Lord of the Silver Crow

Meanwhile, Ashes Manor.

Viscount Di Lude stood in front of the study window, watching the gradually setting sun, whispered:

I really didn't expect, Roya, that you would step into the sequence at the instigation of the Rose Church.

The eyes of this elegant and reserved middle-aged man were filled with anger.

Behind him, is a young girl in a gorgeous cake dress.

She has light red hair that reaches to her waist and wears a white bonnet.

Sorry, Father.

The girl lowered her head.

never mind.

Viscount Di Lude breathed out:

I originally wanted to find a sequence that was complete and safe enough as a way for you to step into the mystery. But now, since you have chosen to step into the sequence, you can only move on.

Viscount Di Lude turned around, stepped back slightly, and leaned against the window. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled behind him, making his body appear pitch black:

I've told you before that among the nobles left behind, those who can continue to exist are either unrelated people who have no connection with the mystery, ordinary people who have been put on the stage as puppets or decorations, or are those who survived the epic era. descendants of the 'blue bloods'.

Of course, there are also mysterious smart people who come into contact with other nobles or churches by virtue of their status as decorations, but their understanding of the 'sequence' and the mystery is extremely limited.

Only the blue-blooded can touch the real mystery.

A true mystery?

Well, I don't know the details. The information left by the ancestors is quite limited.

Having said that, Viscount Di Lude sighed again, and then continued in a neither fast nor slow tone:

It's too early to tell you these things. That's information that even I can't understand.

You should know, right? How the mystery is formed?

After listening quietly, Roya lowered her head and fell into silence, as if she was remembering something.

After a dozen breaths, she raised her head again and looked at her father who was watching her:

Well, potions can not only act on humans, but potions can act on any living thing, even non-living things.

Yes, the origin of the potion is the legendary 'meditation method', the 'meditation method' of the 'wizard'.

The incomplete information left by the ancestors, through the speculation, conjecture and experiments of the ancestors of the past generations, we know that the ability of the 'sequence' of the potion is the 'spell' controlled by the wizard through a specific way of 'meditation'.

Yes, but now, the method of 'meditation' can no longer be found. It is not simply to eliminate thoughts and let go of the mind to visualize. This method of 'meditation' is quite complicated.

So, now, if you want to control the ability of the corresponding sequence, you need to be compatible.

Fit?

Yes, fit. After taking the potion, you need to make your actions fit the 'symbol' of the potion, and gradually master the power of the potion through this method.

Symbol, that is to say, meaning?

Roya half understood and proposed another word as an explanation.

Well, the meaning. This explanation is a bit vague. It should mean something like 'theme' or 'gist'.

Viscount Nafar considered it carefully and explained carefully:

Generally speaking, the 'symbol' of the potion is the name of the potion, but the church, various secret organizations, as well as the nobles and the royal family will deliberately hide the existence of mystery and extraordinary power, and will mislead.

If you are not a member of this faction, the name of the potion you get may be fake, or a specious name that deviates from the original meaning.

If you carry out 'imitation' according to this name, at least it will not be able to digest the potion, or it will cause good or bad mutations in the ability, and at the worst it will cause the sequence to 'get out of control', fall into madness, or even die.

Such a serious consequence made Roya's heart skip a beat, and then she repeated:

Imitation is needed, right?

Well, it can also be said to play, imitate, imitate, for example.

Viscount Nafal pondered for a moment, then asked:

What is the name of the potion that the Rose Church told you?

Hearing this, Roya pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and replied:

Girl.

Girl?

Viscount Nafal was slightly taken aback, without comment:

Well, there is no deviation from the symbol, but in the records of the ancestors, the symbol of this sequence is two adjectives—

Simple and...pretending.

Simple? Pretend? Roya couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard this.

Yes, the so-called acting is to be consistent with the symbol.

You need to show simplicity, but it's 'innocence in disguise'. If it is true simplicity, it does not deviate from the symbol, but because of this, you cannot fully digest the power of the potion, and the power is incomplete.

Viscount Nafar emphasized:

'Girl' does not deviate from the symbolic meaning, but it cannot be said to be completely correct. People from the Rose Church should have told you that you want to play 'Girl', right?

Well, they asked me to 'study'. Roya thought for a while.

Study? Do you want to blur the method even for your own people? Forget it, at least you didn't mislead.

Viscount Nafar shook his head, and his figure with his back to the setting sun appeared even darker:

In short, if you want to better grasp the power of the potion, you need to act as a 'camouflaged simplicity'. You have to let others see that your innocence is a disguise.

Roya thought for a moment, nodded, and seemed to have understood what it meant.

There is a problem here. Mysterious substances, as long as they match the 'symbol' of potions, can act on non-living things and make non-living things have extraordinary effects.

Items that produce extraordinary power will be called 'mysterious objects'.

Whether the mysterious objects are used as materials for researching potions, researching sequences, or as props, all organizations will pay attention to them.

However, the mysterious things that are transformed from non-living things have no self-will, and their abilities are basically fixed and will not change. However, their types will vary greatly, so the abilities of different mysterious things will also be different. .”

Overall, though, the general direction will be the same, even if there will be changes in the details.

However, the mysterious objects that are exactly the same, even with the same production process, produce different powers because of the same potion.

Same sequence.

Nafar rubbed the center of his brows, a faint red light appeared in his pupils.

Under the background of the setting sun, looking at the faint red in her father's eyes, Roya couldn't help but think of the azure blue light that was completely different from the eyes of Bishop Rose who made her determined to step into the sequence.

Viscount Nafar's eyes were glowing red, and he slowly uttered words that made Roya's heart chill for some reason:

There are differences, or in other words, pros and cons.
