In the information Odis gave everyone, he explained in detail what extraordinary properties are, and mentioned some knowledge about the law of conservation of extraordinary properties and the law of aggregation of extraordinary properties.
This immediately made Hugh feel that his money was well spent; this was clearly high-level intelligence, which could be bought for just over twenty pounds here.
What she didn't know was that her good friend Fors had just learned this information at a tarot reading and was currently racking her brains trying to figure out how to tell her naturally.
In the living room, the members who had received the intelligence fell silent for a moment, because they immediately realized one thing: the Extraordinary were walking gold bars.
According to the intelligence provided by the "leader," extraordinary traits are expensive and can even replace the main ingredients of potions. Therefore, even if two extraordinary individuals have no hatred between them, as long as one of them sets his sights on the other's extraordinary trait, they may very well engage in a life-or-death struggle.
Immediately afterwards, they became wary of the people around them, but then they thought that the gathering was relatively reliable, so they felt a little more at ease.
They soon began to suspect several extraordinary individuals they had interacted with, but then they breathed a sigh of relief, because only a limited number of people knew this knowledge.
By acquiring this knowledge first, they gained a significant advantage.
While this transaction was underway, other intelligence exchanges were also taking place.
One piece of intelligence caught Odis's attention: Blair, a wealthy merchant in Backlund, had posted a very high-paying job: to travel around Backlund in a carriage provided by him on a full moon night.
It is said that this wealthy businessman had a sudden urge to conduct an experiment to see if there was a higher chance of encountering ghosts during a full moon.
This task can only be accepted by extraordinary individuals, which disappointed many members, who had originally hoped to earn the money.
This looks like a wealthy businessman squandering his money on some ridiculous things.
However, Odis, who had extensive intelligence work experience, immediately realized that something was unusual about this matter and further speculated that it might be related to the "Rose School".
First of all, the specific condition of "full moon" immediately brings to mind "werewolf" and "vampire".
But Odis then thought that Sharon and Klein had just clashed with the "indulgence" faction of the "Rose School," and that Sharon and Maritch would surely be in hiding recently, and that clues about them might only be found during the full moon.
After all, there is only one "Crimson Corona," which is used by either Sharon or Marich. During the full moon, one of them will be very weak, which may cause some strange phenomena to occur around where they are hiding.
Odis did not show any interest in the matter, but he had already decided in his heart that he would go directly to the Backlund Mechanical Research Society later to tell Max about this information and his conjecture.
After another half hour of trading, everyone had exchanged and traded information.
During the final stages of the gathering, "Giraffe" mentioned that he had acquired some of "Emperor Roselle's Notes" and wanted to sell them to "the Chief".
Odis picked up the notebook and sorted through it roughly. The notebook had 18 pages, and the paper all looked a bit yellowed. He took out 9 of them: "The symbols on these pages are similar to the notebooks displayed in the commemorative exhibition. They are fakes."
He collects "Roselle the Great's" relics, so he doesn't want the kind of copied items.
Then he sorted out four more sheets: "These four sheets of paper are problematic; they are also counterfeit."
Actually, the sentences are grammatically incorrect; it's obviously a forgery.
"Giraffe" exclaimed, "I never expected you to have such a unique eye and insight into antiques."
Odis smiled and said, "I'll take these five pages, 10 pounds per page."
This is indeed a good price. Generally speaking, a single page of a handwritten copy of the "Russel's Notebooks" can sell for one or two pounds, while an authentic copy would cost between five and eight pounds.
But in order to make it appear as a "high-priced acquisition," Odis gave more, since it wasn't his own money anyway.
Later, someone else brought Roselle's "relics" to Odis for trade. Odis did not run an antique business, so of course he could not distinguish whether they were genuine or not.
He had no choice but to use divination to determine that, in the "secret seeker" stage, Odis's results from "astrological divination" were about the same level as those of the "diviner".
However, this is limited to "astrological divination." Unless there is the help of rituals, other types of divination are much less effective than those performed by "diviners."
After Odis was promoted to "Fighting Scholar", his divination ability improved slightly.
To be precise, it wasn't my divination skills that improved, but rather my spirituality that became stronger, which is why the divination results were slightly more accurate than before.
The results of divinations with overly complex inscriptions are still quite vague, but it is still possible to distinguish between true and false ones.
Among the many "relics," Odis acquired a fountain pen that had once been used by Emperor Russell for only 80 pounds.
This is a fountain pen with an Intis-style engraving on the cap. Surprisingly, it is still usable more than a hundred years later.
After confirming that there were no more genuine items, Odis announced the end of the gathering.
He returned to the basement of 77 Hilton Avenue, south of Green Park.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
Removing his mask and cloak, he transformed back into Odis, the herbalist shop owner.
This time, Odis simply took a taxi to the Backlund Mechanical Research Society.
On the carriage, he finally took out the five pages of his diary and began to read:
May 12th
Today I discussed with Bishop Van Esting what the path of the "Generalist" really represents, and after the discussion, I realized that it was quite helpful for my role.
Each approach seems to have a core meaning, and no matter which sequence is played, it seems that it cannot deviate too far from this core meaning.
For example, in the "Generalist" pathway I'm in, "Generalists" have enhanced abilities in learning, understanding, and practice, and can recall all the knowledge-related things they've seen before.
Sequence 8, "Archaeologist," also uses their knowledge to draw conclusions about things.
Later on, although the professions involved were different, the qualitative changes that potions brought me seemed to all be in the direction of strengthening my ability to learn and utilize knowledge, especially in the application of knowledge. This made my "practical ability" extremely strong, which is the biggest difference between me and a "reader".
What about other approaches? Do they also have the same core meaning? For example, the core meaning of the "secret seeker" approach is "knowledge itself," so all roles cannot be separated from the concept of "knowledge"?
What about the "Hunter" route? It can't be separated from the "Iron Man" type? Hahaha, this reminds me of that idiot Florent again.
After reading this page of the diary, Odis vaguely remembered that Floran was a member of the Soren family, who possessed the "Hunter" pathway.
One of his ancestors was suspected to have been a woman who became a "tough guy" in Sequence 4, and Roselle tried to make fun of the nobleman about it several times.
Then Odis slowly nodded: "Does Roselle sometimes think about some rather profound things?"
For example, this page of the diary reminded Odis that even when playing the role of a "fighting scholar," one should not deviate from the core meaning of "knowledge."
