Chapter 3: Promotion to "Witch"
"Amplify contradictions and create disputes"——
This is what Varina realized in the streets, the key rule of playing the role of "instigators".
He believes that if he continues to play like this, it won't be long before he can try to be promoted, and he won't even have to wait for the feedback of the repeal of the law to come.
But Varina rejected the seemingly easy path.
Because he is not, and does not want to be, an indifferent person who disregards life. What's more, he may also be burdened with an extremely cold "negative personality".
Playing in moderation above the bottom line is the most suitable method for him.
Further, Varina understands that the root of temperance lies in self-criticism.
Only by always introspecting and maintaining self-reflection can we discover and correct self-deviations in time, so as to maintain ourselves and become the person we want to be.
In other words, to maintain one's own "humanity".
Varina knows that potions can also affect people's spirits.
Even in the demigod stage, this influence will be further condensed and become "divinity".
The higher the sequence, the more the "divinity" erodes the "humanity" of the extraordinary, so that they have to rely on the faith of ordinary people as an "anchor" to fight against the "divinity" and stabilize their "humanity".
Nowhere is this more evident than in the "abyss" pathway.
The extraordinary person of this path will completely lose his conscience in the general sense in Sequence 8, and will become a real outlier in Sequence 6.
Varina had concerns about her own peculiarities, but she couldn't afford to give up on promotion.
Then all he can do is to be careful and try his best to maintain balance.
……
After a trip to the lower street, Varina seemed to have done nothing, but in fact the harvest was not small.
He began to live a low-key life in the "middle street", occasionally provoking some arguments and brawls, or something like "honest man eruption".
In the process, he stumbled upon Crane's sister Melissa.
Through covert tracking, he was able to determine the specific address of the Crane family, and also met their landlord-
Mr. Frankie, who often referred to himself as "no one is more forgiving."
To tell the truth, Mr. French, who is diminutive, looks a bit gentleman when he is not talking, dressed in a suit of clothes.
February 27th.
Varina learned from the newspaper that the specific implementation plan for the repeal of the Corn Laws will be put to a vote again after two revisions.
March 5th.
This is a critical day.
His Majesty King George III formally signed the Decree announcing the implementation of the repeal of the Corn Laws.
March 10th.
This is also a relatively important node.
Varina felt the first wave of strong feedback from the play.
This is most likely due to the loss of profits from imported low-priced food on the market.
It was also on this day that Varina decided to prepare two kinds of flower juice for auxiliary materials.
There is more than one flower shop on Daffodil Street, and there are even more daffodils in every one.
Golden mandalas are relatively difficult to find, and Varina finally bought two at a high-end flower shop with a greenhouse in the Golden Sycamore District.
This is because the flowering period of the two is different.
Spring is the flowering season for daffodils, while mandala flowers are in summer.
March 13th.
This is a milestone.
In the afternoon, in the Wild Heart bar, after instigating an incident of "excessive defense", he once again felt the wonderful state of complete digestion of the potion.
It was a wonderful sense of relief in the unity of body, mind and spirit, and there was an illusory sound of shattering in my ears.
Varina immediately returned home and fell into a deep sleep with the help of meditation.
He's going to use his best form to advance to Sequence 7.
At eight o'clock in the evening, after Varina raised the "Spirit Wall" in the room, she began with a routine occult video call with Qili.
Basically, every three or four days, there would be a brief phone call between them to say something inconsequential.
It has to be said that in terms of transmitting messages, the "witch" method of communicating across long real distances with the help of the special features of the "mirror world" is simply the best in all sequences.
You know, Tingen is nearly a thousand kilometers away from Beckland.
The only way to communicate over such a long distance in the middle sequence is the Spirit Messenger, except for the "séance ritual" of Edwina Edwards, the Iceberg Lieutenant General.
All three of these methods are with the help of external forces.
Both Qili and Edwina have the power of the gods, and the messenger itself is a spirit creature and a type of external force.
However, in terms of simplicity, it is still the "witch" that is the strongest.
There is only one thing for Varina to do -
That is to find a mirror, apply the communication paste to the mirror surface to provide coordinates and nodes.
Even Qi Li's side is not too complicated, only need to arrange a ritual magic that is not too difficult...... After a few phone calls, he understood how the ceremony was arranged.
Of course, he would never use this ritual.
……
After the call, Varina removed all the extraordinary items from her body and set them aside, then took out all the materials and began to prepare the "witch" potion.
Pure water and flower juice are prepared in advance, and tools are already available.
He added 80 milliliters of pure water, 5 drops of golden mandala juice and 10 drops of daffodil juice to a large beaker, and finally put in three shadow lizard scales.
At this time, the liquid in the cup takes on a surging gray color.
The auxiliary materials are followed by the two main potions materials.
First, the black oily blood of the Black Abyss Demon Fish, which was added to the beaker and floated above the gray transparent liquid, the two did not blend with each other.
Finally, the eggs of the agate peacock.
When added, it spontaneously floats up and down between two layers of liquid.
A glass rod is inserted into the beaker and after a few stirring turns, all the ingredients come together.
The finished "witch" potion is a deep blue-purple color, with a wisp of smoke-like black roaming through it.
Varina stared at it for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth and drank it down.
Grunt! Grunt!
The icy potion went down his throat, and a cold came from the inside out.
In the process, Varina felt a huge stream of information rushing into his mind, some like bursting bubbles, others like long whispers.
Varina's brow furrowed deeply, and the veins on her forehead began to bulge......
This feeling is somewhat similar to the "state of reasoning", although it is much stronger, but he can still hold it.
Soon, more changes appeared in Varina's body.
He fell to the ground weakly, his hair swelled wildly, the bones of his whole body were slightly deformed by the power of the potion, and his body began to become curvaceous little by little......
"Hmm-"
A soft moan rang out, and Varina got back to her feet.
She glanced at the figure reflected in the round mirror on the table, and then turned her gaze to the yellow ID card next to her.
On the line of the name, it reads "Valera Kaldwin".
