With the help of the power of the mysterious space above the Gray Fog, Klein quickly regained his mental state and continued reading the second chapter of " Spirit World Observations ".

The owner of the notebook, Travel from the Abraham Family, claimed that when he Roaming into the depths of the Spirit World, he encountered an old man dressed in a lemon-yellow robe.

The old man's body was semi-transparent, remarkably similar to the surrounding Spirit World beings, yet his attitude was unexpectedly kind.

The Travel from the Abraham Family spoke with the old man for a while and was surprised to learn that the other party was actually the " Yellow Light " Venithan, one of the Seven Lights covering the highest point of the Spirit World.

Venithan told the Abraham Family Travel that his traits were rationality and adaptability, which were symbols of the Astrology field, and that the corresponding gemstone was emerald.

He mentioned with considerable concern a prophecy from his own experience:

"If a gaze were cast from the Starry Sky, the earth would shatter into pieces, and everything in the world would cease to exist."

He believed this was the final Apocalypse that would come within two hundred years, from which no living being could escape.

The Travel from the Abraham Family seemed unconcerned and didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he inquired about how to break the curse on his family's bloodline.

" Yellow Light " Venithan told him that in a sense, it was indeed a curse, but it was fundamentally different from the curses in mysticism. The solution would be found in the future, in the hands of an " Apprentice " who received help from Hidden Existence.

He also warned the Travel from the Abraham Family that the day the curse was lifted would be the beginning of Abraham's true tribulation.

As for what kind of calamity it was, he said he didn't know, but believed it involved a great being at the level of gods.

In the second chapter of " Spirit World Observations," the author of the notes also mentioned another matter spoken by " Yellow Light " Venithan: the Seven Lights, the rulers of the " Brotherhood of Pure Light," often enter the real world, transforming into humans in different ways to teach relevant knowledge. Since the Fifth Epoch, many mentors in various fields have been their incarnations. For example, D. Forsman, the greatest Astrology of the last thousand years who definitively proved that the current world is a planet, is the human incarnation of " Yellow Light " Venithan.

Based on this, the owner of the notebook made a conjecture: Roselle Gustav, might be the embodiment of that pure light.

No, he's not... If you really want to think of it that way, then he's probably a Green Light... Klein raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

Based on this, he judged that the owner of the notebook could not be an ancient Beyonder, and judging from the fact that the other party did not address Roselle as the Great Emperor, this Travel to the Spirit World should have taken place during the period when Roselle was the Consul, or during the period when he had just become emperor and had not yet gained widespread recognition.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Beyonder of the Abraham Family would refuse to recognize any emperor other than Tudor.

A Travel who can roam the Spirit World —that's quite a high Sequence. And if he were High-Sequence powerhouse, Mr. "The Door" would have been freed long ago, and the so-called bloodline curse would have ceased to exist. Therefore, the owner of the notebook is Sequence 5 Beyonder, or Sequence 6 with the help of magical items... Although the Abraham Family has declined, it is not weak... Why is the prophecy of " Yellow Light " Venithan so similar to some of the claims made by the Demoness Sect and the Aurora Order? The Apocalypse is inevitable? Judging from the timeline I just calculated, the Apocalypse is only twenty or thirty years away? Klein frowned and thought.

Roselle became consul in 1173, which is now November 1349, a difference of 176 years. The " Yellow Light " Venithan prophesied that the end would be within two hundred years. Considering that Klein's calculation was only a range, it could be 24 to 50 years away from the Apocalypse ( Roselle became emperor in 1192 and was assassinated in 1198).

Although the first two chapters of " Spirit World Observations " didn't contain any practical knowledge, they thoroughly broadened his horizons, allowing him to learn about many things in the Spirit World, including the existence of the Seven Lights and the " Brotherhood of Pure Light."

"So, when I was promoted and transformed into a spirit, during the corresponding rituals, those pure rays of light that I could see at extremely high altitudes, containing countless knowledge, were the 'pure light' of the Spirit World. Moreover, they were alive and had their own thoughts... How wondrous..."

"These two chapters of ' Spirit World Observations ' aren't entirely devoid of practical knowledge. At least they taught me that the true name of ' Yellow Light ' is Venithan, that its corresponding gemstone is emerald, and many other details. I can use this information to design some Mysticism Ritual that point to it... but for now, it's not very useful..."

Klein pondered for a moment, closed the copied notebook, and returned to the real world.

He had something more important to do than communicating with the Spirit Channeling " Yellow Light " Venithan.

Klein took out a piece of stationery, picked up a pen, and wrote a letter to the inventor, Leppard, inquiring about the progress of the bicycle patent application, why it had not yet been successful, and whether he needed to find a Lawyer for help. With the establishment of the " Magician Code," the complete digestion of the Potion would take no more than two months, and he had to save up enough extraordinary materials to advance to Sequence 6 " Faceless " as soon as possible.

Of these, " The Sun " might provide one item for free due to " Eye of All-Black," but Klein will still have to figure out the other one himself.

As far as he knew, the extraordinary materials corresponding to Sequence 6 were generally priced above 1500 pounds, and often there was no market for them.

Aside from the two main materials, the auxiliary materials include the blood of the Thousand-faced Hunter and the hair of the Deep-sea Naga, two extremely rare and Spirituality rich items, which are also quite expensive.

"Making money is so hard, spending it is so easy... I just hope Beyonder Characteristic ' Werewolf ' and ' Interrogator ' Beyonder Characteristic can be sold... Not a single Soli or penny can be wasted..." Klein finished preparing the envelope and affixed the stamp.

He doesn't need to count; he already knows how much money he has.

624 pounds in banknotes plus five 1-pound gold coins, plus seven Soli notes and some copper pennies.

"Oh, and there's also the 600 gold pounds that Miss ' Magician ' and Miss 'Hugh' will pay for the ' Sheriff's ' Beyonder Characteristic trait. I hope they can raise the money as soon as possible..." Klein silently wished the two ladies well.

"You said that in the new circle of Beyonder you joined, there are two extraordinary materials for the ' Sheriff ' Potion, and the price is very reasonable, only 600 pounds in total?" Hugh opened his eyes wide and asked back in rapid succession.

She had just returned from the East Borough, investigating who had recently inquired about Capim.

"Yes, it's a very reputable seller. The only problem is that the evaluation is very strict, and I can't get you into that circle in a short time." Fors spoke the truth completely.

"That's great!" Hugh didn't doubt his friend and excitedly took two steps forward.

Suddenly, her expression crumbled:

"But I don't have enough money..."

Fors's lips twitched slightly as he said:

How many gold pounds do you have now?

"Including the initial fee of 30 pounds for this job, that's 310 pounds in total, still short half!" Hugh scratched his short blond hair. "Let me think, let me think where I can borrow 300 pounds... Banks won't lend to a bounty Hunter like me, and those moneylenders charge too much interest... Maybe I could try Miss Audrey?"

She had heard from her friend that she had recently bought the " Trickmaster " Potion recipe for a whopping 450 pounds, so she never even considered borrowing money from Fors.

"Why are we all so poor?" Fors couldn't help but sigh. "Miss Audrey hasn't been out much lately; she seems to be busy with other things. Borrowing money from her might not be timely. Um... we can try contacting Viscount Glaint first. If that's not possible, I'll cover it for you. I still have 430 pounds; that should be enough."

Hugh blinked, then abruptly lowered his head and said in a deep voice:

Fors, you're so kind.

"Once I'm promoted to ' Sheriff,' I'll be able to earn even more money!"

Fors smiled and shook his head:

"So, how about you tidy up the room today?"

City of Silver.

Derrick left the training field and returned home.

He had just asked the exploration team members when they could be released from quarantine and received the answer, "When the lightning subsides today."

Sitting down at the old wooden table, Derrick once again scrutinized his planned scheme, recalling a reminder from Mr. " The Hanged Man ":

"If you don't have a suitable Spectator to testify for you, then you might as well use the Beyonder are monitoring you."

But how would I know when I'd be monitored...? Mr. The Hanged Man spoke with certainty, but not in enough detail... Derrick had many doubts, but couldn't find a way to confirm them.

Although he was very embarrassed to ask Mr. The Fool for advice on this matter again, he mustered his courage because it concerned the survival of City of Silver.

He recited the name of the Fool in a low voice and briefly described the difficulties he was facing.

After a while, he saw Mr. The Fool sitting in the middle of the boundless Gray Fog and heard his concise reply:

"Touch the items inside the metal box, and don't let it cause your heart to race more than three times. Be prepared in advance, and watch out for the source of the black line."

"So simple? "Derrick thanked Mr. The Fool with delight.

He adjusted his posture and quietly slipped his hand into a hidden pocket inside his clothes.

As the Wall of Spirituality was broken, Derrick's fingers pushed open the metal box and carefully probed inside.

Suddenly, he touched a cold object, and black, illusory lines appeared before his eyes.

At the same time, his mind went blank, and he felt as if a phantom roar was being frantically poured into his ears.

Derrick's body convulsed suddenly, and tears and snot streamed down his face from the pain.

He almost forgot what he was supposed to do, but luckily, his line of sight was exactly where the illusory black lines were converging.

There seems to be a shadow in that dark corner!

Derrick immediately withdrew his hand, as if he had touched a red-hot iron.

He lay down and convulsed as if struck by lightning, his mouth unable to close, saliva dripping down his face.

After several tens of seconds, Derrick recovered, closed the iron box again, and sealed it with Wall of Spirituality.

He stood up, took a sip of ice-cold water, and knew that someone was monitoring him.

After an unknown amount of time, Derrick suddenly heard a knocking sound at the door.

"Who?" he asked, looking somewhat bewildered.

A voice filled with laughter came from outside:

"I, Dark, and the exploration team have been released from quarantine."

"Aren't you eager to know what happened to us this time?"
