Chapter 6: Transcendent Knowledge

By the time he arrived at the library, Mr. Isaac was already sitting at the front desk, reading the newspaper with his feet crossed.

"Good morning, Mr. Isaac."

Zhang Huaisheng took off his hat and saluted.

"Good morning, Zhang."

Mr. Isaac replied without looking up.

His energy was clearly focused on the newspaper in his hand.

Today's two blockbuster news deserve the attention of all Britons.

Zhang Huaisheng stood at the front desk, hesitated, and weighed his words: "Mr. Isaac, do you know that there are any books about the transcendent in the library?" ”

"Books about the Transcendental?"

Hearing this, Mr. Isaac put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at Zhang Huaisheng, and showed a very strange smile, as if he had expected him to ask this question.

"Zhang, do you also believe that there are transcendental beings?"

Not only do I believe, but I am.

Zhang Huaisheng said quietly: "Of course." In Donghua, many people believe in the existence of transcendent beings – a point that has been cited by The Times as evidence that we are a backward country with ignorance and superstition. ”

Mr. Isaac sneered: "The Times, heh, the mouthpiece of those capitalists and aristocrats, but many people still believe them. ”

After that, Isaac asked with great interest: "Is Donghua's transcendent being a 'Taoist priest'?" I heard that they are good at divination, qigong, can talk to the undead, and are also good at drawing magic runes. ”

Magic runes?

It's a talisman.

Zhang Huaisheng reacted and replied: "Taoist priests are just one of them, and according to legend, many monks also have extraordinary powers; There are also some gods and witches in the countryside, and although the vast majority of them are swindlers who use tricks and magic tricks to deceive, it is said that a small number of them have real skills. ”

Zhang Huaisheng was a little surprised: "Mr. Isaac is very interested in these things? ”

Isaac looked at Zhang Huaisheng, his face still had that strange and slightly playful expression.

It can be seen that Zhang Huaisheng is a little weak-hearted.

Mr. Isaac bowed slightly, "That's right, even if the newspapers refute rumors every day, I still firmly believe in the existence of the transcendental, and I am happy to be friends with a transcendental being." ”

Although Zhang Huaisheng's face did not change greatly, he immediately set off a monstrous wave in his heart.

Did he see it?

Or was the mysterious book upstairs arranged by him at all?

What exactly is his purpose?

Zhang Huaisheng said with a strong smile: "Then I wish you Mr. Isaac to get your wish as soon as possible." ”

"I expect that too."

Isaac nodded, then stood up and said, "Let's go." I don't keep books that record information about transcendental beings. Since you're interested, I can take you to see it. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Following behind Mr. Isaac, Zhang Huaisheng couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

I don't know what kind of background Mr. Isaac is, is he an extraordinary person, or is he just an ordinary person with some eyesight? Have you really been seen?

For the next day, Zhang Huaisheng spent the rest of his day studying Mr. Isaac's collection of books on transcendent knowledge, in addition to dealing with the few students who borrowed them.

He was now beginning to feel that Mr. Isaac was just an ordinary person who had learned some extraordinary knowledge, because many of the contents of his collection were contradictory.

It is full of sentences such as "I guess", "I feel", "if", "maybe", "probably", "maybe".

If Mr. Isaac were really an insider, this kind of book wouldn't be in his eyes, would it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Huaisheng couldn't help but pat his head, the author who had just finished complaining about the previous book liked to use the word "should", so he used it himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huaisheng casually opened a book called "Extraordinary Secrets".

His gaze quickly swept over it, filtering out useless information and refining the essence.

Pregnant!

"The god of demons, one of the nine supreme gods, the contradiction of good and evil thoughts, the red knight in charge of war, the object of fear and awe of all demons."

I didn't expect that there really was a demon god, and he was called one of the nine supreme gods, so it didn't seem to be some wilderness evil god.

Zhang Huaisheng's eyes lit up and he continued reading.

"As the most special of the nine transcendent paths, the Demon Path does not need to take any potions, but needs to go through a ritual to devour the demons of the corresponding sequence. The acquired abilities are also related to the ability to devour demons. ”

"The name of Sequence 9 of the Demon Pathway is known: Evil Spirit - the corresponding demon that needs to be eliminated is the 'Evil Spirit', but the devouring ritual is unknown."

"Sequence 8 - Werewolf, Devouring Ritual: On the day when the red moon hangs high, you need to mix ink with 'silver powder', 'evening primrose powder' and 'white-maned gray wolf's hair', and engrave a circle on the ground, and the center of the circle is a werewolf of any species, as shown in the formation diagram (picture)."

"Sequence 7: Black Knight, Devouring Ritual: Grind the Black Knight's saber into powder and sprinkle it evenly around the Black Knight."

After that, there was none.

The author of this book, knows only these things.

But is there really such a thing as a werewolf or a black knight in this world?

Werewolves are good to say, there have always been many legends about werewolves.

But isn't the Black Knight another name for the Musketeers? The black-shirted knights of Germany were elite mercenaries who were famous in Europe in the past, so what does it have to do with demons?

Zhang Huaisheng quickly recorded this information, and if he wants to improve his ability in the future, he must master this knowledge.

It's just that these are just the words of one family after all, and whether the information is accurate or not still needs to be verified.

Isaac's voice suddenly sounded: "How do you look?" ”

"It's wonderful, and I have to feel that the imagination of these authors is very rich."

Zhang Huaisheng pointed to a book and said: "Ha, this book actually describes that in the Scandinavian mountains, there is actually a group of dragons. ”

"It's a fantasy."

Isaac had a playful smile on his face, "What if I told you that this was true?" ”

Zhang Huaisheng was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Is there really a dragon in Norway?" ”

Isaac nodded and said solemnly, "At least there were, because I saw the skeleton of a dragon in Norway." And the author of this book is William Hurt, a very famous explorer, an ancient man five hundred years ago - in his day, there may have been dragons. ”

Zhang Huaisheng opened his mouth, and wanted to ask, are you sure that the dragon skeleton you saw is not a dinosaur fossil?

But seeing Isaac's determined expression, he didn't ask again.

Yes, since there is transcendence in this world, it seems that the existence of dragons that spew flames and soar in the sky is not an unacceptable setting.

It's just that the style of painting has changed.,It's obviously the steam era.。

Mr. Isaac smiled and said, "It's hard to imagine, right? It took me a long time to accept it for someone I've seen with my own eyes, let alone you. ”

"yes, it's hard to imagine."

Zhang Huaisheng said with deep thought: "I originally thought that these 'myths and legends' would be far away from us ordinary people who are running for life every day. ”

"The emotion can be continued later, I think we should go and fill our stomachs first, you have been reading the book for a long time."

...

As his understanding of transcendent knowledge deepened, Zhang Huaisheng also had a certain judgment on his current state.

First of all, he is indeed a transcendent who has become one of the nine transcendent paths, and is currently in the new stage of sequence 9.

That mysterious book is supposed to be equivalent to some ritual magic, and opening it yourself is equivalent to triggering the switch of this ritual magic.

Secondly, the transcendents of this world are very dangerous!

There is only a thin line away from the kind of "red moon madman" often mentioned in the newspapers.

Because every transcendent being, like he did last night, will hear many crazy babbles, their origin is unknown, but the sound they make, like a plague, is full of "poison".

The way to improve supernatural abilities, referring only to the demon path, requires hunting the demon corresponding to the sequence name and devouring it through ritual magic.

And the abilities you gain are also related to the breed of hunting demons.

For example, if some people kill evil spirits, the ability they can kill is "Banshee Scream", and the ability they gain will also be Banshee Scream, not "visible and invisible" like themselves.

As for the other eight paths except for the Demon Path, he already knew the names of four, namely: the Hunter Path, the Mastery Path, the Butcher Path, and the Steam Engineer Path.
