"It's about the anchor." Rawls said while observing Albert's reaction. Seeing that her expression did not change, he continued, "In my understanding, the anchor is used to suppress the magic potion.
The madness, or so-called divinity, can deepen our own human existence.”
If it were an angel who was not an angel from the Church of the Seven Gods, he would naturally not be so careful, because when it comes to the issue of anchors, it can easily involve issues of belief in gods and believers. As the Pope of Knowledge and Wisdom, Albert
Te Mendoza may not be willing to delve into it.
However, Albert did not change his attitude towards this. He smiled and nodded:
"There's nothing wrong with your understanding, but to be precise, the role of an anchor is not to suppress, but to balance.
"In the low-sequence stage of the potion system, as long as they are normal and in a healthy period, even if there is no 'acting method', they can rely on their abundant emotions and strong body to resist the effects of the potion.
Crazy. But at the Sequence 5 stage, promotion requires corresponding rituals.
"This actually means that the madness contained in the potion is increasing. It can no longer be dealt with by just relying on oneself. It requires external force, which can be a promotion ceremony, an anchor, or even one's own strong willpower."
As the angel on earth said this, he walked towards a row of bookshelves, his ice-blue eyes scanning the rows of books.
"You may have heard that some lucky people accidentally swallowed extraordinary characteristics and were poured with prepared magic potions. They were just ordinary people and suddenly became Sequence 8, Sequence 7, or even Sequence 6 Extraordinaries. And
The mental state is good. In addition to the lucky factor, their own will is strong enough."
She stopped in front of a row of log-colored bookshelves, squatted down, and took out a "book" from the bottom box. It was a stack of thick and heavy books with simply processed bark as pages and tree vines as threads.
Book.
At the top is a line of ancient Fusak saying: "Suffering can temper people's will."
"This is a book from the Moss Ascetic Order before it fell. It comes from a very respectable ascetic." Albert handed the book to Rawls, "The ascetic practices they insisted on before, in addition to dealing with '
In addition to its own problems, the Secret Peeper's path also allows them to be promoted faster after more than five years of hard training. There are similar existences in the seven major churches and even some secret organizations."
Taking the book, Rawls carefully turned the page and saw the two huge words "Forbidden Words" written in ancient Hermetic language at the top. Seeing this word, his desire to ask seemed to weaken.
Some.
Below are lines of words written in ancient Fusac language:
"Language is the outstanding talent of human beings. It is a powerful force that can mobilize the forces of nature. The only way to restrain one's own talent..."
He flipped through several more pages, and there were a series of chapters on "Secret Keeping", "Abstinence", "Patience", etc., but there was no chapter on torturing himself that he thought there would be.
Gods exist in this era. Naturally, there is no need for "ascetic monks" like Rawls in his previous life. He even needs to wear penance belts to please his own gods. The book also specifically emphasizes that while tempering the spirit, one must also polish the
Only when your body is mentally and physically strong can you not be defeated by the madness contained in the potion.
At the same time, the Morse Trappist Order does not reject the "acting method" of pretending to be an invited guest to enter the castle and become the owner of the castle, but believes that the two together can better digest the potion.
"You just talked about Sequence 6, wouldn't Sequence 5 work?" Rawls closed the book and put it back in the box and asked.
"Yes, but even if you survive, you will become a madman and cannot get rid of the essence of madness." Albert was very satisfied with Rawls' question, "This is also the reason why Sequence 5 requires a ritual. You must know that the potion has already been used in the early stage.
Our bodies have been drastically changed, and a strong will is nothing for some paths.
"Because at this stage, human will is no longer able to endure and persevere."
Seemingly realizing that he had deviated from Rawls' original question, Albert stroked his beard and continued:
"In the early days, in addition to a strong will, abundant emotions were also a way to resist potions. This was also the path that human pioneers found before the birth of the 'acting method'. But at Sequence 5 and later demigod levels, rituals and
Anchors are here to help us. In fact, this is also strengthening our will, improving our understanding of ourselves, and reaching a state of balance.
"At this stage, you need to restrain your emotions to avoid mental problems caused by emotional ups and downs. In addition to pollution, most of the loss of control of some demigods is due to this problem. After all, no matter how serious the physical injury is, as long as
It is acceptable for demigods if it does not endanger life, but in this process, mental breakdown is the most fatal."
It is indeed the "teacher" path... Rawls secretly complained and quickly asked the most critical question:
"Then if a saint or an angel pretends to be another person, will the anchor obtained at this stage cause some interference to him?"
Rawls does not have a deep understanding of this aspect, but he thinks there should be some.
Klein's many identities are different in terms of personality and appearance, but the anchors he obtained still point to him, and it is this multiple identities that continuously enhances his self-awareness. Later, in order to fight against the "Tianzun", he became a
Believers should serve two purposes.
But the problem is that Crane is a "faceless man", so this kind of performance meets the requirements of the path for him, and the relevant authority of the path where the "Red Angel" evil spirit is located is "war".
Albert, who was wearing a plain white robe, took a deep look at Rawls, thought for a while and said:
"I understand what you are thinking. It depends on how much similarity there is between the two. For example, if the person being played is a 'reader', and the person pretending to be a 'reader' is a
'Hunter', and in order not to be noticed, he deliberately acted as a 'reader', which would naturally have an impact on him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But if he did not deliberately act as a 'reader' and still acted in a 'hunter' style, then the impact would be very small, but it would still exist.
, after all, his appearance exists there.”
This seems a bit like the influence of the collective subconscious ocean... Rawls' eyelids twitched and he asked directly:
"Ocean of the collective unconscious?"
"Haha, it seems you also know something about psychology..."
Albert's blue eyes are deep, reflecting Rawls' figure.
"Yes, the essence of anchors comes from people's hearts, from the collective subconscious ocean. Their impression of you will affect you through the collective subconscious ocean. If these people have the same impression of you and there are enough people,
Even if you are different from the image in their minds, you will be shaped into the image in their minds.
"This is also why many promotion rituals and performances are easier to carry out when high-sequence and high-level beings are involved. Because these beings themselves have powerful minds, and their cognition is comparable to a thousand or ten thousand
An ordinary person..."
Having said this, she turned around and walked towards the huge desk again.
Although Albert did not continue speaking, Rawls also understood the unfinished meaning of his words. Even gods will transform into the image created in the hearts of many believers and become another strange existence.
This is why in the Fifth Age, and even in the late Fourth Age, the righteous gods did not have their own statues, but all became symbols.
At the same time, he also understood what he thought, that is, letting the evil spirit of the "Red Angel" possess her and command the army would not have much impact on her.
So we still have to find a way to restrict the other party... Thinking of this, Rawls immediately shook his head. If he could find it, he would not ask Albert about the feasibility of his previous idea.
Since the previous idea was of no use, he had no choice but to say goodbye and left the "Tower of Omniscient" with Archbishop Bernhard and came to the wide square outside.
Even though this is the headquarters of the Church of Knowledge, there is no longer the scene when Rawls first came to visit Albert Mendoza. The crowd is sparse, and only a few people still maintain their old habits and gather together in the square.
Talk and discuss.
Seeing this scene, Rawls sighed in his heart, turned around and looked at the towering White Tower. Bernhard, who was waiting to "teleport" with him, was stunned for a moment, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to return.
Take the opportunity to "analyze" "teleportation" and accumulate experience for developing secret techniques for yourself.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw Rawls frowning, as if he had thought of something, so he quickly closed his mouth.
After more than ten seconds, Rawls came back to his senses and looked at Bernhard who was waiting aside. Without saying anything, he reached out and held his shoulders. The two of them gradually became sluggish and disappeared into the air.
…
On another full moon night, Klein got up from the bed, skillfully pulled Miss Magician above the gray fog, and listened to her talk about her experiences and insights in the past two or three days, and expressed
Her "Recorder" potion has been digested, but the promotion ceremony still needs to be prepared.
After knowing that the promotion of "Traveller" requires the establishment of special coordinates in four completely different and far apart places deep in the spiritual world, Klein directly asked her to seek help from "The World". Miss Reinette Tinichole completed this task.
The job should be very simple, I just don't know how much it will cost.
After returning to the real world, Klein silently made a mental note to urge the manuscript on time. Once Fors was promoted to "traveler", which meant that he did not need his help in delivering the manuscript, urging the manuscript became a problem.
He yawned, lay down and fell asleep, lost in the lake. After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by his spiritual intuition and got up again, and saw a letter floating down.
It seems that the messenger lady is not willing to work overtime at night... Klein complained, took the letter, and read it several times. It was a letter from the "witch" Triss. She had obtained the key to enter the mausoleum and lift the curse of the Abraham family.
Method.
The former requires the collection of blood from twenty-two extraordinary pathways, while the latter requires the sacrifice of a "Cunning Mage", a "Mystic Mage", and a "Parasite" respectively. Compared with the former, the latter is more difficult.
Klein made a simple calculation and found that within two years of traveling back in time, he had actually established a relatively deep connection with most of the Sequencers of the Extraordinary Path.
I wonder whether Mr. "Emperor" is considered an "arbitrator" or a "lawyer"? Or can the blood of one person be worth the blood of two people?
It’s better to play it safe. If Mr. “Emperor” guesses something, it will be a bit troublesome. After all, the Tamara family and the Abraham family have a marriage and are still in contact... Klein’s answer to the “Son of Chaos” behind the “Emperor”
Still worried, he took a deep breath and walked four steps backward to divine above the gray mist.
…
On the deserted, cold and dim road, a figure wearing a black coat and a black skirt, with moist black hair, walked slowly. Her face was round, her eyes were slender, and she had a gentle and sweet feeling. At this time, she was alone.
Walking on the path, there didn't seem to be any fear on her face.
Looking at the empty road and the dim street lights on both sides, the figure stopped and frowned slightly, which immediately made her look more pitiful.
She put one hand into the pocket of the black coat that covered the outside, turned her palm over, and a palm-sized mirror appeared in her hand. In just the next second, she could enter the mirror and leave this area through the mirror world.
But when her eyes fell on the mirror, the hole suddenly enlarged. The mirror did not reflect her face, but darkness.
bang bang bang
Crisp applause rang out, shadows floated under the street lights, and a figure wearing a mask and a three-piece formal suit appeared. He put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly to the lady:
"Good evening, Miss Triss."
The "witch"'s powerful spiritual warning told Triss that the person in front of her did not have any malicious intentions, at least he was not here to kill her.
"Good evening." Triss put the mirror back into her pocket and smoothly tucked a strand of hair falling from her forehead behind her ear, "But before saying hello, shouldn't you introduce yourself first? This is not a gentleman.
Behavior."
Rawls, who was wearing a mask, subconsciously looked away, his voice still calm:
"I'm here to make a deal with you."
"Deal? How about moving to a warmer place? It's too cold here... But if you are willing, I will naturally accompany you..."
The charming voice reached Rawls' ears. After feeling the blood flowing to a certain location, he immediately gave himself a "psychological hint" and said coldly:
"I'm not interested in a guy who used to be a man."
Triss's face changed slightly, then she covered her mouth and said with a smile:
"Isn't this more exciting? Try more novelties and have more fun! Maybe it will completely change your life!"
