Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 37 Harvest
Secondly, he also gained a better understanding of this mysterious pendulum.

This pendulum is the one that Mr. World has been carrying with him all the time. Because it was carried by a high-level being for too long, it has transformed from an ordinary item into a magical item. It has three main abilities:

First, it provides the holder with excellent divination ability, not only pendulum divination, but also other divination methods of the holder will be greatly improved;

Second, the relevant information of the holder will be kept secret to a certain extent, so that others cannot make divination or predictions. It is not to make the other party's prediction fail, but to make the other party conclude that the target is normal.

As for the third point, Altaïr did not quite understand it, but he vaguely realized that this pendulum seemed to have some connection with the gray fog. This might be used in the future, but at present it did not help to directly increase his combat power.

In addition, since Altaïr had not exited the divination state when he had just come into contact with Mr. World, he instinctively gained some information and knowledge from him. Altaïr picked up the round-bellied fountain pen with a crooked tip and wrote on the parchment with shaking hands. Due to his injuries, his handwriting was a little messy, but it was not difficult to recognize.

"1. The Law of the Indestructibility of Extraordinary Characteristics: Extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed or reduced. They will only be transferred from one carrier to another."

"2. The law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics within similar sequences: if there are more high sequences, there will be fewer low sequences, and vice versa."

"3. Law of Beyonder Characteristic Aggregation: High-Sequence Items in the same path will intermittently and unconsciously attract mid- and low-Sequence Beyonders to their vicinity, and they tend to aggregate together. High-Sequence Items can sense this attraction."

"4. Be careful in the starry sky and underground."

“5. Do whatever you want, but don’t hurt.”

"6. Techniques for making the 'Confessor' spell... Materials: one 'Time Worm', one carbonized human skull fossil. The effect is to return the state of all things within a certain range to the state one minute ago. The rank of the things being regressed cannot be higher than the rank of the source of the Time Worm. The length of time for regression is also related to the target rank. One minute is the time it takes to regress an ordinary object. For beings above Sequence 4, the time for regression is about 5 seconds. The effective time is about one year..."

"7. 'Fortune Teller' potion recipe: Main ingredients: 10 ml of Lava octopus blood, 50 grams of star crystal... Auxiliary ingredients: 100 ml of pure water, 13 drops of nightshade juice, 7 leaves of golden mint, 3 drops of poison hemlock juice, 9 grams of dragon's blood powder."

"8. 'Master of Magic' potion recipe: Extraordinary materials: the stomach of a soul eater, 20 ml of deep-sea marlin blood; auxiliary materials: 5 ml of hornbeam essential oil, 10 grams of sedge powder, a blooming red chestnut flower, 80 ml of pure water.

"9. 'Astrologer' Extraordinary Materials: Blood crystal of Lava octopus, 60 grams of meteorite crystal, auxiliary materials are missing..."

When he recalled this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and then he felt unbearable pain coming from deep within his spirit, which made him unable to maintain the state of recall. He bit his sleeve to prevent himself from screaming and attracting Vinata's attention.

The curse just now also caused serious damage to his spirit!

Altaïr endured the pain and grasped the Rose Heart Necklace again, letting the vigorous growth power spread to every corner of his body, first allowing his body to fully recover. Then he picked up the bloodstained clothes and prepared to secretly wash them after Venata fell asleep.

Although he was seriously injured, this time he made a profit! Altaïr carefully examined the few lines of occult knowledge on the paper and felt that he had learned a lot of important things.

High-sequence items or Beyonders from the same path would intermittently attract low-sequence Beyonders to his side... Altaïr was thoughtful and seemed to understand something.

In other words, my ability to connect with Gagran and attend the Extraordinary gatherings led by her was also determined by this law? Altair suddenly felt a little ironic. Extraordinary people spent their entire lives, but in the end they were still at the mercy of fate and gathered together because of the irresistible law of mysticism.

But it's none of my business. Altaïr didn't feel sad for long. He threw the bloodstained clothes into the laundry basket, turned around and fell asleep on the bed. He didn't mind being manipulated or used as a chess piece. As long as the other party's chess skills were not too bad, it would be fine if he followed his wishes.

It is true that a chess piece may jump out of the chessboard, but a chess piece that jumps out of the chessboard loses its meaning!
……

After an unknown amount of time, Artair slowly woke up. The crimson moonlight was shining on his face, causing him to squint slightly. The clock on the wall showed that it was already past ten o'clock.

So hungry...

Altaïr rubbed his still swollen forehead. He had just used the "Indulgent Rose Heart" to heal his wound. Although the negative effects of this magical item had been basically suppressed after being processed by Miss Audrey, the nutrients needed to heal the wound still needed to be replenished in time by the user.

I don't know if that Vinata guy left any food for me...

Altair muttered quietly to himself, and prepared to go downstairs to the kitchen to make some midnight snack.

However, several deep white porcelain plates with lids were already placed on the dining table. Altaïr opened them and saw half a plate of ordinary-looking cream potato stew. The cream had solidified a little because it had been left there for too long.

"Vinata isn't that annoying sometimes..."

Altair muttered, and with the light of the only night lamp on the wall, he scooped a spoonful of the cold stew, broke off a piece of white bread, spread the stew on it, and took a big bite. Since the other party had left food for him, it was just right for him to save the effort of making a midnight snack. Cleaning the kitchen was tiring.

Then, his expression began to twitch and an indescribable taste filled his mouth, almost making it impossible for him to maintain his character.

I have always believed that stews are a food with a very high upper and lower limit. After all, as long as you throw something in to cook, it won’t be too unpalatable, whether it tastes sweet or salty... In a sense, Vinata really gave me a "surprise"...

Altaïr pondered over the stew for a long time, seriously considering whether there was any possibility of salvaging it. In the end, he decided to waste the food and dumped the strange stew directly into the trash can. At the moment when the sound of dumping was heard, Altaïr actually felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

After all this, Altaïr felt even hungrier. He even admired Vinata for eating half a plate of food.

It is said that the "Hunter" path also increases poison resistance...Altaïr is convinced of this.

Just as Altaïr lit the stove and prepared to cook himself some Feneport noodles, he heard footsteps upstairs and Vinata came down in her pajamas.

"Did you eat that stew?"

Venata rubbed her eyes and walked towards Altaïr.

"…Well, you did a great job. Don't do it again."

Altaïr bent down and found yellow noodles made of durum wheat in the drawer to hide his expression. At the same time, he kicked the trash can under the table to block Vinata's view with the tablecloth. Since the promulgation of the "Wheat Law", this wheat product originating from Feynaport has gradually replaced the wheat originally grown in Rune. When most of Feynaport's farmers switched to growing wheat, it was natural to tie Feynaport to Rune's chariot.

However, Altaïr did not care about these. He only cared about the implementation of this decree, which to some extent promoted the delicious and chewy pasta such as Fenapotter pasta, especially when paired with a rich green sauce, which was very much to his taste.

"Why did you use up the green sauce I put in the cupboard?"

Altaïr suddenly realized that his bottle of seasoning was empty and turned back to ask Venata.

"Your bottle didn't have a label, so I poured it into the stew thinking it was whipped cream."

Venata answered as a matter of course.

"I think if I continue to argue with you I'll get angry again, so forget it..."

Artair shut up angrily, took a small bottle of ketchup, melted the butter over low heat, and mixed it with chopped onion, basil, black pepper and salt to make the sauce. He then poured the ham and chopped green pepper into the pot and stir-fried it, mixed it with the noodles cooked in another pot, and served it out in two large plates, placing one of them heavily in front of Vinata.

"Is it necessary to add so many spices...Rich people are just different." Vinata twitched her nose slightly, showing an intoxicated expression, and then said with some envy.

"I didn't see you saving money when pouring the sauce." Altaïr ignored her and sat down at the table without even bothering to clean the pot, and started to work on his plate of Fenaport noodles. (I always write this kind of chapter on an empty stomach, post)
Thus, Altaïr and Venata completed their final preparations before entering the world beyond the Symbol of Twilight.
