Chapter 10 Guessing(1/2)
Since the other party has something to ask for, how can you not make good use of it!
Of course, you have to grasp the standards well, the other party is organized after all!
Martin smiled and gestured, "Mr. Dewick, I need your help now."
"Don't worry, it's just a small problem and won't delay your time."
Devik shook his brows, then sat down silently, took out his pipe, and sucked the clouds and mist.
"I want to know some common sense about the extraordinary."
Martin asked with a correct attitude and looked like a seeker.
After hearing this, Devik couldn't help but look at Martin again and asked in surprise: "Have you advanced to extraordinary?"
Martin nodded, not denying it.
"To be honest, when I first saw you today, I didn't realize that you were an extraordinary person. If I was right, there should be something on you that can cover your breath, right?"
Devik said with a squinted eyes.
Martin subconsciously thought of the pendant on his chest.
That was the only relic left to him by the original owner's parents. In addition to the function of hiding the breath, it was also the identity of the Oric family.
Seeing Martin's expression, Dewick spit out another thick smoke ring and said:
"That's pretty good. Being your tutor honestly is very safe. If you still want to be a ritual home, it's better to have a public identity. The preparation time for that ritual is still long. I don't want to see you next time in the form of a corpse."
Martin heard a black thread.
Devik seemed to be quite excited, took a hard breath of his pipe again, and started talking to himself.
"For the extraordinary, the most important thing is bondage. Bondage is also the most core secret of the extraordinary. Even if you are closest to the person you are closest, you must keep your mouth shut and ensure that everything is foolproof."
"Many times, you can judge the type of power that an extraordinary person has from his appearance and words and deeds."
"For example, the extraordinary people in the craftsman sequence usually carry a lot of strange tools; the extraordinary people in the craftsman sequence have a strong physique that is different from ordinary people...
"Of course, this is not absolute. For example, I can't tell what sequence you belong to."
Dewick glanced at Martin.
His eyes suddenly became sharp and then returned to normal.
Martin felt a creepy feeling, and felt that his eyes just now seemed to pierce his body and penetrate into his soul.
But this was just a feeling, and he did not react in any particular way.
Devik didn't seem to force himself to find the answer immediately on Martin, and vomited two smoke rings without caring.
Dewick finally stopped a warning similar to popular science, and Martin finally couldn't help asking: "How many extraordinary sequences are there in total?"
“Twenty-eight kinds!”
Devik blurted out without thinking, his tone was very confident.
"The Lanpei Empire once counted more than 40 types of sequence 9, but only twenty-eight sequences are complete, and only twenty-eight can be used."
"As for the reason... I'm really sorry, it's not what you should know now."
Martin's mind changed drastically.
This question seems to involve deep mystery.
Twenty-eight...
Why this number?
Although he was still curious, reason finally defeated this curiosity and did not continue to ask this question.
Martin changed his question directly: "If you violate the constraints, you will lose control. I know this. But why is this happening?"
Devik seemed to have had an answer to this question, describing Martin: "If the human body is a bottle, extraordinary power is the water in the bottle, and bondage is the bottle jam. Without bondage, water will easily be poured out."
"Even if the water is poured out, it will not harm the bottle, but the extraordinary power is not like this! The extraordinary power in the out-of-control state will become extremely unfamiliar and uncontrollable."
"Simply put, it's like water suddenly turns into hot steam or cold ice, and it's easy to make the bottle explode."
Martin nodded.
Dewick's metaphor is very vivid and easy to understand...
But, it always doesn't feel like something he can say.
Then he asked some basic questions, and Devik answered them one by one.
This made Martin feel a little more cautious.
At least, as of now, Dwick does not have any malice towards him.
Moreover, he also counted on helping with the ceremony.
He even worried about his own safety in disguise.
This undoubtedly proves that the ceremony was really important to him.
...
Half an hour later, Devik left silently.
Martin held the ring and sat at the desk frowned and thought.
The longer the ceremony is prepared, the more complicated and important the ceremony is.
I hope I have already had certain strength by that time.
At least, if there is any problem with the ceremony, you can choose to refuse it and not take a silly risky attempt...
When his thoughts returned to his eyes, Martin carefully savored what Devick said just now, and felt that he had gained a lot.
When he remembered it was time to cook, it was already past one o'clock noon.
After lunch, Martin came to the library of the Earl's house as usual.
While digging out mystical knowledge alone in books and literature, Martin missed Dwick a little.
Although his attitude is not very good and he is not a patient teacher, on the road to extraordinary, it is too great to have a leader!
Especially for a newcomer like him, a good teacher is really undesirable.
In the evening, when he returned to Golden Orchid Street, he saw the mailbox and found another newspaper lying inside.
Martin took out the newspaper and unfolded it, or Faraline Weekly.
Thanks to the active craftsman sequence, although the natural sciences in this world are still in a relatively backward state, many novel inventions have emerged and have been first applied to civilian use, making life very convenient.
Printing is one of them.
This greatly reduces the cost of newspapers and makes information transmission convenient and fast.
It is said that in Korita, the capital of Gaver, steam locomotives have already taken shape, and there are even proposals to establish railway transportation.
It may not take long before the railway will be laid in a commercially developed city like Faralinburg.
While thinking about the matter, Martin unfolded the newspaper and turned it to the first page.
Similar to most local newspapers, there are not many parts of the Faralin Weekly that talk about current affairs.
Today's newspapers are quite honest, at least they will not put gossip news such as aristocratic affair and wife's cheating on the newspaper to attract attention and increase sales.
Those who can be published in newspapers are often real big events.
At least for the city of Faralinburg, that's true.
The remaining two-thirds of the pages are used to register various information, which are actually an important source of income for newspapers.
The dry season has just begun, and the most common thing now is fleet recruitment.
During this period, some house rentals were also mixed in, and the obituary information was included.
These things have to be paid according to the location and size of the layout.
Although the price is not high, the advantage lies in stability.
Martin read the current affairs of the newspaper last week and found that he was telling two murders.
The use of this article is quite large and seems not to be very simple.
Read carefully, it turns out to be so!
The murderer used extremely cruel methods to expose the family of three. Within a week, two middle-level families were killed.
The corpse lost all its internal organs, but the wounds were very neat.
The scene described in the report was very bloody, allowing Martin to imagine the murder scene just based on his words.
Of course, this may also be a helpless move caused by the lack of a camera, forcing writers to work hard on the text and make sure that readers can be immersive.
However, according to the current booming development trajectory of the craftsman sequence, I believe that as long as someone proposes it, something similar will soon appear.
[The Faralin Guard is pursuing the murderer, but no clue is found. Now I am posting a reward, hoping that the general public can provide it with it if they discover it...]
Martin glanced at several other reports, all about climate change and the waterway to the Southern Continent is about to recover.
To be continued...
