With the document signed by Dunn, Klein went underground and turned into the armory.
"Dunn is right. It's time for you to learn about different Beyonders and the various secret organizations." Old Neil, who was dressed in a classic black robe, wasn't surprised when he saw the note. Instead, he echoed seriously.
Then, he added with a smile, "After all, you'll be going to the underground market with me tomorrow night."
"Tomorrow night?" Klein didn't hide his surprise as he asked in confirmation.
Old Neil nodded and sighed.
"I'm a person who can't sleep peacefully when I'm in debt. I always hope to pay it off as soon as possible."
Why didn't you act like this before? Why did you have to drag it out until the very last moment before using ritualistic magic … So I'm not the only one who procrastinates … Wait, is there a need to put it in such a euphemistic way by saying that you're afraid that you won't be able to resist using the money to repay your debt? Klein didn't expose Old Neil. Instead, he urged him.
Instead, he urged, "Mr. Neil, please go to Chanis Gate and retrieve the corresponding information for me."
The armory was mostly filled with archeological information and historical documents. There were some that involved Beyonders and secret organizations, but there weren't many of them. Furthermore, they were all basic knowledge.
Old Neil slowly took a sip of his handmade coffee and smacked his lips. Then, he picked up the signed and stamped document and walked out of the armory. Klein took his place and guarded the place.
After about ten minutes, the black-robed Old Neil returned with a huge stack of information.
"You can only read it here. You can't take it away," he exhorted as he placed the information on the table.
"Alright." Klein nodded heavily. He stretched out his hands and quickly flipped through the pages. He first browsed through them as a whole.
Very detailed … As expected of the internal information of the Nighthawks … As expected of a Church with three to four thousand years of history, or even longer … Klein scanned through it and sighed inwardly.
Not only did the information contain introductions to the various secret organizations, but it also listed many Sequence pathways. Some were very complete, while others only had the potion name of the corresponding Sequence. Some only described the Beyonders of the Sequence, while others were completely missing and replaced with blanks.
Suppressing his excitement, Klein began searching for the Sequence pathway represented by Seer.
Amidst the rustling of paper, he soon saw familiar words.
However, his joyful expression quickly froze on his face. This was because the Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 after Seer did not have a corresponding potion name!
Thankfully, there are at least two performances from Beyonders of these two Sequences … Klein exhaled silently, calmed himself down, and read the descriptions seriously.
"Sequence 8: Potion name unknown. The corresponding Beyonder is good at skill-based combat, and they are all very cunning."
Proficient in skill-based combat? This is the advancement of a Seer? Why does it feel so weird … I'm not a Hunter … Do I have to become a melee mage? What did he mean by cunning? His intelligence had increased and he was good at deceiving others? Klein was taken aback. He even suspected that there was something wrong with the Nighthawks' information.
After that, there were corresponding cases. He read them several times, but in the end, he still could not find a reasonable explanation.
His gaze moved down, and the description of Sequence 7 reflected in his eyes.
"Potion name unknown. The corresponding Beyonder has mastered many spells that can be cast quickly, combining their skills with supernatural powers."
That's more like it! This is more like the advancement of a Seer! Klein heaved a sigh of relief and sighed inwardly.
After reading the Sequence 7 case, he shifted his gaze to the summary description of the pathway.
"This Sequence pathway was first formed in the Solomon Empire's Zaratul family. During the conflicts of the Fourth Epoch, this family was not completely destroyed. In the history of the Fifth Epoch, their names can occasionally be heard … It is suspected to be related to the ancient organization, the Secret Order."
Zaratul? Upon seeing this name, Klein's pupils constricted.
This name had appeared in the remnant diary entries of Rosell The Great yesterday afternoon!
Rosell's "acting method" originated from the reminder of a mysterious figure, Zaratul!
Because of that mysterious Zaratul, Rosell The Great regretted not choosing Seer? Therefore, it indirectly influenced me, making me become a Seer, allowing the acting method to return to the embrace of Seers … It really feels a little predestined … Klein frowned, feeling that things seemed a little different.
Just by looking at the logical chain, he believed that there was nothing wrong with any of the links, but in the field of mysticism, a similar sense of predestination would often indicate certain things and implicate certain problems.
Coupled with the baffling feeling of transmigration … It's really confusing … Furthermore, the fellow I possessed committed suicide because of the Secret Order's lost notebook … Klein thought for a long time and had many guesses, but he lacked more information to prove them.
Phew … After repeatedly reading through the information, he could only suppress his thoughts and read other records.
He first found the Sailor Sequence and found that it indeed belonged to the Lord of Storms.
The internal records of the Nighthawks were rather detailed when it came to such an old opponent that might have existed for more than two to three thousand years.
"Sequence 8: Folk of Rage, formerly known as Guardian of Storms. When the corresponding Beyonder is enraged, they can unleash attacks that far exceed normal. Be it strength or speed, they will be greatly enhanced … Facing them is like facing a storm …"
"Sequence 7: Seafarer, formerly known as Storm Priest. The corresponding Beyonder is also a scholar of astronomy and geography. They have an intuitive grasp of magnetic fields, ocean currents, wind directions, and clouds … A ship with a Seafarer will never get lost at sea … They are a higher-grade Blessed of the sea, and they will be enhanced in all aspects at sea …"
"They are friends of water and can move freely underwater for more than half an hour … They can cast spells related to water to a certain extent. Some of this comes from their own mastery, while others are bestowed by the Lord of Storms, such as …"
Sequence 7 Seafarer is very strong … Klein nodded thoughtfully.
He suspected that The Hanging Man was either a Guardian of Storms or a Seafarer. From the fact that he had just advanced, it was very likely that he was the latter.
This also meant that The Hanging Man was either a member of the Mandated Punishers or a pirate that had been secretly recruited by the Church of the Storm.
Impressive, impressive … Klein flipped back a few pages and found the advancement of Spectator. He discovered that it was identical to the description of The Hanging Man.
A Sequence 9 Spectator was the same as a Seer. They lacked direct means of subduing their enemies. They could only obtain information from observing their targets and grasp their true thoughts. From there, they could ingeniously influence and secretly guide things in the direction they wished for.
Sequence 8 Telepathic Reader was a comprehensive upgrade of Spectator. His observations were no longer limited to superficial details, but they could penetrate deep into mysterious domains such as auras and Ether Body. The combination of the two allowed Telepathic Reader to grasp the hearts of people with abnormal accuracy, as though he could read the thoughts of others. It was very difficult to keep secrets in front of him.
Sequence 7 Psychiatrist, also known as Psyche Analyst, was a step further from the previous levels. He could begin to directly influence the target. For example, he could treat the other party's problems such as madness or cause them to go berserk and lose their rationality.
It's very difficult for others to discover a Beyonder … After reading the above information, Klein made a firm judgment.
After learning about the members of the Gathering, he flipped to the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. This was because Rosell The Great had chosen the Savant Sequence that belonged to them.
"Sequence 9, Savant. The corresponding Beyonder believes that knowledge is power. They have a rough understanding of mysticism, and they are even more proficient in aqua regia, nitroglycerin, and complicated gears. They seem to know everything."
It's no wonder Rosell The Great said that this potion is very suitable for him. It can maximize his advantage … Klein was completely enlightened as he looked down.
After a few case descriptions, the corresponding Sequence 8 appeared before Klein's eyes.
Archaeologist. Possesses sufficient historical knowledge, wilderness survival knowledge, as well as taboo knowledge related to ruins. Has a strong enough body and ability to face all of this …
Sequence 7 Appraiser. Can intuitively grasp the abilities and problems of most Beyonder items. Can avoid danger when using them …
As Klein's security clearance wasn't high enough, the information regarding the Sequence pathways was only up to 7. It made him itch, but he couldn't think of any other way. He could only hope that Baekeland would send Sealed Artifact 2-049 over as soon as possible to confirm if Ray Bieber was a descendant of the Antigonus family.
That way, he would have a chance of becoming an official member and obtain a higher security clearance.
Reining in his emotions, Klein carefully read the information from beginning to end. He learned that Corpse Collector was followed by Gravedigger and Spirit Medium. He also learned that Sequence 8 of Mystery Pryer was missing. Not only did it not have a name, even the corresponding description was blank. Instead, there were records of the potion's name in Sequence 7 — Warlock!
Sounds pretty impressive … Klein slowly flipped the pages and saw the Apprentice and Marauder that Rosell The Great couldn't forget. The relevant records only went up to Sequence 8, and the subsequent parts were missing.
Sequence 9 Apprentice. Has a rather strange ability. I can only confirm that it's the beginning of a school of mage. They are rarely trapped, and it's very difficult to be obstructed. They always have a way to escape and pass through … Sequence 8 Trickmaster. Knows all sorts of strange but not powerful spells …
"Sequence 9, Marauder. It's very difficult to distinguish these Beyonders from ordinary bandits and thieves. Perhaps their means are more powerful, and the reason they steal isn't for enjoyment, nor is it for survival. It's more like they are fulfilling a mission … Sequence 8, Swindler. In some of the scams, we found traces of Beyonders. They delight in scamming others …"
Taking pleasure in deceiving others … Is this a subtle form of "acting" that influences others subtly? If I had a choice, perhaps I would choose Apprentice … Klein thought to himself. Suddenly, he discovered the Sequence potion name of the perpetrator of the Alfalfa tragedy, Tris, Instigator.
