Chapter 20: 20



She changed her clothes to a different color, still looking very elegant.

She frowned slightly when she saw Odysseus's messy laboratory, but still sat down on the chair next to the desk reluctantly.

Odysseus took out a pen and paper and asked, "How much do you know about magic circles?"

"I can draw common magic circles, and I can draw uncommon ones after seeing them once." The lady said, "If you want to teach me how to draw magic circles, we can skip this one."

Odysseus continued to ask at his own pace, "Do you know the six applications of the flame symbol?"

The lady tried her best to be patient: "Very clear!"

Odysseus asked the third question: "How to control the burning direction and intensity of the flame in the magic circle?"

"Direction... and intensity..." The lady was stunned for a moment, but she smiled immediately: "What's the use of knowing these things?"

Odysseus concluded without much emotion: "The foundation of mysticism is very poor, and there are many things to talk about.

"I will try my best to explain it clearly. Ask questions in time if you don't understand. "

The lady was stunned again. As an outstanding "scroll professor", it was the first time that someone commented that she had "a poor foundation in mysticism".

Odysseus took out his revolver, disassembled it into small parts, and began to explain the magic circle used in this weapon.

The burning direction and intensity of the flame mentioned by Odysseus just now are very important in this magic circle. Every time you maintain the weapon, it is equivalent to redrawing the magic circle. If the flame is too strong, it is easy to explode, and if it is too weak, it will be no different from an ordinary revolver.

If the burning direction deviates, it is easy to explode the moment the bullet leaves the barrel.

After listening for a while, the lady realized that what the herbalist in front of her was talking about was a new application of the magic circle, a new application that was enough to shock the entire extraordinary world!

With this magic circle, even ordinary people with enough knowledge of mysticism can make such a revolver with extraordinary effects! The domain name of this website has been changed toWhen it comes to natural elements, the 'pentagram' or 'hexagram' array is generally used." Because the people sent by the "Mysterious Queen" had very poor foundations, Odysseus had no choice but to start from the basics:

"The 'pentagram' array is used because before the Third Epoch, the Extraordinary people believed that the world was made up of earth, air, water, fire and ether.

"The 'hexagram' array is used because, by the Fourth Epoch, Extraordinary scholars believed that gold should also be the basic element that makes up the world.

"Or 'gold' should be differentiated from the original 'earth'. At the same time, it is said that the 'pentagram' magic circle occasionally summons demons, so the 'hexagram' magic circle is widely used."

The lady who came to learn no longer had any contempt at this time: "I heard that the Belia family in the Blood Worship Cult has the element of 'pentagram' in their family emblem."

Odysseus nodded: "I have also seen similar information. The change of the magic circle from 'pentagram' to 'hexagram' should have a certain relationship with them."

As he spoke, he drew two isosceles triangles with the same center but different directions on the paper. This is the "hexagram".

Odysseus drew a small circle at the center of the triangle: "The symbol in this circle is very important. In the magic circle I am going to talk about, you can't use the common symbol representing fire, but this symbol."

He first drew a trapezoid, and then drew a layered indicator symbol on each of the four sides of the trapezoid.

The lady was slightly stunned: "I have never seen this symbol, but judging from its appearance, it is very similar to the symbol representing fire."

"This is a symbol I derived from the six applications representing the flame symbol." Odysseus said.

"Can occult symbols be derived?"

Odysseus did not answer this question directly, but asked: "Have you heard of the legend about the origin of occult symbols?"

The lady nodded: "According to legend, these symbols are a set of occult symbol systems created by the ancestors based on some of the symbols on the 'blasphemous slate'."

Odysseus said: "This legend is somewhat fabricated. The symbols on the 'blasphemous slate' would never be so simple.

"Don't ask me how I know, I won't tell you even if you ask."

He knew that the font on the "blasphemous slate" was the kind of "only intuitive" characters, and it was even possible that there was no fixed form. How could such a thing be imitated?

"This should be a batch of symbols that the ancestors accidentally found, which can trigger certain reactions of extraordinary characteristics." Odysseus said: "According to my research over the years, this set of symbols is very imperfect.

"So I derived a new set of symbols, which have been verified to be more useful than the original mystical symbols."

The lady realized a question later: "Why do mystical symbols react to extraordinary people?"

"This involves the question of 'the essence of spirituality'."

"The essence of spirituality?"

Odysseus smiled: "As an extraordinary person of the scholar-type path, you must have thought about what spirituality is, right?"

The lady suddenly felt like an ignorant elementary school student: "Spirituality... isn't it spirituality?"

Odysseus said: "This issue is not in this transaction. We will have a chance to discuss it again."

The lady was a little disappointed.

"Let's continue. Outside the small circle are the indicators of the four directions..." Odysseus continued to explain the magic array used in the weapon.

From the indicator symbols outside the small circle, to the symbols in the hexagon, to the circle of mystical symbols outside the large circle, the array he drew is very similar to the classic "hexagram" array, but there are many differences in the details. As

Odysseus explained one by one, it seemed as if a new door was opened for the lady. It turned out that the magic array that had not been taken seriously had so many mysteries and uses! The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.

Finally, Odysseus began to explain the paint used in the magic circle in the weapon.

The entire magic circle should be painted with dark red paint, and the symbol in the middle should be painted with bright red paint.

In addition, the six symbols in the "hexagram" should be painted with bright yellow, and the outermost circle of mystical symbols should be painted with black.

These paints should be added with "magma pyroxene powder" and "red crown fairy grass powder" in a certain proportion. These two spiritual materials are auxiliary materials for the "hunter" path to promote to sequence 7 "arsonist". They are not common spiritual materials.

Therefore, each maintenance of the weapon costs 80 pounds.

After the magic circle was drawn, the lady still had a lot of things she didn't understand, but Odysseus simply explained some basic principles and didn't talk about too many details.

As he said before, that was not included in this transaction.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Odysseus announced that today's class was over and that we would come back the next morning to learn how to disassemble and assemble the weapon.

The lady stood up and said, "Teacher Gal, my name is Alia. I hope I can ask you questions about mystical symbols when I have the chance."

She realized that the knowledge that Odysseus possessed was very important to the "Scroll Professor" and might even bring about a qualitative change in her abilities.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about it later when we have the chance."

Alia asked again, "Does this weapon have a name?"

Odysseus scratched his head and said, "I hate naming the most, so I just gave it a code name."

"Such a creative weapon should be given a resounding name!" Alia thought for a while and said, "How about calling it 'Flame Arrow'?"

Odysseus nodded, "That's fine."

He has always been veryAfter saying goodbye again, Arya left Garr's Herb Shop and took a carriage to a small villa in the Cherwood District.

The servants in the villa had been watching the fireplace, and the burning flames dispelled the dampness and coldness of the city. Arya hurried to her study and first wrote down everything she had learned today in her notebook.

Just as she was thinking about the question of "spiritual nature" raised by Odysseus, the flames in the fireplace suddenly turned green and cold, and even came out of the fireplace.

Arya knew that the "messenger" of the "mysterious queen" had come, and she immediately stood up.

Huh~

After a ball of fierce flames burned, Arya felt that there was suddenly one more person in the study, and the flames in the fireplace turned to normal color, but there was only a ball of air in front of her, without even a shadow of a person.

"How is the progress of learning today?" The voice of the "mysterious queen" came in the air, as if the queen was right in front of her.

Arya bowed slightly to the air: "I only learned the principle of the magic circle, but Odysseus did not explain the inner theory in detail."

At the same time, she realized that the "queen" was very concerned about what she was doing.

"Did he explain those strange mystical symbols clearly?"

Alia roughly understood that the "Queen" had noticed the most important part of the magic circle: those derived mystical symbols.

When she learned that those strange mystical symbols were actually derived by Odysseus, Bernadette, who was in another direction of the city, thought to herself: Are the requirements for opening a herbal medicine store so high now? You even have to derive mystical symbols? The domain name of this website has been changed toThe moment Bernadette saw the Flame Arrow, she had a premonition that this weapon was unusual. Otherwise, why would she, a high-sequence Beyonder, spend her energy to study such a low-end weapon?

When she saw the magic circle inside the Flame Arrow, Bernadette, who had mastered a lot of high-end mystical knowledge, realized the key to this magic circle: those unfamiliar mystical symbols and the new application of the classic magic circle.

She could only rely on her own ability and erudition to deduce the functions of those mystical symbols, but she didn't understand their inner meaning and principles.

That's why she initiated the 3,000-pound transaction with Odysseus. On the one hand, the Sequence 9 combat power of the "Elemental Dawn" was basically equivalent to that of a goose, and such a weapon was really needed.

On the other hand, Bernadette was hiding her true purpose and wanted to understand the inner theories of those mystical symbols.

But what Bernadette didn't expect was that the seemingly young herbalist not only mastered a few new mystical symbols, but also derived a batch of new mystical symbols.

After reporting what she had learned today, Alia hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have noticed another thing. Odysseus has made profound research on certain aspects of mysticism."

Bernadette's voice came from the air again: "Tell me more about it."

"He actually studied the 'essence of spirituality'."

"What?"

"The essence of spirituality!"

After two or three seconds, Bernadette's voice came from the air: "I know."

Alia hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I also found that someone was following me today. It is probably the same 'tails' as before."

"Everything is in my plan." Bernadette has been planning for a long time and is ready to kill the backbone of the "Moss Ascetic Order" in Backlund in one fell swoop.

Alia explained, "I am worried that Odysseus Gal will be harmed?"

Any extraordinary person who has studied the path of "mystery peepers" is half a scholar, and any scholar of mysticism will sincerely admire Odysseus's research.

"This could be an opportunity." After saying this, Bernadette's "messenger" returned to the fireplace, and the flames turned green again and gushed out of the fireplace. In an instant, the "messenger" left, and the flames returned to normal.

Alia was stunned for a moment before asking herself, "What opportunity?"

...

Bernadette certainly would not explain that it was an opportunity to use the danger brought by the enemy to force Odysseus to join the "Elemental Dawn".

Influenced by her father, Bernadette's vision was very unique. From Odysseus's research, she saw the universality of extraordinary weapons, and most importantly, they could be mass-produced.

She knew very well that the "Flame Arrow" was just the beginning, and mass production would give birth to a new era!

Odysseus did not seem to realize this. Bernadette planned to make an implicit long-term investment in Odysseus, and it would be best if both the person and the research results could be included in the "Elemental Dawn".

The conversation that just ended surprised Bernadette again.

As a Sequence 3 of the "Mystery Peeper" path, Bernadette also had many advanced studies in mysticism, and of course she had also thought about questions like "the nature of spirituality".

After hearing Alia's report, she was somewhat surprised. She didn't expect that at such a young age, Odysseus, a Sequence 9, was already studying such a profound problem.

"Interesting." Bernadette decided to send her "servants" to keep an eye on the herbalist after the recent battle.

...

"A-choo~"

Odysseus sneezed loudly in the herbalist's shop at 51 Henry Street. The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.

The young and energetic clerk Kaina smiled and said, "Mr. Kaina, you are not catching a cold, are you?"

"I just sneezed. I guess someone is missing me." Odysseus joked casually.

It was busy until late at night again. After Kaina finished cleaning, Odysseus asked him to take a look in the mailbox. Sure enough, there was a thick letter inside.

Odysseus took a look at the wax and confirmed that it was sent by Ms. Mandy. At present, this lady who was once saved by Odysseus is helping him manage the gray industry.

He opened the letter, which was full of beautiful handwriting, and it was an observation report on the group of noble children.

Mandy had already made a summary. All these observations were without exception. None of them noticed anything unusual recently.

So Odysseus took out a piece of letter paper, wrote down the results of the investigation, and asked Kena to deliver the letter to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute, which was the headquarters of the "Mechanical Heart" overnight.

"You can come back at ten o'clock tomorrow." Odysseus said to the errand boy who was working overtime.

Kena smiled sincerely and said, "Okay, Mr. Gal."

Odysseus rested in the armchair for a while as usual. He did not receive any unexpected guests today, but as soon as he went out, his spirituality realized that someone seemed to be watching the herbal medicine store.

He was slightly stunned, but still locked the door as usual and went to the public carriage station.

While waiting for the carriage, Odysseus quietly observed the surroundings and did not find any suspicious people.

After getting on the carriage, he did not feel that anyone was following him.

However, out of caution, he went to the nearby Lever Church, pretended to pray to the God of Steam and Machinery, and left again after a simple disguise. After

confirming again that no one was following him, he went home with peace of mind.

Because it was too late and there were no public carriages, Austin had to hire a cab and return to his residence at 75 Hailin Avenue.

This chapter is not yet finished, click the next page to continue readingThe whole avenue is lined with townhouses on the left side, and the environment is very good.

Because I haven't been home for two days, the house is a little deserted.

Odysseus boiled a pot of water, drank a cup of hot water, and thought about who might be watching the Gar Herbal Medicine Store, but he didn't have any constructive guesses. He

returned to the bedroom at midnight, turned off the lights and rested.

Today is Sunday. As usual, after Odysseus fell asleep, he came to the wilderness with illusory light and seemed to have no specific appearance.

After coming here, many memories suddenly appeared in Odysseus' mind. For example, he guessed that this should be the source "Knowledge Wilderness".

In the outside world, he would lose the memory of this knowledge, which is actually a kind of protection for him by the "Knowledge Wilderness", because this knowledge is extremely polluting. Without protection, it will cause a huge impact on the "spiritual body".

Deep in the wilderness, there is a tower composed of faint lights.

Odysseus entered the tower with ease, and inside the tower was a huge illusory space.

Here are some tools he conjured up, most of which are experimental tools. He also conjured up a computer for research and record keeping.

The combination of mystical tools and technological products from the AD era, as well as the faint illusory light, make this room seem unreal.

However, Odysseus has long been accustomed to this place. He quickly walked to the center of this wide room, where there is an illusory light ball that is larger than the other light balls.

Odysseus put his left hand on the light ball and said, "Today's topic is to study the principle of the extraordinary ability 'record' of the 'Apprentice' Path Sequence 6 'Record Officer'." The domain name of this site has been changed toprevious topic, Odysseus unexpectedly discovered that the ability of the "Recorder", the ability of the "Reader" Path Sequence 6 "Scholar" and "Imitation", and the ability of the "Scroll Professor" to create scrolls are all advanced applications of mystical knowledge and symbols under the influence of extraordinary abilities!

So he began to study these three Sequence 6 abilities one by one. Today, it is time to study the "Recorder".

The first thing is to find information. The light ball that makes up the tower is a variety of knowledge. You only need to touch the light ball in the center of the room with your hand to search with your mind.

However, Odysseus can only query some knowledge at present. For example, he once looked up the relevant knowledge of "Magic Potions Formula", but he only got the formulas of "Secret Peeper" and "General Knowledge" of Sequence 9.

Odysseus can feel that a lot of knowledge seems to be unable to be found because his authority is not enough.

However, the knowledge that can be found at present is enough for him to complete most of the research.

After a period of searching, Odysseus found that the description of the ability of the "Recorder" is basically: an illusory, slowly turning book is reflected in the eyes of the caster. The mutated "brain" reproduces the extraordinary ability used by the target, and then drives some activated cells to form corresponding symbols, patterns and logos to complete the storage.

This is "I come, I see, I record", using the spirit as a pen and the spirit as paper!

Odysseus looked at the information in a daze: "What is the principle of using symbols, patterns and logos to store extraordinary abilities? Is it just a 'black box' operation generated by extraordinary characteristics?

"Since symbols, patterns and logos are used, can we use the corresponding extraordinary materials and the corresponding arrays to copy such abilities? "

About two years ago, Odysseus thought that such research was useless. After doing a lot of research and experiments, he finally used priceless extraordinary materials to make a low-profile array with similar capabilities. Is it really worth it?

For example, the "Eight-pointed Star" array he built in the basement cannot transmit more than 50 kilometers, and can only establish a fixed channel. After using it once, it takes an hour to rest before it can be used again.

The initial cost of the entire array is about 4,000 pounds, and maintenance is required in the later stage, which also costs about 300 pounds per year.

If it is a seal that matches the "Traveler", the price is about 12,000 pounds. Of course, because the seal of this path is relatively Scarcity will definitely have a premium.

If we take 12,000 pounds as an example, the initial cost of the teleportation array is already one-third of this price, while the effect is far from that of a seal. After all, a seal with the ability to "travel" can go wherever you want.

Judging from the effect, the low-end version of the array is actually not cost-effective.

But later, Odysseus decided to continue his in-depth research on arrays and mystical symbols, because such research would definitely result in huge losses for others, but not for him.

The research process was completed in the "Wild Knowledge", and the array established in the outside world is almost 100% successful, saving a lot of experimental costs and time. .

In addition, although the effect of the magic array is very poor, the advantage is that the negative effects are easy to avoid.

As long as extraordinary materials are used, certain negative effects will occur, but these negative effects are basically borne by the magic array.

Like the "teleportation array" made by Odysseus, as long as the rule of not repeating it within an hour is followed, there will be almost no negative effects.

This is why the subsequent maintenance will cost so much money. The gems in the magic array, as well as the symbols and graphics written with spiritual materials, will break or fall off after being used about 50 times at most, and maintenance is required.

For Odysseus personally, this research direction still has a lot of room for development. However, there are still many problems to be solved. It can only be studied and used in a small range and is not universal.

Odysseus first spent more than ten hours looking for and reading relevant materials. Of course, he would rest for two hours every five hours of work.

You don't need to sleep here, but you need to rest, otherwise it will affect your work efficiency.

After that, you will do specific theoretical research, which will use the light ball in the center of the room. Odysseus named it the "Central Simulator". It can simulate extraordinary abilities of all channels, but the level of ability is currently limited to below Sequence 5. The domain name of this site has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net) . Please keep in mind.

At the same time, you can also simulate the attack of the target or enemy to test Odysseus's research results. The simulation here is almost completely equivalent to the effect under the same conditions in the outside world.

After Odysseus told the light ball what he needed, an illusory figure appeared in front of him and began to use the ability of "recording" over and over again.

After Odysseus's continuous observation, he had a research direction.

First of all, he understood that the process of exerting this ability is that the brain of the "recorder" after mutation first analyzes the extraordinary ability that appears in front of it, and can use the corresponding symbols, patterns and logos to "record" that ability with the spirit of the extraordinary.

The process of analysis is the ability that the extraordinary has after taking the magic potion. This is the first "black box" operation of this ability.

In addition, the extraordinary does not need any learning, and the corresponding symbols, patterns and logos will appear in the brain. This knowledge is also provided by the extraordinary characteristics.

Odysseus's research direction is, with the relevant knowledge of the corresponding symbols, patterns and logos, can the extraordinary who is not an "apprentice" path analyze an extraordinary ability?

Of course, without extraordinary characteristics, even if the ability is analyzed, it is impossible to use such an ability like the "Recorder", but if it can reach this step of analysis, it is already a great progress.

This is like a code, as long as it is cracked, it is possible to simulate all extraordinary abilities.

After half a month of research, Odysseus finally made some progress. He found that the symbols, patterns and logos that make up extraordinary abilities have certain rules in their arrangement order.

This shows that there is hope for the extraordinary ability to be cracked, but the research process must be very long.

This discovery is enough for Odysseus to report to the "Wild Knowledge" and leave the dream. The rest of the research will continue next Sunday.

Odysseus does not plan to stay here for too long, so as not to confuse reality with dreams after leaving here. After

leaving the "Wild Knowledge", he still needs to continue "meditation" and concentrate on reminding himself that he is now in the real world, and what he just did was just a dream.

Odysseus glanced at his pocket watch in the hazy night. It was more than three o'clock in the morning, and he could still sleep and rest. At

more than eight o'clock in the morning, in order to reward himself for his discovery in the research last night, Odysseus took a detour to buy a portion of red bean toast, which is one of the few foods he likes in this world. He

came to the store with the toast. When he opened the door, his spirituality felt that someone was looking at him here again.

But he still didn't feel any danger. Odysseus was not too worried about this. After all, he had the support of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, and ordinary Beyonders would not dare to attack him.

Odysseus would go to the Church of Steam and ask for help only if he felt danger.

Monday was the day for Odysseus's subordinates to "hand in their accounts" and to settle the inventory and income of the herbal medicine store.

Odysseus spent the whole morning calculating and keeping accounts. At 2:30 in the afternoon, he told his 15- or 16-year-old assistant Kena that he needed to rest for a while and no one should disturb him.

Lying in the room in the backyard, Odysseus took out his pocket watch and stared at the jumping second hand. It was his first time to attend the Tarot Club, and he was actually a little excited.

At 3 o'clock, the boundless gray fog drowned Odysseus's sight. When he came to his senses, he had appeared in a magnificent hall, on the side of the long bronze table.

"Justice" Audrey Hall stood up and saluted: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!"

Then she paused in the greeting because she saw a new member.

"The Fool" Klein introduced: "This is the new member, Mr. Hermit." The domain name of this website has been changed to
