Chapter 42: Good Luck and Bad Luck
"Attention!"
Reintes' tone became serious, and gray-blue pupils stared at Sherlock.
"Inspiration is an extraordinary basic ability, but it must be used sparingly!"
"Under the route of the ten essentia, the transcendence of each low-level level, the strength of inspiration is different, and the application is also different. Some people who are born with strong inspiration have the confidence to use inspiration frequently. ”
"Once the inspiration is overused, it will produce mental exhaustion and confusion, which will directly lead to physical fatigue, and it is easy to be taken advantage of by evil whispers, temptations, whippings, stimulation, etc.!"
"At that point, you'll be in a crazy runaway ......"
Rheintes accentuated the tone of the word "out of control", "Believe me, no transcendent can afford the consequences of madness out of control." Life is better than death, and even if you die, you will die a miserable and disgusting death, and your soul will not be at peace......"
"Later you will understand that dealing with the crazy incidents of your own kind of companions is actually more ...... than normal people"
Rheintes's words were like a basin of ice water, which was poured cold on Sherlock's head, and his whole body was excited.
As if the warning had worked, Sherlock found himself back to normal. Physical control, as well as mental trance, are no longer there, and they become awake and stable.
"Well, it looks like you've recovered." Reintes nodded in satisfaction.
"There will be an introduction to some superficial transcendent knowledge in the envelope you received, so you can take a look at it yourself. There are details of switch inspiration inside, learn about it. ”
"Another ......"
Reintes rubbed his eyebrows lightly, pondered for a moment, and then looked up and said:
"Now that you have been promoted to transcendental, you can consider speeding up the implementation of the previous plan. At ten o'clock tonight, I'll meet you up, and we'll go to the Cindiri Farm in the suburbs. ”
Sherlock heard the name "Cindiri" and felt familiar.
Hey, it seems to be Malfoy, who has been digging up hundreds of years old coffins under this farm...... Could it be that there is anything new to discover?
"Okay, Captain!" Sherlock nodded earnestly.
......
After sending off Rheintes.
Sherlock returned to his bedroom, sat down at his desk, carefully took out the envelope, found the paper cutter and gently slashed it.
Inside is a tough, yellowed sheet of paper, folded in many layers.
When unfolded, the letter begins with the emblem of the All-Knowing Church and the name of the church. Then there is a small line below it: "Special information, burn after reading".
Next, here are the famous words left by the first pope of the Church:
"Essentia, which represents the great power that transcends reality and nature, is the source of the birth of the deity, and is likewise the embodiment of the divine person.
The path to transcendence is to step on the ladder of the unknown. Each step up is one step closer to the Divine Person. With the right way, resolute courage, and plenty of luck, mortals can compete with the gods and reach the top of the gods! ”
Below the initial text is a row of anthropomorphic patterns symbolizing the ten essentia.
The colored pattern represents the church's control over the promotion materials and instructions. The gray and colorless ones have no superfluous introductions.
"Omniscient Kita" and "Mystic Terminal", these two essentia are at the forefront, representing the omniscient arcane ability church in control.
"The Scourge of Disorder", "The Cursed Crown", "The Mother Nest of Life", and "The Mirror of Fortune", these four incomplete routes belong to the Church's collection, with ordinary introductions.
Each folded layer is a description of essentia, as well as a description of the 9th order. This is the most basic knowledge of the extraordinary, and it is also the knowledge that Sherlock desires the most.
With joy and seriousness, he looked down word by word.
First of all, it must be the "omniscient Kita" and the "Arcane Terminal":
"The all-knowing Kita, the 9th rank 'Voyeur': Inspiration is extremely powerful, and he can see, hear, touch, and feel all kinds of supernatural phenomena. The energy that can forcibly snoop on hidden privacy. Good at learning and imitating all kinds of supernatural rituals, recognizing or reasoning about all kinds of supernatural rituals; ”
"Arcane Terminal, Rank 9 'Explorer': Good at tracking supernatural and has the ability to see through disguise. Have a special memory for ancient knowledge. The limbs are strengthened, good at avoiding dangers, the five senses are strengthened, and the physical strength is strengthened; ”
Sherlock nodded secretly after reading this folded page. The names of the transcendent ranks show their abilities and characteristics.
Moving on, there are other essentia:
"The scourge of disorder, the 9th rank 'arbitrator': good at debating and suppressing, and his appearance and language have a reinforcing effect. Hit opponents with strong hints and live atmosphere. Have a special memory of knowledge of legal rules. The limbs are strengthened, and the physical strength is strengthened; ”
"Cursed Radiant Crown, Rank 9 'Prisoner': Gain physical enhancement in a confined environment. In the face of encirclement and suppression, the five senses can be strengthened and the body can be strengthened. Good at spotting traps and learning to imitate and make traps; ”
"Brood of Life, 9th rank 'Breeder': good at domesticating animals, good at cultivating plants. In the middle of the night, you can listen to the sounds of animals and plants. Good at learning to imitate animal and plant instincts, and have the ability to heal their own injuries; ”
Next, there is the "Secret Mirror of Fortune" that Sherlock is most concerned about.
"Secret Mirror of Fortune, Rank 9 'Apprentice': Good at reasoning about the choices of fate, spying on good luck and bad luck at the price paid. Learn and reason about the trajectory of the other party's movements, and peek behind the unknown with the trick key; ”
Sherlock kept this word in mind and analyzed it.
Perhaps it was the embodiment of extraordinary ability, at this moment, as a 9th-order "apprentice", Sherlock found that when he became familiar with this explanation, a lot of relevant knowledge came to mind.
"It's amazing......"
Sherlock sighed, closing his eyes and receiving the indoctrination of knowledge from nowhere.
"Apprentice", with two abilities to spy on fate.
The first ability, called "Destiny Roll".
If you want to know whether what you are doing is good or bad luck, then roll the dice at the cost of an item of "value".
The more important the thing, the higher the value of paying the price.
The higher the value of the payout, the closer the outcome of the roll will be to reality.
"Every dice roll about fate is marked with a corresponding price!"
Sherlock finished his understanding, and thought about it again and again with great interest.
Do you want to give it a try?
If you use the "Fate Roll" ability, you must first ask a question about the choice of fate in your mental consciousness.
The issue has to be what is being done at the moment.
For example, "Am I going to die?" "That's the wrong question. It's not what it's doing right now, it's too vague, it's too broad, it's too profound.
For example, "I'm turning left from the intersection right now, what is the result?" ”
Good luck means being safe and sound, bad luck is either being hit by a carriage and dying, or falling and injuring yourself, etc.
This kind of problem is common and common, so the price to pay is small.
Another example is "I'm going to shoot me in the temple right now." Is it good luck to survive alive? Bad luck is to die on the spot? ”
This kind of problem is the result of a detailed peek into fate, and it is a matter of life and death, and the price to pay is extremely high and unbearable.
The "Fate Roll" can be spied on, but it must also be done within one's means.
"Ask for a simple, low-value ...... first"
Sherlock thought about it and had an idea.
He started by pulling out a 10 kroner silver coin.
Then, condense the spiritual consciousness and give the question of the choice of fate:
"There's a candlestick on my desk, and I'm now clapping the candle flame with my palms. Good luck is the candle not extinguished? Is the bad luck the candle goes out? ”
The question is simple and not costly. 10 crowns of silver is worth enough to get a near-correct answer.
After asking the question, the question seemed to freeze in Sherlock's mind.
Sherlock took a deep breath and tossed the silver krona coin, catching it with the back of his right hand and covering it with his left palm. Then, he slowly uncovered his palm.
This is equivalent to a roll of the dice, which is very chic and formalistic......
There is no doubt that the 10 crowns of silver are gone.
On the back of the hand, a pattern is left that only Sherlock can see.
The pattern is like an illusory "dice", with a square hexahedral shape.
But only three sides are colored, and the other three are transparent and void.
Transparent and nihilistic, representing a more detailed and profound fate. But at the 9th level, this requirement is not met.
The three sides are white, green, red, and three-colored.
White, representing the fate of five or five open, both good and bad, the cost is not enough and unpredictable.
Green represents good luck and good results.
Red, for bad luck and bad results.
The red side is now displayed on the "dice".
This represents the bad luck that Sherlock asked, and the candle flame will go out.
Seeing the result of this "fate roll", Sherlock was stunned.
Because if you slap the candle flame, there is a very good chance that the candle flame will not go out. Nine times out of ten, the candle flame will not be extinguished.
So can this result be believed?
The slim chance of bad luck being hit?
But it can't be thought about for too long, after all, all fates are changing.
Sherlock hastened to make a move.
He looked at the candlestick on the table, approached the candle flame, and clapped his palms.
A stream of air bursts out.
The candle flickered violently, but it was not extinguished.
This is a very normal result, and in general, it is very unlikely that the candle flame will be extinguished.
But at this very moment!
Under the core of this candle, a flying insect fell into the candle oil at some point. As a result of Sherlock's slap, the flying insect moved and was caught in flames.
Then, the flying insects burned and splashed sparks and exploded, and the fire core was suddenly extinguished by the double effect of slapping and splashing, and in the violent swaying.
It all happened very suddenly, but it was logical and reasonable.
"Is this fate?"
"It's kind of interesting!"
Sherlock stared at the faint blue smoke of the candle as it went out, a thoughtful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
After understanding this "fate roll" ability, Sherlock pondered another ability of the "apprentice":
The second ability, called "trajectory peeping".
