Chapter 3447 Achromatopsia

Chapter 3446 Achromia

Angel: "You mean, Mond is likely to be related to achromia?"

Laplace did not nod or shake his head, but simply said lightly: "It may not be Mond, maybe it's the evil witch Mond wants to defeat?"

"Of course, it's also possible that achromia has nothing to do with either of them."

"After all, the investigation results announced by the extremist sect only found that the origin was Chengu Town, and did not identify a specific person."

Angel also understood what Laplace meant. There was no evidence that these two people were related to achromatism, so it was inappropriate to directly equate them.

But then again, since Laplace mentioned the matter of "achromia", he obviously had doubts.

Laplace nodded: "Indeed, I have doubts. But what I doubt is not people, but..."

Laplace looked at the color palette that exuded a faint mysterious aura in the psychic display cabinet.

"It's Mond's palette." Laplace said slowly.

The effect of achromia is that the entire Kingdom of Sunlight begins to gradually dim and lose color, leaving only black and white and gray.

The effect of "Mond's Palette" is to extract and reproduce colors from everything.

Judging from the effect alone, achroma and color palette are completely corresponding, or complementary.

According to Laplace, there must be some intrinsic connection between the two.

When Laplace said this, he suddenly changed the topic and looked at Angel: "Do you know what impact a mysterious thing that is not artificially refined will have at the beginning of its birth?"

Angel didn't expect that Laplace would change the topic so quickly. One second he was talking about the color palette, and the next second he was talking about the birth of a mysterious object.

Because of this, Angel didn't react for a while. After a long while, he said: "It will gradually change from order to disorder."

When Laplace heard this answer, he chuckled: "Your answer may be more professional. But in my opinion, the birth of every mysterious thing in nature has only one impact..."

"That's a disaster."

"In nature, the birth of every mysterious thing is often accompanied by inexplicable disasters. For example, the disaster puppet mentioned by Xiao Xiaotao, when it was first born, it appeared in the form of the wishing puppet Buisa, which seemed to be a blessing. But when it takes the form of the disaster puppet Hulifa, it will bring disaster, and this disaster will continue to spread and may even destroy the world."

When Laplace said this, the topic turned back to the present again: "Looking back now, does achromia look like a disaster that will erode the entire world if it is not stopped?"

Angel’s answer this time was definitely: “Yes.”

Because ordinary disasters will not alarm the extremist sect. The extremist sect represents the will of the world in the Southern Region. Usually they can only carry out some actions on the stowaways; but once they make any big noise, it must mean... The World Will may have sensed a crisis that could threaten the entire world.

The extremist sect wiped out the entire Kingdom of Sunlight, including the continent, and all the creatures in it.

Isn't this a big move?

Achromatia may really make the world's will feel threatened.

And isn’t this in line with what Laplace said?

"I have a guess." Seeing that Angel seemed to have figured it out, Laplace said again: "Perhaps, the emergence of achromia means that something mysterious is about to be born."

“And this mysterious object is most likely ‘Mond’s Palette’.”

Because achroma is losing color; and the palette is absorbing color. One inhalation and one loss, and the sources are all in Morning Valley Town. Laplace doesn't believe that there is no connection between them.

"However, now we have determined that 'Mond's Palette' is only a secret treasure, not a mysterious object, which means that the extreme sect's big move has worked."

"I don't know what method the extremist sect used, but they did interrupt the spread of achromatism in time, and this may be the reason why the color palette has not become a mysterious thing."

"In the end, it became an ordinary secret treasure."

After Laplace finished speaking, the air fell into silence.

After a long while, Angel nodded slowly... Not only was this guess logically self-consistent, but all kinds of evidence seemed to indicate that this might really be the truth behind it.

Angel raised his head and looked at the color palette in the psychic display cabinet. If her guess was true, then even though the effect of this palette was ordinary, it was just a method of extracting and copying colors, but there was something behind this effect. The price was an entire country, twelve provinces, and hundreds of millions of lives...

I was a little shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt it was reasonable.

As Laplace said, most of the mysterious things in nature bring not blessings when they are born, but unavoidable disasters.

From order to disorder, it ultimately leads to horrific consequences.

Of course, there must be exceptions, but such exceptional mysterious objects are often intercepted silently by extraordinary beings without leaving any trace; the remaining ones that are not exceptions will be particularly conspicuous.

After a period of silence, Angel looked at Jotta not far away.

"Can I ask a question?"

Jota nodded: "Excuse me."

Angel: "I want to know, what color is the diary you got?"

Jota was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

Because Angell and Laplace had communicated in the mind band before, Yota didn't know about achromatopsia. Now when he heard Angell's question, he had no idea what Angell meant.

Angel thought about it and asked again: "I just want to know if Mond's diary has other colors besides black, white and gray?"

"Not only the color of the handwriting, but also the cover, pages, and even the spots left on it, are there other colors?"

Although Yota didn't understand why Angell asked this, he thought about it carefully and answered: "The cover of the diary is pure white, very white, without any other colors. The pages inside are the same."

"As for the handwriting, it is pure black. No other colors are seen."

Hearing Yota's answer, especially when he used "pure" to describe the two colors of "black and white", Angell and Laplace looked at each other and saw the expectation in each other's eyes.

Black, maybe someone will occasionally use pure to describe it; but white, if you want pure white, especially if the paper page wants to achieve pure white, then the papermaking process needs to be of extremely high standard.

And normal paper pages are all mixed with some colors.

Mond's diary can be pure black and white without any mixed colors... This is actually very unexpected.

Although it may not necessarily be related to achromatopsia, it can already serve as evidence of association.

Inger whispered in the mind band: "If Mond's diary has also lost color, it means... Mond's era is not far from achromatopsia, or even in the present."

"If it is really in the present, then the color palette may really be strongly related to achromatopsia."

After all, the color palette is in the psychic display cabinet, and its color, they can clearly see with the naked eye, is the normal wood color, not black, white or gray.

The color palette is not affected by achromatopsia, but the diary is.

They were discovered together.

There is obviously an internal connection here.

Laplace: "Whether there is a connection or not, it actually has no impact on the present."

Angel also nodded, and followed Laplace's words, saying: "That's right, anyway, my horizons have been broadened, and I have also learned a secret of the Southern Region. It is not a loss to let "Mond's Palette" occupy an exhibition position."

As for whether Angel is interested in "Mond's Palette"?

At present, no.

Angel really can't think of what role it can play when it falls into his hands... Maybe one day it can meet its destined owner and wipe off the dust, but Angel thinks that this person should not be himself.

...

"Are you sure you want to change the second treasure?" Yota asked: "If you regret it later and plan to look at this treasure again, then summon it to the psychic display cabinet again, and it will also occupy three places on that day. So, are you sure you want to change?"

Angel nodded without hesitation: "Change."

Mond's Palette, they have learned everything they should know, there is no need to continue reading.

Yota did not say anything else. After teleporting the palette away, he followed the previous process of summoning the palette and did it again.

However, this time, the one who was summoned by the aperture was no longer the giant statue.

Instead, it was a giant statue with both hands on his chest, making a triangle gesture.

The glowing object was right in the middle of the triangle gesture.

The aperture wrapped around the glowing object and replaced it in the triangle gesture, while the glowing object was teleported to the psychic display cabinet by the hexagram formation.

"No. 49, "The Art of Black." After Yota finished speaking softly, he stepped back a few steps and left the space to Angel and Laplace again.

Angel first took a look at the "The Art of Black" in the display cabinet.

Well... there is nothing special.

It is just a pulp paper book with a black shell.

The cover is pitch black, and the characters "The Art of Black" are written horizontally in the middle of the cover. The character "Black" occupies a line alone, and the font is relatively large, while the word "Art" is below "Black" and the characters are slightly smaller.

The thickness of the book is also within the normal range. Visually, it should be between eighty and one hundred pages.

Because the display cabinet isolates the exploration, Angel can only see the outer cover. And there is really no clue on the outer cover, and there is no doubt.

Angel shook his head, retracted his gaze, and turned to look at the introduction of "The Art of Black" on the crystal screen.

As soon as he saw the first sentence, Angel's pupils shrank suddenly.

"The Art of Black, author Odorus."

Just seeing the author's name, Angel immediately understood that his guess was correct.

"The Art of Black" is indeed a work of the Death School!

Because Odorus is the most famous representative of the Death School, and it can even be said that he can be regarded as the son of the Death School! He not only deeply understood the truth of the Death School alchemy, but also created the unprecedented Four Primarchs Technique.

Pushed the Death School alchemy to the highest level of the alchemy world at that time.

At that time, in the alchemy world, as long as the Death School was mentioned, Odorus would almost immediately think of it!

Therefore, there is no doubt that when Ingres saw that the author of "The Art of Black" was Odorus, and the title was related to "black", there was basically no doubt about it.

This must be a work handed down by the Death School.

Ingres suppressed his inner excitement and continued to look at the introduction on the screen.

However, there is not much introduction at the end, especially when compared with "Mond's Color Palette", it seems shabby.

To sum it up in three sentences.

The first sentence introduces Odorus, saying bluntly that he is an alchemical master who dominates countless geniuses. Especially in shaping the appearance of alchemical works, he has his own set of unique artistic techniques and can be called the "Master of Beauty." .

After Angel read this introduction to Odorus, he personally felt that only the first sentence was more credible. The "Master of Beauty" at the back was probably just sealed by the seller to express the word "art" when the book "The Art of Blackness" was auctioned.

Angel has many alchemy notes of the Death Sect, and he also introduced Odorus in them. However, these introductions only mentioned his explanation of "black", "death" and "rebirth", and never mentioned " beautiful".

Because for anyone who has reached the level of an alchemist master, his cultivation of "beauty" is already included in his status as a "master" and will not be mentioned deliberately.

The second sentence introduces the general content of "The Art of Blackness".

This is similar to what was recorded in the invitation letter Luigi received. To put it simply, it contains the secrets of alchemy, but it is mostly focused on shape shaping and Odorus' personal aesthetic and artistic views.

It is basically impossible to learn alchemy through "The Art of Darkness".

The third sentence is a... riddle.

"It is said that there are secrets hidden in the Art of Blackness.——This statement comes from the auctioneer of the Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins. Whether it is true or not is unknown."

This sentence is most likely just a marketing tool or marketing password deliberately spoken by the auctioneer. Books with secrets will definitely attract more people's attention and fetch higher prices.

Of course, it is also possible that "The Art of Darkness" really has secrets, just like "Journey to the Umbrella".

However, since the Jingmu clan specifically added the sentence "This quote comes from the auctioneer" after getting the book, it means that they did not find the secret after reading the book.

Otherwise, they would not deliberately leave this row of introductions.

Because the introduction on the screen was very small and could be read at a glance, it didn't take long for Angel and Laplace to communicate in the psychic tether.

"What do you think of this book?" Laplace looked at Angel.

"I'm a little interested." Angel didn't hide his inner thoughts this time.

After all, this is a book by the Death Sect, and the author is Odoros, the most representative figure of the Death Sect. Even if the book only introduces "art", Angel is very interested in it.

"However, although I am interested, I am not impatient yet." When Angel said this, he was also telling Laplace that there was no need to think about giving up "Book of Starry Sky".
