...A god-like reason...After hearing the pharmacist's answer, Klein, the "clown", couldn't control the changes in his expression. Fortunately, he still had an iron mask on his face.

The pharmacist didn't notice the reactions of Klein and the old man "Eye of Wisdom" and continued to talk on his own:

"So, I like Backlund very much. There are many streetwalkers here. They appear outside music halls and theaters, and wait in the streets and alleys. Some of them are professional, some are part-time, and they were originally female workers and maids. They have different flavors. It is said that in some places in the West District, bankrupt noble ladies occasionally appear. It is really desirable."

“…” Klein pushed the iron mask that covered the upper half of his face and quickly changed the subject. “Does your teacher have any objection to your choice?”

The pharmacist shook his head slightly and said:

"No, he just kicked me out after teaching me the knowledge in the field of herbs, and told me to travel around the continent and experience life. Damn it, he didn't even tell me where to find the subsequent potion ingredients!"

Having said this, the pharmacist looked at Klein and added:

"If you know where to find the medullary crystal of the 'Fountain of Elves', please tell me and I will pay you. Of course, you can also buy it first and then sell it to me at a higher price. You are a lucky guy and you may be able to help me fulfill my wish."

"Okay." Klein agreed casually and asked thoughtfully, "When the time comes, can I use it to exchange for the potion formula of the Pharmacist?"

In his opinion, "pharmacist" is a very useful auxiliary profession that can be used to train helpers.

The pharmacist, who was not too fat but rather plump, shook his head quickly and said:

"no!"

“I can only teach my students.”

Is this the rule of the School of Life? Maybe a secret existence was used as a witness to swear an oath... Klein thought without surprise.

At this moment, the pharmacist said:

"But I can tell you where to get the pharmacist's formula. It's in Backlund."

“Very good.” Klein was quite surprised.

Noticing that the old man "Eye of Wisdom" was about to send him away, he hurriedly asked:

"Mr. Pharmacist, do you have any potions for treating mental disorders and other problems?"

Klein was performing this for the bodyguard, making her more certain that he had been slightly influenced by the "True Creator" and had become a potential lunatic, and was trying hard to seek treatment.

"Yes, sedatives, 10 soli per bottle. I'll bring you four bottles for the next party. Believe me, these are definitely more useful than the ones in the hospital. I've added some spiritual materials." The pharmacist answered without hesitation.

It's really expensive... In Tingen's underground market, sedatives from hospitals are 1 to 2 soli per bottle, while those from the Nighthawks, the Punishers, and the Mechanical Hearts are 4 to 5 soli per bottle... As the thought flashed through his mind, Klein acted like a show and looked at the Eye of Wisdom and said:

"Dear sir, can I come to the next party?"

"Yes, your performance these two times proved your goodwill, young man. Pay attention to the daily Backlund Morning Post. When the advertisement for Ernst Company's purchase of goods appears on the fifth page, it means that there will be a party here at 8 o'clock the next night. The intensity and interval of knocking on the door will be based on the quotation. The first number is the number of heavy knocks, the second is the number of light knocks, the third is the long interval, the fourth is the short interval, and the ones after that are meaningless." The old man "Eye of Wisdom" nodded.

After describing the information, he sighed and said:

"Life for Extraordinaries who are not affiliated with the official organization is not as good as you think. On the one hand, they must hide secrets, avoid the official, and always be cautious and careful. On the other hand, they must fight against loss of control and madness. Too many of our kind have died because of these two things."

“Even if we successfully avoid official attention and avoid being out of control and going crazy, we may still run into difficulties at any time, such as lack of materials, inability to find the items we want, and inability to obtain sufficient knowledge. I organized such a gathering so that everyone can help each other.”

"Unfortunately, this is an era of mystery scarcity, and many extraordinary materials rarely appear anymore."

Yes, but I have Mr. Hanged Man who knows the coordinates of some primitive islands, and Mr. Sun from Silver City who is always fighting against various monsters in the depths of darkness. I can rely on them for some extraordinary materials... Klein half stood up politely and saluted to Mr. Eye of Wisdom.

“Your character is admirable.”

After sitting down again, Klein suddenly remembered something and asked carefully:

"Gentlemen, do you have any magical items? Like the ones Black Snake sold me, but nothing too serious or negative. I want some self-protection ability."

His plan was to first find something of interest, figure out the price, and then target accordingly.

Although I don't have money now, it doesn't mean I won't have it in the future... Can't I ask the price if I don't have money? Klein added silently in his mind.

The pharmacist spread out his hands, indicating that he didn't have any or wouldn't sell them if he did. The old man with the "Eye of Wisdom" laughed and said:

"I do have some. What kind would you like to buy? Give me a rough range."

Some... He is probably a "generalist" who relies on external things to reach the Beyonder level... Klein said without hiding his envy:

"I need someone stronger than myself, not someone who can improve his fighting skills, but someone who has magical abilities."

He didn't go into too much detail in order to maintain his image as a newcomer.

The Eye of Wisdom smiled and said:

"I have an item that would be perfect for your needs. It was once codenamed '2-081'."

“2-081?” Klein asked in confusion.

His doubt was just a disguise on the surface, and he was more shocked inside.

Is this a sealed object that came out from the Goddess Church, from behind the Chanis Gate? Klein didn't expect to encounter a familiar digital code here.

The Eye of Wisdom casually explained a few words:

"Many magical items have obvious hidden dangers and can cause certain harm. Therefore, the churches of the seven orthodox gods are collecting and sealing them. They are called 'sealed objects' and are distinguished by numerical codes."

"After a long period of debate and communication, the Church of the Seven Gods formed a unified nomenclature, using '0', '1', '2', and '3' to identify different levels of danger. Among them, '0' is the most dangerous, and it is said that there are some terrible items that can destroy a country or even the world."

"The churches of the seven orthodox gods will inform each other on the '0' and '1' level seals, telling each other which ones they have. Therefore, the code names of '0' and '1' levels will not be repeated. The '2' and '3' levels are ranked separately, and different churches may have the same code name."

Klein had already known the general situation within the Nighthawks, but he was very confused about one question:

"Inform each other of the code names of your Level 0 and Level 1 Sealed Objects?"

Isn't this a disclosure of the family's assets? It will let other churches know how many cards they have!

Of course, this can also be seen as a strategic deterrent to avoid direct conflict between the Seven Gods Churches... Klein thought about the possible reasons.

"Yes, although I cannot understand the reason for doing so, it did happen. It is said that it was an agreement reached by the seven major churches at the end of the Fourth Epoch and the beginning of the Fifth Epoch." The old gentleman "Eye of Wisdom" said at a moderate pace, "My '2-081' comes from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. It can let you know a lot and understand a lot. Even if the enemy has extraordinary abilities, you can quickly identify the specific situation, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and have a chance to imitate them to a certain extent. The stronger the opponent, the higher the possibility of failure. Of course, even if you succeed, it will definitely be very different from the original."

It sounds powerful... Proof that knowledge equals power? In the end, will omniscience equal omnipotence? Hmm... I take back my previous judgment. The old man "Eye of Wisdom" may not be an "appraiser". His identification of items may rely on the Sealed Artifact "2-081"... Klein was secretly shocked and asked with great interest:

"So, what should I pay for it?"

"What's wrong with it?"

"It will keep your brain running at high speed all the time. Once the time limit is exceeded, you will become an idiot." The "Eye of Wisdom" answered simply, without describing the details in detail.

At this time, the pharmacist next to him muttered:

"Maybe your brain is damaged. You keep talking about your collection. Sooner or later, someone will rob you and kill you!"

Sir, your words of advice are never so pleasant to the ear... Klein couldn't help but mutter inwardly.

The Eye of Wisdom laughed and said:

"How do you know I didn't say it on purpose, waiting for the greedy to take action?"

"Well, it's just like the fishing enforcement that Emperor Roselle once described."

After the laughter stopped, he patted the armrest of the sofa and sighed: "As a collector, it is very painful not to be able to show off my collection to others."

He then looked at Klein:

"I'm sorry, but I won't sell '2-081'. It's my best collection. I bought it for 6,800 pounds. A seal of this level costs between 4,000 and 20,000 pounds, depending on its specific function and hidden dangers. But most of the time, you can't buy it even if you have money."

Then why are you saying so much... Klein controlled the twitch at the corner of his mouth.

The old man, Eyes of Wisdom, seemed to have noticed his reaction and laughed:

"There are two items I really want to recommend. One is a brooch that can grant you the ability to exorcise evil spirits, purify, and use some sun-domain spells. The downside is that as long as you wear it, you will never feel cool and will always be in the hot summer in the south. The other is a hat that can change shape. Wearing it, you can move freely underwater for at least half an hour and use some water and wind-domain spells. The downside is that you will crave water, and once you walk on the ground, you will become weaker and weaker."

"Similar items cost between £1,500 and £3,500. Similarly, sometimes, even if you double the price, you may not be able to buy them because they rarely appear. It took me more than 30 years to collect a few."

Klein nodded slightly:

"I'll think about it and decide at a future gathering."

At this point, he smiled deliberately:

"And I don't have that much money right now."

ps: There will be early updates in the early morning.
