After reading the description of the "Voice of Oblivion", Angor felt that something was wrong.
"Make the user forget a certain person or object" was not a strong effect. It could be achieved by spells. For example, Angor could use nightmare illusion to invade someone's brain and achieve the same effect.
Even without using supernatural power, a simple physical impact could cause a short circuit in the brain and throw the memory box into the abyss of the mind, resulting in amnesia.
Therefore, the mirror was not useful in Angor's opinion. Angor did not understand why Cuolo recorded it and even made comments on it.
Could it be that Ku Luoli made the mirror himself, so he specifically recorded it?
Angor looked at the "Huppa Coefficient: 2" on the second row. What was this Huppa Coefficient? He never heard of it before.
Angor frowned as more questions popped up in his mind. He had a strange feeling.
"Maybe there'll be an answer later." Angor moved on to the next page.
On the second page, the drawing style was still very clean and bright. A few simple lines outlined a flying meteor.
However, it was not a real meteor. Instead, it looked like a fairytale-like meteor. It was a star in the shape of a pentagon. The lines around the star were sometimes long and sometimes short, which meant it was shining. Behind the star, there was an arc of light drawn with gold powder, which meant it was flying.
Angor's head was full of questions just by looking at the illustration. He had previously guessed that the illustration handbook was a tool refined by Ku Luoli himself, but now there was this fairytale-style meteor … Was it really refined by someone? What was the purpose of it?
Puzzled, he looked down at the introduction of the illustrated handbook.
[Name: Star of Hope]
[Huppa Coefficient: 36]
[Ownership: Unknown]
[Effect: Anyone who sees the Star of Hope should pray. Maybe your wish will come true … although the chance is slim.] [Huppa Coefficient]
This information confirmed Angor's guess. Judging from the effect, it seemed to involve the mysterious concept of fate, which was difficult to achieve in alchemy. Maybe someone really could do it, but Angor could not imagine it yet.
Also, if Cuolo really made it, it should not belong to anyone. Angor did not know who it belonged to.
He kept reading and saw Cuolo's note about the illustrated handbook.
[Note: In this world, there are many things that are predestined. You will try your best to fight for it, but in the end, you still won't get it. As for making a wish to the Star of Hope, as long as you worked hard, you would at least be able to change that predestined ending, allowing you to see a glimmer of hope … Yep, no matter how dim it was, there was still hope, right? Every three hundred years, the Star of Hope will appear. Seize the opportunity to pray to it. "
Angor was stunned for a long time after reading the note.
Putting aside the strange things mentioned in the remarks for the time being, and simply analyzing the state of mind when he wrote the remarks, it could be seen from the strokes that Cuolo was more like an absolutely calm recorder than a participant.
This once again proved that the items in the illustrated handbook were not made by Ku Luoli, but only recorded his existence.
After confirming this fact, he looked back at the remarks of the Star of Hope. It was still filled with the smell of fate.
Many things are predestined, and you have to accept it. But with the help of the Star of Hope, you can show a way to break free from the shackles of your predestined fate. As for whether you could grasp the hope, it depended on whether you could seize the opportunity.
It could be seen that the Star of Hope gave you a glimmer of hope, but it might not be so easy to get.
At first glance, Angor felt that the effect was still ordinary, but it was not something that could be done by alchemy. But after reading the note and thinking about it carefully, Angor had a new feeling.
The word "hope" meant uncertainty from the moment it was born. If it could be obtained so easily, it could not be called "hope" at all.
So, the effect of "break free from an absolute predicament and obtain a glimmer of hope" was actually not ordinary.
Also, the introduction of the Star of Hope did not mention the range of restrictions, which was very scary.
Everyone's wishes and predicaments were different, so when they met the Star of Hope, the cause and effect of their wishes would be different as well.
But the Star of Hope seemed to treat all wishes equally, tearing apart the absolute shackles and opening up a path of hope for different wishes.
The range of the threshold seemed to be limitless, as if there was no limit?
If that was true, then the effect was not ordinary, but unnatural!
Cuolo did not explain it clearly, but Angor could vaguely feel that the Star of Hope really could bring a glimmer of hope to all predicaments.
It was as if the creator of the Star of Hope — if there really was such a creator — did not consider the so-called threshold at all. Instead, the creator gave the Star of Hope the ability to ignore the laws when it was born.
Angor felt something familiar about this feeling.
Breaking free from the limits of laws and completely ignoring logic … Wasn't this a Mystery item?
"Could it be that this illustrated handbook is introducing the mysterious item?" As soon as the idea came to Angor's mind, it quickly took over the high ground of his mind and eliminated all his previous doubts. It shone brightly in his mind, showing its absolute existence.
"Yes, only a Mystery item can explain it!" Angor's eyes lit up. The strange feeling he had before was instantly dispelled when he used the word "Mystery" to explain it.
Now, he was sure that the illustrated handbook was meant to record Mystery items. But he still needed to find another proof.
Angor quickly turned to the next page.
The next page of the illustrated handbook was a very exquisite looking envelope. There were golden patterns on all four sides of the envelope, and even the seal was inlaid with a pure white feather golden ink paste.
Cuolo had probably used a lot of gold powder when he drew it. Even if it was just a flat illustration, it still looked shiny and golden.
[Name: Time Postcard]
[Huppa Coefficient: 24]
[Affiliation: Order Guild]
[Effect: A postcard sent to someone at a certain time in the future. The postcard can carry one of your abilities for a short period of time. ]
[Note: This is a gift from the past. But do you really think that someone in the future who can't see through time is worthy of your gift? Of course, if you're sending it to your future self, just pretend I didn't say anything. ]
After reading the description of the Time Postcard, Angor did not think about whether the effect was reasonable or not. There was no need to.
He focused all his attention on the owner of the Time Postcard.
Order Guild!
Others might not know what kind of organization this was, but Angor already knew about it from Froste.
It was a super powerful organization in the origin world. The main job of Order Guild was to retrieve Mystery items that went out of control and prevent them from causing more disasters.
From a certain point of view, the Order Faction was where most of the mysterious items belonged to!
A Mystery Hunter who could retrieve an out-of-control Mystery item must have a Mystery item on him or her.
For the Time Postcard to be collected by the Order Guild, combined with its illogical effects, one could basically confirm that it was a mysterious item.
Angor's guess was correct. The booklet was indeed used to record Mystery items.
But Angor was still confused. Froste once told him that Mystery items were very private and would not be shown to outsiders. How did Cuolo know so many Mystery items? And why did he draw them for research?
Angor remembered that Rein used a time crack to find a hidden room in the laboratory in the third underground level. Angor sensed a Mystery item back then.
Combined with this message, it seemed that Cuolo was studying Mystery items. Or was he just a Mystery alchemist?
Angor considered and decided to put this question aside for now. Maybe he could find the answer from Cuolo's Chronicles. He could put it aside for now.
Angor turned the booklet back to the first page.
After confirming the booklet's content, Angor believed that the "Voice of Oblivion" on the first page was also a Mystery item.
Angor was a little curious. Why did the Mystery item look so weak?
Angor reread the description of the "Voice of Oblivion" and noticed two things.
First, the Huppah Coefficient. The last two Mystery items both had Huppah Coefficients of two digits, while the "Voice of Oblivion" only had a Huppah Coefficient of "2".
Lady Isabelle once told him that there was a way to measure the level of Mystery items in the origin world.
Was this the Huppah Coefficient?
The higher the Huppah Coefficient, the more powerful the item was? Because the "Voice of Oblivion" only had a Huppah Coefficient of "2", its effect was not as good as expected.
From a realistic point of view, this guess had a very high probability of being correct. But he still found it strange. Could the strength of a Mystery item really determine the level of a Mystery item?
Alchemists usually measured the strength of an alchemy item based on its energy level. Damage level, defense level, and the energy contained in the item itself all had clear differences.
But Mystery items were different. Mystery power was difficult to be classified based on energy levels.
In that case, regardless of energy level, it was not fair to categorize Mystery Items based on their destructive power. This was because many Mystery Items did not have destructive power, but they still had very powerful effects.
There was another reason why Angor felt something was wrong. It was because of his own experience.
Angor had a Mystery item: the Dream Whelk of the Moonlight Coast.
Angor's first impression of the whelk was that it was weak. After years of publicity, magazines finally reached this impression, which even influenced the perception of the whole wizarding world.
But was the whelk really that weak? Definitely not. After Angor created the dream wasteland, the Dream Whelk became a strategic item that could influence and start a new era.
After witnessing how the whelk turned the world upside down, Angor came to a conclusion. It was difficult to determine the strength of a Mystery item. As long as one used the right method, even the most obscure Mystery item could shine brightly.
Because of this, when Angor thought that the Huppah Coefficient was a way to determine the strength of a Mystery item, he did not feel right.
This feeling led him to another discovery about the "Voice of Oblivion".
Secondly, the "Origin".
The effect of the "Voice of Oblivion" was: "Repeat a name in front of this item, and you will completely forget everything about it. It also works on other items. "
Maybe the "origin" of the effect was different from "memory erasing". So this was the real ability of a Mystery item?
He wasn't sure if his discovery was useful or not. Maybe he was being too picky with his choice of words. But when he read the words "completely forget everything about the target", he felt a chilling killing intent coming at him.
He did not know which of the two findings was correct.
Perhaps he could only make a decision after learning the truth about the Huppah Coefficient.
Angor glanced at the thick pile of books on his desk. Would there be something about the Huppah Coefficient in there?
"Hey, someone's calling for my real body." Tree Spirit's voice came while Angor was lost in his thoughts.
Angor looked up and saw Tree Spirit grumbling, "I was just reading about how Belos used the guild's power to suppress his new followers. But I was interrupted."
Although Tree Spirit was reluctant, he still closed his eyes and focused his thoughts on his real body.
Several seconds later, Tree Spirit looked up and said, "It's Rein. He's out of his training."
"Mister Rein is here? Should we go get him now? "
Tree Spirit quickly waved a hand. "He'll come on his own. Let's wait until he's here. I'll finish reading this first."
With that, Tree Spirit quickly picked up the notebook in his hand and read it quickly with a fascinated look on his face. It was more like he was reading the ups and downs of the story.
"It's also from the real world. Sometimes it's not as interesting as it really is. Maybe Cuolo's experience is even more interesting than this. "
With that in mind, Angor picked up the illustrated handbook again and continued reading.
This time, he did not ask for more details. Instead, he quickly browsed through the different information in the handbooks.
The more he read, the more amazed he became.
Mystery items had all kinds of abilities. Most of them had physical objects, but there were some that did not.
For example, there was a Mystery item called "Lonely Clown's Heartbeat". Its effect was that anyone who heard the heartbeat would dance along with it.
Cuolo drew a heart in the handbook, but the following remarks clearly stated that the heart was not a Mystery item. The heartbeat was the core of the so-called Mystery item.
As long as one matched the heartbeat, one would become a container for the Mystery item.
It was worth mentioning that the Mystery item's effect did not seem obvious, but its Huppah Coefficient was as high as 61!
