Chapter 3448 Secrets in the Book

Chapter 3447 Secrets in the Book

"The Art of Blackness" really concerned Angel, but what he cared about was only the "historical facts" of the Death Party that might be recorded in the book.

These contents were only of interest to Angel, but not to the point where he definitely needed to know.

It is even more incomparable to the solid knowledge recorded in the "Book of Starry Sky".

Therefore, he took a vaccination in advance.

Laplace also heard the implication of Angel's words. He nodded lightly and stopped talking about "replacement". Instead, he asked curiously: "You are interested in "The Art of Blackness". It should not be for its purpose." The art of recording, right?”

Although Laplace had only seen a few works refined by Angel, Laplace also saw the extraordinary artistry in these few works.

At least, the artistry is much higher than the various alchemy tools sold at the Tooth Fairy Ancient Market.

It can be seen from this that Angel's aesthetic appreciation of alchemy is online, and he has his own unique vision and refining style.

Would Angel like this really buy related art creation books for another kind of "black art"? Laplace didn't quite believe it.

Sure enough, when faced with Laplace's inquiry, Ingres nodded without hesitation: "Art shaping is not what interests me."

"What interests me most is the alchemical school behind this book."

Laplace raised an eyebrow: "Alchemy school?"

She looked at the crystal screen. The introduction to "The Art of Darkness" on the screen only mentioned the "Ancient Alchemy School", but did not explain in detail what school it was.

Laplace: "Do you know what alchemy school this is?"

Angel nodded: "The author of this book, Odorus, is quite famous in the ancient alchemy world, and the sect he belongs to is called...the Death Sect."

"Death faction?" Laplace repeated, feeling that this name had a bit of an ominous meaning. Especially, when "death" and "alchemy" are fused together, this sense of ominousness seems to jump out of the page.

Why is it called this name?

After pondering for a while, Laplace couldn't help but ask: "How is death connected with alchemy? Or is death just a name and has nothing to do with the alchemy school?"

Angel: "It does matter."

"The concept of death is death and rebirth. The so-called 'death' is to let all materials die, or in other words, enter a state of withering."

"When matter dies completely, it will transform into a new form. This form is called the Four Elements by death-sect alchemists."

"Then, matter can be reshaped through the tetraplast, and this matter will have a new form and even new properties. This is the so-called 'rebirth'."

Angel explained the alchemical philosophy of the Death Sect in a thorough and simple manner.

Laplace didn't understand it at first, but it wasn't until Angel gave an example that she suddenly understood.

Assume that there is a cold material, which is slowly "killed" by the death alchemist, and finally dies completely and turns into the "four originals" of the origin of matter. And this "Four Primarchs" was used by the death sect alchemists using special techniques to ignite the hope of rebirth. Finally, it was reborn into a hot material.

Cold materials become tetraplasts after death, and tetraplasts become hot materials after rebirth.

There will be no other substances mixed in during the process, but one substance will completely change its properties.

From cold to hot.

The nature and essence of matter have changed, which is impossible in the eyes of any transcendent being.

But unfortunately, the alchemists of the death sect can do it.

And this is the alchemical concept of the Death Sect.

Even Laplace, who had lived for ten thousand years and had seen all kinds of strong winds and heavy rains, felt incredible when he heard about this wonderful "four-principal transformation".

Is this an idea that really exists in the world? Are you sure this is alchemy, not creation?

Angel: "Although I have not seen the real Four Primarchs so far, according to the information I know, the alchemy of the Death Sect does exist. And..."

When Angel said this, he suddenly paused and looked slightly hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

Finally, Angel thought for a moment and finally said, "Furthermore, based on my limited knowledge, I think the Death Sect's alchemy is reasonable from my point of view."

Laplace frowned and said, "...reasonable?" Are you sure this is reasonable?

Angel did not notice Laplace's expression, but lowered his eyebrows and said to himself: "In my opinion, all wizards basically follow an unspoken rule, which is called - etc. price exchange principle.”

"This principle of equivalent exchange can actually be applied to the death sect's alchemy. Cold substances of equal quality and quantity can be transformed into equal hot substances. Isn't this a special principle of equivalent exchange?"

"However, under normal circumstances, there is no way to achieve this principle of equivalent exchange. The death faction took a trick and used a common tetraprimum as a conversion medium, allowing the two to achieve an agreement under the influence of the medium. Equivalent exchange.”

"This is the alchemical essence of the Death Sect as I understand it."

However, Angel also knew that what he understood was very superficial and superficial. The alchemical essence of the Death Sect must still have secrets; otherwise, their concept would not use "Death and Rebirth" as its theme, but Just use "equivalent exchange" directly.

So Angel is very sure that his understanding must be biased. The reason why I told the content that I knew was biased was mainly because I wanted to use a shallower understanding to explain the truth to Laplace.

Although Angel felt that... his explanation might be more biased.

Thinking of this, Angel quickly added his thoughts to Laplace, lest Laplace really believed it.

Laplace pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know whether your explanation is correct, but looking at this matter from the perspective of equivalent exchange is indeed a novel perspective. Moreover, this perspective seems to really have A little bit of truth.”

Laplace shrugged: "Forget it, I don't know how to alchemy myself. If I force myself to think about it, I will fall into a deadlock in my thinking. As long as you know the general philosophy of the Death Sect, that's all."

"Whether it makes sense or not, it doesn't matter to me."

Seeing that Laplace gave up asking questions about ideas, Angel also breathed a sigh of relief.

Laplace now understands that Angel is interested in "The Art of Blackness" purely because it is a work by the Death Party?

Considering the outrageous core concept of the Death Sect, it is normal for Angel, as an alchemist, to be interested in it.

Laplace pointed to the last row of words in the introduction to "The Art of Blackness": "Then do you think there are really secrets in "The Art of Blackness"?"

Angel also followed Laplace's fingers and looked at the crystal screen.

——"It is said that there are secrets hidden in "The Art of Blackness"."

Angel stared for a moment and then said: "I can't answer whether there is a secret. But in my opinion, unless there is clear evidence that there is a secret... Just like "Journey to the Umbrella", there are witnesses There is also a history.”

"Otherwise, it would be hard for me to believe there would be secrets in the book."

Because "The Art of Blackness" is just a book, even if it does have a secret, and the secret is very deep, there is always a way to discover it as long as it is placed in front of you.

For example, prophecy.

"Black Art" is not a mysterious thing. Through prophecy, you can completely find the irrationality.

As for whether "Black Art" will have measures to prevent prophecies? This actually doesn't matter, because if it really has measures to prevent prophecies, doesn't it prove that "The Art of Darkness" must have some secrets?

The introduction on the crystal screen does not clearly state the measures to prevent prophecy, which means there are none.

Angel told Laplace his thoughts.

After hearing this, Laplace suddenly said: "The people of the Jingmu tribe are not stupid. Moreover, this book first appeared in the Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins. Those ancient tooth fairies claimed to be scholars, and they were not fools. Can you They can actually think of it.”

"Now that they have thought about it, they still noted in the introduction that "The Art of Blackness" seems to contain secrets. Does that mean that in their opinion, there are really some unreasonable things in this book? ?”

Angel was stunned. He had never thought of this level before.

He fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said: "I can't judge."

Laplace: "Since we can't judge, let's just ask."

Having said this, Laplace paused the communication with the psychic belt, and instead looked up at Jota, who was not far away.

When Yota saw this, he immediately understood and came over quickly: "You two, are you planning to exchange for the third treasure?"

Laplace: "That's what I mean, but before changing, I want to ask you a question."

Jotta nodded respectfully: "Excuse me, sir."

Laplace pointed to the last sentence of the introduction to "The Art of Blackness" and asked: "If there is a secret in a book, there are many ways to find it."

"But judging from your annotations, it seems that you haven't found the secret of "The Art of Blackness"?"

Jotta nodded subconsciously: "Yes."

Laplace: "Since you didn't find the secret, why did you add this sentence directly? You added this sentence, does that mean that you actually discovered that there is something wrong with this book?"

Jota recalled for a moment and said: "This... I don't know either."

Laplace looked at Jotta with indifferent eyes: "You don't know? Or are you unwilling to say it?"

Jotta waved his hand quickly: "I really don't know. I have read the original version of "The Art of Blackness", but I didn't find any secrets in it..."

Angel: "Then why did you add this sentence?"

Jota: "This was not added by me, but by the giant city spirit."

Giant city spirit? Laplace and Angel looked at each other.

Angel's voice came from the psychic belt: "He is telling the truth."

Through super-perception, Angel can roughly judge that Jota's words are sincere. Maybe he really didn't notice anything unusual. It was the Giant City Spirit who really noticed something was wrong.

Angel thought for a while and said to Jota: "Can you help us ask the giant city spirit why it added this sentence?"

Jota hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, please wait a moment."

Jota walked to one side and drew a six-pointed star pattern on the ground with his scepter. Then his whole body was surrounded by the light of the six-pointed star, and Jota's eyes gradually closed.

About three to five minutes later, Jota opened his eyes and walked out of the six-pointed star formation.

"I just asked the giant city spirit, and it said that there is indeed something wrong in this book." Jotta stepped forward and said quickly.

"Is there really a secret?!" Angel was stunned.

Yota was more conservative this time: "Whether it is secret or not, the Giant City Spirit doesn't know."

Because this does not involve the main content of "The Art of Black", Yota did not hide it and told the information he got from the Giant City Spirit in detail.

According to the Giant City Spirit, it was actually the people of the Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins who discovered that "The Art of Black" was secret.

They found that there were a lot of blank spaces inside the book. It looked like there were hidden words.

This made them feel very strange, so they used some divination methods to see if there were really hidden words...

The results of the divination were very vague...It seemed that there were indeed hidden words.

But how to activate and open these hidden words, the divination did not get a specific result.

The scholars of the Mirror Sea did a lot of experiments, which took many years, but there was no way to make the hidden words appear, and finally they had to give up...

Later, this book was photographed by a member of the Crystal Eye tribe, and he studied it for a while, but still got nothing. After the death of that member, he handed "The Art of Black" to the Giant City Spirit.

After the Giant City Spirit studied it, he put the book in the Treasures Museum.

After listening to Yota's introduction, Angel's eyes flashed with trance.

He said to Laplace in the mind band: "Sure enough, you are right."

There are many smart people, and he is not the only one who thinks of using prophecy.

Moreover, others have really used divination and have really divined something. However, even if they know there are hidden words, they can only watch without activation methods.

Angel: "But then again, knowing that there are hidden words, the people of the Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins dare to auction it, which surprised me."

"If these hidden words are very valuable, wouldn't it be a loss to sell them at a low price?"

Hearing Angel's message, Laplace said lightly: "Generally speaking, this kind of hidden words hidden in the blank space of the book are basically interpretations of the things recorded in the text."

"You can understand it as... experience or notes after reading."

It's like a notebook that records magic. The main text is the concept and control method of the magic, and the blank space may be some practice experience and practice skills left by the author of the notebook.

It is precisely because the hidden texts left blank are mostly explanations of the existing knowledge in the book; in addition, they really can't figure out how to open the hidden texts.

Therefore, Yaxian Ancient Ruins is willing to sell it.

It is not only selling "The Art of Black", but also selling the premium of unknown hidden texts.
