Chapter 7 Pollution and Death
Author: seedless melon
The death of Chen Xing.
Attracted the workshop owner.
She looked into the cubicle that originally belonged to Truman and saw a body covered in charred black and white.
It is different from the apprentice corpse that turned into wax in the cubicle numbered '518'.
Chen Xing seemed to be covered in feathers after being burned, which was extremely weird.
It is absolutely impossible for such a burning result to occur naturally, but both Truman and Lilith could swear that they saw Chen Xing burned like this with their own eyes.
That kind of fire, with feathers growing in the fire, was fierce and weird. It burned Chen Xing to death while climbing on him. Recalling it still made the two of them feel chills down their spines.
Listening to Truman and Lilith's story, Anton remained silent and his face was ashen.
The owner of the workshop used his pipe to pick up the only piece of parchment left on site, with the word "crow" written on it.
"Isn't this the job assigned today... Tsk~" The owner of the workshop glanced at Anton, laughed, and then said: "From today on, Truman is my official student. What about the translation work of Lingwen?"
…”
Anton looked at the workshop owner in shock.
"...Anton is still in charge." The owner of the workshop smiled like a beautiful fox playing with people's hearts.
Anton was obviously relieved.
"Truman is responsible for a group alone to complete the special work assigned by me." The workshop owner continued.
No one dared to object.
"Truman, come with me." The owner of the workshop said.
Truman followed the workshop owner and looked at her swaying back and the white thighs exposed when the hem of her skirt was rolled up, feeling a little dazed.
Every time he had the opportunity to contact the workshop owner when his 'quota' was exhausted, this made him very annoyed because his mind was not clear and he could not grasp the key points that he should inquire about.
The entire workshop is very large. In addition to the cubicle corridor where Truman is located, there are many areas. However, Truman has never been there and does not know what the purpose is and who is responsible for management.
When we arrived at the workshop owner's office, the huge bed was still very attractive, and the soft carpet under his feet also made Truman a little distracted.
"Tell me, if Chen Xing gave you a fake spiritual text and hid the real thing in himself, how would you translate the real 'continuous words' and use the spontaneous combustion phenomenon when the spiritual text loses its uniqueness to put Chen Xing
Burnt to death?" The owner of the workshop asked leisurely while leaning on the bed.
"I didn't mean it. I didn't know about the mysterious text... Well, I didn't know that the spiritual text would spontaneously combust. No, I knew that the spiritual text would spontaneously combust when it lost its uniqueness, but I didn't know that it would burn people to death, and I didn't know that Chen Xing would burn people to death.
Isn’t it too silly to hide the true spirit text on oneself?”
He tried hard to organize his thoughts and control his emotions, but Truman still couldn't help but curse.
He didn't want to kill Chen Xing. Even if Chen Xing disrupted his work, Truman didn't think it was worth killing.
Now Truman learned from the workshop owner that the 'mysterious text' was actually called 'lingwen'.
And all apprentices know that during the process of copying spiritual texts, they will lose their uniqueness and will spontaneously ignite. So if you put a spiritual text that has not yet been copied close to your body, is it because you think you are not dying fast enough?
"He probably didn't expect you to get the real spiritual text...how did you get it?" the workshop owner asked.
How did you get it...?
That’s a good question…?
Truman recalled the contents of his notepad on the earth last night.
The translation on the first day was not completed. After traveling back to Earth, Truman had forgotten what those words were.
This kind of forgetfulness is complete forgetfulness. Even if you rack your brain, you can't recall what those words are.
But the overall impression is still there, just like you don't remember what you played in the amusement park yesterday, but you remember that you went to the amusement park.
This impression is that it should be a poem related to Zhuge Liang.
So spending half an hour cramming all the seven-character rhyme poems about Zhuge Liang became the confidence that Truman would be able to complete the work.
When he saw "Eternal Cloud Night and One Crow Feather", he immediately understood that the sixth word was wrong.
However, at that time, Truman had no idea that Chen Xing would do something wrong. He thought that Chen Xing made a mistake on purpose.
Now that I think about it, it makes sense for Chen Xing to exchange the fake for the real.
During the translation process, the words are traced according to the writing marks on the pottery. If a mistake is made intentionally, the possibility of being discovered is higher during the process.
Replace the entire card, because at that moment everyone’s ‘share’ has insufficient balance and they are in a daze, so the possibility of success is naturally greater.
…
Now, of course Truman cannot give such an explanation, and he has already thought about how to explain it.
"Lilith told me that Chen Xing is related to Anton. I don't trust him. Although I assigned him the task of the sixth word, I am also working on the translation of that word..."
When Truman said this, he puffed up his chest quite proudly, "That's why I completed 4 spiritual texts instead of 3."
This lie will not be exposed.
Because of the unique existence of 'continuous words', those individual spiritual texts were burned and there was no evidence.
Among the two witnesses, Chen Xing is dead, and Lilith may not necessarily help Truman lie, but Truman can also say that she can't remember other people's workload during her intense work.
"Very good~" The owner of the workshop clapped softly, not knowing whether he was talking about Truman's excellent work ability or something else.
"Master Boss..." Truman pressed his head, feeling that he should ask for more information and knowledge while he was awake.
"Change the name~" The workshop owner shook his head.
"...Teacher." Truman said, "Can I know more about the sequence?"
"Of course." The owner of the workshop sat there, swaying his feet, and the slippers embedded with gems shone like neon in the light.
Truman shook his head, forced his eyes back, and listened to the workshop owner describing the extraordinary power system in this world. That was the reward he deserved.
…
On the notepad.
Truman wrote a lot of words:
"The third level of extraordinary, the third level of legend, the third level of myth, these are the extraordinary sequential career systems that make up this world..."
"The sequence is 'stable' when it comes to extraordinary, legendary and mythical beings, which is reflected in the 'stable' professional characteristics..."
"For example, 'scholars' are divided into extraordinary first-level 'scholars', extraordinary second-level 'scholars' and extraordinary third-level 'scholars'. The levels change, but the names remain the same..."
"When jumping from the extraordinary to the legendary, or from the legendary to the mythical, you can change the 'sequence'..."
"For example, the owner of the workshop is a legendary soul refiner. She holds the three extraordinary sequences leading to the legendary soul refiner, namely craftsman, scholar and actor..."
"Compared with the secret medicines and rituals of the promotion sequence, the jump between sequences is a higher level of knowledge and secrets. What is involved, she did not say..."
"The owner of the workshop suggested that I choose the 'scholar' sequence in the extraordinary stage... The potion formula is 25 gold pounds, the finished potion is 30 gold pounds, and the ceremony is free..."
"It's too expensive. Based on the previous income rate, I'm afraid it will take several years to save up. No wonder Anton has never been promoted..."
"No, Anton's family is a trader. It is said that the annual income exceeds 500 gold pounds. He should be able to get this money..."
"What kind of power will you have after being promoted to the Extraordinary Sequence?"
"Tomorrow the owner of the workshop said she would take me to see how to refine potions. She said this was a punishment for Anton, not a reward for me. Maybe she knows everything."
“Finally, why is it ‘Eternal Cloud Night and One Feather’???”
