Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 146 Commission and New Intelligence

In the spirit world, Sorin looked at Renette, who was carrying four heads, and said, "The method you taught me really worked. I've already gotten two gold coins."

Renette replied without surprise, "Pay—" "Rent—" "One week" "Two gold coins."

Sorin was taken aback and said sadly, "What? So you just want me to give you money—I thought Sister Renette was taking me in out of kindness."

Rene, her four heads unchanged, said: "One." "Code." "Return." "One code."

Then, all the money Thorin had just earned was taken by Renette Tinicol.

Kurt, Audrey, and the others met again in the study.

Audrey glanced at Kurt, whose expression was normal, and said with a smile, "I have a task for you. You just need to help me find a clue about someone."

Fors asked with some curiosity, "Who?"

Audrey said, "Hurricane Admiral Ziringus, one of the Seven Great Pirate Generals."

Under the astonished gazes of Hugh and Fors, and with Kurt feigning a furrowed brow, Audrey gave a brief account of the situation and then handed over a portrait.

"In short, you only need to find a clue to receive a reward of at least two hundred pounds."

They were eventually convinced by the figure of two hundred pounds. Of course, Audrey gave Kurt much more than that in private. Including the money provided to the education fund, Kurt received a total of two thousand pounds, of which Kurt would also receive one thousand pounds.

Moreover, this was something that could be obtained without any conditions—essentially Audrey's "sponsorship" of his chivalrous acts.

Of course, Hugh and Fors were unaware of these things. They were still struggling to gather the materials or formula for Sequence 8.

By the time Grelint, who had been cursed with diarrhea by Kurt, returned from the Allied Baptiste, the important part was already over.

Viscount Grelint also brought good news: he had found the latest clues about "One Chicken" Auster, who belonged to the Nihilistic Cult.

They found an old butler who had always been loyal to Auster and obtained his address. Because she had learned about various extraordinary methods from Kurt, Grelint did not do anything extra, but simply found out the old butler's address and beliefs.

The folder containing this information ended up in Kurt's hands. When asked what kind of reward he wanted, Viscount Grelint said, "I want some cool attack methods! Of course, the information I have this time may not be enough, but I will do my best to help you with anything I can. Of course, if you need more money, that would be even better."

Uh—what kind of attack methods would a nobleman need? Considering he's probably the type who loves to show off, Kurt's lips curled slightly. He pulled out a card, "enchanted" it with the magician's fire manipulation and air bullets, further diluting the already weakened extraordinary properties before tossing it to Viscount Grelint, who was overjoyed, saying, "Your current abilities can't handle such powerful abilities. After infusing this card with your spirituality, you can ignite an area within a 20m radius."

Any flammable material within or fire an air bullet capable of shattering a glass.

"Yes, you only need to pay an additional 300 pounds to get it, and it will last for another year."

This extraordinary item truly deserves to be considered Sequence Nine level, and it has virtually no side effects—hiss, once I reach a higher sequence, I can probably mass-produce extraordinary items. It only requires consuming a small amount of my spiritual energy, and with the added benefit of the Eye of Möbius's properties, these items can be almost self-sufficient.

Ordinary extraordinary individuals using the same path need to constantly expend spiritual energy to maintain the finishing touch effect of these items, and ultimately there is a limit to their output.

What? You mean you'd just have them describe the unique nature of the tomb? Aside from those above the level of angels who are extraordinary through the same path, they probably can't do it; they'll either fail or lose control entirely.

Uniqueness is generally much stronger than ordinary Sequence One, and Kurt's uniqueness was clearly tampered with by his previous self.

Otherwise, the side effects wouldn't just be something like being in a state where you can't truly die, but once you die, you'll suffer countless cycles of death as punishment, never to be reborn.

Of course, this side effect can also completely fix one's spirit to Uniqueness. As long as one is not completely dead, there is a chance of resurrection. However, endless torment will probably drive Kurt insane. If the spirit of another person is attached to Uniqueness, it will be even more terrifying. He might become the next Medici.

So don't do anything reckless, and don't take any chances.

By the way, with Audrey's help, Viscount Grelint has become a Sequence Nine apothecary. Kurt and Audrey agreed not to reveal the complete role-playing method directly.

It's just that becoming a real pharmacist will reduce the chances of losing control and turning into a monster.

Back to the present, just as Kurt had predicted, Viscount Grelint eagerly took out his money.

He then put it to the test on the spot, demonstrating his beneficiary version of the ability to manipulate flames and air blasts, to the envious gazes of Audrey and the others. He was able to light up the scratch paper on the table from a distance and even break a glass.

Looking at the lights on Audrey and the other two ladies, Viscount Grelint exclaimed excitedly, "This is so cool! It's both cool and practical! I can use it to light my fireplace in the winter!"

Seeing this, Kurt estimated that he could sell it to him for another 300 pounds without any problem. However, once the man attended more extraordinary gatherings, he would naturally understand the price of goods. Kurt understood the principle of not exhausting resources.

Audrey really wanted a card like that too, after all, it was so cool! And it was so cheap. Just as she was about to ask, Kurt gave her a look. Audrey was just starting to wonder what that look meant – a kind of "curious" curiosity.

Kurt conveyed his message to Audrey in the form of knowledge: "You can enjoy private, customized services without having to say it now."

Upon learning this, Audrey changed the subject, saying, "I also really like this extraordinary tool, and I will do my best to complete the task you entrusted to me."

Adding a quest as a prerequisite to items that can be purchased directly—Kut nodded in satisfaction.

As for Hugh and Fors, they both "owe" Kurt a sum of money, so naturally they had no intention of buying anything; £300 was already considered very expensive.

On the carriage back to the watch shop, Kurt closed the carriage and discussed the issue of Hurricane General Zillingus with Hugh and Fors.

Kurt has unknowingly become their pillar of support, so their first reaction is to ask Kurt for advice.
