Listening to Will Auceptin's "crying", Klein really didn't know what expression to use in response, so he had to keep his face expressionless.
When the baby wrapped in silver silk calmed down, he spoke doubtfully:
"Even if I had told you earlier, it would have been useless. When I met you, you had already 'restarted'."
"No, at that time I was still Will Auceptin, without the last name Chris, and I've been 'restarted' for a long time." The chubby baby wiped his tears and said, "Although there is still a long way to go before adulthood, as long as I am willing to take certain risks, I can take them. With the luck I have accumulated, such risks can be resolved. But now the gap is too big, there is no way to make up for it."
Klein thought for a moment and said carefully:
"Maybe I can find an angel from the 'Thief' path to steal your time and make you grow up faster."
Will Auceptin was still sobbing a little, shaking his head and saying:
"It's useless... They can't steal my 'childhood' and 'youth' accurately. If it's just the survival time, it won't make me grow, it will just reduce the original life span... By then, Will Auceptin Chris will die young. He was born in June 1350 and died in October 1350 at the age of four months..."
"But I have seen examples of accelerated aging due to stolen time." Klein recalled what he had seen in Amon's Tomb.
The chubby baby is still shaking his head:
"No, it's just a symbolic expression. If it were applied to me, this baby would start to have wrinkles and his hair would turn white...
"If I really want to steal 'childhood' and 'youth' accurately, I can only ask Amon, and the real body must come in person..."
At this point, the baby wrapped in silver silk and Klein fell silent at the same time. No one spoke for a long time.
If Amon is found, what may be stolen is not just "childhood" and "youth".
After a while, Klein let out a breath without disguising:
"Then don't think about it for now. However, I still want to know where I can get a way to contain 'uniqueness'. If I have the chance, I must not miss it. Who knows, it may come in handy someday in the future."
Will Auceptin put down his hands that were wiping away tears, sniffed and said:
"No need to ask others, I have already got it, but I just can't do it. Otherwise, do you think that I, the speaker of the School of Life, am fake?"
"..." Klein asked in surprise and curiosity, "Why can't I do it?"
Will Auceptin pulled the small blanket in the stroller and said:
"There are three ways to contain 'uniqueness'. One is to be born with it, which is equivalent to activating 'uniqueness' and integrating it with human nature. The second is to activate 'uniqueness' to a certain extent, and then forcibly take it into the body, relying on the power of the Creator to suppress it, and use a long time to wear it away bit by bit, adapt, and achieve balance. The third is to mix 'uniqueness' into an incomplete magic potion and take it with a simplified version of the god-making ceremony.
"The first one is self-explanatory. This is what the brothers are envied for. The second one has been impossible to accomplish since the fall of the ancient sun god. The third one is the only feasible one at present, but for a Sequence 1 of the Destiny pathway, it all depends on how fate will arrange it."
The first point was mentioned by Emperor Roselle in his diary. It was said by Mr. Door... Does the second point mean that after the ancient sun god mastered multiple powers, he was actually at least half a level higher than the current true god, or even a creator? Klein asked thoughtfully:
"What do you mean by leaving it to fate? What does this have to do with what I said earlier about helping you accommodate your 'uniqueness'?"
Will Auceptin's chubby baby face showed an expression of admiration:
"The deification ritual of the 'Destiny' path may be the simplest, or it may be the most difficult.
“As long as we can find the right opportunity in the torrent of fate, we can directly take the potion and try to advance.
"But the problem is that the exact opportunity cannot be predicted or foreseen, and cannot be locked in by any method. I can only eliminate certain interferences and patiently experience and search. I have 'restarted' countless times and spent an extremely long time, but still, I still haven't encountered it..."
At this point, the baby's tears began to flow again.
It sounds so simple, but in reality it all depends on fate and "face"... Klein sighed and asked with enlightenment:
"When I said I would help you accommodate your 'uniqueness', did you vaguely grasp that opportunity?"
The chubby baby cried even more sadly:
"Although I haven't really found it yet...but I already have a certain premonition..."
...Is that so...When Will Auceptin contacted me, besides hoping to get help from "Yesterday Reappeared", was he also driven by luck? He's really a charlatan... Klein said, "Hmm."
"Then there is nothing we can do..."
"You can only give me a few more of those talismans!" Will Auceptin nodded heavily.
“Okay.” Klein responded without any hesitation, and then added, “You have to fold a few more paper cranes for me.”
After saying this, the baby wrapped in silver silk and he fell silent at the same time.
…………
Inside the rental house, Klein woke up from his dream, got up from his bed, walked to the room outside, took out a pen and paper, and began to write a letter to Leonard:
"...I have obtained some high-sequence spells from the 'Fortune Teller' pathway, which allow people to borrow power from their past selves..."
Klein did not raise the question of whether the poet classmate needed it, and seemed to be just making a simple description.
After folding the letter, he took out a gold coin and a rectangular diamond-like charm and played the adventurer's harmonica.
Renette Tinicole, wearing a gloomy and complicated long dress, walked out of the void carrying four blond and red-eyed heads, and all eyes were cast on the "Yesterday Repeat" spell at the same time.
The four heads spoke one after another:
"This time..." "We must..." "Deal with..." "Who..."
So direct... Klein sighed and smiled:
“It’s not confirmed yet.
"I will try to sabotage George III's plot next. I may need your help at a critical moment."
The four blond, red-eyed heads of Reinette Tinicole immediately answered:
“This…” “Sounds…” “Very…” “Dangerous…”
"I want..." "Add..." "Reward..."
“More of these spells?” Klein’s forehead jumped, as if he experienced the pain of tearing his soul again.
"Three..." Renette Tinicole, who had not spoken the second round of words, shook her head up and down.
…Klein forced a smile and said:
"No problem, but it will take one to two weeks."
One reason was that he had recently separated many "Spirit Bugs" and made a lot of "Yesterday's Talismans", which made him feel that he was close to his limit and had to rest for a while. The second reason was that he felt that in another one to two weeks, with the release of Miss "Magician's" new book, he should be able to digest the "Weird Wizard" potion and try to be promoted to "Ancient Scholar". By then, there might be a simpler and easier way.
Renette Tinicole's four heads moved up and down using their pulled hair to indicate that there was no problem.
Klein then pointed at the letter and the gold coins:
"Put it in the mailbox at 7 Pinster Street."
He had done some divination before and found out that Leonard was not at home and seemed to have gone to the south area of the bridge.
One of Renette Tinicole's heads popped up and sucked the letter, gold coins and the "Yesterday Reappears" spell into her mouth.
Watching the messenger lady step into the void and disappear in the room, Klein pondered for dozens of seconds and began to arrange the sacrifice and bestowal ceremony.
Now that the "Weird Wizard" potion was about to be completely digested, he would undoubtedly have to prepare various materials for the "Ancient Scholar" in advance.
Among them, the flocculent heart and white frost crystals of the Mist Demon Wolf seem to be obtainable from the Goddess of Night.
And with the fluffy heart of the Mist Wolf, he can go to the spirit world to "fish" for the Hound of Fulgrim.
After a busy period, Klein finished setting up the altar, took two steps back, and examined his surroundings.
"It's fairly clean... With the closure of the 'Spiritual Wall', it meets the requirements of the ritual... I haven't made any contributions recently, how should I pray for a blessing? Should I tell the goddess that I plan to take out a credit loan and repay it in installments... Wouldn't that be a bit blasphemous... Well, try to offer something valuable. If the goddess is willing to accept it, she will make a corresponding blessing...
“Something of value…” As he thought about it, Klein’s thoughts shifted to the pile of debris above the gray fog.
He really wanted to pack up the useless and temporarily unsellable biological toxin bottles, the "Interrogator" extraordinary characteristic, the "Madman" extraordinary characteristic, the Whisperer's aura, the Thousand-Faced Hunter's blood, the six-winged gargoyle eyeballs, the spirit world plunderer dust and other items and offer them to the goddess in exchange for the materials of the "Ancient Scholar". However, he felt that this would make the goddess look like a rag collector, so he had to give up the idea.
"It has to be of similar value... Groselle's Travels won't do. It contains a lot of secrets and might be very useful. By the way, next time Little Sun and the others explore the Giant King's Court, I can give them Groselle's ashes. I'm not sure how far they can explore this time, and I'm worried that they might return before they actually enter the Giant King's Court...
"'Seagod's Scepter'? This is more important. Not only is it my most powerful seal, but it also involves the Seagod's followers. It will be my anchor for a while. When I have more anchors, I can give it to Mr. 'The Hanged Man'...
"Hvin Rambis's extraordinary characteristics... This has been promised to Miss Justice..." After some thought, Klein found that he had few choices. One was the "Staff of Life", and the other was the "Yangyan" spell, the "Luck Stealer" spell, the "Yesterday Reappearance" spell, and the soul-controlling bullet.
The rest are disposable items. Even if they are added together, their actual value is not as much as the main material of the Sequence 3 potion... Moreover, when my ability to "transfer wounds" is improved again, I can also take on some of the functions of the "Staff of Life"... After hesitating for a while, Klein finally made a decision.
