Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 13 New Member: Mr. Hermit

In a previous project, Odysseus unexpectedly discovered that the ability of the "Recorder", the "Reader" Path Sequence 6 "Scholar"'s "Imitation" ability, and the "Scroll Professor"'s ability to create scrolls were all advanced applications of mystical knowledge and symbols under the influence of extraordinary abilities!
So he began to study the abilities of these three Sequence 6s one by one, and today it was time to study the "Recorder".

The first step is to look for information. The light balls that make up the tower represent all kinds of knowledge. You only need to touch the light ball in the center of the room with your hand to search with your mind.

However, at present, Odysseus can only retrieve partial knowledge. For example, he once looked up the relevant knowledge of "potion formula", but only got the two sequence 9 formulas of "Secret Peeper" and "Generalist".

Odysseus could feel that a lot of knowledge could not be found because his authority was not sufficient.

However, the knowledge currently available is enough for him to complete most of the research.

After searching for a while, Odysseus discovered that descriptions of the "Recorder" ability essentially consisted of the following: the caster's eyes reflected an illusory, slowly turning pages of a book. The mutated "brain" recreated the target's extraordinary ability, then activated some of its cells to form corresponding symbols, patterns, and logos, completing the storage.

This is “I came, I saw, I recorded”, using the spirit as the pen and the spirit body as the paper!
Odysseus stared at the information in a daze: "What is the principle behind using symbols, patterns, and logos to store Beyonder abilities? Is it just a 'black box' operation generated by Beyonder characteristics?
"Since symbols, patterns, and logos are used, can we use the corresponding extraordinary materials and corresponding magic arrays to replicate such abilities?"

About two years ago, Odysseus thought that such research was useless. Was it really worth it to do a lot of research and experiments and finally use priceless extraordinary materials to make a low-profile magic circle with similar abilities?

For example, the "Eight-pointed Star" magic circle he built in the basement, the transmission distance cannot exceed 50 kilometers, and it can only establish a fixed channel. After using it once, you have to rest for 1 hour before you can use it again.

The initial cost of the entire magic circle is about 4000 pounds, and maintenance is required in the later stage, which costs about 300 pounds per year.

If it is a seal that matches the "Traveler", the price is about 12000 pounds. Of course, because the seals of this channel are relatively scarce, there will definitely be a premium.

Taking 12000 pounds as an example, the initial cost of the teleportation array is already one-third of this price, but the effect is far from that of a seal. After all, a seal with the ability to "travel" can go wherever it wants.

Judging from the effect, the low-end version of the magic circle is actually not cost-effective.

But later Odysseus decided to continue his in-depth research on magic circles and mystical symbols, because such research would definitely result in huge losses for others, but not for him.

The research process was completed in the "Knowledge Wilderness", and the magic array established in the outside world was almost 100% successful, saving a lot of experimental costs and time.

In addition, although the effect of the magic circle created is very poor, its negative effects can be easily avoided.

As long as extraordinary materials are used, certain negative effects will occur, but these negative effects are basically borne by the magic circle.

Like the "teleportation array" created by Odysseus, as long as the rule of not being reused within an hour is followed, there will be almost no negative effects.

This is also the reason why the subsequent maintenance costs so much money. The gems in the magic circle, as well as the symbols and graphics written with spiritual materials, will break or fall off after being used about 50 times at most, and will need maintenance.

For Odysseus personally, this research direction has great prospects, but there are still many problems that need to be solved. It can only be studied and used on a small scale and is not universal.

Odysseus first spent more than ten hours searching for and reading relevant information. Of course, he would rest for two hours every five hours of work.

You don’t need to sleep here, but you need to rest, otherwise it will affect your work efficiency.

The next step is to conduct specific theoretical research, which requires the use of the light ball in the center of the room. Odysseus named it the "Central Simulator", which can simulate extraordinary abilities of all types, but the level of ability is currently limited to Sequence 5 and below.

At the same time, it can also simulate the attack of the target or enemy to test Odysseus's research results. The simulation here is almost completely equivalent to the effect under the same external conditions.

After Odysseus expressed his needs to the ball of light, an illusory figure appeared before him and began to repeatedly use the ability to "record." After continuous observation, Odysseus finally had a research direction.

First, he understood that the process of exerting this ability was that the mutated brain of the "Recorder" first analyzed the extraordinary ability that appeared in front of it, and could use the corresponding symbols, patterns, and logos to "record" that ability with the spirit of the extraordinary person.

The analysis process is an ability that Beyonders possess after taking the potion. This is the first "backroom" operation of this ability.

In addition, Extraordinary people do not need to learn anything, and corresponding symbols, patterns and logos will appear in their brains. This knowledge is also provided by Extraordinary characteristics.

Odysseus's research direction is: with relevant knowledge of corresponding symbols, patterns, and logos, can a Beyonder who is not on the "apprentice" path analyze an Beyonder ability?
Of course, without extraordinary characteristics, even if the ability is analyzed, it is impossible to use it like the "Recorder", but if you can reach the stage of analysis, it will be a great progress.

This is like a code cracking. Once it is cracked, it is possible to simulate all extraordinary abilities.

After half a month of research, Odysseus finally made some progress. He found that the symbols, patterns, and logos that make up extraordinary abilities have a certain pattern in their arrangement order.

This shows that there is indeed hope of cracking the extraordinary ability, but the research process will definitely be very long.

This discovery was enough for Odysseus to report to the "Wildness of Knowledge" and leave the dream, and the rest of the research would be continued next Sunday.

Odysseus didn't plan to stay here for too long, so as not to confuse reality and dreams after leaving here.

After leaving the "wilderness of knowledge", he still needed to continue "meditation", concentrating his mind and reminding himself that he was now in the real world, and what he just saw was just a dream.

Odysseus glanced at his pocket watch in the dim night. It was a little after three in the morning, so he could still get some more sleep and rest.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, in order to reward himself for his discovery in research last night, Odysseus made a special detour to buy some red bean toast, which was one of the few foods he liked in this world.

He came to the store with the toast and when he opened the door, he felt someone's gaze on him again.

But he still didn't feel any danger, and Odysseus was not too worried about this. After all, he had the support of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, and ordinary extraordinary people would not dare to attack him.

Only if he feels danger will Odysseus go to the Steam Church and ask for help.

Monday was the day when Odysseus's subordinates "gave up their accounts" and the day when the herbal medicine shop's inventory and income were settled.

Odysseus spent the whole morning calculating and keeping account books. At 2:30 in the afternoon, he told his 15- or 16-year-old friend Kena that he wanted to take a rest and no one should disturb him.

Lying in the room in the backyard, Odysseus took out his pocket watch and stared at the ticking second hand. It was his first time attending a Tarot Club and he was actually a little excited.

At exactly three o'clock, the boundless gray fog engulfed Odysseus's vision. When he came to his senses, he was already in a magnificent hall, beside a long bronze table.

"Justice" Audrey Hall stood up and saluted: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!"

Then her greetings paused as she saw a new member.

Klein the Fool introduced, "This is our new member, Mr. Hermit."
