Chapter 679 mission complete!
After all, every solution Chu Yang had proposed before had been successful.
Not to mention that she has been investigating what happened back then for years, but has not made any breakthroughs at all.
However, Chu Yang promptly created a suitable investigation channel for her.
As Miss Hugh and her companion were chatting and laughing on their way home, they were completely unaware that a faint ripple was slowly appearing by the second-floor window of the building behind them.
The woman in the aristocratic evening gown stood there quietly.
The woman was exquisitely beautiful, wearing a black hat on her head. She rested her left hand on her smooth chin and watched Miss Hugh and her companion slowly walk away.
Meanwhile, in the afternoon, Chu Yang went to find Manhattan and began to study occult knowledge.
As time went on, much of the knowledge Manhattan taught him became increasingly evident in its practical application.
Much knowledge has moved away from the mystical side and begun to move towards the taboo side.
If Chu Yang hadn't been familiar with many plot developments, and if other forbidden knowledge in his mind hadn't been temporarily blocked...
Therefore, they felt terrified upon seeing the knowledge they were about to learn.
If it were someone else here, they probably wouldn't have the courage to learn the forbidden knowledge at hand.
After all, to some extent, when you step into the forbidden, the forbidden also comes to you.
"Chu Yang, we are both on the Reader's Path, so if we want to advance, we must acquire as much knowledge as possible."
"Furthermore, we can design special rituals for holding magic circles during this process."
"But it must be admitted that any reader at a lower rank is simply not strong enough in terms of combat power."
"Therefore, there will always be people who will take the risk and try to pray to gods or demons that exist in taboos in order to gain stronger combat power."
"And the vast majority of people are led astray by the devil or forbidden gods in the process of prayer, thus changing their knowledge and beliefs."
As he said this, Manhattan stared intently at Chu Yang.
"But I understand that only the god of knowledge and wisdom is the best object of faith."
"Let alone some demons, even if you choose to worship the Lord of Night or the Lord of Storms, your end will probably be very miserable."
Under Manhattan's guidance, Chu Yang began to try to construct a new magic circle step by step.
Manhattan will point out any minor mistake Chu Yang makes at crucial moments.
This thoughtful guidance allowed Chu Yang's understanding of magic circles to progress rapidly.
He sincerely exclaimed, "Having a teacher is indeed very important. Looking back now, I realize how lucky I am."
Otherwise, even if he used his Pure White Eyes to analyze the materials needed for various magic arrays, it would probably take him a very long time to prepare the corresponding materials, not to mention the implementation of the magic arrays.
But after completing the analysis and setup of yet another magic circle, Manhattan finally stopped, then slowly exhaled, saying somewhat wearily:
"That's all for today. I also need to find some time to move. I'll try to be back as soon as possible."
"The situation outside is somewhat turbulent right now, so I will try to speed up your teaching as much as possible. After dinner, we will also study the ancient, mysterious, and forbidden language together."
Hearing this, Chu Yang nodded obediently.
In fact, as soon as he left Manhattan, Chu Yang couldn't wait to come out of the house.
He strolled along the road and bought many of the things he needed to set up the magic circle he had just learned.
Now that he had learned everything about magic, he naturally had to try to set it up.
Just like when he used the knowledge points in the plot to set up the spiritual wall.
Only through practice can one better digest everything they have learned.
Moreover, he specially bought a pair of glasses so that he could use his eyes to prove the abnormality of his eyes after the ceremony was completed.
In this way, he can use the Pure White Eyes at will.
After returning to his residence, he first took out all the things needed to prepare for the ceremony.
Then, of course, they wouldn't forget the spiritual wall they had built to shield themselves from everything, and they would put everything back on track.
Before each ceremony can be performed, a suitable object of worship must be selected.
Chu Yang naturally followed Manhattan's advice and chose the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
He even brought out a religious book that had been used in Manhattan for a long time before he began to set up the corresponding rituals.
First, he reached out and picked up a green mint leaf. When the leaf was lit, the entire venue was filled with the fresh aroma of mint.
"It seems that adding a special flavor to mint leaves can, to some extent, enhance the spiritual power of the person setting up the ritual."
This is also an inspiration he drew from the original plot.
In the original story, the Fool Klein did just that, and through this behavior, he gained quite a few followers.
After inscribing all the fixed symbols on the object, Chu Yang began to pray according to the specific actions and in the ancient taboo language.
"The power of great knowledge extends throughout the world."
"Great taboo knowledge guides people forward."
"Great God of Knowledge and Wisdom, your devout followers pray for your power."
...
As Chu Yang continued to chant the runes, the atmosphere at the scene began to change.
A strange fluctuation of spiritual energy began to slowly emerge at the scene.
All the exquisite instruments that Chu Yang had set up began to tremble slightly.
The silver cutlery and plates he had placed in front of him were even starting to wobble slightly.
It's as if there's an invisible force trying to pick them up and then start manipulating them to eat.
Although this wasn't the first time he'd seen something like this, Chu Yang was still a little nervous.
This situation indicates that the ceremony is basically complete, and all that remains is to wait for the final result.
But he was still somewhat impatient until the glasses he had specially purchased were granted special powers.
The vibrations of all the instruments on site lasted for less than thirty seconds before completely subsiding.
The sixteen white candles that Chu Yang had lit by the window had turned pure green.
Even the candles they lit were a bright green.
Furthermore, the surfaces of these candles have long been engraved with extremely unique and eerie patterns and symbols.
Then, Chu Yang subconsciously pinched his brow, and immediately felt a strong pain in his head.
This is because the power of faith, which belongs exclusively to the god of knowledge and wisdom, has been significantly drained away.
Chu Yang was not an absolutely loyal believer to begin with, so after most of his faith was destroyed, he naturally felt extreme pain.
Chu Yang even lost a portion of his extraordinary power as a result.
Half an hour later, Chu Yang finally came to his senses.
"Fortunately, my mental strength had already been greatly enhanced through repeated fainting spells."
"Otherwise, he might really fall into a coma again."
What excited Chu Yang the most was that the god of knowledge and wisdom answered his prayers.
This means that his imposter status has not been completely exposed.
Or rather, the gods residing in the heavens do not currently harbor any ill will towards him.
"It seems I can now focus on getting stronger without worry."
Given enough time to develop, he will eventually join the Tarot Club.
Once you become a loyal member of the Tarot Society, even the god of knowledge and wisdom cannot touch you.
Chu Yang quickly tidied up the room and then quietly waited for Manhattan to return.
After all, everything he's doing now is being done behind his teacher's back, and he doesn't want to reveal his trump card too easily.
Sure enough, when Manhattan first saw Chu Yang wearing glasses, he couldn't help but tease him.
"The glasses you picked are nice, but they don't quite match your outfit. You should get a better quality suit sometime."
Manhattan carefully extracted a superb suggestion.
Chu Yang could only complain inwardly that he simply didn't have that much money.
If you want a very formal suit, you'll need at least around one hundred pounds.
Even if he asked his childhood friend, Elinda, it would be difficult to buy her at a low price.
After all, the clothes at his close female friend's house weren't quite up to par.
After Manhattan returned to China, Chu Yang continued to learn ancient taboo languages from him.
Because he had consumed a lot of spiritual energy when setting up the ritual, he dared not easily activate his Pure White Eyes to speed up his learning progress.
Under these circumstances, he could only devote 100% of his attention to the learning process.
Even so, he still gained a great deal that night.
"It seems that this body has an excellent learning talent."
Even Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Meanwhile, at the abandoned manor that Chu Yang and Miss Xiu had visited, an uninvited guest arrived late at night.
The old servant who had been guarding the place all along had no idea.
After the uninvited guests arrived, they immediately collapsed inside the manor as if taking a leisurely stroll.
Suddenly he stopped and looked to his right.
After a faint ripple, a woman dressed in a noblewoman's gown appeared in the spot.
The woman was still wearing a black soft hat; she was the same mysterious woman who had watched Miss Hugh and her best friend leave together.
The man who suddenly arrived was not at all surprised by the woman's appearance.
"Someone has already been here. Should we move out immediately?"
The man immediately looked at the noblewoman beside him.
"No need, I've already investigated. They were just ordinary people practicing at the shooting range."
The woman spoke succinctly.
To them, the newly acquired Sequence Nine Backups are no different from ordinary people.
……
The next morning, following Miss Xiu's instructions from the previous day, Chu Yang began to rigorously hone his body according to the knight's training methods.
After wiping all the sweat off his body, he went to the coffee shop he often frequented for breakfast, as agreed.
As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw that the café was packed with customers, just like any other day.
But upon closer inspection, he discovered that everyone had ordered his favorite simple set meal: the cheapest drink and the cheapest cake and pastry.
The total price of both did not even exceed one percent of the gold pound.
However, before Chu Yang first came to this coffee shop, there was no such strange minimum spending package.
"So, did I accidentally start a consumer trend again?"
Chu Yang's lips twitched involuntarily.
He suddenly realized that the owners of these cafes probably wouldn't be happy to see this situation.
Sure enough, when he turned his gaze over, he found that the shop owner and the waitress were looking at him with extremely resentful eyes.
Chu Yang had no choice but to pretend he hadn't noticed anything and then began searching for Miss Xiu.
At that moment, a blue-collar worker was sitting opposite Miss Hugh.
It was clear that Miss Hugh was once again playing her special role as an arbitrator, helping some of the workers who could afford to pay to resolve the problems they encountered.
It was through similar incidents that Miss Hugh's reputation spread throughout the region.
After that guy left, Chu Yang naturally sat down opposite Miss Xiu.
"The gentleman who just left must have been the client from before. It seems his matter has been resolved smoothly."
As Chu Yang spoke, he very naturally ordered another minimum-cost set meal.
"Pushkin's threat is gone, so I went to see that Lodak last night."
"Without the help of the extraordinary, he's just an ordinary gang leader, so naturally he wouldn't dare disobey my advice."
Miss Hugh said this with a smug look on her face.
At this moment, Chu Yang felt no emotion.
It seems that Miss Hugh wasn't imprisoned like in the original story, but he did, to some extent, completely change the trajectory of her life.
At least in the short term, Miss Hugh will likely find it difficult to contact the noblewomen she would have met in prison.
"By the way, Chu Yang, a good friend of mine wants to see you. What do you think?"
Miss Hugh suddenly became a little nervous and started asking questions.
"Of course! If it's convenient, now is the best time."
Chu Yang couldn't help but yawn, then picked up the coffee in front of him and took a big gulp.
"Um... how about we have lunch together at noon?"
Seeing that Chu Yang looked somewhat bewildered, Miss Xiu quickly explained:
"The person who wants to see you is my best friend; she usually needs to sleep until noon to fully wake up."
"And if there's nothing to do all day, she can even sleep from morning till night."
Seeing Miss Hugh's rather embarrassed expression, Chu Yang immediately knew that she was referring to Miss Fors. (End of Chapter)
