Chapter 35: The way forward
What Senior Xiao Zhou told him in the gray fog space, Ignatius has firmly memorized it.
He said - "To understand the secrets of this world."
This should be the occult knowledge that allows him to understand the world.
In a world where gods can influence the world and have real mysticism and extraordinary abilities, the "secrets of the world" should start here.
Although Igna's current knowledge of mysticism is currently limited to how to use his abilities, what things must not be provoked, and some ritual magic steps that he is not very proficient in.
However, as a direct descendant of the big family Abraham, Ignatius Abraham has a method to systematically learn the knowledge of occultism even when he is outside.
The brass ring he carried with him was the faction with the pseudonym "Li Langsi", which was used to learn the occult knowledge.
In that ring, the potion formulas from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 of the apprentice pathway were recorded, as well as the rich and systematic knowledge of mysticism.
The conditions for opening it are that you know the opening password, have a higher education degree, master more than three languages, and become a master-level figure in a field.
The original owner, Igna Abraham, holds a master's degree in music from the Aalto Conservatory of Music and is a well-known violinist in Warn Riet. And in addition to the Ruen language, he also mastered the Hermes language and the ancient Feysac language.
Therefore, Igna has no difficulty in starting the study of the occult, and he has ready-made teaching materials. The negative effect of the ring is that it will make people fall into a state of thinking for the same period of time after learning, but the elimination of the negative effect is also very simple, as long as after the study is completed, use your own blood to smear the "Abraham" mark on the inside of the ring. .
Ignatius didn't study occultism before, just because he didn't associate "going home" with "occultism".
However, He also said - "Become an angel of this pathway."
At this point, Igna only gradually understood what he meant after he began to study the occult.
In this world, there are extraordinary powers.
Through the exploration and summary of the predecessors, a total of 22 extraordinary paths with extraordinary abilities have been discovered.
Humans can acquire extraordinary abilities by taking a fixed potion formula.
Each of these extraordinary sequences starts with 9 and ends with 1.
Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 are called low sequences, Sequences 7 to 5 are middle sequences, and Sequence 4 has entered the threshold of mythical creatures from the beginning.
Sequences 4 and 3 are called saints.
Sequence 2 and Sequence 1 are called Angels.
The Abraham family, to which Igna belongs, masters the complete sequence of the pathway called "Apprentice".
Therefore, Igna's promotion path is very clear.
He needs to be promoted from a Sequence 8 Trickmaster to at least a Sequence 2 Planeswalker, or a Sequence 1 Star Key.
However, the promotion of the sequence is not easy.
All promotion potions can only be taken after the potions of the previous level have been completely digested.
Otherwise, there is a high probability that it will collapse into a monster.
Igna recalled the scene he saw when he crossed over.
Those eyes rolling on the ground, the nose falling on the grass, the flesh and blood scattered on the ground...
"Cough... Even if you want to go back, you must not be in a hurry. You have to take it slowly."
Digestion of potions is not easy. According to family history records, the genius with the fastest digestion of low-sequence potions takes at least three months to half a year, and more than three years is the norm.
After crossing the threshold of Sequence 4, it takes longer to digest the potion for each promotion level.
Each level of potion digestion takes three years to start. Moreover, every time you advance to a level, the time will be doubled.
According to such an algorithm, even a particularly talented person would need at least twenty-five years to be called Sequence One.
"That's why the Great Emperor has only been in this world for more than fifty years." Igna considered Roselle's life and Senior Xiao Zhou's words together.
However, facing a journey of at least fifty years, Igna is also mentally prepared.
Because this is in front of him, the only possible way to go home.
-
"The key to potion is digestion. It's not digging, it's not mastering, it's acting."
"The name of the potion is not only a symbol of the core, but also the 'key' of digestion."
"Summary of the rules of play will help digest the potion."
"And always remember, acting is just acting."
This is what Igna learned in the ring about how to digest potions and improve the sequence.
It just seems a little difficult to understand what "acting" is.
However, after Igna combined some case studies in the ring, it became a lot easier to understand.
His potion name and sequence is called "Master of Trickster".
"The focus of 'Trickmaster' is on 'acting' and 'fooling'. 'fooling' can be replaced by 'deception' in a sense."
"You can refer to 'swindler' and 'magician' in other ways, their names and meanings are similar to some extent..."
Looking at these explanations, Igna was helpless.
"So that's why 'I' must be a master juggler if I want to come to the circus to be a magician?"
"The well-known violinist and top student of the Aalto Conservatory of Music gave up a high-paying job and went to the circus to make a living as a juggler because..."
Ignatius remembered the titles that he often saw when he was on the earth when he swiped, and suddenly felt a little funny.
If there is a public account in this era, it is indeed possible to write a push with this title.
In this world, there are not many college students. It is even rarer to study music.
"Although you can't publish such words in order to act, haha."
Igna laughed dryly and didn't think any more.
In this world, for most people, extraordinary power is still a secret, and of course it is impossible to make it public.
"How am I supposed to 'play' the master of jugglers?" Igna thought as he fumbled for the ring in his hand.
"I've been a master juggler for so long, and I don't seem to have thought about summarizing any rules."
Ignatius wiped a cold sweat for his ignorance in his heart, while recalling his feelings about the performance this month.
"Well, number one, 'Do not perform unprepared'. Number two, 'Interact with the audience, immerse them in my performance and not notice the reality of my tricks'. Number three, 'Get and enjoy the audience's cheers'?"
"But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with 'fraud' or 'fooling'..."
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on Igna's door.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk-"
"Huh?" Igna, who was interrupted, was stunned.
Now that it's the break time after get off work, who else will come to him?
Igna put the ring in his hand back into his clothes, and then he straightened his expression and said:
"Please come in."
The door of the cabin was opened, and an unexpected person came in from the door.
