After reading the introduction of this dressing mirror called "The Voice of Oblivion", Angel vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Making the user forget about a certain person or object" is not a very strong effect and can be achieved using magic. For example, Angel can also achieve the corresponding effect by using the power of nightmare to invade other people's brains.
It is even said that without extraordinary strength, a simple physical impact may short-circuit the brain nerves, throw the memory box into the abyss of thoughts, and ultimately achieve the result of amnesia.
Therefore, in Angel's opinion, this prop was a bit useless. He didn't understand why Crowley specifically recorded it in the book and wrote an annotation specifically.
Could it be because Crowli made this dressing mirror himself, so he deliberately recorded it?
Angel's eyes stopped at the second row of "Hopa coefficient: 2". What is this Hupa coefficient? He has never heard of it.
Doubts arose one after another, which made Angel frown, and a strange feeling filled his heart.
"Maybe there will be an answer later." With doubts, Angel looked at the next page.
The hand-drawn illustration on the second page is still very clean and clear. A few simple lines outline a flying meteor.
However, this meteor is not a real meteor, but a meteor with a fairy tale cartoon style. It is a regular pentagonal star with lines around it that are long and short, symbolizing that it is shining; behind the star is a trail drawn with gold powder.
The arc of light represents that it is flying by.
Just looking at the illustration, Angel was actually filled with doubts. He had previously speculated whether the illustration was a prop refined by Crowley himself, but now this fairy tale-like meteor appeared... Will someone really refine it? Refining it
What are you here for?
Full of doubts, Angel lowered his gaze and looked at the introduction of the illustrated book.
"Name: Star of Hope"
"Hopa coefficient: 36"
"Attribution: Unknown"
"Effect: If you see the Star of Hope, just pray. Maybe your wish will come true... although the chance is slim."
This introduction of information directly exposed Angel's previous speculation. From the effect point of view, this almost involves a mysterious and mysterious fate. In Angel's view, alchemy is difficult to achieve... Maybe, there is really someone who can
It can be done, but Angel is currently unable to imagine it.
Also, if it was really refined by Crowley, he probably didn't know who it belonged to.
Angel continued to look down and saw Crowley's notes on this illustration.
"Remarks: In this world, the answers to many things are already predestined. You try your best to get them, but in the end you still can't get them. But if you make a wish to the star of hope, as long as you work hard, you can at least move it.
That destined ending gives you a glimmer of hope... Well, no matter how slim it is, there is still hope, right? Every three hundred years, the Star of Hope will appear once, so seize the opportunity to pray to it."
After reading the notes, Angel was stunned for a long time.
Putting aside all the strange things mentioned in the notes for the time being, and simply analyzing the state of mind when writing the notes, it can be seen from the writing that Culloli is more like an absolutely calm recorder than a participant.
This also shows once again that the items in the illustration are not refined by Crowley, he is just recording his existence.
After confirming this fact, I looked back at the Star of Hope's notes and found that they were still filled with a sense of destiny.
Many things are fate, and you must accept it; but with the help of the Star of Hope, you can show a way out of the shackled fate. As for whether you can grasp hope, it depends on whether you can grasp it.
Opportunity.
It can be seen that the Star of Hope gives a little hope, but hope may not be so easy to come by.
When Angel read it at first glance, he felt that the effect was average, but it was not something that alchemy could achieve. But after considering the notes carefully, he had new feelings.
The word hope has meant elusiveness since its birth. If hope is really so easy to obtain, then it cannot be called hope at all.
Therefore, the effect of "breaking the absolute dilemma and having a glimmer of hope" is actually not ordinary.
Also, there is no written limit on the introduction of the Star of Hope, which is very scary to think about.
Everyone's request and dilemma are obviously different, so when you encounter the star of hope, the cause and effect of your prayer will naturally be different.
But the stars of hope seem to treat them equally, tearing apart the shackles of absoluteness and opening up a path of hope for different wishes.
The range of this threshold seems to have no interval and has reached infinity?
If this is really the case, then the effect is not ordinary, but outrageous!
Although Crowley didn't explain it clearly, Angel could still vaguely feel that the Star of Hope could really bring a glimmer of hope to all difficulties.
It seems that the refiner of the Star of Hope, if there really is a refiner, did not consider the so-called threshold at all, but gave the Star of Hope the ability to ignore the law when it was first born.
This feeling gave Angel a familiar taste.
Breaking through the limitations of the law, completely illogical... isn't this a mysterious thing?
"Could it be that this illustrated book introduces mysterious things?" As soon as Angel's thought arose, he quickly occupied the high ground of his thoughts, directly eliminating all the previous doubts, and said in his mind
Thousands of rays of light show an absolute sense of existence.
"Yes, only mysterious things can make sense!" Angel's eyes suddenly lit up, and the previous feeling that something was wrong was instantly eliminated when he used "mystery" to explain it.
Angel now almost believed in his heart that this illustrated book recorded mysterious things! However, he still needed to find another supporting evidence.
Angel quickly turned to the next page.
The illustration on the next page is an envelope that looks very exquisite, with golden dark patterns on all sides, and even the seal has golden ink pads inlaid with pure white feathers.
Crowley probably used a lot of gold powder when he drew it. Even if it's just a flat illustration, it looks glittering.
"Name: Time Light Postcard"
"Hopa coefficient: 24"
"Belong to: Lawful Guild"
"Effect: Send a postcard to someone at a certain time in the future. The postcard can be attached with one of your abilities for short-term use by the future recipient."
"Remarks: This is a gift from the old days. But, you who cannot see through time, do you really think that the person in the future is worthy of your gift? Of course, if you are sending it to your future self, just pretend that I didn't say anything.
"
After reading the introduction of the Shiguang postcard, Angel didn't think about whether the effect was reasonable or not, because it was simply unnecessary.
All his eyes were focused on the ownership of Shi Guang's postcard.
Lawful Guild!
Others may not understand what kind of organization this is, but Angel, who has interacted with Frost, has already obtained information about this lawful guild from him.
This is a super-star federation in the source world! The main job of the Lawful Guild is to recover out-of-control mysterious objects and avoid causing greater disasters.
In a sense, the lawful guild is where most mysterious things belong!
Because a mysterious hunter who can recover out-of-control mysterious objects must also carry mysterious objects with him.
The Time Light Postcard can be collected by the Lawful Guild. Considering its illogical effect, it is basically certain that it must be a mysterious object.
Then the previous speculation became clear, this illustrated book is indeed a record of mysterious things!
What makes Angel a little confused is that Frost once told him that mysterious things are very private things and are not easily disclosed. How could Crowley know so many mysterious things and deliberately do it?
Study by hand drawing?
Angel remembered that in order to find a hidden room, Rhine used a time gap in the laboratory on the third floor underground, and he sensed a mysterious smell at that time.
Judging from this piece of information, is Crowley studying mysterious things? Or is he actually a mysterious alchemist?
Angel pondered for a moment and put aside this question for the time being. The answers to these questions may be obtained from "The Chronicles of Crowley", so he can put them aside for now.
Angel turned the page back to the first page.
After confirming the authenticity of this hand-drawn manual, the "voice of forgetfulness" recorded on the first page seems to be a mysterious thing.
Angel was a little concerned, why did the effect of this mysterious object seem so weak?
Angel read the introduction to the Voice of Oblivion again. From a literal point of view, Angel made two discoveries.
The first is the Hupa coefficient. The Hupa coefficient of the latter two mysterious objects has reached double digits, while the Hupa coefficient of the Voice of Oblivion is only a mere "2".
Once upon a time, Your Excellency Isabel told him that there is a set of levels of mysterious objects in the source world.
Could it be that this refers to the Hupa coefficient?
Could it be that the higher the Hupa coefficient, the more powerful it is? Because the Hoopa coefficient of the Voice of Oblivion is very low, only 2, so its effect is not satisfactory?
From a practical point of view, this guess has a high probability of being the correct answer. But Angel still feels a little weird in his heart, because can strength and weakness really define mysterious things?
When an alchemist measures whether an alchemical item is powerful, he basically starts from the energy level. Whether it is the destruction energy level, the defense energy level or the energy level contained in it, there are intuitive and clear differences in levels.
