""The Art of Black"..." Angel lowered his head and muttered in a deep voice, seeming to be thinking about something.
Laplace glanced at Angel and did not disturb him.
About two minutes later, Angel raised his head and looked at Laplace: "There is a record in the invitation. Is "The Art of Blackness" related to which alchemy school?"
Laplace shook his head: "No."
"No?" Angel's eyes were slightly disappointed.
Laplace asked curiously: "Are you interested in "The Art of Blackness"?"
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 alchemy school. 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 temporarily abandon the "Book of Starry Sky"..."
Before Laplace could finish speaking, Angel quickly waved his hand: "No need."
"The reason why I am interested in "The Art of Blackness" is that it records the ancient alchemy school. I am not interested in the techniques recorded in it."
"Alchemy is a discipline that is never as old as it is. In other words, for wizards, every discipline and category will continue to improve with the passage of time."
"The ancient technology may have stood out at that time, but there is a high probability that it will not be king in modern times. This is because technology is constantly iterating, eliminating the bad and retaining the good, and developing step by step."
Just like mechanical alchemy.
This is an alchemy track that only emerged in this era.
As soon as he showed his talent, he immediately became the darling of alchemists. Its scope and possible effects are all-encompassing.
Angel also saw a travel diary in the R&D institute. The travel diary recorded that in a distant world, there was already a miraculous mechanical kingdom that stood at the pinnacle of the pan-plane in a short period of time.
This mechanical kingdom is a creation civilization composed of mechanical alchemy in the travel notes.
Wizards are always cautious in using words when recording words, and they never dare to use the word "miracle" indiscriminately.
In this travelogue, the rise of the mechanical kingdom is called a "miracle". If ordinary people read this passage, they won't think much about it, but any wizard with a little experience will definitely be surprised when he reads this passage.
Will think too much.
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 is promising.
Looking back.
There was no systematic mechanical alchemy in ancient times. This is a new school that was born after the alchemy technology slowly iterated from ancient times to the present.
This can also be regarded as evidence that the older the discipline of alchemy is, the better.
Of course, Angel also recognized that “nothing is absolute”.
Ancient alchemy must have merit, otherwise why would there always be some alchemists chasing ancient relics?
But even so, in Angel's eyes, at least 70 to 80 percent of alchemy techniques are based on modern standards.
Angler paused and continued: "Furthermore, I also have some understanding of the ancient alchemy schools. Many of these alchemy schools lack competitiveness and are slowly being eliminated."
"These alchemy schools that he eliminated have absolutely no monopoly on their technology, and once they lose power, they will definitely be divided up."
"Therefore, if "The Art of Blackness" is passed down from an eliminated alchemy school, its value will be further reduced."
Angel finally concluded: "So, there is no need to change "The Art of Blackness"... For me, it does not mean that I must get it if I am interested."
After listening, Laplace nodded.
Indeed, Angel's analysis makes some sense. Moreover, as an alchemist, Angel is interested in alchemy books, which is understandable.
Laplace: "Then let me continue talking about other things?"
Angel nodded.
Laplace looked at the crystal screen: "We have basically finished talking about the secret scroll, now let's talk about these treasures. Because the treasures are not like the secret scrolls, they have fixed names. Many times the treasures will change their names when they are transferred to other people's hands.
Therefore, I actually don’t know much about the treasures. The only ones I know so far are No. 78, No. 81, No. 88..."
Laplace continued to talk about treasures.
Angel listened very carefully at first, but after hearing the effect, he lost interest.
None are suitable for humans.
However, some of the effects sound okay, such as the "Kaleidoscope" numbered 81. It is called "flower", but in fact it has nothing to do with flowers, but has something to do with "kaleidoscope". As long as you use the mirror to shine on the living beings, the other party will
You will fall into a kaleidoscope-like confusing world, and it will be difficult to recover in a short time.
It is a very special kind of control treasure.
It's a pity that controlling the "Kaleid Mirror" requires polymerization energy, and no other energy can activate the mirror.
The treasures described by Laplace are basically similar to this. They are all related to polymerization energy. No matter how good the effect is, it has nothing to do with Angel.
Soon, Laplace finished telling all the known information.
Laplace: "Have you made a decision? Which three items should you choose?"
Angel was still a little hesitant: "The Starry Sky Book will definitely occupy one piece. The remaining two pieces may need 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 unknown. It would be really difficult to make a decision in a blind selection.
Angel's eyes returned to the crystal screen.
Previously, they focused on analyzing secret scrolls, treasures, and secret treasures. They did not pay much attention to the crystal shell.
Perhaps, these crystal shells can also be used as alternatives?
Angel browsed carefully. Although it is difficult to guess the specific effects of these crystal shells just by looking at their names. However, some of them are "specialized" crystal shells, and the special effects of these crystal shells can be vaguely seen.
Get some clues.
For example, No. 13 "Pond of Light - Specialization to Remove Spirits", Angel didn't know what effect the pool of light had, but he could guess some clues about "Specialization to Remove Spirits".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Eliminating spirits, in the supernatural world, mostly means eliminating negative energy, or even further, eliminating the contaminated power of the undead.
Light Pool - Specialized in removing spirits. If you look at this literal meaning, maybe it is a crystal shell with a "purification" effect?
Regardless of whether the guessed answers were obtained or not, Angel began to answer the questions 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.
At this time, they had been here for almost an hour.
After finishing here, they still have to talk to Yota and the Giant City Spirit about the Holy Corpse Crystal.
After calculating the time like this, there can be no further delay. Maybe the news of the Blood Disaster Ceremony has already been received by now, and the eight-hour preparation time for the divine blood clone is almost here.
Thinking of this, Angel turned to look at Laplace: "Well, in addition to the "Starry Sky Book", there are two positions in the psychic display cabinet. Each of us can choose one."
Laplace also saw that Angel was very entangled in wanting him to choose both, and he probably would be struggling for a long time, so he nodded smoothly: "Okay."
"Which one do you choose?" Laplace asked.
Angel hesitated for a moment: "I choose... the secret treasure number 90, Mond's color palette."
Although they had previously analyzed that this secret treasure might have some serious side effects or be ineffective, 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 your choice."
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, raising his head and looking at the number pointed by Laplace.
This sight made him a little surprised.
——"Number 49: Secret Scroll: "The Art of Blackness"."
""Black Art"? Why did you choose this?" Angel looked at Laplace in confusion: "Did you choose it because I am interested in it?"
Laplace shook his head: "No, I just invited foreign aid."
foreign aid??
Angel's eyes widened, full of doubts.
Laplace said lightly: "I actually don't know why he chose "Black Art". But after I told him all the numbers and the corresponding treasure names, he finally chose No. 49, which is
It’s The Art of Blackness.”
Angel: "The 'him' you are talking about is..."
Laplace: "Luigi."
Luigi Angel's eyes were dazed for a moment. When Laplace said that she had found "foreign aid," Angel guessed that Laplace must have used mind sharing to tell this story to his current body.
side situation
Let Time give you advice.
Based on Angel's understanding of Laplace's current life, he originally thought that it would be Gleipnir who gave the advice.
After all, Gleipnir is a diviner.
Tell her the situation, and maybe through divination, you can find the most suitable exhibit.
But what he didn't expect was that Laplace got the answer from Luigi?
Angel: "Why Luigi?"
Laplace glanced at Angel and said calmly: "What you actually want to ask is, why not Grapnir?"
Angel smiled and said nothing.
Laplace: "The reason why I didn't choose Gleipnir is because she has already obtained the Book of the Starry Sky, and her divination will be biased. Therefore, there is no need to go to her for divination."
"As for why I chose Luigi? The answer is very simple, because I can't choose. If I had to choose, I can only rely on luck to make a hard choice. But my luck is not that good. On the contrary, it is Luigi. He
His luck has always been good, and his intuition is very keen."
"So, I told Luigi about the situation and let him make the decision."
Although Laplace's answer sounds a little ridiculous, it actually makes sense if you think about it carefully. Although Luigi's intuition, or spiritual sense, is not as good as that of 'Red Sword' Doakes, it is definitely better than others.
People are much stronger.
Relying on his spiritual sense to choose, he is indeed the best companion for lazy people.
Angel: "So, Luigi chose "The Art of Blackness" through intuition?"
Laplace nodded.
Angel: "Did Luigi say that his intuition had any feedback on "The Black Art"?"
In other words, does Luigi know why his intuition led him to choose "The Black Art"?
Laplace shook his head: "No feedback, just intuition."
Angel was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the words "The Art of Black" on the screen, especially the character "black", with a trace of undetectable emotion flashing in his eyes.
When he talked about "The Art of Blackness" to Laplace before, he talked about the ancient school of alchemy.
While chatting, Angel actually had a flashback to an ancient alchemy school in his mind.
——Death Party.
However, this idea just crossed my mind at the time and I didn’t think much about it.
Now, through intuition, Luigi chose "Black Art" again, which made Angel's sinking thoughts resurface again.
Since Luigi's intuition chose "Black Art", it means that "Black Art" must be valuable to them.
And "The Art of Blackness" is a book related to the alchemy school compiled by human wizards, which excludes Laplace and her current life. The person related to "The Art of Blackness" can only be Angel.
Angel himself believed that he had little connection with the ancient school of alchemy.
But if I insist on saying so, it can only have some connection with the "Death Sect".
This is because the alchemy books that Angel brought back from Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm recorded many techniques related to the "Death Sect".
Will "Black Art" be related to the "Death Party"?
Angel felt that it might really be related.
As far as Angel knows, the "Death Sect" alchemy is the most mysterious faction among the ancient alchemy factions. What they advocate is "death and rebirth", and they symbolize "black" as the original state of chaos.
Odorus, a representative figure of the "Death Party", once said: "Black is a real color, because there are various varieties of black, and black is the origin of all other colors."
It can be seen from this that the alchemists of the death sect extremely admire black, and they believe that black is the symbol of "death".
As for the book No. 49, "The Art of Blackness", although I don't know what the content is about, the title mentions "black".
In addition, I clearly know that this book is related to the ancient alchemy school.
Both of these clues are very consistent with the style of "Death Party".
Thinking about it this way, it is really possible that "Black Art" records the contents of the "Death Party".
If it is really a book from the "Death Sect", Angel 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 they have a lot of information about the internal ideas and thoughts of the school.
There is almost no detail on the relevant history.
And "The Art of Blackness", since it talks about "art" and is also related to "blackness", maybe it tells the deep-seated philosophy of the "Death Party".
Angor really wants to see some content related to these...
