The spurned "Vice Admiral Iceberg"
Danitz's expression froze instantly, gradually turning from excitement to blankness. He turned and walked expressionlessly toward Third Mate Jodson's room.
Fifteen minutes later, in the captain's cabin.
"You're half an hour late." "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina said calmly, her tone completely flat.
Lorry coughed slightly apologetically and said:
"Something urgent came up, so I went back to Backlund." I was so caught up in the celebration that I forgot about our appointment for the evening.
Edwina hummed in agreement, stood up, and walked towards the Sofa area.
Suddenly, her brow furrowed slightly, and the tip of her pert nose twitched almost imperceptibly. Noticing this, Lorry met her gaze, and both fell silent.
The air in the captain's cabin was silent for half a minute.
Letting out a slow breath, Edwina added, "The research's end time has been postponed to 10:30. Do you have any problems with that?"
"No." Lorry shook his head, secretly relieved.
At that moment, he was incredibly grateful for the "Vice Admiral Iceberg's " aloof personality.
Upon hearing this, Edwina began to address the main topic of the evening: "Since you and Jodson are on the same Pathway, you must also have some knowledge of Charm?" "But my research isn't very broad," Lorry explained frankly.
"My original idea was to use Charm as the main attack method and Mystical Item as a supplement to compensate for the lack of attack methods in the Low Sequence, but it was not implemented in the end."
"Because of the ' Curse of Knowledge,' I don't need regular Charm much, so I only study Charm with specific effects."
Edwina frowned slightly and said:
Your understanding is a typical example of an empirical Error.
Even seasoned "Polymath" carry some common Charm with them and do not consider them useless.
"For example, in certain special circumstances where one is unable to use their abilities, or when their remaining Spirituality is limited and needs to be conserved as much as possible."
--The Spirituality of Charm is "charged" in advance and gradually diminishes over time. It needs to be replenished regularly to maximize its effectiveness.
To use it, simply recite the activation Incantation.
Because of the characteristic of Spirituality loss, how to better preserve Charm becomes crucial, attracting countless experts in the Mysticism.
For example, Lorry learned a Ritual Magic from the "Curse of Knowledge" that extended the "shelf life," but at a considerable cost.
After learning it, he only used it on the "Spirituality Restoration" Charm. Seeing Lorry nod sincerely, Edwina's brow relaxed slightly, and she pulled the Blackboard over to continue the previous topic:
"To put it simply, the principle of Charm is that we please the gods with things God favor, paying them Spirituality in exchange for their gifts becoming power."
"Of course, some Saint and Angel can do the same."
As she spoke, she casually explained:
"Demigod" is a relatively broad term, with Mid-Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 being called Saint, and Sequence 2 and Sequence 1 being called Angel.
In religious texts, Sequence 1 beings are sometimes also referred to as Archangel.
As soon as she finished speaking, Edwina circled the words with white chalk, wrote the number "1" in front of them, and turned around to say:
"This is the most common, safest, and most orthodox method of production. The ritual is usually performed on seven righteous gods."
However, its drawback is that it covers a limited range of areas.
"Besides these, there are two other methods for making Charm."
As she wrote, she said:
"Second, utilize objects possessing high-level power or status. For example, the remains of Saint, the blood of Angel, etc., possess inherent power and can be crafted into Charm through proper rituals."
Lorry nodded slightly in agreement.
He knew that in the Original Novel, Klein had used the Worm of Time left behind by the High Sequence "Marauder" to create the "Luck Thief" Charm.
Edwina's calm voice continued to ring in my ears:
"Third, which is what we are about to try, is to exert the corresponding abilities and preserve them on a carrier through special means."
Such things also belong to the Charm.
At this point, she gave an example:
"I heard Danitz describe their battle with the three of them, including 'Iron' Maveti, Scowal used a ' Shriek ' Charm."
"This is one of the abilities of the ' Wraith,' created by Seniol. There's no doubt he used this method."
Lorry hummed in agreement.
The principle behind his creation of the "Sheriff" Charm is similar to this method.
Seemingly a little thirsty, "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina walked to her captain's table, picked up a glass of water, and took a couple of sips. She put down the glass and turned to look at Lorry:
"First, the first step in the research is firsthand experience. I need you to take me on a journey through the Spirit World so I can carefully feel the power of ' Teleportation.'"
"No problem."
Without a second thought, Lorry readily agreed, got up, and approached "Vice Admiral Iceberg." Just as he was about to use his ability, a question suddenly occurred to him:
Wouldn't that mean the two of them would have to have some intimate physical contact?
Thinking about this...
A hint of resistance flickered in his dark eyes.
"Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina looked at him silently, her light blue eyes, which resembled clear spring water, gradually filled with confusion.
It's just normal research on Charm, is it really necessary to be so discreet?
Besides, I'm not bad-looking either, am I?
Are there really men in the world who would actively refuse to interact with beautiful women?
Although she hadn't considered choosing a partner from her current crew, she knew that quite a few followers secretly admired her. Go to Bing search for the latest chapter!
This affection even outweighed the Affliction of being forced to attend classes.
If it were the real Jodson, he might already be fantasizing about his child's name.
"Madam, I have an idea."
Lorry coughed to break the silence and smiled, "While I'm studying the Charm, I can lend you this Mystical Item temporarily."
"With your strong Spirituality power, you can definitely hold on for longer."
Edwina glanced at him expressionlessly and nodded slightly.
"Good idea."
In exchange, you are free to browse any book and notebook on the bookshelf during this time, except for the six that have been sealed.
She reached out and took the "Curse of Knowledge," and under Sebastian's guidance, her figure quickly became ethereal and transparent, disappearing without a trace.
Lorry shrugged, turned and walked to the bookshelf. After browsing for a while, he successfully found two Mysticism Notes about Charm and rituals.
He picked one up and sat back on the Sofa, greedily absorbing the knowledge within. Time flew by like sand through his fingers, and three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Lorry glanced at the wall clock, closed his notebook and put it back in its place, then sat on the Sofa waiting for "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina to return.
Suddenly, the figure of the woman at the captain's table gradually came into view.
Her blue eyes held an undisguised smile, the corners of her mouth curved upwards in a pleasant arc, and a faint flush of excitement was visible on her face.
"So happy, it seems this trip was quite fruitful..." Lorry guessed to himself, taking the "Curse of Knowledge" and putting it back on.
