Chapter 900 Sequence Four Prophet
“My name is Luca Brewster, a clergyman who serves the ‘God of Knowledge and Wisdom’, and I am currently in charge of various affairs of the church in West Balam.
"I originally expected that you would arrive at least a year after receiving the invitation letter. I didn't expect that in less than ten months, you would have already become the 'Secret Master'."
Luca, an old gentleman wearing a plain white robe with brass threads and neatly combed silver hair, briefly introduced himself and said to Abner in front of him with a smile:
"There are many copies of the 'Secret Technique' prepared in this house. You can study and research here at will for a period of time. Moreover, I have also selected several quite talented children in advance. You can transfer the 'Secret Technique' you have learned." Teach them techniques to help you digest the potion as quickly as possible.
"In addition, I also asked..."
"Wait!" Before Luka could finish his words, he was interrupted by Abner. He raised his hand helplessly and said with a little disappointment, "But I don't need these... I have already digested it." The Master of the Mysteries' potion."
Luka was stunned for a few seconds when he heard this, then showed a bitter smile and said: "It seems that you are not early, but late..."
"This is quite different from my 'prophecy'... Sure enough, fate is always elusive."
After sighing with emotion, he took out two pieces of parchment from the drawer of the table, handed it to Abner, and sighed:
"In this case, there is not much I can do to help you... only these two things may still be helpful to you."
Abner curiously took the two pieces of parchment, picked up the top one first, and read it carefully:
"Sequence 4: Prophet.
"Main materials: Absol's main eye, Mothman's true soul.
"Supplementary materials: 200 ml of Absol's blood, 20 grams of Mothman's wing powder, 10 grams of tree bark chips, 10 grams of golden grape fresh juice, 10 blue sawgrass roots, containing itself A notebook of breath and spirit.
"Promotion ceremony: complete an invention or discovery alone, display it, reveal the unknown content, and make as many people as possible shocked and admired by it. Then, before people's shock and other emotions have not faded, obey Eat magic potion.”
The content on the first piece of parchment was the "Prophet's" potion formula!
"The requirements of the ceremony are not as high as the 'invention or discovery that shocks the world' as 'Lion' Leon said. Obviously that guy's words are appropriately exaggerated... Of course, it is also possible that in his heart, inventions or discoveries are inherently important. It should shock the world, after all, it was brought up by Russell..."
Although the demigod formula is extremely precious, it only saves some time for Abner, who has obtained the extraordinary characteristics of the "Prophet" and can completely analyze the relevant information through the "Pure White Eyes", and is not that important.
So Abner just cursed a few times and put it down. Luca was not as happy as he expected, and he who wanted to "show off" felt frustrated again.
Unaware of the child-like thoughts of the old man opposite him, Abner picked up another piece of parchment and found that there was a list on it, a list that recorded many scientific research results.
"Radio and Magnetic Waves", "Principle of Photoelectric Effect", "Prevention and Control of Anthrax"...
Looking at the names whose painting style was not consistent with his own, Abner had some vague guesses, but still asked politely: "What are these for?"
Luca perked up after seeing the question. He first introduced the significance of these results in turn, and then said proudly: "These are papers that I haven't sent out yet. You can choose one at will, and then the church will find someone to operate it and help." You build momentum, and finally hold an academic conference to present the paper, creating a sensation in a certain circle...
"In this way, you can complete the ceremony relatively smoothly."
Hearing this, Abner twitched the corners of his mouth and said subconsciously: "Isn't this a fraud? Can such a ceremony be counted?"
"As long as others don't publish it first and make it known to the public, then it doesn't matter! In fact, someone else may have already researched similar results, but maybe they were buried by history... So, whoever gets it first will naturally count. It can't be said to be a fraud." Luka said nonchalantly.
You guessed it right. This knowledge has been studied in the old days before the First Age... But plagiarizing other people's results like this is not good after all, and it is inconsistent with my own personality. Taking it out rashly will only make people confused. It will take a long time for people to question, rather than be shocked... Well, it will probably take at least half a year to a year of preparation and operation before it can be successful...
But Mr. Fool will become a demigod in another two months, and the world will become more and more dangerous... I am the center of many conspiracies and whirlpools... Maybe I can't wait that long...
While his thoughts were spinning, Abner touched his chin and asked Luka: "What was the ceremony like for you to be promoted to demigod?"
"I..." Luka didn't hide anything. He recalled and organized his words to answer, "I have been teaching various knowledge to the generals and soldiers of the southern continent's warlords since the 'Secret Instructor' stage. Just before I was promoted, I asked the general to summon tens of thousands of soldiers, plus their families, to witness the whole process of discovering and excavating the bones of a feathered serpent based on my rich knowledge.
"Then in their shock and fear, they drank the magic potion and became demigods.
"But now that I think about it, the completion of the ceremony was actually quite a fluke. After all, the number of people was still too small. If I weren't a respected 'mentor' in their eyes, they would trust me and even worship me... and the Quetzalcoatl is here In the eyes of the indigenous people, they are like gods...I am afraid that I am lost in the 'river of destiny'."
"In other words... is it possible to discover something that everyone knows but has never discovered?" Abner seemed to have thought of something and asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, but it is different from inventing or discovering a certain rule and principle, which requires physical objects and a derivation process, so you must show your knowledge reserves, logical reasoning and a certain amount of luck to enough people..." Luka spoke neither fast nor slow. responded.
"I see...then the problem won't be big...with enough people, I can solve it myself." Abner stood up confidently, saluted Luca, and said sincerely, "Thank you for your answer."
"Don't you need my research results?" Luca asked in surprise, as if he had a "premonition" of something.
"Scientific discoveries are brewing too slowly... I thought of a better way." Abner replied with a smile, then picked up the parchment with the formula and asked again, "The auxiliary materials on this, Do you have any ready-made ones here?”
Luka thought for a while and replied calmly: "I still have some of 'Absol's blood'... which I can sell to you directly.
"As for the others, monsters like the 'Mothman' often appear in the Feysac Empire, and they may be found there.
"'Golden grapes' are a specialty of Intis, but they are monopolized by the 'Eternal Sun Church' and a few big families, and only some of them are produced in their manors.
"The 'Treant Mentor's Bark' is not a valuable item and can be easily purchased in Lundberg...
"'Blue Sawgrass' is not that common. I happened to buy it at an extraordinary party."
"As for the notebook containing your own breath and spirit, you don't need me to provide it, right?"
After saying that, he asked Abner to wait a moment while he stood up and walked to the back room.
While waiting, Abner thought in his mind: "Mothman's Wing Powder" can be asked to be found by Countess "Greedy". Her family has been rooted in Feysac for thousands of years and is likely to have a collection;
As for "golden grapes", even if Fanny's family doesn't have them, the Delien and Sauron families will definitely plant them, so it's not difficult to get some freshly squeezed juice;
"Treant Mentor's bark fragments", I first went to Edwina and Thales to ask. If they don't have them, I will pray to the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom"... If it doesn't work, I can only I went to Lemberg to buy it myself.
Although "Blue Sawgrass" is not common, members of the Church of the Mother Earth should be able to cultivate it.
As for the notebook...it's probably not too late for me to start journaling today...
After he straightened out his thoughts, Luca also came out with a spiritually sealed metal box and placed it on the table.
Afterwards, Abner inspected the goods and paid, expressed his gratitude to Luca again, and agreed to come to him to learn the secrets in the future, and then turned around and left this seemingly ordinary house.
After he left, Luka moved his jaw invisibly and said to himself:
"What a terrible young man. Just after meeting him once, my fate took a turn... The crisis that originally required someone's help to survive suddenly disappeared...
"Is this the crisis that has been eliminated, or has something changed that I can no longer 'foresee'?"
On the other side, after exiting the gate and boarding the carriage, Abner looked at "Chessia" who had been waiting here and smiled:
"Looks like we're in for an exciting adventure."
As he spoke, he took out a roll of parchment from his arms, which was the map of the "Sunken Laurel" left by Miss Russell as a thank-you gift from "Ms. Longwei" Miss Gwen.
"I'm just busy with expeditions and promotion arrangements. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to participate in the Tarot Club... Well, let's take a two-week vacation first."
…
April 12th.
In a building on the outskirts of St. Milon, the capital of Fusac, "Greedy" Miss Ksenia used her contribution to exchange "Mothman's Wing Powder" from the family's treasury.
After sealing the materials in a metal box, she prepared to leave the manor.
But while she was waiting for her carriage to arrive, she happened to hear several children of the family whispering in the garden.
“That Russell Gustav was great! Unlike the previous dramas and those crude silent films, this was a true masterpiece!
"Every lady and lady is very well-dressed and well-organized, and the actors' temperament and manners are also very good. It makes people suspect that they hired nobles to perform!" a girl said excitedly.
At this time, another young man also said excitedly: "I actually like the plot more. Russell is indeed the most legendary figure in the past thousand years. He is not from a high background, but he can make so many achievements. It is really amazing!"
Just as their discussion became more and more heated, a girl ran over panting and shouted: "Brain Film and Television Company is coming out with a new movie! It will premiere this weekend. It is said to be based on real events, and the name is ' Search for the Laurel'!"
"Really?!" Several boys and girls jumped up in surprise.
As soon as Miss Greedy heard this, she saw that the carriage had stopped in front of her. She stepped onto the carriage. After she was far away from her manor, she used her spirituality to seal the carriage, and then summoned a demon wolf messenger to bring the carriage to her. The materials obtained were handed over to it.
After doing this and recalling the conversation she just heard, "Greedy" Kseniya said thoughtfully:
"Is this the detective's promotion ceremony? Well, maybe I should go to the theater to watch it on the weekend."
…
April 13, Trier.
After picking a bunch of golden grapes from the Sauron family vineyard, pressing the juice into juice and sealing it spiritually, Elaine drove to her company in a good mood.
The success of "Russell Gustav" was just as Abner expected. It set a trend in Intis and even caused huge waves in politics. Many people, entrepreneurs and even officials and parliamentarians They all began to reflect, and some radical ones even proposed restoring the old system of the Gustavus dynasty!
After all, Intis was really powerful at that time. Even if the other three major countries joined forces, they were easily defeated.
This film evokes people's nostalgia for that era.
Although Elaine is from the Sauron family, she has no discomfort with this because she knows that even the stubborn ones within the Sauron family have many people who admire or admire Russell...
I heard that Abner has already edited the next film. I wonder if it will be more sensational than "Roselle"... After Elaine handed the "golden grape juice" to the summoned demon wolf messenger, she felt a vague feeling in her heart. I hope that the film and television company can achieve greater success.
She had great confidence in Abner. After all, many details in the previous "Russell Gustav" were his suggestions... and it turned out that those suggestions had excellent results.
"Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! Today's headlines, the hereditary viscount of the Kingdom of Loen is worth three million gold pounds!" At this moment, the newsboy's shout interrupted Elaine's thoughts. She thought for a while and asked the coachman to stop. Bought a copy of the Rheinische Zeitung.
"The 'Heroic Detective' traveled across the violent sea and discovered the 'Sunken Laurel'!
"Abner Brain presented the treasure to Lun and will soon be awarded the title of 'Viscount Beldan'."
Putting down the newspaper, Elaine's lips curled up slightly and she said silently to herself: "Abner is really generous...
"But in this way, no one will doubt that he found the Laurel, and he has successfully heated up the matter...The authenticity of the film will definitely be recognized by then...After all, everyone has preconceived notions that this is Real-time adventure recording...
“You can not only get the title, complete the ceremony, but also make the company a lot of money...
"These millions are a real bargain!"
…
April 14, Fenneport City.
Miss Crossfia's daughter, Miss Judy, carefully packaged the "blue sawgrass" she cultivated and gave it to her mother.
After putting it away, Crossfia said with a smile: "Look, Abner is about to be promoted to demigod, and your 'Druid' hasn't been digested yet... Do you feel very stressed?"
Judy shook her head and said nonchalantly: "He is special, I won't compare with him!"
Then, she deliberately changed the topic and asked curiously: "You were with Abner to protect the Laurel that he found, right? Tell me, was the process full of excitement?
"I saw Abner in danger several times in the trailer."
Crossfiya remembered the "staged shot" in the underwater vortex before, and the corners of her mouth twitched, but she still said mysteriously: "You will know after you watch the movie over the weekend!"
…
April 15, Lemberg.
After receiving Abner's request, "Iceberg Lieutenant General" Edwina rushed back here and bought the "Treant Mentor's Bark Chips" that the other party needed, and by the way, she and Abner The "Edwards-Brain Teleportation Technique" that had been sealed for a long time was submitted to the "Tower of Wisdom" for review.
It is worth mentioning that people in Lemberg, a city of knowledge and wisdom, are also talking about the new film of Blaine Films, but their focus is not on the wealth of the "Laurel", but on the trailer. Demonstrates how deep-sea vortices are formed.
And how Detective Abner Brain used knowledge to escape from the vortex... They were full of curiosity and expectation.
…
April 16, Saturday, Backlund.
Under the secret operation of Her Highness Vera, Abner Brain's acquisition of "Viscount of Beldan City" was finally recognized by the king.
As soon as this news came out, the public's attitude towards the film "Searching for the Laurel" became even more "fanatical", and they were eager to find out the "adventure" skills from it and become the next person to get rich.
As a former adventurer, Itris curled her lips and dismissed this...but he still queued up all night to buy tickets for tomorrow's premiere. After all, this was Freya's request.
The baby girl Torzina, who was just a few days old, spit out bubbles, causing the people in front of her silly brother to have diarrhea.
…
Sunday, April 17th.
Theaters in Loon, Fusac, Intis, Fenebort, Lunberg... and even overseas in Byam and some big cities in the Southern Continent opened at the same time, and countless people poured into the theaters.
Among them were Abner's friends such as Hugh, Forsi, Fanny, and Edwina, as well as friends such as Thales and Mr. Azik. Even Klein walked out of the bathroom, bought a ticket, and left. Entered the only cinema on Sunia Island.
Under the joint gaze of many people, Abner Bryan's adventure of discovering the "Laurel" begins!
As the plot develops, Abner in the film uses his knowledge and wisdom time and time again to avoid danger, and finally deduces the location of the "Laurel", and resolutely dives into the maelstrom. When he finally sees the treasure, the audience is shocked, envious, and awe-struck. Emotions come to a head.
In reality, Abner also drank the prepared "magic potion" in one gulp.
The cold potion slid down his throat, and Abner felt that he had entered a colorless, mechanically cold world filled with countless information.
That is the "absolutely rational world" and the place where the "River of Destiny" lies!
The pure white eye opens automatically, and the "Wheel of Fortune" and the "River of Destiny" complement each other...
About three or four minutes later, Abner stretched out his fingers and rubbed his swollen forehead. There was both surprise and joy on his face.
Surprised by the smooth promotion, but happy
He finally gained preliminary divinity and became a demigod of "reader"!
become
Sequence 4, "Prophet"!
