"Sir Destiny, what books do you want to read?" The djinn-like guide raised his hand, and four translucent illusory light curtains appeared in front of Mark.
There are several major categories of occultism above.
The occultism of this world seems to Mark to be a bit nonsense.
The Celestial Dynasty before time travel had no concept of mysticism.
In this world, occultism is a general term, which is mainly divided into four categories:
Astronomy (including astrology, divination);
Alien theory (mainly the knowledge of alien planes, including hell where demons are rampant and the bottomless abyss where demons are rampant);
And magic (here refers to the use of the power of the above three disciplines for human use, including the production of various extraordinary props).
Mark definitely doesn’t have time to look at the side subjects.
Among the four major categories, Mark believes that the first one to be excluded is alien theory. This thing is preferred by the Sin Sect and the Apocalypse Sect.
Secondly, exclude astronomy. The astronomy of this world is meaningless to him. He is already [Mr. Galaxy], and with the destiny dice, why is he divination?
Don't look at the fact that the dice always gives him high points every time, but when it comes to throwing a lot of trouble at him, I have never seen it show mercy.
Come to think of it, Mark also took away Magic.
Once the weapon refining and medicine refining are completed, the status in the world will rise. Unfortunately, the investment is too high and the return period is too long.
It can be done in the future, but certainly not now.
Then, the most efficient breakthrough is in [Soulology].
Even though he passed the levels without any danger, Mark found himself facing a powerful enemy. The weak soul power seriously restricted the performance of him and Mini.
Centipede Suzy and Mini are both A-level [Abnormal]. Because his master is too weak, Mini cannot get enough soul power supplement from him, resulting in Mini being unable to let go of her hands and feet to fight the opponent with spiritual threads.
Of course, Minnie is in a disabled state, which also limits her ability to display her strength.
Therefore, whether it is strengthening his own soul or repairing Mini's spiritual body, it is an effective method to quickly increase his combat power in the short term.
Mark said: "Please take me to the soul science library."
"Okay." Zack's blue translucent soul led the way, and the suspended stairs followed behind. He said as he flew: "Which category and sect of books do you want to read?"
I looked at the books on the huge bookshelf. There were at least 100,000 volumes.
When I was in college, I could read ten books in one semester, and it would be a big deal if I passed the exam.
In this situation, it is not about finding a needle in a haystack. What I am most afraid of is that there is a lot of chance of being misled by junk books.
In a situation where mysterious events can happen at any time, this situation is even more unbearable than 'a card player is forced to pollute his deck with junk cards'.
Mark's brain suddenly shut down.
I feel ashamed to say that the original owner was an uneducated person. He originally went to work as a clerk in the occult field, and was purely responsible for some clerical work.
Most of the night watchmen are rough people, and many of them can't even write. In a sense, as long as they can write a report on each abnormal case in a written form, file it, and at most help look at extraordinary objects, they are considered qualified occult staff.
.
For most occultists, it is not difficult to possess theoretical knowledge. It is really difficult for people like Mark to come into contact with high-level [abnormalities] without dying, or even recover them.
The occult promotion ceremony also uses this mysterious person with ordinary qualifications, and will not allow him to advance for life.
Mark is the other way around.
This guy has completed all kinds of incredible practices in one breath, but he seriously lacks all kinds of occult knowledge.
When the conductor asked this question, Mark felt like he had been exposed and was about to be embarrassed.
At this moment, the dice that Mark loved and hated flew out and was dangling in front of him.
You can use me.
You don't have to.
After using it...
You know the price!
"..."
After struggling for three seconds, Mark thought to himself: No nonsense, give me the whole [20]!
The next moment, Mark received the 'guidance of fate'.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "I've heard for a long time that Mr. Howard F. Lovecraft has made great achievements in the field of soul science. I want to study his manuscript. It doesn't matter if it's a broken copy."
Zack, the guide, seemed to hesitate for a moment.
"What? Is there a problem?"
"No problem. Your Excellency, I need to solemnly remind you. We do have that gentleman's manuscript in our library, but it is a fragment. Not only does this require paying 10,000 mystery points, but in the past three hundred years, a total of 1,023 mystical scholars have viewed it.
After receiving the manuscript, 444 people went crazy on the spot and died suddenly on the spot. Most of the rest ended badly, and only 233 survived for more than a year. Even so, most of them suffered from serious mental deviation and soul pollution problems.
."
Hearing this, Mark's left and right eyelids were beating wildly at the same time, and his heart was palpitating.
The guide continued: "Although this book is the treasure of our library, it is too dangerous. No one has dared to challenge it in the past twenty years. If you insist, this needs to be done, including the director of our library.
Reading can only be carried out under the witness of at least five occult masters and surrounded by twelve library guards."
Mark's whole body was numb.
After such a long time, he finally figured out the properties of the dice of fate. As long as he rolled 20 points, no matter whether he benefited or not, there would definitely be mysterious disasters.
This is like a 300-draw guaranteed card game. When you reach 270 draws, you will be crying and kneeling to get out the guarantee.
This is the so-called ‘sunk cost’.
Mark bit the bullet: "I insist."
Zack kindly advised: "Young Sir, do you really not think about it anymore? You are very likely to become the victim No. 1024. Even if you survive it, so many mysterious points are placed in other books, which is enough for you to
Become a mystical scholar of Knowledge Sequence 6."
"No! I firmly believe that I am the 1024th lucky person. I usually do many good things, and I firmly believe that [good people have a safe life]!"
"Okay! I won't advise you anymore."
Mystery points are not a problem.
This is the common currency of the occult community.
Under normal circumstances, this requires a mystic scholar to publish a research paper and solve a certain mystery, and then the academic committee will award a general number of points in the mysterious field as the price for learning various advanced knowledge.
The best way to earn mystery points is definitely through actual combat.
Mark has enough points in his hand. When he graduated from the Mysterious Academy, the academy gave him twelve thousand points because he broke through the S-level world.
It's just that the risk is a bit higher.
Mark asked the facilitator: "Can I hide my identity?"
"Yes. This requires paying an additional 200 points. Even our curator will not know your identity. The memory of you in my soul will also be erased. But I need to remind you that concealing your identity will only cover you.
The mysterious fog cannot conceal some of the details of your movements or body features."
"That's enough. Please make arrangements."
"OK."
After some formalities, Mark was led to an underground square of at least a thousand square meters and ten meters high in the Chaozhou Library.
The moment he entered, a shadowy mist enveloped him.
Mark noticed that under the flickering lights, in the middle of this empty square, there was a hemispherical building about ten meters in diameter.
Surrounding the building, twelve mystical scholars wearing various robes stood in the same number of magic circles, looking at him with curious eyes.
Mark understood why so many mysterious points were needed. This was not only to dissuade newcomers who overestimate their abilities, but also to pay for the appearance of so many mysterious scholars.
If it's not good, the reader will go crazy, and they will still have to trouble others to sort out the mess later.
It is not difficult to kill a madman, but it is a test of strength to deal with an occult madman who has considerable fighting power without hurting the person as much as possible.
There was no turning back when he fired his bow. Mark boldly approached the secret room in the middle under the guidance of Zack.
At first glance, the secret room looks a bit like an Eskimo igloo.
Taking a closer look, he found that the secret room was made of hundreds of irregular metal pieces stacked tightly together. When Mark stepped into the door with a slightly crooked door frame, the door closed on its own.
"Boom!"
After the heavy sound of the mechanism, clusters of spiritual threads emerged from the cracks in the door. They were intertwined with each other, perfectly sealing the entire secret room.
Mark noticed that there were twelve humanoid silver armors sitting in the secret room.
There is nothing in the armor now. Once Mark goes crazy, he has no doubt that something will appear in the armor and slash him with a three-meter long knife.
At this time, the originally opaque metal wall suddenly became illusory, showing an almost transparent state. You can see that in the square outside, in addition to the mysterious scholar just now, there are more figures wearing robes floating in the air.
.
The spiritual world, which is what mortals call the other world, is a reflection that coexists with the real world.
Just because mortals can't enter the spiritual world doesn't mean that occultists can't.
Spiritual world scholars have long been able to communicate across space through the spiritual world.
There is considerable uncertainty in communication in the spiritual world. When the spiritual world fluctuates greatly, such as when there are tides in the spiritual world, communication in the spiritual world will be cut off. Moreover, the principle of long-distance communication in the spiritual world is to invest a ray of your own spiritual thoughts during communication.
, among the creatures in the spiritual world, he is as bright as a beacon in the dark night.
If people who are not strong enough use spirit world communication, they will be attacked by spirit world creatures.
Those who can come to witness are naturally the strong men in the mysterious world.
Some figures have their faces covered, but most of them openly reveal their mental projections.
Mark discovers an old acquaintance - his cheap teacher, Margaret, the director of Mistry Mystery Academy.
He recognized the other person, why didn't the dean recognize him?
Even though the fog obscured his facial features, the two separated just yesterday, and Margaret saw her good student seeking death today.
The dean's eyes almost went dark on the spot, and he thought to himself: Mark, Mark! Haven't you gone to see the world? Why are you so obsessed with reading this forbidden book recognized by the mysterious world?
But due to regulations, she couldn't even dissuade him.
Mark's arrival here means that he has signed a life and death certificate.
Originally, a group of big figures in the mysterious world came with the mentality of being witnesses to see who was seeking death.
This time it was better, and the dean was shocked to realize that he had eaten something at his own home.
