Chapter 44: The Three Iron Laws of Extraordinary Power
"Before the Empire of Night?"
Historians divide the history of this continent into three stages. The first stage is the empire period, the second stage is the principality period, and the third stage is the kingdom period, which is the current era.
The Empire of Night is the empire that ruled the vast territory of the three kingdoms for thousands of years ago.
But in fact, it is inferred from the few remaining remains excavated.
In the history before the Empire of Night, there may have been a vast empire that worshiped dragons. The Empire of Night was established on the basis of the destruction of this empire.
One possibility for why there are so few traces of this empire is that that empire has been so far away from today, and most of the remaining traces have been erased by history.
Another possibility is that after the Empire of Night was founded, it erased traces of the empire's existence for some purpose.
"Is the secret art created by the empire that worships dragons and is called the Dragon Empire by a few historians?"
Felin couldn't help but think.
Regarding the Dragon Empire, there are too few remaining ruins discovered so far, and there is no evidence that these remaining ruins belong to a powerful empire.
Most historians believe that the Dragon Empire did not exist. Before the Empire of Night, humans were in a tribal civilization. They were probably the remnants of a tribal civilization before the Empire of Night.
Only a few historians believe that before the Empire of Night, there was an empire like the Empire of Dragons.
He is more inclined to believe that the Dragon Empire exists, because the remaining ruins discovered are of extremely high level of craftsmanship and are not like those created by tribal civilizations.
Felin continued to look down.
"There are many types of secret techniques. So far, there are hundreds of secret techniques, but this is not the limit of secret techniques."
"Every once in a while, new secret techniques are born. For example, the secret technique Mysterious Spear was born more than a hundred years ago, and the secret technique Mechanical Heart was born a few decades ago."
"However, whether it is a secret technique that already exists or a secret technique that has not yet been created, they must abide by the three iron laws of extraordinary power..."
Felin was attracted by the words "the three iron laws of extraordinary power".
With strong curiosity, he carefully read the explanation of the three iron laws of extraordinary power in "The Secret Art".
After reading dozens of pages, he finally understood what the three iron laws of extraordinary power were.
It is unknown who first proposed the three iron laws of extraordinary power, but he has extremely great guiding significance for the mysterious side.
The guiding significance of the three iron laws to the mysterious side is just like the guiding significance of Newton's three laws to physics in the previous life.
These three iron laws apply not only to occult arts, but also to evil spells, alchemical items, cursed objects, and even weird things that include monsters but are not just monsters.
"The first iron rule is that extraordinary forces restrain each other. There is no absolutely invincible extraordinary power."
Extraordinary mutual restraint means that no matter what kind of extraordinary power, it will be restrained by one or even certain types of extraordinary power.
Adding up occult arts, sorcery, alchemical items, cursed objects, and weirdness, the types of extraordinary powers that exist are extremely large, and sometimes new types of extraordinary powers are even discovered.
However, whether it is the extraordinary power that has been discovered today or the extraordinary power that has not been discovered, they must abide by the iron law of extraordinary mutual restraint.
For example, the mysterious spear he practices is enough to rank in the top ten among today's secret arts in terms of physical destructive power alone.
However, this secret technique with powerful physical destructive power will be restrained by incorporeal weirdness such as ghosts.
The reason why he practiced the second secret technique and learned the secret technique of identifying the eye that can reduce the side effects of cursed objects was to make up for this weakness with the use of cursed objects.
Since extraordinary powers are mutually restrained, there is naturally no absolutely invincible extraordinary ability.
Even if some extraordinary power seems very unsolvable, there must be an extraordinary power that can restrain it. Even if there is not, it is just because this extraordinary power has not been discovered yet.
"The second iron law, extraordinary is immortal, extraordinary power will never be destroyed."
Extraordinary power has the characteristic of never being destroyed. It will not be destroyed by the death of the owner, but will only be dispersed and transferred with the death of the owner.
Mainly dispersed, with occasional transfers occurring.
When it is transferred, it may produce mysterious materials and cursed objects.
The extraordinary power of the monsters Felin had killed since he joined the Security Bureau was dispersed after death, and no mysterious materials or cursed objects were produced.
Extraordinary power is like a certain substance that has been absorbed into people, weird things, cursed objects, and alchemical items for various reasons.
When people and weirdos die, and cursed objects and alchemical items are destroyed, dispersion and transfer will occur.
"The third iron law, extraordinary conservation, extraordinary total quantity never changes."
Extraordinary power not only cannot be destroyed, nor can it increase, which results in the total amount of extraordinary beings always remaining unchanged.
On this basis, some great mystics put forward two hypotheses.
The first hypothesis is that when the people and weirdos with extraordinary abilities reach the limit that the extraordinary power can accommodate, no new people and weirdos with extraordinary abilities will be born, because there is no room for extraordinary power.
The second hypothesis is that when a certain existence masters all the extraordinary power of a certain path, then there will be no people or weirdos who can master this extraordinary path.
These two hypotheses have not yet been confirmed and are difficult to confirm.
However, there is a mysterious phenomenon that can be used as evidence to a certain extent.
This mysterious phenomenon is that the single mysterious power level possessed by humans and weirdos can only reach the twelfth ring, and cannot reach the thirteenth ring.
If you want to cross the twelfth ring, you must introduce the second extraordinary power, but this kind of crossing that introduces the second extraordinary power obviously cannot be called the thirteenth ring.
This thirteenth ring probably represents all the extraordinary power of a certain path.
However, it is obviously impossible to monopolize all the extraordinary power of a certain path. There must be other people or strange masters of this extraordinary power, and this makes it impossible to reach the thirteenth ring.
"I wonder if I can reach the thirteenth ring with the help of the panel, which no one has ever reached with Weird?"
Feilin couldn't help but think in his mind.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to reach the thirteenth ring. However, with the panel, he is not in a normal situation now.
Under abnormal circumstances, is it possible for him to reach the unprecedented thirteenth ring?
Of course, if you want to reach the 13th level, you will definitely face a difficulty, that is, there is no practice method from the 12th level to the 13th level.
He himself is not a research-oriented person, so it is impossible for him to deduce the practice methods from the 12th to 13th circles by himself.
I don’t know if the panel will have the effect of deducing the practice method in the future.
However, the practice methods of some secret arts are very special. The previous practice methods may be used to advance from the 12th to 13th rings.
For example, the method of practicing the Eye of Appraisal is likely to be used to advance from the 12th Ring to the 13th Ring.
Under such circumstances, is it possible for him to use the panel to reach the thirteenth ring?
"I'm afraid we won't know until then!"
Felin shook his head.
Now he is just a third-level mystic. The thirteenth level above the twelve levels is still too far away from him, so there is no need to consider it at all.
After reading the Three Iron Laws of Extraordinary Power, Feilin was deeply moved. He pondered for a while before continuing to read.
"The essence of secret art is to use mystery as a guide to turn extraordinary power into a secret art organ. Using the secret art organ as a guide, combined with corresponding insights, attracts and strengthens extraordinary power."
"Because every extraordinary power has its own uniqueness, there are three different kinds of secret techniques."
"The first difference is that different secret techniques have different levels of difficulty at the same stage. It is not accurate to evaluate talent simply by the speed of a certain level of practice."
"The second difference is that the same secret technique has different levels of difficulty at different stages, and high levels may be lower than low levels."
"The third difference is that the same person has different comprehension speeds at different stages of the secret art, because in the same secret art there are parts that he is good at and parts he is not good at."
Seeing this, Feilin breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's just that I worry too much!"
Previously, he considered that it took more than a month to upgrade the Mysterious Spear from the first level to the second level, but it only took less than a month to upgrade the Mysterious Spear from the second level to the third level.
The bureau report has reached the third ring.
The purpose is to prevent the Security Bureau from feeling abnormal and save unnecessary trouble.
But now it seems that this is completely unnecessary.
According to the second difference in secret techniques, the difficulty of high-level skills is lower than that of low-level skills, that is, the difficulty of advancing from the second level to the third level is lower than that of the first level to the second level. This is very common.
According to the third difference in secret techniques, the same person has different abilities to comprehend the secret techniques at different stages.
You may be good at comprehending one stage of secret arts, but not good at comprehending another stage of secret arts.
With these two differences, even if he reports to the Security Bureau that his mysterious gun has reached the third level, the Security Bureau will not feel any difference.
"Sure enough, it is necessary to master the knowledge related to mystery, otherwise you will just fall into the fixed thinking formed before."
Feilin sighed a little in his heart.
Regardless of his past life or this life, the difficulty level of all the subjects he had learned was from easy to difficult, which made him fall into a fixed mindset, thinking that the same was true for the secret arts.
But in fact, the secret technique is not like this. For the same secret technique, the later stages may not be more difficult than the previous stages, but may also be easier than the previous stages.
It was already noon, so Felin stopped reading. He stood up and relaxed his body, preparing to go to the restaurant for lunch.
Because I was so engrossed in watching it, I stayed in the same position for several hours, and my body became a little stiff.
He noticed that at this time, Ivy also put down her book and stood up from the sofa, preparing to go to the restaurant for lunch.
Without greeting each other, the two left Lounge 201 together and came to the restaurant and sat down at a table.
This happens almost every day at noon. At this point, the two have reached a tacit understanding.
In the restaurant, Felin met Quentin Criss, whom he had met in the library before, and also met Lindy and Julie.
Lindy wears a blue dress and a fur coat, and wears a pair of exquisite blue earrings on her ears. She is both beautiful and charming.
Julie wore a fur top and trousers, as usual.
The two were sitting at the same table, chatting while eating, and "search" was mentioned in the conversation.
Felin suspected that they were talking about the search for high-ranking cultists of the Gnawing Fang.
I just don’t know how the search is progressing now, and whether the specific identity of the senior cultist of Gnawing Fang has been locked.
After eating a sumptuous lunch consisting of stewed lamb, pan-fried chicken breast with salad dressing, sausages with mashed potatoes, and fresh whitebait soup, Felin left the restaurant.
However, he did not return to Lounge 201 with Ivy, but quickly caught up with Lindy and Julie who had left the restaurant before them.
"Felin, what's wrong?"
Seeing Felin catching up, Lindy greeted him and asked.
"Deputy Director, I would like to apply for the secret book after the third ring of the mysterious gun."
Flynn said.
Knowing that even if it is said that it has reached the third ring, the Security Bureau will not feel any difference, so naturally there is no need to hide it.
He decided to report it as soon as possible and apply for the secret book after the third ring of the mysterious gun.
"Applying for a secret book after the third level of the Mysterious Spear... Could it be that your Mysterious Spear has already reached the third level?"
Before Lindy could speak, Julie had already looked at Felin in surprise.
Feilin would apply for a secret book after the third level of the Mysterious Spear, naturally because Felin needs to learn the practice method after the third level of the Mysterious Spear.
There is such a demand, which naturally means that Felin's mysterious gun has reached the third level.
"Yes, it has reached the third ring."
Felin nodded and admitted.
"You have advanced from the second ring to the third ring in less than a month. You are truly worthy of it."
Lindy said with a slight smile on her face and admiration.
Although she knew that Felin was very talented in the mysterious spear, she was still quite impressed when she heard that Felin had advanced from the second level to the third level in less than a month.
"I didn't embarrass the deputy director. It's worth it that the deputy director fought against everyone's opinions and obtained a precious alchemy item like a stand-in puppet for you."
Julie said with a smile.
"Against all opinions?"
Felin was keenly aware of this word and cast a searching look at Julie.
"The stand-in puppet is not only a Type II alchemical item, but also one of the most precious among Type II alchemical items. Its value is even comparable to Type III alchemical items."
"It's natural for someone to be jealous of such a precious thing. When the deputy director asked you to apply for the alchemy item of a substitute puppet, the three captains tried their best to stop it."
There was a hint of sarcasm on Julie's face.
In the Security Bureau, the one with the highest position is naturally Director Dorji Bai, and the second highest position is Deputy Director Lindy.
Under the deputy director Lindy, there are three captains, each of whom is a middle-level mystic, that is, the strength of the fifth ring or above.
Although the status of the three of them is not as good as that of Deputy Director Lindy, they are still qualified to participate in the meeting and can oppose Deputy Director Lindy's proposal to a certain extent.
"In the end, the deputy director overcame the opposition of the three people and persuaded the director to apply for this alchemy item for you."
She pushed her eyes and said.
"Now that you have reached the third ring so quickly, the three of you now have no reason to object."
"There is such a thing."
Feilin was surprised. He did not expect that obtaining the Type II alchemical item substitute puppet would have such a tortuous experience.
When the deputy director handed the puppet to him, he didn't mention it. He thought he got it smoothly.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Lindy.
