Infinite Throne

   Chapter 333 GM

   "First of all, based on my personal experience, I will briefly explain the principles of alchemy to the boss."

   Xing Fei's voice changed, and his tone instantly became professional.

   seems to be saying.

   No one knows alchemy better than him.

   "Alchemy, which was popular in Europe in ancient times, is actually a science, and there is no mysterious power."

   "Of course, some ancient alchemy books that have been handed down also have certain reference value."

"And the alchemy I learned in a certain world is a kind of 'enhancement'. In that world, there is a supreme existence called 'truth'. Only with the existence of 'truth' can we slap both palms and release Alchemy comes. Otherwise, without being beaten and nurtured in that world, in the real world, at most, you can only blow flasks and play with alcohol lamps."

  Xing Fei was talking and seemed to be a little swollen, and his tone began to twitch.

Um?

  Yi Rin noticed that Xing Fei had a Chinese language problem.

  Flask…is it for blowing?

  How to blow?

  Xing Fei did not notice the fault in the words, and continued to say:

"The identity of an apostle is equivalent to a medium, a medium that connects the real world and 'that world', allowing me to feel the 'truth' in the real world. I did an experiment not long ago to let a Ordinary people, completely in accordance with the method of alchemy, paint into formations, brain-enhanced formulas, analyze material elements, and perfectly follow the principle of equivalent exchange..."

   "But in the end there was no reaction at all."

"So I personally came to a conclusion that certain types of reinforcement require the blessing of a certain 'world power'. Without the apostle identity as a medium, there is no way to perform this type of reinforcement. Of course, there may be methods, but I am temporarily did not find."

   Yi Rin understood what Xing Fei meant, and after pondering for a while, he drew inferences from one case and said, "You mean that the person who summons the alien creatures in this way must be an apostle?"

"It should be close to ten, otherwise it would be too weird. Let's go back to this matter, I checked some information, the black magic that prevailed in the Middle Ages is said to be similar to the magic in the novel, but the steps are more complicated. They are the same It is through some media, such as the corpses of animals and insects, human organs, incense, medicine, and then in complex ways to complete rituals to show various abilities."

"Of course, I haven't seen these in reality, they are all legends. It's hard to say if there are any exaggerated elements. However, according to the scene you described, those hundreds of people sacrificed their lives voluntarily. , I have a little idea about summoning otherworldly creatures."

Xing Fei took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and while flipping through the book, he said: "It is said that there is a black witchcraft ritual of 'summoning the devil', which is similar to what you said. However, some experts have studied this history and said that It was those wizards who were able to summon the 'Demon King' because of hallucinations caused by taking a lot of hallucinogenic drugs."

   "Expert... Hehe."

  Irin laughed, noncommittal.

"Well, in short, after using science to explain these mysteries, everything has become ordinary. The video a few days ago probably hit a lot of people in the face. In fact, I think it took the lives of hundreds of people to summon that Big guy, it is somewhat similar to the basic law of alchemy, 'equivalent exchange', with the same quality of life, in exchange for the same quality of 'creature'."

"But I'm curious, how is the value of human life measured? There should be no way to quantify the value of each person, right? Age, weight, wealth, gender? In short, I think it's weird, and it's hard to fully explain it. Pass. It's beyond my knowledge, and I think you've got the wrong person."

   Unquantifiable?

Do not.

  Irin frowned.

   Actually it is possible.

   He suddenly remembered the "chaos value" he got every time he killed someone.

   Isn't this the embodiment of quantifying "life"?

   In the view of "Tower", life can be quantified, weighed, and even recycled.

  Irin closed her eyes.

   He recalled the scene again.

  After all the sacrificers committed suicide, a blue streamer like fine sand gathered from their bodies…

After the    Chimera appeared, the blue light that once wrapped around me...

   What kind of channel did it pass through to reach this world from its world?

   When it appeared, it was rotting all over. Is it related to that blue light?

   When Yi Rin was thinking, Xing Fei said to himself again: "However, although I can't give you the conclusion, I have a guess."

   "Huh? Please speak."

"Those complicated and cumbersome ceremonies, whether it's the size of the venue, the mantras recited, or the number of sacrificers, etc., may be equivalent to playing a 'coordinate' role, accurately locating a certain place in a certain world. life, which may be the real meaning of these rituals."

"If you think about alchemy, are these cumbersome steps, materials, and spells similar to some kind of 'formula'? Through different matching combinations, like codons, the corresponding 'monsters' Summoned."

  Coordinates?

   Formula?

a?

   Yi Rin's eyes narrowed: "Is this kind of ceremony related to the specific number of sacrificers, or even the time to start the ceremony?"

"There must be, these black witchcraft are most concerned with the right time and place, and the time to start the ceremony should even be accurate to a certain day, a certain hour, or even a certain minute, and even their position on the summoning formation is also important. This is all said in the book, I think they were so particular at the time, there should be some reason."

  Irin heard the words and was thoughtful.

   He didn't say anything more.

   After all, Xing Fei has nothing to do with this matter, and there is no need to involve him too deeply.

  Irin knows pretty much what he should know.

   When you are ready to end the call.

Xing Fei suddenly remembered something and added: "By the way, there is one more thing about the fragrance you said you smelled during the ceremony. Not only in medieval Europe, but also in ancient Chinese alchemists, there are similar records. But what has been handed down is only a few words, not a lot."

"E.g?"

"In ancient times, it was said that there was a powder made from 'blue clove' as the main raw material. After being ignited, it would emit a mysterious fragrance. It seems that I thought this group of people were taking drugs, but after listening to you, I don’t know if it has anything to do with this matter.”

   "This is somewhat in line with what you said about the group of people who were insane at the time."

  Retracing the past and returning to the present, wandering too far, completely forgetting yourself?

   Is the next sentence detached from the world?

   Is it so fantastical?

  Xing Fei finally ended the call in fear.

   He swore that, unless he died, there would never be a word, not even a punctuation mark, of this incident today.

  Xing Fei was afraid that Yi Rin would kill him.

   Actually, Irin thought about it carefully, but he didn't say any secrets that had to be silenced to hide.

   But since Xing Fei was so brainy, Yi Rin could only let him go.

  From Xing Fei's side, Yi Rin didn't come up with a definite answer on this matter.

  But it also expanded Irin's ideas a lot.

   After chatting with Xing Fei, Yi Rin saw that his psionic energy was almost consumed, so he put away the two mothers and daughters, Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu, who were watching TV with great interest, ready to sleep.

  Wang Tiandi's eyes widened, his breathing was short, and he pressed the remote control under his butt, as if he would be in a hurry with anyone who dared to turn off the TV.

  Irin can only let this stupid dog stay up all night watching "Animal World" and sleep alone.

   was speechless all night.

   The next day.

  Three poles on the sun.

  Irin fell asleep and woke up naturally.

  I haven't slept in such a comfortable bed for a long time.

  Master Ma's small dormitory was extremely aggrieved. If it wasn't for the situation, Yilin wouldn't go to sleep again if he was killed.

   After waking up, Irin was bored and wandered in the laboratory.

  Unexpectedly, in one of the laboratories, Yi Rin found the figure of Pan Zhengyi.

   A lot of researcher ladies and sisters are circling around Pan Zhengyi.

   And Lao Pan was wearing a costume that was obviously an "experimenter", lying on the bed, laughing.

   This guy, the dark circles under his eyes seem to be deeper.

   It's been a long time since I closed my eyes.

  Irin watched curiously for a while, and found that these researchers were actually doing research with Lao Pan.

   "What does Lao Pan have to study?"

  Irin slowly made a question mark.

   It can be seen that Lao Pan is not worried about his life, and it seems that he is enjoying it, and Yilin does not bother.

   This guy, with a terrifying luck value of 8.6, it is estimated that only natural disasters can collect him.

   Maybe you will live better than anyone else in the trial, so there is nothing to worry about.

After   Irin came back, he had seen his own apostle panel.

   Now, I have a whole new understanding of "lucky value" and "charisma value", which seem to have little combat power.

   Luck and charm also have limits.

   Call it a "lock".

  Irin in Litai City, with the help of [Spearman's Blessing], by chance, ordered the luck value to break through to the lower limit of zero, reached the realm of negative numbers, and even realized a powerful enhancement.

  —【Echoes of Doom】.

   When the luck value exceeded the lower limit, Irin felt as if she understood something.

Ah, what a pain to comprehend.

   The more unlucky he is, the stronger he is.

The feeling of    is very similar to the feeling he had when he broke through the mental lock at the beginning. The invigorating feeling of having everything under control is very comfortable.

But at that time, after all, it was with the help of props to forcibly break through the lower limit. After the effect of the props disappeared, the luck value on Yilin's panel returned to 2.6, and in the "Enhanced" column, [Echo of Doom] also dimmed, and it could not be used. Check it out, it's gone.

   After knowing that there is such an operation, Irin is full of expectations for the future trials.

   Drop, you can drop, continue to drop, if you don't drop, I will be anxious for you.

   Since then, Irin has another secret.

   After ignoring the nervous old Pan, Yi Rin found Molly again.

   After all, I returned to the laboratory without a word last night, so I had to say hello to the master.

   Molly looked surprised when she saw Irin coming back.

   What surprised Yilin even more was that Molly's first sentence was:

   "Did you sneak back some time ago?"

   "Huh? When?"

  Irin heard the words and was stunned for a moment.

   I'm back, why don't I know?

   "Not you?"

   Molly was also stunned.

   The two stared at each other for a while.

   Molly hesitated again and again, but told Irin without concealment that she had obtained a mysterious USB flash drive for no reason.

   "GM?"

What's the meaning?

  The two of them closed the door, and they were alone in a room.

   After confirming that the surrounding area was absolutely safe, Molly handed the mysterious USB flash drive to Irin.

  Irin frowned, looking at the two letters engraved on the USB flash drive, lost in thought.

The two letters    were not engraved with a laser. On the contrary, it is like using a knife, hard to carve on the metal shell of the U disk, and the workmanship is rough.

  I don't know why, but Irin always felt that this font looked familiar.

   but unfamiliar.

  Irin was about to plug it into the computer to see the contents of the mysterious U disk, but Molly was so frightened that she took the U disk back from Irin's hands.

   That expression is very much like a little hen protecting her calf.

   "Soul, don't plug it in! I specially encrypted this U disk, it can only be opened with my dedicated computer and in a specific way. Otherwise...it will explode in place."
