Chapter 3: Dreams

"Silver ring? this, this, is it~" Old Kant's eyes widened suddenly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Daddy Kant, what are you talking about?" Seeing the shocked expression of old Kant, Karn's curiosity about the ring was also aroused.

"Karn, don't tell anyone anything about this ring, or I'll have to send the white-haired man to the black-haired man!" said Old Kant to him with a sudden and very nervous grip on Karn's shoulders, and said to him very seriously.

"Okay, I got it. But why?" Karn agreed to his request in view of Kant's attitude and the trust he placed in him, but it was still a little foggy.

"Whew, I know this kind of ring, or because my teacher ......" Old Kant took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled it, as if he was remembering something, and as if he had made some decision.

"Your teacher, you never wanted to talk about the past. Karn's eyes were slightly resentful.

"Excessive curiosity is certainly not good for you as a child. But now, my little Karn has grown up, and I'll talk to you about it today. Old Kant stroked his hair, as if to sort out his thoughts.

"My teacher, Rogier Bacon, was a great master of patterning, and he was given this title as long as I can remember, and I picked it up by him on the side of the road, or perhaps in the garbage heap. When I grew up, I followed him to learn how to make patterns, and although they were profound and profound, time can change everything, and I soon learned most of them. It's a pity that I have no talent for telekinesis at all, and I can't learn the rest of the things. You may also feel it, I taught you the basic magic pattern in more detail, but in terms of telekinesis, hey......

I admit that I really wanted to be a pattern maker, so I was very disappointed, but the teacher reassured me that instead of chasing what didn't belong to me, I should do what belongs to me. I felt that it made sense, so I studied all the magic patterns I could learn more deeply, whether I needed mental depictions or not, just for the beautiful lines and profound knowledge of the magic patterns. I also thought in my heart that although I can't inherit all the knowledge of the teacher, when the teacher is old, I can repay him for taking care of his daily life.

But fate seems to be playing a joke on me. Just twenty years ago, a group of people approached my teacher and asked him to help analyze a furnace. I shouldn't have known what they were talking about, but my heart was pounding and I felt like something was going to happen, so I hid in the cubicle and vaguely heard them talking about the fact that the furnace itself was a silver ring that was automatically invisible......"

When old Kant said this, he frowned tightly, showing a trace of regret, resentment and some unwillingness.

Karn was not too surprised when he heard the master of the pattern, because the old Kant showed a solid basic knowledge of the magic pattern, and was obviously well trained, which made Karn always very curious about the past of the old Kant, but the master of the pattern! This is a great title in the group of pattern makers, this is the existence that all the pattern makers look up to, and now they don't even have the mental power, and they don't even have the qualifications to look up, this hurdle between the carver and the pattern maker!

Speaking of the invisible silver ring, Karn looked at the silver ring that was quietly placed on his finger, thoughtfully, but it did not disturb the memories of old Kant.

"At first, the teacher disagreed, and I don't know how they used to persuade the teacher to participate. At that time, I had been looking for an opportunity to tell my teachers privately about my feelings, but they seemed to be in a hurry, and I never found a chance until they left. Sure enough, for a few days, the teacher never returned, and I only waited for two people to assassinate me. Thankfully, we had an early warning system in place and a friend who helped me escape, at the cost of losing a few fingers and a leg.

They didn't stop chasing me, and I traveled through several cities to finally get rid of them and come to this remote town. On the way to escape, I also inquired in many ways and learned that the teacher was killed by them, and they chased and killed me nine times out of ten to kill me. They did a good job of keeping secrets, and I had no way of getting any other information. ”

"Daddy Kant, you mean that you and your ancestor are both persecuted, and you know who they are?" Karn heard this, his eyes moistened, but more angry, not at all as weak as he appeared.

"Ha, haha, hahaha......" Hearing Karn's question, old Kant suddenly laughed.

"Daddy Kant?

"Hmph, you would never have imagined that they are the Elemental Research Council that sells their reputation!"

"Ahh......h

"You heard them right, it's them!" said old Kant firmly.

Hearing this, Karn naturally believed the words of "Father Kant", who had raised him for so many years and regarded himself as his own, he clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind that he must help old Kant get justice.

"Is that what they're for?" Karn came back to his senses and saw the silver ring on his finger.

"That's probably it, as I said, they do a very good job of secrecy, I have no way of knowing more. Old Kant looked a little helpless.

"If this ring is the same one back then, then how did it come out, and judging by the appearance of the armguards, it seems to have gone through a great battle, or maybe they didn't get the ring at all, and just wanted to figure out how to get it?" Karn wondered.

"Alright, little Karn, don't guess, you have to know that if you can't take this ring, if you still want to live to become a patternmaker, don't let anyone know you have it, especially the Elemental Research Society. Old Kant stroked Karn's hair and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I got it. Hearing the concern of old Kant, Karn did not go against his will, but in his heart, he was determined to find out about it.

"Okay, it's not too early, it's time to rest, recuperate, you might have to go to the pit tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Lying on the bed, Karn tried several times, and the silver ring was so tightly clinging to the skin of his finger that it was completely impossible to remove. Since he couldn't take it off, and he didn't find anything uncomfortable, let him go, and with that thought, Karn slowly fell asleep.

It's a gray space, and everything is hazy and unreal. Karn didn't know how he got here.

His feet were soft, like stepping on cotton wool, and he couldn't see anything around him, and he didn't know which direction to go.

Suddenly, there was a light ahead, and it showed Karn the way.

As Karn got closer, he realized that the only thing that provided the light was a small lamp, the Demonic Table Lamp, a cheap household item that he himself had, also powered by an energy stove.

Karn was soon drawn to something else at the same table—the Demonic Carving Knife, which could move on its own.

At this moment, the carving knife was automatically carved on a half-finished product of a child's fist on the table, which was indiscernible in the category.

Before Karn could wonder about the levitating cutter's own work, his attention was drawn to the content of its work.

"Ahh ”

The concentrating module is the module that the old Kant knew that he could not depict, because it contains several magic patterns that must be carved with telekinesis, which is one of the modules that require the least telekinesis among all known magic pattern modules.

Karn doesn't know how to use telekinesis, which is also a sign that Karn has not become a patternmaker, and he naturally can't feel telekinetic fluctuations, but in this strange space, Karn takes it for granted that he should be able to feel it, and he can't feel it because there are no telekinetic fluctuations around this carving knife.

At this time, whether it was the carving knife or the magic pattern, it seemed to be detached from the surface of the table, suspended in front of Karn's eyes, magnified countless times, the magic pattern seemed to be transparent, Karn could clearly see the other magic patterns behind the countless magic lines, especially the movement of the carving knife, every trace of movement, and even the extremely subtle deflection that occurred because of the uneven natural texture of the material, Karn could see it clearly, he was still in it, and he had not noticed the abnormality of all this.

"Ahh

"That's right! If these two 'Wei' character structures are changed to 'Gui' character structures, their energy circulation will be greatly increased, genius!"

Karn felt that the things that had surprised him in the past ten years or so had not been as many as in the past few tens of minutes, so much so that he had forgotten the "truth" that the Gathering Module should be portrayed with the help of telekinesis.

"Eh, it can't be like this~"
