—Scythe Configuration Decomposition Plan—, —Magic Penetration Device Design Blueprint—, —Application of the Diamond Dysfunction Equation in Alchemy Structure—…
As one alchemical book after another was opened, Angel now roughly saw that most of the alchemy books left here by Culuoli were design blueprints he had created.
These blueprints, for the vast majority of alchemists, definitely weren’t as important as a complete series of alchemical knowledge.
But for Angel, these blueprints suited his taste.
Firstly, he already had a complete alchemy cultivation system; Culuoli’s alchemical knowledge might not be suitable for him. Secondly, blueprints reveal an alchemist’s thought logic, as well as their way of thinking and problem-solving approach. This aspect was what Angel valued most.
He didn’t lack alchemical knowledge; what he lacked was the thought process in alchemy.
These blueprints precisely supplemented Angel’s certain deficiencies.
Apart from the complete blueprints, Angel also found a hand-drawn chronicle by Culuoli, which still depicted Mysterious Objects. After flipping through and confirming it was purely a chronicle, he set it aside to look at later.
As time passed, Angel read more and more books. But so far, except for the chronicle, he had not come across any content related to the Hoopa Coefficient.
“Just now, I saw you were quite focused. Why are you flipping through so quickly now that Rhine has arrived? Aren’t you going to read the content?” asked Tree Spirit, who had just finished a new cunning story. The story was so captivating that he couldn’t help but pause for a long breath. It was then that he noticed Angel’s actions and asked out of curiosity.
“I had some doubts about the chronicle I saw just now, regarding the Hoopa Coefficient…” Angel briefly explained his search objective.
Tree Spirit wasn’t really concerned about Angel; his mind was still on the story, so he just nodded casually and continued reading the next event.
It was Rhine who raised his eyes and said, “Hoopa Coefficient? I think I saw that just now.”
Angel immediately looked up, his eyes brimming with expectation as he gazed at Rhine.
Rhine was flipping backwards through —Culuoli Chronicles—, having already read six volumes and currently on —Culuoli Chronicles Seven—.
Although he had finished six volumes, he was using a reading spell to assist, so he just focused on key terms and didn’t go into the specifics of those —Belos Observation Diaries—.
Upon hearing that Angel was looking for the Hoopa Coefficient, Rhine thought back for a while before saying, “It should be recorded in —Culuoli Chronicles Twelve—, in the third entry of the Month of Frostfall, New History Year 5532. You might want to take a look.”
Angel’s eyes lit up, and he nodded in thanks to Rhine.
Rhine waved his hand indifferently, “I also found many important clues in the twelfth volume. We’ll discuss them later.”
With that, Rhine lowered his head, refocusing on the chronicle in his hands.
Angel then picked up —Culuoli Chronicles Twelve— and turned to the period indicated by Rhine.
This entry, unlike the other pages filled with dense writing, drew attention primarily to a very complex mathematical formula in the middle, with several weight diagrams below. This mathematical formula was different from mundane mathematics, mixing in extraordinary variables that affected the display of different weights.
Angel didn’t yet know what this mathematical formula was, so he decided to start reading from the beginning.
Still in Culuoli’s familiar elegant script——
“Today, the Orderly Guild relayed a message that in the underground potion factory of a city on the main island of the Azure World, a partially uncontrollable Mysterious Potion was discovered. I’ve been wanting to study Mysterious Potions lately, so I sent Belos and Moon to recover it.”
“Belos left, and it’s quite lonely.”
“The information from the Guild is that the key trigger for this Mysterious Potion is sound. Anyone who makes a noise near it will end up with different potion effects due to the differences in sound.”
“Not many people receive beneficial effects from the potion; most are negative. The death toll has already surpassed two thousand, mostly ordinary people.”
“At present, it’s unknown how it judges sound and releases potion effects. However, it’s said that beautiful music can lead to better beneficial effects.”
“If beautiful music can indeed influence the Mysterious Potion, then it’s possible to calculate its coefficient.”
“Anyway, with Belos gone and nothing else to do, I might as well start from the beginning.”
Next comes the densely filled formula. At this point, Angel naturally understands that this formula is the derivation formula for the Hoopa Coefficient!
Culuoli seems to have a certain marking habit, similar to how he marks each room’s purpose in a three-dimensional map. This habit also extends to his formula derivation.
He meticulously marked every step, every detail, and every condition of the formula, even offering a simple explanation for some of these markings.
This allows Angel to more intuitively and conveniently see the entire derivation process of the Hoopa Coefficient.
As he slowly understands the whole formula, the mysterious veil of the Hoopa Coefficient is finally lifted, revealing just the tip of the iceberg.
Angel’s previous conjectures about the Hoopa Coefficient were already very close to the truth but were not yet complete.
The Hoopa Coefficient is actually a composite coefficient, combining the degree of disorder, the range of influence, whether it’s a phenomenon, material, or fantasy level, through multiple calculations, derived from its weighted proportion.
The range of the coefficient is calculated by percentage weight, meaning it ranges from 1-100.
However, Angel speculates from certain strange blanks in the formula that 100 might not be the real upper limit; there might be Mysterious Objects exceeding 100. Otherwise, why would there be a small but noticeable blank after exceeding 100 in the weight proportion?
The lower the Hoopa Coefficient, the safer and more stable it is. The higher the coefficient, the more dangerous and unsolvable it is. Generally, if the Hoopa Coefficient exceeds 70, it’s considered a disorderly object.
However, the Hoopa Coefficient is not a simple record of strength level. That is, a lower coefficient doesn’t mean the Mysterious Object is weaker, only that it’s more stable.
For instance, if Angel applies this formula to “Dream Conch of the Moonlit Coast” without precise records from the Orderly Guild, just a rough estimate, its coefficient wouldn’t exceed 10, maybe not even 5.
But considering the actual effects of the Dream Conch, it’s definitely not weak.
So, a low coefficient doesn’t mean the Mysterious Object isn’t strong.
But it’s foreseeable that the higher the coefficient, the more disorderly and certainly more dangerous it is, so the strength definitely won’t be low.
After reading the formula for the Hoopa Coefficient, Angel feels he can accept it quite quickly.
After all, if the Hoopa Coefficient’s standards can be used by the Orderly Guild to judge Mysterious Objects, then it represents its authority in the Source World.
Angel continues to read the rest of the page.
“The Hoopa Coefficient of this Mysterious Potion is around 40. It just reaches the standard of partial loss of control, so Belos and Moon should be able to recover it.”
“Finally, it is impossible not to marvel, Hoopa truly lives up to his reputation as the person closest to the truth on the path of alchemy, every use of the Hoopa Formula is mesmerizing.”
That is the entirety of this page’s content.
The last sentence, though not explicitly stated, suggests that Hoopa’s identity is probably that of a Miracle Wizard, highly esteemed by alchemists.
Yet, such a person is still far beyond his reach.
Angel remembered Hoopa’s name, then turned the page.
He wanted to see if there was any mention of the Hoopa Coefficient or the Mysterious Object in the following text.
However, there was none.
On the next page, Belos had already returned from the mission of recovering the Mysterious Potion, and Culuoli, having things to do, entered a state of covert observation again.
Angel casually flipped through, preparing to set this chronicle aside.
But perhaps it was fate, or some kind of mental inclination, that as Angel flipped to a certain page later in the text, his eyes inadvertently caught a familiar term.
It was a term both familiar and strange to Angel.
——Black Transformation Spell.
…
Black Transformation Spell was recorded in the —Foundation of Alchemy— book that Angel acquired in Nightfall City within the Nightmare Plane.
It was a unique alchemical spell developed and followed by the death faction, led by Odoros, during the ancient times when alchemical factions were numerous.
The alchemists of the death faction greatly revered the color black, believing it represented withering and eternal silence of death. Black meant causing all matter to perish, to be reborn upon death in another form of existence.
Because Black Transformation Spell was very special, being the only spell in alchemy without any spell level restrictions, Angel planned to learn it as soon as he obtained it. He even spent a hefty sum to purchase a Black Gold Nightmare Soul Horn, specifically for crafting the death faction’s magic conductor.
However, after the magic conductor was completed, he still failed to master the Black Transformation Spell.
Angel didn’t know why he couldn’t learn the Black Transformation Spell, and after several trials without any improvement, he temporarily set it aside.
He never imagined that one day in Culuoli’s chronicle, he would encounter the Black Transformation Spell again in this manner.
Angel didn’t know why Culuoli mentioned the Black Transformation Spell, so he read this page from start to finish.
After reading this section, Angel’s expression was slightly peculiar.
This page’s section was still mainly about Belos. It narrated how a witch, whose name Culuoli deemed unworthy to record, secretly inquired Belos during a mission about why Culuoli could create a Mysterious Object, whether he had inherited the death faction’s legacy, and learned the legendary Black Transformation Spell.
This was the first mention of the Black Transformation Spell, said by the unnamed witch.
And in this page’s content, Black Transformation Spell was mentioned once more, in Culuoli’s inner monologue.
“I just went to the Ghost Kingdom, and rumors spread that I discovered the death faction’s alchemical ruins and inherited the Black Transformation Spell? Damn, if it really were the death faction’s ruins, wouldn’t you go to the Ghost Kingdom to see for yourself?”
After that, it was mostly Culuoli’s frenzied ranting, with little substantial content.
But these two mentions of the Black Transformation Spell left Angel stunned.
From the records of the Black Transformation Spell, Angel acquired two pieces of information:
Firstly, the Black Transformation Spell had been lost; secondly, the Black Transformation Spell seemed to be related to the crafting of Mysterious Objects? ——This was inferred from the tone of an unknown witch.
Angel had long speculated about the loss of the Black Transformation Spell. This is because the book that records the Black Transformation Spell, —Foundation of Alchemy—, is widely circulated in the Southern Region, but the Southern Region’s version of —Foundation of Alchemy— has everything except Black Transformation Spell.
Therefore, at that time, Angel speculated that the Black Transformation Spell might no longer be popular or even lost.
But Angel never thought that the Black Transformation Spell, inconspicuously recorded in —Foundation of Alchemy—, would be related to the crafting of Mysterious Objects?
At first, Angel even doubted whether the Black Transformation Spell they spoke of were the same as the one he learned. But in the chronicle of Culuoli, it was clearly mentioned about the death faction, so it must be the same.
The Black Transformation Spell sought by the unknown witch and mentioned with regret in Culuoli’s tone should be the same as the one Angel acquired.
After realizing this, Angel’s heart rate suddenly quickened.
He himself was very eager to delve into the mysterious realm, but it was extremely difficult to reach. Unexpectedly, a casual glance today opened a new door for him!
However, Angel’s excitement didn’t last long before he lost his spirit again.
Whether the Black Transformation Spell is truly related to the crafting of Mysterious Objects has not yet been confirmed; even if it is confirmed, not being able to learn the Black Transformation Spell still leaves him helpless…
“Anyway, having the record of the Black Transformation Spell is ultimately a good thing,” Angel mused silently, “Maybe one day it will work.”
Although he thought this way and felt a bit better, Angel couldn’t help but sigh.
“You’re excited, then shaking your head, then sighing… What’s wrong with you?” At this moment, Tree Spirit’s voice suddenly came.
Angel shook his head: “Nothing, I just didn’t expect Culuoli to record even the trivial matters of Belos’ life so meticulously, it’s somewhat moving.”
About the matter of the Black Transformation Spell, Angel did not plan to tell outsiders. Although the content of this chronicle was probably already seen by Rhine, as long as outsiders don’t know that he knows Black Transformation Spell, it doesn’t matter.
Tree Spirit: “Do you think so too? I’m also curious why Culuoli has been secretly observing Belos. You don’t know, in —Culuoli Chronicles Three—, Culuoli recorded even when Belos…”
Tree Spirit was interrupted by Rhine halfway through his sentence.
“Let’s put other topics aside for now. Have you finished —Culuoli Chronicles Three—? Did it mention any important information earlier?”
Tree Spirit turned and saw that Rhine’s left side was already stacked with a pile of read books, with —Culuoli Chronicles Four— on top. According to the order, it was obvious that Rhine should read —Culuoli Chronicles Three—, which was in Tree Spirit’s hands.
“I’ve finished, there’s no useful information. The only thing known is that the Mysterious Object crafted by Culuoli seems to be a kind of steel stamp, which Belos and Moon mentioned during their conversation… Moon is a follower assigned to Culuoli by the Orderly Guild, and his strength has also reached the legendary realm,” said Tree Spirit.
Rhine nodded and whispered softly, “It seems that the first three volumes aren’t worth revisiting.”
After a pause, Rhine said, “Then let me talk about what I’ve found on my side, I’ve discovered a lot of useful information.”
