In the room below, the men were giving lectures and occasionally the sound of corporal punishment of the stupid, in the courtyard on the side, the camel caravan was counting the supplies in an orderly manner, and the kitchen in the back was full of people preparing dry food......

Townsend closed his eyes and exhaled, then opened his eyes and slowly opened the cover of the note, following the lamp left by Marcia.

For important documents, Townsend reads them very carefully. According to his education since childhood, this kind of thing should be watched at least three times in a row. The first time I read the outline, the second time I started to think, and the last time I studied almost word for word. But in just one night, he couldn't have done it to this extent. Therefore, Townsend could only use the details on the first few pages of the note.

This section chronicles the entire embryonic period of the note's owner, a term used to describe the time a person is discovered to have an ability talent, and continues to reach the level of an ability apprentice.

Only those who have passed the embryonic stage will be recognized by the Wizards Guild and can receive the badge of the Apprentice of the Ability, regardless of their wealth.

Townsend was already certain that the two notebooks were owned by the same lady. Her budding period began at the age of seven and lasted a year and a half for her stumbling sessions. Almost a third of the account is childish complaints, and cursing the little fat man named "Ingmar" for not having food to eat, and not being able to find a cup for drinking.

Because the germination period of the latter is extremely short, only three months!

After midnight, Townsend disciplined himself closed his notes. Through this short study, he finally got a general understanding of the ability and the master - the owner of the note was young, and in addition to recording his own perception of the ability, he would also excerpt some historical stories and anecdotes about the ability. Documenting these is a completely childish performance, but it helps Townsend a lot.

The seemingly unorthodox record allows Townsend to sort out the overall context of the ability. As a learner with a clear goal, it is very important to establish a global concept, and if Townsend wants to do more with less, this is the foundation.

Even if you look back historically, it's impossible to know for sure when the ability was discovered. All people know is that since the founding day of the Radiant Church, since the beginning of human history, the supernatural power has existed in the world. But at the time, Anomalists were all gifted, and they were quite primitive in their way of using them.

It's hard to imagine that they use abilities depending on the season and the environment, and that they can be like asking for rain.

The notes give a typical example, in ancient times, a tribe could only use an ability once a year at noon on the summer solstice in a specific crypt to strip a rare metal from the ore with a one-third success rate. Even so, the tribe eventually became a kingdom with abilities, and continued to grow into what it is today, the Milan Empire (the fourth most powerful empire on the mainland).

But now the ability is very different, not only has it developed an acquired cultivation system, but it has also divided into levels. According to the strength of the awakened ability and the power released, the real ability master is divided into nine levels, and even the apprentice also contains three levels.

The Psychic Chick who was assassinated by Townsend earlier was actually only an intermediate apprentice, and although Marcia wore the badge of an intermediate Adept, she was already a senior apprentice - with just one small step forward, she would become a real junior Anomala.

But this most critical step is not only full of difficulties and dangers, but also depends on talent and fate, countless senior apprentices are stuck in this level, and they cannot break through for life.

Therefore, there are not many paranormal masters in this world. Although theoretically it is possible for everyone to have this kind of gifted caste, the probability of reaching the Revealed level is roughly 1 in 1,000, only 1 in 10,000 people who have reached the apprenticeship level, and about 1 in 100,000 or less of the total number of people who can successfully break away from the apprenticeship category and become a junior Ability.

In other words, the Adeptus is not actually a ubiquitous cabbage, but a standard rare animal. It's no wonder that the Anomalous Master has nostrils facing the sky, and it's no wonder that when the Vulture Wing is about to go into battle, they only have one Apprentice for the Ability...... Therefore, in addition to hereditary, the status of the anomalist is much higher than that of the nobility, and the junior anomalist can enjoy the treatment of a baron.

Even if they are apprentices, they rarely follow the nobility.

All of this is due to the well-known effects of the ability. In terms of the most intuitive combat abilities, an ordinary junior ability division can single-handedly take on three elite knights and remain undefeated, three second-level ability divisions can join forces to humiliate a standard hundred-man cavalry team, and if ten third-level ability divisions are gathered, this is already an iron fist on the frontal battlefield.

Townsend also looked at the back of the notes curiously, and the feeling he got from reading between the lines was that the ability was an extremely large and complex system, and it was by no means something that could be studied half-heartedly.

Townsend doesn't have the need for this kind of in-depth learning now, so his focus is still on the apprenticeship stage, which is what he can do.

Although the owner of the note was young, he had good habits and literacy, at least she had a record of what Townsend needed most. Roar, the only ability Townsend could use was explained in great detail, at least much better than the broken book of the Dawn Council.

While serving Vahu, Townsend became suspicious of Roar, a ability that was incomprehensible to him with high cost and low output. Now, by contacting the notes in hand, this confusion is easily solved.

Roar, that is, the trick that the Psychic Chick stuns Townsend, is actually an entry-level ultimate move for the Psychic Apprentice, and its importance is similar to that of the Black Tiger Heart-Digging in Townsend's native martial arts. The role of Roar is not to let the apprentice use this to break into the rivers and lakes, but to exercise himself through this trick, just like the students majoring in acting want to learn sketches.

But the Dawn Guild is not opposed to using Roar to suppress the natives of the West Coast, and the half-baked apprentices are happy to use this to show their identity.

The second direct benefit is that Townsend knows the basic way to perceive abilities.

That's right, the paraphils in this world can't see the superpowers, they can only perceive, and then they can wake up - the kind of movements similar to dance and yoga are the way the paraphiles exercise their perceptions, and the principle of this is unknown now, and it is impossible to record this level in the notes, but there are various kinds of exercise perceptions.

This kind of content made Townsend overjoyed, because for him now, his biggest difficulty was not being able to actively awaken abilities, whether it was a black ribbon or an earthy yellow ball, Townsend was using the abilities awakened by others. He's like a robber or a thief, intercepting other people's abilities and taking them for himself, and only converting a little at a time.

Fair evaluation, coupled with the ability to directly see the ability power, these two characteristics of Townsend are quite good, if you learn to awaken the ability, then he is the cow of the cow. In a sense, Townsend's talent is actually a "natural enemy" type - but that doesn't mean that Townsend can rest easy now, and he will still be killed in an instant when he encounters the Ninth Apostle's men.

But this discovery is very helpful for the upcoming counterattack, because the other party is very likely to bring the Anomalous Master, of course, the team used to suppress the Small Chamber of Commerce is unlikely to bring the real Anomalous Master, at most it is only a high-level apprentice - at this level, Townsend is confident and sure.
