Chapter Seventy-Six: The Record in the Book
Ronald picked out a total of two books, namely "Recommended for Novice Investigators" and "Basic Occult Knowledge" that he saw at the beginning.
For him at the moment, this is the best book to read right now.
Although Arida did some mysterious science popularization work for him before, and the detective also chatted a few words, but because the conversation between the two was relatively loose, the news they got was also very one-sided.
There is now an opportunity to be informed through a formal written record.
Ronald definitely wasn't going to miss it.
With two selected books in hand, Ronald walked to the door of the document warehouse.
"Have you chosen?"
Hearing Ronald's footsteps, the old man turned his head to take a look.
When he saw the two books in Ronald's arms, he had an appreciative look on his face.
"You're smart, kid."
"For someone who is new to the industry like you, the first thing to do is to avoid being too ambitious and not too anxious to come into close contact with these things."
"Good choices, they're a good fit for you."
While not hesitating in appreciation, the old man picked up the dipping pen on the side and wrote the names of the two books on the notebook in front of him.
The tip of the pen paused here, and the old man asked:
"What's your name, young man?"
"Ronald."
"Ronald ......"
Ronald's name was muttered in his mouth, and the old man wrote it without hesitation, and at the same time clearly marked the borrowing time of the book after the title.
"Alright, you can go down first."
"Just don't take the book out of the bureau."
Finally, a word of advice.
The old man opened the drawer in front of him, took out a rather avant-garde picture book from it, and then looked at it intently.
Ronald nodded, and then headed downstairs.
The lobby on the first floor of the Bureau of Investigation was still empty at the moment.
Returning to the back of the front desk with peace of mind, Ronald put down the "Novice Investigator Recommendation" and first opened the "Basic Occult Common Sense".
Revere these demonic texts.
- Stat Robin
Only then did I open the cover, and a sentence was proudly printed on the clean page.
This is the author's reminder to all the occultists.
On the title page of the book on the side, there is also a general introduction about this person.
【Stat Robin】
- Male
- Date of birth and death unknown
One of the great pioneers who ended the Dark Ages and opened the path for the Spellcaster.
- The ancestor of the profession who pioneered and spread the art of engraving.
- The final bearer of the blood of the gods.
- The notes were summarized by later generations as "Basic Occult Knowledge" and published.
Ronald flipped back further.
Filter the table of contents of the introduction, and then the content of the book.
The first chapter of the book begins with a reflection on the power of the original text.
- The original text itself has a very dangerous power, so anyone who has access to this power, I recommend that everyone think carefully and study or exercise this power carefully.
Further back.
The author of this book summarizes the basic common sense of the mysterious side of the era and comes up with a hypothesis that fits the experimental situation.
Stadter believed that there was a mysterious power in the world that could not be seen by the naked eye, heard by the ear, touched by the touch, or smelled by the nose.
At the same time, under some kind of natural law that has not yet revealed its true face, these mysterious forces spontaneously condensed, and then became some books that humans could not understand.
This is how the original canon was born.
As long as they succeed in cracking the secrets, the bearer of the original tome will be able to master abilities far beyond ordinary people. This does not necessarily mean possessing very powerful destructive abilities, but rather something that ordinary people cannot achieve with the power of mortals.
It's like if you wave your arms hard, no matter how hard you try, you can't fly high in the air like a bird.
Cracking the original text successfully can help you break this common sense.
One of the most essential things is that human beings use the medium of the original texts to control the imperceptible things, that is, the things that various schools describe as magic, magic, and mana.
Interestingly-
Stadt discovers that the location of the birth of the original canon is basically related to its own ability.
It's like a texton of plant-related abilities, which was born in the jungle with a long history, and the original text of animal transformation abilities first appeared in the beast's nest.
However, getting the original text doesn't mean that you have it.
In addition to the difficult deciphering work, danger also comes with it.
Just knowing this taboo knowledge even requires you to be able to master it.
This invisible and qualitative mysterious power will begin to imperceptibly change around you.
And those who possess this trait, he calls it "seed".
The number of [seeds] reaches a point where after a period of time will cause the most dangerous thing in the world.
- The alienation of the world.
In order to prevent the world they inhabited, it gradually degenerated into a strange magical realm. Stadt calls on everyone to protect this secret, and to establish a mysterious side code for their peers around the world, so that ordinary people must not become [seeds] like them.
That's probably what the book says about the fundamental rules.
What follows is Stadter's research on his own original texts.
As a scholar, he does not intend to cherish himself.
Based on the school's unique knowledge passed down from his teacher, Start learned that it was not necessary to master the original texts to exercise this mystical power.
By using the power of their school's original texts to create runes, and then carving them out, they can evolve into a medium.
After the medium is completed, it is now possible to engrave the spells from other original texts in the center of this rune.
This is the imprint of the school of thought that prevails in our time.
Holding the school sigil, as long as you directly or indirectly see the original text, and then recite the mantra correctly. The medium can help to communicate the relationship between the two, and give the person the ability to cast spells in the dark.
"Whew-"
Ronald breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't feel tired at all when he read the book, and even spent a lot of time.
Turn the page back.
The rest of the content is a bit of a legendary novel.
These include the various magical adventures and perilous life journeys of this man named Stadt.
At the end of that dark age.
He can sum up this knowledge, and he can definitely be regarded as one of the most important pioneers on the mysterious side of this world.
Click-
At this moment, the door to the headquarters of the Bureau of Investigation was pushed open.
Ronald put down the book in his hand and followed the sound to look outside.
Unlike the overcoat-clad investigators on Bronwich's side, five distinctly dressed men barged in through the door and walked straight in front of him.
Immediately, the man who seemed to be in the lead spoke:
"Hello, we're sent by the Springs headquarters."
"Where is Mr. Willard now?"
