Chapter 61 End of Volume Summary and Comments on the Release

First, the summary at the end:

After more than 100,000 words, the protagonist Watson finally got the Secret of the Blade. In fact, that chapter should have ended the first volume: Chasing the Taboo. However, the author was so drunk in those days that he forgot how to open it. Let’s just save the new volumes until they are put on the shelves.

Watson has now gathered together the initial three major secret transmissions, which are actually barely consistent with the three major paths of the game itself - Enlightenment (you yearn for knowledge, I seek light), Strength (Blade and Forge are both considered Direct combat power in The Legend of the Nine Secrets), Senses (Cup)

If this were in fantasy, it would be almost equivalent to the protagonist finally gathering his natal skills or supernatural powers. That is to say, the author was too busy with his work some time ago and there were too few updates, otherwise Watson would have to wait a few chapters later.

After all, based on the veterans laid out at the beginning of the first chapter and the murderous nature settings added later, the old leader can tell at a glance that Watson is a natural blade man, and if he were in the Warhammer world, he would almost be the Chosen of Khorne.

The author deliberately did not let Watson come into contact with the Blade Secrets from the beginning, so as to prevent the protagonist's strength from starting to improve rapidly in the first few dozen chapters... and setting a veteran status at the beginning, most of the old leaders will definitely think that the protagonist will join the Blade Secrets first. the way.

But, but!

You can never and should never trust a Mothman author!

For example, in the pure white ward where Watson was admitted, the old leader would definitely think of the colorless way in the woods at first sight, and then he would wonder where the protagonist had come into contact with the secret message of the light? But then Watson chose to take the intuitive path... Haha, this can be regarded as a little bit of bad taste from the author of Mothman. For readers who have never been exposed to games, they will definitely not pay attention to the details in the novel that imply the deception of the old leader. It will only be regarded as a meaningless water number by the author.

But in fact, there were some points along the way, and the author also considered letting Watson obtain the secret transmission in advance. For example, on the night when he interrogated Little Victor, the cunning boy pretended to be obedient, but in fact he secretly had a hidden secret. The secret of the blade is intended to be left to his dearest sister Rose... The secret of the knife found in Watson's body after he shot her directly (this part will definitely not be written out and told to you) will not be told to you until the follow-up. William's decisive battle will be written down to tell you that Watson has actually mastered the secret transmission of the first-order blade and practiced it to perfection, so that he can fight William decisively...

But then I thought about it. William already has 7 blades. Even if you, Watson, have mastered [The Secret of Knives], you can only have 3 blades at most, and everyone knows how to use a gun. Why can you fight with William?

Then the intracranial council of the sect decided that Watson's motion to kill William was rejected!

The next question in the second volume is - how to make Watson go crazy rationally? !

Next is the official launch speech:

This book will be on the shelves at the setting sun tomorrow (i.e. 12 noon). It is better to follow the rules of the world and write a testimonial for the release (also known as a brief thought about the release).

(However, uploading the VIP chapter at the moment of the setting sun, the god of poignant endings... seems a little unlucky from the perspective of the esoteric sect, so the author should upload the VIP chapter at 13 o'clock, the god of the double-horned axe, Yinshi Yunxing, ah My damn stupid superstition!)

Although this is not the first time the author has written online articles. He has also written a 100,000-word fanfic about an extremely unpopular ancient comic theme. It is probably a doraemon mixed with a three-eyed child and a devil... because it has too dark history. I won’t go into details, since I can’t find it online anyway.

So this is indeed the first time that the author has written a testimonial for being published, and I am actually very excited! ! ! The passion that was damaged due to work strain was almost revived... just a few hundred million points away!

But to be honest, the author still knows his own writing level very well, which is probably equivalent to the level of primary school Pinyin that has not yet graduated.

Although this book is covered in the guise of a secret sect and a collection of Sherlock Holmes detectives, it is limited by the author's writing skills, the reasoning and investigation process is almost non-existent, and the mysterious atmosphere is sometimes absent. On the contrary, it is more inclined to the traditional monster-killing and upgrading text... Of course, the author also prefers to write about fighting.

"I, Watson, want to single-handedly destroy the whole fucking world!!!"

Hahaha, just kidding. In fact, the Hong Kong comics that the author read in pirated bookstores when he was a child were actually like Fengyun and Little Devil. When he was a child, he just thought that the Hong Kong comics with muscular men looked much more enjoyable than those from the childhood next door. In recent years, online I haven’t actually read the popular Hong Kong manga Strong Man and Mad Man.

Besides, the power system of this book will not be developed to the extent that the esoteric practitioner can burn mountains and seas with one blow...unless the author fails to write it.

Closer to home, the fact that this book is actually on the shelves is entirely thanks to the Esoteric Cult Simulator - thanks to the earliest translation team of Project Gutenberg. It is their superb translation skills that make the game's text glow with a secret atmosphere with a unique oriental charm. charm.

I would also like to express my gratitude to the friends who have endured all the hard work of reading this book since its infancy and patiently left suggestions.

And those book friends who leave useful comments and leave in a hurry.

It's a pity that work has been so busy in the past two weeks, and the recent chapters can obviously be written better. After all, the author is a novice part-timer, and his plot control and coding skills are very limited. He can barely write a thousand words in an hour...

Okay, no more talking nonsense, let’s get started with the coding.

The people in the church will try their best to show the new and old leaders a different world at noon.

PS: Finally, I will add a small spoiler that is not a spoiler, although some old leaders may have already guessed it.

In fact, the secret of moth that Watson possesses is not an ordinary secret of the game itself. Just like the Colonel/Lionsmith secret in the Exile DLC, it is a special secret taught by Si Chen.

However, since [Si Chen: Moth] only has the field of moth, Watson will not have multiple intertwined properties like the Exile, but will have a certain qualitative improvement...

Regarding the difference between Si Chen's secret and ordinary secrets, readers who have not played the game can directly substitute it into the difference between the common breathing method and the secret method of the big sect in fantasy novels. Although both can be upgraded to ascension, the power and special effects of Si Chen's secret are stronger at the same level.

As for why moths only favor Watson, Elson (the first enlightenment monster in this book), who also has the experience of fraud and murder in the woods, failed to receive the gift of moths... That's a later story.
