Chapter Ninety-One: Irregular Gatherings
The next day was near noon, and Gleilynt finally woke up from a good night's sleep.
The first thing Glerint did when he received the newly arrived telegraph from Alister was to send a telegram to Darnell, informing him of the communication frequency band he had set.
After all, this is Admiral Basel's instructions, and there is no need to be dismissive.
After confirming that Darnell had received the telegram, Glerint gave Jim the task of "guarding the telegraph" - he still didn't trust Shirley and Alister enough. And it's not a difficult task anyway, Jim can receive the news in time even if he sleeps and guards, and he can pray directly to Gleilynt to deliver the news.
At most, Jim has not learned the translation of telegraph signals, so he can only give him the original message directly.
During this time, Alister had already learned some common knowledge of the occult, so he had more and more respect for Glerint! In his understanding, the master who can accept and respond to prayers is actually a half-human and half-god......
However, Jim, who also knows Glerint's prayer rituals but behaves heartlessly, is nothing unusual at all - in his worldview, Glerint is perfectly normal for anything. If anyone thinks Glerint is acting strangely, it must be that something is wrong with him...... After all, his entire worldview was taught and nurtured by Gleilynt. In his mind, Glelint was naturally "absolutely right".
————————————————————————
On Sunday, Joan had wanted to take a day off today, the same day as Glerint, but her request was rejected by Morgan on the grounds that Marcus also happened to be on vacation today.
Gleilint was doing nothing to teach his men some extraordinary knowledge.
The next day, Monday, Glerint applied for "2-29" again and began his own paddling survey routine. On the surface, he seems to be very busy and very active in interviewing ordinary people, but in reality he is mainly playing the role of "barbarian".
For all the ordinary people who came into contact with those few Indisian merchants, his approach was to "barbaric" direct inquiries about the situation, supplemented by "2-33" to confirm the authenticity and falsehood. Or "savage" and ask directly in their dreams. However, he was very restrained, and he did not rely on his extraordinary ability to probe into other people's private information at will. This is not only out of politeness and morality, but also a kind of restraint on one's own heart.
As for the secret and extraordinary party at the Hagatti Bar on Monday night, Glerint asked Shirley to attend with a "different pocket watch" after giving some necessary information. He was going to let Shirley go to this party in the future, and try to get in touch with the "pit viper" line, and even try to join the "Gnosis Society".
The only thing that is not so good is that when Glerint attended the party before, he used the height of the Fursak "Albert", which was indeed too tall, and the different face pocket watch could not pull Shirley to this height...... However, this is not a big problem, after all, it is very reasonable for people who participate in such secret gatherings to disguise and change their height to a certain extent.
That same night, Shirley brought back the last piece of material Jim needed for the Decryptor Scholar's potion:
"The Heart of the Mutant Lava Octopus"
The next morning, under the watchful eye of Glerinte, Jim successfully completed his promotion.
The "Decryption Scholar" encompasses four areas of extraordinary ability:
The first is the mastery of occult knowledge, part of which needs to be learned by oneself, and part of which is the knowledge contained in the potion itself, but this also needs to be mastered by oneself.
The second is "decryption", which is mainly reflected in the improvement of observation, association and derivation ability, which allows a "decryption scholar" to restore the truth of occult events or foresee the development of things from clues. It can analyze mysteries such as dreams and illusions, and can also find out the location of the "witch" through analysis.
The third is the enhancement of spiritual intuition, which has a significant improvement in the value of "sensing" something, and with the second extraordinary ability "decryption", he can even directly determine the sequence level of certain items.
The last one is the "divination" shared by the three families, the difference is that the "soothsayer" can complete the divination in sequence nine, while the "apprentice" and the "thief" can only divinate in the seventh sequence, and their divination is not as simple as the "soothsayer" and requires some simple rituals. Of course, the "divination" of sequence seven is definitely more powerful than sequence nine.
For example, after Glerint had the "Chain of Arcanes", the "Change" gold was no longer applicable, and he gave it to Afra to use. As for why he didn't give it to Jim, it was because the extraordinary person with divination ability himself could not have the effect of "1+1>2" when using divination items, and would only use the stronger of the two as the standard, and the other was meaningless.
————————————————————————
In the blink of an eye, two and a half weeks have passed in a flash, and the time has come to April 12.
During this time, Basel did not give instructions to Glerint. On Glerint's side, because both he and Morgan have the idea of delaying time, whether it is the scattered investigation clues given by Morgan or his own investigation progress, he regards it as his own "play" need.
After such frequent playing, supplemented by summarization, revision, and verification, Glerint has roughly summarized the rules for playing the "barbarian":
1. The goal that cannot be persuaded by words will be put into force.
2. "Barbarism" can be the use of violence to break certain existing "rules" to a certain extent.
This point was deduced by Glerint based on the entire path of the "Black Emperor", and it was found that this was indeed the case. This is closely linked to the third point:
3. No matter what method is used to persuade the other party, it is seeking its own interests.
The rules that are broken with strength are also meant to serve themselves!
By analogy, Glerint also speculated that the same is true for "bribe-takers", and the core of "bribery" should also be to seek improper benefits.
After such repeated playing and summarizing, Glerlint's "Barbarian" potion has been digested by about 7 percent, and since he has summarized the rules of playing, his next potion digestion speed will be significantly faster. If played normally, it is estimated that the digestion of the "Barbarian" potion should be completed within 20 days, and it is expected that the promotion can be achieved in early May.
At this time, nearly 3 months had passed since Glerint took the "Barbarian" potion.
…………
On this day, Glerint, who was also trying to play the role, suddenly received a summons from Alister, telling him that the "Arm Bone Bar" would hold a party of the Extraordinary tomorrow.
Glerint was a little embarrassed when he received the news, if he really wanted to use "2-29" to track down the members of the "Rose School" who were inquiring about the news, he could do the same in the extraordinary gathering of the "Hagarti Bar". And the reason why he didn't do it was because he consciously cut off his thinking? Makes Morgan think that he only noticed that the "resentful spirit" only appears in the "Arm Bone Bar", so it is better to track down the "Rose School" members in the "Arm Bone Bar".
But now I'm planning to fish and paddle...... Even his plan to "investigate ordinary people" has only been completed by 2/3.
At present, the only valuable information on Glelint's side is that a certain rich man who has a competitive relationship with those "Intis merchants" has "bumped into ghosts", and that is a wizened man. So the rich man was so frightened that he didn't continue to compete with the other party.
This is obviously the "resentful spirit".
However, what Glerint didn't understand was that these Intis spies were so stupid? When he was on a secret mission, he actually exposed his accomplices to the eyes of ordinary people! Or is this something that the "resentful spirit" deliberately exposed? But the connection between these two parties seems to be very close? Even willing to help the other party deal with the small things in ordinary business, he has no reason to do this?
Obviously, it is impossible for Glerint to ignore the situation on the side of the "arm bone bar", because it is contrary to normal logic and will definitely arouse Morgan's suspicions.
Therefore, he could only hope that the members of the Rose School were not too dangerous, and at the same time, there were no substantive clues.
It's best to be happy!
If something really is found, it will definitely be extremely dangerous for Glerint!
Of course, the same is true for Morgan.
