The Fool Was Startled

"Could the sealed artifact in Mr. Devil's hand be so powerful that it can interfere with divination above the gray fog? Or is it that I don't see it, but Mr. Devil's own luck is as unpredictable as white fog? Then, was my previous divination actually effective?"

Thinking of this, Klein immediately changed his divination statement and performed it again. Then she was surprised to find that most of the divination targeting Sno could take effect normally, but once it involved the other party's luck and fate, the divination statements would all point to that white fog.

"Considering that the space above the gray fog has the power to eliminate interference, Mr. Devil's fate trajectory should be shielded by a power comparable to the gray fog. But this does not prevent me from divining his actions. As long as it does not involve his fate, the divination results should be credible." Klein thought of this and shook his head again, "No, I can't be superstitious about the divination results. I still need to take precautions..."

After completing several divinations, Klein did not linger on the gray fog. He immediately returned to reality and tried to interpret the information provided by Sno using normal astrolabe divination, but the answer he got was as ridiculous as a poodle's curly hair.

"Hoo..." Klein took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset to a calm state, and just as he opened the door and was about to go to the reception hall to find Mr. Devil, he heard the other party's gentle voice—

"Mr. Moretti, have you got the results of the divination?"

"..." Klein gave Sno, who seemed to have been waiting at the door, a deep look, and moved away from the doorway, saying, "Let's go inside."

"Okay." Sno reached out and petted the cat's head, then stepped into the yellow crystal room. He then wisely turned and locked the door. After that, Klein was heard saying, "Can you tell me your real purpose for coming for divination this time? Mr. Extraordinary?"

"Plan C!" Sno's third contingency plan was triggered, and his expression became serious. "It seems my luck is really good, to have encountered a true Diviner."

"He knows I'm a Diviner? Or, did he come here specifically to find a Diviner?" Klein tried to analyze some information from the other party's words. He had originally planned to directly develop the other party into an informant as an official Extraordinary, but he suppressed that thought and narrowed his eyes, saying, "It seems I guessed correctly?"

"That's right, or rather, we both guessed correctly." Sno smiled, reached out and stroked Lily's head, and said, "I need the assistance of a Diviner. If you are willing to help, I can give you the subsequent Potion formulas for the Diviner sequence."

"You have the subsequent Potions?" Klein asked in as calm a tone as possible, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"That's right. In fact, my purpose for coming here was to find a young, talented Diviner to cultivate my own Diviner. I didn't expect to find one ready-made." Sno spread his hands, his tone carrying obvious self-deprecation.

Hearing this, Klein frowned slightly, but he still spoke to probe, "Aren't you afraid I'm an official Extraordinary?"

Upon hearing Klein's words, Sno seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his whole demeanor became casual—

"First, official Extraordinarys don't understand the Acting Method. Since you appeared at the Divination Club, you are most likely not an official Extraordinary. Well, hearing me mention the Acting Method without any surprise or confusion further increases the probability that you are not an official Extraordinary.

Second, even if you are an official Extraordinary, only the Church of the Night Mother possesses the Potion for the Diviner sequence. However, they do not have the formulas for further advancement in this sequence. In other words, as long as you want to advance, we have room for transactions.

In fact, if you are an official Extraordinary, I would be even happier, because then I wouldn't have to think about how to report to that forgetful Extraordinary! As for you arresting me, it doesn't matter either, because I think the church's basement will be the safest place for me during this period."

"The forgetful Extraordinary, are you referring to Captain Dunn?" Klein felt that the corners of his mouth might be twitching. This Mr. Devil... how should I put it? Isn't he a bit too casual?

Realizing that the rhythm of the conversation was being led astray by Mr. Devil, Klein forcefully suppressed his urge to complain and said solemnly, "Then what do you intend for the Diviner to do?"

"Find someone." Sno's expression immediately became serious. That abrupt change made Klein momentarily at a loss.

"Tell me, if it's not too dangerous, I don't mind earning some extra money." Klein showed interest, but Sno still had that serious look—

"His name is Lanclus, a con artist, possibly a Sequence 8 Con-artist. As for anything else, that's not something you need to be involved in. You just need to help me find him."

"Lanclus?" Klein vaguely remembered hearing this name somewhere. After thinking for a moment, he recalled that Mr. Gracis had asked him to divine an investment, and that investment pointed to someone named Lanclus.

Considering the sequence name "Con-artist," Mr. Gracis's investment was likely to be wasted.

However, why was Mr. Devil looking for this person?

Klein instinctively felt that this matter was not simple. As a member of the Aurora Society, Mr. Devil had no reason to come over for being defrauded. In other words, was this related to the seeds planted by Heinsohn Vincent and another Secret Speaker that Mr. Devil had mentioned before?

Or, was Lanclus that seed?

Thinking of this, Klein's eyes widened, and Sno suddenly looked at him, revealing a chilling smile:

"If you are an official Extraordinary, then please arrest me, preferably lock me up in the church's underground prison. If you can escort me to Backlund, that would be even better. If not, then help me find Lanclus, and then leave Tingen as soon as possible. Run as far away as you can."

"..." Klein activated his Spirit Vision and looked at Mr. Devil's slightly chaotic etheric aura, feeling a little uneasy. However, thinking of his previous doubts, he hesitated slightly before speaking, "Mr. Panredax, I will try to complete your commission. However, besides the subsequent Potion formulas for the Diviner, can I inquire about some information in the Extraordinary domain from you? Well, I will pay the corresponding reward."

Speaking of this, Klein couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but thinking of Miss Justice behind him, he felt a little more confident. At worst, he would trade with Miss Justice under the guise of "I have a dependent who needs activity funds." Well, Miss Justice, as a novice in the Extraordinary domain, had quite a few things to trade.

Seeing Klein's constantly changing aura, Sno couldn't guess what he was thinking. While finding it amusing, he nodded and said, "Yes, if I know."

Personally, I believe the two strongest pathways among the twenty-two are undoubtedly Spectator and The Hanged Man. The "survival trio" rely on prior preparation and play the long game, which means they are at a disadvantage in direct confrontation, but they excel at survival.

In terms of direct combat, Death God Battle seems decent, but it's too pure and has flaws in versatility, making it easy to be outmaneuvered. The Judge and The Black Emperor are purely supportive and cannot be main damage dealers.

As for Spectator, it's the earliest pathway that can activate mythological creature form combat. Its melee combat is not weak, and its mental abilities are all-encompassing. Moreover, when fighting a Spectator, you can hardly even generate the thought of resisting. Turning around to find a Spectator has been watching you from behind, I think that's more terrifying than a monocle. Furthermore, the Spectator's mental control and script-guiding abilities mean it always has the initiative. Not to mention that after becoming a True God, it can even fantasize about Outer Gods... It's simply the child of the version.

As for the other pathway, The Hanged Man, it is also a comprehensive suppression type. Secret Speakers master a large number of ritualistic magic and directly communicate with hidden existences. Attendants of Mysteries carry pollution themselves; if you attack me, you lose a lot, and if I attack you, you have to endure it. Hermits are anti-divination. Rose Bishops are almost physically immortal. Shepherds can directly become main damage dealers with their herding. For others, Extraordinary items have strong side effects, but Shepherds can directly use them to pollute someone, turn them into semi-uncontrolled Extraordinarys, and then herd them. It can be said that Extraordinary items are Extraordinary items in the hands of others, but in the hands of Shepherds, they are abilities of their choice.

The only problem is that the Creator has gone mad. If the Creator wasn't mad, the Secret Speaker pathway, which directly communicates with deities, would definitely be more buggy than Spectator.
