In a few moments, the servant Buck came with three steaming cups, white in enamel and with classical and delicate patterns, plated with silver and gold in some places, and the trays were of ash.

Chris picked up the hot coffee and silently smelled the aroma of the coffee, he had not drunk coffee since he came into this world.

Ah, it's still that familiar smell.

Chris took a sip, put it on the classical marble coffee table, and looked respectfully at Oliver next to the coffee table:

"I'm sorry to bother the professor again, we've thought about it carefully in the past few days, whether it's really dangerous or not, we want to ask you for advice. ”

Oliver looked at them through the lenses with Irish's characteristic blue eyes for a few seconds, snapped his fingers lightly, and saw the servant retreat silently.

Oliver picked up the expensive sea snail-shaped pipe on the table, didn't light it, and said straight to the point: "Those are three magical creatures, also called transcendent creatures. ”

Looking at the confused trio, Oliver continued:

"In this world, there are indeed some creatures with incredible powers, which have been gradually discovered by human beings in thousands or even tens of thousands of years of human history.

"Humans study their species and special abilities, and in this long process, they are given names in different categories. These creatures of incredible power are collectively referred to as transcendent beings.

"Adult one-horned pegasus are a transcendent creature that lives in the Tryon River valley in Ireland, and they are similar to horses, with a snow-white body, a single horn on their forehead, and a pair of powerful wings. When they reach adulthood, they can spread their wings and soar in the sky. Among them, the single horn of an adult Pegasus has the effect of detoxifying all kinds of poisons, so it was once hunted by humans, and now the number should not be much.

"The Latin American grey cat, an extremely fast long-tailed cat, prefers to live in cemeteries and dark, damp places, and its spinal fluid has a special role.

"The Colorful Spider, a highly venomous spider that lives in the Bierjos Mountains, is named because of its bright colors. Giant spiders that can evolve into colorful spiders that grow for more than 1,000 years, and legend has it that there are nine-colored mini spiders further up. The saliva of the colorful spider is a life-saving medicine that can bring the dead back to life. ”

The three of Chris listened to it in a fog, after all, it was knowledge that they had never been exposed to before.

"Then how come we have never seen a book about it, seen or even heard of anyone talking about such creatures?"

Chris looked at the professor in front of him suspiciously, and spoke first on behalf of the three.

That's because the Nine Orthodox Churches have a monopoly on the books and strictly prohibit the dissemination of relevant information. ”

Oliver paused again and looked at the three people sitting nervously in front of him: "This knowledge transmission is guilty, do you still want to listen?"

After the three of Chris sat on the sofa and looked at each other for a few seconds, they nodded in unison, "Sir, we are willing to continue to listen to you." ”

Oliver got up and took out the fine tobacco leaves from the Messer County from the mahogany drawer, placed them in the sea snail-shaped pipe, and continued:

"The next thing to say is extraordinary.

"The essence of transcendent beings is the extraordinary power within them. All creatures and items with extraordinary powers can be collectively referred to as extraordinary, and the creatures with extraordinary properties in the knot are collectively referred to as transcendent beings. Items that are combined with extraordinary powers are collectively referred to as magical items......

"Magical objects can be formed on their own or artificially crafted. The latter has much less side effects than the former, and the Orthodox Church collects magical items that are more powerful and have greater side effects, which are collectively called seals.

"The most special of them is a person with extraordinary powers, who is called an extraordinary person. ”

Extraordinary......

"So how did these extraordinaries come about?" Chris asked hurriedly.

"Most of the Extraordinary are made by swallowing potions, and a few are born with them, but if they are not guided, they can only be considered half Extraordinary. ”

Compared with Bert and Bonnie, who had no idea, Chris was even more shocked in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of the strange murder scene he saw that day.

The red-haired man who can flash, the dagger in his hand that can suck up human blood, and the corpse that dissolves into stone after death......

and, their own anomalies over the years......

Half an extraordinary?

Oliver lit his pipe, began to smoke a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and continued:

"Most of the extraordinary people in this world belong to the church and the royal family, and even those noble families that have existed for more than a thousand years. Therefore, ordinary people will not come into contact with the extraordinary in their lifetime.

"However, after the death of the extraordinary, their corpses will dissect all the extraordinary characteristics of his life, and if they are not preserved in time, they will combine with the surrounding things and become the magical items and even seals just mentioned, which are divided into four levels depending on the power and side effects of the seals. The highest level of Level 0 seals is now a death due to contamination at the slightest glance. ”

The seals are so terrifying!, the three of them thought to themselves.

Bonnie frowned nervously, and suddenly asked, "Then how did the most fundamental extraordinary power come from?"

Oliver gave the little girl an appreciative look and explained:

Here, we are going to talk about the origin of mankind and the emergence and development of gods.

"We all know that human beings were born from the wisdom of the Creator. After a long period of time, he not only has a smart intelligence, but also a strong hands-on ability and learning ability, and the greatest of these is the use of fire.

However, from the many creation myths, we can draw a simple and clear conclusion, that is, human beings have grown up under the protection of the gods.

"We all know that there are nine orthodox gods in the Northern Continent: the god of constant light and the scorching sun, the god of the sea, the god of storms, the goddess of the moon of a thousand faces, the god of the red silent war, the god of the forest and the mother earth, the god of the book of wisdom, the god of machinery and wisdom, the god of silent night, the god of darkness and death, the god of time and space returning to ten thousand gates, and the god of the silver dream mind.

In their major canons, it is roughly depicted that it is under the protection of the gods that human beings can fight against giants, demons, aliens, etc.

"In the Records of Machines and Wisdom, the Wisdom and the Sages, both mention the creation myth: the original Creator awoke from chaos, broke through the darkness, created the first rays of light, and Himself was completely integrated into the universe, incarnated into all things, His body became the earth, became the stars, His eyes became the sun and the red moon, and part of His blood rushed into the sea and rivers, nourishing and giving birth to life......"

The Book of Machines and Wisdom is a book written by the Church of the God of Machines and Wisdom to declare miracles among the congregation of the Republic of Ireland.

The Bert family and the old Cole family both believe in the "gods of machines and intelligence", so Chris has seen all three of them.

In fact, in the Nine Righteous Churches, whether it is the gods of machine and wisdom, the constant light and the scorching sun, the gods of the forest and the mother earth, or the gods of the storm and the goddess of the crimson moon, they are all similar descriptions, and they do not exalt themselves alone, nor do they belittle other gods. It's like a unified voice, with compromise and tacit understanding......

Bonnie on the side nodded hurriedly, indicating that she knew this.

"His brain became a dragon, his lungs into elves, his heart into giants, his liver into treants, his gallbladder into nightmares, his kidneys into feathered serpents, his spleen into undead birds, his pancreas into ghouls, his hair into medusas, his ears into wolves, his throat into vampires, his mouth and teeth into xenos, his remaining bodily fluids into sea monsters and mermaids, the essence of which is the naga, his stomach, his small intestine and large intestine, The evil parts of His body evolved into demons, evil spirits, and all sorts of unknown evil beings, and His spirit became the constant light of the sun, the god of storms, the god of wisdom..."

Sitting in a row and eating fruits, you and I are one by one, is there a pig's brain in the middle?

Chris thought of it in his heart, only to hear Oliver continue:

"Out of His wisdom gave birth to humanity, and this is the First Age, the Age of Chaos.
