In the windowless basement, Alger Wilson, with his rough and deep features, sat beside a long table filled with various utensils and parchment scrolls.

In front of him, a half-burned candle stood. The dim and weak flame illuminated the surrounding objects and the surface of the long table, making the light and shadows float and hazy.

Alger's hair was messy like seaweed, dark blue almost black in color. He wore a robe embroidered with lightning patterns. He clasped his hands together, thumbs together, and leaned forward to stare at a bottle of black medicine to the left of the candle.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

Crash! Crash! Crash!

From the sealed bottle there could sometimes be heard the sound of howling wind and sometimes the sound of the surging sea, and in the places that were not submerged by the pitch-black liquid, a faint mist filled the air and moved, as if it had grown eyes and a mouth.

Alger turned his head to glance at the clock on the wall and saw that the hour hand was pointing to three o'clock.

He pinched his temple, and his eyes suddenly turned dark, and the various utensils on the table also took on a subtle luster.

At this moment, he found that a deep red light emerged like a tide, appearing out of nowhere and submerging him in an instant!

…………

Backlund, Queens, in the Hall family's luxurious villa.

After sending the dance teacher away, Audrey locked the door and sat upright in front of the dressing table.

The sun is shining outside the window, the flowers are blooming brightly, and a blank notebook bound with delicate light brown parchment is quietly spread out on the table. To the right of it is a fountain pen with a golden tip and a body inlaid with red gems.

Audrey tried it and made sure that as soon as she left the "party", she could pick up the pen and write down the recipe as quickly as possible.

"I'm really looking forward to it..." She took a breath, suppressed her excitement, pursed her lips and looked at the mirror.

However, she could not see her own reflection, only a deep red and illusory light burst out from all around and from within her body at the same time!

…………

Above the gray fog, in a temple that was as majestic as the residence of the Giant King.

The two sides of the long bronze table blossomed with deep red, surging up like a fountain and falling down in large numbers, "carving" out two blurry figures. Their positions had not changed at all compared to the last time.

Audrey, a tall woman with smooth blonde hair, looked up instinctively, and saw a figure shrouded in thick gray fog, sitting back with one hand flat on the edge of the table, and the other hand clenched, gently twisting his chin.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~!" Audrey called out in a cheerful tone.

Then, she turned her head, looked across, and spoke in the same tone:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man~!"

This girl is really heartless. Just because she is sure that I am a good person, she is not afraid at all? A well-protected noble girl? Klein smiled and maintained his mysterious image.

"Good afternoon, Miss Justice."

While speaking, he lowered his head slightly, raised his clenched left hand, and tapped his eyebrows twice.

What he saw suddenly changed, and he saw the aura emanating from "Justice" and "The Hanged Man"!

The surrounding gray fog and crimson stars did not change. There was no appearance of anything that seemed to be non-existent or a bright light that seemed to have some life.

Turning his eyes slightly, Klein saw that the color of Justice's aura was exactly in line with Old Neil's description. It was red where it should be red, purple where it should be purple, blue where it should be blue, and white where it should be white. It was also bright and had the right thickness. At first glance, she was clearly a girl full of energy.

"Her emotions are red and yellow, happy, enthusiastic, and excited..." Klein made a judgment and turned his attention to the Hanged Man.

Similar to Justice, the Hanged Man's aura color is nothing special, except that his emotions are blue with a hint of orange.

“Calm down, think, be cautious, and be a little bit satisfied?” Klein came to this conclusion with little confidence as it was his first attempt.

Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly discovered something strange.

The innermost layer of the aura of the "Hanged Man", the colors and feelings seem to be completely unified!

Klein concentrated his mind and looked carefully again. He vaguely saw that the deep part of the Hanged Man's "etheric body" was a deep blue color like the sea water, giving people the feeling of strong winds and waves.

"His 'Astral Body'? Or the surface of the 'Astral Body'? From this point of view, he is truly a Beyonder, and seems to be even more powerful than Old Neil." Klein's thoughts were in a mess, and his heart was full of doubts. "Not necessarily. Maybe it's just because of this special environment, and because this is my home court, that I can see these things. It's not that Old Neil doesn't have similar performances."

He turned his head and looked at "Justice" again, confirming that it was something special that only extraordinary people possessed.

At this time, Alger also finished greeting.

Audrey took a deep breath and asked expectantly:

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man', did you receive the box of ghost shark's blood?"

Alger glanced at Klein and saw him tapping his brows, as if he was thinking about something else.

"Thank you very much. It perfectly meets all my expectations. I really didn't expect you to deliver it so quickly. The blood of the ghost shark is not an ordinary extraordinary thing." Alger answered frankly.

Audrey smiled modestly and said:

“I am very happy to see the result.”

Because she had been interested in mysterious things since she was a child, she made some friends with the same hobbies in the aristocratic circle. They would exchange information, books and rare items with each other, but before that, no one had acquired supernatural powers and become a true extraordinary person. However, several princes had hinted that if she was willing to become a princess, she would get the gifts she wanted.

However, this time she got the ghost shark blood directly from the family treasure house. Anyway, the list only recorded "a large bottle" without recording the number of milliliters or whether it was full or not. She believed that if she poured out a small half of it, no one would notice. Even if something unexpected happened and the matter was exposed, her parents would not pursue the matter.

Alger took another deep look at the Fool shrouded in the gray fog, turned around, and said with a smile:

"According to the agreement, I will tell you the recipe of this potion, 'audience'."

"I'll get ready. Okay, let's get started." Audrey took a breath and focused all her attention.

"The preparation of low-sequence potions is very simple. Just put them in according to the order given. But you must remember that it is better to have less ingredients than more. That will cause big problems. You should have heard of Beyonders losing control. I don't need to repeat it, right?" Alger first explained the precautions.

Audrey nodded slightly and said:

"I understand perfectly."

While speaking, she glanced sideways at Mr. Fool, wanting to know if this mysterious and powerful man had anything to add. Unfortunately, in her sight, Mr. Fool was sitting there quietly, like a statue.

Alger thought for a moment and said:

"A little less doesn't mean too far off...If you don't have a helper, I recommend taking the time to get familiar with chemistry experiments first."

"I have a tutor for this subject." Audrey answered without any burden.

Alger went on to explain the maximum degree of deviation and other matters, and then he recited fluently:

"'Audience', sequence 9 potion, 80 ml of pure water, 5 drops of Colchicum essence, 13 grams of Oxtooth Peony powder, 7 petals of Elf Flower, a pair of eyes of an adult Manhar fish, and 35 ml of Sheephorn Blackfish blood."

"The last two are the main materials, both of which come from marine supernatural species. You must be careful."

"Yes." Audrey repeated as she recalled, "80 milliliters of pure water, 5 drops of colchicum essence, 13 grams of ox teeth, ox teeth..."

"Peony powder." Alger reminded.

With the help of the other party, Audrey gradually memorized the formula in the correct order, but she was still not sure, and she kept muttering to herself, repeating it over and over again.

"Do you know how to meditate?" Alger continued when Justice nodded, "I don't know what meditation is like in your understanding. Let me describe it first... After taking the potion, start meditating as soon as possible to control your spirituality and strength... You must practice every day to truly master the power of the potion and dig out its symbolic meaning and more mysteries. Only in this way can you avoid the danger of losing control to the greatest extent. The focus of the potion's symbolic meaning lies in its 'name', such as 'audience'!"

Klein listened to their conversation quietly. He originally had no intention of interrupting them. He just memorized and learned secretly. But when he heard this, he suddenly had an idea.

Audrey listened carefully to the Hanged Man's explanation and was about to ask a few detailed questions when she suddenly heard a tapping sound on the table.

She and Alger turned their heads at the same time and looked at Klein the Fool who was sitting at the top. The mysterious strong man tapped his fingers and spoke in a low voice:

“It’s not about mastering, it’s about digesting.”

"It's not digging, it's acting."

"The name of the potion is not only a symbol and image, but also a 'key' to digestion."

Audrey was stunned and confused. She didn't quite understand what Mr. Fool wanted to express.

She subconsciously glanced at the "Hanged Man's" reaction, but was shocked to find that his body trembled and froze there, just like an ordinary person hearing a loud and sudden thunder.

"Digest, act... digest, act... digest, act, key..." Alger whispered over and over again, as if he had grasped some key or was under a strange spell.

After a while, he raised his head and said in a hoarse voice:

“Thank you, Mr. Fool. Your hint is as precious as my life. It helped me figure out a lot of things. Of course, I believe I still don’t fully understand them.”

Klein maintained his mysterious and profound image and said with a smile:

“This is advance payment.”

In fact, he himself didn't quite understand the exact meaning of those words just now, but he was sure that Emperor Roselle was stronger than ordinary Beyonders and stronger than the "Hanged Man".

Advance payment... Audrey saw the reaction of the Hanged Man and realized the value of the hint just now. While thinking about it, she asked:

"Mr. Fool, what do you want us to do?"

Alger on the opposite side nodded and said:

"What do you want to ask for?"

Klein leaned back slightly, glanced at both sides, and said in a low and soothing voice:

"Help me collect Roselle Gustav's secret diary, even if it's just one page."
