"No problem." Klein tried his best to keep his tone deep.
He placed his left elbow on the armrest of the high-back chair and used his fingers to support his slightly tilted forehead, pretending to listen calmly.
Alger deliberated over his words and said, "The Antigonus family is an ancient family.
Their history can even be traced back to the Cataclysm Era before the Fourth Epoch. It's related to the second Blasphemy Slate. "
The second Blasphemy Slate? There's a second Blasphemy Slate? How many are there? Klein's pupils constricted as he nearly changed his posture.
According to what The Hanging Man and Justice had previously said, the Blasphemy Slate recorded twenty-two pathways of the divine!
There are actually two of such important items, or even more?
Twenty-two pathways of the divine … Sequence pathways … Uh, can these two terms be equated? Every complete Sequence pathway is a path that leads to the throne of God?
In that instant, thoughts popped up in Klein's mind due to the description of the second Blasphemy Slate. He believed that if it wasn't for the thick grayish-white fog concealing him, his emotional reaction would've been discovered by Miss Spectator.
As for the term "Cataclysm Era," as a professional, he wasn't unfamiliar with it. It was another name for the Third Epoch.
After a period of revision, Klein even knew that the Third Epoch was divided into two eras: the Glorious Era and the Cataclysm Era.
"The second Blasphemy Slate?" Audrey didn't hide her curiosity.
She hadn't calmed down and returned to her Spectator state.
Good question! Klein secretly cheered for Miss Justice.
This was a question that wasn't convenient for him to ask as The Fool.
Alger glanced at The Fool, and seeing that his posture hadn't changed, nor did he say anything to stop him, he thought for a moment.
"The first Blasphemy Slate appeared during the Dark Epoch, which was also the second epoch when we humans struggled to survive under the protection of the gods. The second Blasphemy Slate appeared at the end of the third epoch. It could even be said that its appearance marked the end of the calamity epoch."
"The information on these two Blasphemy Slates is strictly confidential by the seven Churches. I only know one thing, and that is that they involve the pathway of the divine. As for the differences between them, I'm not sure."
"Did Rosell The Great see the first or second Blasphemy Slate?" Audrey asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Klein recalled Alger's description of the potion names during the first gathering. He said that the names of the Sequence potions came from the Blasphemy Slate!
Similarly, Captain also mentioned that the formation and perfection of the potion system depends on the birth of the Blasphemy Slate … This indirectly proves that the pathway of the gods is the Sequence pathway! Klein gave a silent answer to his question.
At this moment, The Hanging Man Alger simply and directly said,
"The second one."
Audrey's eyes turned calm as she once again entered her Spectator state. She didn't press further as she focused on The Hanging Man.
This made Alger feel rather uncomfortable. He held back his emotions and continued in a low voice, "I'm not sure.
"During the Solomon Dynasty in the Fourth Epoch, although the Antigonus family was an illustrious noble, they didn't leave a deep impression. Only when they supported the establishment of the Tudor Empire did they truly stand in the center of the Northern Continent's stage."
"Back then, ancient names like Antigonus, Amon, Abraham, and Jacob shone in the human kingdoms. But after the War of the Four Emperors, the Tudor Empire's Blood Emperor perished. They fell from their peak and were pursued by the present seven deities."
"I'm not sure of the exact process. I only know that the Antigonus family was eventually destroyed by the Church of Evernight. Mr. Fool, if you wish to know more, I'm afraid you can only obtain it from the Church of Evernight or come into contact with those ancient secret organizations. You know which ones I'm referring to."
I don't know … Klein nodded bitterly.
"Yes."
The Secret Order counts as one. The Moses Ascetic Order that the Captain and Old Neil mentioned before counts as one. I wonder if the Psychological Alchemy counts as one …
While he was silently doing inventory, Alger gave him the final piece of information.
"I similarly do not know which Sequence pathway the Antigonus family has mastered. However, in the relevant descriptions, there are two adjectives that appear repeatedly: strange and terrifying."
Strange and terrifying … Thinking back to the notebook, thinking back to the original Klein, his classmates, and the encounter with Ray Bieber's mother, it's indeed more apt … Klein tapped the edge of the long table with his other hand a few times.
Following that, he slowly said in a low voice, "Very good.
I'm very satisfied with this payment. "
The reason why he repeatedly tapped the long table with his fingers was to strengthen this action. He wanted to make Justice and The Hanging Man believe that he had a habit of tapping something, so as to conceal the activation and deactivation of his Spirit Vision.
"It's my honor." Alger didn't mention anything else.
Audrey looked at The Hanging Man, then at The Fool, and said with a faint smile, "Then, I'll ask the second question.
"Then I'll ask the second question. What are the subsequent potions for Spectator? Where can I find clues? "
I also want to ask directly, but different choices require different difficulties … Klein didn't speak as he cast his gaze at The Hanging Man.
Alger fell silent for a few seconds.
"I'll answer this question for free, because I was the one who guided you onto this pathway."
"The subsequent Sequence 8 of Spectator is called Telepathist. The ancient name for Sequence 7 is Psyche Analyst, but it's now described as Psychiatrist. This is what I learned from a member of the Psychological Alchemy. I believe they have quite a number of potion formulas for this pathway."
Psychological Alchemy … Spirit Medium Daly agrees with some of their theories, but the Captain believes that it's evil and crazy … Klein listened thoughtfully.
"Do you know the current whereabouts of that Psychological Alchemy member?" Audrey asked with her eyes lit up.
Be it Telepathist or Psychiatrist, they were quite in line with her aesthetic standards.
Alger let out a rare laugh.
"I know. He sank near Sonia Island. I sank him myself."
"If you're looking for Psychological Alchemy, then I can only apologize that the clues have been cut off."
He wasn't worried that Justice would be able to determine his identity through his description, because he had done it alone.
"Sank …" Audrey didn't know what expression or words to use in response.
She took a deep breath and suddenly couldn't maintain her Spectator state.
She said a little bashfully, "Third question. If, and I'm saying if, an ordinary animal drinks a Sequence 9 potion, what would happen?"
What kind of darn question is that … Klein tapped his glabella twice with his finger that was propping up his forehead.
Soon, he could tell from the change in color that Audrey's emotions were a little flustered, a little nervous, and a little ashamed.
Did she do something as stupid as that? Klein was slightly stunned, but he didn't find it strange.
After the previous two gatherings, he was certain that Miss Justice had the genes for this.
Alger was clearly taken aback as well. After a while, he said, "That's right.
After a while, he said, "Ordinary animals don't have the brains of humans, so they can't learn Cogitation immediately. Therefore, there's a high chance that they will die on the spot or collapse into monsters. But if they survive, they should be able to become Beyonder creatures. If the potion can improve their thinking abilities, they might even become smarter."
"Alright." Audrey silently exhaled and nodded with a relaxed tone. "I don't have any other questions."
Alger thought for a moment and didn't mention the Aurora Order or the Listener. He shook his head as well.
He shook his head and said, "Me neither."
"I have something." Klein's posture didn't change as he said with a smile, "This requires your cooperation."
Without deactivating his Spirit Vision, he immediately noticed that The Hanging Man was clearly nervous. The previously carefree Miss Justice was also a little more afraid and cautious.
Without waiting for them to speak, Klein comforted them.
"Don't worry. It's just a small matter. If it succeeds, it will be very helpful to you. Therefore, I won't pay you any additional compensation."
"Go ahead." Audrey instinctively entered her Spectator state, but she couldn't see through the thick gray fog that enveloped The Fool.
"By your will," Alger calmed down and said in a deep voice.
Klein's fingers moved slightly as he smiled.
"As I said before, I'm going to try something so that you can apply for leave in advance. You don't have to worry about being in an inappropriate situation on Monday afternoon."
"That's exactly what we hope for." Audrey's brows relaxed.
Alger pondered for a moment.
"What do we need to do?"
"You can try a ritualistic magic in your free time. It doesn't have to be too formal, just an environment where you won't be disturbed will do … Place four new candles on the altar, one at each of the four corners. It would be best if they have the smell of sandalwood … Place a portion of white bread at the top left candle, a portion of Feynapotter noodles at the top right candle, paella at the bottom left and Desi pie at the bottom right … Use a silver knife to create a sealed spiritual environment …"
Klein described the ritualistic magic he had modified from the luck enhancement ritual and taught Miss Justice how to create a spiritual environment for free.
To be honest, as the target was himself, Klein believed that the first part, which was to attract the interest of the corresponding existences and please "Them," could be skipped. However, he still tried his best to make the process seem like it. Of course, it didn't match up to Old Neil's description of the deities as two and himself as three.
"… Distill the moon flower, gold mint, slumber flower, fingered citron, and rock rose and extract them into essential oil. Drip a drop on each candle …"
Audrey listened with great interest and took notes. In the end, she asked,
Finally, she asked, "What about the incantation? Mr. Fool, where's the corresponding incantation? "
Alger put down the fountain pen in his hand and turned to look at The Fool.
Shrouded in the grayish-white fog, Klein tapped the edge of the long table with his finger and replied in Hermes in a calm and unperturbed manner,
