence 5 of the "Secret Peeper".
Odysseus sent out a letter last Wednesday and asked Alia to pick it up, but almost a week has passed and the other party has not come yet.
And Bernadette seemed to be very busy. He wondered if the "Mysterious Queen" had any secret actions recently?
"Cheetah" said: "It was late last Saturday night. Many people on Rice Street in the South Bridge District saw that the galaxy in the sky seemed to have fallen to the ground.
"The street with street lights was suddenly starry, giving people a very unreal feeling.
"The starlight lasted for more than ten seconds in total. After the starlight disappeared, grains of bright star sand appeared on the street, but when people went to pick it up, the star sand turned into normal sand again.
"The most peculiar thing was that the left leg of a homeless man seemed to be 'assimilated' by the galaxy. The whole leg turned into a transparent crystal, sparkling with bright starlight.
"It was not until half an hour later that his leg was completely restored."
"Cheetah" paused and said, "In addition, it is said that there were voices in the starlight. Some people heard that someone seemed to say that they wanted to stop something from coming, and someone else said that they wanted to use some team or some faction.
"But because those words were intermittent, no one heard exactly what was said."
Finally, he concluded, "I think it should have been an extraordinary battle of a very high level."
At this time, "Elephant" laughed and said, "Could it be using apple pie?"
His sarcasm made many people laugh. "Elephant" then said, "This little thing is worth 15 pounds?"
"Cheetah" blushed and was about to argue with "Elephant", but Odysseus raised his hand and said, "The value of intelligence depends on where it is used."
"Elephant" wanted to say, "It's not worth 15 pounds no matter where it is used", but considering that it was the "leader" who came out to smooth things over, he didn't say anything else.
Odysseus looked at the "Elephant" who was not convinced, smiled slightly and said to himself: Don't be unconvinced, that so-called "faction" is either the "Witch Cult" or the "Rose School" or the "Life School", maybe you will be involved.
He remembered that the "Fat Pharmacist" was a member of the "Life School".
Through the description of "Cheetah", Odysseus could basically conclude that it should be an extraordinary battle involving "Astrologers".
A Sequence 5 extraordinary ability is a very magical phenomenon in the eyes of ordinary people, or extraordinary people who lack relevant knowledge.
Odysseus counted out 15 pounds in cash and completed the transaction with "Cheetah".
In the subsequent gatherings, no intelligence caught his attention.
Around half past ten, Odysseus announced the end of the party.
He went to 77 Hilton Avenue through the "teleportation array" in the basement, changed out of his "leader" clothes, and took a rented carriage to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute.
In the carriage, Odysseus took out the two pages of the diary and started reading. After being promoted to a demigod
on October 17
, all my previous abilities have undergone a qualitative change, and I have gained some power that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
I noticed that the source of these powers comes from "divinity"!
Although Sequence 4 only has a little divinity, it is this little bit of divinity that makes me feel that I have undergone certain changes from the inside out.
This change is hard to explain. If I have to say it, I feel that I am a little bit like a human being.
This is by no means scolding myself. I used to hear members of the "Mechanical Heart" say that Beyonders are monsters in human skin, and I thought this description was a bit exaggerated. Now I think this may be their personal experience.
Even if the state is very good, after having divinity, some changes will occur in oneself.
For example, the delicate part of emotions makes people feel a little strange. It's not that I don't have the ability to feel emotions, but I'm a little unfamiliar with certain emotions, as if that's not the emotion I should have.
These changes made me have to think about a question, what exactly is "divinity"?
After possessing divinity, I can obviously mobilize more extraordinary power, and it is obviously different from the extraordinary characteristics in my body. If I have to give a metaphor, then it is more like a catalyst, causing extraordinary abilities to change to a certain extent, breaking away from the normal law of change.
Yes, it is the normal law.
At Sequence 5, although the extraordinary characteristics have various magical effects, after understanding the relevant knowledge of the extraordinary world, the spirit world, the underworld, and the star world, these extraordinary abilities can still be figured out.
In other words, those abilities are still within the reality and extraordinary laws of this world, but the extraordinary abilities after possessing divinity seem to break through these laws! Become more magical and more weird.
As a person who has received nine years of compulsory education and has also attended university, my thinking and logic find it difficult to accept this cognitive gap.
I must figure out what divinity is!
Seeing this, Odysseus slowly nodded: Sure enough, the emperor also thought of this.
He also had some thoughts on this, and believed that the emergence of divinity allowed spirituality and extraordinary characteristics to catalyze something else.
Looking down, the following lines were about Roselle's experience of having an affair with a noble lady.
Odysseus twitched his lips: Great Emperor, is this how you study "divinity"?
Then he looked at another page of the diary, which was connected to the content of the previous page.
"Continued from the last time", Roselle was still using a lot of space to talk about the excitement brought by having an affair with the noble lady.
This made Odysseus smile. He didn't expect that Roselle, who was a demigod, still liked to do this. Intis was really messy.
In the last few lines of this page of the diary, there was another very valuable diary.
October 26th
This time I attended the occult gathering, and I got an astonishing news that some members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" had become believers of an evil god!
But what is puzzling is that it is said that the "Hidden Sage" seemed to know about this, but did not care about it.
I asked the member who provided this information: "Which evil god have they become followers of?"
The member replied: "The Unextinguished Whispering."
How come I have never heard of such an evil god?
...
Odysseus was dazed for a while looking at this diary. He vaguely felt that he had heard of "The Unextinguished Whispering", but he just forgot where he heard it.
Soon, the warning from his own inspiration made him realize that it was not that he had a bad memory, but that he did not remember the name and the meaning of the name. It was the protection of the "Wild Knowledge" for himself.
