When the color of Klein's eyes returned to normal, Creste Cecima smiled and said:
"You can move around a bit, adjust to the changes in your body, and find the core abilities that the Joker potion brings."
Klein nodded, thinking that he might need the guidance of a senior deacon, so he didn't care about the presence of outsiders. He followed the content he had practiced repeatedly during this period of time, took a step forward, twisted his waist and swung his arms, pulled his shoulders and swung his arms, and suddenly threw a straight punch.
Bang!
He heard the crisp sound of his fist breaking through the air flow, and felt that the forward force was beyond his expectations.
At this moment, he felt like he was on a train that suddenly braked. He suddenly lost his balance and fell forward.
Oh no! I’m going to have the same dark history as Leonard… Klein had a flash of thought and was ready to fall. But at this moment, he found that he could still effectively control his muscles, body, and center of gravity in this situation!
The spine, tendons, ligaments, etc. exerted force at the same time, and he adjusted his center of gravity in an instant, standing steadily in a twisted posture.
Hmm... Klein, who had gained some enlightenment, performed several sets of movements in succession and confirmed that the biggest change in himself was that his body coordination had greatly improved. Without special circumstances, he would hardly have obvious imbalances.
"I feel like a tumbler... I can even perform acrobatics... Walking on water pipes isn't a difficult task... It's worthy of being called the 'Joker' potion..." Thoughts flashed through his mind as Klein tested the degree of improvement in his strength, agility, and speed.
“Well, it won’t be worse than Teacher Gawain’s current condition. Once I fully adapt and perform targeted training, I will definitely get stronger… and with my current ability to control my body, mastering fighting skills will also become easy…” Klein stopped and nodded thoughtfully.
In his original thought, it would take about half a year to barely become a good fighter, a good fighter in the ordinary people's definition. But after taking the "Joker" potion, he felt that maybe in a month, or even two or three weeks, he could become a "policeman" who was proficient in fighting.
This is the difference between extraordinary people and ordinary people.
The different "talents" of different extraordinary people have, in a sense, surpassed the human level!
Krestai quietly watched the new "clown" try various actions until he completely paused, then he nodded gently and said:
"It really is a magic potion for the fighting field."
Without waiting for Klein to speak, he asked:
"What did you hear?"
"I heard someone whispering 'Honakis.'" Klein temporarily concealed the word "Fregola".
He planned to observe the reaction of the senior deacon of Sesima first. If the other party was willing to talk about the things related to the Hornachis Mountains and the Kingdom of Darkness, he would use the excuse of hearing different content to fill in the omissions.
Krestai nodded slightly, skipped the topic, and reminded:
"You have to remember one thing. In the same Sequence Path, High-Sequence Powerful Ones can influence the corresponding Mid- and Low-Sequence Beyonders to some extent. Some of them, in a sense, are Demigods in the domain of that Path. The mumbling or screaming you heard may be the malicious content they intentionally conveyed."
"If this sequence belongs to a certain evil god, then we need to be more vigilant. I just talked to Dunn, and the night watcher who lost control in your team recently was in a similar situation."
Old Neil...Hidden Sage...Klein's expression darkened, and he nodded solemnly:
"Lord Cecima, I will remember this. I will not be seduced by those whispers and screams, and I will not be polluted by them."
At the same time, he thought of another thing:
Could this be the reason why the church only provides the "Sleepless" and "Corpse Collector" paths, and conceals most of the other sequences? After all, the former belongs to the "Goddess of Night", and is one of their own, while the "God of Death" corresponding to the latter has already fallen... The reason why "Secret Peeper" and "Fortune Teller" can still be chosen is because these two professions are auxiliary, which can effectively make up for the shortcomings of the "Sleepless" and "Corpse Collector" paths at Sequence 9 and Sequence 8, and they are the starting point, so the accumulated influence is not much...
But this doesn't explain why there is almost no information about the name of the potion, its corresponding characteristics, or what to pay attention to when encountering it...
At this moment, seeing Crestai Cecima picking up the box and preparing to leave, Klein quickly gathered his thoughts and asked in a consulting manner:
"Sir Cecima, I want to know how to play the role of a clown. Should I go to the circus?"
Creste adjusted his collar, which was standing upright, and said with a low laugh:
"According to current philosophical parlance, you are committing the error of formalism."
"You must understand that the name of a potion represents not only a profession, but also a type of people with common characteristics. For example, we can change the description of 'fortune teller' to 'people who peek into fate but also fear it'. Of course, as I mentioned earlier, the behavioral rules summarized by each person who takes the same potion are more or less different. You can't completely refer to other people's experience. Do you understand?"
Klein nodded thoughtfully:
"I think I understand a little bit. As long as I can grasp the essence, I can also play the role of 'clown' in life?"
"That's the theory," Krestey answered carefully.
“…I understand.” Klein drew a crimson moon on his chest and said, “Thank you, Your Excellency Cecima. May the goddess bless you.”
Well, what is the essence of "clown"? Without considering the various extended meanings of clowns on Earth, just looking at the current world, clowns are professions that entertain others in absurd ways, such as funny makeup, exaggerated movements, and acrobatic performances? The core is absurd methods, or entertaining others, it always feels wrong... Should I consider the court clowns of the past? Klein thought silently, and fell into confusion.
Krestey glanced at him and also pointed out the scarlet moon on his chest.
He said with a slight smile on his face:
"May the goddess bless you too."
At this moment, Klein suddenly had an intuition, almost a premonition, that Senior Deacon Cecima would take his left foot next!
Then, he saw Krestey carrying the silver-white box and taking his left foot towards the door of the alchemy room!
One step, two steps, three steps, Klein watched the other party walk out of the secret door and disappear into the underground passage.
This... He was stunned at first, then he felt a strong joy.
The extraordinary power of the "Joker" potion is stronger than he imagined!
I can actually rely on my intuition to predict the target's next move!
This ability, coupled with super coordination, outstanding agility and speed, and decent strength, is equivalent to the so-called skill-based fighting? Klein thought with sudden realization.
Well, this can be considered as a manifestation of the "Fortune Teller" ability at Sequence 8, but it is not enough... This path should indeed be the kind that gains a unique ability every time you advance to a high sequence... However, intuitive premonitions are fleeting, and there is no way to grasp them every time... Of course, this is strong enough. If you grasp it once, there is a great chance of turning defeat into victory... Oh yes, when the negative effects of the "Joker" potion are reduced to a controllable stage, I will have to try the ritual of "summoning" myself again. I almost forgot about this matter... Well, the captain must have infected me!
As various thoughts came to his mind, Klein examined himself again, trying to figure out whether the Joker potion had any other abilities.
According to the internal records of the Nighthawks, if a potion allows the person who takes it to master certain spells, then the Sequencer will be able to vaguely sense what the specific spells are after being promoted, just like being instilled with knowledge.
"But I don't. In other words, the Joker sequence is indeed as described in the Nighthawks' internal documents. It does not have the ability to cast spells quickly... Cunning means that I can now effectively control facial expressions and body language, making it easier for people to believe my lies?" Klein stretched his neck and carefully analyzed his own situation.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the tuxedo clown he had encountered before. The other party's strange and diverse spells left a deep impression on him:
"Well, this member of the Secret Society seems to be a Sequence 7 Beyonder. The reason he dressed up as a clown was purely to conceal his appearance, so as to avoid being wanted later... No wonder he was able to deal with two Sequence 7s and one Sequence 8 for so long... If he hadn't figured out that I was unaffected and was controlled by Sealed Artifact '2-049', ten of me might not be able to defeat him..."
"Of course, the Joker is not completely without magical abilities. He still has some spell-like abilities..."
Klein walked sideways to the long table and picked up the piece of paper with the Joker formula written on it.
His eyes darkened, and he flicked his wrist and threw the paper away.
Bang!
The soft paper was like a flying knife, piercing into the wall of the alchemy room!
“In the future, you can always carry a deck of tarot cards with you. You can use it for divination and as a weapon.” Klein retracted his attention and packed up the items left over from mixing the potion.
After dealing with all of this, collecting the remaining materials and burning the potion formula, he let out a breath, walked out of the alchemy room, and closed the secret door.
Because of Old Neil's incident, he was not in the mood to try to entertain everyone in an absurd way for the time being, and planned to wait until the slight spillover of the "Joker" potion was reduced by meditation before doing so.
Phew, it will be a brand new experience... No matter what, I am no longer a pure auxiliary staff... Well, after Old Neil passed away, I am the only member of Tingen's night squad who can provide auxiliary services. The Holy Temple should transfer at least one "secret peeper" or "fortune teller" to us from other places... Klein walked along the deep corridors illuminated by elegant gas lamps, approached the stairs in a desolate manner, and slowly returned to the Blackthorn Security Company floor by floor.
Then he saw the sunlight in the Nightwatchers' entertainment room.
The sunlight coming in from the bay window is pure and warm.
