"Dual talents? What the hell is that?"

Suren lacked basic knowledge of this world, so even seeing the extra talent, he didn't know what it was for.

Moreover, he found that his mental strength had also changed from "26" to "18."

With 8 fewer points of mental strength, the feeling of murmurs in his ears had completely disappeared.

Suren speculated in his heart, "The principle of this altar is to sacrifice items, and exchange them for some extraordinary talent. Before, it was an eye for an eye. Now that my mental strength has decreased, could it be... the remnant of the original owner's soul in my body was completely sacrificed, and then I gained a new talent?"

He didn't dwell on this question, as there was no way to verify it.

But at this moment, a bizarre thought popped into Suren's head: if he wasn't a transmigrator, what would a normal person sacrifice to obtain this talent? Commit suicide on the altar and sacrifice their soul?

.......

"What exactly is the use of this [Talent S-004 - Death Reaper]?"

After all, this wasn't a game, and there were no skill descriptions in reality.

Suren looked at it for a while, but still had no clue, and his body didn't undergo any changes.

He thought for a moment and didn't dwell on it. Instead, he continued testing the abilities he had gained from his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, he turned his gaze to a few stone sculptures, and a string of text appeared above them.

[Broken Stone Sculpture]

Detailed explanation: A stone sculpture that has lost its extraordinary power. It has no observational significance.

This time, Suren roughly knew what this talent was used for. "Isn't this just the 'Appraisal Technique' in games..."

If we were to talk about the increase in combat power from this talent... it wouldn't be a big increase, it could be said to be completely useless.

This can basically be positioned as an auxiliary function.

At least, in a real fight, it was completely not on the same level as the bald man's [Tempered Skeleton].

"Perhaps I haven't figured out the use of this 'Omniscient Eye' yet, and there may be undiscovered abilities. Such a complex awakening ritual shouldn't be this simple..."

Suren looked at it and wasn't too disappointed.

At least, his eyesight has been enhanced, and it seems that his marksmanship will be more accurate.

At this time, he suddenly thought of something, walked down the altar, and took out the rune puppet that Pestoya had given him before, and appraised it.

After this look, he discovered that this was a good treasure.

[Cursed Object: Rune Odd Puppet]

Quality: Gold

Description: It doesn't like being manipulated by others and likes to control humans.

Curse characteristics: Within a ten-meter radius, it performs indiscriminate mind control on target creatures with a mental strength of less than 15, causing hypnosis, limb confusion, madness...

Detailed explanation: Alchemist's mystical series 'Odd Puppet Master' job-change material; greatly improves skill and agility attributes after job change, and comprehends exclusive inherited skills.

Evaluation: Body compatibility is 93%, which is already a very good quality career advancement material.

If it weren't for this "Omniscient Eye," Suren wouldn't have thought that a toy puppet that he considered a "souvenir" was so powerful.

"Limb confusion... This seems to be one of Pestoya's extraordinary abilities?"

Looking at the detailed introduction of the puppet, he immediately thought of the scene when his limbs were uncontrollably eating at the banquet hall before.

Directly depriving control of the body, this ability was really evil.

"It's actually indiscriminate mind control..."

Suren looked at it with a stern expression. If his mental strength wasn't stronger than ordinary people, having this thing by his side would probably drive him crazy immediately.

Um... it's roughly equivalent to carrying a dangerous "nuclear radiation toy" with you.

At this time, he also saw a new word in the detailed explanation - job-change material.

He thought of Ivan, the bald man who used a magic circle to transform his whole body into metallic scales. Could that be some kind of special method for advanced jobs?

Suren had a lot of strange knowledge in his head, and he probably guessed that this so-called "job-change" was similar to a class change in a game.

"Pestoya's job should be 'Odd Puppet Master'... but how to change jobs?"

Countless question marks popped up in Suren's mind, and he sighed slightly.

His understanding of this world was too limited, and he lacked a lot of necessary common sense.

But now it seems that having this "Omniscient Eye" ability is quite practical, at least it allows him to see these magical items and no longer be completely confused.

........

Suren put the wooden puppet back into the wooden box.

To his surprise, upon closer inspection, the box containing the rune puppet was also a treasure.

[Level 2 Rune Sealing Wooden Box]

Detailed explanation: A special alchemy box that can block mental power fluctuations; if you observe carefully, you will find that some words are engraved on it.

Suren had felt that the patterns on this box were a bit special before. Now that he saw this prompt, he looked at it more closely and found that the patterns were actually densely packed with tiny characters, which turned out to be a "Beginner's Guide to Odd Puppet Making."

"Could it be that Pestoya thought that I had strong mental strength and was suitable to be a puppet master, so she not only gave me 'job-change materials' but also sent me a professional skill book?"

Suren suddenly thought of the obedient blonde girl and felt an lingering sense of pity in his heart.

What a pity...

He also didn't forget the promise he made to the girl to ask her parents why they wanted to burn her to death.

But this manor has been abandoned for at least hundreds of years, and her parents are probably long gone.

This "agreement" may never be fulfilled.

Then, upon closer inspection, the butterfly brooch that the girl had pinned to his chest was also an extraordinary item.

[Pestoya's Brooch]

Focus +10

Detailed explanation: A brooch with strong resentment. An exquisite alchemical product, it can make the wearer more focused on studying, casting spells, working... But long-term wear will make the resentment make people's temperament become eccentric and tyrannical.

(Note: Your extraordinary ability prevents you from exploring, or understanding too many things that are beyond your level of understanding, so after careful perception, you also saw a string of 'Unknown???')

Suren looked at the brooch, thinking it was just a trinket that the little girl had casually given him.

But unexpectedly, when he saw the "???" note behind the brooch, a series of question marks popped up in his mind.

An elusive sense of mystery immediately hit him.

There was actually something hidden in this brooch that he couldn't understand for the time being?

What exactly is it that would cause the "Omniscient Eye" to judge that he couldn't even understand it... Is it like explaining the concept of three-dimensional and four-dimensional space to a two-dimensional being, who can hear and see, but just can't understand it?

Something that even he, a transmigrator, couldn't understand must not be simple...

"Could there be some secret hidden in this brooch?"

Suren instinctively felt that something was wrong.

At this time, the question that had been bothering Suren resurfaced in his mind: why did Pestoya's parents burn her to death?

Perhaps... there was some kind of problem with her herself?

In this world with extraordinary abilities, who knows what strange existences there might be.

If it weren't for the [Omniscient Eye], Suren might not have noticed any problems with the brooch.

But now that he had discovered it, he had an extra sense of vigilance in his heart.

But then Suren thought, Pestoya is the big Boss in this manor, even if there is suspicion, it's best not to be here.

Thinking this, he decided to leave here first.
