On the yellow-brown parchment, slightly twisted and ferocious Chinese characters read:

"August 2nd, this pool of water is deeper than I thought. History is really a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone."

"August 5th. Today I witnessed the strength of the High-Sequence Experts. It was simply terrifying. In some ways, they have undergone a qualitative change and become like gods. No wonder they have been described as 'demigods and half-humans'. Well, I think it might be more appropriate to call them 'mythical creatures'."

"August 6th. It's strange. Why do the seven major churches have such a weird attitude towards potions? In the low and middle sequence stages, they not only provide the main materials to those who are promoted, but also generously share the recipes and demonstrate the process of preparing potions. If there are corresponding rituals, they will definitely explain them in detail. In the high sequence stage, they only provide finished potions."

"This is totally illogical. At the low and middle sequence stages, when the main materials are relatively easy to collect and the production process is relatively simple, shouldn't the formula be kept secret and the potion be brewed directly for the target? At the high sequence stage, since the main materials are difficult to obtain, shouldn't the formula be shared so that members who have the hope of promotion can take the initiative to find it?"

"There must be a secret hidden in here that I don't know yet."

"August 9th. What happened in the past two days makes me feel bad. The industrial revolution that I started with my own hands, the steam and mechanical age that I created with my own hands, will become the breeding ground for the birth of evil gods?"

What does that mean? The hotbed where evil gods are born? Klein frowned slightly and tapped the edge of the ancient table with his index finger.

Mr. Fool is having a problem? The things that can embarrass him must be of a very high level... Audrey looked at the leader shrouded in thick gray fog, and interpreted some of his current state from his body language.

Klein, who was indeed wondering about a high-level question, thought for a while but did not get an answer. He began to consider the possibility of using divination to seek enlightenment:

Well, it is impossible to predict something substantial with just two simple sentences like these. I am not a prophet... Directly predicting the "cradle of the evil god's birth"? I feel like I am courting death... The evil god may not be as terrifying as the Eternal Sun, but his abilities may be more bizarre. He may find me by following the clues... And there is no way to predict how dangerous this attempt is, because once it involves gods, predicting whether there is danger itself will bring danger...

Remember this question first, observe and think more...

Regarding the potion, the church's arrangement is indeed quite strange. I don't know what secrets are hidden behind it. Maybe when the "psychic", no, it should be the "necromancer mentor" Daly becomes an archbishop or a senior deacon and enters the core level of the church, I can get some hints...

What Russell said really made me yearn for the demeanor of a high-sequence expert...

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein stopped tapping the edge of the ancient table and looked at Justice, The Hanged Man, and The Sun.

"You can communicate freely now."

Alger, the Hanged Man, immediately said:

"Mr. Fool, Miss Justice, I have obtained a new piece of intelligence. Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos infiltrated Backlund to complete a difficult mission. He may stay there for a long time and commit a horrific tragedy. In addition, I also know that this matter involves a very important item that can help Qilingos quickly become a High-Sequence Powerhouse."

"Becoming a High-Sequence Expert soon? Isn't he afraid of losing control?" Audrey grasped the key points of the other party's description, put on the posture of a "spectator", and asked in confusion.

Qi Lingos is the Sequence 6 "Wind-loving One", and there is still a Sequence 5 between him and Sequence 4.

Alger had anticipated such a question and answered frankly:

“That’s why that item is so important.”

"Of course, this is all my speculation. The intelligence I received is this: Qi Lingos believes that once he completes the commission and obtains the item, he will soon be able to be on par with the 'Five Sea Kings' Nast and others, turning the 'Four Kings' among pirates into 'Five Kings' and reducing the seven pirate generals to six."

"Ordinary people may not know this, but as Beyonders, we should all know that the 'Four Kings' among the pirates are either High-Sequence Warriors directly, or possess High-Sequence combat power with the cooperation of Beyonder ships and magical items. If Qi Lingos wants to be recognized and equal to them, he must have a similar level, so I speculated that."

I only know that "King of the Five Seas" Nast is a Sequence 4 warrior, but I don't know the name of his potion... Klein listened quietly and did not express his opinion easily.

Although "The Sun" Derrick Berg had no idea what "The Hanged Man" was describing and had no idea who was who, he still listened attentively, feeling that the world had opened up to him.

Pirates? Where do they live? There is an ocean as claimed in the books? That is very different from the environment around the City of Silver... They never seem to worry about curses or invasions of dark things... It really makes people very curious... Well, Mr. Fool has warned us not to ask about other people's secrets casually, as that is impolite... Derrick thought silently, looking back and forth between The Hanged Man and Justice.

"Your speculation is reasonable. Of course, it could also be a magical item that can rival that of a high-sequence powerhouse." Justice Audrey responded with a faint smile.

The Hanged Man looked at The Fool, who was standing high in the thick gray fog, and after a moment of deliberation, he looked at Justice and emphasized:

"There are two key points in my description just now. One is that Qilingos will stay in Backlund for a long time, and the other is that it involves a very important and possibly magical item."

So, Mr. Fool, aren't you tempted? You have plenty of time to get your followers to Backlund... Alger silently added in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it directly, so he could only make a tactful nod.

Mr. Hanged Man, you don't have to repeat yourself. I understand what you mean... But my strength doesn't allow me to get involved in this matter, and I can't leave Tingen without permission... Klein leaned back in his chair, thinking helplessly.

Not to mention the Favored, I can find two relatively powerful Beyonders to help...

One is Daly, who has been promoted to Sequence 6. But I can't explain everything to her. At most, I can say that I received a tip that "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingos has sneaked into Backlund and lives on a certain street, planning to do something. In that case, Daly is likely to directly mobilize the power of the Nighthawks, making things very chaotic and troublesome... In the end, if you still can't find help, well, you can try this to avoid a tragedy...

The other one is Mr. Azik, but I can’t reveal the identity of The Fool to him. I don’t have enough and legitimate reasons to ask him to get involved in Qilingos’ affairs...

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein spoke calmly:

"I see."

Seeing that the Fool still hadn't expressed his opinion and still didn't take Qilingos's matter seriously, Alger, the Hanged Man, sighed secretly, suppressed his disappointment, and began to discuss the results of this week's investigation with Miss Justice.

"...In short, we have initially locked down the general range of Qi Lingos' activities and are about to start further searching." Audrey first briefly explained the specific situation, and then said with a serious attitude, "We need more information, focusing on Qi Lingos' hobbies and habits."

Alger, the Hanged Man, said as he recalled:

"He likes to eat fish very much, especially fish from the ocean, which he slices and eats raw..."

"He loves to drink strong liquor and looks down on champagne, red wine, etc...."

"Once on land, he would always look for women to vent his feelings, but his strong body made it impossible for a single woman to satisfy him..."

"He is used to using cold weapons and rejects hot weapons."

"It was difficult for him to stay out of the water for long periods of time. I mean, he was swimming or diving every few days."

…

Audrey memorized them one by one, and sketched and fleshed out the character named Qilingos in her mind.

"I hope it will be successful and we can have a pleasant cooperation." After An Jing listened, she smiled and said.

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Alger could only force himself to believe in Miss Justice, who was very powerful in Backlund.

During their conversation, Klein seemed to be listening carefully, but in fact, his thoughts were wandering to a previous question, which was how to pay the other party if the "Sun" wanted to obtain the materials.

Having barely passed the test of mysticism, he habitually looked for ideas to solve problems in the field of ritual magic. This was a path dependency accumulated from previous successes.

"...I was looking through the internal documents of the Nighthawks before, and I saw records of the goddess bestowing holy objects on believers. Well, many sacrificial ceremonies involving evil gods and demons also have descriptions of the arrival of objects... Does this mean that when responding to prayers, I can 'bestow' the other party with objects, thereby completing the payment of materials..."

“In my previous attempts, I could only respond to thoughts that included images and sounds… But this doesn’t mean it will always be like this… Once I advance to Sequence 8 and stabilize, perhaps there will be new changes…”

"In addition, there is another key point. Can I bring real materials or objects into the gray fog? Um... er... yeah, those sacrificial rituals involving evil gods and demons often include a 'sacrifice' link! Can I consider 'sacrificing' things to myself?"

"In this way, perhaps we can really bring real materials and objects above the gray fog..."

"If the attempt is successful, I can directly obtain items and materials from 'Justice', 'The Sun' and 'The Hanged Man', and then 'bestow' them on myself..."

"Well, 'sacrifice' is a relatively advanced ritual, which I cannot access for the time being..."

"The most important thing at the moment is to improve myself as quickly as possible!"

Klein collected his thoughts and continued to listen to the three members' conversation with a profound attitude, listening to their discussion from Qilingos' matter to the characteristics of certain monsters.

After a while, he smiled and said:

"That's all for today."

"It's your will." Derrick the Sun, Justice, and the Hanged Man stood up at the same time.

After cutting off contact with the three members, Klein quickly fell into the gray fog and left the mysterious space.

Back in the bedroom, he removed the spiritual wall and opened the curtains of the bay window to let in the sunlight from outside.

"There are two important things this week. One is to take the test and advance to Sequence 8. The other is to create the 'Sun Flame Talisman'. Its power will even exceed that of Sequence 7 and Sequence 6..." Klein looked at the street outside and thought expectantly, "Tomorrow, tomorrow I should be able to receive a report on the supernatural events that Mr. Azik has created!"
