Chapter 3161 Fate Weaving and Observation

"After more than a decade of exploration, the basic characteristics of this angel-level relic have been determined to be as follows:

After touching, basic information about an individual is displayed, such as name, physical condition, soul state, etc. This information cannot be changed, but the fate of the individual can be affected by adding new information to the card. ”

The doctor's explanation was very simple, and I guess the academy did not tell the team leaders more detailed information about the relics. Father Augustus had also finished reading the contents of the parchment. He asked Luvia:

"Annat, have you heard of this relic in the Prophet's Association?"

Luvia actually nodded:

"When we first acquired this relic, Saint Byron invited the association to conduct some joint containment experiments. However, information about angel-level relics is not open to the public, and I may not know as much about them as the doctor. Because of something that happened last year, I learned that this card-shaped relic can have a significant impact on the [Dice Story Collection], which is also angel-level."

[Dice Story Collection] is a special relic that allows players to control an ordinary person to complete an event by rolling dice and making decisions. Xia De has participated in two incidents, but both times he was the subject of control.

The first time was during Margaret's visit to Tobesk last winter, when Iluna controlled [Mortal's Luck·Shad], and together with the professor of the Truth Society and the cultists who believed in [Mr. Doom], they captured "Thief Jack"; the second time was in Moon Bay this summer, when Bella controlled [Outlander·Miss Charlotte] on the "Belindel Big Ben" and pursued the murderer in broad daylight with the ring magicians of the Light Chaser Club.

The controlled objects in the story collection will display their own characteristics, abilities and other information to the players, which is very similar to the [Fate Weaver Card].

The doctor then continued:

"The Academy only informed us of the characteristics of the Fate Weaver Card. We will not directly touch the relic itself. After imprinting the Fate Weaver Card on a blank card of the same size through a special method, a derivative of the relic - the Fate Observer Card - can be formed."

"I noticed the name change, so the derivatives can only be used to observe information?"

Xia De touched Mia and asked, and the doctor nodded:

"Yes, the derivatives can only display the information of the person who touches it, and no longer have the ability to affect the fate of the person who touches it by modifying the information. In this experiment we participated in, the School of Astronomy hopes to determine whether there is an upper limit to the number of observer cards that can be activated at one time, and whether the accuracy of the information displayed by the derivatives will be affected when the derivatives leave the relic body and are at different distances from different locations.

If we accept the task, five unactivated tokens will be delivered. ”

Information about angel-level relics is not allowed to leak out, so the above information was not written on paper but conveyed directly by the doctor.

"Will the information displayed on the derivative appear on the relic itself? I don't want my privacy to be leaked."

Xia De asked again, and the doctor answered with certainty:

"Won't."

Luvia also replied:

"According to the information I know, the derivatives and the original are different items."

"So the mission requires us to activate the derivative cards after we obtain them, right?"

Father Augustus asked, and the doctor shook his head:

“That’s a correct description, but the process is not that simple.

After the academy has determined the locations of all task takers, it will formulate a plan to have different groups activate the derivative effects in batches at fixed times and locations. After the results are displayed, we also need to organize the accuracy of the actual information into a report and submit it.

These tasks are neither tedious nor dangerous. The only uncertainty of this mission is that when each derivative is activated, there is a one-fifth chance that a spider-like monster called "Fate Weaver" will be born, which tends to attack the activator of the derivative. We need to kill it and hand over the remaining limbs of the monster after its death to the academy. These spiders can produce precious spider silk materials.

By the way, if the original body of the angel-level relic is used, the 'Fate Weaver' will definitely appear once it is used, and this is only the mildest of the negative characteristics of the relic itself. Relics related to fate have always been like this. ”

"So what is the strength of 'Fate Weaver'?"

"The Fate Weaver created by the relic itself is extremely powerful. However, the strongest Fate Weaver summoned by the derivative is only at the ninth ring. With advance preparation, a correspondence team of five people is enough to deal with it."

After asking for the information, everyone discussed it and decided that this task could be taken on. Xia De and the doctor do not need the 40 points of practical credits, and after sharing them with the other three, they have met the basic requirement for practical credits this year.

As for the cash and two relics, they can be distributed after the mission is completed. But no matter what, Luvia from the School of Astronomy gets the biggest advantage. After all, only she can improve the overall evaluation at the end of the year, which will bring about an increase in rewards after the year-end evaluation.

The deadline for applying to join the experiment was this Sunday, so after obtaining everyone's approval, the doctor sent the reward order with five signatures back to the college on a page of poetry manuscript paper.

Half an hour later, when everyone was talking about the review progress, a letter of approval for the task application came from the academy:

"The School of Astronomy needs to integrate information from various places, and plans to start the experiment next Wednesday night. You can come to my place again on Tuesday morning, and I should have a specific action plan by then."

The doctor instructed, and did not forget to ask Xia De:

"I remember you said you had plans to go to Yuewan to attend some activities recently. Will it delay things?"

"It won't delay anything. Today is the 13th of this month, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Yuewan Bridge will be next Sunday."

The detective holding the cat shook his head and looked towards the window in this warm room. Snow was falling outside the window, and the city had completely turned silver-white:

"I just hope this heavy snow won't affect our mission."

The blizzard that started on Monday suddenly stopped on Saturday night when Shad and Dorothy were dating. But according to Luvia's divination, this was just the calm before a new round of bad weather.

No mistake, just one song, one post, one content, one look!

On Sunday, the king directly ordered the Tobysk garrison to bring professional equipment into the city to clear the snow. The so-called "professional equipment" was a small portable gas spray gun. Ten people stood in a row, and the gas spray guns in their hands were connected to the special carriage carrying the gas tank at the back through metal hoses. With flames melting the snow on the ground that had been sprinkled with snow-melting agents, an entire street could be cleared quickly.

This is probably one of the few scenes in this magical steam age that can surprise outsiders. As for the effect that these special equipment can play in war, at least ordinary citizens who have gained convenience will not care.

Carina suddenly realized that it was a wise decision for her to let the decoration team move into No. 7 St. Teresa's Square last week for decoration. After a week of heavy snow, the roof collapse caused by the accumulation of snow brought a large number of customers to the local decoration industry.

More than one neighbor has come to House No. 7, which is being renovated, and asked the construction workers if they could temporarily help them repair the roof or deal with the dangerous icicles hanging under the eaves.

But the royal construction team, who were directly ordered by Carina Cavendish to carry out the construction, did not dare to earn extra wages before the work was completed.

When a new Monday (the 15th) arrived, Shad not only received a year-end gift from the gift box, a coin worth 1 gold pound, but he also received good news from the Prophet Association - the appraisal of [Genesis Time] had been completed, and the card was confirmed to be authentic.

Because Xia De said that he didn't mind the spread of the news, before he received the good news from Vice President Mark who came to his house in the snow, the big news that [Genesis Time] had never appeared before had already spread everywhere.

When Carina showed up at Shad's house on Monday night, she even said that even old Duke Lucas asked her where the card came from during a break in the House of Lords meeting.

"And what was your answer?"

"What else can I say? The people of Saladir County gave it to me. The poor widow with the posthumous child, to whom I gave her a house, said she found it in the cracks of the basement wall of the ancestral home of her husband, who was dead and had no relatives left."

"Well that makes perfect sense."

The witch who was having dinner with Shade at home poked him with a silver fork:

"You can only tell me where the cards came from once. I'm curious what you're going to say next time. You can't say the cards were blown into your door by the wind, right?"

Snow fell again over Tobysk on Monday night when the Duchess visited and stayed overnight. Although the new round of snowfall was not as exaggerated as last week, by the time we woke up on Tuesday, St. Teresa's Square, which had only been cleared over the weekend, had been dyed silver again.

Before leaving, Carina left the good news that the "Accordion Hotel" in the woods had been initially acquired by Sylvia and Flora, and the church required the buyer of the hotel to hire the three daughters of the Bennet family to work. With a source of income, the girls can be better confined in the woods.

Now that he mentioned the hotel work, Shad thought of Little John, a boy who lived in a trash can with a puppy in the back alley of the Green Lake Hotel when he was adventuring in the Green Lake area this spring.

The child was now taken in by the Green siblings, working in the hotel and having food and lodging. Taking advantage of the fact that he had nothing to do today, Shade went to Green Lake to visit him, and talked with the Green siblings and their old ghoul father about the recent tensions in the border area.
