Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 21: A Deal with Miss Justice
Alger and Audrey did not see anything wrong with this.

Klein, who was praised, barely maintained his movements and pretended that nothing was wrong, treating the words as a simple compliment.

What else could he do?

Star was not too embarrassed. After a while, he printed out the formula of the "Audience" potion and handed it to Miss "Justice".

At the same time, he kindly reminded her, "Miss Justice, remember to meditate after taking the potion to control your spirituality and strength. Remember to adjust your behavior every day according to the symbolic connotation of the name of the Audience potion."

Alger, who was standing next to him, remembered that he still owed Miss Justice a debt, and he also spoke up, "Yes, you must practice meditation 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 symbolic meaning of the potion focuses on its 'name', such as 'audience'!"

Klein had originally intended to listen quietly, but now he had an idea, so he 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, but also an image, and it is also the 'key' to digestion."

When Alger heard this, he was shocked.

He didn't expect that his words would spark Mr. Fool's advice, helping him to clarify many things.

After a while, he raised his head and thanked Klein 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.”

Seeing this, Star added, “Yes, what Mr. Fool said is forbidden to spread in the Seven Orthodox Churches.”

Prohibited from spreading?

When the three people nearby heard what Star said, they all looked over, and even Klein forgot about asking for payment.

"That's right. What Mr. Fool has told us is a key method to quickly digest the potion - the role-playing method."

"The requirement of role-playing is to make your behavior match the connotation behind the name of the potion. You need to understand the rules behind the name of the potion, summarize the corresponding 'principles', and act according to the principles."

"Although this method allows Beyonders to quickly digest the potion and prevent it from getting out of control, it can also easily breed some problems."

"The resources in the world are constant. If everyone advances too quickly, there won't be enough extraordinary materials for people to continue to advance."

"And if the wild Beyonders knew about this method, their strength would increase, which would make the church even more worried."

"Besides, some paths involve playing evil, which makes it easier to digest. For example, the 'instigator' in the assassin path often instigates others to commit murders."

"Under such circumstances, the major Orthodox churches have banned the spread of the method of acting internally in order to maintain stability. Even if someone discovers the method of acting themselves, they must make a promise and take a vow not to tell others about it."

"Of course, those who discover their own 'acting method' may be trained by the church, which is also a screening mechanism."

"This is also the reason why few people know about this method even though it is so important and not difficult to understand with the reference of the potion name."

After Star finished speaking this long paragraph, he found that there was something wrong in the way several people looked at him.

What should I say?

It's hard to tell the expression on Xiao Ke's face, but I guess he is studying hard at the moment. I said this so that he can tell Dunn as soon as he finds a way to act, otherwise his dissemination will be restricted.

The political commissar seemed to have recalled something, probably thinking about how some gifted people in the church were promoted.

As for Miss Justice, she, who was very yearning for the extraordinary world, was constantly thinking about the implications of what she had heard.

Star's guess of what he was thinking was pretty accurate, except for one thing he didn't know.

That is, Mr. "The Hanged Man" increasingly suspected that Star was the heir of a family with ancient heritage, because the knowledge that Star casually mentioned really surprised him.

Realizing the significance of acting to an Extraordinary, he did not believe that this was knowledge that an Extraordinary without any background could know.

The political commissar, who did not want to owe a favor to this gentleman, no, to two gentlemen, said hastily, “This is an extremely valuable secret. May I ask what Mr. Fool and Mr. Wheel of Fortune would like in return?”

"Help me collect the secret diary of Roselle Gustav. I am a person who likes equal exchange. The advance payment just now is equivalent to two pages of diary for each person. If there is any surplus, I will give you extra." Klein remembered the advice that Star had given and said calmly.

Then he looked at Star, and after some hesitation, he said, "As for Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune', he already knows the specific methods involved, so there is no need to pay him for this." Besides, if we really talk about compensation, I don't know how many pages of diaries I would have to pay for the knowledge I got from Senior Star.

I only have a vague understanding of the role-playing method, and it was Senior Star who gave me the information.

Klein couldn't help but think of the mystical knowledge that Senior Star had taught him so far.

Does this count as a “Novice Village Mentor”?
He started complaining to himself.

Of course, after being exposed, Klein was too embarrassed to ask Staso for too much, as he would be ridiculed.

Audrey and Alger on the side had no objection, after all, Mr. "Wheel of Fortune"'s erudition was obvious to everyone.

The political commissar did notice this detail in the diary, but after seeing Mr. Fool’s mysterious method of making paper and pen appear to record, he did not doubt it out loud, but just quietly wrote down the order.

Star also stated his request: "I currently need a Lucky Person's Beyonder Characteristics. If anyone has bought it, please give it to me. Then another person can help me buy the other Beyonder Characteristics I need."

As for his own advancement to Sequence 8, the Sequence 8 "Madman" potion probably wouldn't cause any problems, so he should think more about the Beyonder characteristics required for future advancements.

As for the auxiliary materials of the potion, with the extraordinary characteristics, Xiao Ke can also divine the potion formula for himself above the Source Castle.

Xiao Ke has learned a lot of knowledge from him for free so far, so he is willing to do some hard labor.

"Extraordinary characteristics, what are those?"

Audrey looked at Klein in confusion, praying that Mr. Fool could give her some answers.

Ah this.

Can I say I don't know either?

Klein's blind spot in knowledge was exposed. Fortunately, Star came to his rescue in time and explained, "When a Beyonder dies, the Beyonder characteristics are revealed."

"It is roughly equivalent to a potion of the corresponding sequence, except that it lacks certain auxiliary materials."

"This is also the law of the indestructibility of extraordinary characteristics. Extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed or reduced. They will only be transferred from one thing to another."

"Another reason why the church controls roleplaying is also due to this consideration - more people who have the need to be promoted may regard the Beyonders around them as walking 'Extraordinary Characteristics', thus causing a chaotic and bloody situation."

How could it be so cruel?

Audrey never expected that behind the mysterious world that she had longed for since she was a child, there was actually such darkness.

It took her a while to comfort herself. Fortunately, there were several major orthodox churches protecting everything.

Her emerald eyes, like gemstones, turned and when she saw that the Hanged Man showed no sign of surprise or reflection, she immediately realized that this Tarot Club member had known this law for a long time.

I’m the only one who doesn’t know… She thought a little aggrievedly, but soon she began to thank Mr. “Wheel of Fortune” for his kindness in giving her some “popular science”.

At this time, Star next to her continued, "Of course, if what I said is not enough to pay the difference, I will buy the Beyonder Characteristics in your hands at a specific price, which is about 1000 pounds."

It’s not that Star doesn’t want to pay, but thinking that Klein will teach them acting techniques semi-free in the future, it’s not a good idea to put too much value on this knowledge.

Then I can just symbolically deduct a few hundred pounds from the cost of trading Sequence 7 Beyonder Characteristics. This is not too unscrupulous.

Anyway, the most important thing is to establish a knowledgeable personality for Klein, as many subsequent arrangements will depend on this personality.

And if he fails to get promoted, these won't be useful...

Miss Justice felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had gained so much important knowledge, but without any extraordinary channels, she couldn't help much in this regard.

So, she, who had the "money power", made a proposal that made Star very excited: "How about Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune', give me some more suggestions about playing the role of 'audience', and then I will help you pay the price of this extraordinary characteristic."

Star's eyes lit up.

This wave, this wave, someone is rushing to give money.
