It wasn't a perfect start, but it helped him gain a basic understanding of Narda's Vision.
Both the identification mechanism and the uniqueness of the algorithm were completely different from what Angor expected from the cantrip. He originally thought that the results of the appraisal would be unique, but he didn't expect that there would be different branches in the appraisal.
Perhaps it was because his knowledge was too limited, which led to too many variables in the final result.
Angor put away Prelude to Rebirth with a regretful look.
He planned to use Narda's Vision to identify the function of the white bullet, but he didn't expect to get such a result. The five different sets of data might not give him the correct answer in the end.
To truly understand the function of the white bullet, Angor needed to conduct further experiments.
However, he had to keep at least one undead specimen in captivity. In other words, Angor had two prerequisites for this experiment. First, he needed to capture undead creatures, and second, he needed to find a place to trap them.
It wasn't difficult to find a place to trap undead creatures. The Church of the Deceased he created last time could be used to trap undead creatures. However, capturing the undead was a difficult task. It was extremely easy for him to use Prelude to the Undead to eliminate the undead, but capturing them was equivalent to saying that he couldn't use Prelude to the Undead, which was very difficult.
Angor wouldn't be defeated by an undead creature in a one-on-one fight, but it wasn't easy to defeat an undead creature either.
Apart from creating a place to trap undead creatures, he also needed to create a weapon that could restrain them without killing them. Angor pinched his forehead in frustration. He decided to put this matter aside for now. For now, he needed to get familiar with Narda's Vision.
He put away Prelude to Rebirth and continued to build the "server" in his mind space.
Since the first one worked, the second one went without a hitch. It still took a long time, but at least it worked in the end.
This time, Angor asked the "server" to do some calculations. Instead of choosing "hell" items, it began to identify individual items.
For example, ordinary items.
Angor noticed that the "server" didn't require much computing power when identifying ordinary items. Even after identifying a dozen items at once, the cantrip model didn't break down.
However, he also found something interesting while inspecting the items.
For example, an ordinary item would only be appraised based on its material. However, if an ordinary item was a work of art that even Angor himself was amazed by, the appraisal would show some artistic appreciation.
However, this kind of art appreciation was still limited by his knowledge. There were some common objects that even Angor's art appreciation skills could not give him a satisfactory result.
He didn't think he would fail at appraising ordinary items.
This was why Angor was a little nervous when he began to appraise the item.
Luckily, Angor had already appraised several alchemy creations, and all of them gave correct results almost instantly. Angor did not know whether to sigh in relief or to sigh in disappointment.
After appraising ten low-tier alchemy products in a row, when he finished appraising David's Tang sword, the cantrip model in his mind space finally showed signs of collapsing.
Angor did a quick calculation and found that the "server" could appraise more than 30 ordinary items and 11 low-tier alchemy products at once.
He didn't know how good this was. He considered for a moment and took out two alchemy manuals from his bracelet.
One was Prome's Alchemy Handbook, and the other was Mithra's.
Angor flipped through the manuals and found some records about how they learned Narda's Vision. Prome only managed to identify 17 ordinary items before the cantrip model collapsed. Mithra, on the other hand, identified 50 ordinary items, seven low-tier alchemy products, and one tiered alchemy product.
In terms of numbers, Angor was better than Prome, but he was still far behind Mithra.
Mithra also created a cantrip model for Narda's Vision for the first time, yet he was already so powerful … Angor couldn't help but admire Prome's talent. As expected of the alchemist in Floating Mech City, Mithra was already much stronger than ordinary alchemists.
However, this was only a horizontal comparison. In terms of depth, Angor might not be better than Prome.
If Angor remembered correctly, Prome already listed Narda's Vision as one of his cantrips. When the time came for the appraisal, as long as there was magic, the server would keep running and would never dissipate.
Angor spent the next few days immersing himself in Narda's Vision.
His daily routine was simple. Either he appraised items, meditated, or improved his knowledge. Such a life of three jobs and one line might seem boring, but Angor's daily gains were measured by the number of points he gained every day. He could see his own growth, which made him feel satisfied.
During this time, Angor not only finished experimenting with all 27 alignments, but he also found the one that was most suitable for his mind space. This allowed him to construct the cantrip model in the most comfortable and efficient manner.
Currently, he only needed one and a half minutes to construct a cantrip model. It was still slow, but with the help of the Axes of the Universe, he never made any mistakes. His success rate was now 100%. If it were any other alchemist, the failure rate of constructing such a huge and complicated cantrip model would be more than 50%.
Although the success rate of constructing the cantrip model was 100%, there was still a large margin of error when appraising items.
After several days of experimentation, Angor learned that if there were materials he didn't recognize, materials he didn't know, or alchemy reactions he didn't understand, the final result would be the same as when he appraised Prelude to Rebirth, where multiple sets of data would appear.
When multiple sets of data appeared, Angor would have to figure them out himself. Then, he would have to extract the key information that overlapped with each other to determine if it was true or false.
Now, Angor truly understood Narda's Vision. To some extent, Narda's Vision tested not only one's knowledge but also one's wisdom and judgment.
No wonder Narda's Vision was a cantrip that alchemists would never abandon. It would accompany them for the rest of their lives.
Narda's Vision wasn't just a cantrip. It was also a test of one's self-knowledge.
When Narda's Vision was appraising other items, it was also appraising itself.
…
The middle of Month of Flowing Fire.
The clock on the wall showed ten o 'clock in the morning.
It was a fine day with no clouds or rain. Sunlight shone through the leaves into Angor's bedroom and sprinkled some mottled pieces of gilded paper on his desk.
He sat in front of his desk and enjoyed a sip of milk while basking in the sun. The milk was delivered by Butler Goode. Angor didn't ask for a proper meal, but Goode would send him desserts and milk almost every day.
While tasting the bitter taste of milk in his mouth, Angor happily took out a diamond-shaped crystal from his bracelet.
It was the crystal given to him by Spotty.
Since he was in such a good mood, Angor decided to appraise it for the first time today.
He took a deep breath.
He closed his eyes and cleared his mind. Then, he put away his lazy expression and began to construct the cantrip model of Narda's Vision with a serious look.
A moment later, Angor opened his eyes. His blue irises were shining in a strange way.
In his vision, lines of data began to appear on the surface of the crystal.
Angor frowned at the first glance. There were a lot of question marks in the data. Even the material composition of the rhombus-shaped crystal had several question marks.
Based on his recent experience, Angor knew what those question marks meant — variables.
Once there were variables, the final result would be "multiple sets of data". If there were too many variables, there might not even be any data in the end.
If there were "multiple sets of data", Angor could still use the method of "extracting community and finding common divisor" to get a rough idea of the result. Just like Prelude to Rebirth, he only succeeded half of it … or rather, he failed half of it.
However, if there were no data at all, it meant that the appraisal was a failure. He had to keep accumulating knowledge.
Looking at the rows of question marks and variables, Angor wondered if Narda's Vision could really work.
He frowned and waited for the final result.
When the result came out, Angor suddenly felt a little dizzy. Narda's Vision's computing platform was still the brain. However, most of the computing power came from the server, while the brain only did a small part of the calculation.
Angor's brain felt uncomfortable from the result, which meant the calculation was overclocked.
After calming down a little, Angor checked the result in his mind.
Angor thought there would be too many variables and no data would appear. But to his surprise, the data came out in the end.
However, there were six sets of data, and Angor noticed that they were all different from each other.
Those differences might give him the correct answer, but just in case, Angor set them as "not acceptable" for now. He directly extracted the same parts of the six sets of data because they were all correct.
He took a closer look at the same data, and his pupils shrank when he saw what he saw.
It was actually like this?!
