Chapter 154: The Apprentice's Ability, the Digestion of Potions
This is the reaction of a normal person when he drinks a potion.
Townsend didn't have anything to do about Mr. Red's current situation, and it wasn't long before Mr. Red finally relaxed, as if he had collapsed, his clothes soaked with sweat.
"Congratulations, you're an apprentice now." Townsend said expectantly, "Do you feel anything different?" β
Mr. Rhett still had a horror in his eyes, and it was not until he could see Townsend's face that he calmed down a little, and he shook his head, and said, "I don't seem to feel any difference except that it seems to be a terrible nightmare. β
"The transcendent in Sequence 9 doesn't make you superhuman all at once." "But compared to a soothsayer, the apprentice still has some special abilities. β
Tang Sen slammed the door shut and said, "Try to see if you can get out of this door." β
"Going out?" Mr. Red stood a little sluggishly in front of the door, stretched out his hand behind the door, and suddenly murmured, "I seem to have a feeling." β
The next moment, Townsend saw him take a step forward, and then the whole person disappeared.
"This is the ability of the apprentice, and the doors and walls without the influence of supernatural power cannot stop the apprentice's pace." Tang Sen was a little envious, to be honest, this ability is very practical.
And unlike myself, if I don't learn divination, I can't show anything extraordinary at all.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door, and Townsend stood still, and it wasn't long before he saw Mr. Red enter through the shelves of books piled high next to the door.
His face was free of horror, excited like a child who had found a new toy.
"Did you see that! The goddess is above! I can really do it! β
"I feel like I can do anything! It's amazing! β
Mr. Red chattered about his excitement.
"It's just a tiny bit of ability." Tang Sen poured cold water on him: "If you don't plan to be a thief, the effect of piercing through the wall may not be as big as you think, after all, you are still only Sequence 9." β
"Hehe, I'm smiling." Mr. Red scratched his hair and said, "It may be a trivial trick for you, but this is the first time I've come into contact with this kind of power, and I can't imagine what kind of abilities I can have if I continue to grow." β
"It's not that simple." Tang Sen said: "Although in the low sequence, as long as there are formulas and materials, transcendents can always be promoted, but if they are anxious or abrupt, they may encounter life-threatening conditions at any time. β
Potions need to be digested.
After taking the potion, if you drink the next sequence of potions without digesting it, then the potion is tantamount to poison, and it will be crazy at least and death at worst.
Of course, the Sequence 9 Transcendent skips a level to drink a potion, such as a Sequence 7 potion, or a Sequence 8 potion from another route, and is no different from seeking death.
Some similar sequences can be transformed into each other at high sequences, but that's not something Townsend has to think about at the moment.
The key is how quickly you digest the potion.
Playing is the focus of digesting potions, and the name of potions is the core of playing, for example, if you can understand the characteristics of this profession, grasp the essence of this profession, and empathize, then the progress of potion digestion will be greatly improved.
This is another reason why Townsend chose a soothsayer. In the original book, the protagonist Klein and gave himself a way, summed up a lot of experience, and was able to avoid a lot of detours.
"Divination is a part of life, but it is important to recognize that divination is not a panacea."
Townsend recalls how the soothsayer played.
"If it goes well, half a month should be enough to completely digest the soothsayer's potion."
Professor Rhett was finally starting to feel exhausted after excitedly trying out his abilities.
The use of power requires the consumption of spirituality, and everyone's spirituality is limited, the higher the sequence, the more spirituality, and the transcendent of sequence 9, such as the apprentice, is not qualified to squander spirituality indefinitely.
Professor Red finally went downstairs to prepare lunch, and the smell came up the hallway, but Townsend didn't choose to go downstairs.
It's not that he doesn't crave the taste of food, it's that he doesn't want to make himself more miserable.
In a cursed state, hunger would always torment him, and Townsend had slowly grown accustomed to this hunger, and he didn't want to remember the beauty of those good foods, and the pain of having it was enough to drive people crazy.
He just took two slices of cold bread and swallowed the clear water to make up for the energy needed by his body after losing the curse.
There is also a party tonight, I need to go in person, in order to avoid showing clues in the moonlight and startling others, Tang Sen has no intention of continuing to use the curse, of course, if there is danger, it is not a trouble to take out a gold coin from the sea of consciousness.
Then he found a book on divination on the shelf and read it carefully.
Queens.
The aristocracy's gatherings often preferred to be held at dinner time, probably because many nobles did not have the habit of waking up early, and they were only active in the evening.
Viscount Glerint's mansion was certainly not as ostentatious as that of Earl Hall, but was a detached villa with two fairly spacious and refined courtyards.
The carriage stopped at the doorway, and Mr. Red walked down with a smile on his face, and he habitually turned back to pick up Townesend, but was stopped by Townsend with a look, and then jumped out of the carriage himself.
At this time, Townsend looked decent and wealthy in a delicate black slim-fitting long gown, a silk top hat, and a face with black hair and black eyes, and as for Mr. Red, his outfit always looked a little extravagant.
The butler stood right in front of the gate, and after a courteous greeting, led the two men through the courtyard, into the villa, and into a separate hall.
Townsend noticed that there were already several people inside, and in addition to Miss Audrey, the daughter of Earl Hall, there were two other ladies.
"Mr. Red." Viscount Glerint greeted him warmly: "I beg your pardon for not going out to greet you, these two ladies have just arrived. β
He welcomed the two into the hall and arranged them on a comfortable sofa before asking, "Who is this?" β
His gaze fell on Townsen.
"This is my distant cousin, Reilly Baggins." "He is the closest of my relatives, and we often exchange occult knowledge, and this time he left his hometown and came to live in my house in Beckland," said Mr. Red. β
"Welcome, Mr. Baggins." The Viscount nodded lightly, and then introduced the two of them: "I don't think I need to introduce Miss Hall anymore, there are not many people who don't know her in Beckland. β
Audrey stood up and saluted, smiling, "Mr. Red, I've been looking forward to today's gathering, and of course, Mr. Baggins, welcome to you." β
"This is Forthth Wall."
"This is Hugh Dilcha."
Tang Sen looked at the two of them, showing no signs on the surface, pretending to be a well-behaved cousin.
The two men appeared in the original books, and if memory serves, they were both transcendental, with Foirth being apprentices like Mr. Red, and Hugh being called the Arbiter.
After the complicated introduction of the etiquette, Viscount Glerint got to the point: "These are friends to be trusted, and we often discuss the knowledge of the occult together, hoping to become transcendent. β
Well, Mr. Viscount, in fact all of you may be extraordinary.
Townsend thought with a wicked smile in his heart, and then heard the Viscount begin to introduce Mr. Red: "Two, you may be meeting this gentleman for the first time, Mr. Red is a very learned occult scholar, and besides, he has obtained the recipes for two potions, and we are trying to verify their authenticity. β
"Ahemβ" Professor Red interrupted the Viscount with a light cough, "Actually, it's been verified. β
"I can tell you for sure that both potions are real."
Everyone's eyes were drawn to him, and Mr. Red said with some hidden smugness, "Now, I am an apprentice. β
Townsend noticed that Forth's expression had changed slightly, while Audrey and Viscount's expressions had changed even more.
"You made the potions out of those materials yourself?" The Viscount exclaimed, "Mr. Red, I have to admire your courage to try and your ability to execute. β
No wonder it is a reckless man who dares to make contact with a hidden existence, and even to make a transaction.
This kind of impolite words are naturally just hidden in the heart.
"If you hesitate, you will lose." Mr. Reid uttered the famous quote of Russell the Great, and then said, "Didn't I study the occult for so long just for this day?" β
He smiled: "To be honest, when I drank the potion, I didn't have the slightest hesitation or worry, and my choice was to go on firmly, right?" β
The crowd applauded.
"Mr. Red, what does it feel like to be a transcendent?" The viscount asked curiously.
"It's not so much the feelingβ" Mr. Red stood up and walked to the bathroom door, "I think you'll be more able to appreciate it when you see it with your own eyes." β
The next moment, he stepped into the bathroom.
A low exclamation sounded, and at this moment, everyone truly believed that this reckless gentleman had really become an extraordinary person.
Soon, Mr. Rhett came out of the bathroom again, glanced at everyone's gaze, bowed his head in satisfaction, and said:
"The Sequence 9 potion doesn't make me superhuman all of a sudden, but it does do do some things that seem incredible to ordinary people."
"Of course, I'm just getting started on the path to transcendence."
"It's just a tiny part of it."
There is a change around twelve o'clock.
