Lin Zhongtian was a little surprised when he received the diary of Emperor Roselle sent by Klein. After a little thought, he took out a piece of paper, wrote words on it with his mind, and sent it to Klein.
Klein was startled for a moment, then he picked up the note and immediately perked up. He saw the following words on the note:
"Sequence 8 'Clown', the extraordinary materials require one crystal of the horn of an adult Hornachis gray goat and one complete human-faced rose. The auxiliary materials are 80 ml of pure water, 5 drops of Datura juice, 7 grams of black-edged sunflower powder, 10 grams of golden cloak grass powder, and 3 drops of poison hemlock juice."
"Sequence 7 'Magician' Extraordinary Materials require a real root of the Mist Tree Man and a Black Panther with Evil Marks..."
"Sequence 6 'Faceless Man'..."
"Sequence 5 'Master of Secret Puppetry'..."
This short piece of paper actually contained the complete potion formula for the Fortune Teller's Path from Sequence 8 to Sequence 5!
This is exactly what Klein needs right now. He was thinking that after this Tarot Club meeting, he would have to find a way to find clues to the formula of the Sequence 8 potion.
Unexpectedly, the potion formula was delivered to me before I even started to implement it.
Klein was excited and quickly put away the note, then expressed his gratitude to Lin Zhongtian in the chat group.
[Xiao Yan: Magic potion formula? ]
[Xiao Yan: Is this the power system of Lao Zhou's world? ]
[Ya Mu: That’s right. The world Klein came from is also a relatively special one among all the worlds. Their power system is different from the worlds of magic, fighting, and cultivation. Respecting power has a price, and knowledge is polluting.]
[Xiao Yan: Power has a price, I understand that, but why is knowledge polluting? ]
[Ya Mu: This is indeed difficult to explain. Mainly because I don’t want Klein to see it, lest he gets into trouble after knowing it.]
[Ya Mu: If you know what Cthulhu is, then it will be easy. You can completely regard this sequence potion system as a power system for climbing the Cthulhu pantheon.]
[Ya Mu: As far as I know, there are a total of 22 God Paths in the Sequence Potion System. Each God Path has 10 sequences from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0, and Sequence 0 is the true God at the top of this path.]
【Klein: Wait, Sequence 0 is the true God?】
[Yamu: Yes, don’t you know it now? ]
[Klein: I know that Emperor Roselle called these twenty-two paths the Path of God... I see. Since Sequence 0 is the true God, then this Path of God is the way to steal the authority of the true God.]
[Klein: No wonder the stone tablet that records the complete twenty-two sequence pathways is called the blasphemous stone tablet.]
【Klein: This so-called blasphemy refers to blasphemy against divine authority, right?】
[Yamu: That is indeed understandable.]
Klein was flipping through the diary of Emperor Roselle in his hand while silently communicating with Yamu in the chat group.
Through these two, he learned many secrets about his own world.
At the same time, from the perspective of Audrey and Alger, Mr. Fool and His Majesty the Emperor were reading the diary carefully, and the atmosphere at the Tarot Club suddenly became silent and quiet.
Lin Zhongtian looked at the pages of the book in his hand with great interest, and when he saw some interesting content, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Russell Gustav, whose real name was Huang Tao, was the second generation of Source Castle awakener before Klein or Zhou Mingrui.
He had 'traveled' to the body of a descendant of a fallen nobleman, and accidentally saw the existence of Extraordinary People. He thought he was the protagonist, so he joined the Craftsman Church and embarked on his own extraordinary journey.
After becoming a Beyonder, Roselle used his knowledge from his previous life and the Beyonder's ability to launch an industrial revolution in this medieval era. He also joined hands with the Craftsman Church to overthrow the rule of the Kingdom of Intis and became the first Archon of the New Republic.
Later, he fought wars across the country, conquered many kingdoms with advanced technology, and finally established an empire, calling himself Caesar the Great.
During his reign, the industrial reforms he initiated facilitated the digestion of the God of Craftsmen's magic potion, and the God of Craftsmen was officially renamed the God of Steam and Machinery...
As for the diaries that Klein asked the members of the Tarot Club to help collect, they were actually some manuscripts handed down after Roselle's death.
The words on these manuscripts are said to be secret codes created by the talented Emperor Roselle during his lifetime. No one can understand them, but the first time Klein saw them, he knew that these were the Chinese characters he was most familiar with.
Thanks to the fact that no one could understand it, Russell unscrupulously recorded many secrets and knowledge in Chinese characters.
Klein commissioned his members to collect the diary fragments, firstly to maintain Mr. Fool's status, and secondly to learn more secrets from this fellow villager's diary through this channel.
The page of the diary that Audrey delivered this time mainly involved the existence of the profane slate and the seal.
In addition, there is Mr. Zaratul of the ancient organization Secret Order, as well as some information related to fortune tellers and generalists.
Klein naturally attaches great importance to this secret information that is difficult to obtain in reality.
But Lin Zhongtian didn't care. What he wanted to see more was the gossip about Emperor Roselle. For example, after hitting a wall with Zaratul, Roselle had a grudge against the fortune teller and threatened to beat him up whenever he saw one...
"What a pity, I didn't get to see 'The Witch Tastes Good'..."
Lin Zhongtian smacked his lips twice, slowly put down the remaining pages of his diary, and looked at Klein across from him.
Because Klein also had to distract himself from communicating with Yamu in the chat group, his reading speed slowed down.
When Lin Zhongtian finished reading the whole thing, he had only read half of it.
After a while, Klein finally finished reading all the text, then he closed the book and turned his gaze to Audrey and Alger.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
“It’s our pleasure!”
Audrey lowered her swan-like neck and saluted Mr. Fool with a faint smile. According to the usual practice, after Mr. Fool finished reading the diary, it was the turn of the Tarot Club members to communicate freely.
Audrey looked at Mr. The Hanged Man and said, "Where can I find the Psychological Alchemy Society?"
The Psychological Alchemy Society is a new organization that has only appeared in the last one or two hundred years. It believes in the power of the mind and controls the "audience" channel.
Audrey has become a spectator of Sequence 9. If she wants to continue to climb up, she will inevitably have to deal with this secret organization.
Hearing Audrey's question, Alger the Hanged Man looked at her deeply and said softly, "If it were before today, I would have advised you not to rush to find the Psychological Alchemy Society. After all, digesting the potion is a long process."
“But after today, I guess you should be like me. Thanks to the gift from His Majesty the Emperor, you have digested most of the potion. With the potion acting method taught by Mr. Fool, you will not be far from completely digesting it…”
When talking about 'His Majesty the Emperor' and 'Mr. Fool', Alger stood up and bowed respectfully to each of them, acting as if he was facing two real gods.
Audrey observed this and secretly warned herself not to be so rash in the future.
"……so what?"
Audrey looked at Alger expectantly.
Alger shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't have any clues about the Psychological Alchemy Society at the moment, but I can help you keep an eye out."
Then why did you say so much just now?
Audrey was a little disappointed, but she still nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Hanged Man..."
After she finished speaking, Audrey thought for a moment and then said, "From what you said last time, it seems that there are many secret organizations besides the Psychological Alchemy Society. Mr. Hanged Man, could you please tell me in detail about the various mysterious organizations and secret sects?"
"It's hard for me to get to know these things in my daily life. I can only learn about them through you. If you are willing to tell me about them, I will pay you enough. What do you want?"
Hearing Audrey's words, Alger's heart moved, and he said calmly: "I need a sum of money, 1,000 pounds, preferably non-consecutive banknotes or freshly mined gems..."
1,000 pounds?
Klein's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously felt that this was a huge sum of money.
But then he remembered that he still had a much larger sum of money that he had not yet collected.
A mere thousand pounds is nothing compared to his mountain of gold worth millions of pounds...
Just as Klein was comforting himself, Audrey first looked surprised, and then replied in a brisk and joyful tone:
"No problem. Will you still deliver it to the same address as before?"
Alger was silent for a moment, then replied, "Yes..."
"etc!"
At this moment, Lin Zhongtian, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke.
Audrey and Alger immediately shut up and turned their gazes toward the Emperor, showing him the full respect.
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Since we want to trade, we might as well use a safer and more secretive channel."
Alger was stunned for a moment, then said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Lin Zhongtian turned his head to look at Klein and chuckled, "Haven't we tried something similar before? If possible, I suggest we try some more advanced attempts, such as sacrificial ceremonies and divine ceremonies..."
After these words came out, Audrey and Alger were stunned.
Of course they knew about this ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods and receiving rewards from the gods, but this type of ritual could actually be used for transactions among Tarot Club members. Wasn't this a bit hasty?
For a moment, countless complex emotions surged in the hearts of both of them.
Klein's eyes widened as well, and he quickly sent a message in the chat group.
[Klein: Boss, I have never learned any sacrificial rituals. Aren't you trying to trick me?]
【Emperor Ziwei: Don’t worry, I can teach you. 】
[Emperor Ziwei: If you can't learn it, you can rely on me to complete the transaction! ]
【Klein: Do you have similar abilities?】
[Emperor Ziwei: Nonsense, have you heard of the Star Lord's Precious Edict? I have many more prayers than you! ]
After saying that, Lin Zhongtian immediately posted the content of "Star Lord's Precious Edict" or "Purple Star Edict" in the chat group.
Looking at the honorable titles such as "Daluo Tianque", "Ziwei Xinggong", "Master of All Things", "Ruler of the Heavens", and "Wuji Yuanhuang" that were frequently used in the article, Klein couldn't help but have a headache.
Klein was not surprised that the great Emperor Ziwei would have such an honorable title.
What bothered him was how to translate these Chinese characters, which were naturally "compressed packages", into the native language.
When he thought of this, Klein had the urge to flip the table.
After a little thought, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do it. You teach me now!"
