Scroll Professor

Don't be fooled by how well the Marquis Argel has been putting on a show lately; it's all just an act.

Kronos had reassured him that everything was alright, but who knows if that reassurance was genuine or not, or if it was just a case of reporting good news while concealing the bad.

So when he finally saw his son standing perfectly intact before him, the Marquis Argel felt his legs go weak for the first time in his life.

So he said nothing and silently returned to his Study.

If it were Kronos before he set sail, he might not have noticed these changes in his father, but now that he has undergone much training, he has seen them all.

So after chatting with his mother and Younger Sister for a long time, Kronos took the initiative to knock on the door of his father's Study.

Marquis Argel was somewhat surprised to see Kronos, as his son rarely took the initiative to visit him.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Marquis Argel asked calmly.

Kronos stared at Marquis Argel for a long time before finally saying, "Father, don't worry, I'm fine."

Upon hearing Kronos's words, Marquis Argel was taken aback, then smiled with relief. He hadn't expected his son to understand him.

"I never imagined that this trip out for training would lead to such significant growth in you. My decision was definitely worthwhile."

Kronos chuckled as he sat down opposite his father and said, "That's not all! I can now drink Sequence 6 Potion anytime, Father. I'm now in the same Sequence as you."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Argel was utterly shocked. He himself, who had read the Family Secret Manual, had taken so many years to cross Sequence 7.

He had thought his son might achieve this goal soon, but he really didn't expect it to be this fast—less than six months.

"What happened to you outside? Can you tell me? Of course, I don't mean to pry into your privacy, just tell me what you want me to know."

Marquis Argel is no simple boy either. In all these years, he is the only one in the entire family who can quickly digest Potion after reading the Family Secret Manual.

He naturally knew that there must be many secrets involved, whether it was Kronos's own special characteristics or the fortuitous encounters he later had, but it was best not to pry into such matters.

"Dad, actually, playing the Warlock method is quite effective. It allows you to digest Potion very quickly. I actually completed more than 70% of the progress by playing the Warlock."

"The reason I was able to digest it so quickly afterwards was because I received this."

With that, Kronos took out the Blasphemy Card and placed it on Marquis Argel's Table.

Compared to the Time Stone, the mysterious Lady Messenger, and the Ghost Empire, this Blasphemy Card is a trivial matter that one could easily let their loved ones know about.

Marquis Argel picked up the Playing Cards on the Table, turned them over and examined them several times, and finally asked with a slight hesitation, "These are the legendary Blasphemy Card made by Emperor Roselle, aren't they?"

Given the Argel Family's background, it's not surprising that they knew about the Blasphemy Card, but Kronos didn't expect his father to recognize them so easily.

"That's right, this is the Blasphemy Card, the Justiciar Pathway." As he said this, Kronos glanced furtively at his father, unsure if his father knew what the name meant.

Marquis Argel, as if he could see right through his son, didn't even look up and said directly, "You don't need to peek at me. If I didn't know this knowledge, our family would have existed for so many years in vain."

Upon hearing this, Kronos jumped up from his chair. "Just how many books and pieces of knowledge in the family do I not know? You lied to me when I was a kid, saying I'd read all the books in the house, but every time I advance a Sequence, a few books I haven't read pop up."

Hearing Kronos's furious words, Marquis Argel looked up and laughed, "Since you know the name 'Justiciar,' you should know that this level of knowledge is not something you should know, nor is it something I should know."

"The family possesses a wealth of High Sequence knowledge; after all, our Ancestor was once Executives member of the Moses Ascetic Order. However, we lack High Sequence experts, so only the family head knows this knowledge. It's not the right time for you to know it yet."

Yes, this style is very similar to the original Moses Ascetic Order, exploring knowledge, but also respecting knowledge, so naturally they would not misuse it.

Kronos knew the Marquis was right, so he sat back down in his chair and continued his statement:

"Emperor Roselle was initially Beyonder of the Savant Pathway, but it seems he eventually turned to our Pathway. Legend has it that this set of Blasphemy Card was created by him during his Sequence One phase, and he was Sequence One of the same Pathway as us."

"Therefore, this Playing Cards contains many of Emperor Roselle's understandings of Beyonder Ability, which are completely different from the Family Secret Manual and the thinking of those family predecessors."

At this point in Kronos's words, the Marquis Argel finally understood.

"So you optimized the family's Spell based on the ideas recorded on this Playing Cards, which accelerated the Potion's digestion?"

Seeing that Marquis Argel understood, Kronos didn't say anything more and simply nodded.

"Dad, take this Playing Cards and study it. Although it only records the Potion Formula for each Sequence in this Pathway, the knowledge on it represents Emperor Roselle's understanding of these powers. With it, you'll quickly master the Sequence 6 Potion and advance."

Marquis Argel was actually a very proud man, and he was very unwilling to accept becoming stronger through his son's help, but he did not object immediately.

Because his son is about to reach Sequence 6, it would be even more embarrassing to be in the same Sequence as his son.

Seeing that Marquis Argel did not raise any explicit objections, Kronos roughly judged his attitude, so he smiled happily.

"Then it's settled. You can keep this card for a few days. Remember to return it to me later; it's quite important to me."

"Then I'm going to that Small Church to drink the Potion. I can handle it myself, so you don't need to come with me. I'll be fine on my own."

After saying these words, Kronos left Marquis Argel's Study happily, unaware of the Marquis Argel's pleased smile behind him.

"You little rascal, not bad! You'll be in the same Sequence as me soon, and you can even help me now."

The rest of the process was completely familiar to him, because Kronos already had a scroll of the Potion Scroll Professor, which was given to him by Marquis Argel before he left Backlund, so he didn't even need to specially make a new one.

Upon arriving at the familiar Small Church, Kronos methodically cleaned the area, began to pray, and finally poured the Potion in his hand into his mouth, drinking it all in one gulp.

This Potion was unexpectedly bitter. As soon as it entered his mouth, Kronos felt a bitter taste rush straight to the top of his head.

After the bitterness reached its extreme, Kronos even felt that the taste had turned into pain. If a picture of Kronos's face could be taken at this moment, it would definitely be his first embarrassing moment in history.

The current Kronos is much stronger than before when he took the Potion, so he can still sense some things.

In the early stages, the Mystery Pryer Pathway offers very few offensive options; almost all advancements come from their own Spirituality and the Eyes of Mystery Prying.

Therefore, the effects of Potion on the body are concentrated on the brain and eyes; it's unlikely that the full-body paralysis seen when advancing to Melee Scholar would occur.

Although his mouth tasted incredibly bitter, Kronos could feel a warm current flowing from his stomach all the way to his head.

Not long after, the entire advancement process was completely completed, and Kronos officially became a Sequence 6 Beyonder, a Scroll Professor.

The Scroll Professor Scroll Professor is actually more like an enhanced version of Warlock, except that he can seal his thoroughly researched skills within Scroll, which he can use at any time.

Even if Warlock is incredibly fast, Spell still takes time, but Scroll are different; they can be used as soon as they're pulled out.

Therefore, with sufficient preparation, a single Scroll Professor can achieve the effect of firing a barrage of arrows.

There is only one drawback: making Scroll has a cost, because Scroll themselves are made from Spirituality objects.

But as those familiar with the situation know, this drawback is hardly a big problem for Kronos.

Forget about how much money the Argel Family had; the "Startup Funds" that Marquis Argel gave Kronos was enough for Kronos to make a mountain of Scroll.

Moreover, was the creation of the Scroll really for Kronos's own benefit?

This is to enhance the strength of the family heir, to better complete the family's succession, and to maintain the family's reputation.

It's so unfair to make Kronos bear the expenses for such a noble and righteous cause.

Wouldn't it be unfilial not to involve the Marquis Argel in this?

Using these arguments, Kronos was fully confident of winning over the Marquis Argel.

Although the Marquis Argel has been navigating the business world for so many years, his skills in making empty promises and manipulating emotions must be highly refined.

But when his own son comes before him with a whole host of futuristic ideas and pronouncements, even the most cunning old fox would be confused, and stumbling is inevitable.

Otherwise, where did such a large sum of "Startup Funds" come from?

He'll probably figure out what methods his son used later, but can he really hold his son accountable?
