Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 44 Quote of the Talisman

"Success."

……

Listening to the layers of responses ringing in his ears, Star, who received Klein's message, faintly heard a hint of excitement. Although he knew that this should be an illusion, he could still understand Klein's mood at this time.

After all, this should be the first time that the gray fog space has shown a different reaction in front of Klein.

Under his guidance, Klein will be able to freely bring materials and items in and out of Sefirah Castle.

"However, since you have already experienced the benefits of the talisman, Xiao Ke, then it is not excessive for me to price this talisman a little higher, right?"

Star grinned and quickly calculated how many gold pounds he would sell the "tampering" charm to Xiao Ke for.

His thoughts were in a mess, and soon he came up with a plan, and also thought of another thing.

"So the limit between reality and illusion is so high?"

He muttered to himself.

He only carried a casually made "tampering" charm that could remove the receipt and badge from the gray fog.

I’m afraid this is the same as the Azik copper whistle.

You must know that Azik is the son of the "God of Death" and his resurrection successor, the "Archon of Death", a sequence 2 angel in the "God of Death" path.

And the talisman he made by simply using cheap bronze fragments to absorb the power between reality and illusion was equivalent to his copper whistle that was imbued with aura.

Then, the level between reality and illusion is probably higher than I imagined.

Not to mention that Xiao Ke's original spiritual power at Sequence 9 was not enough to keep the "Gate of Summoning" open, and he needed to obtain Sequence 8 "Joker".

However, his "tampering" spell actually took effect in the Sefirah Castle above the gray fog, helping him open the summoning door.

Even though this spell was a specially customized version, according to the status of Sefirah Castle, that space would only react when Xiao Ke tried to spy on the True God and other related things.

Other things will be suppressed in the space above the gray fog - for example, "crying hunger" becomes "hunger that dares not crawl".

So, does this mean that the difference between reality and illusion must at least be based on uniqueness or even the level of true God?
Star secretly guessed that this was the real purpose of asking Xiao Ke to do this ritual experiment - to find out the level of the status between reality and illusion.

He wasn't just out of boredom trying to promote his own spells.

After discovering that the "tampering" spell could work on the messenger lady, he thought it was because the messenger lady was in a special "disabled state" and did not think much about it.

But now it seems that the "tampering" spell that personally infuses power between the real and the unreal is not only effective on angels like the Messenger Lady, but can also be effective in Sefirah Castle - even if Klein actively uses the spell.

This is enough to illustrate how high the upper limit between reality and illusion is.

The fact that Star was able to be pulled up by Klein at the first Tarot meeting and complete the meeting was probably due to the fact that Star had "rolled the dice" several times between reality and illusion.

From today on, Star must raise his assessment of the difference between reality and illusion.

Having such a powerful plug-in is really——

Thai pants are hot!
"You can be bolder when you want to do something in the future, right?"

Star's mouth curled up.

……

In the days that followed, Star followed his schedule - he would buy groceries and cook delicious food in the morning, then start typing, and only wolf down his food at noon, go for a walk in the afternoon, and return to study some mystical knowledge in the evening.

Occasionally, Xiao Ke would come over to eat and be teased by him in a neurotic manner.

The messenger lady got two books from somewhere - one was the "Mysterious Book" that Star had asked for, and the other was a relatively basic book on mysticism, which recorded common sense about mysticism that just met Star's literacy requirements.

With this knowledge of occult science, Star made up for many of his shortcomings in the field of vision and learned some practical skills, at least he could open his psychic vision at will. The messenger also said: If you need her to answer, you can summon her at will. After all, Star doesn't need to charge her to summon her this year, but it only costs a small fee to answer Star's questions - the transaction items are those "tampering" spells.

Although the knowledge of this world has a price.

When Costa heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that the messenger lady had become more sophisticated in learning business routines. Following the "members free summoning fee", she has learned to launch the "member discount in-app purchase" service.

The two occult books eventually resulted in the messenger lady taking a total of 15 talismans from him, forcing him to go through another ritual to make some "tampered" talismans to replenish his memory.

Of course, due to the improvement in sequence, the "tampering" spell he made this time was greatly improved compared to the first time.

Not only has the "dice roll" spell become more powerful, its range and flexibility have been improved to the point where its own Sequence 8 "Mumbling Patient" [Imagination] has a bonus effect.

You can also choose which other abilities the talisman will carry, such as [Whispering], [Confusion], and [Empathy].

This function also has some limitations. In this case, talismans with higher sequence abilities cannot appear.

In order to ship the goods, Star, the former "gambler", naturally chose random.

As for the final result, I won’t mention the number of spells that played into Star’s original abilities.

However, Star also obtained four talismans with identification functions, two talismans that can accelerate the emergence of extraordinary characteristics, and two talismans with the ability to restore one's own state.

Star felt that these talismans with higher-order abilities might be difficult to obtain because the carriers were just cheap copper pieces, and even if they were obtained, they would not exceed the mid-sequence range.

If he used more advanced spiritual materials, maybe he could make a better talisman?
However, Star is quite satisfied with the current production process that allows him to occasionally ship products.

After all, it only costs a small amount to obtain the subsequent sequence ability "experience card", which is already very good.

During this period, he did not take back the "tampering" talismans that he had left with Xiao Ke.

It’s not that Xiao Ke suddenly became a nouveau riche, made a fortune, and could afford Star’s talisman.

But Star was too lazy to spend spiritual materials to hold a bestowal ceremony for these talismans.

The cost of the spiritual materials for the bestowal ceremony is enough to make more talismans.

After seeing Klein's expression of wanting to buy the talismans but being dumbfounded after hearing the offer, Sta, feeling satisfied, pretended to be generous and acted like a senior, giving the talismans to Xiao Ke half-purchased and half-given, and told him to return them when he had the chance.

Star was also somewhat envious of the powerful Yangyan Talisman that Klein would later obtain.

I just wonder if the talisman has burned Xiao Ke’s pride?
Klein had just been immersed in the joy of finding a good job and getting a promotion and a pay raise in the future...

Thinking of this, Star felt that he should do something for this serious reason - to make Xiao Ke accept it.

So at that time, he bowed his head devoutly and said deliberately:
"This is what I should do."

"After all, I am your beloved, Mr. Fool."

This made Klein so embarrassed that he was too embarrassed to use those "tampering" spells to continue experiencing the feeling of summoning himself.

Perhaps it was because the talisman was too expensive and Klein was so distressed that he was reluctant to use it.

Klein, who knew the value of the talisman to a certain extent, also wanted to keep it as a trump card.

Once he becomes Sequence 8, he will be able to open the Summoning Gate on his own.

Aside from the embarrassment, a question also emerged in Klein's mind.

How strong is Star? How does he compare to the captain who holds the Sealed Object?

After all, the last time he checked Star's astral body in the gray fog, he found that he looked not much different from the Hanged Man.

Not to mention that Star was promoted a few days ago.

Being able to make such an expensive talisman and getting promoted once, at the very least I can at least be on par with the captain, right?
