Chapter 123: Victory, Plunder. Fusion, substitution
Placed the storage box in front of Mahal,
Naturally, Mahal reached out and opened the box.
In the middle of the box were several sheets of paper, and next to them were a few different things in a sealed glass container.
"Mr. Mahal, these are the potions you chose. The recipe and preparation process for potions are written on each page. In addition, we have prepared a finished product for Mr. Mahal for each potion. ”
Lao Chen said again, and then paused,
"Considering the possible discrepancies between our texts, I will repeat to you, Mr. Mahal, the recipe and process of the potion, and you can use your words to record it to avoid misunderstandings."
There were also blank pages and pens in the box.
Mahar listened to Lao Chen's words, and his eyes fell on the open preservation box,
Stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of paper with the potion recipe in the box, and looked at the contents on it,
Then he rubbed his hand lightly over the page, his head slightly raised, and looked at the corresponding potion in the box.
Looking at the special potion, Mahal's eyes flickered for a moment, even if he didn't take it, he could already feel the magic and mystery of the potion.
"I have some authority in wisdom and knowledge. The writing of the Maha people is also derived from the gift of the Lord. ”
Mahal explained the ease with which the world was strange and familiar to him, and also answered Lao Chen's questions.
Reaching out again, he was a little extra careful, picked up a potion, and looked at it carefully.
The potion he was holding was the potion of the god of light and the sun, and the potion with a warm glow was reflected in his gray eyes.
There was some anticipation in his eyes.
It's not just that the Bureau of Divergents attaches importance to the 'authority' of this from another world, different from the way the investigators of the Bureau of Anomalies gain power,
Mahar also pinned a lot of hopes on the potions of the Anomaly.
He carefully put the potion down again, and then carefully looked at the potion recipes.
There is no obstacle to the text on the potion recipe, and those materials derived from monsters are also written by the monster's real name.
"But it's better to trouble Investigator Chen to repeat it."
Mahar remained cautious and careful, and although he didn't go to get a pen to write down, he picked up the potion recipes.
"Okay."
Lao Chen nodded and looked at Mahal.
Mahal's earlier mention of wisdom and intellectual authority reminded him of her in the Anomaly.
However, after a slight pause, Lao Chen continued to repeat the potion recipe,
"The first potion recipe was the Light and Sun God Potion."
"The main ingredient of his formula is ......"
At a moderate pace of speech, it is convenient for Mahar to compare,
Lao Chen repeated the contents of several potion recipes in turn.
"The last potion is the Lord of Shadows potion, and the formula is ......"
“…… Mr. Mahal, is there any problem? ”
After retelling, he waited briefly, and when Mahal raised his head from the last page again, Lao Chen asked again,
Mahal shook his head,
"No problem."
In response, Mahal looked at Lao Chen again.
Although the potion formula is available, the Bureau of Variant has not mentioned some knowledge of the path of taking potions to improve ability, and the Bureau's understanding of it.
"You can take the same potion multiple times, or you can choose to take multiple different potions each time."
"The investigators of the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation generally choose one or two potions to take, but the main potion they take is still one."
"Every time you take a potion, you have to bear the influence and contamination of the potion, there is a risk of getting out of control, and different potions have different side effects after taking them, and the side effects are also recorded in the previous formula."
"As you take it more often, the side effects show signs of deepening, and it becomes more and more difficult to take potions each time, especially if you take the same potion multiple times...... It is best to wait a considerable period of time between each potion, at least to ensure that you can fully absorb the effects and side effects of the last potion. ”
"The power of taking the same potion multiple times does not weaken with the number of doses, but only increases with each dose...... Our guess is that potions may just be an introduction, and that the abilities we acquire are not entirely derived from the potions themselves. ”
"Of course, the impact on the rational consciousness and the body is also stronger and stronger every time......
"However, the main material of the potion can also be replaced, and it can be replaced with the material obtained from the more powerful monster of the same kind of monster, and the other auxiliary materials also need to be increased in the same proportion, or replaced...... These may need to be tried, and some of the ones we have are documented on the page. ”
Lao Chen said relatively carefully, and Mahal also listened carefully,
The pen and paper, which had not been used before, were used now, and although Mahal could remember this important information and knowledge himself, he still maintained the necessary caution.
"Of course, stronger potions can also bring stronger effects, as well as more powerful side effects."
"For people who take potions, it's best to let him know the potion formula or some related information, which may be the influence of some meme, which is conducive to potion taking."
"And the most important thing in taking potions is a firm will and a calm heart. This can make it easier for the person taking potions to get through the difficult time while taking potions. ”
After saying the most important information, Lao Chen stopped his words again.
This information is precious, and every one of them is the blood of the Anomaly.
"Mr. Mahal, you can take a potion with us once if you want, and if you want to try to make a potion, we can also provide some materials."
Looking at Mahal to stop recording the pen, Lao Chen said again.
Mahar nodded, and put the pages on which he had recorded the information into the storage box.
"Thank you. After that, I might choose to take a potion once. ”
"However, as I am about to face the crisis brought about by that Great Being, the side effects of the first potion may affect me. This is the kingdom of the Lord, and I still want to contribute some strength to the order of the kingdom of the Lord. ”
Lao Chen nodded at Mahal's words, and then didn't speak again, just looked at Mahal,
Based on Mahal's sincerity, the Anomaly Bureau has given the things of this deal first,
It was time for Mahal to continue his previous words and explain to the Bureau of Divergent Investigations the most important thing and the way to gain authority.
Mahal paused, and then looked at Lao Chen,
"The way we gain power and power may be far more dangerous than the way you take potions."
Mahal's gray eyes lifted slightly,
Lao Chen didn't say anything about it.
After a pause, Mahal continued,
"Take the 'sea god' this time as an example, if you want to get some authority from her for the storm and the sea."
"First of all, you have to defeat her first. Just like a newborn warrior, if you want to get the status of a warrior, you must naturally defeat another warrior. ”
"This victory must be separate and complete."
It's not surprising that you need to defeat the 'sea god', it's the main potion ingredient of the Abnormal Tune Bureau, and you have to kill the monster to have it.
However, from Mahal's words, this 'victory' is clearly mystical, even ritual.
“…… This is the first step in the ritual of gaining authority, the sadhana. ”
As if he understood what Lao Chen was thinking, Mahal looked at Lao Chen and said.
Hearing this, Lao Chen paused.
Earlier, I told Mahal that the advent of the 'sea god' this time was an opportunity for the Bureau of Anomalies to gain authority.
He naturally thought about this.
But now, the first step in the ritual of gaining authority, as described by Mahal, dispels that possibility.
Yin Hu, who wields the power related to the storm, will not be able to defeat the 'Sea God' alone.
"But there are tricks to this victory. Defeating a monster in its heyday and a monster that is weak and almost dying out is no different in the ritual of plundering power. ”
Mahal continued.
Lao Chen nodded.
But even if the 'sea god' is defeated to almost extinction, and then let Yinhu defeat her 'alone',
This is an extremely difficult thing to do, and it is difficult to do even the first thing.
"Then, there's plunder."
"Defeat her, plunder her!"
Mahar continued, his body straightening a little, his gray eyes a little sharp for the first time.
"Plundered her body, plundered her followers, plundered her kingdom, plundered her existence, plundered everything she had...... Then they robbed her of her authority. ”
Mahar's words seemed to be full of blood and cruelty, and that was what their terrible world had mastered, the way they acquired power, everything they had to live on.
"If it succeeds, it steals her position and authority. If she fails, she will be strengthened. ”
"We call this the enthronement ceremony. From man to God's authority. ”
Lao Chen listened to Mahal's words and didn't speak.
Mahal paused, seemed to look in the direction of the house, and continued,
"The first strength of the Maha people came from the gift of the Lord, and after the Lord left, in that desperate land abandoned by the Lord, all our strength came from plunder. The ritual of our acquisition of power is also the blood of the Maha people. ”
Lao Chen nodded, and then looked at Mahal.
The approximate process of gaining authority, Mahal said, but the specific way,
For example, how to plunder, but I haven't talked about it yet,
"Stealing authority is a dangerous thing, and the process of plundering her is the most dangerous place...... We also refer to this process as fusion and substitution. ”
"Merge with the monster you defeated, the Scroll, and then replace her...... She must be defeated by you, even if it is in a clever way...... There seems to be a somewhat mysterious relationship implied. Only by facing the monsters you have defeated will you have the possibility of success later. ”
"Firm will, sanity...... A spirit capable of bearing it all, an equally calm heart, and some wisdom. ”
Mahar said to Lao Chen again, Lao Chen nodded, and for these important information, naturally there are still people to record.
"The Mahals tend to gain authority, often starting with monsters who have only a little bit of authority...... However, not all monsters have authority...... Even in its humble power, it is fundamentally different from the weakest of the monsters......"
Mahar began to talk about some details, how to plunder, how to steal. How to merge and replace.
These are the most valuable pieces of knowledge that the Maha people have mastered.
Lao Chen listened carefully until Mahal finished speaking,
“…… This is the knowledge we have, but even if we do it, we will still fail. ”
"It may be that the Maha people have mastered it, and the ritual of obtaining authority is not perfect enough, and it may be that people are trying to steal God's authority, which is itself a matter of easy failure."
After Mahal finished speaking, he paused and said something more.
Lao Chen carefully recalled the contents that Mahal had just narrated, although there were personnel from the Abnormal Investigation Bureau who specially recorded these contents in the back.
But Lao Chen himself still wrote down this information himself.
Regarding Mahal's last words, Lao Chen was not too surprised.
It's like taking a potion, no matter how much preparation you make, the side effects and effects of the potion itself are there.
In taking potions and gaining authority, failure is inevitable.
"Mr. Mahal, thank you for this knowledge."
"This is our deal...... You can try to gain some authority with a weak power, but if you don't have the body and will to be strong enough, I don't recommend that you carry this authority yourself, and it's better to use some special items. ”
"In addition, if you want to use this to increase your strength and deal with the crisis brought by that great scroll, it may be a little too late."
Mahar said again.
"Thank you, Mr. Mahal, for the reminder."
Importantly, the mutual trading of the two ways to gain power has been completed.
Lao Chen stood up again,
"Then Mr. Mahar can rest first, and when we really face the crisis of the sea god's arrival, we will ask you to take action."
"This is the kingdom of the Lord, the land of dreams of the people of Maha. This should be a place of order and peace. I am willing to pay my blood for the sake of the order of the kingdom of the Lord. ”
Mahal also stood up, only to reply.
He really didn't want to see the kingdom of the Lord, the land of the Maha people's dreams, become his world.
"Thank you."
Lao Chen said solemnly,
"If there is anything that needs to be communicated, Mr. Mahal can ask our investigators. Please also Mr. Mahal do not mind. ”
Outside this room, there are two elite investigators from the Anomalous Investigation Bureau.
It's not a guard, but it's definitely surveillance.
"Our world is far more brutal than here."
Mahal shook his head, he had some wisdom and authority, and he always had insight into many things.
His world is crueler than here, and the way he does things is the same.
Lao Chen nodded and was about to leave.
The authority acquisition ceremony was important, so he came.
And now that the matter is over, in the face of the Poseidon advent crisis, he, a senior investigator, also has a lot of things to do.
It's just that just as he was about to turn around, Lao Chen paused again,
He lowered his gaze and looked at Mahal's hand.
"Mr. Mahal, I wonder if the special items you carry your authority can be replaced."
"If we can, we're willing to exchange this bone fragment for a special item and some potion recipes."
After a pause, Lao Chen asked.
It's almost certain. The Lord of the Maha people is the 'rat'.
And this bone fragment in Mahal's hand is the 'holy remains' of the Maha people.
If he could, Lao Chen still wanted the mouse to really return to his hometown.
"This is the holy relic of the Lord, all that is the Maha people, and the glory of the Maha people."
Mahar lifted the bone fragment in his hand and looked at it.
Then he raised his head again, looked at Lao Chen and paused.
"I still have a relic here. No trading, no exchange. I can give it to you. ”
Mahal took out a similar bone fragment from his clothes and carefully handed it to Lao Chen.
Lao Chen looked at it, stretched out his hands and hands, and took it with the same care.
Whether as the master of the Maha people or as a senior investigator of the Bureau of Investigation.
"This is a kingdom that is patronized by the glory of the Lord...... This is the kingdom of the Lord. I hope you will uphold the glory of the Lord. ”
This holy relic was handed over to Lao Chen by Mahal, who took it and nodded.
He looked at Mahal again and thanked him.
Lao Chen took this bone fragment, turned around and walked out of the room step by step.
Mahar stood and watched Lao Chen walk away with the bone fragment before turning his head back and sitting down.
Turning his head, he looked at the potions and potion recipes in the storage box on the table.
His eyes gradually lifted up in a daze, looking in an unknown direction,
"Master ......"
Murmuring sounds.
Immediately after, he lowered his head again and silently recited a prayer to the Lord.
And the other side.
Lao Chen, who went out, took the bone fragment, stopped several times, and then looked at the bone fragment in his hand.
There was no sound, no speech, only occasional brief flickering of the gaze.
