Chapter 7: Doubts

The first is that Roman felt that he had digested part of his potion just after taking it, which may be that although Roman did not know how to play it, he was very successful in being a "warrior".

So it's not hard to understand that part of the "Fighter" potion is digested.

The role of "martial artist" is to constantly "fight", and in Roman's view, "fighting" includes both hand-to-hand combat and equipment fighting.

So looking at it this way, the middle and low sequences of the warrior path still seem relatively simple to play, and you only need to keep fighting.

Or at least you need to fight constantly, no matter what the other play needs are, combat is the core key to this approach to playing.

Therefore, the future role should also look for more opportunities to fight, of course, there is never a shortage of battles on the sea.

The "Fighter" potion brings a further improvement in physical fitness.

Perhaps thanks to the fact that he had already digested some of the potions, Roman felt that his current body was more than fifty percent stronger than his warrior self.

Including strength, agility, bounce, reflexes, etc., their sense of balance, coordination and body flexibility have also been further improved.

The specific improvement may still have to be better grasped through actual combat.

And Roman knows that after becoming a "fighter", his physique has also been greatly improved, and he can partially reduce the influence of extraordinary powers, and has a certain resistance to extraordinary abilities such as spells, quasi-spells, and mental shocks.

"This is a magic resistance."

Roman thought to himself.

In addition, a large number of fighting skills come to mind, and you can use your body more rationally to hit the enemy through different fighting techniques.

A martial artist's body is his best weapon, and the role of a martial artist is probably the process of getting acquainted with this "weapon".

These are all abilities that Roman can directly understand and improve by taking the Gladiator's potion, and they are also in line with his understanding of the warrior's path as a "half-trickster", although it is more powerful than he imagined, but it is nothing special.

Here's what makes Roman wonder.

Roman could feel that in addition to the above-mentioned regular "martial artists" abilities, he had gained an ability that could be described as "influencing the emotions of his enemies through words and actions."

It's weird.

As a "half-sophist", Roman has a certain knowledge of the abilities of various extraordinary paths.

In the stage of sequence 8, there are several similar abilities to exert a certain influence on others through words and behaviors, provoking the emotions of others.

Sequence 8 of the "Spectator" approach, "The Mind Reader".

But if the "mind reader" wants to achieve a similar goal, the core of the ability should be "guidance", through the cues of words and actions, to guide the actions and emotions of others.

In addition to this, there is also Sequence 8 of the "Thief" pathway, "Fraudster".

However, the ability of the "fraudster" is more through personal charm, persuasion through eloquence, and sometimes a certain amount of mental interference to achieve fraud and influence the behavior of others.

It can be ruled out, so there are only the last two sequences left.

"Provocateur" in sequence 8 of the "Hunter" path, and "Assassin", or "Witch" path sequence 8, "Instigator"!

Among them, the main supernatural ability possessed by the "provocateur" is to attract hatred, face the enemy who can communicate, provoke the other party through casual words and actions, such as targeted insults, and even a sentence and action, which can make the enemy lose his mind and be burned by anger. And for uncommunicable beasts and monsters, it can actively exude a feeling that makes them hateful.

The "instigator" is to provoke the evil desires in people's hearts, intensify contradictions, and provoke conflicts through charm, inducement, and persuasion.

Roman thought back to this knowledge, compared it with his current abilities, and found that they all seemed to be somewhat similar, but there was no sequence that could not be fully matched.

His current ability is more like a kind of provocation ability, using words and actions to make the enemy disgusted and disgusted, thereby influencing the other party's emotions and completing effects similar to "provocation" and "ridicule".

There are some weakened combinations like "instigators" and "provocateurs".

Roman suddenly remembered something.

It was when he woke up in Ban Si Harbor, and there was a faint layer of dark red light on his body in the mirror, and he didn't care about it when he first woke up, but it's still strange to think about it now.

Bansey Harbor, Bincy, Dark Red Shimmer, improved physical fitness, new abilities for the "Assassin" and "Hunter" paths inexplicably obtained.

Roman had a guess in his mind.

Isn't it possible that you've been polluted by the "City of Calamity"?

Roman, who is familiar with the original book and knows what kind of great horror there is in Bansey Port, feels that this seems to be a reasonable guess.

So the question is, how did you survive?

If it is really the "City of Calamity" that polluted itself through the seal, then how did he not lose his life and become a runaway monster under the pollution of the "essentia", or the old personality, and not only survived, but also gained the abilities belonging to the two sequences of the "City of Calamity"?

The knowledge that belongs to the old days in the original book, let alone contact, even if it is just known, it will be polluted, and the "essentia" and even the true god dare not touch it at will.

So why should I?

Or, not without a price?

Is the death of the original body the price?

So what am I now? Why didn't I go crazy and lose control? Instead, he gained the ability and obtained the "blessing", and when he thought of the knowledge of "outer gods", "starry sky", "old days", and "essentia", he would be shielded from the pollution of high-level knowledge?

Thinking of some details of the original book, Roman had a guess.

Isn't he a "dependent"?

Through the power of the Heavenly Venerable's seal, the "City of Calamity" has affected reality and itself, making itself an existence similar to a "dependent" and a "contact".

This is the association that comes from thinking of the fragment of the "Uncertain Mist" and the Tamara family mentioned later in the original book, guessing the state of the "Uncertain Mist", combined with the "City of Calamity" that he came into contact with, and his current state.

So, how did you come to connect with the "City of Calamity"?

The original as a vulgar warrior. It can be said that he is not proficient in ritual magic and various occult knowledge at all, and the mystery of this path has always been very low.

The original Roman did not perform any rituals involving "sacrifice", "association", "gaze", or "favor", nor did he know any related incantations.

If it is really the "City of Calamity", how does that affect itself? Just because I came to Banseyport?

This left Roman at a loss.

And Roman now almost does not know any ritual magic, for "prayer", "sacrifice" and other occult knowledge, rituals, spells, runes only stay in the understanding from the original book, the only slightly better rituals and spells, probably is to create a spiritual wall.

But even if he was good at ritual magic now, Roman didn't plan to try anything.

Just kidding, it's the "City of Calamity", it's essentia.

He is now a weak Sequence 8, a small warrior, and he has no ability to resist risks at all.

If you want to confirm your conjecture, take the initiative to try to pray to the "City of Calamity" and take the initiative to contact the "City of Calamity", or wait until you are promoted to a demigod, the demigod is not even safe, it is better to have an angelic personality.

Or, wait for Mr. "Fool" to have a demigod personality, and he can initially mobilize the power of "Source Castle", and under his protection, he can start an attempt.

Of course, before that, I also have to find a way to learn the occult knowledge, at least some preliminary ritual magic, so that I can contact the gray mist and join the Tarot Society in the future.
