The Devil's Debut

Hearing Mr. Fool's words, Miss Justice immediately adjusted her mindset, entered her Spectator state, and then said with a slight smile:

"I want to know if there's a Sequence potion called 'Arbiter', and also, what kind of Extraordinary can directly pass through wooden doors, or make locks ineffective?"

Mr. Fool knew this question, and Mr. Hangman knew it too. However, the first to answer was not Mr. Fool, who was maintaining his status, nor Mr. Hangman, who intended to exchange information for it, but the new member—

Mr. Devil.

"I can answer your question." Sno tilted his head slightly and said in a steady, powerful voice.

"What kind of reward do you need? I can pay in gold pounds. Hmm, how about five hundred gold pounds?" Miss Justice's financial power was truly captivating. For knowledge that wasn't too rare, she offered a price equivalent to a Sequence Eight potion recipe.

"I need two extraordinary materials: a pair of Black-spotted Scale Snake fangs and three tail feathers from an Agate Peacock. At normal prices, the two would be around six hundred pounds. Considering the difficulty of collecting them, there will be a premium. I can make up the difference in cash, or you can ask me to answer some questions that aren't too advanced."

"No problem!" Audrey was a little excited for the first time to encounter a situation where she got change when buying something. She immediately agreed, and Sno didn't delay, directly answering:

"There does exist a pathway with the potion name 'Arbiter'. In fact, the royal families of the two great kingdoms, Rune and Fennelport, Augustus and Castia, control this Sequence. Arbiter is Sequence Nine of this pathway. Besides excellent combat abilities, they also possess convincing charm and authority."

Seeing Miss Justice nod slightly, Sno continued:

"As for the Extraordinary you mentioned who can open doors or locks, it should be Sequence Nine 'Apprentice'. This pathway is controlled by the Abraham family. The Gnosticism Society, Sorceress Cult, and Aurora Society also control parts of it."

"The Abraham family?" Mr. Hangman secretly noted down this information, which he was unfamiliar with, while Audrey couldn't help but sigh:

"If I had the 'Apprentice' recipe before, perhaps I wouldn't have chosen 'Spectator'."

Hearing Audrey's words, Sno chuckled:

"Then I must congratulate Miss Justice on her luck."

"Why do you say that?" Audrey's face behind the veil showed confusion. Did the Apprentice pathway have any problems?

"Because the Spectator pathway is one of the two strongest among the known twenty-two divine pathways. Considering the immense risks of the other pathway, it's not unreasonable to exclude it." As he said this, Sno suddenly seemed to recall something, and immediately turned to look at Mr. Fool, respectfully placing his hand on his chest and bowing: "My apologies, Mr. Fool, I meant no offense."

"It's alright." Mr. Fool magnanimously forgave the Devil's rudeness, but he was also wondering why Sno would say the Spectator pathway was the strongest.

Audrey was very happy that Mr. Devil considered the "Spectator" pathway the strongest, but she was more curious about why he came to that conclusion.

New to the supernatural realm, she didn't have as many reservations as Mr. Hangman and directly asked:

"Why do you say that? Oh, this can be settled with the compensation of one hundred gold pounds."

"It's finally here!" This was the moment Sno had been waiting for by saying so much. He adjusted his tone before speaking:

"The Spectator pathway possesses the power to change fate. High-Sequence powerhouses of this pathway can freely alter the trajectory of others' destinies, making everything develop in the direction they desire. If you suddenly find a large number of coincidences appearing in your life, then please pray to Mr. Fool immediately, because it likely means you have entered the script of a High-Sequence powerhouse of the Spectator pathway."

"Change fate!" Klein's heart suddenly tightened. Not long ago, he had learned from Mr. Azik that his fate had inconsistencies, and the numerous coincidences had always troubled him. Could all of this be the work of a High-Sequence being from the Spectator pathway? But why would they target him?

"Change fate? That sounds great!" Audrey was completely unaware of the turmoil in Mr. Fool's heart. She imagined herself as a High-Sequence being, using coincidences to tease Alfred, and almost burst out laughing.

However, she still remembered that she was at the Tarot Club and nodded with satisfaction:

"Mr. Devil, I am very satisfied with your answer. I will find those two materials as soon as possible."

After the minor disruption caused by Sno, the Tarot Club returned to its original course until Mr. Fool uttered the sentence, "Without my permission, do not recite my name." The gathering then came to a close.

"Spectator... change fate... script..." Returning to reality, Klein felt a strong sense of crisis.

He really wanted to inquire about the specific details of the Spectator pathway from Sno, but his identity as Mr. Fool prevented him from speaking.

"Perhaps Mr. Azik would know something? If he hasn't lost his memory..." Klein shook his head slightly. If Mr. Azik knew, he would have told him before. But if it were truly a High-Sequence powerhouse, even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to resist!

"No, if it were a High-Sequence powerhouse, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths to scheme against me. Even if the other party wanted the secret above the gray fog, I would absolutely be unable to resist. So, the interference wasn't directed at me, or... not just me?" The more Klein thought about it, the more chilling it became. He had finally escaped the trouble of the Antigonus family's notebook, only to be drawn into greater trouble. No, perhaps even the Antigonus family's notebook was part of the "script"!

"What should I do? Tell the Captain? No, the Captain is only Sequence Seven, and I don't have enough sources of information..."

Klein paced around his room. After a long while, he shook his head with a bitter smile because he found he had no solution.

"For now, I can only improve my own strength..." Klein knew very well that even after digesting the Diviner potion, he was still far from High-Sequence. Not to mention, he hadn't even obtained the Clown potion recipe yet. However, this was the only thing he could do right now!

The carriage drove into the Hoer street district, and Klein half-jumped, half-walked into the Divination Club. Just as he was about to greet Miss Angelica at the front desk, his pupils suddenly contracted. This was because his spiritual intuition told him that the handsome young man standing in front of Miss Angelica was dangerous—both the young man himself and the cat on his shoulder.

Just as Klein was hesitating whether to turn and leave, Miss Angelica suddenly noticed him and waved, saying:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Moretti. You've arrived just in time. This gentleman wishes to have a divination..."
