Chapter 64: Layers of Temptation
Sitting in the chair, Arthur's heart was spinning rapidly-
Suppose that [Tufuyu] is a unique and special text on the mysterious side.
The mysterious person should be familiar with [Tufuyu].
At least be able to grasp the basics.
In Malinda's eyes, he should belong to the mysterious side, and he should have mastered the basic [Tufuyu], but the other party still sent the basic [Tufuyu] as a reward.
It's definitely not that the other party is so stingy that they want to be shoddy.
With his understanding of this lady, the other party's style of acting is quite generous, and he will definitely not be tired of the key thing that affects cooperation, such as 'remuneration'.
Is that temptation?
Subconsciously, Arthur had an idea of the embarrassment that would happen when he went to the other party under the pretext that a real mysterious person would not have mastered the basic [Tufuyu], but you put the basic [Tufuyu] into the reward, which was a violation of the original promise of reward".
It's definitely him who is embarrassed!
Because, with this lady's style of acting, there will never be such an obvious loophole.
In other words, the rest of the book must not only be in line with the value promised at the beginning and comparable to the full version of [Swift Bird Swordsmanship], but also make the basic [Picture Complex Language] reasonable to the point that people can't refute it.
Of course, it would have been better if he hadn't discovered the temptation.
A guess came to the bottom of his mind, and Arthur's fingers tapped suddenly.
Without hesitation, Arthur raised his hand and picked up another book.
[Discovery of Diagram Compound (Advanced), Judgment ......]
[I didn't check to master the diagram compound language (basic), and the judgment failed!] 】
……
Looking at the text prompt in front of him, Arthur, who had been confirmed to guess in his heart, sighed in his heart.
'What a cunning collaborator! ’
Giving the basic [Diagram Compound] alone will make the previous promise ridiculous, but with the addition of advanced [Diagram Compound], it will be different.
It will only become: just right.
After all, no one can blame a lady who has already given the corresponding reward for 'advanced [Tufuyu]", and has sent the 'basic [Tufuyu]" with good intentions.
And, Arthur was sure that even if he had a grudge against it, the lady must have thought of making amends.
This is the way the lady behaves—
Delicate, subtle, yet generous.
It's just that......
'What does this lady want to do?' ’
'Why do you want to tempt me continuously?' ’
Is it because of the identity of the 'medium'? ’
Or was it because I suddenly stepped onto the stage of South Los? ’
'It can't be because of the Krados family, right?' ’
Arthur groaned as his finger tapping began to accelerate.
But without key information, he ended up with no results.
Eventually, Arthur's gaze turned to the foundation again.
For this key to the mysterious side, Arthur had hesitation in his eyes at the moment.
You know, in addition to being delicate, subtle and generous, that lady's style of acting has a greater characteristic: ruthless!
The ruthlessness of killing people without blinking.
Coaster, Aemond two can attest.
The family and chamber of commerce behind the two can also prove it.
Even, the smell of blood that cannot be concealed on the other coachman's body can be proven.
This delicate, obscure, but generous lady has tried him several times in a row, indicating the urgency of the matter.
So under such urgency, will the other party be anxious?
Yes!
Definitely!
With such a premise, is the logical temptation itself a little simple?
Is there a layer of temptation hidden by the other party?
Arthur looked at the book in his hand: the basics [Diagram Reply].
A bold guess ensued-
'There is a danger hidden in the basic [Diagram Language]? ’
'As long as the learner, will be swept up in it?' ’
Thinking of this, Arthur's eyes narrowed.
Because, this speculation is highly likely!
Compared with the logical temptation, if the basic [Tufu Language] contains anything, it is more in line with the style of mysterious side temptation.
Again, it made sense for the lady to do this—because: how could he, Arthur, himself a mystical person, not know the dangers of [Tufuyu]?
Arthur's narrowed eyes sparkled.
Eventually, he slowly put down the book in his hand.
If the unknowable danger contained in [Tufuyu] is only his guess, but there is one thing, Arthur is sure: the higher the spirituality, the higher the probability of encountering mysterious events!
Does learning the basics of Pictorial Language have an impact on Spirituality?
To put it simply, does the basic [Tufuyu] increase his [spirituality]?
The possibilities are high!
Since it is a mysterious text, it must be different!
It must not be taken as an ordinary word!
Now, 0.2's [Spirituality] has caused him to encounter unexplained weirdness twice.
Especially the second time, after he delayed a little, he had already developed to the point where [Death Intuition] was about to flicker.
So what if you add more?
Based on the principle that "the higher the spirituality, the higher the probability of encountering mysterious events", as the spirituality increases, the frequency of encounters with strange things will inevitably increase.
And the frequency has increased, and it is inevitable that you will not encounter things that cannot be handled.
When the time comes, he will be dead!
This kind of luck thing, Arthur has always refused.
In his opinion, ninety percent of the certainty is extremely dangerous.
Because of this, Arthur put on hold the study of the Hand of Nothingness.
'How do the true mystical people solve spiritual troubles?' ’
'What is the correct way to learn Tufuyu?' ’
Could there be some correlation between the two? ’
Arthur thought again.
After a full ten minutes, Arthur sighed, he shook his head slightly, and after holding these to the bottom of his heart for a while, he got up and pulled out the rightmost book in the third row of the bookshelf behind him.
Click!
With the sound of the machine spring turning, a dark grid under the desk appeared.
This compartment is located right in the center of the underneath the desk.
The cubicle wasn't very boxy, but it was more than enough to store two books and a scroll—Arthur touched the scroll curiously before putting it in.
[Discover the secret art, and the spiritual judgment is ......]
[The spirituality has not reached the minimum level of learning, and the judgment cannot be passed!] 】
[Yes/Do you consume 20 XP to learn this secret technique in an overload mode?] 】
(Note: Overloaded learning will change irreversibly!) )
……
Overloaded, irreversible, such words made Arthur instinctively refuse.
His instincts told him that it would be something more terrible than death.
Click!
As the books on the shelf were pushed back, the dark grid was automatically restored by the spring.
This is also the design of old Charlie.
The elder of the Credos family made seventeen compartments in the entire building at 2 Kirk Street, large and small, for the storage of guns and ammunition, as well as for medicines, and some of them were empty for the storage of valuables.
The most important thing about a medium is to be adaptable, and if you want to be improvised, you have to be prepared! ’
Old Charlie's famous words, the predecessor heard it.
And Arthur?
It is considered to be a wise saying.
So, after Arthur put away the two books and a scroll, he began to organize his mediumship box again, and then took 'Anna' into his arms.
Sitting at home and waiting is not going to find a solution to your spiritual problems.
He needs to take the initiative, he needs to use his feet to walk everywhere in Nanlos, and use his eyes to look for possible traces on the mysterious side.
Even though there is little hope, it is better than doing nothing.
As for bringing 'Anna'?
Just in case you run into the beggar.
Of course, you must bring an umbrella when you go out in South Los.
Ordinary umbrellas, with a single purpose, Arthur did not like.
He liked an umbrella with a sword hidden in its handle, which was both convenient and practical - the [Spider Claw] could not be carried openly during the day.
Under the new law, ordinary people are not allowed to carry swords on the street.
And, of course, firecrackers.
Although most of the time, no one really cares, Arthur's experience has taught him not to do such blatant things.
In particular, umbrella swords are not a rare item in Kirk Street 2.
However, just as Arthur walked out of the psychic hall and was about to pick out an umbrella sword, the door at the end of the corridor rang out very rhythmically-
Knock, knock.
This is the way Arthur and Wiggins agreed to knock on the door.
