Session 7: Door-to-door business (II)
Originally, Vahu only planned to learn the lingua franca and learn some of the way of life of the inland, so that he could go deep into the interior to "make friends and throw money", because with the example of the Dawn Council in front, there will definitely be such unpleasant paranormal divisions in the interior, as long as he can bring back one or two, the status quo of the tribe being bullied can be changed.
But Vahu didn't expect that within a few days of his arrival at the Academy, the Dawn Council discovered that he had the potential for special abilities.
Vahu was terrified, because the Dawn Council's anomalous masters, even if they were apprentices, had to trace the family tree of three generations, and those with unknown origins and questionable identities would be escorted to the square to "click". How dare Vahu delay? He ran away that night - but remembering his mission, he stole a notebook before he escaped, which was what the academy used to train its paracanic apprentices.
After a few days of excitement, Vahu discovered a new problem, because the time was too short for him to learn the lingua franca and script. On the West Coast, there are very few literate natives and are often associated with the Dawn Council, so Vahu doesn't dare to go to the big smuggling towns, and can only try his luck in places like Warehouse Town, which the Dawn Council doesn't want to deal with.
In fact, he was lucky, and on his first day in Warehouse Town, he met someone who met all the demands that he would not beat him or steal his things. Now, the notebook, which holds the hopes of Vahu and the entire tribe, is in Townsend's hands.
Townsend took a cursory look at it, and already understood the reason why Vahu was afraid to go to the big town. Because there are not many words on the notes, and there are illustrations on each page, even if you break it up and find someone to translate it, you can see the problem. By West Coast standards, Vahu is a rare smart man, or at least he knows how to avoid danger.
“...... I'm not a Miracle Master, and I think you should understand that. Townsend said to him.
"I know. Vahu nodded, his reasoning was very straightforward, revealing a faint sadness: "The paranormal will not pay attention to me, they will beat me, spit on me, and then take my things." ”
“...... Your notebook isn't really the most rudimentary," Townsend added, "that is, you won't necessarily be able to learn it." ”
"I know, this is what the apprentices used in the second year of practice. Vahu nodded: "It doesn't matter if you don't learn it for a while, as long as you translate it and let me remember it, if I can't do it, I'll pass it on to my son, my son can't and my son's son, one day I can do it!"
"Since you all understand, then there is no problem between us. Townsend was pleased with Vahu's reasonableness, and if he messed around, he really didn't have much to do: "I'll have to read it first, how about it start tomorrow morning?"
"Okay!" Vahu nodded, but immediately added, "But I'm by your side—no!" ”
"Teachable!" said Townshend, and put down his notes and went out, he had to arrange his affairs first---unexpectedly, a dozen of his men also exchanged a lot of good things in the market, and brought gifts to their companions who remained in the camp, so rich that they had to buy two more camels to transport back. Fortunately, this is all for their own use, and it is not the rule of the bad camel caravan.
After settling everything down, Townsend returned to his room and studied his notes under Vahu's gaze.
Frankly, Townsend had some interest in abilities, after all, it was a completely new field, but he didn't have a lot of interest, or the success of assassinating the Abilitymaster Chick gave him a strong sense of self-confidence. So in the process of research, his mentality is very relaxed.
The note is actually a detailed textbook for beginner abilities, including comprehensive exercises and how to use them—the ability is called "Roar," and it's one of the basic skills that every ability master and can definitely master. Although it's only an apprentice-level primary ability, it's not simple, but rather a bit broad and profound.
In addition to the most straightforward basic state, Roar has nine derivative states, with three very high-end pinnacle states.
Obviously, this notebook gives people the feeling of "I have a trick in hand, and I have it in the world", and perhaps that's why the ability is addictive. But this is none of Townsend's business, he is not a supernatural master, and he has never thought of developing in this area - if you want to make a difference in a new field, you must put in a lot of hard work, and Townsend can't wait to open his mouth and stretch out his hand, and hard work is naturally avoidable.
Those who can instruct people and bully men and women don't have to do it themselves are called Yanei, and Townsend knows this well.
Townsend didn't understand the advanced gadgets at the back of the notes, and he didn't bother to guess the proper nouns, but the first five pages explained the basic form of the roar he understood. If you follow the instructions, it's not complicated at all, it's a natural technique, of course, provided that you are a master or apprentice.
Aside from his abilities, Townsend was able to derive all other information from the notebook, such as the fact that he deduced that the education in the Dawn Council was not very good, and that it was full of quick-fix - the whole text was all about how and to what level of qualification the learner should be, but there were no "warnings" or "precautions". In any case, this ability that can be used to kill people and sell goods is a dangerous good, right? Aren't you afraid of an accident along the way?
Phenomena can reveal the essence, and details can reflect the big picture, so Townsend's perception of the Dawn Council is plummeting.
After a short period of research, it became clear that the next day, Townsend began his formal educational work.
“...... The roar is released for a very short time and does not require precise control, and the effect is quite noticeable. Although it costs a lot, it can play a good role in expansion......" After explaining the previous large summary, Townsend carefully asked Vahu: "Do you understand?"
"I see!" Vahu looked very excited: "Easy to use!
"It's never too late to get excited when you've learned. Townsend was secretly amused, this cautious and honest West Coaster was actually quite funny, so Townsend was very concerned about him: "Well, there is a bit of a problem here, jump directly to the preparation for use...... Will you 'wake up'?"
"I!!" Vahu smiled with a mixture of sly and smugness, "I gave people good things, and I learned them secretly!"
"Your behavior is called 'bribery,' but it usually works. Townsend was relieved: "Alright, let's move on." ”
"With Roar, you have to be in the best state of arousal, and the better the state, the greater the effect...... In the event of an attack, it is necessary to use the Awakening Item to achieve the best condition in the shortest possible time...... Oh, there are illustrations, you see for yourself...... You should maintain this position when you are awake...... When you are close to starting, you should switch to the next position......"
