Chapter 170 - 0170: Magician (first update seeking subscription)
The darkness passed, morning arrives.
The wars and promotion happened in the mental realm had not aroused any outsider’s attention.
Su Lu pretending to sleep, reflected on the abilities he had just obtained.
“Mmm, [Odd Technician] , anciently known as [Scroll Master], as the name suggests, uses scrolls to battle… So I actually gained a skill of ‘Scroll Making’ , but it was covered by [Mystic Item Creation LVI]…”
The scrolls of [Odd Technician] are actually cards, not the traditional scroll style.
Su Lu agreed with this.
After all, times are evolving, in ancient times, a lot of parchment was used to make scrolls, plus the integration of mithril, gemstones, etc., the larger the surface area, the more horrifying the consumption.
Now switched to cards, the reduction in surface area alone has saved countless resources.
With his eyes closed, he recalled the manufacturing process of the magic cards.
“The main material is wormwood or other plants containing mysterious power, mixed with blue cohosh stems and thyme, through processes of soaking, washing, and compressing, create paper cards, to be used in conjunction with the Mind Magic!”
“Actually, the mental realm is the home field of the [Odd Technician], and mind magic is various means used in the mental realm…”
Now, Su Lu realized that his abilities are somewhat ‘advanced’.
With the help of the attribute panel, he had already done some of the things that [Odd Technicians] could do when he was a [Mystical Scholar].
But undoubtedly, after having this ability, his abilities in the spirit realm would become stronger.
For example… altering ordinary people’s memory without any traces, making him have an extra ‘friend’ or even ‘relative’, and he would find it as a matter of course, even if he uses subconscious hypnosis or transcendent means, it was hard for him to wake up.
Even, he can hypnotize some low-level transcendents!
“This is equivalent to greatly enhancing all the tricks in the mental realm before… But the strongest part of mind magic is to seal and release in conjunction with the magic cards!”
“I am now more certain, the Sealed Card, definitely came from the hands of the high-ranking professional of the [Odd Technician] pathway.”
The magic cards that [Odd Technician] can make are pale yellow in color, made of cardboard, and look completely different from the silver of Sealed Card. Also, it cannot seal powerful spiritual bodies like the Cursed Spirit.
What it can seal is transcendent power!
[Odd Technician] sneaks into the Mental Secret Realm, with the use of ‘magic cards’ and the use of ‘Mind Magic’, he can steal a transcendent ability of the target and seal it!
When it’s time to use it, he can unseal it and ‘release’ it!
Therefore, the abilities of an [Odd Technician], in essence, depends on how many transcendental powers he has ‘sealed’ , with unpredictable methods appearing successively, and can even masquerade as other professionals!
“Such a strong seal?”
Su Lu was somewhat doubtful but continued to read the transmitted knowledge, and he began to understand.
Because of the lack of initial ability, the abilities sealed by the Odd Technician cards are mostly disposable.
Also, they could not seal overly powerful abilities.
Of course, casting a sealing spell would definitely provoke hostility from the target, and failure is almost common sense.
“But… if this ability continues to advance, one day, could I completely strip away the abilities of the transcendents, turning them into ordinary people?” “And the stripped abilities can be made into permanent cards?”
Su Lu suddenly widened his eyes: “Such an ability, perhaps could only be achieved at the fourth level, or even the fifth or sixth.”
He flipped his hand, and a silver card appeared in his palm, with an Evil Spirit Knight on the front.
This is the guide and goal of high-ranking professionals!
“Huh?”
Just then, Su Lu suddenly felt the power on the Evil Spirit Knight card.
It was a vast and evil force field.
And he, seemingly had the ability to release it?
After all, by nature, the Seal Card is just an advanced version of a Trick Card.
As an [Odd Technician], of course, he could unseal it.
“Of course… once fully unsealed, the Evil Spirit Knight would get out, and I am afraid I could not control him… But, what if I only use a little bit of power?”
Through the Seal Card, Su Lu roughly understood the path after [Odd Technician].
Perhaps when he reaches a certain level, he can tame the Evil Spirit Knight, forming an alternative summoner?
“What a pity…”
Su Lu sighed, putting the Evil Spirit Knight card away.
[Odd Technician] is a profession that needs preparation, at this time besides his spirit and constitution being higher than before, there are not many changes in other respects.
But if he is fully prepared, he would even dare to challenge a fourth-level master professional!
“I don’t have Trick Cards, and I don’t have previously sealed transcendent abilities… I’m afraid as an [Odd Technician], this may be the weakest time for me? Fortunately, I have an Evil Spirit Knight card to rely on… But, I can’t stay here for too long, I must leave after finishing this job.”
Su Lu pursed his lips.
His original plan was simple, that is, to use the Demon Mansion and the Treasure Map to attract more greedy guys, thus harvesting a considerable amount of experience.
But now, the situation has somewhat exceeded his expectations.
Not only did more people come than he expected, but Beryl’s growth has surpassed his estimation, forcing him to level up early and his plan to harvest experience has been crippled by half.
And through the fight just now, their minds were connected, and the other party could probably sense his location.
In other words, if he doesn’t want to be chased and hit by the Black Death Follower, he can start running away in advance.
“But anyhow, I’ll first harvest this batch… The power of the Evil Spirit Knight card, even if only a little is invoked, should allow me to rampage among the third level in combination with the abilities of the [Odd Technician], right?”
Su Lu got up and ate breakfast next to the pot.
Because he saw Geli, he hardly spoke to avoid revealing anything.
Before he knew it, it was high noon and the sun was high in the sky.
For some negative professionals, this is their least favorite time of the day.
Of course… it’s just a dislike.
Even so, it was utilized by the Federation’s Eleventh Bureau and the church as the best time to attack the Demon Mansion.
“Those who don’t want to die, don’t enter the Silent Forest!”
The main force set off, followed by a group of wild transcendents like wolves.
The Eleventh Bureau’s warning was nothing to them.
In order to become a high-ranking person and gain honor and wealth, what they need is to fight now!
Su Lu watched coldly as the Eleventh Bureau and church members disappeared into the withered Black Forest, then several transcendent powers, and finally, it was the turn of the peripheral Ten-fist Association..
