After half an hour of rest, Adam finally recovered. In the meantime, he found that there was a strange symbol on the back of his palm, it was an oddly designed pattern with conjoined circles.
The circles faded and disappeared quickly, but Adam knew that they were still hiding in his body waiting to be awakened.
A complex pattern formed from circles; is it in correspondence with the materials that I should have gathered to perform the ritual?
This must mean that in the future, there is no need for me to prepare materials and can do the ritual and chant immediately? Adam made a guess.
But I wonder what difference it would have made if he had released his blood during the ritual.
Adam was not at all worried about this strange occurrence, quite the contrary he was extremely calm about it as he was certain it belonged to him and his family. The mysterious murmuring that drove him crazy made him recall bits and pieces of the memories that flashed in his head when he awoke from Cordu. But Adam didn't put much mind on that and focused on other matters.
I am still to misinformed about the mysticism world, any mistakes I make could be deadly . It best to observe and learn before taking any risky actions. The greatest fear is of the unknown, he said this words as he acutely felt that what he already knew were insignificant.
There was an unprecedented and irresistible urge to make contact with the mysterious domain, to learn more and to explore the unknown. There was also an innate instinct to not involve himself in supernatural matters to pretend that nothing has happened and live out a normal life.
Intense light shone onto the desk making it appear as through grains of gold were sprinkled on it. Adam gazed at the desk feeling his jumbling mind get calm like a still lake.
He relaxed slight as a strong sense of fatigue washed over him. He felt exhausted after the encounter and decided to relax on the desk.
He placed his hand over his chin and sighed softly as he picked up the book that the shop keeper Eva had given him.
He then took a pen that was already on the desk as he gained a thoughtful pose for almost a minute.
After that he then sighed and said gently. There too much things I have to figure out .
After saying that he began to write on the journal.
1) what significance does the White room have with me or my family?
2) read about the history of this world and about these interesting cards of blasphemy made by emperor Roselle that Mr jester had mentioned.
Adam placed this of high importance because he had read from Aurore book that emperor Roselle was a beyonder of the savant pathway also nicknamed the famous son of steam.
Since Adam planned to tread the same path as emperor Roselle acquiring information about him was of utmost importance.
Maybe I could just ask from Adrian he should know about all these things.adam pondered
He then turned to Adrian's empty bed with a book shelf filled to the brim with loads of big and small books.
Why didn't Adrian attend the mass this morning isn't he a follower of the eternal blazing sun.
Adam being a remarkable observer had noticed some strange behaviors of Adrian that concerned him, his absence during the mass this morning when he said he was going to be there. Did something urgent happen that needed his attention? Adam hadn't put much thought into this but now he realized it was all too weird and suspicious that he asked me to meet a friend of his late at night.
Adam cleared away this thought for a moment and regained focused on his list of goals he wanted to achieve quickly.
Now of course if it is. Possible to become a savant even though It might lead to me losing control and turning into a monster because I'm a mixed beyonder from birth. This is a very risky bet perhaps I should just chose the reader pathways which neighbors spectator and bard but all these pathways are support I have to be able to defend myself.
Adam had previously read about the dangers of the mysticism world and the Orthodox gods and multiple secret organizations in the fray not to mention dieties that are unheard of beginning to infiltrate earth like a virus with boons and crazy followers.
Ah Adam placed his hands over his head has he struggled to find a solution.
Then he recalled the honorific name he had used in the ritual along with the letters written in dragoneses. It was then he wrote his third goal
3) learn the dragonese language and gather more insights about mysticism.
There we go these three are main focus the rest I'll figure out along the way. Adam sighed and was about to close his book.
Then something sparked in his head that he had totally forgotten. Adam remembered something he had seen from in the White room when he had read from that slate
The savant pathway governs creation, craftsmanship and is the foundation for.
Adam hadn't read it all before the white room expanded and he lost site of the slate.
But this recall made him include a forth goal.
4) figure out the sequences of the pathways.
Since choosing a pathway decides who your friends and enemies are I have to know their sequence names and abilities that way I can creste protection and countermeasures to protect myself. Adam nodded inwardly at this idea.
He then turned to the middle of the book and wrote down the pathways he had heard of from Adrian and the others he has met.
He particularly placed more importance on his natural born pathways as those were what he would be dealing with right now.
With that Adam qently close the book and stood up from the chair to pick up the clothes he had used as the offering instead of his blood.
He went to pick it up and inspected the robe for any changes. He noticed that the torn sections of the robes had been completely gone and it even appeared clean and not wrinkled.
This might be a side effect of using the object as a ritual material?
Adam had expected the robe to be destroyed during the ritual as he placed it as a sacrifice to but it was still intact and neat .
This made Adam more confused and anxious about the secrets Biden in his notebook.
He then gently tucked the robe away in the bag he had carried from Aurore's room.
As he did that the door to the room opened and a figure waled inside , it was Adrian.
