Chapter 41: The Guide
At night in Igwynte, in an apartment building beside Nanyang Road, Dorothy carefully opened the envelope that she had bought for 100 pounds, pulled out more than ten pages of paper, and found that these ten pages of paper seemed to be torn directly from a book.
"You're just tearing the book up for me..."
Dorothy thought so as she looked at the pages in front of her, and then she began to read carefully word by word. According to Aldridge's previous reminder, the content in it did contain a small amount of poison, so Dorothy had to be careful when reading.
After taking a casual glance, Dorothy found that these pages originally belonged to a book called "General Knowledge of Stepping Stone". The paper was very thick and the words were printed. It seemed that it was not an ancient book, and the readers were quite comfortable. Soon, Dorothy read the key points of the book.
…
After a preliminary understanding of spirituality and how to accumulate spirituality, the path to becoming an extraordinary person has been opened to us. The next thing we need to introduce is a preliminary understanding of the ranks of extraordinary people.
In the secret world, the higher the level of the Extraordinary, the more powerful they are, the longer their lifespan, the deeper their knowledge, the more they can understand the nature of the world, transcend the mundane, and elevate their lives. And the Extraordinary are also clearly divided into different ranks from high to low.
In the mortal world, the stages of Extraordinary People are divided into five. Various secret organizations will assign different names to each stage, and there has never been a fixed name. However, due to the widespread existence of the Stonemasons Guild on the mainland, they have many transactions with major organization forces in the world, so their internal names have gradually been widely accepted and slowly become the mainstream of the secret world.
In the naming tradition of the Stonemasons Guild, the first stage of the Extraordinary rank is called "Apprentice" or "Stone", and the next four are the names of the four major steps of alchemy.
They are "black soil", "chalk", "red soil" and "gold" respectively.
…
Seeing this, Dorothy couldn't help but nodded slightly, thinking that the influence of this Craftsmen and Merchants Alliance was really great, and it had gradually standardized the titles of the ranks in the secret world.
After reading the torn pages, Dorothy also had a general understanding of the rank division of the secret world. In this case, the apprentice level of the 'Cup' is the 'Thirsty'. Albert, who met Edric in Vulcan that day, should be at this level. Greg was probably also an 'apprentice' who could deal with him, but it was not clear what kind of spiritual path he was on.
Dorothy continued to read on. The following content was the key point, which introduced the promotion ceremony of all the initial spiritual levels.
The following content was a combination of densely packed characters and complex patterns. Some of the words were difficult to understand, but after putting in some effort, she still finished reading it all.
With a great sigh of relief, Dorothy leaned back in the chair in front of the table and rubbed her temples.
At this time, the system in Dorothy's mind had already prompted her that she had completed the secret teachings. She did not think much about it and directly extracted the spirituality. Since this secret teaching did not focus on any spiritual theme, it was a comprehensive book of mysticism with one point of each spiritual content, so Dorothy directly accumulated 1 point of each spirituality, and because of the nature of the knowledge, she had an extra point of enlightenment.
Now, Dorothy has accumulated 10 points of "Revelation", 6 points of "Cup", 5 points of "Shadow", 1 point of "Lamp", 1 point of "Stone", and 1 point of "Silence".
At this moment, Dorothy's spiritual "enlightenment" was full and could meet the requirements for promotion, but she was not very happy now, and this was because of the problem with the promotion ceremony.
It is indeed as Aldridge said, the initial advancement of all spiritualities is simple, and the basics are consistent and similar.
All spiritual promotion rituals only require the drawing of a simple magic circle with spiritual symbols, assisted by some common incense materials, but the most important thing is that the initial promotion ritual requires a "guide".
Yes, guide, all spiritual initial promotion ceremonies must have a guide who is at least at the apprentice level and whose spirituality matches to preside over the ceremony. The promoted person guides the spirit, and only then can the guiding ceremony be successful.
For Dorothy, now she has the spiritual needs for promotion. Those auxiliary materials are very common, not mysterious items, just go to the street to buy them, if they are not available on the street, then Aldridge must have them. Various spiritual symbols are drawn in the book, just draw them according to the instructions. The key is this guide.
If Dorothy wanted to be promoted to an extraordinary person of "Enlightenment", then she must have an extraordinary person of "Enlightenment" who was at least at the apprentice level to preside over the ceremony for her, but now she had no place to find an extraordinary person of "Enlightenment" at all.
I am in Igwinter, the Crimson Holy Communion is the result of the "cup", and Aldrich is a Beyonder of "Stone", and none of them have anything to do with "Initiation". I can't go to the Security Bureau to ask if there are any Beyonders of "Initiation" there. I have no idea where to find this so-called guide!
Thinking of this, Dorothy couldn't help but feel depressed. She had no idea how to find Qi's Beyonder, and even if she found him, what would it matter? They were not related to her, so why would they help her?
"Could it be that the Qi route is not feasible? Otherwise, I can only become an apprentice to Aldridge and carve stones for a few years to accumulate the spirituality of the stone. After accumulating enough, I can let him be the guide?"
Dorothy thought about this, and then shook her head to deny this idea. Not to mention that she only had 1 stone now, she didn't know how long it would take to accumulate it. Even if she asked Aldridge to be her guide after accumulating it, who knew what kind of sky-high price that guy would offer.
"Promotion fee... 1,000 pounds..."
Dorothy's mind flashed with the image of Aldridge caressing her with a kind smile, and then she decisively gave up the idea of turning to the "stone" path.
With a hint of distress, Dorothy picked up the book again and began to read it, wanting to see if there were any other ways. After reading it carefully, she soon found a way to replace the guide.
The last few paragraphs of the page describe possible alternatives if a guide is not available.
The first is to find items with rich and matching spirituality to replace the spiritual guidance of the guide, but such a ceremony is far less stable than the guide's ceremony, is prone to failure, and has higher requirements on the quality of the person being promoted.
Secondly, one can pray to a high-ranking divine being hidden in the world. If the prayer attracts the attention of a certain being, that being can act as a guide if it is pleased and help complete the ascension ceremony.
Of course, the possibility of a nobody attracting the attention of a divine being is extremely low, and even if it does, the outcome will most likely not be positive.
