The Lord Of The Mysteries

Chapter 57's

After pausing for a moment, Klein continued writing.

"The essence of solving problems with herbs is through digestion, not just controlling them. This can be understood plainly.

“Just controlling it would be the same as using potion power as an external tool. A tamed savage beast no matter how well controlled it was would ultimately not be a part of a person. The risk of turning it on will always be there. As for digestion, it is to see the fallen herbs as part of them.They can break them down, fuse with them, absorb them, and form an entire system.

"Right now I'm sure of this. More important is how 'acting' helps digestion.

"According to my experience as a Diviner today, I was able to come up with two hypotheses. They can be verified in the future."

"One: Acting on the name of the potion changes the state of one's body, heart, and soul, making them closer to the stubborn souls left over from the potion core. This produces a resonance that allows for gradual assimilation and absorption.

"Two: The stubborn soul spirit left over from the magic medicine might be like a computer with a complete defense mechanism. If someone wants to attack him and destroy him, they need to find a bug, security hole, or key. The name of the herb provides appropriate clues; thus, we can disguise our body, heart, and soul as 'part of the system' through acting, and thus we deceive the defense of the system. This line of thought is similar to the description of Emperor Roselle.

"No matter which guess is correct, there is no way out of the body, heart, and soul, because they are the only bridge between acting and potion power."

Klein put down the questioner and looked at the paragraph of the text. For a moment, he even wanted to thank her for the education she received from the Foodaholic Empire.

No matter whether he chose science or engineering for his further education, he was equipped with the basics of logical thinking. Otherwise, there was no way he could become a keyboard warrior, nor would he be able to analyze his current situation.

"Acting may have an effect, but we have to wait and see the specifics" Klein guessed.

After that, he wrote down the second question.

“Why is an Astrologer, who is more learned and professional in the realm of mysticism, lacking the means in terms of direct combat? Wouldn't being more learned and professional make a Diviner stronger, give them strength? the ability to find a way to defeat their enemies?

"Reason could…

"First, like the web novels I've read in the past, I've moved into a game world that has come true. So, different 'jobs' come with different specialties that must be balanced against each other. This point, there are no signs of this world becoming a game, no, there are also no signs of development like the mission.I will withhold this excuse, but it is highly unlikely.

Second, the basic law of the world is balance. The Creator created this world with the core idea of balance.

"Three, potions at the same level of order will have the same level of strength. This is the most optimal state based on what our ancestors discovered and summarized. Exceeding this level of strength would make it easier for one to collapse and lose control. Below this level of power will make it such that one will not get the desired Beyonder power.So, under the situation of a balanced level of strength, the, being stronger in one area naturally meant that one was weaker in another area.

“Fourth, everything in this world comes from the same source; they are formed by the remains of the Creator. So, everything in this world is technically a fragment of the Creator, and the fact that they must complement each other means that there is an inherent flaw in a person.

"i lean towards the third and fourth reason, but the latter comes from unconfirmed myths and can only serve as a guide.

"So, I'll use the third reason as a guide, and try to make sure it uses my current knowledge and future studies."

At this point, Klein had already written two full pages but did not stop. Instead, he wrote a new question.

"From what I learned today, my luck-enhancing rituals were categorized as classical ritual magic.

"A similar type of ritual magic can be divided into three parts, the first being the sacrifice that sparks interest from the corresponding existence. The second consists of spells that specifically describe the existence in question. The third is to use simple formats and symbols to convey it.

"Using this as a benchmark for analyzing luck-enhancing rituals, there is an obvious problem." There is no third part!

It has a sacrificial aspect in the placement of staple foods and runs square counter-clockwise with four steps. There is also a clear indication as to who the mantra is, as the phrase, 'Blessing Comes from the Eternal Sovereign of Heaven and Earth.'

"But all I did after that was close my eyes and wait. There was no ritual that described the purpose of increasing my luck.

"In other words, the corresponding existences have no way of knowing what is called the luck-enhancing ritual, and can only do what they want…

"Truly troll! Isn't the 'Classical Forecasting and Arcane Art of the Qin and Han Dynasties' too much?

"I must have had a stone in my head back then for trying …"

Klein stopped writing and took two deep breaths, trying hard to calm himself down.

He spat out a foul breath and continued to write.

"i could consider redesigning the ritual, making it more complete. The ritual motive was to return to Earth, return to the world with my parents and friends.

"Then the question arises: does the entity really act of its own accord? Or is there a deeper meaning to it?

"Also, are the entities designated by the descriptive mantra in this world the same entities from Earth?

“If so, the difference in results between the first and second rituals can be explained as an entity doing what it wants. But the result of me appearing above the gray fog for the second and third time, while being able to connect to Justice and the Hanged Man basically has no difference, why is that?

"Is the difference between the first ritual and the next ritual—with the premise that the entity I am calling is the same—means that the result will be different depending on the world I am in? It's like I'm using a different interface…

"Then how can I design it to get the results I want?

“If I think that the entity behind the first ritual and the next ritual is different, some questions can be answered perfectly. Nevertheless, the stability of the results in the second and third rituals meant the entity I prayed for had a certain agenda, and there was no way I could change it for now.

"The most important question is the identity of the entity directed by the ritual. Where is He, and why does He not give me any clues or clues?

"Could He be far away in the world of fog?

"Hmm, can I treat Him as a sleeping entity, an entity that will give a fixed response if I give him a certain stimulus, but will not interfere with what I am doing other than that?

"Then I can introduce a different ritual as a stimulus and conclude whether the feedback I receive is ordinary. That way, I can find the correct return method.

"But the problem lies in the possibility that He did not sleep. In this case, such a test might produce terrible results. It might be very dangerous.

"The first attempt should be done very carefully. The design should not anger the creature …

"What a headache. I need more knowledge."

Klein sighed and gave a summary.

Finally, he wrote down another item.

"There is always a formless voice echoing in my ears, shouting 'Hornacis and... uh, does it say Frygrea or Feygrea?

"Hornacis is the mountain range that separates the Loen Kingdom and the Republic of Intis. Its main peak is six thousand meters above sea level.

“According to the records in the Antigonus family diary, there was an Overnight Nation in the Fourth Age. Is the Overnight Nation related to Goddess Overnight—is there a connection between the two? Are they allies or enemies? Is there a connection between the two? the Antigonus family was obliterated by the Church of the Goddess Overnight due to the Nation of the Evernight?

"Did I hear the murmur coming from the diary, from the howls of the Antigonus family for one or two thousand years?

"Then what does Frygrea, eh—Flegrea mean?

"An interesting question. To be able to leave such a diary, leaving Closed Artifacts 2-049 implied that the Antigonus family possessed relatively strong Beyonder powers. If so, which order do they have? Is that true? complete or incomplete?

"My realization that the diary was in Ray Bieber's hands was a bit of a coincidence, but with no indication that it was being set up, can my fate really be tied to that diary?"

…

His ideas are written on a piece of paper. Klein tried his best to write down the events he had experienced and his guesses about their meaning.

He wrote a total of four pages on either side of each page.

Died! Klein suddenly tore through four pages and read them from top to bottom, sometimes marking specific sections with his questioner, adding a few sentences at a later time.

Time flies fast. The red moon was temporarily covered by dark clouds. Klein took out a pocket watch on the table, opened it, and looked at the time.

He put down his watch and took out a box of matches from his drawer. He turned on one and brought it closer to four pages of notes.

The orange flames lit up the edges of the paper and quickly spread.

Klein placed the banknote on a wooden trash can and saw the ashes fall.

He then removed his fingers, letting the papers fall off. In just ten seconds, everything had disappeared. All that was left was the still-rotating ash and the scorched bottom of the trash can.

Because there is a secret diary of Emperor Roselle in this world, Klein did not dare to leave any evidence that he knew how to write Mandarin—if Old Neil and the others found the four sheets of paper he wrote, he would not know how to explain it.

And while writing the secret question, Klein was worried that people who noticed his dream would be able to see and decipher its contents no matter what language he used, be it Loen, ancient Feysac, or Hermes. Therefore, he could only write notes in Mandarin to organize and summarize. After he was done with the task, he burned the note so as not to leave a trace.

And precisely because there was no way to save, he made a plan for himself. He would do this summary once a week in case he forgot something.

As he watched his ashes fall, Klein took out a white sheet of paper. He wrote the caption: "For my esteemed mentor,"

He wanted to write a letter to Senior Associate Professor Quentin Cohen, asking if he had any relevant historical information about the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range.
