Chapter 178 - 178 178 Simultaneous Writing Skill and Faith Extraction Technique

Hearing that the items prepared were for him, Zhao Guang immediately became excited, especially since they were mage-related items.

Without further ado, Zhao Guang followed Ocoro to an abandoned cottage.

“It seems this isn’t the same place as last time,” Zhao Guang said confidently.

“Of course not, we have to change locations every time.

If we stayed at one place, it would soon be discovered by Yars, that fool.

Even though he’s useless, this is still his territory.”

You know this is someone else’s territory yet you still mess around daily.

Of course, Zhao Guang didn’t voice this; after all, wouldn’t that offend a friend?

“Here, these are all for you, and this time I’ve even got something really good for you—the Simultaneous Writing Skill.

If it wasn’t for your painkillers being so useful to them, this wouldn’t have been easy to get.”

“Simultaneous Writing Skill?

What is that, a spell?”

“It’s a trick, but this trick is quite powerful.

The Simultaneous Writing Skill is cast on two different pieces of paper, and whatever you write on one paper will also appear on the other, even simultaneously.

If the distance isn’t too great, this can completely serve as a communication method.”

“A communication method, that’s great!

How far can it reach?”

I’ve always wanted to get my hands on a similar spell, just never had one.

Initially, Xi Fei told me that this kind of spell is usually at least basic level magic, but I didn’t expect there to be a trick version.

“Not too far, usually just about one to two kilometers, which isn’t very effective on the battlefield.”

One to two kilometers is already pretty good, the distance from where I live to both sides of the Red Army Camp is enough.

From now on, I can simply use the Simultaneous Writing Skill to communicate; they can coordinate themselves, and I won’t be easily exposed.

Great, this is really fantastic.

If Ocoro knew what Zhao Guang planned to use it for, his expression would probably be different.

“You really are a good friend.

I have plenty of painkillers; I’ll give you more than I gave Yars,” Zhao Guang said as he quickly released all the remaining painkillers he brought, which were three times the amount previously given to Yars.

“Good, with these, I can exchange for more great items for you.”

“Oh, and there’s this.

Just take a look and use it as a reference, but definitely do not use it,” Ocoro said as he handed Zhao Guang a scroll, which had ‘Faith Extraction Technique’ written on it.

“What is this?

Why can’t it be used?”

Ocoro lowered his voice, “Because it’s a forbidden technique, a spell that has been passed down from ancient times that can extract the power of faith to refine and enhance one’s magic power, useful for any type of mage.”

“It sounds quite good; why is it a forbidden technique?”

“Of course it’s banned.

Think about it, all faith currently belongs to someone.

Whether it’s a righteous god or an evil god, divine entities value their faith greatly, how could they allow mages to steal it?”

“Once someone is discovered using the Faith Extraction Technique, no matter whose divine follower it is, they will be hunted down relentlessly.”

So that’s it.

To protect their gold mine by learning the Faith Extraction Technique, they would become thieves.

“Then why do you have this thing if it’s already banned?”

“It’s banned, yes, but mages and divine beings aren’t allies.

Officially, no one dares to cultivate it, but actually, everyone has a copy to enhance their own foundation.”

“Also, this spell isn’t very high-level, just basic level, so even if someone learns it, as long as they don’t use it, who’s to know?

I tell you, nearly all mages have learned it, it’s just that nobody talks about it.

This spell is often seen on the black market too.”

So it’s that kind of ban—just officially frowned upon.

This is just like saying kitchen knives are controlled, but they’re everywhere.

Of course, this truly shouldn’t be used, unlike kitchen knives.

But right now, Zhao Guang’s eyes lit up because he was different from others.

Here, all faith has an owner, but what about on Earth?

He had been worried about his slow magic cultivation, and following a pure path of spiritual power would slow his progress further.

But now, he was being handed an “exploit.”

The faith on Earth wouldn’t dissipate so quickly, would it?

No, when I return, I must study this thoroughly.

“I know, I won’t misuse it, you can count on me,” Zhao Guang reassured.

“Even if you use it, it’s fine; just make sure it’s not discovered by any divine followers, especially the deities.

This scroll has recorded which faith has an owner and also how to block others from sensing it.”

“What, people actually use it?”

“Absolutely, since it’s beneficial, why not use it?

Plus, statues of evil gods and such are occasionally passed around, and once sealed especially, the residual power of faith still remains on them—it would be a waste not to use it.”

Indeed, mages are just as boldly audacious as I had imagined.

As long as it’s not discovered, it’s within the rules.

If they weren’t so weak, the deities might even capture them for study.

“But you remember, these are the special techniques of major mage organizations, which ordinary people simply can’t access.

Until you have those special methods, don’t mess around; the ordinary methods recorded here aren’t much use.”

Zhao Guang nodded his understanding; these aren’t published because they are altruistic.

There’s only one reason: these methods are outdated.

Using them now is akin to seeking death.

Perhaps this too is bait, telling them these methods can’t be used, and if they want effective methods, go find them.

Magic cultivation is slow, but using this method accelerates the process.

It seems I need to collect more knowledge about the mystical aspects.

“And these, some magic books and notes from magic apprentices.

Although they might not all be useful, I thought you’d like them.” What followed was a large box full of books.

The number of books Ocoro had given him before wasn’t as many as these—indeed, the painkillers had been a big help.

Although most of them aren’t of high quality, who cares when I’m not that advanced yet.

With these items, it’s like having many teachers lecturing me.

“I really appreciate this.”

“There’s no need for that in our relationship, just prepare some more art materials for me,” Ocoro said nonchalantly, waving his hand.
