The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 352: The old man in prison
"I have taught you everything that can be taught."
The old man was sitting in the shadows against the wall. The sunset light filtered in through the bars of the window and could only illuminate half of his chin.
Compared with yesterday, the old man's hoarse voice sounded much weaker: "How much...do you remember now?"
The delicious wind goose squatting in the cell opposite respectfully replied: "I remember them all, and I have not forgotten them all."
"...ha."
The old man sneered in a low voice: "At least half of what you said is a lie."
His low, hoarse voice was filled with an unconcealable aura of death.
From the moment the old man's bowl was smashed, Tasty Wind Goose never saw him say a word in front of the "jailer" who delivered the meal.
After being imprisoned in the dungeon, Delicious Wind Goose could at least have enough to eat three meals a day. But the old man opposite...the jailer never gave him a sip of food or a sip of water, which made his voice grow weaker.
It would be better to say that surviving for so long is already the limit.
Delicious Wind Goose was unable to leave much food for the old man because he was being watched while eating. He could only secretly hide an apple with each meal and throw it next to the old man after the jailer left.
It has nothing to do with profit.
The delicious wind goose is simply unbearable. While I can eat as much as I want, others - especially my teacher, have no food or water.
Maybe it is for this reason that the old man teaches the knowledge of the delicious wind goose ritual master...
He obviously looked down upon Yummy Wind Goose’s dull qualifications.
But Delicious Feng Ge also knew in his heart that what the old man said was true.
Half of the words of Delicious Wind Goose are indeed lies——
The old man granted him a total of twenty-six rituals of different sizes and scales, as well as a lot of mysterious knowledge. Except for a few rituals that are relatively simple, the rest are quite complex.
If you are a player with scientific research experience in real life, you may understand it better.
Yellow Wind Goose's feeling about these rituals is a bit like the physical chemistry experiments in high school and college - I have obviously memorized the text about the experimental steps in the textbook, but wonderful things always happen when I do it myself. Problem, cannot be completely copied.
And what’s even worse than what’s shown in the textbook is that he can’t even see a picture.
On average, the old man would erase and redraw the ritual formations painted on the ground in forty minutes - only a ghost can remember them.
Fortunately, he has a screenshot function...
Yes, Delicious Wind Goose directly saved the ritual steps and screenshots step by step.
When the time comes, just check it yourself and do it step by step.
Moreover, this knowledge about rituals seems to be determined by the system as "mysterious knowledge." This made Delicious Wind Goose send this knowledge to the forum, and the system suddenly prompted him that the "Hidden Eye" weekly task had been completed.
As long as you submit this knowledge to the Hidden Eye's database, you can get a lot of experience.
Delicious Wind Goose agreed immediately.
These rituals are divided into different levels according to difficulty and importance. After the player improves the reputation level in the "Hidden Eye" camp to the corresponding level, he can use keywords to check all the knowledge and intelligence in this level at any time.
It is much faster than querying pictures one by one.
As a price...the pictures and content here cannot be published through forum channels.
Of course, you can still memorize it, copy it and trade it offline - but that would mean spending your time learning it thoroughly and then teaching it to others. And if you master it yourself, you can teach it to others directly from mouth to mouth even in the foggy continent.
Still unable to record it on paper.
This is one of the core laws of this world.
There is power in knowledge... mysterious knowledge cannot be recorded by ordinary people, using ordinary words and ordinary paper. If it is written on paper, the paper will spontaneously ignite; if it is written on a wooden sign, the wood will decay.
Because power also means "curse".
Mortal objects cannot bear this level of curse.
For example, the moment when the old man used the fragments of the bowl to carve a magic circle on the ground. The temperature in the cell dropped significantly. There are also some magic circles that will freeze the surrounding land, and some magic circles that will make the ground ooze blood...
There is no doubt that the old man does not have any extraordinary abilities. But just the knowledge itself being "completely fixed" is enough to change reality.
Delicious Wind Goose was very good at the beginning... It is impossible for him to remember and understand this knowledge. To take a step back, as long as it works.
But I never expected that as an uploader of knowledge. Not only did he gain a wealth of experience, but he also allowed himself to call upon the uploaded knowledge at any time - which basically meant that he had learned it.
Although I still can't master the use of it.
"...that's all."
After the silence, the old man sighed deeply.
He reluctantly wrote something on the ground with the broken pieces of the bowl.
Delicious wind goose, although I can’t see what it is at all. But he was keenly aware that the ground beneath him seemed to be shaking slightly.
Soon, the land in front of the old man suddenly began to squirm.
Like a living thing, it returned to its original appearance.
No scratches, frost marks, or scorch marks were left.
That's just a few lines of text...
...in other words.
If the old man wanted to, he could use his knowledge to escape.
Not to mention, there are some rituals that cannot be taught in this situation... Just this simple ritual of ordering the earth to eliminate traces, the old man has never given the delicious wind goose.
He must have more hidden power.
The delicious wind goose couldn't help but ask: "Since you have the power...why don't you escape?"
"Why do you want to escape?"
The old man asked rhetorically.
Delicious Wind Goose was stunned.
He didn't know how to answer.
Seeing this, the old man laughed out loud.
It was not the sneer before, but the kind and gentle chuckle like the old man downstairs: "You are a good boy... but you are too stupid.
"You will learn whatever I teach you. Aren't you afraid that the knowledge I give you will be poisonous?"
"...can knowledge be poisonous?"
"That's natural."
The old man replied calmly: "Some knowledge just written on stone tablets is powerful enough to destroy a city; the secret messages I wrote on the ground can even control the earth. Why do you think...your brain, Will it be harder than a rock; your body will be thicker than the earth?
"Forget it, I won't scare you anymore. The knowledge I gave you does not contain any poison."
The old man said, raising his head slightly.
The light originally shone on his chin, but now it hit his skinny Adam's apple. As he spoke ~IndoMTL.com~ the sharp Adam's apple slid up and down: "My lifespan has come to an end.
"Some grand rituals always consume lifespan, and lifespan is the best fuel."
The old man replied calmly: "You will also have such a day."
Delicious Wind Goose couldn't help but ask: "What on earth...are you in jail for?"
"What happened?"
The old man sneered nonchalantly and replied in a low voice: "Everything."
He obviously did not intend to continue answering this question.
Silence temporarily enveloped the small, dark dungeon.
The one who finally broke the silence was not Delicious Wind Goose or any of the old people.
At this moment, the sound of the huge black iron key turning was heard.
From the outside to the inside, the three doors are opened by different keys.
Klaus Kass held a bunch of keys in his right hand and his long sword with a silver sheath on his waist.
"Have you thought about it?"
He stopped at the door and looked at the delicious wind goose, and the first sentence he asked directly: "Did you enjoy your stay in the same room with the dead for three days and two nights?"
...dead person?
The delicious wind goose was startled for a moment.
He suddenly looked up at the cell opposite him——
Sitting against the wall was an old man's body that had begun to rot. Next to the broken bowl, five apples with different degrees of decay were built into a small pyramid shape and placed securely in the corner.
The brilliance of the setting sun shines on his place.
...So, what was it that I saw and heard before?
