Chapter 3: The soaring points, Deep Blue, give me a breakdown!
Charles's ecstasy at this moment was not only because the Infinite Deduction System, which he called Deep Blue, was powerful enough to actually recycle the Sublimation Potion into Deduction Points, thus saving him from death.
Furthermore, after using this bottle of sublimation potion, the system notifications in his mind started ringing out incessantly.
"Deduction points +100, Deduction points +100..."
You should know that even if he eats eight meals a day, he can only get a few deduction points.
You can only gain more deduction points by consuming gold and precious jewels, but at most only a few dozen points.
But now, during the transformation process of the sublimation agent, each jump is worth hundreds of points!
By the time this bottle of sublimation potion was completely converted, Xia Er had gained nearly 10,000 deduction points, comparable to the total number of deduction points he had earned in the past ten years!
It was only then that Xia Er suddenly realized something: he might have misunderstood the pattern of system transformation and deduction points for the past ten years.
He originally thought that the system would convert the items he consumed into deduction points, and the number of points would be calculated according to the rarity of the items; the older and rarer the items, the more deduction points they would generate.
His previous acquisition of hundreds of deduction points after consuming an antique jewel seemed to confirm this.
But if we consider that this world is a magical realm, then perhaps it should be calculated based on the amount of magic contained in the item!
Ordinary food contains almost no magic, so it provides very few deduction points.
Gold, on the other hand, is a material used in the magical world and provides more deduction points.
The older the treasure, the more likely it is to be connected to the magical world and the greater the possibility that it contains magical power, which is why it provides more deduction points.
This time, I drank the sublimation potion that the strange wizard Dark had painstakingly prepared, and I was able to gain tens of thousands of deduction points in one go!
With tens of thousands of deduction points, even if used in a scattered manner, Xia Er has already become recognized as the most talented student in the whole of Britain, winning numerous awards in various fields of competition.
What if we focus on one area?
That would have the power to turn something rotten into something magical!
Perhaps this is where Charles's hope of surviving from Dark lies.
Therefore, at this moment, Charles was no longer so averse to the extremely disgusting smell of the sublimation potion.
Just thinking about the tens of thousands of deduction points it brings makes me feel a little tempted, and I can't wait to get another bottle!
However, when Charles called out for another bottle, the old wizard Dark did not respond at all.
He was overwhelmed with joy and ecstasy, as if in disbelief.
"He's not dead? He's really not dead? He even wants another bottle?"
"What does this mean? It means my improved sublimation potion formula is effective, and very effective!"
"It's done! I, Darkseid, am going to succeed!"
Dak excitedly started dancing around.
After a while, Dark looked hesitant again, staring at Charles and muttering to himself.
"He did not die, but the effects of the sublimation drug did not manifest in him."
"What are the characteristics of sublimation? There aren't any!"
Dark felt restless again and began pacing back and forth in the basement.
"Could it be that I made the sublimation agent milder, which actually rendered it ineffective?"
"It certainly won't kill anyone, but it might not achieve the desired effect of sublimation?"
"So, does that mean I might fail?"
"Did I succeed or fail?!"
Listening to Dark's delirious ramblings, Charles felt a chill run down his spine.
He could see that Dark's mental state was extremely unstable. He longed for the success of the sublimation potion, but was also discouraged by repeated rejections and failures, and even doubted whether the sublimation potion could succeed.
If Darke continues to let his mind wander like this, who knows what he might do?
After a moment's consideration, Charles spoke up decisively.
"There's no doubt about it, your sublimation potion is indeed effective!"
Upon hearing this, Dark froze, then turned to look at Charles.
The next moment, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said decisively.
"You're lying to me, you must be lying to me!"
He pulled out his wand, his expression growing increasingly fierce.
"I'm going to give you a Cruciatus Curse so you'll know what happens when you lie to me."
"Do you know about the Crucifixion Curse? Do you know what it feels like to be cursed with it?"
"I used it on that Ser Merlin's Order who called me crazy, hahaha, drove him insane! Now let's see who's the madman!"
"Would you like to give it a try?"
Charles then shouted loudly.
"I can prove it! I can prove that your sublimation agent really worked!"
"If you try to torture me and it interferes with the effectiveness of the sublimation potion, I guarantee you'll regret it!"
A look of hesitation appeared in Dak's eyes.
"Prove it? Can you prove it?"
"How will you prove it?"
Charles then calmed down and said quietly.
"You developed the Ascension Potion to elevate people's souls and allow them to reach the so-called source of magic, right?"
"So, during the process of soul sublimation, are there any strange phenomena, such as stronger learning abilities, or even the ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous? What kind of spells will be completely different in the hands of the sublimated one?"
"Teach me any simple spell, and I'll prove it to you."
Charles's words immediately enlightened Dark, who repeatedly agreed.
"Yes, yes, how could the spells of the Ascended be the same as those of ordinary mortals?"
"That will surely contain something so strange that even Dumbledore would be horrified!"
"I'll teach you a simple spell, and you'll be able to prove it..."
Dak hesitated again.
"But what if you're lying to me?"
"Are you trying to learn magic spells so you can kill me?"
Charles gave a wry smile.
"I'm not even eleven years old yet. You casually teach me a simple, non-aggressive spell. Do you think I have the ability to kill you?"
Dak thought about it and agreed.
After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded.
Accompanied by the waving of the wand and the gestures, short syllables rang out.
"The fireflies are twinkling."
A ray of light shone from the tip of Dark's wand, finally making the dim basement a little more visible.
It took Charles a moment to adjust to the light after it had been on for a while.
He subconsciously looked around, and the sight that met his eyes sent a chill down his spine.
He already knew he was tied to a chair.
But the basement seemed to have been enchanted with a seamless stretching spell, making it much more spacious than Charles had imagined.
There are at least a dozen more chairs like the one Charles is sitting in in this basement!
There was no trace of anyone on the chair, only pools of foul-smelling liquid remaining, containing human clothing, jewelry, and other items.
Just one look is enough to tell what has become of those people who were once tied to chairs.
Ciel took a deep breath, trying to calm the nausea.
But the next moment, the increasingly strong fishy smell, accompanied by his inhalation, made Charles unable to help but open his mouth and gag to the side.
Dark didn't care about that at all; all he cared about was verifying whether his sublimation potion was working.
After explaining the casting gestures and incantations for the Glowing Charm to Sharl, Dark poured out a bag from the side.
With a clatter, at least a dozen magic wands rolled to the ground.
He randomly picked a rope, stuffed it into Ciel's hand, and loosened the rope a little so that Ciel could move his arms and wave his wand freely.
Dark held his wand, staring intently at Ciel.
"Come on, let me see the sublimation effect you're talking about."
Ciel gripped his wand, still covered in filthy slime, and as he recalled Dark's explanation of the Glowing Charm, the Infinite Deduction System's prompts rang in his mind.
"Detectable deducible knowledge—the Glowing Charm—deduce now?"
The next moment, a light flashed in Charles's eyes, and a roar erupted in his mind.
"Deep Blue, perform the deduction!"
