ghost on paper

Chapter 15 Competition
Since it is a competition.

Keep an eye on your opponent's progress.

Truman had never seen Anton translating spiritual texts. This guy had always appeared in the workshop of the Potion Workshop as a supervisor.

This was evident in Anton's clumsy handling of the brush and quicksilver.

But Anton translated very quickly.

A clock is placed between two tables.

They started translating at 9:12 a.m., and by 3:[-] a.m., Anton had completed three words, and the progress was astonishing.

According to the "share" estimate, An Dongji may have the total "share" of translating 8 to 10 single-character spiritual scripts.

Is this the number of 'shares' owned by the 'scholar' sequence extraordinary second order?

Doesn't seem like much...

But Anton has yet to use the 'tricks' that belong exclusively to Extraordinary people.

According to the workshop owner, the technique of the 'scholar' sequence is very suitable for translating the spiritual script.

Looking at the progress of the opponent's work, Truman frowned. By 12 o'clock, Truman only got 2 spiritual scripts, and Lilith got 1, which was equivalent to Anton.

Did Anton, who didn't use 'skills', get promoted because he was still familiar with the power of Extraordinary?

Truman's observation was noticed by Anton, and Anton glared at Truman.

At the same time, Anton noticed that Lilith was writing and filling in mercury to trace the spiritual script, but Truman hadn't written and filled in the form, but there was still translation, so the source of his copying was...

Truman is stealing words from Anton's side!
Confused, Anton confirmed this after looking at it a few times.

"Despicable pariah!" Anton shouted angrily.

Truman was taken aback by the scolding, what's wrong?
It's just a few words to describe you, isn't it just saving a little time of brushing mercury?Mercury is not yours, and the materials are all provided by Harris Jr., what are you in a hurry for?
"Is something wrong?" A calm voice sounded.

They are members of the Red Gloves. The three of them turned their backs to the translators, forming a triangle to surround the entire space, as if they could respond to any situation in time.

This professionalism made Truman believe that they were probably not just attendants, but also responsible for security.

"...It's okay." Anton seemed to calm down, "It's just that seeing a bedbug spoiled my mood."

Truman narrowed his eyes and told himself to be calm. He described Anton's characters to expand his cognition and concept of these 20 "continuous words", not to be opportunistic.

Of course, from a larger perspective, this is opportunism, taking the opportunity of the knowledge of the earth, and taking the opportunity of the extraordinary world.

……

19 pm.

Truman could no longer observe Anton's completion of a few words, and this guy also started to translate out of order.

As for Truman, he completed 4 words, and Lilith completed 3. At this stage, both Truman and Lilith have given up the idea of ​​completing this 20-character "continuous word" today. .

With only 2 hours left, they only completed 7 characters, and they are far away from the goal, so they can only wait for tomorrow.

In that case, just relax.

4 words and 3 words, close to the upper limit of the 'share' of Truman and Lilith.

Of course, if you try your best to squeeze, both of them will still have room. In the current state, the mind is starting to get dizzy, but it is not so chaotic.

Ah... Truman suddenly felt Lilith pulling him.

The apprentices of the Potion Workshop were used to silence when they were working.

One is because translating spiritual texts requires one's own calmness, and excessive emotions will reduce one's "share".

The second is because translating the spiritual text needs to be alone, and more than three people will make the spiritual text in an 'incomprehensible' state.

So Lilith didn't speak at this moment, but her actions expressed her shock. She almost pulled off the vest that Truman was wearing over his shirt.

how……?
Truman looked at Lilith in surprise, and saw Lilith looking at the other side in shock, the bloodshot eyes from work made her panic even deeper.

At this moment, Lilith's expression could be used in a horror movie, that is the moment when the character in the play sees a ghost appearing.

is... what?
Truman also looked over, and immediately, he was also in shock and couldn't extricate himself.

What is this? !
In front of Truman and Lilith, behind Anton who was opposite them, a long tentacles were erected!

The tentacles were blood red ready to blow, and covered with countless white suckers like a baby's mouth.

This tentacle was clinging to the pottery screen, the suction cup was facing the Lingwen, as if it was identifying the characters on it, while Anton bent over the table and kept writing.

"Ah!" Lilith yelled when she finally realized that she could still speak.

Truman stopped Lilith behind with a wave of his hand. As soon as his nerves became tense, the effect of the injection on the earth emerged, and he could run away at any time.

"What's the matter?" the red-gloved attendant asked again.

"Monster!" Truman shouted, pointing at Anton.

"Stupid pariah! This is the form of a Extraordinary!" Anton raised his head and sneered. Truman noticed that his eyes were blood red, and he looked even more inhuman, like a devil.

"I'm gradually mastering extraordinary power, and I'll be able to complete this job in just one more day!" Anton said again, his tone full of ridicule, "You guys still want to compete with me, how stupid!"

The red gloves fell silent, obviously agreeing with Anton's statement.

But Truman only had one kind of plant on the earth in his mind. Of course, this kind of plant also exists in the Extraordinary World.

This is the virtue of the Extraordinary? !

……

When Truman left Habs Castle, he was a little out of his wits.

Besides him, the owner of the workshop, Anton and Lilith all chose to stay in Habsburg and accept the hospitality of the little Baron Habs.

After all, the opportunity to enjoy the life of the top aristocrats is rare. Truman would have stayed if he hadn't had the secret of time travel and was worried about being exposed.

When I went back this time, I took the carriage of the Habs family. In addition to being more luxurious and spacious, because of the family crest of the Habs family, this carriage was unimpeded in the city.

Other carriages and pedestrians will keep their distance from this carriage, and the sheriff will also take off his hat to salute the carriage.

If it is on Earth, this must be treated as a state guest.

Truman didn't feel too emotional, he still had the form of Anton, the form of an Extraordinary.

The tentacles of 'blow bombs can be broken', which seemed to be filled with pus and blood, and covered with white baby's mouth, were always lingering in front of Truman's eyes. Is this the Extraordinary?
Truman's desire to become an Extraordinary is actually influenced by the owner of the workshop. Powerful, rich, beautiful, elegant and effortless, this is Truman's impression of the Extraordinary in this world.

But the existence of Anton broke this impression, and Truman began to wonder if he really wanted to become a Extraordinary.

"Anton may have become like that directly after drinking the second-order potion... After all, the master of the workshop is an Extraordinary, and the little Baron Habs may also be an Extraordinary. They are not 'perverted'..."

not always.

"Skill."

Truman muttered to himself.

What if it changes form only when using 'skills'?

The owner of the workshop said that the "skills" of the "scholar" sequence are very helpful for translating spiritual texts and making potions. Isn't it beneficial to grow an octopus tentacles out of thin air, and it is also beneficial for cooking and making beds.

But I don't fucking want to be Dr. Octopus!
