Hyperdimensional Warlock

""The Art of Black"..." Angel lowered his head and muttered in a deep voice, as if he was thinking about something.

Laplace glanced at Angel and didn't bother him.

About 2 minutes later, Angel raised his head and looked at Laplace: "There is a record in the invitation letter. Is "The Art of Black" related to which school of alchemy?"

Laplace shook his head: "No."

"No?" Angor looked slightly disappointed.

Laplace asked curiously: "Are you interested in "The Art of Black"?"

Angel did not deny it, nodded and said: "After all, it is a book related to alchemy, and it is also related to the ancient school of alchemy. As an alchemist, I am naturally interested in it."

Laplace thought for a while: "If you are interested in "The Art of Blackness", we can give up "Starry Sky Book" for now..."

Before Laplace finished speaking, Angel quickly waved his hand: "No need."

"The reason why I am interested in "The Art of Blackness" is that he records the things about the ancient alchemy school, not the technology recorded in it."

"The subject of alchemy has never been as old as possible. In other words, for wizards, any subject and category is constantly improving with the passage of time."

"Ancient technology may be able to stand out at that time, but there is a high probability that it will not be able to become king in modern times. Because technology is constantly iterating, discarding the chaff and preserving the essence, and developing step by step."

Just like mechanical alchemy.

This is the alchemy circuit that has only emerged in this era.

As soon as he showed his sharpness, he immediately became the darling of alchemists. The scope of its involvement and possible effects are all-encompassing.

Angel also read a travel book in the research and development institute, which records that in a distant world, there is already a mechanical kingdom that miraculously stands at the peak of the pan-plane within a short period of time.

This mechanical kingdom, in the travel notes, is a creation civilization composed of mechanical alchemy.

When wizards record words, they always use words cautiously. The word "miracle" is never dared to be used indiscriminately.

In this travel note, the rise of the mechanical kingdom is called a "miracle".If ordinary people read this passage, they wouldn't think too much, but any wizard with a little bit of experience would definitely think too much after reading this passage.

Could this "miracle" be that "miracle"?
If the mechanical kingdom is really related to a "miracle", it is enough to prove that the future of mechanical alchemy has a bright future.

Looking back.

There was no systematic mechanical alchemy in ancient times. This is a new school of alchemy technology that has been slowly iterated from ancient times to the present.

This can also be regarded as evidence that the subject of alchemy is not as old as possible.

Of course, Angel also recognized that "nothing is absolute".

Ancient alchemy must have its merits, otherwise why are there always some alchemists chasing ancient ruins?

But even so, in Angel's eyes, at least [-]% to [-]% of alchemy techniques are better than modern standards.

Angle paused, and continued: "Besides, I also have some understanding of the ancient alchemy schools. Many of these alchemy schools are not competitive enough and are slowly being eliminated."

"These alchemy schools eliminated by him have absolutely no monopoly in technology, and once they lose power, they will inevitably be divided up."

"That's why, if "The Art of Black" is passed down from an eliminated alchemy school, then its value will be further discounted."

Angel finally concluded: "Therefore, there is no need to change to "The Art of Black"...For me, it's not that I'm interested, so I must get it."

After listening, Laplace also nodded.

Indeed, Angel's analysis is somewhat reasonable.Moreover, as an alchemist, Angel is interested in alchemy books, which is also understandable.

Laplace: "Then shall I continue with the rest?"

Angor nodded.

Laplace looked at the crystal screen: "The secret scroll is basically finished, now let's talk about these treasures. Because treasures are not like secret scrolls, they have a fixed name. Many times, treasures will be renamed in the hands of other people. Therefore, I don’t really know much about treasures, what I know so far is number 78, number 81, number 88..."

Laplace continued talking about Treasure.

Angel listened carefully at first, but after listening to the effect, he lost interest.

None are suitable for humans.

However, some of the effects sound good, such as the "Kaleidoscope" No. 81. It says it is a "flower", but in fact it has nothing to do with flowers, but has something to do with "Kaleidoscope".As long as you use a mirror to look at a living being, the other party will fall into a kaleidoscope-like blurred world, and it will be difficult to regain consciousness in a short time.

It is a very special control treasure.

It's a pity that manipulating the "Kaleidoscopic Mirror" requires concentrated energy, and any other energy cannot activate the mirror.

The treasures described by Laplace are basically similar to this, and they are all related to the aggregation energy. No matter how good the effect is, it has nothing to do with Angel.

Soon, Laplace finished all the known information.

Laplace: "Have you made a decision? Which three should you choose?"

Angel still hesitated: "The "Starry Sky Book" must occupy one piece, and the remaining two pieces may have to be considered again."

Laplace was not surprised by Angel's answer.After all, although there are many level 4 treasures here, many of them are not understood. If you choose blindly, it is really difficult to make a decision.

Angel's gaze returned to the crystal screen.

Before, they focused on analyzing secret scrolls, treasures, and secret treasures.For the crystal shell, I didn't pay much attention to it.

Perhaps, these crystal shells can also be used as an alternative?
Angel browsed carefully, although it is difficult to guess the specific effect of these crystal shells just by looking at their names.However, some of them are "specialized" crystal shells, and the effects of these specializations can be vaguely seen.

For example, in No. 13 "Pool of Light—Specialized Spirit Elimination", Angel didn't know the effect of the pool of light; but he could guess some clues about the specialization of Spirit Elimination.

Eliminating spirits, in the extraordinary world, mostly means eliminating negative energy, or going a step further, eliminating the power of undead tainted.

Light Pond—Specialized to eliminate spirits, if you look at it literally, maybe it is a crystal shell with a "purification" effect?
Regardless of whether or not the guessed answers are sought, in short, Angel began to check the numbers one by one according to his own understanding.

Then, he looked around.

But he still didn't see any crystal shell that made him particularly excited.

By this time, they had been here for almost an hour.

It's over here, and they still have to talk to Jota and Giant City Spirit about the crystallization of the holy corpse.

With such a calculation of time, there can be no further delay.Maybe the news from the blood disaster ceremony has already come from the other side, and the eight-hour preparation time for the blood avatar is almost here.

Thinking of this, Angel turned his head to look at Laplace: "Well, besides the "Starry Sky Book", there are two places in the Psionic Showcase, and we each choose one."

Laplace also saw that Angor was struggling to make him choose both, and probably would struggle for a long time, so he nodded happily: "Yes."

"Which one do you choose?" Laplace asked.

Angel hesitated for a moment: "I choose... the treasure number 90, Mond's palette."

Although they analyzed before that this secret treasure might have some serious side effects, or the effect was not good; but at this moment, Angel really didn't know which one to choose, so he simply chose the secret treasure that "seemed" to be the most valuable.

After Angel finished speaking, he looked at Laplace: "Now it's up to you to choose."

Laplace nodded, glanced around the crystal screen, and quickly selected his target: "That's it."

"So fast? Don't you need to think about it?" Angel muttered, looking up at the number Laplace was pointing at.

Seeing this, he was a little surprised.

——"Number 49: Secret Scroll: "The Art of Blackness"."

""The Art of Black"? Why did you choose this?" Angel looked at Laplace suspiciously: "You chose it because I was interested in it?"

Laplace shook his head: "No, I just hired a foreign aid."

foreign aid? ?
Angor stared wide-eyed, full of doubts in his eyes.

Laplace said lightly: "I actually don't know why he chose "The Art of Black". But after I told him all the numbers and the corresponding treasure names, he finally chose No. 49, that is, It's The Art of Black."

Angel: "The 'he' you mentioned is..."

Laplace: "Luigi."

Luigi?Angor's eyes were in a daze. When Laplace said that she had found "foreign aid", Angel guessed that Laplace must have shared the situation with his own time and body.

Allow time to give advice.

Based on Angor's understanding of Laplace's time and body, he originally thought that it would be Gleipnir who gave the advice.

After all, Gleipnir is a fortuneteller.

Tell her the situation, maybe you can find the most suitable exhibit by divination.

But what I didn't expect was that Laplace got the answer from Luigi?
Angor: "Why Luigi?"

Laplace glanced at Angel, and said lightly: "Actually, what you want to ask is why not Grapnir?"

Angel smiled, but didn't speak.

Laplace: "I didn't choose Gleipnir because she has already obtained the "Starry Sky Book", and her divination will be biased. Therefore, there is no need to go to her for divination."

"As for why you choose Luigi? The answer is also very simple, because I can't choose. If I want to choose, I can only choose by luck; but my luck is not very good. On the contrary, Luigi, he His luck has always been good, and his instincts are very keen."

"So, I told Luigi about the situation and let him make the decision."

Although Laplace's answer sounds absurd, it actually makes sense when you think about it carefully.Although Luigi's intuition, or psychic sense, is not as good as that of 'Red Sword' Doakes, it is definitely much stronger than others.

Relying on his spiritual sense to choose is indeed the best companion for lazy people.

Angor: "So, Luigi chose "The Art of Black" through intuition?"

Laplace nodded.

Angor: "Luigi said, did his intuition have any feedback on "The Art of Black"?"

In other words, does Luigi know why his intuition led him to choose The Art of Black?
Laplace shook his head: "There is no feedback, it's pure intuition."

Angel was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at the words of "The Art of Black" on the screen, especially the character "black", with an undetectable movement in his eyes.

When he talked about "The Art of Black" to Laplace before, he talked about the ancient alchemy school.

During the chat, Angel actually flashed back an ancient school of alchemy in his mind.

—Death faction.

However, at that time, this idea just flashed through, and I didn't think much about it.

Now, through intuition, Luigi chose "The Art of Black" again, which made Angel's sinking thoughts come up again.

Since Luigi's intuition chose "The Art of Black", it means that "The Art of Black" must be valuable to them.

And "The Art of Black" is a book related to the alchemy school compiled by human wizards, which excludes Laplace and her time body, and the person related to "The Art of Black" can only be Angel.

And Angel thinks that he has nothing to do with the ancient alchemy school.

But if you have to say it, it can only have a certain connection with the "death faction".

Because, the alchemy books that Angor brought out from the city of Naraku in the Nightmare Realm recorded a lot of techniques related to the "Death faction".

Will "The Art of Black" be related to "Death Pie"?

Angel felt that it might really be related.

As far as Angel knows, "Death School" alchemy is the most mysterious faction among the ancient alchemy factions. They advocate "death and rebirth", and they symbolize "black" as the original state of chaos.

Odoros, the representative of "Death School", once said: "Black is a real color, because black has various varieties, and black is the origin of all other colors."

It can be seen from this that the alchemists of the death faction admired black extremely, and they believed that black was a symbol of "death".

As for the book "The Art of Blackness" numbered 49, although I don't know what the content is about, the title of the book mentions "blackness".

In addition, it is clear that this book is related to the ancient alchemy school.

These two leads are very in line with the "death school" style.

Thinking about it this way, it is really possible that "The Art of Blackness" records the content of the "death faction".

If it is really a "death school" book, Angor really wants to read the contents... because the alchemy books he got from Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm are basically related to technology, and there is no understanding of the school's internal concepts and ideas. Relevant history, almost not too much ink.

And "The Art of Black", since it talks about "art" and is also related to "black", maybe it tells the deep concept of "death school".

Angor would like to see the content related to these...
