Cherwood Borough, 22 Hope Street, Hat Trick Inn.
Outside Room 2016.
Fors directly passed through the wall without attracting anyone's attention. Then, she knocked on the door according to the agreed rhythm.
Before long, Dorian Gray Abraham, who had broad shoulders and thick arms and was dressed in a black formal suit, unlocked the door and turned the knob.
The gentleman quickly looked around and made way for Fors to enter.
"I never expected you to become a Scribe so quickly …" After closing the door, Dorian carefully checked the door lock before turning around and sighing.
By the standards of this era, he was already considered a middle-aged man, but he was still a Sequence 7 Astrologer. He had no hope of advancing.
As for his student, Fors Wall, she had only taken about a year to go from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6.
When comparing the two, Dorian couldn't help but sigh and feel sad.
The bloodline of the House of Abraham was supposed to be noble and enviable, but now, it was a heavy curse that left him depressed.
"It's all because of your good teaching, Teacher." Although Fors didn't like to go out and preferred to stay at home, she would still receive invitations from nobles from time to time. She was a best-selling author who participated in high society's literary salons, so it wasn't to the extent that she didn't know how to speak. Furthermore, she had indeed received a lot of help from her teacher, be it knowledge, money, formulas, or ingredients.
Dorian glanced at her and shook his head with a smile.
"It's not like you're the only student I've taught. In my memory, there's only one person who can compare to you in terms of advancement speed."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"Next, your goal is Sequence 5 Traveler, and I have higher expectations for you. I hope that you can obtain godhood and become a Sequence 4 Secrets Sorcerer.
"Of course, I also have a request. That is to wait until you really become a demigod before attempting to pray to a certain hidden existence. Listen to 'His' answer and figure out what 'He' is saying.
"There's indeed a certain level of danger, but for a Sequence 4 demigod, as long as one has the ability to withstand it, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Teacher, is this answer very important to you?" Fors knew what was going on, but she still pretended to be curious and confused.
Dorian was silent for a few seconds, then let out a long sigh.
"It's very important. My parents, my brothers, my sisters, my children, too many people have sacrificed their lives in pursuit of this answer, but they have obtained nothing …
"Don't worry, the reason why we paid such a huge price is because there is an ancient curse hidden in our family's bloodline, and you are not related to us by blood.
"I don't expect to find a way to break the curse in my generation, but I hope to know where it came from, and what is the cause of my death …"
At this point, Dorian took a deep breath and didn't continue.
For some reason, at this moment, Fors directly felt the weight that had been accumulated generation after generation for thousands of years.
It was really hard for her to imagine what kind of pain it would be for a person's grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, and children to die directly or indirectly because of the same curse.
Thinking of how her teacher had taken care of her, Fors, who had only received this care and love from her elders in recent years, opened and closed her eyes, lowered her head, and nodded vigorously.
"I will work hard."
Dorian put away her emotions and nodded gently.
"The thing that's most commendable about you is your kindness."
Fors was a little embarrassed, and she changed to a word that her teacher had mentioned.
"Family?"
She remembered that her teacher hadn't told her about the House of Abraham. He had pretended that he, Lawrence, Aulisa, and the others were members of a secret organization.
In order to distinguish between what her teacher had said and what she had learned on the Tarot, Fors had carefully sorted out the information before she left, in case she accidentally revealed information that she shouldn't have known.
Dorian answered simply.
"In order to solve the problem of the curse, my family has joined that organization."
He then changed the topic.
"Why did you move in such a hurry this time?"
"We were targeted by the official Beyonders." Fors first told the truth before complaining about the postman.
Dorian didn't say anything else and began to set up the ritual. She summoned the Void Creature, Malmax, who loved music, and made him spit out three items.
The first was a crystal that was so transparent that it was almost illusory, the second was an ancient goatskin, and the third was a small hunter's backpack.
"This is the Beyonder characteristic left behind by a Traveler. With it, you don't need to gather additional main ingredients. This is the Traveler potion formula. This backpack contains the corresponding supplementary ingredients. If you don't have a good way to preserve them, try to digest the Scribe potion within half a year. Otherwise, their spirituality will be completely lost …" Dorian handed the items in her hand to Fors.
"Thank you, Teacher," Fors said sincerely.
Then, she unfolded the goatskin and quickly scanned through the potion formula, focusing on the ritual.
"Set up special coordinates in four completely different places in the depths of the spirit world that are very far from each other."
"What's the purpose of this ritual?" Fors thought for a few seconds and asked her teacher.
"After consuming the Traveler potion, you will uncontrollably begin to roam the spirit world. By the time you gain basic control of your powers, you will realize that you have lost your way. At that time, you can use the four special coordinates to return to the real World. Otherwise, you will be trapped in the depths of the spirit world for a long period of time. Not only is it dangerous, it will also assimilate you, making you lose your rationality and become a creature that relies on the spirit world." Although Dorian had no hope of becoming a Traveler herself, she had seen students advance to Sequence 5 before.
"Then there should be other alternatives …" Fors muttered as though she was in thought.
"Yes." Dorian nodded. "Previously, the organization had an item that allowed people to return to the real world directly from the spirit world. Unfortunately, it was lost."
Without waiting for Fors to ask, Dorian said,
"If, and I'm saying if, you really become a demigod and fulfill that wish of mine, I will hand over an important item that I wield to you. This is a teacher's wish for you."
One of the powerful Sealed Artifacts of the House of Abraham? Fors had some guesses, but she didn't dare to promise anything.
She continued as before, "I'll work hard."
Following that, she continued the topic and asked curiously,
"Teacher, you just mentioned that Sequence 4 is Secrets Sorcerer. Then what about Sequence 3, Sequence 2, and Sequence 1?"
Dory gave a laugh as he settled in
"You're only Sequence 6.
"Yes, Sequence 3 is Wanderer. Sequence 2 is Planeswalker. Sequence 1's potion name is Key of Stars.
"Heh heh, thankfully you mentioned this problem. I actually forgot to organize a list of things to take note of when exploring the spirit world. These are things that you have to remember after becoming a Traveler.
"How about this? I'll stay another night. Come to me tomorrow to get the information."
Fors agreed as she ruminated over the names of the High-Sequence Beyonder potions of the Apprentice pathway.
"Alright, Teacher."
After instructing her on these matters, Dorian paced back and forth a few times. After some thought, she exhorted again,
"There will be a certain attraction between Beyonder characteristics of the same pathway. It's not obvious at Lower Sequences, but the higher the Sequence, the stronger it is.
"Sometimes, this attraction won't be directly felt by you. It will make you unknowingly approach a High-Sequence Beyonder of the same pathway. When you become a Traveler, you have to constantly pay attention to such matters. "
Upon saying that, Dorian paused for a moment.
"There aren't many demigods of the Apprentice pathway still alive. Among them, you need to be especially careful of a man named Botis. He's the Saint of Secrets of the Aurora Order. Just like Louis, he's a traitor of our organization. I'll give you his portrait tomorrow."
Boutis … Fors repeated the name her teacher had mentioned in her heart.
At the same time, she had a new understanding of her encounter with the Aurora Order's Oracle, Louis Wien.
Perhaps it wasn't a chance encounter, but an attraction between Beyonder characteristics. Her teacher had a sufficiently powerful Sealed Artifact of the Apprentice pathway!
Fors quickly suppressed this thought and began to consult her on various matters regarding acting as a Scribe.
…
City of Silver, Berg household.
So there's a way to bypass the Giant King's Court's front and enter the interior through the Waning Forest and Barren Tunnel … Derrick Berg recalled the information Mr. World had shared with him above the gray fog.
This was very important to the City of Silver. This was because the early explorations from the Afternoon Town camp indicated that the closer one was to the Giant King's Court, the more monsters that originated from the darkness were, and the stronger they were.
I have to tell the Chief! Derrick suddenly stood up, rushed out of the house, and headed straight for the spire. As he wished, he met the Chief of the six-member council, Colin Iliad.
According to Mr. The Hanging Man's exhortations, he said that he had recalled a certain mural he had seen in Afternoon Town's "shadow." It described a secret passageway into the Giant King's Court.
Colin Iliad listened quietly without interrupting Derrick's recount. Finally, he nodded gently.
"Very good, you've done well.
"What do you want to exchange this contribution for?"
"The complete brain of an adult mind dragon." Derrick was already prepared.
Colin didn't ask why as he thought for a moment.
"If that secret passageway is real, then its value is definitely higher than the complete brain of an adult mind dragon. Hmm … You can choose something else. Are you interested in the potion formula of a higher Sequence of the Planter pathway?"
He's asking Mr. Fool … As Derrick came to a realization, he asked in surprise,
"Do we have the potion formula of a higher Sequence of the Planter pathway?"
He didn't remember having any.
You should remember that the Giant King's queen is the Goddess of Harvest, but the surrounding area lacks the corresponding Beyonder ingredients. There's no rush. You can consider it again. " Colin Iliad calmly changed the topic. "Have you already mastered the power of a Priest of Light?"
"Yes," Derrick replied succinctly.
Colin fell silent for a moment as he looked at the teenager in front of him.
"What kind of Saint-level Sealed Artifact do you want to choose?"
