Chapter 41 The Limit of Sin
The information mentioned in the occult research meeting initiated by the "leader" was somewhat beyond Xio's expectations, and even made her feel unfamiliar with Backlund.
"I want to issue a task." The "hound" quickly browsed the information provided by the "leader" and then paid 50 pounds for the information, and then said: "Help me investigate who this person had contact with before he died."
After that, he took out a portrait and unfolded it: "I will provide detailed information about this person and some of the people he had contact with before he died. As long as you find a contact person who is not in the information, 10 pounds each, no upper limit.
"Well, it must be someone who has been in contact within three months. "
Odysseus saw that it was a portrait of the deceased informant of "The Mandated Punisher".
This was the third time he had come into contact with this person. The first time was when Enoch reported that someone was looking for this informant.
The second time was on the night of the black boxing match. He saw the real person during the match, but soon the real person turned into a corpse lying on the ground.
This was the third time he had seen this face.
Odysseus knew very well that this person died at the hands of the Royal Guards. This should involve nobles and even some secrets of the royal family. He should not provoke them if he could.
Then he thought again: I wonder if the Royal Guards and MI9 have cooperated in the assassination of this informant? Now the "hounds" from MI9 are checking who this informant had contacted before his death. It seems that after killing the other party, they did not get a satisfactory result.
At this time, Xio raised her hand: "I can try to take this task."
If there is detailed information, the commission of 10 pounds is very generous.
She thinks she can take a look at the information first, maybe she can come across some clues.
"Is the newcomer very active?" "Hound" smiled and said, "Who else is willing to take this task? I brought three files in total."
Soon, two other members also took up the task. The credit of "Hound" has always been very good, and the commission for this task is indeed quite generous.
After the release of the task of "Hound", "Lion" Byron, who was a little taciturn today, suddenly said: "There is new progress in my previous commission.
"After I squatted in the East District for about a week, I found that someone was secretly kidnapping homeless people. I followed the group and finally found that they locked everyone in a warehouse in the dock area.
"There, I saw Kapin."
The other members were slightly stunned. One of them said indignantly: "This doesn't seem to be surprising. This bastard will be punished sooner or later!"
Several other members also condemned Kapin one after another. Even in Backlund's extraordinary world, this guy has a bad reputation.
"Leader" Odysseus interrupted everyone's condemnation and asked "Lion": "Do you seem to want to continue investigating?"
"Yes!" "Lion" said in a very firm tone: "I want to get more evidence and then hand it over to reporters to expose the atrocities of this villain!
"You may not know that the fate of those homeless people in that warehouse is very miserable. They are sorted like livestock, and those who are weak and sick will be thrown into the deep water of the Tussock River.
"Everyone of them has a stone tied to their body, and no one can float up again..."
Hugh suddenly interrupted the "Lion": "Wait a minute, you mean that everyone of them has a stone tied to their body?"
"Yes, it's cruel, isn't it?"
"Don't you find the problem here?" Hugh first asked back, and then asked himself and answered: "If they don't meet Kapin's requirements, those weak homeless people should be driven away.
"Why tie stones to them?"
At this time, most members understood that it was too troublesome to do so. In the eyes of these human traffickers, perhaps a homeless person is not as valuable as the rope used to tie the stones.
The Lion also understood: "He... they are trying to silence the witnesses."
After a few seconds of silence in the living room, the Hound suddenly reminded: "I have heard of Kapin. He has a strong background. I suggest not to investigate further."
He has done his best to remind them.
The Lion looked at the Leader opposite him: "What suggestions do you have?" Odysseus said, "Obviously, you don't intend to listen to our advice."
The "Lion" was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "I... I just..."
He took a deep breath and said, "I have never thought that I am a good person, and I have seen too many dark things in Backlund.
"But this time, I feel that what Kapin did has exceeded my limit.
"It is hard to imagine that hundreds of lives were sunk into the cold water like that. They struggled and cried.
"But they were too weak, and even their cries could not reach the shore."
The living room was quiet for another second or two, and then Odysseus said, "If you are in danger, you can come to me, and I will try to save your life."
Counting it up, Kapin seems to be about to get a box lunch, so it doesn't matter if this "grasshopper after autumn" is stepped on.
The "Lion" stood up and said, "Thank you, thank you, I knew you wouldn't ignore it. "
"Hound" and "Peacock" both shook their heads, seeming to be puzzled by the "Lion's" behavior.
Xio took a deep look at the "Chief", then at the "Lion". Byron's determination was beyond her expectations, and the "Chief's" promise was also beyond her expectations.
This was not something that would happen at an extraordinary gathering.
"Elephant" suddenly said, "If something happens to the 'Chief', will the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery send someone else to host the gathering?"
"Peacock" looked at him, "If you don't speak, will you die?"
"Elephant" explained, "I simply have this question. After all, this gathering is pretty good. At least I feel relieved to attend it."
Odysseus smiled and said, "Maybe they will send someone else."
The topic ended here, and the intelligence transaction soon resumed. After several transactions were successfully completed, a member said, "Everyone, there is something that I don't understand. Why do some strange things happen after the death of an extraordinary person?"
Someone then asked, "Did you kill an extraordinary person?"
"I didn't kill him. "The member did not elaborate.
At this time, member "Wild Wolf" said: "To be honest, I have similar doubts."
The doubts about this issue can immediately show which are wild extraordinary people and which are organized extraordinary people.
People like "Hound", "Peacock", "Wolverine", "Elephant" and others obviously do not have similar doubts.
"This information is very advanced." Odysseus said: "But it is not impossible to trade. I can explain some of the principles. The total price is 500 pounds. This information is worth the price. "
Oh~"
No one expected that the price of this information would be so expensive!
But fortunately, the "leader" said the "total price", which is a unique trading method of the Mystic Research Society. As long as the buyers participating in the transaction have gathered the total price, the transaction can be carried out.
For example, if the total price is 500 pounds and there are ten people participating in the transaction, each person needs to pay 50 pounds.
This amount of money is within an acceptable range.
Although Xio knew the concept of extraordinary characteristics, she did not know the specific principles, so she also participated in this transaction, and for this she paid 26 pounds and 7 soli with great pain.
But the moment she got the answer, she was immediately relieved. She saw that the information given by the "leader" said: That is called extraordinary characteristics, which may be the most expensive thing on an extraordinary person.
Extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed or reduced, but will only be transferred from one carrier to another... Chapter 42 Five Pages of Roselle's Diary
In the information Odysseus gave everyone, he explained in detail what extraordinary characteristics are, and mentioned a little knowledge of the law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics and the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics.
This made Xio immediately feel that her money was well spent. This was very advanced information at a glance, and here, it could be sold for more than 20 pounds.
In fact, what she didn't know was that her good friend Fors had just learned this information at the Tarot Club, and was currently racking her brains to think about how to tell her naturally.
In the living room, the members who received the information were silent for a while, because they immediately realized one thing: Extraordinary people are walking gold pounds.
According to the information given by the "leader", Extraordinary characteristics are expensive and can even replace the main materials of potions. So even if there is no hatred between two Extraordinary people, as long as one of them is eyeing the other's Extraordinary characteristics, it is very likely that a desperate fight will begin.
Then, they became wary of the people around them, but they thought that this party was still relatively reliable, so they were slightly relieved.
Soon they became suspicious of several Extraordinary people they usually interacted with, but then they breathed a sigh of relief, because there were only a limited number of people who knew this knowledge.
They got this knowledge first, which was equivalent to having a great initiative.
While this transaction was going on, other intelligence transactions were also going on.
One piece of intelligence caught Odysse's attention. Blair, a wealthy businessman in Backlund, issued a task with a high commission: on the night of the full moon, take the carriage he provided and wander around Backlund.
It is said that the wealthy businessman wanted to do an experiment on a whim to see if there is a higher chance of encountering ghosts during the full moon.
This task can only be taken by extraordinary people. Many members expressed disappointment. They originally wanted to make this money.
This looks like a wealthy businessman squandering his money to study some ridiculous things.
But Odysseus, who has rich intelligence work, immediately realized that this matter was a bit unusual, and further guessed that it might be related to the "Rose School".
First of all, the specific condition of "full moon" makes people think of "werewolf" and "vampire".
But Odysseus thought that Sharon and Klein had just had a conflict with the "Indulgence Faction" of the "Rose School". Sharon and Maric must have been hiding recently. Perhaps only during the full moon can we find clues about them.
After all, there is only one "Crimson Moon Corona", either Sharon or Maric. During the full moon, one of them will be very weak, which may cause some strange phenomena to happen around them.
Odysseus did not show his concern about this matter, but he had decided in his heart that he would go directly to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute and tell Max this information and his conjecture.
After trading for more than half an hour, everyone's information was traded and exchanged.
At the last stage of the party, "Giraffe" said that he had received some "Emperor Roselle's Notes" and wanted to sell them to the "leader".
Odysseus picked up the notebook and sorted it out. There were 18 pages in one notebook, and the paper looked a little yellow. He took out 9 of them: "The symbols on these pages are similar to the notebooks displayed at the memorial exhibition. They are fakes."
He collected "Emperor Roselle's "relics", so he didn't want the copied things.
Then he sorted out 4 more pages: "There are problems with the paper of these four pages, they are also fakes."
In fact, the sentences are not coherent, and it is obvious that they are forged.
"Giraffe" sighed: "I didn't expect that you also have unique vision and insights in antiques."
Odysseus smiled and said: "I want these five pages, 10 pounds per page."
This is indeed a good price. Generally speaking, a page of handwritten "Roselle Notes" can be sold for one or two pounds. If it is a genuine one, the price is between 5 pounds and 8 pounds. But in order to show that he was buying at a high price, Odysseus gave more. Anyway, he was not spending his own money.
Later, someone brought Roselle's "relics" to trade with Odysseus. Odysseus was not engaged in the antique business, so of course he could not distinguish whether it was genuine or not.
He had to use divination to determine. In the stage of "Secret Peer", the results obtained by Odysseus using "astrolabe divination" were about the same level as "diviners".
But it was limited to "astrolabe divination". Unless there was the help of rituals, the results of other types of divination were much worse than those of "diviners".
After Odysseus was promoted to "Fighting Scholar", his divination ability improved slightly.
To be precise, it was not the divination ability that improved, but the spirituality became stronger, so the divination results were slightly more accurate than before.
The divination results of too complicated divinations were still very vague, but it was still possible to distinguish the authenticity.
From many "relics", Odysseus only spent 80 pounds to purchase a fountain pen that Emperor Roselle had used.
This is a fountain pen with an Intis-style engraving on the cap. I didn't expect that it could still be used after more than a hundred years.
After confirming that there were no more genuine products, Odysseus announced that the party was over.
He returned to the basement of 77 Hilton Avenue in the south of Green Park.
He took off his mask and cloak and turned back into Odysseus, the owner of the herbal medicine store.
This time, Odysseus simply took a rented carriage and went to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute.
In the carriage, he took out the five pages of the diary and started reading:
May 12
Today, I discussed with Bishop Van Esteen what the "Generalist" path actually represents. After the discussion, I found that this was of great help to my role.
Each path seems to have a core meaning. No matter which sequence the role is, it seems that it cannot be too far away from this core meaning.
For example, in the "Generalist" path I am in, the "Generalist" has enhanced his ability to learn, understand and practice, and can recall all the knowledge-related things he has read before.
Sequence 8 "Archaeologist" is also using his knowledge to get the conclusion of things.
Later, although the professions involved were different, the qualitative changes brought to me by the potion seemed to strengthen my learning and use of knowledge, especially the use of knowledge. This made my "hands-on ability" extremely strong, which was the biggest difference from the "Reader".
What about other paths? Do they also have such a core meaning? For example, the core meaning of the "Secret Peeper" path is "knowledge itself", so all roles cannot be separated from the concept of "knowledge"?
What about the "Hunter" path? Can't be separated from the "iron tough guy"? Hahaha, this reminds me of Florent, the idiot.
After reading this page of the diary, Odysseus roughly remembered that Florent was a member of the Sauron family who mastered the "Hunter" path.
One of his ancestors was suspected to have been a woman, and after reaching Sequence 4, she became a "iron-blooded real man". Roselle wanted to make fun of this nobleman several times.
Then Odysseus nodded slowly: Roselle, this guy, also occasionally thinks about some more profound things.
For example, this page of the diary reminds Odysseus that even if he is a "combat scholar", he should not deviate from the core meaning of "knowledge" when acting. Chapter 43: Russell's Thought Experiment
Although Odysseus had some ideas about how to play the role of a "combat scholar", he always felt that he had not thought of the key to the problem.
Russell's reminder made him suddenly realize that the core of the role play cannot be separated from "knowledge itself".
When he was fighting in the black boxing before, Odysseus felt that fighting with others was at best a role play, and his magic potion had no signs of digestion.
Now he finally understood that fighting is just accumulating practical experience, and the core of the role play is to think about the knowledge that can be obtained from fighting.
As for what knowledge can be obtained, Odysseus instantly thought of things like boxing manuals.
He thought about it carefully. Although there are many fighting schools in this extraordinary world, those schools basically only have something like a "general outline", and there are no books on systematic explanations of fighting.
Odysseus feels that he can try to write a book of this kind, but at the same time, he must also focus on actual combat. The experience and cases gained in actual combat, as well as the thinking about fighting, should be the true meaning of playing the role of a "combat scholar".
Thinking of this, he continued to browse and turned to the second page of the diary. This page was an analysis of the former royal family of Intis, the Sauron family.
It can be seen that when Roselle wrote this diary, he was already preparing to overthrow the royal family.
This analysis is quite interesting, but it is outdated, because the Sauron family has long been weak. According to some information that Odysseus accidentally obtained, this family seems to have no angels.
At least not on the surface. Even if there are hidden angels, it is estimated that the situation is not much better.
The content on the third page is not interesting. It is the process of Roselle's "invention" of the flush toilet not long after he came here.
The content of the fourth page once again attracted Odysseus's attention:
June 11th
Today I participated in the secret gathering of the ancient organization again. I heard one of the members talking about mystical symbols, which I found quite interesting.
That member believed that mystical symbols should have more powerful power, and the magic circle should not be just a decoration.
He gave an example. He found a broken magic circle in an elf "relic" he accidentally obtained.
The mystical symbols used by the elves are completely different from the current universal symbols. This member copied the magic circle, and even in the case of incompleteness, there was an electric current in the magic circle.
He guessed that a complete magic circle should emit a lightning.
This is very interesting. If it is a complete magic circle, can I use it to replace the generator?
But there is a fatal problem. It is necessary to constantly inject spirituality into the magic circle.
Haha, a group of extraordinary people inject spirituality into the magic circle to generate electricity. I might as well ask a "sea singer" to discharge electricity directly.
However, after hearing my request, the "sea singer" will most likely strike me with a lightning.
At the party, the member just lamented that it was difficult to complete the magic circle of the elves, and immediately other members expressed different opinions.
Two of the members' speeches were very wonderful and hit the point.
One said: This is a world dominated by extraordinary characteristics.
One said: The magic circle is very inconvenient to carry and can only be used in a fixed position.
Yes, one problem is that any extraordinary ability in this world is inseparable from extraordinary characteristics and spirituality. Especially for extraordinary characteristics, some advanced arrays require extraordinary power intervention to show their powerful extraordinary abilities.
As for the inconvenience of carrying, it is another fatal flaw. Instead of studying such a hopeless array, it is better to directly find the "Scroll Professor" to buy a few scrolls.
After reading this diary, Odysseus couldn't help but sigh: This world is not short of smart people! More than a hundred years ago, some people had already noticed the wider role of the array, but the writing of this era limited their research.
Thinking of this, Odysseus smiled knowingly. The reason why he has already done very profound research in this area is because he has an advantage that the extraordinary scholars in this world do not have: knowing a hieroglyph.
After coming to this world and studying for a period of time, Odysseus found that the mystical symbols in this world are like the evolution of hieroglyphs.
After doing some research in this direction, he found that it was indeed the case: the mystical symbols are a special kind of hieroglyphs.
The civilizations of the northern and southern continents should have used hieroglyphs, but probably in the Second Epoch, alphabetic writing became the mainstream, and hieroglyphs disappeared in the long river of history.
The evolution and research of mystical symbols stopped at that time, so Odysseus tried to further deduce mystical symbols, and it really had a better effect.
This process is a bit like using simplified Chinese characters to deduce oracle bone inscriptions or bronze inscriptions. Although the process is very difficult, it is always traceable for Odysseus.
Odysseus read the contents of the diary again: According to legend, the elves came from the Western Continent, and the Western Continent should have inherited hieroglyphics, so the magic array used by the elves should be different from the magic arrays of the North and South Continents, and it is likely to be more effective.
He suddenly thought that he could try to check the "Knowledge Wilderness" to see if he could find some words and magic arrays of the elves.
Continue reading, the fifth page is not interesting. It is Roselle's evaluation of the figures of the two noble ladies, and the process of getting to know them and communicating deeply with them.
It can't be said to be boring, but it can be read as a novel with ambiguous plots.
Putting away the diary, Odysseus plans to hand over these five pages of the diary to the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery in a while to reimburse the money for buying the diary.
Then, when the Tarot Club comes, I will hand it in again... or I can hand it in twice, as a thank you for the help provided by Mr. Fool before.
Now Odysseus has an excellent memory, and he will not forget it as long as he reads it once, so there is no need to copy it for a copy.
More than 20 minutes later, the carriage arrived at the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute. Odysseus found Max and explained his conjecture about the suspicious rich businessman Blair to him in an undisturbed reception room.
Of course, names like Sharon would not appear in his conjecture. He only said that Max had told him before that there had been a battle in the "Rose School" recently in an abandoned West Balam dock, which made him have such a conjecture.
Although Odysseus repeatedly explained that this was just a conjecture based on his feelings, Max attached great importance to it, because Odysseus's feelings had helped them to disrupt the actions of the evil secret organization many times.
Then, Odysseus reported that one of the members was investigating Kapin's affairs.
Max was about to report this information to his superiors, but he found that Odysseus did not leave immediately, so he asked: "Do you have anything else to add?"
Odysseus said: "I also received a few "relics" from Emperor Roselle."
Max understood: "Reimburse the expenses." Chapter 44 Extraordinary Fighting
It cost Odysseus 130 pounds to purchase Roselle's "relics".
However, when he asked for reimbursement, he said that he spent 151 pounds, in addition to the 20 pounds of "handling fees", there was also 1 pound for hiring a horse-drawn carriage.
Of course, hiring a horse-drawn carriage would definitely cost less than 1 pound.
After successfully getting the money, Odysseus took the horse-drawn carriage back to the herbal medicine store generously.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he found that there were two uninvited guests in the herbal medicine store: Simon, the owner of the underground fighting arena, and Gers, the manager.
The clerk Kena came up and said, "Sir, these two have been waiting for more than an hour."
Odysseus nodded, "I know."
He sat opposite Simon: "Didn't I tell you? I have no interest in your cooperation."
Simon still smiled with a bad face and said, "Last time I told you that I knew some relatively secret information, it seems that you didn't take it seriously.
"Then let me be more specific. I heard that the people in the church like to catch people like you who have magical powers. "
Odysseus said coldly: "Do you want me to give you a map of Backlund and tell you how to get to the three cathedrals of the church?
" "If you have decent channels, you will know that I am not afraid of your threats at all."
Simon was slightly stunned. He obviously did not expect Odysseus to say that. While judging whether the herbal shop owner in front of him was lying, he said: "The nobles also need some more exciting entertainment. They are in Queens..."
"There is a special fighting arena at 155 King's Avenue in Queens, right?" Odysseus sneered: "Compare intelligence with me?
"I also know that your real name is not Simon, but Diers. You have a daughter who is fostered by distant relatives at 349 Hillland Avenue in St. George District.
"Because you are afraid that your enemies will come to you, you dare not bring it with you."
Simon opened his mouth wide, with an incredible look on his face: "First... sir, I don't mean anything else."
Odysseus took out his pipe: "Everyone has weaknesses, right?"
Simon immediately stood up: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. We will leave now. Please... please don't be angry."
Odysseus pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit down."
Simon had to sit down obediently.
Odysseus lit the pipe, took a puff and said: "I can go to play a few games, but we are not cooperating, but you have to serve me.
"After each game, I will pay you one-tenth of the reward. In addition to the game, you have to deal with other trivial matters.
"Also, forge an identity document for me. I don't want to participate in the fight there with my real identity."
The fighting arena at No. 155 King's Avenue is more precisely an extraordinary fighting arena.
The nobles of Loen look cautious, elegant, and graceful on the surface, but in fact they also have a sinister, obscene, extravagant, and violent side.
The fighting arena has always existed in Backlund, but in modern times, this kind of fighting arena has moved underground and gradually disappeared from the public's view.
However, the nobles still like to watch life-and-death competitions, among which the extraordinary fighting is the most popular among the nobles. Odysseus heard that the price of just one ticket is as high as 100 pounds.
After being promoted to "Fighting Scholar", Odysseus wanted to go there to play a few games and hone his actual combat ability.
Before the promotion, Odysseus knew that his combat power was about the same as that of a goose, and he tried not to fight with others. Even if he did, he had the "Flame Arrow" and the scepter on him, and ordinary low-sequence extraordinary people were not his opponents.
If he accidentally provoked a "medium-sequence" extraordinary person, he would simply go to the "Mechanical Heart" for help. Of course, this has never happened in the past three years. But it was different after becoming a "combat scholar". He needed to fight more with others to hone his abilities in actual combat.
He had long wanted to go to the fighting arena to try his skills. Not only could he train himself, but he could also make money.
As for the fact that he was performing for the nobles, Odysseus had no psychological burden in this regard.
It was just that he had always lacked a reasonable channel to enter the underground fighting arena in Queens. He didn't want to associate the matter of going to the fighting arena with "Mr. Gal" and "the leader".
Unexpectedly, Simon brought a good opportunity. When Simon proposed cooperation in the underground fighting arena in the bar, Odysseus planned to use this channel to go to the fighting arena in Queens.
But of course he would not be manipulated by a small person like Simon. At the same time, he knew very well that Simon would never give up. Today's meeting was inevitable, so Odysseus made some preparations in advance and took the initiative in this matter.
Simon was very happy to hear that there was a turn for the better: "No problem!"
Even if it was one-tenth, it would be a considerable income.
As the owner of the underground fighting arena in the bar, he seemed to be very prosperous. When there were competitions, he could earn several hundred pounds a night. However, this kind of gray income required a backer, otherwise there would be constant trouble.
A large part of the income had to be given to Simon by his backer.
He could put the income from serving Odysse into his own pocket, and he also had the opportunity to meet some upper-class people in Backlund.
Simon promised to report the progress of the matter tomorrow, and then said goodbye to Odysse politely.
Odysse looked at his pocket watch and said to Kena, "Let's go to the backyard. Today I will teach you how to deal with the leg bones of the mutant flamingo."
Dealing with those leg bones does not require much skill, and Kena can do it.
...
South Bridge District, No. 22 Tutwa Street.
When Hugh Dilcha returned to her residence, to her surprise, Fors had already gotten up and was sitting at the desk writing furiously.
"Xiu, you're back." Fors looked up and asked with a smile: "What's new at that mysterious party?"
"It was a very strange party." Xiu hung his coat on the hanger and asked casually: "Are you going to finish the manuscript today?"
The smile on Fors' face disappeared immediately: "Yes, the manuscript has to be submitted tomorrow, and I have only written the beginning."
Xiu nodded slowly. She knew that this was the case, otherwise Fors would not have gotten up so early.
"Now hearing some strange news can heal my anxious heart." Fors turned around with the chair and faced Xiu: "Tell me quickly, what magical things happened at that party?"
"It's not magical." Xiu sat opposite Fors with a strong desire to talk: "The convener of the party actually promised to protect Byron..."
She briefly described Byron's investigation and the conversation between Byron and the "leader".
This is a very strange place. They have participated in so many extraordinary parties, and no initiator of any extraordinary party would make such a promise.
"He must have justice in his heart!" Fors commented. Chapter 45: "Mechanical Heart" Attacks
Xio talked about other things she had seen at the party. When she said that the murderer of the "serial murder case" was a Beyonder, Fors was very surprised: "Extraordinary creature?"
"When I heard the news, I was as surprised as you." Xio smiled.
Fors smiled unnaturally. In fact, she had heard some information about the murderer of the "serial murder case" at the Tarot Club. She knew that it was a Beyonder of the "Devil" path, but she didn't know that it was an Beyonder.
"Oh, by the way, I also got a very advanced intelligence." Xio said like offering a treasure: "It cost me more than 20 pounds..."
When she learned that the advanced intelligence was the concept of "Extraordinary Characteristics", Fors said perfunctorily: "Wow, so amazing."
"Ahem~" She cleared her throat and said: "After you said that, I also got a high-level intelligence at a party..."
At this time, her heart was shouting: Don't waste this kind of money anymore. Just explaining some theories of Beyonder Characteristics costs 500 pounds. In the Tarot Club, "Acting Method" is only 200 pounds!
...
West District, Green Park North Street.
The nobleman named Blair lives here. Ikanser Bernard, the butler of the "Mechanical Heart" and the captain of Backlund, personally led a team to visit the rich man as a police officer.
Three carriages entered the gate of this luxurious villa. Everything seemed normal here. The gardeners were taking care of the garden, and the bodyguards were patrolling everywhere with their dogs.
When they arrived in front of the villa, Ikanser and his team met the owner of the villa. He looked a little thin and seemed to have not slept well.
When Ikanser got off the carriage, Blair came up to shake hands, but the captain suddenly shouted: "Fire!"
The door of the second carriage suddenly opened, revealing a thigh-thick gun barrel inside, which was engraved with dense and strange patterns.
This carriage was obviously modified, and this strange small cannon was fixed inside. Then the carriage opened in four directions, with a shooting angle of almost 180 degrees.
Two members of the "Mechanical Heart" operated the small cannon and had already prepared for firing.
When Ikanser gave the order, the barrel of the gun quickly lit up, causing the strange pattern to change color.
A golden fireball flew out of the barrel and hit a window.
Boom~
After the violent explosion, the sound of ghosts and wolves howling came from the room.
The extraordinary battle broke out instantly!
While the extraordinary cannon was bombarding, Ikanser took out a flintlock rifle that looked somewhat classical.
Bang~
He fired a shot at Blair in front of him, firing a blazing white bullet.
Blair's face suddenly became ferocious, and more than a dozen thin arrows like ice crystals appeared in front of him, but the bullet passed through these thin arrows. Just when Blair was about to be hit, he suddenly seemed to lose consciousness and fainted on the ground.
Ikanser suddenly waved his hand, and the bullet suddenly changed direction and flew towards a piece of glass not far away.
There was hiding the "ghost" that had just left Blair's body.
The "ghost" used "mirror jump" again to avoid the advanced purification bullet that had a restraining effect on him. Ikanser put away his gun, put on his gloves again, stared at the "ghost", and threw a punch. Although he was far away from the enemy, he hit the "ghost" in the chin and knocked him out of the mirror and into the real world!
The "ghost" was hit by the punch and the corner of his mouth was bleeding. While he continued to dodge the bullets, he let out a "scream" at Ikanser, but the captain seemed to have a layer of illusory light similar to the stars around him, blocking the enemy's extraordinary attack.
On the other side, after the explosion just now, the servants, gardeners and bodyguards in the yard and the villa, and even the vicious dogs, all rushed towards the carriage of the "Mechanical Heart" with their teeth bared.
They were all zombies and had long lost their lives.
Max, the captain of the "Mechanical Heart" team, jumped off the carriage. He held a long and heavy strange gun in his hands, and a dark golden bullet chain was inserted into it.
Da da da~
Max pulled the trigger and injected spirituality at the same time. This extraordinary weapon was instantly activated. A round of purification bullets swept the zombies to the ground.
He glanced at Ikanser. Under the attack of the deacon's own ability and the abilities of several sealed objects, the "ghost" was already injured. It was only a matter of time to kill him.
The other team members could not help much in the battle of Sequence 5, so under the leadership of Max, his team carried the extraordinary cannon on the carriage and attacked the villa from the front, while another team went around to the back door.
As soon as they entered the villa, they saw several injured enemies running away. The extraordinary cannon and extraordinary machine gun opened fire again, and a round of volleys knocked them all down.
At this time, another team that had already gone around the backyard had also fought with the enemy.
Max did not go to support the backyard, but led the team to search the first floor.
First came to the room that was bombed by the first purification shell. There were two "werewolves" and a "zombie" here.
One of the two werewolves was dead and the other was seriously injured, both lying on the ground.
Even the zombies couldn't handle the purifying shells, and they were seriously injured. The purifying effect weakened them. He was stuffing his intestines into his stomach while looking for an opportunity to escape, just in time to meet Max and others who were coming to shoot him.
Without further ado, Max pulled the trigger again.
The zombie's eyes showed a trace of fear, and he dodged to the side at the fastest speed. At the same time, under his command, the dead "werewolf" suddenly stood up and blocked him in front of him, blocking the fatal gunshot.
While the "werewolf", who had not yet completely turned into a zombie, was shot in two, the zombie, who was shot twice, broke through the wall and fled to the back door.
Max led the team to chase him immediately, but just as they chased him into the hall, the spirituality of the "Mechanical Heart" members immediately had a premonition of danger.
Before they could make any response, the huge area of luxurious carpet in the hall suddenly stood up, blocking the sight of Max and others.
Then all the team members felt their collars getting tighter, as if the clothes they were wearing were strangling them. At the same time, they found that their sleeves were getting tighter, and they tried to reach out and pull open their collars but failed.
The fear of unknown forces immediately swept everyone's mind, and these well-trained team members all showed a little panic.
Max remained calm. He knew that the person who controlled everything was around, so he pulled the trigger with his fingers that could still move, but found that the trigger was like welded and could not be pulled!
Then he realized that a powerful enemy was attacking, and he could control inanimate objects. Chapter 46: Remarks on the Bookshelf
Thank you for your support and love, which have made this book a very good success.
First of all, let me talk about the updates after the bookshelf. Tomorrow, there will definitely be four updates. Usually, there will be 6,000 words as the base, and there will be additional updates.
Because it will be released at midnight, tomorrow's update will be at around 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the update time the day after tomorrow will be changed back to the morning.
In August, it should be possible to update about 200,000 words, and there will be more in September. Based on the author's experience with the previous books, before 300,000 or 400,000 words, basically a lot of foreshadowing must be completed, so only 6,000 to 7,000
words will be written every day. After 300,000 or 400,000 words, most of the foreshadowing will be completed, and it should be no problem to write 8,000 words every day. After September, it should be possible to write more. The previous book was updated with about 270,000 to 280,000 words a month at most, and this book should also be able to reach that number of words.
Then let's discuss the plot issues. This book was originally inspired by the protagonist's encounter with the "wilderness of knowledge" in the previous book.
At that time, the author had such a doubt: What is the medium for the transmission of extraordinary abilities?
For example, a certain extraordinary person uses extraordinary power to attack another extraordinary person 15 meters away, and the distance between them is 15 meters. Why can one extraordinary person attack another extraordinary person?
Of course, this question is a bit of a dead end. After all, many things in "Lord of Mysteries" are more idealistic. If there must be a theory to support it, there will be no sense of mystery.
But the author thought that this could be used to provide the protagonist with a very unique cheat code, and this cheat code is at least more sincere than the system.
So I continued to think along this line of thought. Some readers should have noticed that the author had written science fiction novels before, so he thought of combining spirituality with the theory of many basic particles.
After that, a model was formed: everyone has a self-circulating spiritual field in their body. The magic potion can make this spiritual field more powerful and distorted. Once the good self-circulation is lost, the spiritual field will be blocked or chaotic, corresponding to the precursor to loss of control and complete loss of control.
Let's go back to the previous question. When an extraordinary person uses extraordinary power to attack another extraordinary person 15 meters away, the extraordinary attack is transmitted and distorted through the spirituality outside the human body and attacks the opponent. This is a simple model. The real model is more complicated. For example, we need to consider uniqueness, the relationship between extraordinary characteristics and spirituality, etc. It is very boring to say it all at once. The author will explain it here first, and will gradually use the protagonist's three years of research to explain it in the plot in the future.
Yes, the protagonist has completely mastered this theory. Do you remember the model that Bernadette saw when she went to the protagonist's house for dinner? The protagonist has even developed chariots and warships that are driven by spirituality and provide weapon energy. Of course, this will have to wait until the second part of the book to be shown.
The plot line of the first part is probably along the original work. The protagonist will play an important role in the smog incident and will work for the goddess for free.
By the way, I just mentioned the problem that the protagonist has not been promoted for three years. The author really didn't expect that this would be a slot in this book.
The author knows that his ability is limited. It is normal for some readers not to like it. After all, there are people who complain about the original work.
Finally, let's talk about the issue of QQ group. After the listing, the author will announce the group number. At present, as long as the fan value is greater than or equal to 1, you can join the group.
Finally, and most importantly, I want to ask for a first order. People who often read books on Qidian should know that first order is very important for a book, which is directly related to the recommendation and prospects of the book in the future.
The author bows again to thank everyone for their support and recognition. It is your support that makes the author more confident when telling stories. What the author can give back to everyone is to update as much as possible and ensure the quality.
Thank you for your company and love. Chapter 47 Combat Outline
Fortunately, the power of this powerful enemy disappeared quickly, the carpet fell to the ground again, the tables and chairs were motionless, and the clothes were no longer tight.
The members of the "Mechanical Heart" team seemed to have been strangled by the throat just now, and now they can finally breathe smoothly, so they gasped for breath.
At this time, the "zombie" who was seriously injured just now has escaped.
Max and others immediately chased to the backyard and found that the team that had just made a detour was blocked by the flowers, plants and trees in the yard. Although two enemies were eliminated, some of them escaped.
At this time, Ikanser also chased after them, and he was relieved when he saw that no one was killed: "The enemy is stronger than we thought!"
He knew very well that it was the demigod of the "Rose School" who took action just now: "Fortunately, we came very suddenly, and they fled in panic."
Otherwise, just one demigod would be enough to wipe them out. Fortunately, the demigod had some concerns and did not fight to the end, but just covered his subordinates to escape.
Almost all members of the "Mechanical Heart" were injured, all of them were hit by tables and chairs, or stabbed by plants, but the injuries were not serious.
The uninjured members began to search the entire villa. Most of the people here were dead, especially the women, most of whom were cruelly tortured to death.
After a rough search, Ikanser and Max smoked while watching the busy doctors and subordinates.
Ikanser stroked his messy brown hair: "This time, we have to give Odysseus more bonuses, otherwise even if everyone here is dead, we may not find any abnormalities."
Max first sighed: "The 'indulgent faction' of the 'Rose School' is still as cruel and bloodthirsty as ever."
Then he said: "Odysseus expressed before that he hopes to obtain the magic potion formula of the 'wizard'."
Ikanser was stunned: "Try to persuade him to choose other rewards. The voice of the evil god will become more obvious at the level of the 'wizard', and he will become a huge unstable factor." Max
stamped out the cigarette butt: "I will try my best to persuade him."
...
In a dilapidated apartment in the southern part of the bridge.
The escaped members of the "Rose School" indulgence faction, while treating their own wounds, cursed the group of official extraordinary people.
In another room, the pale "Ghost", who looked like a living person, stood obediently in the center of the room.
Suddenly, it was as if a hand grabbed his heart, causing him to kneel on the ground with a face full of pain.
An illusory figure appeared on the glass of the window, and at the same time a cold voice came: "Idiot, it's only been a few days, and you've been exposed!"
"Ghost" hurriedly explained: "We... We have been very careful."
"Then how did the official extraordinary people get the news?"
"Ghost" was also aggrieved, he didn't know!
...
On Sunday morning, the parts of the "Flame Arrow" ordered from the foundry were delivered.
These parts have been polished and polished, and they can be used after brushing carefully.
After brushing and drying, Odysseus taught Kena to carve on the parts with the mutant flamingo leg bones.
This carving process is skillful. Mixing the juice of dragon tongue grass with the blood of mutant flamingos will make the metal soften in a short time.
Although it only takes three seconds to soften, it is enough to complete the carving of the flamingo leg bone, which is much more fragile than metal.
Odysseus first used a white pen to draw the carving patterns on each part, and then after a demonstration, he handed this repetitive work to Kena.
It will take at least three or four days to complete the carving work.
When it was almost noon, Simon came again: "Sir, I have good news. We can go to the King's Avenue tonight to compete. "This is your first time participating in the competition. If you win, you can get 260 pounds, and if you lose, you can get 150 pounds."
Odysseus nodded slowly: "Are there any rules?"
Simon immediately said: "Complete the competition at the designated venue and use a cold weapon.
"When one party faints or suffers an injury that affects combat effectiveness and has to end the competition, the other party wins.
"If you withdraw from the competition without reason, you won't get a penny."
Odysseus laughed: "In other words, at least you have to see blood before the competition can end."
Simon stood there honestly. If Odysseus didn't know his background, he could have asked with a mocking expression: "Do you think the money of noble gentlemen is so easy to make?"
But he didn't dare to say that at this time, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Odysseus asked again: "When are you going?" "
I'll pick you up at six o'clock in the evening."
Odysseus nodded: "Okay."
There was nothing to do the whole afternoon. Odysseus originally planned to go to the Fighting Club again, but thinking of the extraordinary fight that would take place in the evening, he still had to try his best to maintain his physical strength.
So he spent the whole afternoon thinking about how to write the book about fighting.
First, Odysseus planned to write Bajiquan into the book, as his own style.
Of course, it certainly couldn't be called Bajiquan. He had already thought about it and could lie that it was a lost fighting style that was obtained from an antique.
He wanted to continue to lie that this style originated from Emperor Roselle, but then he thought that Bernadette might ask about it. Finally, he thought about it and decided to blur the source of Bajiquan to be safer.
If this book was accidentally seen by Klein and he came to him, he would recognize it with his fellow countryman according to the situation, or continue to play dumb and say it came from an antique of the elves.
Odysseus wrote down his thoughts on paper, and after an afternoon, he had a general idea of the book.
He planned to name the book "Outline of Fighting". First, there should be a summary and ideological outline of fighting, and then introduce Bajiquan and several more common styles, and then add a lot of cases to describe the techniques of using fighting techniques in actual combat.
About 100,000 words would be enough, and then we would contact the publisher.
At around five in the afternoon, Odysseus had dinner early and asked Kena to come to the store.
At almost six o'clock, Simon came to pick up Odysseus in a rented carriage.
After getting in the car, Odysseus said, "Let's go to No. 75 Hailin Avenue first."
"Okay." Simon knocked on the carriage and loudly reported the address to the driver.
After returning home, Odysseus first changed into a clean and neat knight's uniform, and then went to the basement.
The basement was full of extraordinary weapons that he had used for experiments or made. These weapons included metal crossbows, large axes and small axes, shields, and rifles. The most common ones were swords and small axes with various functions.
In the end, Odysseus chose a sword and a cane. He wrapped up the swords, carried the cane and walked out of the basement, and took a half-face mask from the study.
Usually, Odysseus didn't like to bring a cane when he went out, and he felt awkward to bring a cane today.
I got back on the carriage and drove for more than half an hour before arriving at 155 King's Avenue. Chapter 48 Extraordinary Fighting Competition
From the outside, No. 155 King's Avenue seems to be a noble mansion with several large buildings. Those large buildings are actually buildings similar to indoor stadiums. Simon
entered the door with a pass in hand, and under the guidance of a cavalryman, he came to a three- or four-story building.
This is the side door of the building. There are noble carriages coming from the direction of the two main doors.
They greeted each other and entered the stand area together.
Simon got off the car to negotiate. Soon he asked Odysseus to get off the car and entered the tall building under the guidance of the waiter. As
soon as you enter the door, there is a room the size of a living room. There are seats against the wall on the left and right sides, and two empty weapon racks in the front.
A man in his forties dressed as a butler came up and said, "Gentlemen, welcome to you. May I ask which gentleman is the contestant?"
Simon immediately stepped aside, highlighting Odysseus wearing a mask.
"I believe you already know the rules." The man dressed as a butler said, "This is a game where cold weapons can be used. Of course, for the sake of the viewing experience of the game, please use weapons after the first bell rings, otherwise it will be regarded as giving up the game without reason.
"If you are confident, you can also not use weapons from beginning to end."
Simon was slightly stunned. He didn't know this rule before.
"Okay." Odysseus said without much care.
The man dressed as a butler stretched out his hand: "Please show your weapon."
Odysseus took out the sword and temporarily handed the cane to Simon.
The other party checked it and returned the weapon after seeing that there was no problem: "The game will start in more than ten minutes, please be ready."
Odysseus nodded and sat in the corner waiting.
Simon smiled and followed the man dressed as a butler and asked him about the details of the game.
A few minutes later, Simon came back and said, "Sir, after entering that door, there will be a venue simulating a street, and your opponent will enter from another direction.
"After the encounter, you have to fight for five to ten minutes before the bell rings and you can use your weapons."
Odysseus smiled, but suddenly talked about an irrelevant topic: "If I had such a big house, I would definitely transform it into a super laboratory."
Simon was stunned, not knowing how to respond.
Odysseus did not continue this topic and waited for the game to start.
After a few minutes, the middle-aged man who looked like a butler appeared again: "The game is about to start, please follow me."
Odysseus stood up, put his sword on his back, and came to the entrance. The middle-
aged man looked at his pocket watch and opened the iron gate at the specified time.
Odysseus walked through the iron gate and saw the scattered houses that were only about two meters apart.
This place is about the size of a football field, simulating a scene of a not very long street, but these houses have no roofs to avoid hindering the nobles from watching the game.
The stands are high up, with bright lights there. From below, you can't see the nobles above, but from above, you can see the ground at a glance.
At the other end of the street, Odysseus saw his opponent, a young man in his twenties, carrying a knife on his back, rushing towards him.
Odysseus smiled slightly, but seemed to ignore the approach of his opponent, and jumped to the top of the wall to observe the surrounding environment. It's not that he looked down on his opponent. On the contrary, he took his opponent very seriously. However, since it was his first time to come to such a place, he planned to take the time to observe the environment while his opponent was rushing over.
These roofless houses were roughly divided into two rows by the street in the middle, but there were alleys between the houses, which led to all directions without a dead end.
After seeing Odysseus's reaction, the young man, who was his opponent, probably understood his intention, so the young man quickly rushed towards Odysseus and jumped to the top of the wall nimbly. It only took a few seconds for him to appear in front of Odysseus with great momentum.
The momentum brought by the charge made the young man throw a punch with great force.
Odysseus' favorite Bajiquan and Taijiquan were both best at dealing with such fierce attacks. He stretched out his hand to relieve the force, blocked the opponent's attack, and then suddenly leaned forward and knocked the young man into the house.
This move made many nobles and wealthy people in the stands shout "Oh~", with joy and excitement in their tone. This was a fighting style they had never seen before.
The young man who fell into the house rolled on the ground and stood up immediately without any injuries.
He had rich experience in fighting and realized that the top of the wall was very narrow, and his opponent seemed to be good at close combat. It would be disadvantageous for him to fight on the top of the wall
. So the young man grabbed a chair next to him and smashed it at Odysseus as a weapon.
The rules said that weapons could be used after the bell rang, but chairs were furniture and could not be counted as weapons.
In these simulated rooms, there were furniture such as tables, chairs, and bed cabinets. This was obviously designed to improve the viewing experience of the game.
Odysseus nimbly dodged the attack of the chair, saw the opportunity, and jumped onto the bed in the house.
The young man swung the chair to hit him again, and Odysseus was quick-witted and grabbed a chair leg. With the opponent's strength, he pulled it hard. The young man had no time to let go, took a step forward, and sent his chest to Odysseus.
Odysseus was creating this opportunity and kicked the young man out with one foot. The opponent hit the wall with a "thump", and the whole wall was obviously shaken.
At this time, warm applause broke out from the stands. In the second round, Odysseus was very impressive in both his response and reaction speed.
The young man stroked his chest and took a breath, then stood up again, rushed out of the door and fled to the street.
He was obviously also an extraordinary person. He was kicked hard by Odysseus and could still run.
The young man's reaction was not to run away, but to avoid the enemy and recover from his injuries.
Odysseus certainly would not miss this opportunity and immediately chased him, but he soon found that although he was agile enough, he did not know the skills of running. The young man circled left and right, and Odysseus, who was chasing him, could not hit him.
After more than ten seconds, the young man felt that the pain was not so severe, so he squatted suddenly and stretched his legs to sweep towards Odysseus.
Odysseus repeated the same trick, dodging the opponent's attack, then rushed forward and hit the young man in the face with his knee.
The young man was shocked and hurriedly raised his hand to block.
Boom!
The young man was knocked out. Although he used his hand to block Odysseus' knee, how could the power of his hand be as strong as that of his knee?
After the young man landed on the ground, his nose and mouth were still bleeding.
His ability to withstand blows was also quite good. He rolled over, then got up and ran away.
However, he ran staggeringly and was caught up by Odysseus from behind. He kicked him in the butt and fell flat on his face.
Clang clang clang!
The copper bell rang at this time, because if it was not knocked, there would be no cold weapon combat. Chapter 49 Lelouch
When the butler-like staff member explained the rules, there was actually an implicit rule that he didn't mention: if the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, the bell will be rung in advance.
But such things rarely happen, because when arranging a match, the organizer will arrange opponents of equal strength together.
But today, an accident happened. The organizer arranged a sequence 9 level opponent for Odysseus based on Simon's description of him.
This young man has participated in several competitions. Whether it is fighting skills or the use of cold weapons, he is very good. The organizer originally planned to use him to suppress Odysseus to prevent the newcomer from being too arrogant in the future.
What they didn't expect was that Odysseus didn't use his full strength in front of Simon before!
So the young man was no match at all, so the bell was rung in advance.
There was another round of applause from the stands. For those spectators, although this match was short, it was very exciting.
The fighting style of this masked newcomer was obviously more restrained by his opponent's fierce attack.
Odysseus did not continue to attack, but stepped back a few steps and slowly drew his weapon.
The young man was really strong, and Odysseus seriously suspected that he was a warrior.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, took a breath, and drew out his weapon.
It was a snow-white knife that looked very sharp.
The young man adjusted his breathing and felt that he could fight again, but this time he did not take the initiative to attack, but waited for Odysseus to make a move very cautiously.
Odysseus glanced at the hilt of the opponent's knife, then smiled and said, "Surrender, you have already lost."
The young man snorted coldly, said nothing, and still stared at Odysseus closely.
Finally, Odysseus made a move, and the young man frowned, because the opponent's sword posture was a bit awkward, or seemed a bit clumsy.
But the young man did not dare to be careless, and cautiously drew his knife to block the opponent's sword.
At the moment when his knife touched the sword body, he saw a flash of electricity on the opponent's weapon. The next second, he trembled all over, and half of his body was numbed by electricity.
Of course, the weapon in Odysseus's hand is not just a simple cold weapon. The sword in his hand is an extraordinary weapon that can release high-voltage current in an instant.
This is a weapon that Odysseus made when he was studying the current of this world for a while. After making it, he felt that it was a bit useless because the cost of this sword was as high as 230 pounds, but the enemy could easily win with a revolver that cost less than 2 pounds, so it has been kept in the basement and has never been used.
In fact, there is no place to use it. You can't run around the street with a sword on your back, right?
However, in this noble fighting field, it is the place where those extraordinary cold weapons come into play!
Although the handles and hilts of the opponent's weapons may be made of wood and seem to be non-conductive, Odysseus later discovered that in order to avoid the handle or hilt falling off, this long weapon will use a metal wedge to fix the handle to the blade at the position of the handle or hilt.
Otherwise, a metal hoop is used to fix the wooden handle.
In short, most of the time, there is a way to conduct electricity.
Today, Odysseus's opponent actually used a metal handle, so he was electrocuted so hard that he trembled all over and quickly retreated.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been knocked to the ground by the electric shock.
"Referee...referee," the young man was a little tongue-tied because of the electric shock: "His sword...sword, there is something wrong."
Odysseus said loudly: "The rules say that you can bring a cold weapon, but there is no regulation on whether the cold weapon has extraordinary effects."
The young man was very angry: "You...this is still called a cold weapon?"
Odysseus said lightly: "Yes, after all, it can't fire bullets."
At this time, the referee who was watching the game from a high place finally said: "The rules do not stipulate that weapons cannot have extraordinary effects. This weapon is effective." To be more precise, the organizers hoped that both sides would use extraordinary weapons, so that the competition would be more entertaining.
Odysseus said again: "Surrender."
"As a qualified warrior, there is no option of surrender!" The young man dropped the knife in his hand, picked up the easy chair on the street and rushed towards Odysseus.
Odysseus dodged the opponent's attack lightly, then stabbed the opponent with his sword, and released the high-voltage current again at this moment.
This time, the young man was electrocuted and fell to the ground with convulsions.
Odysseus smiled and said: "Real warriors are not as stubborn as you."
At this time, the referee announced: "The masked man wins!"
There was sparse applause from the stands. They would rather see a fight to the death than such a one-sided battle.
Odysseus certainly didn't care about the feelings of these nobles and wealthy people. He put away his sword and walked away quickly from the iron gate.
After exiting the iron gate, the butler-like man said, "Sir, please leave your name so that we can arrange a new match for you."
Odysseus was slightly stunned, then smiled, "Lelouch!"
"Okay, Mr. Lelouch." The other party said politely, "Please wait, your reward will be delivered soon."
Odysseus sat down again and saw a middle-aged man with two small mustaches sitting opposite him. The other party was carrying a two-handed sword and was quietly thinking with one hand on the sword.
It was estimated that this was the next extraordinary person to play.
A minute or two later, a waiter came quickly and handed Odysseus a reward of 260 pounds.
They were all 10-pound notes, and they didn't look very thick.
Simon politely said goodbye to the butler-like man and left in the rented carriage he came in.
Sitting in the carriage, Odysseus took out three banknotes and handed them to Simon: "I'll give you 4 more pounds. If you have time, come and do more activities and understand the rules here.
"Also, find a way to find out the information about my opponent. "
Simon smiled and put away the money: "Yes, yes, leave it to me."
Odysseus said nothing more and asked the rental carriage to take him back to 75 Hailin Avenue.
Back at his residence, Odysseus took off his mask, changed into loose clothes, and poured himself a glass of wine to celebrate.
After the promotion, he didn't digest the potion much today, but he had earned more than 500 pounds with his new ability.
Adding Odysseus's savings, the deposit paid by Bernadette, and the intelligence fees earned from the previous occult research, all added up, Odysseus's savings were close to 3,000 pounds.
It has been a long time since he had so much money.
But by tomorrow, he will have a lot of places to spend money.
Putting the money in the safe, Odysseus took a shower, lay on the bed to review the battle at night, and then fell asleep.
His consciousness appeared again in the wilderness composed of illusory light.
A new week of research began, but after his promotion, the "wilderness of knowledge" seemed to have changed. Chapter 50 Changes in the "Wild Knowledge"
In front of Odysseus was the familiar wilderness with illusory light and seemingly no concrete appearance.
But deep in the wilderness, the tower composed of spheres emitting faint light no longer looked so illusory, and the entire tower actually had a little more substance.
Odysseus stopped and watched for a while before entering the tower.
The changes inside were not big, except that a magic circle appeared next to the "central simulator".
With just one glance, he determined that it was a teleportation magic circle.
Then, the corresponding operating knowledge "entered" Odysseus's mind. To be precise, this was a magic circle that could communicate between the outside world and the "Wild Knowledge".
In the real world, as long as the corresponding sub-array is drawn, the matter of the real world can be teleported to the inside of the "Wild Knowledge".
This is a new ability that Odysseus gained in the "Wild Knowledge" after his promotion. Although it can only teleport inanimate matter, this ability is quite practical.
Odysseus sighed, "I have space too!"
His test subjects and gold pounds can be transferred here. This place is safer than any bank.
He has already planned to draw a fixed magic circle in the basement of his residence, and then draw a magic circle on the cloth that he can carry with him at any time.
Then, Odysseus reached out and touched the "Central Simulator" to search for information with his mind. Soon he found that his query authority was indeed higher.
For example, he can now query the three paths of "Secret Peeper", "Generalist" and "Reader", and the potion formulas of Sequence 9 and Sequence 8.
Unexpectedly, a "Reader" path was added!
But a new question was placed in front of Odysseus: "Why only Sequence 8?"
This is very fucked up. After promotion, you can get more potion formulas, but there is no formula for further promotion!
Odysseus was somewhat amused and then he recalled the diary of Roselle that he had seen before, and continued to search for the mystical symbols used by the elves. He
couldn't find any information about the elves before, but today, he can find the mystical symbols used by the elves.
Not only the mystical symbols of the elves, but also the mystical symbols used by dragons and giants can be found.
Comparing these mystical symbols, Odysseus soon discovered that the mystical symbols currently widely used in the North and South Continents evolved from the mystical symbols of the two extraordinary tribes, giants and dragons. They
mainly come from the giants. The mystical theories of the dragons seem to be different from those of humanoid creatures. There are many elements about dragons in those mystical symbols.
As for the mystical symbols of the elves, they are completely another system.
Odysseus pondered: The previous conjecture was correct. The elves came from the "Western Continent". Their mystical concepts are completely different from those of the North and South Continents, so the magic array of the elves looks more powerful.
Unfortunately, Odysseus has not yet found the magic array of the elves. He can only find the magic array used by the human sages in the Second Epoch. Obviously, he has to be promoted again before he can find relevant knowledge. The magic array
used by the human sages is obviously different from the modern magic array. There is no standard such as "pentagram" or "hexagram". Many magic arrays are square, trapezoidal, or even polygonal. The functions are more diverse and more powerful than now.
This is also in line with Odysseus's previous conjecture. With the advent of the Third Age, the ancient sun god used the "blasphemous slate" to further popularize the potion formula among the human race, and humans can become extraordinary people relatively safely.
Then the research on the magic circle will gradually decrease, and eventually a large amount of related knowledge will disappear in the long river of history. To this day, the role of magic circle decoration has exceeded its actual role.
Odysseus's core research is actually the study of spirituality. Those research results have given the forgotten magic circle a new place to use.
Although only the mystical symbols of ancient extraordinary races such as the elves can be found, it is already very good for Odysseus. Their mystical symbols are more perfect than the existing human magic symbols. At present, Odysseus's deduction and research on mystical symbols is difficult. These perfect magic symbol systems are a good reference.
After doing these understandings, Odysseus started today's research.
He plans to put the original topic aside for now and study a new topic today: Can the extraordinary knowledge in the extraordinary characteristics be extracted and injected into the brains of others?
After being promoted to "Combat Scholar", Odysseus felt the extraordinary knowledge and fighting skills obtained from the extraordinary characteristics. This was a very wonderful experience. He had these knowledge without learning at all, which was very similar to the "divine gift" that Odysseus had heard of before.
So he had a crooked idea about it. If those mystical knowledge and fighting skills could be instilled into the mind of an ordinary person, then that ordinary person would instantly become an expert in mystical knowledge and a master of fighting.
Of course, ordinary people have not been reshaped by magic potions, and they still need a period of training to master those fighting skills.
But this is also much simpler than normal practice. The normal way of learning is to experience the mystery of fighting in constant practice.
If those fighting skills are instilled, it means that you have the corresponding fighting experience first, and the practice is a process of practice. Of course, the speed of mastering fighting skills can be faster.
However, even if you master those mystical knowledge and fighting skills, because you don't have the same fast reaction and thinking ability as a real "combat scholar", your ability is still far behind that of a real "combat scholar".
But this is something that can be used on a large scale. If there are enough extraordinary characteristics and spirituality, theoretically, everyone in Backlund can become an expert in mysticism and a master of fighting.
This is just a hypothesis. Odysseus currently only has a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of a "fighting scholar". If his research is successful, he only intends to train a few assistants in mysticism for himself when needed.
As the research unfolds, Odysseus encounters two problems. The first problem is how to extract knowledge from extraordinary characteristics? The second problem is how to instill knowledge into the brains of ordinary people?
Fortunately, he can now find some magic arrays drawn by ancient sages. One of the magic arrays is used to extract useful extraordinary information from the corpses of extraordinary creatures.
At that time, humans were very fragile, and their mastery of extraordinary and mysticism was far inferior to those of the huge extraordinary creatures.
So the desire for knowledge made them invent this magic array, hoping to get the mystical knowledge and extraordinary knowledge they need after killing extraordinary creatures.
However, this magic array still needs a lot of transformation to meet Odysseus's requirements.
Another problem can be solved by a modern magic circle, which is called "telepathy". Sitting in the magic circle, there is a very small probability that you can sense the thoughts of the people next to you.
This magic circle needs more modifications and can only be used as a reference.
