Buck carefully tugged at the tattoo on Nie Yuan's back and looked at it from beginning to end.

And above the palm, bursts of ripples emerged, like a precision instrument, scanning something.

This situation didn't last long, and after about two or three minutes, Buck patted Nie Yuan on the shoulder and said:

"I'm not aware of what you're talking about, but I can't confirm its completeness or incompleteness, and it's hard for me to dissect some of its properties in depth from a Level 4 abstraction source.

But there is another discovery. ”

"What is it?"

Nie Yuan turned his head to the side and asked.

Buck didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically, "What you suddenly made up in your brain now is a pair of wings, right?" ”

"Yes, just like the previous ones."

"And whether the wings, in your imagination, are flawed, even the slightest?"

"This ......"

Although Nie Yuan didn't know what Buck meant, he still calmed down to feel it, and after a while, he slowly shook his head and said, "There is no sense of flaw as you said, but that kind of incomplete intuition is always strong." ”

"Your instincts are most likely correct."

Buck spoke: "It's just that at the level of abstract sources, such cases are so rare that it can be seen that this abstract source is definitely not a derivative, but a real thing with an abstract source.

Since it is incomplete, it means that there is another part of it that is outward, or even the part that is out, even higher, than the painting you have obtained.

It's like a gold coin that has been broken into two petals, and no one knows which one has more gold, unless the two gold coins are put back together and compared. ”

Speaking of this, Buck paused, then put his finger on the angel wings on the right side of Nie Yuan's back, and said, "And since you don't have that sense of flaw, it proves that this ink is automatically generated by it, and it is different from the original." ”

When Nie Yuan heard Buck's words in front of him, he was thinking a lot in his heart, and when he suddenly heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "Ink? What do you mean? ”

As he spoke, he saw angel wings on his back, moving with his thoughts, and crawling to his chest, forming a front and back mirror image.

At this time, as soon as Nie Yuan lowered his head, he could see the place that Buck had pointed out.

There was indeed a pea-sized mass of ink, what appeared to be a complete painting, splashed with a drop of water that melted the paint and appeared a blurry distortion.

But this kind of tattoo that blends into the skin is not an ordinary pigment, so how can it be easily blurred.

As Nie Yuan said just now, in his fantasy, there is no such flaw.

At first, the angel wings that were manifested for the first time were also flawless, but now they are more familiar with depicting the same pattern through their minds, but there are ink stains, which is clearly something that should not be done.

Buck's next words answered Nie Yuan's doubts.

"If I'm correct," he says, "every time you use the power of this abstract source, the ink will circle even larger until the whole painting is completely blurred and distorted."

At that point, the source of abstraction will get out of control again.

The good news is that even if you've used Abstract Source Power a few times, the ink is only the size of a pea, and it looks like it will last a long time.

The bad news is that if you overdraw it too much, the faster this blur will grow.

This is also in line with the popular logic of using abstract sources, and there is a price to pay for borrowing its power.

However, the price of others may be your own life or even your soul, and because you have already accepted it, the price is converted into such ink. ”

Hearing this, Nie Yuan suddenly realized, and his heart moved again.

The angel wings on his chest returned to his shoulder blades and folded in a shape, covering most of his back.

In other words, it only temporarily subjugated me, although reluctantly, but it was already subdued by me, and had to work for me obediently until the day when its patience ran out? And this kind of ink is its resistance value, and when the resistance value is completely clean, it will want to run away with the bucket again? ”

"It can be understood that way."

Buck nodded and said, "Every time you think and describe, my eyes light up, Nie Yuan, as if this world is a game in your eyes." ”

"Ha ......"

Nie Yuan snorted and said, "Then can I pay it a salary, so that its patience value will be exhausted slowly, or even make up for the patience value that has been lost?" ”

Buck shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, you need to figure it out for yourself, but if you have to think about it this way, I think there is a way, maybe it can be regarded as paying it, and it must be happy to accept it, and you may even try to accept it for your own use in a real and permanent way." ”

Nie Yuan's eyes lit up and asked, "What is the method?" ”

Buck replied, "Find and take the same amount of what it has left behind, and for that kind of wages, it will surely take it all." ”

"Makes sense...... I still don't know what the logic is, but it sounds quite intuitive. ”

Nie Yuan said with a smile: "But the world is so big, where can I go to find its relatives who have been left behind, I don't know how many relatives are scattered, or how high the level is, in case the person who broke the gold coin at the beginning not only broke the gold coin into two petals, but dozens of half petals, scattered all over the world." ”

"It's possible."

Buck said calmly: "But it's not very likely, because it is very illogical to divide the abstract source into two or three parts, and let these two or three parts have independent characteristics, and each can breed its own derivatives.

Suffice it to say that the complete gold coin at that time must have been very strong, tough, and extremely high in gold content, which cannot be compared with ordinary abstract sources.

If you can still divide his body into many parts and seal it all over the world, just like the legend of the god splitting the demon king......

Then you may have a super abstract source that is powerful enough for the United Church to offer you, but it is also a sinful one. ”

Abstract sources also have limits.

Just like those equally mysterious derivatives, after the abstract source is subdued, it will dissipate without a trace.

If there is an abstraction source, it is so powerful that it can be divided into many parts, and it can still maintain its original characteristics, but the power level is reduced.

Then it means that the essence of that abstract source may be so powerful that it is like the legendary demon king.

Because only that kind of extremely strong thing can be divided into the body, split the soul, and lose the organs, and still allow each part to be decomposed to maintain extraordinary and stable characteristics.

That's why Buck will assert with certainty that there is only one thing that Nie Yuan has subdued, and at most two relatives are left behind.

"Wait."

Nie Yuan suddenly spoke, as if he remembered something.

He looked at Buck and said, "The world is too big for us to pinpoint where it was left behind, but ...... Maybe you can still find a clue, and it's in this royal city. ”

"How?" Buck asked.

"Prince Lawrence!"

Nie Yuan thought of something and said: "This painting was originally purchased by Prince Lawrence from other places, and Morris, who deliberately found fault in the back, wanted to bring back this painting, and it was also very vague.

Although he was not very good at his head and his acting skills were very clumsy, I could feel that they were reluctant to reveal their intentions, that they were deliberately hiding something, and perhaps in that prince they could find the clues we wanted. ”
