Mystery: A Spark

"So that's how it is. Ugh, I feel like I'm a bit stupid. Arthas is so much younger than me, but he knows so much more than I do," Susie said, hanging her head in frustration.

No, Susie, this is mostly due to the difference in teaching ability between me and Little Arthas's master, and has little to do with you... Audrey sighed silently in her heart.

She crouched down and hugged the golden retriever to comfort it.

But in her heart, something else was on her mind.

After accidentally seeing a survey report about the East End in her father's study, Audrey became very worried about the poor living conditions of the people there.

She had originally intended to subtly draw the attention of lawmakers to the dire conditions in the Eastern District, the Factory District, and the Docklands, but at her two most recent social gatherings, she found herself unable to find the opportunity.

Because those nobles, those members of parliament, those senior government employees simply don't know how to talk about similar topics, so there's no way to guide them!

This greatly disappointed Audrey with these nobles and officials.

Because they, as the kingdom's high-ranking officials, would rather discuss trivial matters like how many ways there are to make wine than pay attention to the miserable living conditions of the lower classes.

Audrey was just an audience member, not a performer on stage.

Therefore, she could only guide from the sidelines, but could not participate herself.

……

It's Monday afternoon again.

Klein leisurely returned to 15 Minsk Street from the Krag Club.

Since Stuart has not yet given the preliminary results of the investigation, it is not appropriate for him to reunite with Benson Melissa for the time being, and the pharmacist's formula can not be used for the time being.

So, Klein had nothing to do yesterday and today, so he went to the Krag Club to practice shooting, read books, and, of course, get a free meal.

During this process, he got to know many club members.

"This is where the business came from..." Klein sighed, took four steps backward, and entered the gray fog.

He proceeded with the preparations step by step, first manifesting a mannequin "world," and then sending a message to "The Sun" that the tarot gathering was about to begin.

Having accomplished all this, Klein waited for three o'clock to arrive, then reached out to touch the crimson stars corresponding to each member.

After the figures of the members below appeared one by one, and since there were no new entries in the Roselle Diary, Klein manipulated the "world" to speak:

“I want to know information about the ‘Demon’ and ‘Guardian’ sequences.”

Instead of directly asking "The Sun," he issued the request to everyone because, according to the "setting," "The World," who had only recently joined the Tarot Club, could not possibly know that Silver City possessed the "Giants" pathway.

Although Arthur had previously purchased the "Guardian" sequence attribute from Little Sun during a Tarot session.

However, the "world" dummy had not yet been created at that time, so he could not and should not have known about this.

When it comes to maintaining a proper identity, Klein is a professional!

Chapter 147 Thirty pounds less, Klein is terribly shortchanged.

Above the gray fog.

After hearing the request from the world, Alger spoke:

"If it's just a demon sequence, I know a bit about it."

He was a member of the Church of the Righteous God and held a certain position within the church; after all, it was something that ordinary people couldn't do, like infiltrating a pirate camp.

To advance through the extraordinary path of becoming a demon, one must inevitably commit murder, and naturally, one will commit numerous related crimes.

Therefore, most orthodox churches have some understanding of this extraordinary path.

After saying that, Alger glanced at the chariot without making a sound.

He knew that Chariot was very likely also a member of the Church of the True God, and that the other party had previously purchased the Guardian's traits, so Chariot's understanding of the Demon and Guardian sequences was likely more extensive than his own.

But to Alger's surprise, it wasn't the chariot that spoke, but the sun.

"The Sun" Derrick Berg glanced at Alger, straightened his back, and said:

“I am very familiar with both of these sequences.”

"What I want in return is information related to the 'Fallen Creator'."

Whether the two pieces of information are equivalent is for Mr. 'Fool' to determine.

At this point, he realized that he had not asked Mr. Fool for permission, so he quickly turned to look at the person above him and respectfully made a request.

In Derrick's mind, exchanging intelligence for intelligence was a very worthwhile thing.

He discovered that the occult knowledge taught in their textbooks in Silver City, which everyone knew, seemed to have extraordinary value in the outside world.

Therefore, exchanging intelligence for intelligence is, to some extent, equivalent to getting something for free for him.

“Sun,” Klein said with a slight chuckle, “this isn’t my fault, you asked for it yourself…”

"can."

He's the buyer and the notary, so doesn't he get to decide the price?

If they were a bit more ruthless, they might even be able to swindle some money from Xiao Taiyang.

Of course, Klein would never do something so tasteless.

In fact, none of the Tarot Club members present here know as much about the "True Creator" as he does, since he is the one who has directly performed divination on the "True Creator".

After receiving an affirmative reply from Mr. Fool, the world readily agreed to the deal and even requested a private conversation.

How curious! Unfortunately, after paying Mr. Chariot over ten thousand pounds, I don't have much money left. I still need to save some to buy materials for a psychologist... Audrey looked away with some regret.

After shielding the members from sight and hearing, Klein manipulated the world and the little sun to begin exchanging information.

After entrusting most of his knowledge about the true creator to the little sun, Klein successfully obtained information about demons and guardians from the boy.

In Little Sun's narration, Klein learned that different races of creatures, after becoming "demons," develop different characteristics.

He suddenly realized that his previous speculation about the serial killer was somewhat flawed.

That is, he subconsciously believed that the other person was a human being, ignoring the possibility that the other person was another kind of being.

Realizing this, Klein did not hesitate to ask Little Sun about the common characteristics of all kinds of demons.

Little Sun didn't hide anything and told Klein everything he knew about demons.

The most noteworthy aspect is that the demons possess a bug-level ability called "malice perception," which makes them as nimble as mice, running away at the slightest disturbance and making them difficult to catch.

In addition, they possess the ability to grow to enormous sizes, powerful melee combat skills, and extraordinary physical defense and resistance.

The only drawback is that they are easily out of control and easily dominated by the desire for blood and killing.

After obtaining information about the "demon" and the "guardian," Klein removed the shield from others.

Then, he manipulated the world and laughed sinisterly:

"I recently obtained a pharmacist's prescription; does anyone need it?"

Giving Benson the pharmacist's formula to use and making money from it are not contradictory, after all, he didn't expect Benson to go very far.

When the Magician joined the Tarot Club, she mentioned the need for the pharmacist's formula, but the World Mannequin had not yet appeared at that time.

After her first request went unanswered, the Magician became virtually invisible in the Tarot Club and didn't make any further requests.

So Klein wasn't quite sure whether she still needed the pharmacist's prescription.

Upon hearing what the world said, Fors's eyes lit up.

She has only recently been promoted to a magic master, and the only thing she needs is the recipe for the next sequence.

However, she doesn't even know what the next sequence is called. After asking Arthur, he also said he wasn't too sure.

Therefore, Fors now has a rather indifferent and detached demeanor, just like a salted fish.

As for the apothecary's formula, her main intention was to buy it and resell it to Grelint to make a profit.

Therefore, Fors spoke up:

"Two hundred pounds, what do you think?"

After a slight hesitation, "World" finally nodded and agreed to the deal.

Tsk tsk, it's a full thirty pounds less than in the original story! Klein is losing a lot of money... Arthur watched this scene leisurely, silently shedding a tear for Klein in his heart.

After obtaining the pharmacist's formula, Fors wanted to ask if anyone knew any information about the next sequence of magic masters.

But then she realized that this might expose her own sequence, so she ultimately didn't speak and became that invisible person again.

However, Fors wasn't completely giving up; she knew that Arthur's dog was a magician.

Moreover, judging from Arthur's appearance, it's clear that she still wants Arthas to continue to advance, otherwise she wouldn't have let this little guy go with her to the circus to perform.

So Fors doesn't need to rush. She just needs to wait for Arthur to get the formula, and then she can buy it from him.

What she needs to do now is to save up some money while playing the magician, so that she won't be unable to pay Arthur's price later.

Although it was a little embarrassing to follow behind the dog, it was a promotion, so it wasn't shameful... Fors comforted himself in his heart.

However, what she didn't expect was that when she placed her hopes for the next generation of magicians on Arthur, Arthur instead placed his hopes for the Astrologer's Recipe on her.

Although the original work contains some information about the astrologer's recipe, it is not complete. It only mentions two meteorite crystals that are suspected to be the main ingredients, as well as the blood of the Lava octopus.

However, the recipe for Sequence 7 is no longer something that can be safely advanced to by simply consuming the main ingredients.

Without knowing the auxiliary materials, Arthur could only place his hopes on Fors, hoping that she would meet Lauborough, who had come to visit his people, as soon as possible.

After selling the pharmacist's formula, "The World" said it had no other needs and then fell silent.

At this moment, "The Sun" Derrick silently looked around and spoke:

"I want to know which seven gods you are talking about, and what their general situation is. In exchange, you can ask me one question, one that I can answer."

From the information Derrick had just received from "The World" regarding the "True Creator," he vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

In addition, he had long been curious about information about the gods in the outside world, so he simply took this opportunity to ask them all at once.

Faced with this seemingly easy question, all the members of the Tarot Club accepted it without hesitation.

Just like the knowledge taught in the general education courses in Silver City, the knowledge about the Seven Gods is common knowledge for outsiders like them.

So, of course, it's better to ask than not.

Several members of the Tarot Club took turns sharing what they knew about the Seven Gods with Little Sun, and in return, they received the information they wanted to know from him.

Because of the serial murders, Audrey became very interested in the "Devil" sequence and asked the same question as "The World".
