The old samurai from the island country is obviously a person who misses his hometown very much, and he is obviously in North Africa, but he has built a quiet mansion full of Zen as a whole.

After a good night's sleep last night, Andy saw it all the next morning.

Leaning in front of the lattice window of the bedroom, if you look down slightly, you can see that the frightened bird made of bamboo tubes under the window is constantly fetching water back and forth.

Tick-tock, with a clear sound.

Not far away there is also a beautiful stone lantern carved with some elaborate hieroglyphs.

Farther afield, gravel and moss form the path of the yard, flanked by lush greenery and dewdrops.

Sophisticated, elegant, and quiet, being in this courtyard can naturally calm people's minds.

"This is the power of the transcendent." A voice suddenly appears from the side.

Andy turned his head to see that the ugly man from last night was sitting in front of a small-leaved boxwood in the corner of the courtyard, constantly pruning the branches and leaves of the green plant.

"These plants could not have survived on this land, but in the hands of extraordinary gardeners, the impossible has become possible."

He didn't look back, but he obviously didn't know how to garden, and seemed to be moving around with scissors skillfully, but in fact the poor plant was getting uglier and uglier, and it didn't match the overall style of the garden.

However, it is difficult to dismantle, and Andy has no interest in embarrassing the other party.

"Are you ready?" He asked, tilting his head.

The two sides had an agreement last night to let him contact Chaofan today, so the reason why the other party is here now is actually self-evident.

"Honestly, there's nothing to prepare."

The ugly man patted his ass as he spoke, stood up, and picked up a black wooden box next to him.

"Semi-transcendents are not like real transcendents, who require cumbersome steps and massive resources to change jobs."

As he spoke, he had already stepped into the living room behind the threshold, and Andy had left the bedroom at the same time.

The two ended up sitting on either side of a coffee table in the center of the living room.

"What does a true transcendent look like? It's actually quite simple, let's take the profession of thief as an example. ”

The ugly man began to pretend to be advanced in front of Andy, a "foreigner", and showed off his tea-making skills, but that technique seemed extremely amateurish.

"If you become a thief, you'll be qualified to learn the three great abilities of stealing, stealth, and treasure hunting without any obstacles."

"But if you don't have a job, it's going to be very difficult to learn those skills as an ordinary person."

"How hard is it? Normal people may not be able to learn a basic ability in their lifetime. ”

"If you have a little talent, you can learn it after ten or twenty years of study, and then you will become what we call a semi-transcendent."

"But that's it, one or two basic abilities are the upper limit of semi-transcendents, high-level abilities, no matter how hard they try, they can't learn them at all."

"Because the essence of life of a semi-transcendent is very different from a truly transcendent."

As he spoke, seeing that Andy had no expression on his face, the ugly man smiled slightly and said:

"Don't be discouraged, after becoming a semi-transcendent, your condition will definitely be suppressed. It won't be long, but in the meantime, we can find a way to turn you into a true transcendent.

"That's how you can get the most out of your talent, otherwise it's a waste."

He said something similar last night.

Andy nodded his head in gratitude.

Seeing this, the ugly man said, "For a gifted person like you, according to our estimates, it will take a month to learn the basic abilities of a certain profession and become a semi-transcendent at the earliest. ”

"And, to be honest, it's the most optimistic estimate."

With that, the middle-aged man with light brown hair gently opened the black wooden box that he had placed at his feet before.

Inside the box were long wooden boxes in the shape of strips, and after they were neatly placed on the coffee table, the ugly man carefully opened them one by one.

Some ordinary-looking yellowed sheepskin scrolls appeared in front of Andy's eyes.

"Ordinary paper cannot be used to record the knowledge of transcendentals, and this kind of scroll, made from the sheepskin of the Eastern European Gatzt Devilhorn sheep, is very valuable."

"But what is even more precious is the uniqueness of the scroll."

"Uniqueness?"

"That's right, extraordinary knowledge is not just some written records, it contains special energy, without the assistance of this special energy, no matter how amazing your talent is, you will not be able to learn the hidden abilities at all."

And this energy will continue to drain as you learn. The exact number of times a scroll can be used to learn depends on the material of the scroll itself and the ability of the scroll scribe. ”

It's like a skill book in a game.

Andy thought to himself.

This is one of the reasons why the transcendent is monopolized in today's era, and there is no possibility of wide dissemination, and the learning qualifications of every ability are very precious.

You can see it from the careful look of the ugly man when he shows the scroll.

These scrolls, or these resources, which record special abilities, they don't have much inventory.

"The silent footsteps of thieves, the bullet affinity of gunsmiths, the trail tracking of bounty hunters......"

Seeing that Andy had no doubts, the ugly man began to point to the scrolls, explained their names and effects in detail, and finally said:

"Pick one, and try to learn it in a month, become a semi-transcendent, and let us be impressed."

"I do my best."

Andy said, reaching out and picking up one of them without hesitation.

"Psychic Spirit's Communication?"

The ugly man who was holding the teacup and trying to moisten his throat was stunned when he saw this, "What an interesting choice...... I mean, you're also gifted as a psychic? ”

"I've seen a lot of ghosts and ghosts."

Andy replied.

The ugly man let out a sigh of relief, and instantly remembered what Father Matthew had said about the boy's past.

Seems to have a mother who is not very reliable?

"Okay."

He then said: "However, it should be emphasized that psychic and exorcist are two different professions, although there are certain similarities, but the actual abilities are very different. ”

"For example, the ability you have chosen can only be used to communicate with spirits, not to purify, expel or force them to do anything."

At this point, the ugly man stopped talking, as if trying to persuade Andy to change his mind.

Because in his opinion, this ability is really useless.

Spirits are not limited to ghostly monsters, humans, birds, beasts, and even plants all contain spirits in their bodies.

So, the meaning of spirit communication is very clear.

But what's the use?

Be a beast language translator?

Or like the folk goddesses, passing messages between humans and spirits, giving the poor worms who have lost their loved ones a little useless comfort, and reaping a lot of money?

These usages, in the eyes of ugly men, cannot be said to be useless, only impractical.

Not practical for Andy.

It is not lethal and cannot be used in battle, but it can be used to tame animals and learn herbalogy.

But Andy's current situation is that he can't go out at will.

And even if he can go out at will, in his own country, there are actually no powerful beasts for him to tame.

As for herbalism?

Who would expect a country where deserts occupy most of its territory to do anything in the field of herbal medicine?

Lacking the necessary educational resources and knowledge, even if you are talented, it is half the effort to figure it out by yourself.

Besides, as far as the ugly man knows, Andy doesn't seem to have any talent in herbalism - he went to watch the church assessment.

All in all, the ability to communicate with spirits is not very suitable.

But considering the situation Andy is currently facing, it seems that learning other abilities will not help at all.

Even their group of senior transcendents can't openly confront the York royal family, what can they expect a child who hasn't grown up to do?

The ugly man didn't speak.

Not bad either.

He thought about it.

The ability to communicate with spirits can at least be used to play with birds and beasts.

For Andy's rest of his life, it was more or less a pastime.

"What are your thoughts on finding a place to escape the limelight?"

He then asked.
