Seeing the contents on the Blasphemy Slate, Hobart was somewhat surprised. He had not expected the Blasphemy Slate to contain descriptions of each Sequence as well.
The first part of these descriptions provided guidance on how to act, while the second described the Sequence's primary abilities and people's impressions of its Beyonders.
Worth every penny! Absolutely worth every penny! To Hobart, he had merely sacrificed a "small account," yet obtained his complete set of Sequence Potion Recipes and so much valuable information.
He quickly read on:
"Sequence 4: Fallen Earl
Main Ingredients: All the essence of one Black Mist Lord Tree, the complete brain of a Six-legged Sprite.
Auxiliary materials: 20 milliliters of Black Mist Lord Tree's Sap, 12 grams of Six-legged Sprite marrow, 15 grams of Atlanta Flower powder, 70 milliliters of White Wine aged for more than ten years.
Ritual: Plan a conspiracy concerning power. The victim of the conspiracy must be at the same level as, or stronger than, its planner. Seize all of the victim's authority and wealth through the conspiracy, then consume the Potion amid the victim's despair and pain, and amid the support of the people who belonged to the victim."
Hobart froze. Why was there no related description for Sequence 4?
He looked further down and found that Sequence 3, Madness Magician, had no description either. It seemed that the related descriptions only went as far as Sequence 5.
Hobart then reviewed the advancement Rituals for Sequence 5 and Sequence 4. Sequence 6 was "Corrupted Baron," which meant he had to "corrupt" the people within his territory. Yet when advancing, he also had to make them sincerely support him?
No, no. Hobart suddenly realized that "corruption" generally would not be directed at the people. Usually, it would be directed at colleagues or superiors.
