Sequence 0?
Is there a Sequence 0 above Sequence 1?
Sequence 0 equals God?
Each path can only have one Sequence 0? Is this the true meaning of the Divine Pathways?
Can an ordinary person gradually become a god by consuming the Potion, performing the proper ritual, and mastering the Acting Method to absorb Beyonder Characteristic?
That's truly blasphemous...
Could it be that in the end, the main ingredients of Potion will be the divinity, blood, and body of the " Eternal Blazing Sun "?
The diary entry on the last page was so dense with information that it nearly made Klein lose his mind and almost caused him to make an extra physical movement.
The twenty-two Divine Pathways correspond to twenty-two Sequence 0... Sequence 0, " The Sun," sounds incredibly powerful... Perhaps there's also a Sequence 0, " Death "? I wonder what the Sequence 0 names for the Goddess and the Lord of Storms are... According to Emperor Roselle's description, some parts are the same as the Major Arcana of the Tarot, but others are different. His " Card of Blasphemy " are based on Potion names... This can hardly be called Potion anymore...
Did the Great Emperor regret not choosing the " Seer," " Apprentice," or " Marauder " paths because their corresponding Sequence 0 hadn't yet been generated?
Why then did the symbolic deity " Hidden Sage " suddenly become personified?
What grand scheme is Roselle plotting at the end? He seems to be surrounded by enemies, and appears to be able to rely solely on that mysterious and ancient organization...
Is " Primordial Demoness " the Sequence 0 title in the Witch Pathway?
Klein gradually regained his composure and calmed the raging storm in his heart.
He knew he couldn't dwell on this; he had to get back to normal as soon as possible, otherwise members like " Justice " and " The Hanged Man " would notice something was wrong and sense something was amiss.
Mr. The Fool has been staring at that page of his diary for far too long!
He really wanted to get his hands on a " Card of Blasphemy " made by Emperor Roselle, to see what else it contained besides the Potion recipe for godhood and the corresponding ritual... Klein suppressed his shock and doubt, and made Roselle's diary disappear from his palm.
He tapped the edge of the long bronze table and looked to the side, saying:
"Miss Justice, you did a great job, resolving Bakerland in less than a week."
"What kind of compensation do you expect as agreed?"
" Bakerland is dead? So quickly?" Alger the Hanged Man had been away from the island for the past few days and hadn't received any relevant information, so he was quite surprised. This made Audrey, the " Justice " who was secretly observing, feel a sense of relief.
Even in Bayam, the capital of the City of Generosity Rorsted Archipelago, Alger might not be able to know in time, because the messages that could be transmitted by wire telegraph were limited. Unless the content was particularly urgent or important, it would always be delayed for several days before it was sent. Sometimes, the colonists of the Rorsted Archipelago would even have to wait one or two months to learn about the "latest" situation on the Northern Continent.
Suppressing his thoughts, the " The Hanged Man " looked at Mr. " The Fool " in the thick Gray Fog and said with a respectful yet humble tone:
"I'm sorry, I just got the people I needed, so I couldn't be of help."
"This is a commission, not a favor, so don't worry about it." Klein chuckled and turned his gaze back to Miss " Justice," waiting for her to state her desired reward.
May the goddess protect me, and Miss Justice's request won't be too difficult. It would be best if I could repay it with knowledge... I've learned a lot of amazing things from Roselle's diary... Klein prayed to the goddess.
Of course, he knew very well that with the Gray Fog blocking his way, the Evernight Goddess would not be able to hear his prayers.
Audrey rolled her eyes and considered for a few seconds.
Be honest, Audrey, and don't be greedy. You must stick to your principles! She smiled faintly.
"No, it should be that I still owe you, no, I owe you a debt of gratitude for your Blessed."
"The bounty for ' Admiral Hurricane ' Qilangos is a total of 30,000 gold pounds. I should give your Blessed 15,000 pounds. Of that, 10,000 pounds were spent on assassinating Bakerland, and I need to pay an additional 5,000 pounds. However, because of Bakerland's matter, my financial situation is not very good recently, and this reward will have to wait for a few months. Is that alright, Mr. The Fool?"
After saying that, Audrey quietly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a small weight had been lifted from her heart.
Although discussing money and calculating rewards in front of Mr. The Fool is not very appropriate, I cannot hide the gains of His Blessed... Audrey sighed silently.
As for the large plantation worth over £8,000, it was a private gift, not a reward, given as a token of gratitude from the Duke Negan for his reminder.
5,000 pounds? I can get 5,000 pounds? The total bounty on Qilangos is a whopping 30,000 pounds! Klein was stunned for a moment.
He immediately fell into a fierce internal struggle.
Logically, I should give the reward to Mr. Azik, but I won't be able to contact him for a long time... Simply keeping the money is a waste... It's better to use this money to improve myself, and then offset the loss by providing assistance later... Klein made his decision after three seconds, and nodded slightly to Miss " Justice ":
"Can."
Upon hearing Mr. The Fool's reply, Audrey maintained her elegant posture, but felt completely relaxed.
At this moment, Klein, leaning back in his chair, said no more and secretly Manipulation the trumpet with a superior attitude.
"World" coughed lightly and said:
"Can I speak now?"
" Justice " Audrey glanced at Mr. The Fool, and seeing that he made no comment, nodded slightly and said:
"Can."
At the same time, she read the information again and made a judgment on the new member, Mr. World.
When I mentioned that Ambassador Bakerland's assassination stemmed from a commission I had accepted, he showed no surprise or astonishment... He either didn't know the importance of this matter, didn't understand the weight of an ambassador, or he was extremely composed, adept at concealing his emotions and body language... His lip movements and words didn't match, likely due to a translation by Mr. " The Fool," which prevented me from obtaining information about his original speech patterns and what language he usually spoke... A series of thoughts flashed through Audrey's mind, accompanied by Mr. "World's" hoarse voice:
"I desire the true root of the Mist Treant, at least 60 milliliters of its corresponding sap, as well as the Elven Spring Medullary Crystal and the complete spinal fluid of the Evil-patterned Black Panther."
"Can any of you provide information, or do you have any relevant clues?"
What do you want me to exchange for it?
Klein included the extraordinary ingredients the Apothecary needed in his commission to prevent the Tarot Club members from guessing the main ingredients of the recipe.
Before " Justice " and " The Hanged Man " could react, the previously silent " The Sun " spoke:
"I know where the Mist Treant are, and I can help you obtain the materials, but that will have to wait until I complete my promotion, gain sufficient strength, and join the appropriate patrol squad."
He has been accumulating merits and rewards recently, striving to obtain the main materials for the " Light Suppliant " from the City of Silver government and the private trading market, but the current shortage is still quite large.
As expected of the City of Silver, teeming with Monster and fraught with peril... Klein inwardly praised, then asked "The World":
"So what do you hope to gain?"
" The Sun " Derrick answered without hesitation:
"A weapon that suits me and can enhance my combat abilities."
He didn't mention the materials required for becoming a " Light Suppliant " because City of Silver has them all, and one can obtain them through their own efforts.
Upon hearing this request, Klein immediately thought of the rune steel sword that had appeared at the gathering of Beyonder organized by the old man " Eye of Wisdom ".
It is sharp enough, has the effect of exorcising evil and Purification, can be used for three years, and is worth 500 pounds, perfectly matching the description of " the Sun ".
Why didn't you say so earlier...? It's already been bought... Klein silently watched the members, while "The World" nodded and said:
"I will find a weapon that meets your requirements as soon as possible. This deal will be witnessed by Mr. ' The Fool '."
Klein nodded slightly in agreement.
At this moment, " Justice " Audrey glanced at " The Sun " and offered a reminder:
"Aside from the sap of the Mist Treant, all the materials Mr. 'World' requested are Sequence 7 Extraordinary, with a total value of approximately 500 to 700 pounds."
She felt that " The Sun " was naive and worried that he would be deceived by the profound "World" with a low-value weapon.
Although Mr. The Fool is fair and advocates for equivalent exchange, he can't stop it if both parties agree. After all, some items are of low value but urgently needed by someone, so a premium is normal... Audrey thought to herself.
"The recipe for Sequence 7 costs around 800 pounds. The Hanged Man," Alger added.
He has an instinctive aversion to new members.
Klein translated with great difficulty because he didn't know what the pound, as a currency unit, corresponded to in City of Silver; he could only draw an analogy using Sequence 9 Potion recipe.
"I understand, the Sun," Derrick nodded slightly, then added quietly, "... Thank you."
"The World" maintained its somber tone, offering no comment on what had just happened. Instead, it turned to " Justice " and " The Hanged Man," awaiting their response.
Audrey thought for a few seconds and said:
"The ' Psychiatrist ' Potion recipe, the corresponding extraordinary ingredients, hmm... this is Sequence 7 of the ' Spectator ' pathway."
"You can gather information first, no need to rush to buy. I'll act once I have clues about the Evil-patterned Black Panther and the Elven Spring Marrow Crystal. Um... if you're willing to exchange it for gold pounds, you can buy it anytime."
Although I don't have any money right now, I can still raise quite a bit if I really need it urgently... Audrey comforted herself.
" The Hanged Man," Alger pondered:
"The ' Sailor Pathway ' Sequence 6 ' Wind-blessed ' Potion recipe is more expensive than all the extraordinary materials you need combined."
"If you can find it, you can think about what the additional compensation would be in advance."
"I can't guarantee I can collect any of those materials for you, not even one of them, and you don't need to spend any money on it beforehand."
Wait, shouldn't Mr. " The Hanged Man " and the Church of the Lord of Storms have a very close relationship... He should be able to get the recipe for " Wind-blessed " normally, right? Is he trying to hide the fact that he's almost digested the " Navigator " Potion? Klein was taken aback.
"Okay, world," he replied in a low voice, then added, "I have another request."
