"The essence of potions is the stimulation of external forces, which allows the soul to grow excessively, and then feedback the body and spirit. However, the raw materials for refining potions are not completely harmless, and humans' mastery of the soul is not as deep as they think. Therefore, many extraordinary people who have gained power through the potion system have lost their control over themselves and fall into madness and obsession. They either become wild beasts dominated by instinct and only know how to vent their desires, or they actively end their lives in pain and unwillingness, and even their corpses have become ashes."

Saint Charlie uses a metaphor to describe this phenomenon: "It's like climbing a mountain in a completely dark night, you can't see the road under your feet, you can only take steps based on your feelings, and every step is accompanied by fear of the unknown: is it safe or fallen? No one can tell it clearly when you don't have a foothold. So the pressure always lingers in your mind, and as your pace of climbing increases, the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the greater the pressure. In the end, those who cannot bear this pressure will lose their minds, give up, throw themselves into the dead darkness, and completely sink."

When Linger heard this, she couldn't help but express her truest thoughts: "It sounds like a road full of difficulties and dangers. Is there no way to stop this out of control?"

"Shen Tumi also had similar ideas and was always looking for solutions. In the end, what he proposed was a countermeasure called the 'acting method'."

"Playing the way?" Linger thought: "It sounds like the practice code of opera actors."

"It is indeed related to this. It is better to say that all the performance cultures of modern civilization, including stage plays, operas, dramas, dances, speeches, etc., originated from the acting method proposed by Saint Tumi." Saint Shariah casually spoke of historical secrets that could cause storms in the art world, but she didn't care and continued to tell: "The acting method requires the extraordinary to adjust their will to a state that is in line with the corresponding laws, and never do anything that violates the nature of the laws, nor to resist the changes it brings to herself, so as to effectively reduce the probability of losing control."

"But it's just a reduction?" Linger noticed keenly that her statement was not absolute.

"That's right, it's just a reduction, and it cannot be completely solved. Moreover, the acting law also brings another problem. For the extraordinary people of the order king, the acting law requires them to pursue beautiful things such as fairness, justice, knowledge, etc., but they often fall into paranoia or negative grime due to the huge gap between ideals and reality, and thus embark on the extreme path; for the extraordinary people of the chaos king, the acting law requires them to bring negative things such as disputes, deaths, and disasters. They are often disgusted and betrayed by the world, and are gradually controlled by primitive desires such as killing and destruction, and cannot extricate themselves."

"These two situations cause the probability of the extraordinary person to lose control remains at a higher number, and the higher the sequence level, the more active the spirituality is, the greater the probability of the uncontrolled. Sheng Tumi calls this phenomenon "erosion", believing that the process of the extraordinary person becoming stronger is the process of maintaining self and spiritual purity in constant acting and erosion."

"Unfortunately, no one can resist erosion. Therefore, the loss of control of the extraordinary is a destined ending, it is nothing more than a matter of time." Saint Charia repeated the words just now with a serious expression: "This is the reason why I don't want you to choose this path, Ringer. You are a rational person and should not want to see yourself losing control, and..."

And, I don't want to.

She paused, leaving this sentence in her heart without saying it.

"I don't have any idea about this."

Ringer replied.

He wanted to master the power of magic to help himself solve future troubles, not to turn himself into a big trouble.

St. Charlie seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but her exhalation was as relaxed and long as she breathed, so Linger couldn't hear any difference.

The bleating sound of a lamb suddenly came from beside him. He was satisfied with his food and finally recalled that he had a master. When he looked back, he found that the master was actually living alone with the stupid human. In order to prevent some situation from happening, it hurriedly ran over and blocked the two of them, shouting at Linger twice in protest, showing a loyal and protective look on his face.

Linger looked at it expressionlessly, and the silent staring looked very oppressive. The lamb immediately turned around, naturally moved his position, ran behind Saint Charliea in smoke, poked his head out, and still bleated at him, but the scene had changed from loyal protection of the Lord to bullying others with power.

"Don't make a fuss, lamb."

St. Charlie touched its head: "Linger and I have something to say, go and play with Alice and the others."

When the lamb heard this, he showed contemptuous eyes, and his bleating voice seemed to say: Alice, that childish ghost, I don’t want to play with her!

Alice's life was really disappointed by a sheep... It was wonderful.

Linge looked around silently and saw the plant orchestra playing hard on the temporary stage. The banquet gradually entered the cheeriest but noisiest stage. Even the boss's wife Xie Sita left the kitchen and was standing at the counter and chatting with the bartender. The two looked back at their youngest sister from time to time. There were both worries and some expectations in their eyes, but the latter still pulled Mettyn ​​and talked enthusiastically.

The rabbit gentlemen began to take over the sovereignty of the hall. Some chased each other under the table and chairs and played racing games; some jumped onto the dining table and swept the endless dishes; some held wine bottles and stabbed each other like experienced swordsmen... By the way, did the two rabbits have been duel since the banquet, and they have not decided until now.

Ovela, who was sitting by the windowsill, seemed to be tired of watching the rabbit fight, so she spread her book and placed it on her legs. While yawning, she flipped the soft and white paper sheets with her fingers and looked at it casually. Her shoulders drooped, her slightly narrowed eyes, and her small movements of reaching out to rub her eyes at times... all give people a feeling of being sleepy at any time.

Although she knew that this sleepy and lazy appearance was a habit developed during those long nights when she couldn't fall asleep, her performance still made Linge subconsciously think of some students who were drowsy in class but forced herself to listen to the teacher's lectures, trying to leave everyone with the impression of being diligent and studious, such as...

"You!" A head suddenly appeared from the side, his eyes moved back and forth on the faces of the two people with bright eyes, full of a strong desire for knowledge: "Why are you talking about, what!"

That's right, it's this guy.

Linge's face, which was already paralyzed, became even colder, and he didn't give this elusive maid any good look. St. Charlie didn't mind her sudden run over and disturbing her, and said to her in a gentle tone: "We are talking about magic. Linge wants to learn magic, Alice, do you want to learn magic too?"

"magic!?"

The golden-retriever maid's eyes became brighter: "I want me, how can I not bring me such a fun thing? Linger, you are too unfavorable, because I think I have a game console and a cassette and are jealous of me, so I excluded me? Oh, you can't do this. People, have a broad mind, have a long-term vision, and have a more open-minded attitude. People who are jealous of virtuous people usually have no good ending in the plot? Obviously, Alice is such a virtuous person..."

Finally, it became a criticism of Linger for some reason. The young man only used one sentence to make Alice shut up: "Shut up."

"oh."

Alice obviously could not violate the employer's orders, so she closed her mouth obediently, and at the same time, she made a zipper on her mouth in a funny way, indicating that I had sewn my mouth tightly. You can continue to say that I will never disturb you anymore. If I make any noise, I will only eat picky radish, fried gall, crying mushrooms, and everything except onions for the next month... As for the fact that she could convey such a complicated message with just her eyes, isn't it another talent?

In short, although there was one more listener (Meimei!)...uh, there were two more listeners, neither St. Charlie and Ringer were affected. They were still speaking seriously, while the other listened seriously.

"The third system is also the most common system for secular mortals to recognize mysterious power, namely magic, also known as modern magic. Because magicians who have mastered this system collectively call the bloodline system mastered by aliens and the potion system mastered by extraordinary people ancient magic, regarding it as a symbol of primitive backwardness, and believing that only modern magic can catch up with the pace of the times and become a force to change civilization."

"The person who proposed this view was also the pioneer of the modern magic system. He was respectfully called the 'Ancestor of Magic' by later magicians. His name was Merlin Ambroseus."

"Wait!?" He just swears that he will never disturb him--well, and he didn't swear. In short, Alice, who was as quiet as a chicken, couldn't help but shout when she heard the last sentence: "What did you just say that magic ancestor's name, Saint Charlie?"

The good-tempered shepherd girl tolerated the guy's unreasonable noise in class, just glanced at her, and then calmly repeated: "The ancestor of magic, Merlin Ambroseus."
