Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3447 Secret in the book
"The Art of Blackness" did make Angel very concerned, but what he cared about was only the "historical facts" of the death faction that may be recorded in the book.

These contents are only of interest to Angor, but not to the point of needing to know.

It can't compare to the actual knowledge recorded in "Starry Sky Book".

That's why he was vaccinated in advance.

Laplace also heard Angel's subtext, nodded lightly, and stopped talking about the "replacement", but asked curiously: "You are interested in "The Art of Black", probably not because of what it wants. The art of record shaping, right?"

Although Laplace has only seen a few works made by Ingres, but only these few works, Laplace has also seen the extraordinary artistry.

At the very least, the artistry is much higher than the various alchemy props sold at the Tooth Fairy Ancient Market.

It can be seen from this that Angel's aesthetics for alchemy is online, and he has his own unique vision and refining style.

Would Angel like this really buy related art creation books for another kind of "Black Art"?Laplace didn't quite believe it.

Sure enough, in the face of Laplace's inquiry, Angel nodded without hesitation: "I am not interested in artistic creation."

"I'm most interested in the alchemy genre behind this book."

Laplace raised his eyebrows: "Alchemy genre?"

She looked at the crystal screen, and the introduction to "The Art of Blackness" on the screen was limited to "Ancient Alchemy School", but did not specify what school it was.

Laplace: "Do you know what school of alchemy this is?"

Angel nodded: "The author of this book, Odoros, is quite famous in the ancient alchemy world, and his school is called...the death school."

"Death Pie?" Laplace repeated in his mouth, always feeling that the name was a little ominous.Especially, when "death" and "alchemy" are fused together, this ominous feeling seems to jump out of the paper.

Why is it called this name?
After pondering for a while, Laplace couldn't help asking: "How is death related to alchemy? Or is death just a name and has nothing to do with alchemy?"

Angel: "It's related."

"The philosophy of the Death School is death and rebirth. The so-called 'death' means to make all matter die, or in other words, enter a state of withering."

"When the matter is completely dead, it will turn into a new form. This form is called the tetraplasm by the alchemists of the death school."

"Then, the substance can be reshaped by the tetraplasm, and this substance has a new form and even a new nature, which is the so-called 'rebirth'."

Angor explained the death school's alchemy concept in a simple and in-depth manner.

Laplace didn't understand it at first, but it wasn't until Angel gave an example that she suddenly understood.

Assume that there is a piece of cold material, which is slowly "killed" by death alchemists, and finally dies completely, turning into the "four original body" of the source of matter.And this "quaternity body" was used by the death alchemist to ignite the hope of rebirth with special techniques, and finally, it was regenerated into a piece of thermal material.

Cold materials become tetraplasms after death, and tetraplasms become hot materials after rebirth.

There will be no other substances mixed in the middle, but one substance will completely change its properties.

From cold to hot.

The nature and essence of matter have changed, which is impossible in the eyes of any transcendent.

However, the alchemists of the death faction can do it.

And this is the alchemy philosophy of the Death School.

Even Laplace, who has lived for thousands of years and has seen all kinds of wind and rain, feels incredible when he hears this wonderful "quaternity transformation".

Is this an idea that really exists in the world?Are you sure this is alchemy, not creation?

Angor: "Although I haven't seen a real tetraplasm, according to the information I know, the alchemy of the death faction exists. And..."

When Angel said this, he suddenly stopped, with a slightly hesitant expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.

In the end, Angel thought about it, and said: "And, based on my shallow knowledge, I think the alchemy of the death school is also reasonable from my point of view."

Laplace frowned: "...reasonable?" Are you sure it's reasonable?

Angel didn't notice Laplace's expression, but lowered his eyebrows and said to himself: "In my opinion, all wizards basically follow an unspoken rule, which is called—— price exchange principle."

"This principle of equivalent exchange can actually be applied to death-style alchemy. Cold substances of equal quality and quantity can be transformed into hot substances of equal value. Isn't this a special principle of equivalent exchange?"

"However, under normal circumstances, there is no way to achieve this principle of equivalent exchange. The death faction took a trick, using a common tetraplasm as a conversion medium, allowing the two to achieve Equivalent exchange."

"This is the essence of death faction alchemy as I understand it."

However, Angel also knew that what he understood was very superficial and superficial, and there must be secrets hidden in the alchemical essence of the Death School; otherwise, their concept would not use "Death and Rebirth" as the title, but Just use "equivalent exchange" directly.

So Angel is sure that his understanding must be biased.The reason why I told the content that I know to be deviant is mainly because I want to use a shallower cognition to explain the reason for Laplace.

Although Angel felt that...he might have explained it more.

Thinking of this, Angel hurriedly added to Laplace his mental journey, lest Laplace really believe it.

Laplace pondered for a moment, and said: "I don't know if your explanation is correct, but it is indeed a novel angle to look at this matter from the perspective of equivalent exchange. Moreover, this angle seems to really have Makes sense."

Laplace shrugged: "Forget it, I don't know how to do alchemy myself, and thinking forcibly will put me in a deadlock of thinking. As long as you know the general idea of ​​the Death Sect, that's fine."

"It doesn't matter to me whether it's reasonable or not."

Seeing that Laplace gave up asking questions about ideas, Angor also breathed a sigh of relief.

Laplace now understands that Angel is interested in "The Art of Black" purely because it is a death school work?

Thinking about the outrageous core idea of ​​the death faction, it is normal for Angel, as an alchemist, to be interested in it.

Laplace pointed to the last line of the introduction to "The Art of Black": "Then do you think there really are secrets in "The Art of Black"?"

Angel followed Laplace's fingers and looked at the crystal screen.

——"It is said that there are secrets hidden in "The Art of Blackness"."

Angel stared at it for a moment, then said: "I can't answer whether there is a secret or not. But in my opinion, unless there is clear evidence that there is a secret... like "Journey to the Umbrella", there are witnesses It also has a history.”

"Otherwise, it would be hard for me to believe that there would be secrets in the book."

Because "The Art of Blackness" is just a book, even if it really has secrets, and the secrets are hidden very deep, as long as it is in front of you, there is always a way to discover it.

For example, prophecy.

"The Art of Blackness" is not a mysterious thing, through the prophecy, it is completely possible to find the unreasonable.

As for whether "The Art of Black" will have anti-prophecy measures?This doesn't really matter, because if it really has anti-prophecy measures, wouldn't that prove that "The Art of Black" must have secrets?

The introduction on the crystal screen does not clearly contain measures to prevent prophecy, which means there is no.

Angel told Laplace his thoughts.

After hearing this, Laplace said suddenly: "The people of the Jingmu tribe are not stupid. Moreover, this book first appeared in the Tooth Fairy Ancient Market. Those ancient Tooth Fairies claimed to be scholars, and they are not fools. Can you Think of it, they can actually think of it.”

"Since they have thought of it, they still marked it in the introduction that there seems to be a secret hidden in "The Art of Blackness". Does that mean that there are really some unreasonable things in this book in their opinion? ?”

Angel was taken aback, he really didn't think of this level before.

He fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said, "I can't judge."

Laplace: "Since we can't judge, let's ask directly."

Having said that, Laplace paused the exchange of the psychic belt, but looked up at Jota not far away.

Seeing this, Jota immediately understood, and hurried over: "You two, are you planning to exchange for the third hidden treasure?"

Laplace: "That's what I mean, but before changing, I want to ask you a question."

Jota nodded respectfully: "Excuse me, my lord."

Laplace pointed to the last sentence of the introduction to "The Art of Black" and asked: "If there is a secret in a book, there are many ways to find it."

"But looking at your annotations, it seems that you haven't found the secret of "The Art of Blackness"?"

Jota nodded subconsciously: "Yes."

Laplace: "Since you didn't find the secret, why did you add this sentence directly? You added this sentence, does that mean that you have actually discovered that there is something wrong with this book?"

Jota recalled for a moment and said, "This... I don't know either."

Laplace looked at Jota indifferently: "You don't know? Or, you don't want to say?"

Jota quickly waved his hand: "I really don't know. I have read the original version of "The Art of Blackness", but I didn't find any secrets in it..."

Angel: "Then why did you add this sentence?"

Jota: "I didn't add this, but the giant city spirit added it."

Giant city spirit?Laplace and Angel glanced at each other.

In the soul belt, Angor's voice came: "He is telling the truth."

Through super perception, Angel can roughly judge that what Jota said is from the heart.He probably didn't find anything abnormal, it was the giant city spirit who really found something wrong.

Angel thought for a while, and said to Jota: "Can you ask the giant city spirit for us, why did it add this sentence?"

Jota hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "Okay, please wait a moment, both of you."

Jota walked to one side and drew a hexagram pattern on the ground with his scepter, and then his whole body was surrounded by the light of the hexagram, and Jota's eyes gradually closed.

About three or five minutes later, Jota opened his eyes and walked out of the six-pointed star formation.

"I just asked the giant city spirit, and it said that there is indeed something wrong in this book." Jota stepped forward and said quickly.

"Is there really a secret?!" Angel was taken aback.

Jota said it conservatively this time: "Whether it's secret or not, the giant city spirit doesn't know."

Because this does not involve the main content of "The Art of Blackness", Jota did not hide it, and explained the information he got from the giant city spirit in detail.

According to Juchengling, the person who discovered the secret of "The Art of Blackness" was actually a person from the Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins.

They found that inside the book, there is a lot of white space.It looks like hidden text is hidden.

This made them feel very strange, so they used some divination methods to see if there was really hidden text...

The results of the divination are very vague... It seems that there is indeed hidden text.

But how to activate and open these hidden texts, divination did not get specific results.

Jinghai scholars have done many experiments, which took many years, but there is no way to make the hidden text appear, so they can only give up in the end...

Later, this book was photographed by a member of the Jingmu tribe, who also studied it for a period of time, but still got nothing.After the clansman died, he handed "The Art of Black" to the Giant City Spirit.

After the Giant City Spirit researched it, he put the book in the Museum of Treasures and Treasures.

After listening to Jota's introduction, Angel's eyes flashed in a trance.

In the soul belt, he sighed to Laplace: "Sure enough, you are right."

There are many smart people, and he is definitely not the only one who thinks of using prophecy.

Moreover, other people have actually used divination, and they have really divined something.However, even if you know there is hidden text, and you don't have the means to activate it, you can only watch it.

Angel: "But having said that, I'm surprised that people from the Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins dared to put it up for auction even though they knew there was a hidden text."

"If these hidden texts are very valuable, wouldn't it be a loss to sell them at a low price?"

Hearing Angel's message, Laplace said indifferently: "Generally speaking, this kind of hidden text hidden in the blank space of the book is basically an interpretation of the things recorded in the text."

"You can understand it as... experience or notes after reading."

Just like a notebook that records spells, the main text is the concept of the spell and the method of manipulation, while the blank space may be some practice experience and practice skills left by the author of the script.

It is precisely because the hidden texts left blank are mostly explanations of the existing knowledge in the book; in addition, they really can't research the way to open the hidden texts.

That's why the Tooth Fairy Ancient Market is willing to sell it.

It is not only selling "The Art of Blackness", but also selling unknown hidden texts at a premium.
