Chapter 535: The Shortcut to the Grand Spellbook
i Linde’s office & laboratory.
The layout here was completely different from a while ago.
The central experintal area of the office now housed a huge alchemical construct.
Precise structures interlocked with each other, driving the Runes to operate.
The variable alchemical alloy was constantly flashing and alternating between two fixed structures in a rhythmic manner.
This was an instrunt crafted by hand by several Transcendent Academic Witches, led by i Linde, to assist in Destiny Gazing Technique observations.
One should not underestimate the ability of Witches to craft instrunts by hand.
After all, when Teacher Ji Niang and I first ca into contact with [Transcendent Knowledge] for the nth ti, Teacher Ji Niang began teaching how to craft the key components of precision instrunts by hand.
So, this thod could only be described as a traditional technique.
And precisely because of this thod used by Witches, the Witches were very economical in their research expenditures.
They essentially saved wherever possible, and none of the Witches researching the Grand Spellbook with had ever asked for funding.
They were truly… too conscientious, to the point where I felt a little guilty.
And the instrunt located in the center of i Linde’s office was not only precise.
The crystal-like object in the center of the instrunt even contained a Tree of Knowledge that had sprouted from a Seed of Great Knowledge, specifically to assist the operation of the Destiny Gazing Technique instrunt.
And that crystal that could carry and allow the Seed of Great Knowledge to sprout outside the Sea of Consciousness was precisely the crystal of the Seed of Great Knowledge Carrier that was previously described as being quite useless.
Earlier, I had even gifted this to other Witches.
Now it seed that the Witch was successful.
She completed the mimicry of the Sea of Consciousness environnt and dium, allowing the Seed of Great Knowledge to sprout in a place outside the Sea of Consciousness of a living consciousness.
And I hadn't expected its first application to be here.
“Little Han? I didn’t expect you to co in person. I just heard from a sister that you were planning to descend using your Shadow of Knowledge later,” A Witch I was familiar with here actively and warmly greeted upon seeing my arrival.
At this mont, i Linde was still busy and did not dare to be distracted by my presence.
“Well… I ca over because of so things, and it wasn’t much trouble anyway,” I simply said, and then greeted a few other Witch Sisters nearby.
I found that calling these Transcendent Witches "Sister" had beco very natural for now.
However, being sweet-talked like this was not a bad thing.
Since I was not good at socializing, I could only use this thod to maintain my image in the eyes of the ntors.
After briefly glancing around, I suddenly saw a figure in a corner here that seed out of place.
It wasn't because of her dressing style, but because her behavior and motivation clearly indicated she shouldn't be here.
It was Natalie, the Alchemist Master who was customizing my weapon.
I quietly approached her.
She was currently making gestures in the air, but as the owner of the Great Tree of Knowledge, I naturally recognized that it was the effect of the Seed of Great Knowledge.
Several design light screens were circling around her, recording detailed annotations.
Natalie was currently modifying the design blueprint in front of her.
Even though I wasn't deliberately looking, the information was already presented.
It was the modification plan for the Book in the Casket.
“Big Sis Natalie, I didn’t expect to et you here,” I went over to talk, feigning a bit of surprise.
“Hmm? Oh, Little, Little Han, what are you doing here?”
Natalie was also stunned when she was suddenly addressed.
She looked up and saw smiling at her.
She quickly brushed aside the design drafts in front of her, as if afraid I would see them.
“What the Academy Head is currently busy with is sowhat related to , so I just ca along. Big Sis Natalie, were you modifying the design draft for the Book in the Casket just now?”
“You saw it?”
Natalie instinctively asked.
She clearly rembered that this display was only visible to herself, right?
“Yes, after all, the Seed of Great Knowledge originated from . So, I saw it unconsciously. It’s not a problem with the Seed of Great Knowledge. I’m really sorry,” I quickly explained.
“Oh, I almost forgot. This Seed of Great Knowledge… I asked i Linde for it, or rather, she gave it to …”
“Big Sis Natalie, you don’t need to deliberately explain the source to . After all, I promote it almost for free. As long as it’s not wasted, I don’t mind. But Big Sis Natalie, were you perfecting the design draft just now?”
I continued to ask.
After all, this was the second ti I had asked this question, and I felt that Natalie seed afraid for to see her design draft.
“Yes… I ca here this ti to discuss the material issues. I didn’t expect i to be busy now, and she won’t let a Witch like take her treasured materials, afraid I’ll steal them all. Where is the trust between Witches?”
Natalie complained to with a slightly aggrieved tone.
I felt sowhat speechless upon hearing this.
I hadn't expected Natalie's credibility to be so low in Academy Head i's eyes?
However, I still briefly comforted Natalie and then talked about the design plan for the Book in the Casket.
I also slightly understood why she had been avoiding and not letting see the design draft: it stemd from her personal professional habit.
Before the final design draft was completed, she disliked having others see it.
After all, she hated being criticized by unprofessional people midway.
She would rather quietly create several design versions alone than have others interrupt her train of thought mid-process.
She had truly been traumatized.
I also learned about the current progress of my weapon from Natalie.
Although only a few days had passed, Natalie had already prepared at least three design plans based on the materials she expected to fleece.
This efficiency truly shocked .
Since my essential requirents for the weapon were not high, I gave Natalie a lot of freedom when discussing the weapon design and suggestions.
After all, weapon design was also highly dependent on materials.
Restricted by objective factors, the final product definitely couldn't be designed exactly according to all my ideas.
Just as Natalie was telling about her design philosophy, several Witches suddenly tore open space and teleported here.
Their arrival imdiately attracted the attention of all the Witches present.
Even Natalie's attention was drawn away, because these Witches were the ones who went to the site to collect data.
Their arrival ant that the data collection for this incident was complete, and the further update of the Destiny Gazing Technique could continue.
Natalie also stopped at this mont.
Although she really liked quiet and casual listeners like Little Han, if the matter could be resolved quickly now, she could also get so materials sooner and go back to complete her creative construct!
I took this opportunity to understand the relevant techniques of the Destiny Gazing Technique that the Academy Head had shared.
Looking at the content, which contained a large number of technical terms, I also felt the dinsionality reduction attack from the Academy Head’s terrifying cognition.
Although I couldn't clearly understand the extent to which the Academy Head had applied the Destiny Gazing Technique in a short ti, I roughly understood the function of the instrunt in front of .
If my previous Destiny Gazing Technique was about recording and understanding established events, the deduction that Academy Head i could perform using this precise instrunt could achieve the prediction of the direction of future Destiny!
And short-term prediction could be almost infallibly accurate!
The most important function of this Destiny observation instrunt was the prediction of the future Destiny trajectory.
This was the most crucial point.
Accurate prediction of the short-term future Script was actually not very useful.
The greater utility lay in the deduction of possible futures.
By deducing the stage-by-stage ending they preferred, they could accurately intervene in the Script's trajectory and achieve their predetermined outco.
This was the most important point.
It ant that mastering this technique would elevate their control over the Script to a new level!
Compared to their previous behavior of observing Destiny flow to consider various possibilities for their layout, this was like a single leap into modernization!
This was an annotation deliberately made by i Linde for to read.
At this mont, as the data was being input, the instrunt was activated, and that Seed of Great Knowledge also transmitted a movent that I couldn't ignore.
Ti passed minute by minute.
I could feel the terrifying information interaction between this Tree of Knowledge and my Great Tree of Knowledge.
I didn't know what the Academy Head and the others were doing, but such a terrifying information integration was highly likely that the Academy Head and the others were reviewing the details of this Script.
The instrunt produced a series of distorted and continuously corrected images based on the data provided by the observation, which were sowhat similar to the product of the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell, but I could be sure that this was not the sa.
This was a reproduction of the Script scene based on the Destiny Gazing Technique and the Great Tree of Knowledge!
Although such scenes could be obtained directly by retrieving Earth Vein Information, the source essence of these images was different, and the significance they represented was also different.
When the Script deduction constructed by the Destiny Gazing Technique matched the acquired data images, a round of applause imdiately erupted at the scene.
It seed that the current test had t their expectations.
Even I clapped along.
After all, although I seed not to have participated throughout the process, the Great Tree of Knowledge contributed a great deal to it.
The Destiny Gazing Technique was based on the Tree of Knowledge, and obtaining the surface information of these "Floating World"-level Destiny flows also required to complete the collection.
After the test, a group of Witches quickly proceeded with the subsequent data organization, and these trivial matters naturally did not require the trouble of Academy Head i Linde.
Just as I was about to step forward, Natalie beat to it.
Academy Head i felt a headache upon seeing the Witch approach.
“You’ve been staking out here until now?”
“Yes. Didn't you tell to wait first? Look, Little Han is here. The main person is here. You can't go back on your word, can you?”
“No, did you trick Little Han? There’s no need to fleece all my inventory so quickly just for refining a weapon normally, is there? Did you hoard so for yourself?”
“Uh… Big Sis i, are the consumables very expensive?”
I, who was pushed forward by Natalie as a bargaining chip, also asked weakly.
I truly didn't know much about these things.
Could it be that Natalie really fleeced the Academy Head dry?
“It’s fine. I’m just preventing a certain person from fleecing and ultimately putting the debt on your head, although I did say…”
“If you don't trust , you can just say so. I can sign a Witch's Contract to prove that I won't hide a single thing!”
Natalie argued from the side.
“I know what kind of person you are, but don't be so blatant about your greed. The contribution Little Han is making now is worth paying so much, but I don't necessarily have to benefit you, understand?”
“Tsk…”
“Don't make that face at . I’ll talk to you about the materials after I’m done with my work. You’ve waited this long, so you’re not in a hurry, are you?”
i Linde then left her standing there.
She only gave Natalie a back view and took away, chatting with along the way, without feeling that leaving the other party there was wrong at all.
After chatting with for a few sentences, the Academy Head was also a little curious as to why I had intentionally co in person, especially since she had just learned a while ago that I wouldn't be coming myself.
“Oh, mainly because I have sothing I want to ask the Academy Head for help with in person.”
“Oh? Ask for help? Have you encountered another problem?”
i Linde asked with so interest.
After all, the last ti I said this was when I ca to ask about the Fool's Dream girls and Dream State creatures.
“Yes, it’s… I want the research materials related to the Great Wisdom Enlightennt Spell Grand Spellbook…”
I said.
And this was my real purpose for coming.
Now I had a compelling reason to thoroughly delve into the Great Wisdom Enlightennt Spell.
So, to save ti, I directly chose to "ask for the guide."
After all, the Great Wisdom Enlightennt Spell was the Academy Head’s achievent, so the Academy Head’s understanding of it must be very profound.
“Oh You’re starting to research this Grand Spellbook. Aren’t you going to figure it out yourself anymore?”
i Linde smiled slightly at my request.
This request was naturally not too much.
In fact, she had already promised this before, but Little Han had never taken it seriously.
“Mmm…”
I nodded.
Pondering it slowly myself was truly too slow.
I almost forgot that there was a shortcut I could take.
I now felt that I was qualified to touch upon the systematic research of the Grand Spellbook and [Transcendent Knowledge] related materials.
Of course, the main reason was that I wanted to further understand the essence of the Grand Spellbook and see if my so-called derivation was just "a fool's dream."
“Alright then. The research materials related to the Grand Spellbook might be quite nurous. I will organize them and send them over later. The organization of these materials will take ti, but you had better be ntally prepared, because there is really a lot of it.”
“It’s fine. I don’t mind that,” I said casually.
The large quantity was natural.
After all, it was a century's accumulation; these data and research materials were naturally abundant.
“That’s good. However, I need to remind you in advance. How should I put this Grand Spellbook? Because of your help, it was completed ahead of ti, so the materials I will send you later will be missing a part compared to those complete Grand Spellbooks. Of course, even so, it should be enough for you to study for a long ti, but I still need to ntion this to you beforehand.”
“Is that so? Thank you for the reminder, Big Sis i. I don't mind it at all.”
“Then, if I may ask, how far have you developed the application of the Great Wisdom Enlightennt Spell now?”
“Hmm… I’ve just started. I’m just past the stage of only being able to cast it, I suppose…”
I said modestly.
“By the way, I also have a question I want to ask.”
“Mmm, go ahead and ask.”
“It’s also related to this Grand Spellbook… Although its na is the Great Wisdom Enlightennt Spell, this… shouldn’t be the most precise description for this Grand Spellbook, right?”
I asked tentatively.
Since this question was equivalent to challenging the authority of the Grand Spellbook designated by the Academy Head, I naturally phrased it more delicately.
“Oh? You've already understood the Great Wisdom Enlightennt Spell to this extent? Since you asked, I will be direct. Objectively speaking, I do understand that this na is not sufficient to describe this Grand Spellbook, but based on my cognition of this Grand Spellbook, this na is indeed suitable for it and is the most easily pronounced na.”
“Thank you…”
“It’s nothing.”
