This question was quite crucial. Tang was not yet an Ancient Scholar, and currently, only the theater core could create Yesterday Once More charms.
With a limited amount of spirit worms, the number of attempts that could be made was also limited.
Unless he could quickly advance to Sequence Four Trick Sorcerer and then autonomously split spirit worms for the theater to make charms.
Sure enough, he still had to go to the Secret Order and capture a few Trick Sorcerers.
Tang opened the System interface and glanced at it.
'Task status updated.'
'Task: [The Acting of a Master of Marionettes]'
'Having advanced to 'Master of Marionettes,' you have summarized certain acting principles. Please follow the acting principles and gradually improve the content of the acting method to increase the digestion of the potion.'
'Task Completion: 27%.'
Without high-intensity acting, relying on regular acting was indeed lacking.
He knew that Klein had digested the Master of Marionettes potion in three months... but what was he comparing himself to this Lord of Mysteries reserve?
"Spirit worms possess a portion of the spirit body's power," the War Bishop answered Tang's previous question. "If you mean making some Trick Sorcerers and Ancient Scholars into marionettes, then, yes."
After being made into marionettes, one could naturally control the Extraordinary individuals' spirit bodies and have them split off spirit worms.
But if it absorbed these Extraordinary characteristics and then split off new spirit worms, that wouldn't work.
After all, Sealed Artifacts had no spirit bodies. The 'living' characteristic was merely the activation of the Extraordinary characteristic caused by the spirit remaining within the Extraordinary characteristic.
It itself didn't possess a spirit body, so it naturally couldn't split off new spirit worms again. Eating Extraordinary characteristics would only enhance the 'activated' characteristic, not give birth to a spirit body.
"However, if you mean tearing off the spirit bodies of Trick Sorcerers or Ancient Scholars little by little before making them into marionettes to turn them into spirit worms, that's also not a problem."
Both could provide a limited amount of spirit worms, and both were sustainable.
Cutting them open bit by bit, and then watching them grow back bit by bit, and then cutting them again, and growing them back again. If they could recite "miracle" a few more times while screaming and howling, it would be quite willing to listen.
The War Bishop smiled. He was half-hidden in the shadows, and that smile had an indescribable sense of malevolence.
Tearing off the spirit body little by little while they were alive?
Tearing off the spirit body, and then watching them grow back little by little, and then tearing them off again, and growing them back again?
Tang gave an awkward but polite smile, then rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and turned to leave.
He almost forgot that this thing wasn't a good thing either.
Trick Sorcerers, may you all seek your own good fortune.
In the inner world, in an empty classroom.
The Abrahams, who had toured the surface and inner campuses and only had the innermost Crimson Campus left to visit, were actively discussing something.
They were merely marveling at the things they had seen and heard, and the vision that transcended the era was enough for them to digest for a long time.
"Olson, are you really not planning to return to the family?"
Yagonia Abraham, a seemingly quiet female Extraordinary, asked Olson, "You are the heir most favored by the elders. I'm sure that if you had stayed in the family, in five years, no, three years, you might have been able to independently manage a powerful Sealed Artifact within the family."
"Elder Holloway even wanted to pass his position on to you. If you had stayed in the family, your development would definitely have been much better than here."
"Just a small noble..." someone muttered softly to the side, "I really don't know what stroke of luck he had."
A lean camel was still bigger than a horse. The Abraham family was ultimately an angel family, and its heritage and history filled every Abraham with heartfelt pride.
Olson was equally clear about this.
But alas...
A small Ruen noble? You continue to say that to the groups of marionettes here, to the powerful Extraordinary behind his friend, possibly even an earthly angel.
The other party could probably slap you from the Northern Continent to the Southern Continent.
Olson didn't explain everything clearly to these Abrahams. Some things were enough for him and the elders to know.
High-sequence Extraordinary individuals might not be common, but for the Abrahams, even if their family's demigods had long been dead, the various Extraordinary items and knowledge of charms they had left behind made the family members not unfamiliar with demigods.
Familiarity bred a lack of awe. Keeping these Abrahams here was probably the elders' intention, to prevent them from being forever bound by the past glory of the family and being unable to see their own worth.
The Abraham family was bound to perish.
And the fools who couldn't see this wouldn't be wronged at all if they were hung up as marionettes.
Olson shook his head with a strange expression, saying only, "You should have felt it too, the full moon's whispers cannot affect this place."
Just this one thing was enough for the Abraham travelers and recorders to flock here.
With this "0"-level Sealed Artifact, the Abrahams couldn't easily betray them.
If they wanted to kill and seize treasures, they had to see if their lives were harder or the marionettes' lives here were harder.
"Looks like everyone's here?"
Just then, Tang walked through the doorway and opened the door to enter.
"Everyone, how was your tour these past few days?" Tang's smile was very gentle. As a Faceless, he had always been able to properly manage his body language and demeanor, making it impossible for others to see any emotions in his heart from the surface.
"Very good."
Olson was the first to stand up, and the surrounding Abrahams gave similar responses.
"That's good." Tang's smile deepened a bit. "I've been busy with some things these past few days. Please bear with me if there have been any oversights."
It was a rather polite remark, but Olson subconsciously frowned, then looked at Tang, only to see Tang looking back at him.
Ah, this...
What bad things was this kid brewing with that smile again?
Olson felt a chill.
He remembered what his friend had done before. An Extraordinary individual who was traveling with them wanted to attack them and offer them to an evil god, but he was schemed against by the other party and fell into, well, something indescribable.
Tang, high above, said, "How about I take you to see the God of Olige?" while holding a stick and poking the other party's sinking and floating head into that indescribable thing... Okay, he was starting to feel a bit nauseous.
Although he didn't know what kind of deity the God of Olige was, the premonition his spirituality gave him was that it was better not to know.
So, what did Tang want to do this time?
The other Abrahams didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all. Although some looked down on this Extraordinary individual from a small family in their hearts, they still maintained a certain level of decency on the surface.
After all, decency mattered too.
