Pause for a moment, Klein continued to write:
"The essence of solving the potion problem is digestion, not mastery. This can be intuitively understood."
"Mastery merely regards the power of the potion as an external tool, a tamed beast. No matter how good or proficient one masters it, it still does not truly belong to oneself. The risk of retaliation is higher. While digestion regards the potion one has consumed as part of oneself, decomposes it, integrates it, absorbs it, and unifies them into a whole."
"This point is not in doubt for the time being. The key is why 'acting' can help with digestion."
"Based on today's divination experience, make two conjectures and wait for further verification."
"1. According to the 'acting' in the potion name, it can change the state of body, mind, and spirit, allowing them to gradually approach the stubborn spirit remaining in the core of the potion, thus generating resonance, gradually assimilating, and gradually absorbing."
"2. The stubborn spirit remaining in the core of the potion is like a well-defended computer host. To invade it, break through it, and disintegrate it, one must find bugs, find vulnerabilities, find keys. The potion's name reveals the corresponding clues, so through acting, one can reconcile the body, mind, and spirit, disguise oneself as 'one of them', deceive the 'guardians', and swagger into it. This idea is similar to that of Emperor Roselius."
"Regardless of which conjecture, the state of the body, mind, and spirit are unavoidable elements. After all, they are the only bridge between 'acting' and the power of the potion."
Klein put down his pen and read through this text again. For a moment, he even wanted to thank the empire of gluttons for the exam education it provided.
Anyway, regardless of whether one has chosen science or engineering, the basic logical ability is still present. Otherwise, one cannot become a keyboard powerhouse and cannot conduct such analysis and speculation.
"Acting may indeed be effective. The specific changes await observation." Klein made a summary at this stage.
Then, he wrote down the second question:
"A strange description: Why do 'diviners' in the field of mysticism become more knowledgeable and professional, but lack direct means to defeat enemies? Knowledge and professionalism should not make 'diviners' stronger and more capable of discovering means to defeat enemies, right?"
"Analyzing the reasons:"
"The first, just like the online novels I have read before, I have entered a real-world game world. Therefore, different 'professions' must have their own characteristics and be relatively balanced. But so far, I have not found any signs of dataization or task-based development. This factor is temporarily suspended. It may be very low."
"The second, the underlying rules of this world are balanced. The Creator created this place with balance as the core."
"The third, the potions in the same sequence are at the same energy level. This was discovered by the predecessors through exploration and summary. Beyond this energy level, they are prone to collapse and out of control. Too low, they cannot obtain the desired extraordinary power. Therefore, under a certain energy level, one becomes stronger on one hand, and naturally becomes weaker on the other."
"The fourth, all things are of the same origin, all derived from the Creator, belonging to the Creator's fragments. The underlying meaning of mutual complementarity is that each has its own problems."
"At present, I tend to favor the third and fourth reasons, but the latter stems from uncertain myths and can only be used as a reference."
"First, follow the third reason and verify it through current learning and subsequent discoveries."
At this point, Klein had filled two full pages. But he did not stop. He continued to write and organize new questions:
"From today's learning, my 'transmutation ritual' belongs to a typical ritual magic." "Such ritual magic can be divided into three parts. The first part is the sacrificial part that pleases or arouses the interest of the corresponding entity. The second part is the incantation that describes the specific object of the prayer. The third part is the substantive part that expresses what help is desired. This needs to be clarified using formatted corresponding language and certain symbolic symbols."
"From this, analyzing the 'transmutation ritual' reveals a clear problem - there is no third part!"
"It has the sacrificial part where the main food is placed and the person walks counterclockwise four steps to form a square. There is also the incantation part that indicates the direction of the prayer, such as 'Fusen Xuanhuang Xianzun' etc."
"But its subsequent part is just closing eyes and waiting, without describing the purpose of the ritual as being for transmutation."
"So, this so-called 'transmutation ritual' has no idea what it is praying for. The corresponding entity can only freely speculate... freely speculate..."
"Damn! That book 'Secret Transmission of Qin and Han Alchemy' TM is really a joke, isn't it?"
"At that time, my mind must have been in a daze, that's why I thought of trying it..."
Klein stopped his pen, took two breaths, and tried to calm himself down.
Breath out, he let out the thick air, and continued to explain:
"Consider redesigning this ritual to make it complete, and the goal of the prayer is to return to Earth, to return to the world where parents and relatives are located."
"So the question arises, is that entity free to speculate? Or is there an underlying deeper purpose?"
"Furthermore, the entity pointed to by the descriptive incantation on Earth and the one pointed to in this world are they the same entity?"
"If so, the difference in the effects of the first and second rituals can be explained as free speculation. But the second and third can both go above the gray fog and connect 'Justice' and 'The Hangman', with almost no difference. Then what is the reason for this?"
"When the fourth ritual tomorrow afternoon proves to be stable and repeatable, it means the effect is solidified. It means the underlying purpose of the prayer is hidden in the parts I don't know yet. In this way, adding new descriptions and new prayers won't have a clear response. It will even make the ritual chaotic and produce a bad effect."
"The difference between the first and subsequent ones, when the prayer object remains unchanged, does it mean that the world where it is located will lead to different responses? Just like using different interfaces..."
"How should it be designed to achieve the effect I want?"
"If we think that the existence pointed to by the first and the following two times is different, some of the questions can be satisfactorily explained. But the same, the stability and constancy of the second and third can mean that the underlying purpose is hidden. Changing it is temporarily impossible."
"The most crucial point is, who is the pointing existence, where is it, and why does it give me no hint or guidance at all?"
"Is it in the depths of that gray fog world?"
"Huh, can we consider it as a sleeping existence, give it a certain stimulus, and obtain a fixed feedback existence? Besides, it won't interfere or affect me in any way?"
"Then we can design different rituals to stimulate, summarize the rules of feedback, and finally find the correct return method."
"But the problem is, if it is not asleep, all the tests could lead to terrifying things happening, which is very dangerous."
"The first test must be very careful, from the design, we need to avoid provoking..."
"Ugh, it's really frustrating. It needs further study."
Klein sighed and gave the conclusion.
After that, he scatteredly recorded other things:
"There is always an invisible voice echoing in my ears, shouting Horancius and, um, is the pronunciation Frelega or Ferlega?"
"Horancius is the mountain range spanning the Kingdom of Ruin and the Republic of Intis, its peak is over six thousand meters high."
"According to the notes of the Antigonus family, in the fourth age, there was a land of night." The Land of Night, the Goddess of Night - are there any connections between the two? Are they related by kinship or are they opposing forces? Was the Antigonus family wiped out by the Goddess of Night because of the destruction of the note? Is there a reason for the Land of Night?"
"The whispers I heard came from that notebook, from the cries of the Antigonus family over the past thousand or two centuries?"
"Frelega, um, Fregra, what do they represent?"
"An interesting question. To leave such a note, to leave the 2-049 seal object, indicates that the Antigonus family possessed considerable extraordinary power. Then, what is the sequence path in their hands? Complete or incomplete?"
"The discovery of the note in the hands of Rael Bibber is somewhat coincidental, but there are no traces of arrangement. Is it really a fate-bound bond?" ...
One idea after another flowed onto the paper, and Klein freely wrote down the events he had encountered during this period and his own speculations.
This writing lasted for a full four pages, both sides included.
Crack! Klein suddenly tore off these four pages, read them from beginning to end several times, sometimes circling with a pen, sometimes adding a few words.
Time flew by. The red moon was briefly obscured by clouds. Klein picked up the pocket watch on the table, clicked it open, and glanced at it.
He put down the pocket watch and took out a box of matches from the drawer. He flicked one to light, brought it close to the four pages of notes.
The orange-red flame seized the paper and spread rapidly.
Klein placed these four pages of notes on the wooden trash can. He saw the ashes floating and falling.
He loosened his fingers and let the paper fall. In just ten seconds, everything disappeared, only the still slightly swirling ashes and the burn marks at the bottom of the wooden bucket told the story.
Because there was the secret diary of Emperor Roselius before this, Klein didn't dare to leave any evidence that he could write in Chinese - if Old Neil and others found those four pages of paper, the situation would be unclear.
When writing about the confidential matters, whether using Ruan language, Gufsak language, or Hermes language, Klein was worried that the person who was watching him in his dream would see and interpret the content, so he wrote in Chinese, to organize and summarize, and when he finished this task, he burned the paper, leaving no trace.
And because it couldn't be preserved, he made a plan for himself. That is, to summarize once a week to avoid forgetting.
As the ashes fell completely, Klein took out a blank sheet of paper and wrote at the top:
"Dear Mentor:"
He wanted to write a letter to Professor Cohen Quentin, asking him if he had any historical materials related to Mount Horancius.
