There was no doubt that the fire came from the booklet. However, the booklet couldn't be activated on its own without outside help.
It was Glepnir who activated the booklet.
While both Angor and Laplace were lost in their own thoughts, Glepnir noticed that no one was paying attention to the booklet, so he walked closer to take a closer look.
Glepnir couldn't tell anything from the cover.
The cover was pure black, while the words were gilded. Apart from the words "Book of Wishes", there were no other signs.
Gleipnir sensed everything and used astrology to confirm that there was no danger in the booklet. Flipping the pages would not be a problem. Then, he reached out his cane and opened the book of wishes.
Just as the book of wishes was flipped open, a pale blue will-o '-the-wisp sprang out.
This was how the ghost fire was activated.
Both Angor and Laplace snapped out of their thoughts and focused on the book.
To be precise, the first page of the book was the one Glepnir was looking at.
There were some words on the first page, but Angor still couldn't understand them. However, he recognized the illustration on the bottom half of the page.
This was because the illustration depicted light blue will-o '-the-wisps.
In the illustration, the will-o '-the-wisps floated in the air like sky lanterns. They were densely packed together, and together with the strange facial features on the will-o' -the-wisps, it was rather frightening.
Angor paid attention to the illustration not only because of the ghost fire, but also because of another important reason.
The illustration was colored. Red, green, and blue will-o '-the-wisps were very eye-catching in the dark blue night sky of dusk.
But the most eye-catching one was a pure white ghost fire.
This white will-o '-the-wisp was not drawn on purpose. It was more like a drawing of will-o' -the-wisp, but it had not been filled in with color.
Angor could feel that the drawing had something to do with the pale blue ghost fire in the sky. It was as if the drawing contained the pale blue ghost fire all along.
So the ghost fire was hidden inside the drawing? When the ghost fire came out, the drawing turned into a drawing?
As Angor pondered, he heard Laplace's voice. "I see."
Angor looked at Laplace in confusion.
Laplace didn't say anything. Instead, he walked to the blue ghost fire and flicked it with a finger.
The ghost fire collapsed from the air as if it was hit by a great force. The ghost face became even scarier. However, it couldn't escape the fate of being destroyed.
As the pale blue will-o '-the-wisp dissipated, a strange energy escaped from the will-o' -the-wisp. Finally, it returned to the illustration on the first page of the book of wishes.
The ghost fire returned to the drawing and was dyed a pale blue again.
The illustration was completed. There were no more blank spaces.
Seeing this, Angor was sure that he was right. The will-o '-the-wisp came from the illustration.
As for that strange energy, he sensed something similar inside the gemstone teapot before. It was telekinesis, no doubt.
"So, this is the will-o '-the-wisp that was summoned from the illustration through telekinesis? Is this booklet something similar to a magic scroll? "Angor asked in a low voice.
Laplace shook his head. "No, it's different. Actually, I've mentioned this before. "
Did Laplace mention it before? Angor looked at Laplace and saw a strange expression on her face. Earlier, when they found the booklet, Laplace had the same expression on her face, which was quite strange.
Angor considered and narrowed his eyes. "Is this … the strange object you mentioned before?"
Laplace nodded.
"Yes. It is a strange object."
Angor was surprised as well. He remembered Laplace mentioning "strange objects" when she mentioned the Realm of Telekinesis. In Laplace's opinion, strange objects were the most interesting things about the Realm of Telekinesis.
Angor thought the gemstone teapot was a strange object, but it turned out that it wasn't. Who would have thought that after going around in circles for a short while, a truly miraculous item would appear before them.
"A strange object is a materialization ability. So this booklet was created by a Psychic?" Angor wondered.
Laplace nodded. "Yes. The first page contains the general information about the Psychic, as well as the rules he set for the book."
Without hiding anything, Laplace began to explain the information on the first page one by one.
The Psychic did not record his real name on the book. He only called himself the Astral Attendant, the most loyal servant of the great "Wishing Star".
Next was a prayer to the "Wishing Star", hoping that the Wishing Star would grant the book unlimited potential.
Next was how the Astral Attendant set the rules for the book.
The so-called rules were used to balance and restrict the creation of strange objects by a Psychic.
The Psychic would grant special abilities to the strange objects. However, it was impossible to do so directly. The Psychic had to set up the appropriate conditions.
The simpler and harsher the conditions were, the higher the success rate of creating strange objects.
However, the harsher the conditions were, the harder it would be to use the strange object. The simpler the ability, the weaker the power of the object.
Therefore, it was a test of the Psychic's choice.
Of course, it also depended on talent. The more talented a Psychic was, the more things they could "take" from the creation of strange objects, and the fewer things they had to "give up".
Also, the higher the level of the Psychic, the Psychic would also gain some kind of bonus in the creation of strange objects.
Generally speaking, every star level could create a strange object, including 0 stars. In other words, a three-star concrete-type psyche master could concretize four mystical objects.
Any more and it would be difficult to control.
Other than that, there were also some hidden rules. For example, the higher the star level, the more powerful the strange object would be. However, in general, its compatibility would not be as high as that of a low-star level. There were many types of strange objects. The more idealistic it was, the harder it was to create, but the more idealistic it was, the stronger it was. Other than the idealistic strange objects, the construction rules for other physical strange objects would definitely be hidden in the strange objects. This was also why the construction rules were written on the first page of the book … and so on.
From this, it could be seen that in the world of Psychic, the concrete type was a very complete system. It required the cooperation of objective laws, but also the restraint of subjective energy.
The power of checks and balances was the essence of strange objects.
This book also had a corresponding power of checks and balances, which were the rules.
[Book of Wishes: By making a wish in writing, you can obtain different abilities. "
"Main rules: 1. Only one wish can be made on each page. 2. Every time you make a wish, you must describe the complete ability, the more detailed the better. 3. Only one ability can be used at a time. When using the ability, you need to turn to the corresponding page. 4. The more complex the ability, the more the release rules need to be drawn up separately on the page. 5. Abilities that need to be drawn up separately can only be used by the Star Guardian himself. "
"First page, Deceiving Ghost Fire: Release a ghost fire that can only be used to scare people. It has a weak burning ability. There is no limit to its use. It can be used with psychic power. (This page does not need to draw up a separate rule, just follow the main rules.) "
"Second page, Sorry Man-Eating Flower: Release a man-eating flower to attack. Can summon a maximum of ten man-eating flowers per day. (Restriction: 1. Every time before launching an attack, it will say 'sorry'. 2. Can summon a maximum of two man-eating flowers at a time. If you say sorry to one man-eating flower, you don't have to say sorry to the other one.) "
"Third page, Forgiveness Holy Water: Create a bottle of holy water to assist in meditation. Can create a maximum of three bottles per day. (Restriction rules: The right to create holy water can only be obtained when you are sincerely forgiven or forgiven by others.) "
"Fourth page, Ominous Earth Thorn: Release a powerful earth thorn. There is no limit to its use. It can be used with psychic power. (Restriction rules: There is a 10% -80% chance of creating a small earth thorn under yourself. The more powerful the earth thorn released, the higher the chance of small earth thorns appearing.) "
"Fifth page, Ten Minutes of Golden Touch …"
"Sixth page, Can't Go Back Through the Wall …"
"…"
As Laplace turned the pages one by one, various abilities were displayed in front of everyone through the pages of the book. However, the use of these abilities would have some very strange restrictions set.
The stronger the ability, the greater the restrictions.
But to what extent the restrictions were, they did not know. After all, all the abilities of this wishing book needed to be activated with psychic power.
Originally, there was still a lot of psychic power left in the wishing book, but it was almost washed away by the waves. The remaining psychic power also disappeared because the first page was opened and the ghost fire was summoned.
Other types of energy could not activate the book. Also, only the Astral Guardians could use the ability to create a specific rule. Therefore, they could only look at the book's abilities but could not use them.
However, they did not mind it too much. After all, although the abilities in this book of wishes seemed wonderful, in general … the effects weren't very good.
…
"Although the abilities in the Book of Wishes don't seem very impressive, the potential of this Book of Wishes is not bad." Laplace commented faintly before flipping to the first page of the Book of Wishes.
Her gaze landed on the first page, where the Astral Attendant had written the most: "Wishing Star."
"What's wrong?" Gleipnir noticed Laplace's gaze.
Laplace thought for a moment and said, "I think I've heard about the Wishing Star before."
"There are similar legends in many civilizations. Even the wizarding world has legends about the Wishing Star. The Wishing Star you've heard of might not be the same as the one in the Telekinesis Realm. "
Laplace considered. "I don't think the Wishing Star is a living creature."
"If it's not a living creature, then Angor is right."
The Star-Attendant claimed to be the servant of the great 'Wishing Star'. Judging from this sentence, the 'Wishing Star' was clearly a living being, and not a Wishing Star in concept.
As for what kind of creature it was? It could be the codename of someone important in the Telekinesis Realm, or the name of some evil god.
"Evil god" was because the people of Haunt World did not believe in true gods. They only believed in the power of telekinesis. If there was a belief in some kind of god, it was either a pretense or a foreign god. It was even possible that a powerful Magus was behind all this.
If the "Wishing Star" was the name of a god, then it was definitely an evil god.
Still, he believed that the "Wishing Star" was a high-leveled Psychic.
The people of Haunt World had many different naming rules. It all depended on the culture of each place. However, no matter what the Haunt World's people's real names were, once they became Psychics, they would have a codename. This was to make it easier for the Psychic Association of different countries to communicate with each other.
For example, "Granny Shikaku", "Raven Man", and so on were all codenames.
There were all kinds of strange codenames, which included both regional and cultural features. It was possible that a "Wishing Star" was one of them.
Normally, the codenames of powerful people would refer to their abilities. If a "Wishing Star" was a codename, then the Psychic's ability might be … wishing?
"I can't be sure what the Wishing Star is for the time being. However, I can see some clues about this' Star Attendant 'from this wishing book," Glepnir said softly.
As Laplace said, the "Wishing Book" had a lot of potential.
The ability recorded in the book was nothing special, but according to the main law, the upper limit of this ability was extremely high. Of course, the higher the power, the more restrictions there would be. However, this was very common among mystical items, so it was not a big deal. The Book of Wishes could unlock more powerful abilities from low to high. This was the key, and also the reason why it had such high potential.
To be able to create a Wondrous item with such potential, it could be seen that the Astral Guardian's potential was definitely not low.
However, potential was potential. It was another matter if the potential could not be used.
This Wishing Book had only recorded fifteen pages, and it had not yet unlocked a powerful ability. This also meant that the strength of the Astral Guardian was not strong. It was definitely not a high-star Psychic.
Looking at the ability on the first page of this Wishing Book: Deceive Will-O '-the-wisp.
This ability was almost non-existent. Will-O '-the-wisp, which had no lethality, was at most used to deceive the audience in the circus. Any Psychic with a little bit of ambition would not record such an ability.
Judging from this ability, it was certain that this Wondrous item should be the first Wondrous item of the Astral Guardian.
It was an introductory work.
Combined with other abilities similar to Midas Touch, Wall Passing, and so on, as well as various information, it could be inferred that the Astral Guardian was not rich, weak, and a little clever. It did not have a strong background, and it preferred to deceive people from the side rather than fighting them head-on. The only thing that could be said was that it was a Psychic with potential. Its strength should be a one-star Psychic.
And the most important thing was that this Astral Guardian … should be the young man in the pot they had discovered before.
The previous inference belonged to profiling, and the last conclusion was discovered by Gleipnir through astrology.
According to Gleipnir, the residual Psychic aura on this Wishing Book was exactly the same as the Psychic information left in the body of the young man in the pot.
There was a high probability that this young man in the pot was the Astral Guardian.
Of course, it was impossible to give a clear answer at the moment. After all, astrology was only a kind of grasp in the dark and could not be used as evidence.
However, it was not difficult to come to a conclusion.
There was a rule in the Wishing Book: "The ability to formulate rules separately can only be used by the Astral Guardian himself. "
Whether the young man in the pot was the Astral Guardian or not, they would know when they had the opportunity in the future to let him use this Wishing Book. If he could use the ability after the second page, then he would undoubtedly be the Astral Guardian!
