"Speaking of which, let's talk about my current job. I'm a Mystery Hunter from the Order Faction. I'm responsible for retrieving Mystery items that have gone out of control. "Froste began his explanation.
Following Froste's explanation, a scroll that Angor had never seen before slowly unfurled before his eyes.
The Order Association was a superstar association in the Origin World. Anyone from a Magus organization could join, even if they were a wandering Magus. The main purpose of the Order Faction was to retrieve Mystery items that had gone out of control and prevent them from causing a greater disaster.
Froste was a mysterious hunter in the Order Guild. Although he was called a hunter, he only hunted for one thing, which was the mysterious item that was out of control.
"Currently, Mystery items can be classified into three types based on their degree of stability. Controllable, which belongs to the state of order. Half-Controllable, which belongs to the state of chaos. Uncontrollable, which belongs to the state of disorder.
"Controllable Mystery items are those that can't actively affect the outside world while they're still in storage.
"Half-Controllable Mystery items are those that can still be controlled under certain circumstances. If they lose control, they'll go out of control.
"As for uncontrollable Mystery items, as the name suggests, they can't be controlled at all. As long as you meet the conditions for them to invade, they'll go out of control without stopping."
Angor was still confused after hearing Froste's explanation. He didn't completely understand it, but he still felt like there was a thin veil between them.
Froste considered for a moment and continued, "How about this? I'll give you an example. Maybe it'll help you understand.
"Controllable Mystery items are those that belong to the state of order. More than 80% of the Mystery items found in the southern region are like this. For example, the Starliege Church's Mystery of the Stars.
"The Mystery of the Stars is powerful, but it's controlled by a Prophet from Starliege Church. It's very stable, so there's no chance of it going out of control. "
Froste's eyes widened when he mentioned the Mystery of the Stars. He knew that there were powerful Mystery items in all four worlds. Many of them couldn't be replaced even in the Origin World. The Mystery of the Stars was one of them.
However, due to the rules of the Ancient Covenant, they couldn't steal from the four worlds.
Angor also knew about the Riddle of Stars, which was used to reveal the stars of the future. It was a medium that allowed Prophets to perform their astrology more smoothly. This was a mysterious item that was so powerful that it had to have a cooldown period.
The Stargazing Day of the Starliege Church was actually the day when the mystery of the stars opened. The Stargazing Day was held every six months, which was the preparation period for the Mystery of the Stars. It could also be said that it was the cooling period.
Using a controllable example, Froste continued, "Half out of control, that is, a Mysterious object in a chaotic state that is about to go out of control. This kind of half-out-of-control existence is a very special state. Although it seems to be restrained, it does not mean that it is stable. "
"Most of the mysterious items that possess the 'egotism' attribute are considered to be half-out of control."
"Only I, in other words, is to recognize a master."
At this point, Frost suddenly thrust his hand into his own chest.
But when he looked at Froste's chest again, he didn't see any blood coming out. Instead, he sensed a faint ripple of space energy coming from where Froste's hand touched Froste's chest.
Froste dug into his chest several times, which was a horrifying sight for mortals.
After a short while, Frost took out a pitch-black flute from his chest.
Angor didn't want to use his Alchemy Eye to check the material of the flute. His eyes only saw a cold, bone-like object. The flute also looked as if it was carved out of a single piece. There were no other decorations or materials. It was simple, but Angor's taste as an alchemist gave him a unique sense of delicacy.
When the flute appeared, Angor noticed that Froste didn't move at all, but the notes on the flute began to dance on their own.
A strange melody with a beautiful tone that contained an absurd twist flowed out of the flute.
Angor's mind was in a mess as he listened to the music. His body swayed as if an evil shadow was about to emerge from the depths of his mind.
Just then, the music stopped abruptly.
Angor looked up and saw Froste twirling the flute as if it was a pen. Then Froste clenched the flute tightly. The music stopped, and Froste held the flute tightly in his hand.
Angor felt the evil shadow in his mind disappear, and the boiling evil thoughts calmed down.
Angor looked at the flute in Froste's hand with fear. He already knew what the flute was. It must be the Dark Symphony that caused Roland's worst personality to appear. Angor still felt a lingering fear when he thought about the effect of the flute.
He couldn't imagine how terrible it would be to have another evil personality in one's mind.
As expected, Froste pointed at the flute and said, "This is the Dark Symphony. It's also a Mystery item that's half-out of control."
Froste used the Dark Movement as an example to briefly explain what "half out of control" meant.
The original meaning of "half-out" meant that the item was still under control under certain circumstances. This "special situation" meant that the Dark Movement only recognized Froste and no one else.
In other words, the Dark Symphony could only be controlled in Froste's hands. If Froste lost it or died, the item would go completely out of control.
"That's how it works. I'm the only one who can control it." Froste looked at the Dark Symphony as if he was looking at his lover.
"Basically, most Mystery items that have the effect of recognizing a master are half-out of control. However, half-out Mystery items must be recorded by the Order because they could go out of control in the near future and cause irreversible consequences. " Froste looked at Angor and said, "Now you know why I went to Goman King to see the Crimson Crown, right?"
The Crimson Crown had the effect of recognizing a master. However, the magic array engraved on it was called Bloodline Retrace, which meant that the item would recognize a master through blood.
Also, it was highly possible that the creator of the item created it himself, which had nothing to do with the Mystery item itself.
However, the item still had the effect of "recognizing a master". No wonder Froste went to Goman King just to see the crown.
Froste twirled the flute in his hand. "By the way, do you want to try the effect of the Dark Symphony?"
Angor quickly shook his head. "No."
Froste chuckled. "The effect of the Dark Symphony is to gather all the negative energy in your body and force the birth of the most evil personality. It's both good and bad for wizards. The evil personality will bring you great power, but you'll also lose control of your body.
"But don't forget, the Dark Symphony recognizes me as its master. As long as I give the order, even if the evil personality inside you is born, it will still be controlled by your main personality. This will give you a lot of power.
Think about Roland. When the evil personality controls your body, you'll become much stronger. Are you sure you don't want it? "
Angor remembered Roland telling him that the evil personality would only obey the orders of its master, which was Froste.
Back then, Froste gave the evil personality an order: "Obey Goman King's order and protect the Crimson Crown. Do not lose it."
If this order was changed to "obey the orders of the main personality", it would indeed give him a lot of power.
However, there was one thing to consider: the evil personality was controlled by Froste.
In other words, if Angor gave birth to an evil personality, he would be controlled by Froste. Angor was still wary of Froste, so he didn't dare to agree.
Froste saw Angor's expression and asked again, "You really don't want it? Actually, I saw a dark shadow inside your teacher's body. It seems to be an evil personality too. Even your teacher has it. Don't you want to give it a try? "
Froste was trying to persuade Angor, but Angor still refused firmly.
Froste didn't force Angor in the end. "Fine."
Still, Sunders' words made Angor feel a little confused, especially when he mentioned the shadow inside his teacher's body. This reminded Angor of what happened in Midnight Sovereign. That shadow had a very different tone, personality, and voice, but they looked very similar to each other.
Was "he" really Sunders' evil personality?
Froste didn't bother him while Angor was deep in thought.
When Angor came back to his senses, he saw Froste holding a cocktail glass in front of him.
Seeing Angor looking at him, Froste picked up the empty glass and filled it up with some transparent liquid.
It looked like ordinary water, but it emitted an alluring aroma. Angor felt as if the aroma was spreading from the depths of his mind space to every corner of his body.
He wanted to drink it.
This unprecedented thirst was about to overwhelm his rational mind.
Angor closed his eyes and kept telling himself. But Froste handed him the glass. "I prepared this for you. It'll be good for you at night."
Froste's teasing words made Angor even more uneasy.
Good for him at night? What? Could it be some kind of weird bar?
No way!
No way!
"It's delicious!" Angor suddenly exclaimed as he tried to resist the wine. When he came back to his senses, he noticed that the glass in his hand was empty. There was also a sweet taste in his mouth.
When did I drink it?
His mind was against his will, but his body couldn't help it!
Angor panicked. He quickly checked his body, fearing that something bad might happen to him.
"Don't worry," Froste suddenly said, "the water is used to complement the wind. It won't do you any harm. If you don't believe me, check it with Alchemy Eye. "
Angor hesitated and used Alchemy Eye to check the remaining water in the glass.
He could see the specific ingredients, and the unknown ones did not give him any negative feedback. So Froste's words were basically true, and there shouldn't be any major harm … The specific effects seemed to be similar to the effects of certain protective potions, and the effect of this cup of water was very short, only lasting for a day.
He checked the remaining water in the cup and checked his body condition. He felt no discomfort and relaxed a little.
Now that he thought about it, Froste had plenty of ways to kill him. He wouldn't use something as lowly as poison.
Still, Angor was a little worried. He had to wait for the day to pass and see what would happen.
Froste didn't mention the water again. He continued, "Alright, I'm half out of control now. Now, let's talk about the thing you care about the most, which is also my hunting target —"
"Out of control."
