Listening to Will Auceptin's "tearful complaints," Klein really did not know how to react, so he could only remain expressionless.
When the baby wrapped in silver silk calmed down, he asked in puzzlement, "What's going on?
"Even if I had told you earlier, it would have been useless. When I met you, you had already 'rebooted.'"
"No, at that time, I was still Will Auceptin. I didn't have the surname Chris, and I've already 'rebooted' a long time ago." The chubby baby wiped his tears and said, "Although there's still a long time before I reach adulthood, as long as I'm willing to take a certain amount of risk, it's not impossible to accept it. With the luck I've accumulated, that kind of risk can be resolved. But right now, the difference is too great, and there's no way to make up for it."
Klein thought for a while and said after some deliberation,
"Perhaps I can find a Marauder pathway angel to steal your time so that you can grow up earlier."
Will Auceptin was still sobbing as he shook his head.
"It's useless … It's impossible for 'them' to precisely steal my 'childhood' and 'adolescence'. If it's purely about the time of my survival, it won't allow me to grow. It will only reduce the number of years that I'm supposed to live … At that time, Will Auceptin Ceres will die prematurely. He will be born in June 1350 and will die in October 1350 at the age of four months …"
"But I've seen examples of accelerated aging due to the theft of time." Klein recalled what he had seen in Amon's mausoleum.
The chubby baby still shook his head.
"No, that's just a symbolic representation. If it were used on me, it would be the baby starting to grow wrinkles and his hair turning white …
"If you really want to accurately steal 'childhood' and 'youth', you can only find Amon, and 'His' true body has to come in person …"
At this point, the baby wrapped in silver silk and Klein fell silent at the same time. Neither of them spoke for a long time.
If Amon were to be found, it might not just be his "childhood" and "youth" that were stolen.
After a while, Klein exhaled without hiding it.
"Then let's not think about this matter for the time being. However, I still want to know where I can get a way to accommodate the Uniqueness. If there's a chance to get it, I definitely won't miss it. Who knows when it will come in handy in the future."
Will Auceptin put down his hand that was wiping his tears and sniffled.
"There's no need to ask anyone. I've already gotten it long ago, but I just can't do it. Otherwise, do you think that I'm fake as the chairman of the Life School of Thought?"
"…" Klein was surprised and curious. "Why can't I do it?"
Will Auceptin tugged at the little blanket in the pram.
There are three ways to accommodate the Uniqueness. The first is to be born with it, which is equivalent to the activation of the Uniqueness and fuse it with humanity. The second is to activate the Uniqueness to a certain extent and then forcefully absorb it into the body. Relying on the power of the Creator to suppress it, it will take a long time to wear it down bit by bit, adapt, and achieve balance. The third is to mix the Uniqueness into an incomplete potion and consume it with a simplified ritual to become a god.
"There's no need to mention the first method. This is what people are jealous of about the brothers. The second method was impossible after the ancient Sun's god perished. The third method is the only feasible method at present, but for a Sequence 1 of the Fate pathway, it can only depend on fate."
The first point was mentioned by Rosell The Great in his diary. It was said by Mr. Door … Does the second point mean that after the ancient Sun's god grasped many authorities, he was actually at least half a level higher than the present true gods, or even one level higher? The level of the Creator? Klein asked thoughtfully, "What do you mean it can only depend on fate?
What does it have to do with me saying earlier that I can help you accommodate the Uniqueness? " Will Auceptin's chubby baby face revealed a wistful expression.
"The Fate pathway's apotheosis ritual might be the simplest, but it might also be the most difficult.
"As long as we can find the right opportunity in the torrent of fate, we can directly consume the potion and attempt to advance.
"As long as we can find the right opportunity in the torrent of fate, we can directly consume the magic potion and attempt to advance.
"But the problem is that the exact opportunity can't be divined or predicted. There's no way to lock onto it. All I can do is eliminate certain interferences and patiently experience and search. I've already 'rebooted' countless times. After an extremely long period of time, I still haven't encountered it …"
At this point, the baby's tears flowed down again.
It sounds simple, but in fact, it's all about fate and "looks" … Klein felt wistful as he asked in enlightenment, "What's the matter?
"When I said that I would help you accommodate the Uniqueness, did you vaguely grasp the opportunity?"
The chubby baby cried even more bitterly.
"Although I haven't found it yet … I have a feeling …"
… I see … When Will Auceptin first came into contact with me, other than hoping to obtain the help of "Yesterday Once More," he was also pushed by luck? What a charlatan … Klein grunted and said,
"Then there's no other way …"
"Only if you give me a few more of those amulets!" Will Auceptin nodded heavily.
"Alright." Klein wasn't stingy with his reply before adding, "You have to fold a few more paper cranes for me."
With that said, the baby wrapped in silver silk and him fell silent.
…
In the rental apartment, Klein, who had woken up from his dream, got out of bed, walked to the room outside, took out a pen and paper, and began writing to Leonard.
"… I've obtained some High-Sequence Beyonders of the Seer pathway. It allows one to borrow strength from their past selves …"
Klein didn't mention if his dear poet needed it. It was as though he was simply describing it.
After folding the letter, he took out a gold coin and a rectangular diamond-like charm and blew into the adventurer's harmonica.
Reinette Tinekerr, who was wearing a dark and complicated dress, walked out of the void with four blonde, red-eyed heads in hand. All eyes were cast on the Yesterday Once More charm.
The four heads spoke one after another:
"This time …" "Who …" "Are …" "Dealing …" "With …" "Against …"
How direct … Klein sighed and smiled.
"I haven't confirmed it yet.
"I'm going to attempt to foil George III's plans next. I might need your help at a critical moment."
Reinette Tinekerr's four blonde, red-eyed heads immediately replied:
"This …" "Sounds …" "Very …" "Dangerous …"
"Want …" "More …" "Payment …"
"More of these charms?" The corner of Klein's forehead twitched as though he was experiencing the soul-tearing pain again.
"Three …" Reinette Tinekerr's head, which hadn't spoken a second time, bobbed up and down.
"…" Klein forced a smile and said, "No problem.
However, it will take one to two weeks. "
Firstly, he had recently separated many Worms of Spirit and made many Yesterday Charms. It made him feel that he was approaching his limits and needed to rest for a period of time. Secondly, he felt that in another one to two weeks, with the release of Miss Magicians's new book, he should be able to digest the Bizarro Sorcerer potion and attempt to advance to Scholar of Yore. When that happened, there might be a simpler and easier method.
Reinette Tinekerr's four heads bobbed up and down with the help of her hair, indicating that there was no problem.
Klein then pointed at the letter and gold coin.
"Send it to the mail box at 7 Pinster Street."
He had previously done a divination and discovered that Leonard wasn't home. He seemed to have gone south of the Bridge.
One of Reinette Tinekerr's heads bobbed up as she sucked the letter, gold coin, and Yesterday Once More charm into her mouth.
Seeing Miss Messenger step into the void and disappear from the room, Klein pondered for nearly a minute before setting up the sacrificial and bestowment ritual.
Since the Bizarro Sorcerer potion was about to be completely digested, there was no doubt that he had to prepare the various ingredients for Scholar of Yore ahead of time.
Among them, the Demonic Wolf of Fog's heart and White Frost Crystal could be obtained from the Evernight Goddess.
And with the Demonic Wolf of Fog's heart, he could "fish" the Hounds of Fulgrim in the spirit world.
After a period of work, Klein finished setting up the altar. He took two steps back and observed his surroundings.
It's still rather clean … With the wall of spirituality sealing it, I've satisfied the ritual's requirements … I haven't contributed much recently, so how should I pray for a bestowment? Could it be that I tell the Goddess that I plan on getting a credit loan and paying it back in installments … Wouldn't that be a little blasphemous to the deities … Yes, I'll try to sacrifice something of value. If the Goddess is willing to accept it, she'll give me a corresponding bestowment …
Something of value … As he thought, Klein's thoughts turned to the junk pile above the gray fog.
He really wanted to pack the Biological Poison Bottle, the Interrogator Beyonder characteristic, the Lunatic Beyonder characteristic, the aura of a Blatherer, the blood of a Thousand-faced Hunter, the eyeball of a six-winged gargoyle, and the powder of a Spirit World Plunderer to the Goddess in exchange for the ingredients for Scholar of Yore. However, he felt that this would make the Goddess look like a trash collector, so he had no choice but to give up on the idea.
It has to be something of similar value … Ge Rosell's Travels won't do. It hides quite a lot of secrets, and it might be of great use. By the way, the next time Little Sun and company explore the Giant King's Court, I can give Rosell's ashes to them. This time, I don't know how far they can explore. I'm worried that they will return before they truly enter the Giant King's Court …
"Sea God Scepter? That's even more important. Not only is it my most powerful Sealed Artifact at the moment, but it also involves the believers of the Sea God. That will be my anchor for a period of time in the future. When I have more anchors, I can bestow them to Mr. The Hanging Man …
Hvin Rambis's Beyonder characteristic … I've already promised it to Miss Justice … After some thought, Klein realized that he didn't have many choices. One was Life's Scepter, and the other was the Flaring Sun charm, Fate Siphon charm, Yesterday Once More charm, and Control Spirit Bullets.
The latter are all one-time items. Even if they are added together, their actual value can't compare to the main ingredient of a Sequence 3 potion … Besides, when my ability to transfer wounds improves again, I can also take on a portion of Life's Scepter's functions … After some hesitation, Klein finally made a decision.
