Chapter 383 The Book of Truth: Compilation and Commentary
Upon hearing this, Salvatore's pupils shrank.
He suddenly realized what kind of boss this "half-centaur" named "Chiron" was.
It can even be said that the title "Mentor of Tragedy Writers" is not his most glorious name...
And Chiron continued to narrate:
"I planned to fix the abilities required by the profession into a big ceremony.
"I make statistics on the characteristics of various occupations, divide the characteristics of each occupation, and make clear and effective promotion paths between occupations, attribute different 'skills' to different occupations, and ensure that all
The sublimated person can theoretically reach the dyeing position without running out of potential because of taking the wrong path."
Having said this, Chiron smiled: "Of course, I can't do this myself.
"I asked the mysterious lady for advice, and this plan got her support. With the help of the mysterious lady, I successfully integrated the 'professional system' into a big ceremony... allowing the sublimators to follow this 'more orderly'
"Rules" instead of relying on instinct to explore in the dark, so that those "secret" sublimation skills are sealed by various forces and disappear in history with their demise.
"The mysterious lady once said that this can be regarded as my [creative work]. I also obtained the book of truth called "The Compilation of Statements"."
"...It's actually like this."
Salvatore's eyes widened.
Of course he knows what this means.
Let alone modern times... The concept of "career" has been around since the Third Age. This means that the entire modern system of extraordinary beings is on the path invented by this "Chiron"
of.
It can even be said that the large number of false gods that have appeared since the Third Age are precisely because of the determination of "career", the possibility of "going astray" is eliminated, and many abilities are stored in the career itself. As long as new ones are obtained,
profession, you can obtain the "sealed knowledge" in these professions.
Of course, except for the wizard system.
The professional system compiled by Chiron is a "non-spell caster" system.
Because the wizard system was established earlier than the professional system... The wizard tower was most likely born in the first era. Before the Unification War, it could be said that there were "spell casters" everywhere, and everyone had a mess of spells. At that time
Spellcasters are not as systematic as other sublimators.
It was not until the end of the Unification War that wizards were identified as the eight major sects.
In other words, Chiron can be said to be the mentor of more than half of the extraordinary beings.
Those extraordinary beings who thought they had no teachers were actually already walking on the path Chiron opened for them.
"...But why didn't you ascend to godhood?"
Salvatore asked politely and respectfully.
The second part of the question he didn't ask was, "Why do you only have half of it left?"
Although Salvatore's emotional intelligence is not very high.
But he also knew that this question might not be very polite.
Not only did he complete the "work of creation" in the second era, he even obtained the Book of Truth... This is already the level of truth with a noble identity, and is only half a step away from the gods. In this case
, how did he fail to sublimate?
Salvatore was really curious about this.
So even though he knew it was inappropriate to ask, he still asked anyway.
From this point of view, Shadow should also be very curious.
Otherwise, she would have held Salvatore down, preventing him from asking any more questions...
"It's very simple."
Chiron said warmly: "Because I gave my students the opportunity to ascend to godhood.
"In addition to Sophocles, Perikritus was also my favorite student... His god's name is Stone Father. He and Sophocles are both wizards from the Tower of Thousand Faces.
, and even got to know each other.
"In addition, the Charioteer, the Iris Lord, the Two Songsers and the Patron are also my students. None of them are wizards, but they have also asked me for different techniques."
"this……"
Salvatore was speechless.
He has heard all these names.
The Stonefather is the god of palaces and sculptures, the Charioteer is the god of knights and galloping horses, the Iris is the god of swords and duels, the Two Songsers is the god of minstrels, and the Patron is the god of extortion and promise-keeping.
They are all "young gods" born in the Third and Fourth Ages.
But he really didn't know that these gods were all Chiron's students...or at least they had learned from Chiron.
wrong.
Salvatore reacted quickly.
It should be said that it is normal for gods to have teachers. After all, not all gods are like Paper Princess, who become gods at birth. It’s just that the teachers of other gods are not as alive as Chiron.
"You said, the opportunity to sublimate into a god..."
"The effect of "The Compilation of Statements" is that its fragments of truth can be turned into fragments of other books of truth. The prerequisite is that at least two pages of another book of truth have been collected."
Chiron said warmly: "Although I am also at the gold level, I don't actually want to become a god. In other words, my true wish has long been unable to be fulfilled... so I have no desire to become a god.
"But those young people who are full of vitality are different. They really want to become gods. If the other side really needs it and respects me enough, I will open my book of truth to them. That's why I say
, they are all students I love.
"And now, there is not even a single fragment of truth left in the Book of Compilation. It has become a dying book of truth.
"Those children who have received gifts from me... will respectfully call me [Professor Bai]. Because I was always wearing white clothes and holding a white bow."
This is why Professor Gray is called this name.
The word "grey", if read in the language of the horse people, can also be understood as "shadow" or "shadow".
He is performing in reverse what "Professor Bai" did in the past... and gaining strength from this!
"Then now..."
"It was just an accident."
"Professor Bai" Chiron explained: "It was not my students who did this to me... Sophocles's character is indeed not very good, but he would not do anything to me.
"This is because I rashly used a great-level spell in the last era, and suffered backlash. It wasn't that I was cut off from the middle, but that I was sealed into the painting.
"And little Henry rescued me...even though he only saved half of it. But I still want to repay him."
Young Henry was probably Henry VIII.
Salvatore quickly guessed who it was.
No wonder "Mr. Kai" would hide his real name... No wonder he would say that he and Henry VIII met when they were young and Henry VIII was kind to him.
This is indeed a good thing to say.
He did meet the young Henry VIII in the royal treasury; he did have a favor to rescue Chiron.
Although half of Chiron's power is still sealed, the remaining half is enough to create his own fake "Mr. Kai" and move around on the ground at will.
"...Is there anything I can do to rescue you?"
Salvatore asked instinctively.
Not for any benefit.
It's just that I can't see such a great character being trapped in a painting.
Chiron looked at Salvatore in shock.
He also easily read Salvatore's thoughts.
The centaur's eyes softened: "It doesn't have to be like this, Mr. Salvatore. I'm used to this... You see, I can indeed move freely outside."
"No, I just want to understand."
Salvatore said calmly: "If it will kill me or harm Annan's interests, of course I will not agree. I will use my wisdom to judge... But if it is a trivial matter, I will not
No reason not to do it.”
"...It won't hurt you, it's just difficult."
Chiron said helplessly: "Not only does it require the power of the great-level spell 'Smoke Mirror', but it also requires the 'White Woman' to use the smoke mirror.
"I'm very happy that you have such thoughts. But it doesn't have to be like this...at least you don't have to actively look for them.
"Go back to your friends quickly. If you need my power, just come here to find me."
Chiron said gently.
"……Um."
Salvatore nodded slightly.
But he still secretly kept these two names in his heart.
Chiron said that if he could help, just come to him...and Salvatore thought so too.
If he could help, Salvatore would certainly do his best to help this respectable elder.
