World Occult User Guide

After sending everyone away, Lin An sat in the abandoned captain's cabin, turning the philosopher's stone on his chest to reveal the small world inside.

The teenage version of the little man in the bottle has filled the corners of the gourd cup. His white hair is flowing, his appearance is exquisite, and he is infinitely close to a human being.

The panel appears, with green data showing the status.

The chicha wine that the hummingbird gave to Lin An actually contained nearly 13% of energy, making it easier to operate than before.

If there was originally a delay of a few tenths of a second and some subtle deviations, the villain is now completely synchronized with Lin An, just like another part of his body.

but……

He raised his wrist. Brother Lei Zi said that the "mark" of the smoke mirror had no side effects. It just left a long-range sight on Lin An like it did.

Sadly, my media collection in Detli is coming to an end. Lin An secretly thought that Hummingbird’s investment was indeed a bit too late.

Recalling the thrilling experience of just two hours, he processed the information he had received.

The real name of the Golden Kingdom family is [Thirteenth Heaven], which seems to be named after the ability of the statue-level mystic. Its members are divided into twelve levels. In addition to rating and combat power, the most important factor is the "Holy Spirit" Preferences.

If He approves of a person, He will "bless" him and enhance his status.

[Thirteen Heavens] includes the four native gods of Upper East Continent, the remaining gods of Inca mythology, the Guarani gods, gods suspected of being Maya, and mystics suspected of being in the Aztec pantheon.

Their power and talents are the most vast that Lin An has ever seen.

This kind of heritage can be glimpsed simply from the Rainforest Carnival, which is enough to be called a "noble family".

In front of the [Thirteenth Heaven], the St. Nilov Foundation was like a group of children playing house. After all, Lin An alone was so frightened that the Ditli City branch was so scared that the Ditli City branch was locked up. The branch didn't even dare to set foot in Michigan.

The official organization is so rubbish...

To be honest, Lin An was worried about the future of Eagle Country.

According to the four local gods, when "Comes" arrived, there should have been a statue-level mystic in the Eagle Kingdom - the Holy Spirit named "Wakataka".

If the officials were led by a statue-level mystic, let alone Lin An, many events might not have happened at all.

The colonists went on a killing spree. In just a few hundred years, the total population of the native people dropped by 97%. They also promoted "plastic shamans" to pollute the next generation's knowledge. In the end, even the four awakened native gods... Don't let it go.

The fundamental reason is the dispute between secular interests and ideology, Lin An still can't help thinking.

Jericho's notes record that as early as two hundred years ago, [Xi Yong] took root in the Upper East Continent and became an out-and-out local snake by relying on currency trading and usury.

So, did this group of shrewd businessmen secretly lead some historical events?

Are other aristocratic families in Xizhou involved...

What benefit would it bring to the group of organizations hiding behind the scenes to leave Eagle Country defenseless when "Comoth" arrives and make this place a "lawless place" for the mysterious people?

By the way, why is it the Eagle Country instead of the more remote Kangaroo Country and Kiwi Country in the southern hemisphere?

Although the Rainbow Serpent belief and Maori mythology have almost died out.

It's just that Lin An has never heard of any traces of the activities of aristocratic families or mystical organizations in those countries and surrounding areas, and it seems that they are basically being left alone.

Hope it's just my imagination. Lin An secretly thought that the truth of history was just the burning, killing and looting by a group of imperial colonists, and had no connection with "Comes".

The evening breeze blew over his cheeks, bringing a slight chill. Lin An exhaled, finished writing the information on [Thirteenth Heaven], and rested on his elbows.

When he woke up, there was an extra layer of blanket on his shoulders. Anna must have put it on him.

After thanking the shy little girl, Lin An saw that the witch was lying on the ground and fast asleep due to overwork, so he turned back to the captain's cabin and sat back on the chair.

Opening a thick ancient book, he continued to decipher the Romance language of Carolingian calligraphy until he read the last word of the ancient book.

The system prompts sound simultaneously.

"The entry "Encyclopedia of Magic V: Halfway to Divinity - Wanderers Ask the World" has been included. You have obtained the medium 'Seeker' x5, 'God of Truth' x4, 'Prophet' x3, 'Lord of Dreams' 'x1, 'God of Farming' x1, 'Dreamer' x1."

Divination, together with alchemy and magical powers, is known as the three major Hermetic philosophies. Basically all known nations have occult records related to divination.

Frequently asked questions include doubts about the future, unexplained causes of the past, guidance on action in critical situations, treatment of disease, religious worship, people, timing, weather, and more.

People use a variety of divination methods, including gazing at crystals, drawing lots, fortune-telling, taking hallucinogenic drugs, dreaming, contemplation, meditation, tarot cards and thangkas. Animals, weather, and stars are the focus of divination research and interpretation.

For example, the Druids used the trajectories of animals and the migration paths of birds to deduce omens of the future, and the Hittites observed the weather conditions after rituals to speculate on the wishes of the gods.

In other ancient civilizations, divination was a sacred function, often used to guide state affairs and war, and to predict natural disasters.

Chaldean and Babylonian priests had sophisticated systems of divination, claiming that they deliberately saw omens in the movements of nature around them; Egyptian priests slept in temples and received omens from the gods in their dreams.

Plato describes two Greek techniques of divination: intuitive or natural divination, and inductive or artificial divination.

He concluded that "madness is nobler, both in name and in fact, than reason, for the first comes from God, the other from man."

An example of the former is that early Greek seers would first put themselves into a hypnotic state and talk to the gods to receive oracles; the most famous oracle was located at Delphi, near the foot of Mount Parnassus.

Manual divination refers to Greek astrology, which was then inherited by Rome and further developed.

In the Dragon Kingdom, divination is also called metaphysics, and there are two schools.

One is the "Book of Changes" with Bagua as the basic symbol, which originated from the tortoise shell animal bone divination in ancient times; the other is the "Shu Shu" with the heavenly stems and earthly branches as the basic symbols, which originated from ancient astronomy.

The Book of Changes uses the eight trigrams as the calculation unit. According to the "Book of Rites of Zhou" records, there are three types: "Zhouyi", "Lianshan" and "Guizang". Unfortunately, the latter two have been lost. Representatives are the Xiangshuyi and the Plum Blossoms Yishu.

Shushu uses the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches as calculation units. It originated from ancient astronomy and intentionally or unintentionally imitated the ideological outlook of the Book of Changes. Under it are Da Liuren, Four Pillars and Eight Characters, Iron Shen Shu, Qizheng Siyu, Yanqin, and Selection. Many literary works in Japan.

More "divination techniques" span these two major schools, such as Liuyao, Taiyi, Qimen Dunjia, Feng Shui...

According to Plato, the metaphysics of the Dragon Kingdom are all "artificial divination" without divine intervention.

But in Southland, divination was entirely based on Plato's first concept.

Nanzhou people believe that so-called prophecy is the gift of the gods themselves that humans receive through dreams, subconsciousness or some kind of sign.

As early as the end of the second millennium BC, there were some divination hieroglyphics in Nanzhou.

To this day, places such as Uganda and Zaire firmly believe that the greatest prophecies come from the inspiration of God Adro and have nothing to do with human calculations.

Philosophy and divination are two fruits on the same tree. By understanding the mysticism of the world, Lin An can also discover the differences between ethnic groups and cultures in various regions.

It's a pity that "Encyclopedia of Magic" does not include the mysteries of the Dragon Kingdom. The fifth volume is also rated disaster B level. It is full of divination methods such as tarot cards, playing cards, pendulum crystals, etc. Most of them come from Gypsies.

No wonder he is called a wanderer...

"By the way, the system, can you trace the source of the entries "Liu Yao VI: Tuting Secret Book" and "Encyclopedia of Magic V"?"

"The traceability has been completed. With your witness, the rating of the entry "Encyclopedia of Magic V: Halfway to Divinity - Wanderers Asking the World" has been improved."

Lin An licked his lips as he looked at a bunch of "prophet" mystical arts that had been upgraded to the legendary level.

There is a way to counter the late intentions of those Biyangs.

Keeping the entry list of "Magic Encyclopedia V" in mind, he called up his own panel.

[Name]: Mysterious Encyclopedia

[Rating]: Source Grade B

[Radiation value]: 12%

[Pollution level]: 26%

[Medium]: Seekers of knowledge

[Inventory]: Seeker x10, God of Truth x6, Visionary x3, Seer x7, Judge x8, Nature Sacrifice x5, Mother of Desire x4, War Emperor x4, Lord of the Earth x16, God of Farming x15, Dreamer Main x5

After exploration during the ghost period, Lin An's data increased significantly, and his media inventory also expanded significantly.

Unfortunately, among the wild mystics, the "Lord of the Earth" and the "God of Farming" account for the vast majority.

These two media are also often dropped immediately when any entry is included, attracted by the actions of the Mystic himself.

Even if Lin An never took the initiative to collect them, their numbers were overwhelming.

The number of "knowledge seekers" is also scarce. Lin An basically relies on experimenting with new items to attract the medium, but when using the items, other mediums are more or less used, causing some mediums to make ends meet.

It was easy to maintain a balance between expenses and expenses, and the current panel is the best result of Lin An's calculations.

"System, the pollution value has exceeded a quarter, can you still hold on?"

"Time, changing clothes, the first appearance of everything."

"Brother Tongzi?!" Lin An was shocked.

"Just modifying the personalized signature. Don't worry, I'm fine." The system said humorously, "But add a little more..."

"how?"

"It will explode."

"..."

Lin An clenched his fists.

Damn it, I shouldn't have chatted with it, talking to oneself is a sign of going crazy!

How can the mere embodiment of the "Comes" medium be more funny than me?

"Okay, keep quiet." Lin An waved his hand, "Follow my orders and act."

"Always happy to help you."

After confirming the more abstract status of the system, Lin An narrowed his eyes.

Before heading to Doris' "lair", he had to do an experiment, since the witch hadn't woken up yet.

Lin An leaned over and opened the drawer in the captain's cabin, and took out a box with a smooth surface that looked ordinary. It was the disaster-level mysterious item [Haunted Box].

He stroked the box, the shadow of the Tarot cards emerged, and a strange atmosphere filled the air. (End of chapter)
