Chapter 34: Decomposing the Relics (Additional chapter for the leader Wu Shangzhonglin)

Ivan.

Spiritual approach, profession is a psychologist.

This is the most special supernatural being Sean has met in the real world so far. Whether it is a psychiatrist or a psychic, both are high-risk professions in the weird country, because they can hear ancient indescribable whispers, and the psychic can tamper with memories and implant thoughts, planting mental hints that ordinary people cannot perceive.

"It's best to keep a proper distance from him."

Xiao En never thought of placing his hopes on a psychologist. He was more inclined to temper his own will, and the strange ability to modify and delete memories really made him feel very fearful.

However, investigators do delete some memories.

In some strange incidents, the investigators suffered severe mental trauma, and the psychiatrist would perform mental surgery on them, deleting one day's memory, or some terrifying memory fragments. If it was just regular mental pollution, they would just need to plant a mental hint so that they would not deliberately think about it.

Most investigators and night watchmen were not very close to psychiatrists, and Ivan should have gotten used to this a long time ago.

——"Those who play with the mind will eventually be played by the mind."

Nine out of ten people who advance through the spiritual path to the late stage end up going crazy.

Building 3, 12B.

Xiao En returned to his residence, closed all the doors and windows, and then began to prepare for the ceremony.

The rituals taught by Ms. Hecate are very simple. There are not so many fancy things. Even sacrifices are not needed. The three elements required for many rituals do not need to be gathered together. Sean only needs to arrange the most basic rituals.

Normally, the completion of a ritual requires three core elements. The first is the extraordinary essence (the relic), the second is the correct ritual (to activate the power), and the third is the honorific name it points to (which can be a certain phenomenon or an ancient being).

Most rituals rely on external forces.

In order to increase the success rate of the ritual, many extraordinary people will also prepare some additional sacrifices to please certain beings. (Offerings, spiritual sacrifices, blood sacrifices, etc.)
The ritual taught by Ms. Hecate does not have the last step, which means that Sean only needs two elements, one is the extraordinary essence and the other is the correct ritual.

Such a thing as ritual.

If no one responds, then it is just a decoration and has no supernatural power.

There are many honorific names that the ceremony points to at the end, and it can even point to oneself, but Lady Hecate did not teach Sean anything about this.

"The debts you owe now will have to be repaid in the future," said Lady Hecate.

A cluster of blue flames emerged.

Xiao En suspected that the ritual knowledge he had learned, and the honorific names they finally pointed to, were all Ms. Hecate herself. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why he didn't even need to gather the three core elements for the promotion ceremony.

how to say.

Sean felt that Lady Hecate had given him an inside line without him even noticing.

This might be the treatment that a disciple of a big boss gets.

"In the early stage, it must rely on rituals to decompose, but in the later stage, it can be refined at will." Xiao En said to himself.

In the cluster of blue flames, the roots of the Touch of Flesh and Blood suddenly began to tremble, and then it melted in the center of the ceremony. Faintly, Sean heard a shrill scream. The extraordinary relic in the center of the ceremony squirmed and decomposed like a maggot, and then a pool of dark red flesh and blood tissue flowed out and merged into the runes around the ceremony.

These are the transcendental essences that are broken down and serve as one of the driving forces of the ritual.

Wizards don't want these.

Xiao En gently raised his fingertips, and as the mysterious knowledge in his brain flowed out, the runes arranged for the ceremony began to light up with lavender light one by one. The knowledge cheered and spread along the traces of the runes, eventually completely enveloping the residue in the center of the ceremony.

Knowledge begins to digest them!
This extraordinary relic was decomposed bit by bit before Sean's eyes. Those parts that possessed unique supernatural powers were gnawed away by the knowledge he possessed. Certain laws contained in its flesh and blood were transformed by countless knowledge into a method of operation that Sean could understand.

The whole ceremony takes about three minutes.

When the extraordinary relic in front of him was completely decomposed, the flowing mysterious knowledge returned to Xiao En's brain, and a new spell appeared in his memory.

——Damage transfer (2 rings).

This process is not that Sean is learning spells, but that the mysterious knowledge is devouring the spells, and the power they possess is transformed into the power that Sean possesses.

"The magic in this world is really a bit crazy." Xiao En muttered. He picked up the table knife and cut open the palm of his left hand.

A trace of blood seeped out.

next second.

As Sean activated the mysterious knowledge in his brain, raw magic power began to flow in his body, and the scar on the palm of his left hand suddenly appeared on the palm of his right hand.

"Level 2 spells are cast more slowly." Sean was very keenly aware of this.

Although the order of the old world has completely collapsed.

However, one old tradition has been preserved, that is, it is not recommended for the extraordinary people of the wizard path to take risks to fight before they have completely digested the extraordinary essence of the first stage. In the old times, they were wizard apprentices who had not yet officially graduated, and they were extremely rare resources. Most of them were still learning basic knowledge under the protection of their mentors and elders.

Only after mastering the third level of magic can a wizard apprentice be considered to have officially graduated and possess considerable combat power. (About 3 extraordinary levels of graduation.)
As for the career path on the combat side, it doesn't matter, just throw it out there and hone it, and you will improve faster.

Night falls.

Xiao En poured himself a cup of black tea and leaned on the balcony to digest the knowledge he had memorized today through reading magic.

"I now have a life-saving skill."

"It's time to increase the attack power a bit."

Xiao En was playing with the revolver in his hand. The gun was good enough to deal with the strange monsters on the flesh side, but it was barely enough to deal with those indescribable illusions.

“There are two ideas at the moment.”

"One is to continue to accelerate the accumulation of mystical knowledge and directly jump to the enchantment stage to enchant the bullets of firearms and add supernatural powers."

"The second is to learn and master other combat spells to make up for the lack of combat spells."

Only children do multiple choice questions.

Xiao En wants them all!
Because of the accumulated knowledge from his previous life on Earth, his knowledge is far higher than that of other extraordinary wizards, so Sean's improvement speed will be faster. There is still a chance to complete these two points at the same time, but it will be a little harder for him.

"I still owe Benjamin 1000 dinars."

Xiao En took a sip of the black tea, looked at the workers getting off the night shift in the distance, and said to himself, "I wonder if he caught the wandering poet who used his charm to seduce the lady?"

The wizard path also has charm spells, but extraordinary relics are relatively rare.

High-sequence wizard spells also include Transfiguration, which can directly allow wizards to have combat capabilities equivalent to those of combat-type extraordinary people, but other spells cannot be cast while transformed.

"I'm a little short of money!"

Xiao En rubbed his forehead and murmured, "A salary of 3000 dinars a month is indeed a bit insufficient."

"I have to find a way to fight in the wild."

It seems that being a wizard is not that easy.

Xiao En felt the financial pressure shortly after his promotion.

He stood up and looked in the mirror.

"Ah."

"Very handsome, a bit like a younger version of Keanu Reeves." Sean touched his chin and looked at the mirror in front of him. He had black hair and brown eyes, sharp eyes, handsome features, and a high nose bridge. He looked a bit like the protagonist of The Matrix.

"How about I use my strengths to find a young, beautiful and rich woman first?"
