Chapter 24 Divination
The door of the workshop was closed behind Truman.

This thick wooden door and the narrow cubicle behind the door accompanied Truman's three-month period of ignorance when he first arrived in another world.

Now that Truman knows some extraordinary mysteries, but he has also left his sanctuary, the road ahead is destined to be not so easy.

Truman tightened the collar of his coat, took a deep look behind him, and then turned to leave. Immediately, he saw the girl who was waiting for him in the night.

She had come to say goodbye to him.

……

Truman and Lilith were the last two apprentices to leave the workshop.

The workshop in the dark is full of mystery.

Homeless people will try to avoid this area.

Legend has it that the workshop has magical powers and will devour ordinary humans who dare to approach.

In the past, this was just a legend, but today this legend will become a reality.

A homeless man not far away suddenly saw a strange light on the ground near the workshop.

The ashes and soil on the ground that melted during the day and were frozen hard at night began to float upwards with the white light under the influence of the wonderful force.

The homeless man's eyes widened in horror, and immediately after that, rays of light extended in all directions according to some strange law.

On the ground, an octagonal light pattern that does not exist in this world's knowledge system quietly emerged.

In the light, the humanoid monster with two blood-red tentacles stretched out from behind made a grand appearance.

He looked at the potion workshop, feeling the delicious knowledge rhythmically in it, and he let out an inexplicable admiration from his mouth, which was half fangs and half granulation.

The voice was no different from the murmur of a demon. The homeless man who saw the whole scene and heard only a few words felt his brain was burning at this moment.

The original "share" of the homeless man decreased rapidly, and the primitive thirst and anger occupied his brain, and he also let out a roar of unknown meaning, like a believer who was following some kind of miracle.

However, in monster form, he didn't notice that the human being, whose spirit had been easily and severely injured by him, kept his gaze and focus on the building full of knowledge in front of him.

boom!
A tentacles behind him shattered the door of the Potion Workshop, but just as he was about to step into it, a spark fell from the sky and burned him.

In the fierce flames, he let out an angry roar, and when he turned his head, he saw three red gloves rushing towards him.

……

the next day.

When Lilith came to the potion workshop early in the morning, she still had some expectations.

Because the owner of the workshop wanted her to take over from Truman to manage the entire translation workshop.

Although Lilith was a little bit reluctant to leave Truman, she was indeed looking forward to the new position.

However, as soon as she arrived at the workshop, she saw that the door of the workshop seemed to have been hit by a mad cow, it was badly damaged, and there were still traces of fire.

Walking into the workshop in surprise, Lilith found that not only the gate was destroyed, but also a large number of buildings inside.

The interior of the workshop seems to have experienced a war!
At the same time, Lilith noticed a lady wearing red gloves standing there, holding a short crutch in her hand, frowning tightly, as if something was bothering her.

Looking at this lady, Lilith felt very familiar.

"Ms. Xia Yan? Why are you here?"

Lilith looked at her Extraordinary idol - Lilith wanted to become an Extraordinary because she saw Xia Yan's ability to change material attributes - and let out a cry of surprise.

"It's you, little Lilith." Xia Yan looked at Lilith with a gentle smile.

……

At the same time, the workshop owner's tone was definitely not gentle.

"I need an explanation!" The workshop owner was throwing a tantrum at Pound, the captain of the Red Gloves Squad in Lundinny, "Why did that monster come into my workshop!"

"My lord, this is indeed our mistake." Pound smiled wryly, "The 'dimension' possessed by this polluted person is stronger than expected, and it is difficult for us to catch him in a short time. When the characteristic judges that he will appear in the potion workshop, it is too late to notify you."

"So you treat my workshop as a battlefield?" The owner of the workshop accused, "You also destroyed my warehouse for storing spiritual texts, causing a loss of tens of thousands of gold pounds!"

"My lord, it is impossible to lose so much money..." Pang De felt that he might be slapped, so he tried to defend himself.

"Hmph, I will list the bills one by one and send them to the Holy See. Then you can check them slowly. In addition, the damaged spiritual texts in the warehouse, including the materials for the promotion of the young Baron Habs, will be included at that time. I will settle accounts with you." The workshop owner snorted coldly.

"My lord, as a legendary 'soul refiner', it seems unbelievable that you were easily robbed of the workshop by a low-sequence polluter." With your assistance, this polluter can be easily disposed of."

"Who would have thought that when I went to enjoy a concert, you have turned my workshop into a battlefield?" The workshop owner showed a disgusted expression, "And what are you talking about, expecting me to fight?"

The owner of the workshop raised her slender wrist. Today she is wearing a plain silk dress, with gorgeous embroidery like oil paintings embedded from the waist up, like a waistcoat and a lady's skirt.

Not only does her waist appear slender, but also her snow-white skin is reflected like pearls flowing, and her outstretched wrist is even more slender and weak.

Looking at such a legendary 'soul refiner', Pang De couldn't help but sighed.

……

Pound, who felt that he might be burdened with a huge bill, reappeared in the workshop with a very dignified expression.

After hearing Xia Yan's report, Pound's expression became even more frosty.

"The 'divination' trait doesn't work on polluters anymore?"

The cane that Xia Yan is holding in her hand at the moment has a "divination" attribute.

"Characteristics" can be analyzed by a dead Extraordinary, regardless of whether they are still human beings when they die.

This "property" takes the form of a short walking stick.

It was analyzed by an extraordinary third-order "Shatong" sequence.

Since the ranks of the members of this red glove team do not exceed the third level of extraordinary, they can only keep one "characteristic" of the third level of extraordinary in the team.

The "features" of higher-level "legendary" or "mythical" levels are not available to them.

Using super-level "characteristics", if you are unlucky, the "share" will be emptied in an instant.

"Characteristics" are under the unified management of the Holy See and distributed to each team according to actual needs.

The characteristic of "divination" is rare and precious, and it is very useful for chasing pollution.

Previously, Xia Yan used this "divination" feature to find out that the place where the polluted person was about to arrive turned out to be the potion workshop of the workshop owner.

So Pound was indeed not lying, they didn't have time to inform the workshop owner.

And now, Pound looked at the crack on the cane.

There is a long crack on the cane, which spreads from the handle to the end of the cane. Because of the existence of this crack, it seems that the cane is near the end of its life.

It appeared just now when Xia Yan 'divinated' the polluted person again.

"This means...the polluter has a higher-level 'divination' feature." Pound found it incredible.

Divination skills will be reversed, which means that the object of divination is a higher-level Extraordinary in the same sequence or adjacent sequence.

But the polluter before didn't have this kind of 'divination' feature yet.

"It can only be that in the battle last night, he obtained new spiritual texts and characteristics from the workshop." Xia Yan said.

Pound frowned.

Very headache.

The polluted person first possesses the characteristic of 'space', and can come and go freely in the city.

Then it has the 'divination' feature, so that it cannot be tracked.

"Fortunately, he didn't kill anyone, otherwise our pressure would be even greater." Xia Yan sighed.

A polluter who is the enemy of human beings is the biggest trouble, and this one doesn't seem to kill people, which doesn't mean he is kinder, it's just that human beings don't attract him.

This is a good thing.
