Hodge felt that a new door to the mysterious world had been opened to him.
Sub-professional system.
"The enchanter should correspond to the enchanting ability in the knight path, right?" Hodge made a preliminary judgment based on his knowledge of occult science.
"Well." Russell explained: "The pharmacist's sub-job corresponds to the pharmacist on the magician path, and the enchanter corresponds to the knight path, but the alchemist's abilities are paradoxical to those on the magician path. They are more evil and weird. They seem to be more
Specializing in alchemical formations for refining living things, this secondary occupation of refining the human body is officially banned by the empire, and many alchemists have been imprisoned for this."
"Other sub-professions seem to be related to many sequences that disappeared in the Second Age. Except for craftsmen, almost no other sub-professions can find corresponding sequence pathways, so they have become sub-professions that are different from regular sequence pathways.
It’s hard to get promoted.”
"As for how much strength they can exert, it depends on their control of abilities. But I heard that they can only reach the mid-sequence level at most, and it is difficult to go higher."
"I don't know much about these sub-professions. Young Master, you can ask the Marquis."
Hotch nodded and had some preliminary concepts about these sub-professions. He vaguely felt that these sub-professions might become another option for him to improve his combat effectiveness in Sequence 9.
Many of these professions feel powerful just by hearing their names.
"Master, so far, the process of refining and taking the magic potion is over." Russell said calmly.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Hodge responded.
"However, for you, there is still one last step left." Russell looked at Hodge and said this.
"Am I still one step away?"
"What is it?"
Hodge was a little confused. He didn't understand what Russell meant by this sentence.
Russell took out the magic wand from his arms, quickly took out it, and touched Hodge's forehead.
"Forehead?"
"What are you doing?"
Hotch was suddenly startled, and instinctively wanted to retreat. He had seen Russell's magic before, and he understood that Russell was very good at ice element magic. At such a close distance, if Russell had other intentions, Hotch would not be able to hide at all.
However, the next moment, the magic wand shone with a slightly green light, and the crisscrossed six-pointed star magic array suddenly emerged.
Hodge only felt that his spirituality was disappearing rapidly, and his keen perception of the surroundings was also disappearing. Elemental light spots, plankton, mysterious and strange spiritual world creatures, various twisted and changing threads, and strangely changing patterns were all fading away.
"She's taking away my spiritual power?"
"She is the real traitor!"
Hodge struggled quickly and planned to shout for help, asking his father, Marquis Bach, to save him and kill the traitor.
At this moment, the door to the magic room was pushed open.
A man wearing a complicated silk dress and a top hat walked in.
Astonishingly, it was the owner of the entire mansion—Marquis Bach.
"Russell, it's almost time, stop."
Marquis Bach's voice was very steady and calm, as if he was a lord who had everything under control.
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
Hearing this, Russell put down his magic wand and withdrew the raging magic.
Hotch immediately regained consciousness and became able to move, but now he seemed to have lost control of his spirituality, and he could no longer see the elemental light spots and the vague spiritual creatures.
"Father, what's going on?"
Hodge was originally panicked by Russell's sudden attack, but after seeing his father, Marquis Bach, all his uneasy emotions calmed down.
Hodge has great trust in this father, trust in every sense of the word, and belief in his strength and ability.
This is also part of Hodge's sense of security and his only nostalgia and tenderness for this strange world.
"Don't peep, don't speak, don't listen. These are the first words you need to remember when entering the extraordinary world."
"The essence of this world is madness, mutation, and distortion. Everyone may mutate and go crazy, including me. If one day I mutate and become a monster, don't hesitate to kill me and protect me.
Your mother."
Marquis Bach looked at Hodge with a calm expression, and said as elegantly and gently as before.
Hotch shook his head and replied seriously: "If there is such a day, I will resurrect you and use all means."
"Okay." Marquis Bach's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his original state, nodding and smiling.
"Father, what did Russell do to me just now?"
"I feel that my spirituality has disappeared, and my perception of the surroundings has become weaker. Even the originally visible elemental light spots and plankton are no longer visible?"
Hotch raised his doubts again.
"Russell sealed your spiritual vision." Marquis Bach explained softly.
"Sealed spiritual vision?" Hodge frowned slightly, still looking at Marquis Bach in confusion.
"The real world we live in overlaps with illusion, and the chaotic and broken spiritual world is intertwined with each other. Extraordinary people can obtain some kind of special revelation through spiritual intuition."
"There are also many extraordinary people who can predict the future through divination, prophecy, channeling, and revelation. After becoming an extraordinary person, your spiritual intuition will be greatly improved, and you will be able to see illusory light spots, similar to ghosts.
Plankton, and even some terrifying visions, the stronger the spiritual intuition, the easier it is to see the nature of the world, and the easier it is to fall into madness.”
"This is what I told you, don't peep, don't speak, don't listen. In the illusory spiritual world, there are too many terrifying existences, crazy ravings, some indescribable patterns, and even just a hazy strange
A speck of light may cause changes and make you crazy."
"Even just a projection from a high-ranking person is enough to transform most extraordinary people into monsters."
"For you now, the spiritual world is very dangerous, so Russell temporarily sealed your spiritual vision. This is also to prevent you from falling into madness."
Marquis Bach patiently explained: "I should have done this, but to my surprise, Russell took the initiative to do it for me."
"My Lord Marquis, this subordinate has overstepped his bounds." Russell, who was wearing a linen robe, lowered his head and saluted respectfully.
"It's okay, you can go out. I will teach Hodge to complete the next thing." Marquis Bach ordered.
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Russell bowed again and exited the magic room.
Hotch touched his forehead, only to feel that something special was sealing him, making his perception a little blurry and no longer sharp.
"This is a type of sealing magic called Spiritual Pact. You can master it when you become a Sequence 8 Magic Apprentice."
"I'll first teach you how to control spiritual vision and how to temporarily come into contact with sealing magic..."
Marquis Bach took out a piece of paper, drew a strange vertical and horizontal symbol, and handed it to Hodge: "If you follow the pattern above and pour your spirituality into it, you can briefly untie the seal and regain your spirituality."
See."
"try it yourself?"
"Okay." Hodge activated his spirituality according to the symbol pattern on the paper, and simply wrote and gestured in the air.
The next moment, Hodge regained his perception of the surroundings, and elements of light spots, mysterious lines, twisted patterns, strange ghosts... emerged.
This time, he saw overlapping and twisted projections of the spiritual world.
The vast expanse of heaven and earth, with countless figures, chaos, and phantoms lingering in it, and scattered fragments streak across the sky from time to time, like shooting stars or gorgeous fireworks...
"Okay, calm down and think about taking back these spirits." Marquis Bach shouted and forcibly woke up Hodge who was almost lost.
Huo Qi woke up from a dream and quickly calmed down, thinking about taking back his spirituality.
Soon, he lost his spiritual vision again, and the surrounding scenes returned to their original appearance.
Hotch breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his father, Marquis Bach again.
"Remember the feeling just now. Before you have complete control, use this method to simply control the spiritual vision switch. Once you are familiar with it, try to switch the spiritual vision on and off without using symbols. After you become proficient in it, I will help you remove the sealing magic.
." Marquis Bach nodded and said softly.
"Can I directly activate my spiritual vision while being sealed by magic?" Hodge asked.
"You will be able to do it gradually after you try it a few more times. However, the time should not be too long each time. It should be turned off for at most three minutes. Turning on the spiritual vision state for a long time will cause a huge burden on your mental power."
Marquis Bach reminded.
"Okay, father." Hotch nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Marquis Bach also nodded and did not continue to speak.
The room suddenly became quiet, and the scene was a bit subtle.
Hodge knew very well that the events that followed one after another made his father, Marquis Bach, very worried about him. However, he did not say anything, which was indeed inappropriate and seemed very distant and alienated.
Because I believe that Marquis Bach will not take the initiative to ask questions.
Similarly, Hodge didn't want to betray his father's trust. He thought for a while and took the initiative to say: "Father, do you believe what happened in the dream?"
