Chapter 40 Detailed Explanation
Regarding the basic interpretation of singularity, Antar's statement is similar to the golden font.
Strangeness is the blessing received after praying to the gods. People with strangeness are named exorcists.
The entry standard for having a singularity is to become the most basic scholar-level exorcist. This grading method is not actually exclusive to the Night Watch organization.
In this world, there are several other churches, and they have different titles.
The night watchman organization is also a form of existence of the church.
Then, the explanations given by Antar and the golden font began to differ.
According to historical records, at the beginning of the formation of the world, thirteen primitive gods were born. They protected mankind and blocked the edge world.
Hope, the old dream god, and the illusion of divine enlightenment given by Linden in the dark dream, all belong to the ranks of primitive gods.
They had their own followers, forming twelve types of churches, and the prototype of the Night Watch organization was formed.
Correspondingly, these believers have twelve different singular classes.
That's right, there are twelve types. Among the thirteen original gods, there is one extremely special one named Mystery.
The Mystery, Lord of the Gods, rules over singularity. He is the beginning of everything, the starting point of all gods, but leaves no trace of his rule.
Therefore, there is a saying circulating in this world:
Everyone is a believer in the mysteries, or anyone who does not believe in the mysteries is a heretic.
As a user of singularity, you can have your own beliefs, and you do not need to perform rituals to worship the mystery.
but,
You absolutely cannot deny the existence of this person. This is a generally recognized taboo.
And as the gears of history turn, not all churches can inherit and retain it.
When believers no longer prosper, when the church is no longer strong...any existence is not eternal.
Antar specifically used illusion as an example. As early as hundreds of years ago, illusion no longer had new believers, and the fresh blood of hallucinogens was cut off.
Including the Night Watch organization, its survival situation is actually not very good. Outside of Loft City, the Night Watch's influence is minimal.
Compared with the popular large churches, the Night's Watch organization can only hold Loft City around, and that's the limit.
This news made Lyndon extremely surprised in his heart.
No new blood?
So what's going on with me?
Illusory divine revelation...Linden suddenly realized that he might be hiding a quite terrifying secret.
It was so terrifying that even he himself had no idea how it came to be.
Antal continued to explain.
Generally speaking, you must join the corresponding faith institution to have the opportunity to understand divine revelation and possess singularity. This method is called orthodox singularity.
But this is not an inevitable prerequisite. There are also some outliers in this world who can obtain singularity through special means.
There are actually far more than thirteen gods, there are many gods who can grant strangeness.
The reason why the original gods are regarded as supreme is because they have extraordinary significance in the long history of mankind.
Moreover, the singular promotions they give will be more stable and powerful than other gods.
Some believers who are unable to obtain the twelve orthodox singularities and have powerful talents will obtain lower-level singularities through their own special channels.
It is worth noting that one condition for believers to successfully obtain singularity is that the number of followers of a certain god must reach a certain order of magnitude.
The greater the number of believers, the greater the probability of receiving divine revelation among these people.
Just like illusion, even believers no longer exist, and hallucinogens will certainly not appear again.
Therefore, in terms of overall strength, small churches are absolutely unable to compete with orthodox churches.
However, this lower level does not completely determine the user's combat ability.
For example, a master level with less singularity will be far superior to a scholar level with orthodox singularity.
There are quite a few factors that affect the strength of combat ability.
Falcon is the spy of the old Dream God's faith, but when it comes to fighting ability, she is far inferior to Antar as an ordinary person.
The increase that the scholar-level singularity brings to the human body is not very exaggerated. Ordinary people can surpass scholar-level exorcists through high-intensity professional training.
If you want to get promoted, you need to improve your personal strength. Students like Falcon who specialize in special functions will be stuck in the scholar level for a long time if they focus on the use of singular functions and ignore their own strength training.
Once promoted to a messenger-level exorcist, the overall strength is far beyond what ordinary people realize, and no amount of training can make up for this gap.
This is why when Antal mentioned in Linden's personal office that the case might involve the emissary level, he looked worried.
As long as the envoy-level news is confirmed to be true, any number of Antals who come will be regarded as sending their lives to death.
"What needs to be pointed out in particular is that before you became a snoop, you were able to take away Jana, who is unfamiliar to you, and take her as your personal night watcher. This is unprecedented.
The boss may have directly valued your talents from this aspect, and then did the subsequent things."
Linden nodded, he could indeed accept Antar's statement.
Before joining the Night's Watch, Antar offered him an olive branch many times.
At that time, he had not accomplished anything!
Regarding Ian's special care, Lynden has never given himself a good explanation. Just because he surrendered well, this reason does not seem to be strong.
It would be understandable if he thought of himself as a ready seed for spies.
It is not difficult to judge that every member accepted by the Night Watch organization hopes that they can achieve divine enlightenment. With one more snoop, there will be another strong guarantee.
If after the divine revelation, there is still a chance to be promoted to a spy, or even a master of spy, a grandmaster... then to the Night Watch organization, this member will be a walking treasure and a living wealth.
Falcon, a partial snoop, even among the same group, Ian even called her the "eldest sister".
Its status is self-evident.
And the late Caterina,
Linden suspected that her strength in life might have reached at least the messenger level, otherwise Falcon would not be so afraid of the red-haired woman who was suspected to be Catalina.
So, I have become a hallucinogen...will this affect my future development?
He didn't want to give up the mystery and power of the ancient mantra.
He also longs for the official status of a night watchman, as well as subsequent promotions and exposure to more secrets.
"That's all I have to say."
Antar's explanation indeed made him understand a lot in an instant.
The golden font is more about introducing concepts from the beginning of singularity.
Antar's explanation combined with contemporary times gave Linden a deeper understanding of the world.
"So, then again, what does Sweet Whispering Smoke have to do with singularity?"
After absorbing a lot of new knowledge, Linden brought the topic back to the current investigation case.
Greg followed and said:
"Singularity needs to be replenished. If the state cannot be restored in time, the special ingredients of Miyu smoke can actually promote the regeneration of singularity in a small amount.
Moreover, after becoming a snoop, you can almost be 100% resistant to the side effects of such psychoactive drugs. Therefore, Sweet Whisper Smoke can be used as a tonic for all exorcists."
"Then... may I ask, what are the plans? You said that you can provide several tracing plans. How should I start?"
"The first option is to go to the West Street Black Market. I can give you a list of people who have the route to sell Miyu Cigarettes. You can investigate which of their customers have dealings with the Lewis family and may also be involved in the sale of black goats.
"
"This is too inefficient. By the time the identity is fully confirmed, the suspect may have run away. What about the second option?"
"The second type... is not easy, but there is a chance that you can quickly confirm the target."
Greg smiled mysteriously.
"Difficulty is not a problem, I pursue efficiency."
"Tomorrow, the Black Goat Baby Club will organize a large-scale exchange meeting. At that time, many nobles will participate. The bad guys will not miss this opportunity to recruit people."
"Invite people to join us?"
"Don't be confused by Louis, black goats are very ordinary animals, not the monsters we control today. Otherwise, we would have closed down that club long ago. The bad guys want to attract nobles to cultivate 'high-quality goods', they will never
There are better opportunities than exchange meetings.
I can help the three of you get invitations, and you pretend to be nobles and sneak in, looking for anyone who is smoking honey cigarettes and acting sneaky."
"Then there may not be candidates who meet the goals."
"Yes, yes, and you asked me to pretend to be a noble. Isn't this embarrassing me?"
Antar quickly added after Linden finished speaking.
"So, what I said is probability. The choice is yours, Mr. Linden."
"OK!"
"Huh? You agree now?"
"why not?"
Lyndon explained his reasons as a matter of course,
"I have to go to the Black Goat Baby Club sooner or later. If you have a good opportunity, don't miss it!"
He still had a selfish intention that he didn't say out loud,
It would be better if you can encounter situations where you need to fight,
After becoming a hallucinogen, I can't pick an opponent to try it on because my hands always feel itchy.
Of course, just think about it.
