Chapter 2989 Star Servant
The source of the will-o'-the-wisp is undoubtedly the black booklet, but the black booklet cannot be activated without external assistance.
It was actually Gleipnir who activated it.
When Angel and Laplace were both lost in their own thoughts, Gleipnir saw that no one paid attention to the black booklet on the ground, so he walked closer to take a closer look.
From the cover alone, Gleipnir really couldn't see anything.
The cover was pure black, and the text was gold-plated. In addition to the characters "Wishing Book", there were no other signs.
Gleipnir sensed it comprehensively, and used astrology to confirm that the booklet was not dangerous and there would be no problem turning the pages, so he reached out his cane and opened the wishing book.
Just as the wishing book was opened, a light blue will-o'-the-wisp sprang out.
And this is the process of the will-o'-the-wisp being activated.
At this time, both Angel and Laplace came back to their senses from their contemplation, and all their attention was on the wishing book.
To be precise, it was the first page of the wish book, which was also the page Gleipnir opened.
There were some words written on the first page, but Angel still didn't understand them. However, he recognized the illustration in the lower half of the first page.
Because the illustration showed a bunch of light blue will-o'-the-wisp...
The will-o'-the-wisp in the illustration was like a bunch of Kongming lanterns floating in the air, densely packed, and with the strange facial features on the will-o'-the-wisp, it was quite scary.
Angel focused on this illustration, not only because it depicted the will-o'-the-wisp, but also for another very important reason.
This illustration was colored. In the dark and blue night sky, the red, green, and blue will-o'-the-wisp looked very eye-catching.
But what was more eye-catching was a pure white will-o'-the-wisp.
This white will-o'-the-wisp was not specially drawn, but more like a line-drawing will-o'-the-wisp, but it hadn't been filled with color yet.
Ingres could vaguely feel that this will-o'-the-wisp in white ink had a connection with the light blue will-o'-the-wisp in the air... It seemed that the light blue will-o'-the-wisp in the white ink was originally filled with the light blue will-o'-the-wisp.
Could it be that the will-o'-the-wisp was actually hidden in the painting? When the will-o'-the-wisp came out, the painting of the will-o'-the-wisp would become a white ink painting?
While Ingres was still guessing, Laplace's voice came from the side: "Sure enough."
Ingres looked at Laplace with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Laplace didn't say anything, but came to the light blue will-o'-the-wisp and flicked it lightly with his finger.
The will-o'-the-wisp seemed to have been hit hard and collapsed directly from the air. The ghost face became even more terrifying... But no matter how terrifying it was, it couldn't escape the fate of disintegration.
As the light blue will-o'-the-wisp dissipated, a strange energy dissipated from the will-o'-the-wisp, and finally fell back on the illustration on the first page of the wishing book.
The will-o'-the-wisp returned, and the white ink will-o'-the-wisp was smudged with light blue again.
The illustration was complete, and there was no blank space.
Seeing this scene, Angel finally confirmed that his guess was correct. This will-o'-the-wisp came from the illustration.
As for the strange energy just now, Angel was not unfamiliar with it. He had sensed similar energy inside the gem teapot. There was no doubt that it was telekinesis.
"So, this is the will-o'-the-wisp summoned from the illustration through telekinesis? Could it be that this booklet is something similar to the magic pattern leather scroll?" Angel asked in a low voice.
Laplace shook his head: "No, it is fundamentally different. I actually mentioned this thing before."
Did Laplace mention it before? Angel looked at Laplace in confusion, but saw that her expression was a little subtle... When they found the booklet before, Angel noticed that Laplace had shown a similar expression, subtle and strange.
Angel pondered for a moment, and suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Could this thing be... the wonderful thing you mentioned before?"
Laplace nodded gently.
"Yes, this is a wonderful thing."
Angel was also stunned for a moment. He still remembered that when Laplace first mentioned the telekinetic world, he mentioned the wonderful things at the first time, because in Laplace's opinion, the most interesting thing in the telekinetic world is the wonderful things.
Angel thought that the gem teapot was a wonderful thing before, but it turned out not to be. Unexpectedly, after a while of twists and turns, a real wonderful thing appeared in front of them.
"Wonderful things are concrete abilities, so this booklet is a telepath, and it is concrete?" Angel asked doubtfully.
Laplace nodded: "Yes, the first page contains the general information of the telepathist and the rules he set for this wishing book."
Laplace did not hide it, and explained the information on the first page character by character.
This telepathist did not record his real name on the wonderful thing, but only called himself a star servant, the most loyal servant of the great 'Wishing Star'.
The next step was a pious prayer to the 'Wishing Star', hoping that the Wishing Star could give this wishing book unlimited potential.
Next, the Star Servant sets the rules for the wish book.
The so-called rule setting is the balance and restriction of the concrete mind master on the wonderful things.
They will give special abilities to the wonderful things, but it is impossible to directly give special abilities, and corresponding release conditions must be set.
The simpler the ability and the more stringent the conditions, the higher the success rate when creating wonderful things.
But the more stringent, it also means that the difficulty of using the wonderful things is higher; the simpler the ability, the weaker the power of the wonderful things.
So, this is a test of the mind master's choice.
Of course, in addition to choice, talent is also important. The more talented the mind master is, the more things he can "take" and the less things he has to "give up" when making wonderful things.
In addition, the higher the level of the mind master, the more bonuses he will get in the embodiment of wonderful things.
Generally speaking, each star can embody one wonderful thing, including 0 stars. That is to say, a three-star concrete mind master can embody four wonderful things.
More than that, it will be difficult to control.
In addition, there are some hidden rules, for example: the higher the star, the more powerful the constructed wonderful things, but generally speaking, the coordination degree is definitely not as high as the coordination degree of the wonderful things constructed with low stars; there are many categories of wonderful things, the more idealistic, the more difficult to construct, but the more idealistic, the stronger; except for idealistic wonderful things, the construction rules of other entity-type wonderful things will inevitably be hidden in the wonderful things, which is also for the construction rules to be written on the first page of the wish book... and so on.
From this, we can see that in the world of telekinesis, the concrete class is a very complete system. It requires both the coordination of objective laws and the restraint of conditions set by subjective initiative.
The power of checks and balances is the essence of wonderful things.
And this wish book also has a relative power of checks and balances, that is, rules.
"Wishing Book: Make wishes by writing to gain different abilities."
"Main rules: 1. You can only make one wish per page. 2. Each time you make a wish, you must describe the complete ability, the more detailed the better. 3. You can only use one ability at a time, and you need to turn to the corresponding page when using an ability. 4. The more complex the ability, the more release rules need to be formulated on the page. 5. Abilities that require separate rules can only be used by the Star Servant himself."
"Page 1, Trick the Will-O'-the-Wisp: Release a will-o'-the-wisp that can only be used to scare people, with weaker burning ability. There is no upper limit on use, and you can use it with telekinesis. (This page does not require separate rules, just follow the main rules.)"
"Page 2, Sorry Piranha Plant: Release a Piranha Plant to attack. Up to ten Piranha Plants can be summoned per day. (Limited rules: 1. Before each attack, Say sorry. 2. You can only summon 2 Piranhas at a time. If one Piranha says sorry, the other one doesn't have to say it. )"
"Page 3, Holy Water of Forgiveness: Make a bottle of holy water to help you enter a state of tranquility. You can make up to 3 bottles a day. (Limited rules: You must be forgiven or forgiven by others to get the right to make holy water)"
"Page 4, Ominous Ground Spike: Release a powerful ground spike. There is no upper limit on use, and you can use it as long as you have telekinesis. (Limited rules: There is a 10%-80% chance of creating a small ground spike under you. The more powerful the ground spike is, the higher the chance of the small ground spike appearing.)"
"Page 5, Ten-minute Alchemy..."
"Page 6, Wall-Walking Technique that You Can't Go Back to..."
"..."
As Laplace turned the pages one by one, various abilities were displayed in front of everyone through the pages of the book. However, there were some very strange restrictions on the use of these abilities.
The stronger the ability, the greater the restriction.
But they didn't know to what extent the restrictions were. After all, all the abilities in this wishing book need to be activated by telekinesis.
Originally, there was still a lot of telekinesis left in the wishing book, but it was almost washed away by waves. The remaining trace of telekinesis also disappeared because the first page was opened and the will-o'-the-wishes were summoned.
Other energies cannot activate the wishing book, and those abilities with separate rules can only be used by the Star Servant. Therefore, they can only look at the various abilities in the wishing book, but cannot use them.
However, they didn't care too much about not being able to use them. After all, the abilities in this wishing book look wonderful, but overall... the effects are not very good.
...
"Although the abilities in the wishing book don't look very good, the potential of this wishing book is not bad." Laplace commented lightly, and then turned to the first page of the wishing book again.
Her eyes looked at the word that the Star Servant wrote the most on the first page: 'Wishing Star'.
"What's wrong?" Gleipnir noticed Laplace's fixed gaze.
After Laplace pondered for a moment, he whispered, "I seem to have heard of the wishing star somewhere."
Angel also looked over at this time: "Many civilizations have similar sayings. Including the wizard world, there are legends of the wishing star. The wishing star you have heard of may not be the wishing star in the telekinesis world."
Laplace thought for a while: "The wishing star in my impression does not seem to be a living being..."
Gleipnir: "If it is not a living being, then Angel should be right."
Star Servant claims to be a servant of the great 'Wishing Star'. From this sentence, it can be seen that the 'Wishing Star' is obviously a living being, not a conceptual wishing star.
As for what kind of living being? It is very likely to be the code name of a big figure in the telekinesis world, or simply the name of a certain evil god.
The reason why it is called an "evil god" is that there is no belief in the right gods in the world of Hante, and people there believe in telekinesis more. If there is a belief in a certain god, it is either pretending to be a god, or it is an imported god, or it may even be a powerful wizard who is causing trouble.
Anyway, if ‘Wishing Star’ is the name of a god, then it is an outright evil god.
However, Angel still prefers that ‘Wishing Star’ is a high-level mind master.
People in the Hante world have different naming rules, which all depend on the different cultural heritage of each place. But no matter what the Hante people's real name is, once they become a mind master, they must have a code name. This is a code name given to facilitate communication and memory by national chanting teacher associations.
Just like "Granny Deer", "Flying Crow Man"...etc., they are code names, not real names.
The codenames are all kinds of weird, with regional and cultural characteristics, and it is possible that a "wishing star" will appear.
Generally speaking, the code name of a strong person will actually point to his own ability. If "Wishing Star" is used as the code name, maybe the ability of this mind master is... wishing?
"What the wishing star refers to is currently uncertain, but this "Star Attendant" can see some clues from this wishing book." Greipnir said softly.
As Laplace said, the potential of this "wishing book" is high.
Although the ability currently recorded is not very good, it can be determined from the main rules that the upper limit of this ability is extremely high. Of course, the higher the ability you get, the more restrictions you have, but this is very common in wonderful things, so it doesn’t matter; the wishing book can unlock more powerful abilities from low to high, which is the key and it is The reason for the high potential.
Being able to create something wonderful with such potential shows that the potential of Star Attendant itself is definitely not low.
However, potential is potential, and failing to realize it is another matter.
This wishing book currently only contains fifteen pages, and has not yet unlocked powerful abilities. This also means that the Star Attendant is not strong enough and must not be a high-level Star Mind Master.
Let’s take a look at the ability on the first page of this wishing book: deceiving the will-o’-the-wisp.
This ability is almost useless. The harmless will-o'-the-wisp can only deceive the audience in the circus. Even the slightly aspiring mind master will not record this kind of crotch-stretching ability.
Judging from this ability, it can be determined that this wonderful thing should be the first wonderful thing of Star Attendant.
It is a work of enlightenment.
Combined with other abilities such as alchemy, wall penetration, etc., as well as various known information, it can be basically inferred that the Star Server is not rich, weak in strength, has some cleverness, and does not have a strong background. Compared with the front Combat prefers side bluffing. The only thing that can be said is that he is a potential telepathy master, and his strength should be a one-star telepathy master.
And the most important thing is: this Star Waiter...should be the boy in the pot they discovered before.
The previous inferences were profiling, but the last conclusion was discovered by Gleipnir through astrology.
According to Gleipnir, the telepathic aura remaining on this wishing book is completely consistent with the telepathic information remaining in the body of the boy in the pot.
There is a high probability that the boy in the pot is the Star Attendant.
Of course, no clear answer can be given yet. After all, astrology is only a vague certainty and cannot be used as evidence.
However, it is not difficult to come up with a conclusion.
There is this article in the main rule of the wishing book: "Abilities that require separate rules can only be used by the Star Attendant himself."
Whether the boy in the pot is the Star Attendant or not, you will find out if you let him use this wishing book in the future. If he can use the abilities from the second page onwards, he will undoubtedly be Star Attendant!
