Audrey wasn't surprised by the " The Sun's" request: since City of Silver had popularized the " Acting Method," and judging by the time, the other party was probably close to the end of digesting it, so seeking subsequent Potion recipes was definitely one of the highest priorities.
Audrey wondered how she would Acting role of " Bard." Would she sing hymns every day? When faced with battle, would she retreat to the sidelines and use her songs to bring courage and strength to her companions? Or would she bless herself first, then charge forward with a mace and sword? She wondered if this would improve her singing ability; if so, she would definitely become an outstanding Singer or opera singer... Audrey pondered these thoughts with great interest, deliberately not rushing to express her opinion to show her difficulty and avoid " The Sun " raising the price at the last minute.
This wasn't part of her tutoring, nor was it something she learned at an extraordinary gathering; it was a technique she figured out on her own after becoming a " Mind Reader."
"I will find the Sequence 8 Potion recipe for the Bard's Path as soon as possible, but not today. Is that acceptable to you?" Audrey said cautiously, then glanced at the head of the ancient long table. "We can ask Mr. The Fool to be our witness."
At this moment, Klein smiled and said:
"Miss Justice, perhaps I can pay for the Light Suppliant formula for you."
Audrey's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded quickly and slightly:
"No problem! Then what should I offer in exchange?"
"I haven't decided yet..." Klein chuckled.
"There's no need to rush. My Blessed may need my help later."
His concern was simple: if Miss Justice obtained the " Light Suppliant " Potion recipe from her circle of Beyonder, wouldn't the knowledge he had gleaned from the " Eternal Blazing Sun," at the cost of nearly being burned alive, be completely wasted?
It's useless, at least not within the " Tarot Club "!
"Okay, I will do my best to help them!" Audrey promised cheerfully.
Klein pressed his hand down, and a yellowish-brown parchment appeared before him. On it was the recipe for the " Light Suppliant " Potion, including substitute ingredients and ancient names, all translated into Jotun:
"Main materials: one piece of Radiant Stone or Powder of Soul of the Scorching White, Blood of the Mirror Hedgehog or Heart of Lava Monster; Auxiliary materials: one Golden-edged The Sun Flower, three drops of Aconite Juice..."
With a gentle push, the parchment appeared before the " The Sun ".
Although he knew that even if he completely forgot, he could recall it by praying to Mr. The Fool, Derrick still recited the recipe earnestly, and after a while, he said:
"Miss Justice, we can talk about Dragon now."
"Mr. The Fool, I request a private conversation." Audrey quickly raised her hand.
Her original idea was for the " The Sun " to materialize the corresponding content onto paper for her, but this would make it inconvenient for her to ask questions. She would have to write it down and push it back to the other party, making the communication very complicated.
A one-on-one conversation? A truly one-on-one conversation, you probably wouldn't understand what " the Sun " is saying, and neither would " the Sun "... Klein nodded calmly.
"OK."
Within the Beyonder community, Hermes is essential knowledge, and Ancient Hermes is something that can be learned and is relatively popular. Jotun, Dragonese, Elvish, etc., are relatively niche, and few people understand them.
Before he could finish speaking, Klein blocked the " The Hanged Man," making him unable to see or hear him.
Alger was somewhat interested in information about the Dragon, but not to the point of being willing to pay the price to eavesdrop, so he remained silent and waited quietly.
Seeing Mr. The Fool gesture that they could begin communicating, " The Sun " Derrick paused for a few seconds, then organized his thoughts and said:
" The Dragon race is the mortal enemy of the Giant King's Court. They all look like enlarged lizards, covered in scales of different colors, with strong and powerful limbs and wings large enough to propel their massive bodies into rapid flight. They are the rulers of the sky."
"Some of them possess fire breath, some can control lightning, some inflict Corrosion, and some can create frost, but these are not the mainstream of the Dragon race. The most numerous Dragon are the Mind Dragon, represented by the King of Dragons Ankewelt. The Beyonder Pathway originating from the Mind Dragon is the Spectator; in the City of Silver, we generally call it the Dragon Pathway."
For similar transactions, Derrick initially planned to simply copy the history textbook from his general education course. However, after discovering that "Miss Justice," "Mr. The Hanged Man," and himself seemed to be from different "worlds," he gradually realized the value of the common history of City of Silver. Therefore, this time he only mentioned Dragon and did not talk about information related to Giant, Elf, Mutant, Phoenix, Vampire, etc.
" King of Dragons " Ankewelt... This matches the account in the church scriptures... Audrey nodded slightly, politely not interrupting " the Sun's " narration.
Derrick recalled the textbook and said:
"At that time, the most powerful and terrifying Dragon was the King of Dragons Ankewelt, also known as the Dragon of Imagination. In addition, his son, Alzuhod, was also a famous and powerful being who shrouded the sky and looked down on the earth and the sea. His title was Dragon of Nightmare."
"There is a legend about the Dragon of Imagination Ankewelt: whatever it imagines will surely materialize, the kingdom it fantasizes about will surely descend into the material world, and the future it proclaims will surely unfold and become reality."
This... Klein, who was listening in, suddenly frowned. If " Justice " Audrey hadn't been listening intently to " The Sun's" words, she would have definitely noticed his unusual behavior, even through the thick Gray Fog.
The description he just heard reminded him of the Sealed Artifact "008"!
The proclaimed future is bound to unfold... and the characteristics do match up somewhat! Klein leaned back in his chair, seemingly more relaxed, but actually becoming more focused.
"The Dragon of Imagination, how cool is that... This is the manifestation of the gods!" Audrey's eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.
Derrick paused for a few seconds, then continued:
"Its son, the Dragon of Nightmare Alzuhod, is equally terrifying. It can control the minds of every creature, making them act according to its own will, and these creatures are hard to detect, believing that these are their true thoughts. It will also weave real nightmares in reality, causing countless beings to unconsciously participate, and then giving them the cruelest and most terrifying endings."
"Legend has it that it particularly loves playing pranks. It will make a prince kiss a princess awake, but the princess will already be half-rotten when she awakens. It will make girls from ordinary families put on dancing shoes and dance in front of the prince, but they will never be able to stop until they die. It will create all sorts of coincidences, causing the Fate of many living beings to turn into tragedy."
Various coincidences... This sounds more like the Sealed Artifact "008"... Of course, I don't know much about that Sealed Artifact... Klein restrained the urge to reach out and stroke his chin, making himself look like an ancient well.
"What a vicious Dragon... but its abilities are quite interesting," Audrey, half sighing and half excited.
Is this the future of the " Spectator " pathway? No, I should call it the " Dragon " pathway! I don't want to switch to another Sequence! Audrey couldn't wait to become Sequence 7 " Psychiatrist " and continue her rapid ascent.
" The Sun," Derrick replied sincerely:
"Two or three thousand years have passed since the history of the Dragon race and the Giant King. What I know comes from textbooks and legends, and I cannot guarantee its accuracy."
"At least your history hasn't been interrupted," Audrey said reassuringly. "And then?"
"And then? The Lord Who Created Everything awoke, and the famous Dragon, such as the Dragon of Imagination and the Dragon of Nightmare, fell from the sky, losing everything, including their lives. This caused the sun to go without light for forty-nine days, countless volcanoes to erupt, and floods to ravage everything. The Dragon race declined from then on and could only retreat to various dangerous places. After that, the Giant King's Court was also destroyed by the Lord," Derrick said with a heavy tone.
This isn't the history I know... Wasn't it the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom who led humanity to defeat the Dragon, defeat the Giant, and kill their respective kings? Audrey was confused, feeling that time and history were somewhat out of sync.
Klein was also full of doubts, feeling that the true history was full of mysteries, especially since this was the Second Age, which was even older than the ancient ones.
Much of the mythology recorded in church scriptures is likely false, but the history circulating in City of Silver cannot be entirely trusted either... What would the true history be like? He collected his thoughts and smiled as he spoke:
"Are you done talking?"
"That's all I know. The Sun," Derrick replied, feeling slightly guilty.
He felt that the information he provided didn't quite match the value of the " Light Suppliant " Potion recipe.
Audrey took a quiet breath and smiled slightly.
"I'm very satisfied."
"I know where I'm headed..." she added happily to herself.
After the members chatted for a while, Klein announced the end of this week's " Tarot Club ".
After seeing off "Miss Justice " and the others, he didn't linger and quickly returned to his bedroom to minimize the risk of being noticed.
Inside the Earl Hall's luxurious villa in Queens Borough.
Audrey paced back and forth a few times in a cheerful mood, intending to reward Susie with some dog treats.
Just then, she heard someone knocking on the door.
From the footsteps and the corresponding rhythm, she recognized that it was her personal maid Annie.
"Come in." Audrey glanced at the mirror, straightened her hair, and straightened her back.
Annie came in with a piece of paper and smiled:
"Miss, your telegram is from the Southern Continent."
Southern Continent? Alfred Audrey suddenly thought of her brother, happily took the paper, and stared intently at it:
This was indeed a telegram sent by her second Alfred Hall, from the eastern coast of the Balam Empire in the Southern Continent. It read:
"Two Rainbow Salamander have been found. Please wait to receive them."
But I don't need it anymore... Audrey was stunned for a moment, blinked, and suddenly turned her head to look at Susie.
The golden retriever wagged its tail, looking completely bewildered.
