Verse 217: Knowledge changes fate
The farther north went, the taller and stronger the trees, and the more forests there were, but at the moment there was a rare stretch of flat land.
In autumn, it is already very bleak, although the daylight is brilliant, but you can't feel the scorching heat very much, and the space seems to have a golden filtered texture.
To the southwest, a warrior on a thin horse appeared in view, slowly trotting forward at a pace that was neither fast nor slow.
Not long after the warriors appeared, more and more horses, carriages, and pedestrians appeared on the horizon, many of which were still carrying slow packages of goods, as if they were a caravan.
The carriages of the caravan were not very large, they were very simple single-compartment carriage styles, and in one of the carriages, there were three people sitting, it was Norman, Chen Qinghe and Abel.
After accepting Abel, for Norman's sake, Chen Qinghe happily took out some money and handed it to the caravan owner Dunnis, asking him to move some more goods out of the carriage, so that Able could also ride in the carriage with them. This can make it easier for Norman to find a way to crack the curse on Abel's body, it can also be convenient for Abel to teach Norman magic alchemy, and it can also be convenient for Chen Qinghe to listen to it - whether it is a curse or magic alchemy, Chen Qinghe is interested.
This kind of thing kills three birds with one stone, so it is no wonder that Chen Qinghe paid for it very happily.
And now, Norman is trying to use his methods to break the curse on Abel.
"Say it to me again, Bo,"
"Wave,"
"Z,"
"Z,"
......
Norman recited pinyin one by one, and Abel studied with him earnestly.
This is what Norman tried to "break the curse".
Abel is the descendant of the ancient family, and he is a three-star black-robed mage, his IQ is definitely not low, and after studying for a while, he found that this is the learning method of the ancient language, and it is not the way to break the curse in his imagination at all!
He immediately reported this back to Norman.
Of course, now his fate is in Norman's hands, so his words are not strong, it can be said that they are very tactful, but they are enough for Norman to hear what he means. But Norman casually agreed to help Abel for the sake of alchemy, where can he know the real way to break the curse?
But Norman also had a solution.
"Like I told you before, I don't know how to break the curse,"
Norman said with great sincerity, "So I can only try, and how can I try?" I thought of your prophecy. ”
"The prophecy that you come to me instead of someone else shows that the way to break the curse is what sets me apart from others, and what sets me apart from others is in this knowledge. ”
"There is a proverb in my hometown, called 'knowledge changes fate', which means very well, for example, if a commoner masters the knowledge of a mage, then he can get rid of the fate of his own commoner, and may even become a mage, become a nobleman, and completely change his fate, this is knowledge changes fate. ”
"That's what I've always understood, but when I heard what happened to you, it dawned on me that this proverb could have another meaning? In a sense, curses can be seen as a manifestation of fate. ”
"I've also traveled somewhere, but I've never heard the proverb 'knowledge changes destiny' anywhere but my hometown, why is it that only my hometown happens to have this proverb? Why do I happen to have some knowledge that no one else has? Why did your family's prophecy make you come to me? Is it really just a coincidence?"
When Norman said this, the expression on his face was solemn and mysterious, and a little weird, and finally shook his head solemnly and slowly, and said: "No, so many coincidences are connected together, it is not a coincidence, but an inevitability, a law, this is probably the real way to break the curse, and this is also the true meaning of 'knowledge changes fate'." ”
Under the influence of the Knights Templar, Norman is now fooling people in a set, especially because he has rich experience in acting, and after matching the appropriate expression and tone, the performance effect is better, and he immediately frightened Abel into a daze, and felt that it really made some sense.
Then Abel obediently followed Norman to learn pinyin.
Teaching Abel Pinyin is an extra routine for Norman in the past few days, and in addition, he also has an extra routine, that is, learning the skills of magic alchemy from Abel.
Before seeing the results, he had to pay others, this deal was a loss for Abel, but Abel had no choice, after all, Norman was the person named in the prophecy, and he had no choice, not to mention that the reason given by Norman was also convincing and reasonable.
"As I said before, knowledge changes fate, maybe the knowledge of magic alchemy you have can break your curse, but you just don't find it. I'm not saying that I'm necessarily smarter than you, it's just that everyone looks at things from a different perspective, and the same is for alchemy, there are some things that you can't find and maybe I can find out, so I think it's still necessary for you to explain all aspects of magic alchemy to me first, which is probably the key to breaking the curse. ”
Norman even went so far as to say, "If you don't mind, I don't think you even have to shy away from Cecil." As I said earlier, the more people who look at the problem, the more angle you can see, the greater the chance of finding the problem, and the more likely it is to help you. ”
As soon as these words came out, it increased the credibility of Norman's words, so Abel obediently taught Norman magic alchemy in the past few days.
As a category of alchemy, magic alchemy should be taught by combining theory with practice, but with their current situation, there are no conditions for practice, so they can only talk about theory first. In the process of studying, Norman found that he was becoming more and more incomprehensible to the Knights Templar.
Lancelot said that magic alchemy could turn him into a source mage overnight, but after he really came into contact with this knowledge, he realized that it was an alchemy technique entirely.
Norman studied alchemy when he was in Nikaro, and knew that refining real magic items was a very difficult thing, and every alchemist who could refine magic items was a much rarer existence than a mage, and from the effects and principles and methods described by Abel, refining magic items would become a very simple thing after mastering magic alchemy!
This is indeed a very powerful alchemy technique, no wonder it is in the most important position in Abel's reward sequence, but the problem is that Norman did not find any clues in it that could make him a white-robed mage or even an origin mage.
