Mystery: A Spark

After becoming a Night Watcher, Klein also learned about some extraordinary methods through the intelligence channels of the Church of the Night and the Tarot Society.

Of course, some of the information also came from Mr. Azik.

These extraordinary pathways include the three interchangeable pathways of the Black Death Battle, and the extraordinary pathways of the Audience, Apprentice, and Sun, which are learned through the Gray Fog and Tarot.

Klein already had a preliminary idea in mind regarding Melissa's extraordinary choice of path.

Because of his sister's interest in mechanical manufacturing, he planned to guide her towards becoming a generalist.

Klein didn't expect Melissa to be promoted to a high rank; he just hoped she could live a peaceful life.

As for Benson, Klein felt that none of the methods he knew seemed quite suitable.

So he wanted to see what good ideas Arthur had.

"As for Benson, I've had some contact with him, and I think he's quite eloquent. If we want him to make the most of his talents, we could take him through the legal process."

"Also, if we want him to live a healthy and peaceful life, then the pharmacist route is also a good option." Arthur stroked his chin and thought for a moment before giving his opinion.

If he chooses to become a lawyer, Benson will need to enter the political and legal system of the Kingdom of Rune and become a lawyer who defends others.

However, this would lead to various contradictions and conflicts.

After all, how can a lawyer not be hated?

No matter how well you reason things out, if others won't listen and insist on taking a hard line, there's nothing you can do.

Just like the meaning of Sequence Eight Barbarian in this path, when reasoning doesn't work, then you need to talk about physics.

Therefore, choosing to become a lawyer is relatively risky.

The pharmacist is different; this sequence allows them to stay at home and prepare medicines, making them less likely to get into trouble.

Of course, if the prepared medicine is not effective, customers will inevitably come to complain.

However, potions prepared using extraordinary abilities are actually unlikely to cause problems.

Furthermore, if Klein wanted to find the apothecary's recipe, Arthur could pass on the commission from Bishop Utravsky to him.

Furthermore, if Benson becomes a pharmacist, then Klein will have a full-time nanny.

Oh no, it should be called "nanny dad".

So although this choice is somewhat conservative, it has many advantages.

“Lawyers and pharmacists…” Klein paused for a moment, then fell into a dilemma.

Although he didn't know much about these two pathways, he could guess their approximate capabilities just by looking at the names of the two starting sequences.

Judging from Klein's memories before his time travel and his own personal experience, Benson's eloquence is quite good.

Furthermore, Klein had previously hinted to Benson that he should study grammar properly, which would indeed make him a good candidate for a lawyer.

Pharmacists are equally dedicated, after all, good health is more important than anything else.

Therefore, Klein is now in a dilemma and is suffering from decision paralysis.

After thinking for a long time, Klein still couldn't make a decision. He said:

"Thank you for your suggestion, Arthur. I plan to have Melissa take the generalist route. As for Benson, I haven't decided yet."

"Well, you can decide for yourself." Arthur didn't intend to interfere with Klein's choice, after all, it was his own business.

"Then, Arthur, do you have any clues about these Sequence Nine recipes? I'm willing to pay for them," Klein said tentatively after thinking for a moment.

He wanted to see how difficult it was to obtain the lawyer's and pharmacist's formulas, and then choose a sequence that was easier to get for Benson.

The path of the knowledgeable is undoubtedly in the hands of the Church of Steam and Machines, but now that Klein has been resurrected, his identity cannot be revealed.

Moreover, his only contact with the Steam Church was when Leonard ordered people to bombard Mrs. Sharon's villa.

This superficial relationship was certainly not enough to make those three members of the Mechanical Heart keep Klein's secret.

As for the lawyer and pharmacist pathways, Klein had basically no prior information on them, so he naturally didn't know much about them.

So Klein had no choice but to try asking the fellow countryman in front of him for help, to see if he had any clues.

“I doubt I can get my hands on the lawyer’s formula, but I might have some clues about the generalist’s formula. However, I don’t recommend collecting it yourself,” Arthur said after a moment’s thought.

He didn't plan to take the Black Emperor card because it was useless to him, and Arthur couldn't play the blasphemous card as skillfully as Cthulhu.

"Why not recommend collecting the generalist recipes yourself?" Klein asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Because Benson told me that Melissa is going to go to university, and I heard that Backlund Technical College will be reorganized into a university, and the tuition will be much cheaper than other universities.” Arthur told Klein the same information he had told Benson before.

“Backlund Technical College?” Klein was taken aback for a moment, then fell into thought.

Soon, he seemed to have thought of something and asked:

"You mean, after the reorganization of Backlund Technical Academy, there might be members of the Steam Church inside? Melissa would have a chance to obtain potion recipes and become an Extraordinary?"

“Of course, how could a university that focuses on engineering knowledge not have the background of the Steam Church?” Arthur chuckled.

“Indeed.” Klein also quickly thought of this when he first heard the news.

Then he asked:

"Then, what about the pharmacist's prescription?"

"As for the apothecary's recipe, I know where I can get it." Arthur thought to himself, "You've finally asked me about it."

"What kind of reward do you want?" Klein asked.

He didn't try to get something for free just because Arthur was from the same hometown as him; after all, even brothers should keep things clear.

Besides, if you really think about it, Klein felt he already owed Arthur a lot of favors, so he was naturally embarrassed to take his information for nothing.

"Hey, to be honest, a friend of mine is in some trouble and wants to ask for help. The pharmacist's prescription is the reward for helping, but his favor is a bit tricky and I can't handle it."

“So you don’t really need to give any reward. Getting this done is your reward.” Arthur picked up his glass, clinked it with Klein’s, and said with a smile.

"I see... Can I hear what kind of trouble it is?" Klein asked, taking a sip of red wine.

In Klein's view, Arthur was clearly stronger than himself.

Because he was able to get entangled with Ince Zangwell and even save Leonard's life from being under his control.

Klein didn't think he could do that.

Therefore, Klein wasn't confident he could handle the trouble that Arthur couldn't.

Seeing that Klein lacked confidence, Arthur told him about Bishop Utravsky's situation.

Of course, he also emphasized that the opponent was a Sequence 6 Dawn Knight, whose combat power was extraordinary and not easy to deal with.

"If we're talking about combat strength alone, I'm not actually afraid of the bishop's negative personality."

“But if we were to fight in a dream, that would be a disadvantage for me, so I didn’t accept the request,” Arthur explained after introducing the situation.

So, it seems I do have a chance to complete this task, since Arthur is affected by dreams, but I can remain conscious in my dreams... After listening to Arthur's explanation, Klein began to think silently.

However, even if I can remain unaffected by dreams, my combat strength is still a problem. A Sequence Six Dawn Knight sounds formidable... Perhaps, once I advance to Sequence Seven, I'll have a better chance... Hmm, I need to play the role well, collect the Sequence Seven recipe, and then advance as soon as possible... Klein swirled the cup in his hand, gradually making up his mind.

Arthur looked at Klein with a smile in his eyes. He knew that Klein had made a decision and set himself a small, short-term goal.

In the process of Klein achieving this small goal, he will likely encounter many things and meet many people in Backlund.

And K's sense of responsibility will give him enough motivation because of these things and these people.

Sufficient motivation to continue advancing.

However, unlike in the original story, Klein's motivation for advancement this time is no longer primarily revenge.

He would do this to protect his family and ensure their safety.

They would do their part to seek justice for the poor and give voice to the silent and powerless.

As for revenge, it will only be a side effect.

Moreover, Klein is accompanied by his family when he does these things.

Arthur felt good about all of this.

Kelvin will be promoted for the sake of protection, not for hatred.

The companionship of family will deepen Krishnamurti's humanity and ultimately become Mr. Fool's anchor.

A mysterious lord devoid of humanity is neither in Arthur's interest nor in his expectations.

Even if, in theory, the consciousness of the Celestial Venerable would never perish, Arthur would still try every means to bring that old bastard down.

For Arthur,

If Klein remains in a deep sleep as in the original story, and begins to merge with the consciousness of the Celestial, then...

That means he failed.

After finishing their business, Arthur began chatting with Klein.

As they talked, the topic of time travel came up.

At that moment, Arthur suddenly thought of an interesting question.

He looked at Klein with amusement and asked:

"By the way, Klein, I wanted to ask you something. When you traveled through time..."

Have you cleared your browsing history on your phone and computer?

Suddenly, the room fell into a deathly silence.

......

Klein left, his face filled with despair.

Arthur watched with a smile as Cthulhu left, then closed the door.

Turning around, I caught a glimpse of a fluffy little creature sleeping on the sofa.

Arthur intended to get Arthas a blanket, but suddenly realized something was amiss.

He walked over, picked up the puppy, and immediately burst out laughing.

“Hahahaha…”

Arthas was awakened by the laughter, and was still groggy, unaware of what had happened.

Laughing wildly, Arthur carried the puppy to the mirror in the second-floor bedroom.
