"There's a high probability of this happening..." Klein Manipulation the "world," chuckled darkly.
"Yes, I don't yet have the Potion recipe for ' Wind-blessed,' and I don't think I can find a way to obtain it in the short term."
"However, I do have a partial recipe for Sequence 4 Potion."
"Although it's incomplete, I think you should be well aware of its value. It's worth at least 10,000 gold pounds, and most of the time, you can't buy it even with double the price. This is a crucial step in a qualitative change for humanity."
"So, are you interested? The spinal fluid of the Evil-patterned Black Panther is worth between 5 and 7 pounds, and the Elven Spring Medullary Crystal worth 3 to 4 pounds. I think you'll also need to prepare an additional 9 pounds in cash or equivalent items."
Klein had long suspected that Sequence 4 " The Unshadowed " of the " The Sun " pathway could be interchanged with equivalent Sequence of the " Sailor " and " Reader " pathways. This suspicion was gradually confirmed by Mr. A's request and Roselle's diary, and even extended to the suspicion that the " Mystery Pryer " and " Spectator " pathways could also join this group.
Therefore, he believed that the incomplete formula of the " Unshadowed " was an irresistible temptation for the " The Hanged Man " of the " Sailor " pathway.
It's alright if I can't come up with something worth 9 pounds right away. I can pay it off in installments with Mr. The Fool as my witness... Klein silently added to himself.
He currently lacks the spinal fluid of the Evil-patterned Black Panther, so he doesn't mind the other party buying on credit, since he doesn't need to worry about them running away.
Well, there are also potential risks. If Mr. " The Hanged Man " suddenly dies, I'll suffer a huge loss... Faced with such a significant deal, Klein couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"A fragmented recipe for Sequence 4 Potion? A fragmented recipe for the path to Demigod? This is something money can't buy!" " Justice " Audrey's eyes lit up, and she asked, unable to hide her curiosity, before " The Hanged Man " could answer:
"Mr. 'World,' may I ask a question? Which route is the Sequence 4 formula from? If it's inconvenient to answer, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Mr. "World" actually possesses a Sequence 4 Potion recipe, even if it's incomplete, it's still astonishing... No wonder Mr. " The Fool " brought him into the Tarot Club! He's not just a simple Beyonder... Um, Hugh and Fors's assessment mission is over, and Mr. " The Fool " hasn't mentioned whether or not to let them join, hmm... He must have other considerations, perhaps he needs to observe for a while longer. I can't ask him directly, that would be impolite... For a moment, Audrey thought about many things.
Miss Justice's question was exactly what Klein needed, and he had "The World" answer in a hoarse voice:
I was already planning to say it.
"That's the Sequence 4 ' Unshadowed ' Potion recipe from the ' The Sun ' pathway."
" The Sun " approach? Derrick glanced at Mr. "The World" sitting at the bottom of the long bronze table, his eyes flashing with an instant burst of fervor and longing.
However, he remained silent, because he knew he was still far from the gate to becoming a Demigod, and his limited resources should first be used to strengthen himself.
This is the City of Silver's style of doing things, only caring about the present, because for their residents, there is always the possibility of having no future.
" Unshadowed... Justice," Audrey nodded gracefully, speaking with delight, "Thank you for your answer, Mr. 'World'."
She felt she had learned some very important information.
" The Unshadowed... the Hanged Man," Alger murmured softly, then calmly replied, "I'm sorry, I don't need it."
No need? Klein was stunned.
This was completely different from the reaction he had imagined, from the script he had envisioned!
His stunned silence indirectly caused "the world" to display an incredulous blankness, and it took several seconds before he said:
"You can owe a portion first. With Mr. ' The Fool ' as your witness, I believe you will definitely make up the rest."
"No, I really don't need it. The Hanged Man," Alger shook his head.
No need... really no need... He was very confident that he would definitely gain the favor and attention of the Church of Storms in the future and be directly granted the corresponding Potion? Or, did he actually have Sequence 4 Potion recipe from the " Sailor " pathway? Named " Catastrophe Interrer "? Klein quickly thought of two possibilities.
What to do? Should I trade him the formula for the " Witch," or rather, the " Demoness of Pleasure "? Klein silently mocked himself, deliberately silencing "the World" for a few seconds before speaking:
"Other Potion recipes, or some secrets I know?"
"For example... the secret of the top layer of the Sequence."
Alger, the " The Hanged Man," shifted his posture slightly, carefully considering his answer:
"I already know some secrets of the top levels of the Sequence. How can you ensure that the two don't overlap, and how can you be sure that the secret you're talking about has the same value as the spinal fluid of the Evil-patterned Black Panther and the medullary crystals of the Elven Spring?"
"We'll each give the top-level secrets of the Sequence to Mr. ' The Fool,' who will compare them for duplicates and confirm their value. Mr. ' The Fool,' is that alright?" Klein asked himself Manipulation "The World."
Immediately, he said in a condescending manner:
"Can."
Alger nodded slowly and said, "I have no further questions. Let's begin."
I really want to know the secrets of the top of the Sequence... but I don't have any extra money to buy it lately... " Justice " Audrey looked enviously at "The World" and " The Hanged Man " each manifesting a piece of parchment.
Having never worried about money since childhood, she finally experienced the taste of "poverty".
Soon, Klein obtained the contents written by the two members.
He first looked at the parchment that undoubtedly belonged to the " The Hanged Man," and found that its contents were very simple, consisting of only one sentence:
"The path to godhood lies hidden at the top of the Sequence."
Phew... thank goodness, otherwise I would have had to switch to other knowledge... Klein carefully examined the parchment of "the world" for a few moments, then chuckled softly:
"Not repeated."
"For most Beyonder, the secrets offered by Mr. 'The World' are of little value, but to some, they are of paramount importance, beyond monetary measure."
Upon hearing this conclusion, Alger, the " The Hanged Man," was immediately plunged into a dilemma.
For him, acquiring those two extraordinary materials at the same time was also a considerable burden; he would have to sell many valuable items to obtain them.
Paying such a high price just to hear a secret that might be of little use to him? Alger thought for ten or twenty seconds and said:
"Mr. The Fool, could you give me a little more guidance? I'm at a loss."
Unable to decide? Klein's lips twitched slightly, realizing that his words, spoken to maintain his image, had backfired and had a negative effect. He quickly considered his words and smiled slightly:
"His description is a detailed supplement to the secret you know."
A detailed supplement? A detailed supplement to the path to godhood? Without further hesitation, Alger the Hanged Man turned to look at the "world" and said succinctly and forcefully:
"Make a deal."
He immediately added:
"I will exchange the spinal fluid of the Evil-patterned Black Panther and the Elven Spring Medullary Crystal for you this week."
"Of course, that's assuming they appear at the Pirate Festival. Although the probability is high, we still have to believe that anything can happen. In that case, it might be postponed until next week, the week after, or even next month. Please rest assured, I will definitely keep my promise."
"No problem, with Mr. ' The Fool ' as my witness, I have nothing to worry about, world," he replied hoarsely.
After they confirmed the deal, Klein materialized a piece of parchment in front of the Hanged Man.
Alger eagerly lowered his head and began to read each word with great thirst:
"There are Sequence above Sequence 1!"
" The Sequence is the Sequence in which the true God resides!"
"This can also be achieved through corresponding Potion and rituals."
" The Sequence? The Sequence where the true god resides!" Alger the Hanged Man, was first taken aback, then shocked, and then silently murmured with relief and joy:
"So that's how it is..."
"I understand, I get it!"
He quietly took a breath, leaned back in his chair, and acted as if nothing had happened.
That secret must be amazing... Even Mr. " The Hanged Man " was a little flustered... " Justice " Audrey lingered, shifting her gaze to " The Sun " diagonally opposite her, and said:
"Mr. ' The Sun,' I remember you said that City of Silver has Sequence 9, Sequence, and Sequence 7 Potion recipes for the Dragon Pathway?"
"Yes, the Sun," Derrick nodded honestly, "The name of the Sequence 7 Potion is ' Psychoanalyst '."
"What price would I have to pay if I wanted to obtain it?" Audrey asked reservedly.
" The Sequence 7 Potion recipe for the ' The Sun ' pathway," Derrick answered without hesitation.
" Justice," Audrey nodded slightly.
I'll try my best to collect it.
Hmm... Hugh and Fors mentioned that at Mr. A's gathering, there was an Beyonder with the " The Sun " pathway, at least Sequence 7, skilled in Purification and exorcism. Once things calm down, we could try starting from there... Also, attend more of the gatherings in the abandoned teaching building of the medical school, and try to make contact with the members of the Psychology Alchemists... Walking on two legs is definitely more stable than walking on one... Thoughts flashed through Audrey's mind, but she suddenly realized that even with clues to the formula, she couldn't grasp it.
Because she has been in a financial crisis for the past few months, she can barely make ends meet.
The recipe for Sequence 7 is worth around 1 pound, which is achievable with some effort. Hmm... It's already January, and the New Year is almost here. I'll officially be an adult then, and I'll have a lot more wealth to spend freely... Or, should I exchange it for the knowledge taught by Mr. The Fool? I wonder what his attitude is towards this... Audrey's thoughts gradually wandered.
She decided to ask Mr. The Fool again once there was hope for the formula.
The transaction ended there. Klein had intended to exchange his knowledge for a magical item with minimal risks, but after sensing the Hanged Man's pained expression, he knew that the other party would pay a considerable price for those two extraordinary materials, and probably wouldn't have much left over. He could only regretfully give up.
As soon as the free discussion began, Alger, the " The Hanged Man," took the initiative to bring it up:
"The fleet of ' Admiral Hurricane ' Qilangos has been subdued, and a new pirate general has been born."
