"The potion formula for the Seer pathway."
…
Klein leaned back in his chair and attempted to channel the spirit using dream divination.
In the gray, illusory World, a gas lamp suddenly lit up, illuminating the stone slabs on the ground and the desk with a scroll of parchment.
After the Seer and Clown formulas flashed, Rosago, wearing a shirt with fluffy cuffs, stood by the side, listening to a voice that came from an unknown location.
"Before advancing, I have to remind you that you've been relying too much on divination recently."
"Divination is a revelation, a result. It can't tell us the process. For example, if you divined whether a railway stock would make money, the answer you received was yes, so you invested all your money. But in fact, the true meaning of the revelation is that in the long run, in thirty years, this railway stock will make money, and before that, the fall will outweigh the rise. Fate isn't that easy to grasp. Most of the time, there's no way to determine or quantify it. Divination isn't omnipotent. "
"In addition, divination can also be interfered with and misled. There are too many things in this World that you can't understand. If you completely rely on divination, you'll definitely die because of it in the future."
"Divination is a revelation, and it has to be matched with one's own caution, prudence, and restraint."
Rosago died at my hands because the Language of Foulness involved the mysterious space above the gray fog, preventing him from divining the corresponding danger. Otherwise, with his strange abilities, Miss Bodyguard and I would have been dead … This is also a reminder for me. Even if I have the gray fog to isolate the interference, I can't be careless. No matter how certain my actions are, I have to leave some leeway … From these words, it seems like they didn't know about the "acting method" back then. Otherwise, some of the words could be summarized as reverence for fate … As his thoughts raced, Klein heard Rosago's answer. He unfolded the parchment.
"Sequence 7, Magicians:
"Main ingredients: One piece of the true root of a Mist Treant, all the spinal fluid of a Dark Patterned Black Panther.
"Supplementary materials: 60ml of pure water, 30ml of Mist Ent's juice, 3g of Watery Gem Powder, 4 drops of Psychedelic Grass Essential Oil."
Magicians … They're also part of a circus. Together with Seers and clowns, they can form the Big Three of the Circus … Klein lampooned before recalling the suited clown he had previously encountered.
He seemed to be a "Magician." His abilities seemed to include the snap of his fingers, Air Bullet, Flame Jump, Paper Soldiers … Not bad … Just the ability to cast spells quickly would greatly increase my combat strength …
As these thoughts flashed in his mind, Klein saw the scene change.
This time, it was a magnificent room, surrounded by all kinds of golden sculptures and decorations.
It was the same voice from before, and it was the same reminder.
"According to my experience, after consuming this Faceless potion, you have to remember one thing. You can disguise as anyone, but you can only be yourself."
Faceless Man? The Sequence 6 of the Seer pathway is Faceless? This should be the Beyonder power that allowed Rosago to transform into Sergeant Faxine … From the looks of it, the fake Detective Zreal was also played by him …
Creeping Hunger allows Zillinges to transform into different people, which matches this Beyonder power very well. From the looks of it, a certain Faceless died at his hands … This power doesn't increase the level of a head-on battle, but in many situations, it's more useful than 90% of a Beyonder power … It's no wonder Rosago dared to come here to kill and wasn't afraid of falling into a trap … This power is very important to me!
With this in mind, Klein subconsciously widened his eyes. He saw Rosago pick up a thin golden page with many Hermes words written on it.
"Sequence 6, Faceless:"
"Main ingredients: Thousand-faced Hunter's mutated pituitary gland, characteristic of a Human-skinned Shadow.
"Supplementary materials: 80ml of Thousand-faced Hunter's blood, 5 drops of Black Jimsonweed juice, 10 grams of Dragon Tooth Grass powder, 3 strands of hair from a Deep-sea Naga.
Thousand-faced Hunter? This seems to be a type of dragon. It's not a particularly powerful type … It shouldn't be a psychic dragon, but it's still very rare and close to extinction … Klein instantly recalled the corresponding mysticism knowledge.
At this moment, the scene in front of him hadn't changed, but Rosago's clothes and position had.
He was wearing a white wig and a dark tuxedo, and his face was covered with a thick beard.
"The advancement this time isn't as simple as before. The potion has to be consumed in conjunction with the ritual. Once it succeeds, you will obtain one of the most difficult Beyonder powers to restrain below High-Sequence Beyonders." The person who spoke had changed, his voice sounding even older.
Rosago asked expectantly,
"What ceremony?"
"Go to the sea, find a mermaid, and consume the magic potion while listening to her singing." The old man who spoke opened an ancient book with countless mysterious symbols.
The surface of the book suddenly glowed as lines of ancient Hermes appeared in midair.
"Sequence 5. Marionettist:"
Upon seeing this, Klein suddenly felt a headache. This was a sign that his spirituality was nearing depletion.
In the previous battle, just the Language of Foulness charm had consumed most of his spirituality. Later, not only did he use three charms from the Evernight Goddess's domain, but he had also summoned and responded to himself. The fact that he could last until now meant that he had made great progress from the past. He had made great progress in digesting the Clown potion.
As the scene flickered and shook, on the verge of shattering, Klein forcefully held on and scanned the remaining contents of the formula.
"Main ingredients: Dust of an ancient wraith, Core Crystal of a six-winged gargoyle.
"Supplementary ingredients: 80 milliliters of spring water from Sonia Island's golden spring, 10 grams of bark from a dragon-patterned tree, remnant spirituality of an ancient wraith, 1 pair of eyes from a six-winged gargoyle.
"Advancement ritual: Consume the potion while listening to the mermaid's singing."
Kacha. Klein no longer held on, allowing the dream to dissipate into countless illusory points of light.
He pinched his forehead and nearly fainted. At the same time that Rosago's remnant spirituality and the slight feeling of madness were annihilated, he was pushed back into the real World by an invisible force.
The ground that was covered in blood, brain matter, hair, and all sorts of debris reflected in Klein's eyes. He bent down and retched twice to sober up a little.
Without spirituality, one would directly exit the mysterious space above the gray fog … Klein looked around and found that Miss Bodyguard was still asleep.
He hurriedly extinguished the candles and packed up the items related to the ritual. Then, he panted heavily. After a moment of rest, he finally recovered a little of his spirituality.
At this moment, a cold wind blew at his neck, causing him to shiver and his thoughts to stiffen.
Klein suddenly turned his head and looked at the oriel window again. He saw that Miss Bodyguard, who was dressed in a black Gothic regal dress, had already woken up and was floating up.
Her pale blonde hair and pale face seemed to have dimmed a little. Her entire body became more illusory, and her skin became somewhat translucent.
Klein hurriedly explained according to the excuse he had long thought of.
"After I blew up his head, I found that his body was still squirming. Because I was afraid that he would turn into a zombie, I quickly used all the charms on me. I-I was very nervous and flustered, and I might have implicated you."
This is probably the risk that the divination revealed earlier … If she's dissatisfied and thinks that I attacked her, then I'm doomed … Klein thought with some trepidation.
This true feeling made his performance even more perfect.
Miss Bodyguard looked down at herself and said in an erratic tone,
"What charm was it at the beginning?"
"I bought a black ear at the gathering for 400 pounds. It was said that I could hear the voice of a great being. If I was lucky enough, I would gain a lot of benefits. If I was unlucky, I would die on the spot. I couldn't hire a bodyguard back then, and with such a dangerous situation, I could only take a gamble. The outcome wasn't bad, "Klein answered with absolute truth." After I heard the voice of a great being, the black ear shattered by itself and turned into this charm. "
Miss Bodyguard's blue eyes slowly swept across him. The room was silent, and there was a frozen silence.
Finally, the lady in the black regal dress nodded.
"You'd better find a psychiatrist."
Does she mean that I've already become a potential lunatic? Yes, she guessed that it was a relic of a Listener, and she also understood that Rosago's spirituality must have been corrupted by the True Creator. She wouldn't suspect that I deliberately put her to sleep and took the opportunity to channel her spirit … This also explains why I was able to escape the influence of the ravings faster than her. After all, I'm a potential lunatic created by the True Creator … Klein curled the corners of his mouth.
"Let's quickly clean up the scene. Perhaps the people from MI9 will come over to take a look." He pointed at Rosago's headless corpse.
As he spoke, Klein put on his gloves, approached, squatted down, and quickly searched for the relic.
He quickly found more than ten pounds in cash, some essential oils and herbal powder, two crudely cut paper dolls, and a strange piece of paper.
The paper was orange in color. On it, there were symbols corresponding to the Sun and magic labels circled out a blank rectangle. Just holding it in his hand made him feel warm and secure.
"What is this?" Klein did not hide his confusion.
At some point in time, Miss Bodyguard had floated behind him and replied simply,
"A mystical item corresponding to a notary."
"Notary?" Klein was stunned at first, but then he recalled that Rosago was an intelligence agent in the Republic of Intis. They believed in the Eternal Blazing Sun, the God of Steam and Machinery, and the Eternal Blazing Sun was also the God of Contracts.
Is this the Sequence 6 or 5 of the Bard pathway?
"Notarization is effective. Beyonder powers will be temporarily enhanced. Notarization is ineffective. Beyonder powers will be forcefully dispersed." Miss Bodyguard didn't explain further as she roughly described the effects.
Just as Klein was about to speak, he suddenly saw Rosago's headless body and blood and brain matter emit specks of dark light. They attracted each other and condensed into a blob, turning into a completely black eye without a pupil.
"W-what's this? Klein feigned ignorance and asked again.
"Something of no value." Miss Bodyguard maintained her unique way of speaking.
"Of no value?" Klein asked with a frown.
He actually understood what Miss Bodyguard meant. Normally speaking, if Rosago eventually lost control, he would leave behind a strange and terrifying Sealed Artifact. If not, his Beyonder characteristics could be used as the main ingredient of a Sequence 5 Nimblewright Master potion. In short, they would be of high value.
But the problem was that he didn't lose control, and he had been corrupted by the True Creator. Thus, he became the main ingredient of a potion with an evil god's mark. Using it to concoct a Nimblewright Master potion, Klein believed that it was suicide by consuming poison.
Miss Bodyguard looked at the completely black eye and said in a low and ethereal voice, "It has been corrupted by an evil god.
"It has been corrupted by evil gods and has no value anymore."
If it's really of value, and if it's very valuable, I'll have to worry if you'll finish me off in passing … Klein pointed at Rosago's relic and said, "This is our shared spoils of war.
"These are our shared spoils of war. Each of us can take some. You go first."
Miss Bodyguard turned her head and glanced at him. Without saying a word, she floated over and took the "notarial deed."
