Chapter 900: Sequence 4 Prophet
"My name is Luca Brewster, and I am a clergyman who serves the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' and am currently in charge of the affairs of the Church in Sibelang.
"I expected you to arrive at least a year after receiving the invitation, but I didn't expect that in less than ten months, you have already become a 'Mystic Teacher'."
Wearing a plain white robe inlaid with brass threads, and his silver hair was combed very neatly, the old gentleman Luca said with a smile to Abner in front of him after briefly introducing himself:
"There are many copies of the 'secret arts' in this house, and you can study and study them here for a while, and I have also selected several talented children in advance, and you can teach them the 'secret arts' you have learned to help you digest the potions as soon as possible.
"Also, I let ......"
"Wait!" Before Lukka could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Abner, who raised his hand helplessly and said with a little disappointment, "But I don't need this...... I've finished digesting the mystical master's potion. ”
Luca was stunned for a few seconds when he heard this, and then showed a bitter smile and said, "It seems that you are not early, but late......
"This is a bit far from my 'prophecy'...... Sure enough, fate is always elusive. ”
With a sigh of emotion, he took out two pieces of parchment from the drawer of the table, handed them to Abner, and sighed:
"There's not much I can do to help you...... These are the only two things that might help you. ”
Curious, Abner took the two pieces of parchment, picked up the one first, and read it carefully:
"Sequence 4: The Prophet.
"Main material: Absoru's main eye, the true soul of the Mothman.
"Auxiliary materials: 200 ml of Absoru's blood, 20 grams of Mothman's wing powder, 10 grams of bark crumbs of the Treant Mentor, 10 grams of freshly squeezed golden grape juice, 10 blue sawgrass, and a notebook containing its own breath and spirit.
"Initiation ceremony: to complete an invention or discovery alone and display it, revealing what is unknown and astound and adoring as many people as possible. Then, before the emotions of the people are shocked and so on, they take the potion. ”
The first piece of parchment was the Prophet's potion recipe!
"The requirements of the ceremony were not as high as the 'Lion' Leons said to be 'an invention or discovery that would shock the world,' and it was evident that the words of the goods were appropriately exaggerated...... Of course, it may also be in its mind that the invention or discovery should have shocked the world, after all, it was brought up by Russell......"
Although the demigod formula is extremely precious, it is only a time saver for Abner, who has already obtained the extraordinary characteristics of the "Prophet" and can completely parse the relevant information through the "Pure White Eye", and it is not so important.
So Abner only scolded a few words and put it down, and it did not have the joy that Lukka expected, which made him feel frustrated again when he wanted to "show off".
Unaware of the childlike thoughts of the old man on the other side, Abner picked up another piece of parchment, and found that it was a list, a list of many scientific achievements.
"Radio and Magnetic Waves", "Principles of Photoelectric Effect", "Prevention and Control of Anthracnose Bacteria", ......
Looking at the names whose painting style was not consistent with his own, Abner had a vague guess, but still asked politely: "What are these for?" ”
Luca was in high spirits, first introduced the significance of these achievements in turn, and then proudly said: "These are all papers that I haven't sent out yet, you can choose one at will, and then the church will find someone to operate it to help you build momentum, and finally hold an academic conference to present the papers, which will cause a sensation in a certain circle......
"That way, you'll be able to complete the ritual relatively smoothly."
Hearing this, the corners of Abner's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously said, "Isn't this a fraud?" Can such a ceremony also be counted? ”
"As long as others don't preemptively publish it and become known to the public, then count! In fact, there may have been similar results researched by others a long time ago, but it may have been buried by history...... Therefore, naturally, who is the first to be counted is not a fraud. Luca didn't care.
You've guessed it, this knowledge has been studied in the old days before the First Age...... But plagiarizing other people's achievements like this is not good after all, and it doesn't match my own personality, and rashly taking it out will only make people question, not shock...... It will take a long time, well, at least half a year to a year of foreshadowing, operation and operation I am afraid to succeed......
But Mr. Fool will become a demigod in two months, and the world will become more and more dangerous...... I am again the center of many intrigues and maelstroms...... Maybe you can't wait that long......
As his thoughts turned, Abner touched his chin and asked Luca, "What was your demigod promotion ceremony like?" ”
"I'm ......" Lukka didn't hide it, he replied as he recalled, "I have been teaching the generals and soldiers of the warlords of the Southern Continent since the stage of 'Mystic Tutor', and before I was about to be promoted, I asked the general to gather tens of thousands of soldiers, plus their families, to witness the whole process of discovering and excavating the bones of a feathered serpent with my rich knowledge."
Then in their shock and fear, they drank the potion and promoted to demigod.
"But in retrospect, the ritual was actually quite a fluke, after all, the number of people was still too small, and if it weren't for the fact that I was a respected 'guru' in their eyes, they would have trusted me and even admired me...... And the feathered serpent is equivalent to a god in the eyes of the natives...... I'm afraid I'm lost in the 'river of fate'. ”
That is to say...... Is it okay to discover something that everyone knows but has never discovered? Abner asked thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.
"Yes, but unlike inventions or the discovery of a certain principle, there is a physical object and a process of derivation, so you have to show enough people your knowledge, logical reasoning, and a certain amount ......of luck," Lukka replied in a slow voice.
"I see...... Then it's not a big problem...... There are enough people, and I can solve it myself. Abner stood up confidently, bowed to Luka, and said sincerely, "Thank you for your answer." ”
"Don't you need my research?" Lukka asked in surprise as if he had a "hunch" of something.
"It's too slow to make scientific discoveries...... I thought of a better way. Abner replied with a smile, then picked up the parchment with the recipe on it, and asked again, "Do you have any ready-made materials for this?" ”
Lukka thought for a moment and replied calmly, "I still have some 'blood of Absoru'...... It can be sold directly to you.
"As for the rest, monsters like the 'Mothmen' are often haunted in the Vorsack Empire, and may be found there.
"The 'Golden Grapes' are produced in Intist, but they are monopolized by the Church of the Eternal Sun and several large families, and only some are produced on their estates.
"The 'Treant Mentor's Bark' is not a valuable item and is readily available in Lenburg......
"'Blue sawgrass' isn't very common, and I happened to buy it at an extraordinary party."
"As for the notebook that contains your own breath and spirit, you don't need me to provide it, right?"
With that, he told Abner to wait a moment, and he got up and walked to the back room.
While waiting, Abner thought to himself: "Mothman's wing powder" can ask the countess "Greedy" to think of a way, her family has been rooted in Fersack for thousands of years, and it is likely that there will be a collection;
In the case of "golden grapes", even if the Fanny family does not have them, the Delion and Sauron families must also plant them, and it is not difficult to get some freshly squeezed juice;
"Tarant Mentor's Bark Crumbs", I'll go to Edwina and Thales first, and if they don't have any, I'll ask the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" to see them...... If you really can't do it, you can only go to Lenburg to buy it yourself.
"Blue sawgrass" is uncommon, but members of the Mother Earth Church should be able to cultivate it.
As for notebooks...... I should be in time to start keeping a diary today......
After he cleared his mind, Lukka also walked out with a metal box sealed by the spirit and placed it on the table.
Afterwards, Abner inspected and paid for the goods, thanked Lukka again, and promised to come to him to study secrets in the future, and then turned away from the seemingly ordinary house.
After he left, Lukka moved his jaw invisibly and said to himself:
"What a terrible young man, and just one meeting with him turned my fortune around...... A crisis that needed someone's help to get through suddenly disappeared......
"Is this the crisis gone, or is it something that I can't 'foresee'?"
On the other side, Abner, who had gone out of the gate and boarded the carriage, looked at "Cecia" who had been waiting here, and smiled:
"Looks like we're going to have a great adventure."
As he spoke, he took out a roll of parchment from his bosom, which was the thank you gift from Miss Gwen of "Lady Longwei" - the map of the "Sunken Laurel" left by Russell.
"I'm just busy with expeditions and promotion arrangements, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to participate in the tarot meeting...... Well, let's take a two-week vacation first. ”
……
April 12th.
In a building on the outskirts of St. Millon, the capital of Vrsack, Miss "Greedy" Ksenia used her contribution to exchange the "Mothman's Wing Powder" from the family's treasury.
She put the materials in a metal box and sealed them, and then prepared to leave the manor.
But just as she was waiting for her carriage to come, she happened to hear several of the family's children whispering in the garden.
"That Russell Gustaf is awesome! Unlike previous dramas, there are also those crude silent films, this is a real masterpiece!
"Every lady and lady's clothes and tidying are very elegant, and the actors' temperament and demeanor are also very good, which makes people suspect that they are found to perform by nobles!" A girl said excitedly.
At this time, another teenager also said excitedly: "I actually prefer the plot, Russell is worthy of being the most legendary character in the past thousand years, he is not high-born, but he can make so many achievements, it's really amazing!" ”
Just as their discussion became more and more enthusiastic, a young girl came running out of breath and shouted: "Bryan Film and Television Company is going to release a new work again!" It premiered this weekend, and it is said to be based on real events, and the name is 'Looking for Laurel'! ”
"Really?!" Several teenagers and girls jumped in surprise.
As soon as Miss "Greedy" heard this, she saw that the carriage had stopped in front of her, she stepped into the carriage, and after she was far away from her manor, she blocked the carriage with her spirit, and then summoned a demon wolf messenger and handed it the materials she had just obtained.
After doing this, recalling the conversation he had just heard, "Greedy" Ksenia said thoughtfully:
"Is this the detective's promotion ceremony? Well, maybe I should go to the cinema on the weekend too. ”
……
April 13, Trier.
Elaine, who had picked a bunch of golden grapes from the Sauron family's vineyard and squeezed them into juice and sealed them spiritually, was in a good mood and drove to her company.
The success of "Russell Gustav", as Abner expected, led the trend in Intis, and even set off a huge wave in politics, many people, entrepreneurs, even officials, and parliamentarians began to reflect, and the radical ones even proposed to restore the old system of the Gustav dynasty!
After all, Intis was really strong at that time, and even if the other three major powers joined forces, they were all easily defeated.
This film evokes the nostalgia of the people for that era.
Although Elaine was a member of the Sauron family, she did not feel uncomfortable about it, because she knew that even the old stubborn within the Sauron family had many people who admired or admired Russell......
I heard that Abner has already edited the next film, I don't know if it will be more sensational than "Russell...... After Elaine handed over the "Golden Grape Juice" to the summoned Demon Wolf Messenger, she faintly hoped that the film and television company could create more brilliance.
She has a lot of confidence in Abner, after all, there are many details in the previous "Russell Gustaf" that he advised...... And those suggestions proved to be very effective.
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! Today's headlines, the hereditary viscount of the Kingdom of Rune worth three million gold pounds! At this moment, Elaine's thoughts were interrupted by the cries of the newsboy, and she thought about it, asked the coachman to stop, and bought a copy of the Rheinische Zeitung.
"'Heroic Detective' sails the furious seas and discovers the 'Sunken Laurel'!
"Abner Bryan has given the treasure to Rune and is about to be made the 'Viscount of Beldan'."
Putting down the newspaper, the corners of Elaine's mouth hooked slightly, and she said to herself silently: "Abner is really generous......
"But in this way, no one will doubt that he has found the 'Laurel', and he has succeeded in stirring up the matter...... At that time, the authenticity of the film will definitely be recognized...... After all, everyone has a preconceived notion that this is a real-time expedition record......
"Not only can you get a knighthood, but you can also complete the ceremony, and you can make a lot of money for the company......
"That's a bargain for a few million dollars!"
……
April 14, Fenerport City.
Miss Judy, the daughter of Ms. Crossfia, carefully packed the "blue sawgrass" she had cultivated and handed it to her mother.
After closfia put it away, she smiled and said, "You see, Abner is about to be promoted to a demigod, and your 'druid' has not yet been digested...... Feeling stressed? ”
Judy shook her head and said nonchalantly: "He's special, so I don't compare with him!" ”
Then, she deliberately changed the subject and asked curiously, "You were by Abner's side to protect the 'Laurel' he found, right?" Tell me, is the process full of excitement?
"I watched the Abner in the trailer go into danger several times."
Cross Fia remembered the previous "pose" in the undersea vortex, and the corners of her mouth twitched, but she still said mysteriously: "You'll know when you watch the film on the weekend!" ”
……
15 April, Lemburg.
After receiving Abner's request, Edwina rushed all the way back here, bought the "Tree Man Mentor's Bark Scraps" that the other party needed, and submitted the "Edwards-Bryan Teleportation Technique" that she and Abner had sealed for a long time to the "Tower of Wisdom" for review.
It is worth mentioning that the people of Lenburg, the city of knowledge and wisdom, are also talking about the new film of Bryan Films, but their focus is not on the wealth of the "Laurel", but on how the deep-sea vortex shown in the trailer is formed.
And how did Detective Abner Bryne use knowledge to get out of that vortex...... They are full of curiosity and anticipation.
……
Saturday, April 16, Beckland.
Under the covert operation of His Royal Highness Vera, Abner Bryan's acquisition of the "Viscount of Beldin City" was finally approved by the king.
As soon as this news came out, the public's attitude towards the film "Looking for the Laurel" became even more "fanatical", eager to find out the skills of "exploration" and become the next person to make a fortune.
In this regard, Edith, who had been an adventurer, pursed her lips and dismissed...... But he still went to the queue overnight to buy a ticket for tomorrow's premiere, after all, this is Freya's request.
Tolzna, a baby girl who had just been born for a few days, spat out bubbles, so that everyone in front of her silly brother couldn't help but have diarrhea.
……
Sunday, April 17.
Rune, Fursac, Intis, Fenerport, Lemburg...... Even the overseas bayam and some large cities in the southern continent opened at the same time, and countless people poured into the theaters.
Among them were Hugh, Furth, Fanny, Edwina and other friends of Abner, as well as Thales, Mr. Azik and other friends, and even Klein walked out of the bathroom, bought a ticket, and walked into the only theater on the island of Sunia.
Under the watchful eyes of so many people, Abner Blayn's adventure to discover the Laurel has begun!
As the plot develops, Abner in the film uses knowledge and wisdom again and again to save the day, and finally deduces the location of the "Laurel", resolutely dives into the maelstrom, and finally sees the treasure, the audience's shock, envy, and awe reach their peak.
And the real Abner also drank the prepared "potion" at this time.
The icy potion slid down his throat, and Abner only felt himself entering a world devoid of any color, mechanically cold, and filled with countless messages.
It is the "world of absolute reason", where the "river of destiny" is!
The Pure White Eye automatically opens, and the "Wheel of Fortune" and the "River of Destiny" in it complement each other......
It was about three or four minutes before Abner stretched out his finger and rubbed his swollen forehead, his face both surprised and joyful.
Surprised by the smooth promotion, and happy is-
He finally gained his divinity and became a half-human, half-god being of the "Reader"!
became-
Sequence 4, "The Prophet"!
