Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Klein's first gathering had three people, and the timing remained largely unchanged. Kurt speculated that this was due to the influence of his own source matter 'Infinite Collapse' or the uniqueness of 'The Eye of Möbius'.

Preserving spirituality forever and accelerating its recovery are among the functions of 'Infinite Collapse', and the 'Eye of Möbius' can store spirituality infinitely, so its spiritual capacity is infinite.

The combination of the two allows Kut to possess a spirituality that is constantly replenished at high speed, infinitely stored, and never dissipates.

Audrey obtained the audience formula at the first Tarot gathering, which so far doesn't seem to have much impact. Although it might prevent Susie from becoming an extraordinary dog, with my guidance, Audrey shouldn't be able to refuse having an extraordinary pet. Of course, Audrey might not let Susie take risks, so we can find a Sequence 8 Beastmaster with the "Moon" pathway to assist her. The trust I showed should have won Miss Justice's favor.

Alger not obtaining the Ghost Shark Blood shouldn't have a significant impact, as he's clearly not in a hurry; it shouldn't be too scarce at sea. Alger probably wanted to gauge the Fool's reaction to my deal with Audrey. I wonder what he thinks of me now.

Klein knew the audience's and the pharmacist's formula in advance, but he was just an ordinary person now, about to join the Night Watchers, and with the influence of the Source Castle, he would definitely take the path of the diviner, so the impact was not significant.

The main storyline shouldn't change because of my intervention; I still need to work harder.

From the third Tarot gathering onwards, I could use the fabricated story of Emperor Roselle to warn Klein to be wary of 0-08 and the Hidden Sage. However, 0-08 is too powerful, and it's unlikely that Klein's death can be avoided. But every little bit helps.

Playing the role of a "teacher" is also quite troublesome. Although it would be easy for him to become a formal teacher with his abilities, he is not free to go to public schools, and he cannot attend Sunday classes at the three major orthodox churches, as that might expose his extraordinary powers.

In the current era, the official Church of Extraordinary is still very hostile to uninhabited Extraordinary, because wild Extraordinary can go out of control and become monsters at any time, causing great harm to society and being an unstable factor.

Fortunately, the authorities did not exterminate the wild extraordinary individuals.

He might be able to take on a few apprentices. Since his father passed away, due to the original owner's idleness and his sister Lori's failure to inherit the watchmaking industry, all the previous apprentices and employees have resigned.

Currently, the household employs only one receptionist, one general maid, one laundry maid, one cook, and one gardener. The additional cost is £4.10 sulphurs per week.

Although the watch shop no longer offers its previous bespoke service to the nobility, thanks to Kurt's cheap father's inventory and Kurt's recent earnings, it still manages to earn an average of about £7 per week. His sister, Lori, a senior surgeon, earns approximately £11 per week. Add to that their at least £7000 fortune, and the Kurt family lives a very comfortable life—provided, of course, they don't dabble in the extraordinary realm.

Although he could acquire money and extraordinary items by selling knowledge or recipes, there are always unexpected events, and only enough gold pounds could put his mind at ease.

So, relying on his memories from his previous life and the enhancements brought by the magic potion, Kurt is researching high-end luxury watch brands and will try to find a buyer through Miss Audrey.

Custom-made watches can even fetch up to two thousand pounds! And Kurt is confident in that.

After finishing her duties at the ball, Audrey couldn't wait to find the materials needed for the "audience" in the family treasury. To her delight, the materials needed for the "lover" were also there.

Just in case, Audrey prepared an extra set of materials for the "audience," and then secretly moved all the materials to her own bedroom. She had originally intended to prepare two sets for her "lover," but then she thought that she hadn't done anything to wrong him, so she gave up on the idea. This would make her "lover" think she was a frivolous person.

However, I need to write a letter of advice to Mr. Lover, so that he will not easily reveal his identity again... Audrey hummed a little tune as she thought about Mr. Lover's reward and set up the necessary instruments and materials.

Because she was very interested in the occult, her bedroom was fully equipped.

Following Mr. Lover's instructions, she carefully prepared the "Audience" potion. Looking at the prepared potion, Audrey felt both excited and a little timid.

Knock, knock, knock—a knock sounded at the door. Audrey quickly hid the potion in the bathroom. As she went to open the door, a large golden dog quietly opened the bathroom door handle…

6 Month 28 Day Afternoon

36 "Aivalan Street".

Kurt burned the paper he used to jot down his thoughts, his goal becoming clearer: to reach at least demigod status before the "end of the world," possessing the ability to protect Lori and himself.

Of course, it would be even better if one could become an "angel" or even a "true god".

Although he can obtain the recipe by praying to the source, the prerequisite is that the previous potion is completely digested; otherwise, he can only obtain the name of the next sequence, and perhaps some incomplete potion ingredients.

Kurt has not yet been promoted to Sequence 8 "Teacher" and does not yet know the name of the Sequence 7 potion.

...She doesn't seem to have much combat ability. Even at Sequence 8, she can't beat Lori, can she? Kurt thought of his sister's title of "Fighting Master" and shook his head with a wry smile.

After eating the stewed mutton and potatoes made by the hired cook, Miss Mela, and the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that Kurt taught her to make, along with rice from the Southern Continent, Kurt put on his formal attire and took his solid mahogany cane, worth 10 pounds and inlaid with sapphires and gold.

He took with him the powerful golden talisman he had created through the 'Infinite Collapse' technique and prepared to head to the underground extraordinary trading market on Glister Street, at the intersection of the Wood District and the Backlund Bridge District.

It was something that seemed to have the support of the Church of the Lord of Storms behind it. It basically only contained some spiritual materials. It was recommended to him by a good friend of Kurt who was interested in mysticism, which indirectly led to the death of the original owner.

After feeling his bulging wallet, Kurt locked the door leading to the second floor.

Upon arriving at the reception desk on the first floor, I saw Mr. Finks Thiel, a somewhat frail-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, reading today's newspaper at the front desk. The exquisite display cases held all sorts of wristwatches, pocket watches, and so on, and there were many standard wall clocks on the walls. More clocks were in the workshop behind.

We should hire some bodyguards... After saying goodbye to Finks, Kurt hailed a horse-drawn carriage and headed towards his destination.
