Chapter 48: Inheritance
Things are often not as rosy as people think. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although demons are crazy, because of their cunning and insidiousness, because they always try to proclaim their evil, they also have weaknesses and fears, but it is this spiritual perfection that makes demons powerful. On the other hand, the inferior demons created by the blood-feeding method, they have learned the madness and evil of the demons, but they have only learned to learn the madness and evil.
Their spirit is extreme and flawed, figuratively speaking, the camp of human beings is the camp of order and goodness, the camp of demons is order and evil, and the bad demon is chaos and evil.
Muffy, as a high-grade demon, has no fear in her dictionary at all.
Therefore, the interrogation of Jack and Rorschach was destined to be fruitless.
Muffy even used his own bones to make himself a hedgehog before he died, and if it wasn't for Rorschach's action, Jack would have been killed by "self-detonation" at this time.
Unfortunately, the two of them followed the thin transparent line that Rorschach had followed earlier, all the way to the intersection of a sewer, which looked to be beneath the Assassin Guild in Ash City, according to their senses.
Then, the thin thread broke right here.
At the four junctions of the sewers, the unknown man painted four smiling faces in dried blood, as if mocking the naivety of Jack and Rorschach.
The clue was broken, and this trip to the sewers was fruitless, and three police officers died.
After that, Rorschach plans to go to Viscount William's manor to investigate, and Jack certainly wants to go with him - it's such a fun thing that everyone wants to get involved in, right?
Unfortunately, he was stopped by Rorschach, because he was too weak now - but it was true, Jack was only a one-ring magician, and even if he took out his gun, he would not be able to help a warrior and mage above level 5 if he didn't get close to the sneak attack or [world].
So this should be a novice village, why are there so many high-level NPCs!!
However, the real world is not a game, so how can it work according to Jack's idea? There is no way, he can only take a bunch of magic that he bought cheaply, take Tifa with him, and go home first.
――――
If you want to complete the mechanization of magic in this world, you have to learn magic. And when learning magic, the most important thing for Jack is not to use the science of his previous life in this world, after all, the world is different, and all kinds of parameters are not necessarily the same. But of course, the science of the past life is still helpful to this magical world, it can give Jack a lot of inspiration, and let him understand how to learn and deduce systematically.
The so-called science is not actually a definite theorem, but a method of thinking, a logic that summarizes the objective world, derives a self-consistent hypothesis, and uses the objective world to test it, and this kind of scientific thinking is also applicable to the magical world.
Jack didn't want to use the so-called meditative perception method to idealize the structure of runes and magic, and his opinion was the same as that of [the questioner] Suvin Parry, in order to learn magic, you had to learn it objectively.
However, it is a pity that even after all these years, the Arcane Council's understanding of runes and magical structures is still very superficial, and they are basically similar to Jack, knowing what these runes are used together, but they don't know what the connection between the runes is, and why these runes can do these things.
It's like a person who knows that an apple will fall from a tree, but doesn't know why - even so, modern theorist magic is still much more advanced and easy to learn than the ancient perceptual school, which has led to a massive increase in the number of mages.
But three days passed, and Jack didn't look through the books he got back, he wasn't lazy, huh...... Although I played with my sister all day, it wasn't lazy, right?
Jack had actually been studying the magic mark he had gotten, and according to Safina, the magic mark had the ability to be inherited, but different mages designed different conditions for inheritance - perhaps they all wanted to find the smartest and most gifted inheritor. But in any case, if he wants to improve his combat power in the short term, Jack feels that this kind of time-based spell must be of great help to him.
Over the course of three days, Jack experimented with various ways to transfer mana, and finally found a way to open the legacy in an experiment where he had to start delivering mana from a strange structure to the left of the center of the engraving that looked a bit like an alchemical sublimation symbol, which, by the way, would be 100% open and stop if he started to deliver mana from somewhere else.
However, this is not the end of the story, the inheritance that has been opened has brought Jack's consciousness to a strange illusion.
There was a large circular platform in the black void, and Jack appeared in the center of the platform at the beginning, and in front of him was a large open book, and the first page of the book was a passage of words that Jack did not recognize at all. He looked around, and on the platform, there were countless doors facing different directions - something like Doraemon's arbitrary door, which enclosed Jack and the book in the center, and above the entire platform, a huge bell was suspended, and Jack could easily see it.
After that, Jack spent the day looking up what the line was for, and he searched through 20 dictionaries in the library of Ash City, and finally determined that it was the language used by the ancient High Elves, as a foreign language wreath with no language talent. Jack first drew for two hours and learned the grammar of the ghost beast of the High Elves, and then translated the string of words word by word, and the result was roughly as follows:
"I've always wondered if war will push this world into the abyss, and I've always feared whether peace will bring us to perish together. The stars set, the sun rises, time wanders outside the world, we can control it, but it seems to be in control of us. But in any case, my inheritor, the time of the test has come. You'll need to find the door to escape from this illusion in an hour, and only then will I teach you the power of time. ”
Leonid Vladimir. ”
Jack looked at the tens of thousands of doors around him with some pain, and he thought that this could try to kill him.
He tried to open a door, and through a dark curtain, he came out of the other door, and the first hour, he returned in vain, and was sent straight out, and the second hour was the same.
Although he was a little desperate, he was shocked to find out that he could try to find a pattern or just try to find a pattern when he had helped him record the location and record the doors that had already been tried once, but during the fifth test, he was shocked to find out after accidentally opening a door that had already been opened once.
The door corresponding to this door is not the same as the door corresponding to the last time.
From this, it can be inferred that perhaps every time he entered the illusion, the door to the exit was changing.
God, I protest, this game can't be played!
