Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Thursday evening, 5 Davis Street, East End.

Kurt, Hugh, and Fors went to the school as usual to teach the children and distribute bread, while Kurt also drew pictures.

It's worth noting that Lucy still came to school, but she seemed preoccupied and absent-minded during class...

During recess, Fors enthusiastically played a word game with the children, and Hugh joined in. Kurt declined their invitation, intending to draw the scene instead.

Because Fors had worked as a caregiver in a clinic and was very good at taking care of people, and was also a novelist with a sensitive heart, she quickly drew out the children's natural instincts...

Fors seems more suited to be a teacher than I am… Kurt felt a little frustrated, but when he thought of the children’s grateful eyes, he felt that he was also very capable.

With a flick of his pencil, a sketch of Fors and Hugh playing happily among the children appeared on his paper. He planned to redraw these drawings after he was promoted to painter, perhaps as an anchor to stabilize his future.

A painter is probably someone who records or imbues meaning... Kurt is trying to summarize the rules of acting, but unfortunately he's not a painter yet, so he can't test them...

Near the end of class, he randomly picked out three sheets of paper with the students' family information written earlier, glanced at them briefly, and then told the students that he was going to make a home visit, asking the three students to stay after school.

After class, Lucy, looking a little embarrassed, found Kurt, her gray eyes welling up with tears.

After inquiring, her father wanted her to go back to high school so that her sister Fran could go to college. Lucy was very reluctant to leave, as she was leaving school in three days.

Those schools really aren't as good as where I teach... Kurt thought to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips as he softly offered words of comfort:

"Your father is now my employee, and we will have many opportunities to meet in the future. You can find me at the Harvest Church almost every day between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m."

After Kurt comforted her, Lucy said goodbye and left.

Kurt gave each of the three remaining students 5 sulphurs and told their parents to wait for him and Kuhn at home the next day. Of course, Kurt had already confirmed that their parents were only doing odd jobs, so one day's absence wouldn't have a significant impact, and 5 sulphurs was a huge sum of money in their eyes…

On Thursday night, the crimson moon hung quietly in the darkness, illuminating the gradually falling silent "City of a Thousand Capitals," Backlund.

Kurt thought that Mr. Fool might answer his prayers today (to disturb his sleep), so he simply started staying up late to read. Sure enough, soon after, layers of gray mist appeared in his eyes, and he saw a distorted and blurry figure standing in the deepest part.

His eyes shimmered with a deep red, and his voice echoed endlessly in the empty world:

"I see……"

"I see……"

Kurt curled the corners of his mouth, put down "The Art History of the Kingdom of Loen" which was praising Emperor Rosell's outstanding contributions to art, quickly washed up, and fell asleep, no longer worried about being woken up.

Meanwhile, above the gray fog, Klein looked at the still unfathomable vortex within Kurt's blurry figure, pondering whether Kurt was related to that "Taiyi"... He also discovered that he could no longer rely on the gray fog to remotely influence reality.

Backlund, the capital of the Kingdom of Ruen.

The next day, Kurt finished his studies and took Saturday off, saying he was going to attend some extraordinary parties. Fortunately, Melanie didn't suggest going with him; she seemed to still be exploring Backlund.

He then began home visits with Kuhn. This time, he didn't take a break. For families with members who were unable to work due to illness, Kuhn would provide free medical assistance. For families without a fixed income, Kuhn would provide interest-free loans until the family found stable employment, with a time limit of three years.

For families with disabled members, Kurt will help contact the Backlund Disability Committee for assistance; for…

During his home visit, Kurt explained his ideas to Kuhn, who sported a clean-shaven mustache. Kuhn demonstrated his professionalism by diligently helping Kurt analyze the feasibility of these plans, the specific disbursement amounts, and the necessary legal support. It was learned that Kuhn was a graduate of the Economics Department of the University of Tingen.

This is what it means to specialize in something... Kurt thought to himself as he looked at the clear-headed and highly capable Kuhn, and realized that 3 pounds and 10 sols seemed too little.

During this process, Kurt carefully observed the students' families, asked questions about their lives and mental health, and fulfilled his duties as a teacher.

The potion was indeed being digested, and Kurt estimated that his "Teacher" potion would be fully digested in a week or two.

Judging by the timeline, it took him a little over a month to digest Sequence 8, "Teacher".

Compared to the watchmaker who had spent two months digesting the material, Kurt remarked, "The rules of being a 'teacher' are easy to summarize, and it's not difficult to play the role."

Classes were held as usual in the evening. Since he would be helping Fors block out the full moon murmurs later, Kurt announced the decision to rest on Fridays. After thinking it over, he simply changed it to resting every Friday.

They then randomly selected three more people and discovered that the parents of one of the girls both worked in a factory, but fortunately they worked the night shift, which wouldn't affect subsequent home visits.

After the church class on Friday, Kurt took Kuhn on a home visit in the afternoon. At 6 p.m., Kurt, Hugh, and Fors dealt with Bill at home first.

On the way to River Bend Avenue in the South of the Bridge, Fors changed into a blue sweater and white trousers today, saying that the houses there were a bit cold. Hugh also put on a leather jacket, while Kurt wore the same double-breasted long dress as before, but with a thin cotton coat underneath.

He's rather sensitive to the cold... Just as Kurt was pondering whether to chat with the two ladies opposite him, a somewhat nervous Fors took the initiative to start a conversation, asking curiously:

"What is your relationship with Bill? Why do you meet with him every day? Of course, if this offends you, then I'm sorry, you can refuse to answer."

Kurt paused, his face slightly flushed. Although it was a stupid thing his predecessor had done, in other people's eyes, that's what he had done...

Kurt coughed and said:

"Ahem, we can talk about this when the full moon is blocked, to pass the time."

Kurt didn't hide his embarrassment. He knew that the two ladies in front of him would eventually become angels and live for a long time. Kurt also wanted to make his own friends in this world. He didn't want to suffer the loneliness that Klein had. So he didn't hide his true emotions and personality from Hugh and Fors.

Thinking of this, he thought of Lori, who was still an ordinary person, and wondered whether he should let Lori become an Extraordinary through the "Pharmacist" pathway. If she only advanced to Sequence Seven, the risk shouldn't be too great, and she could live longer...

While pondering, Hugh, who had been somewhat silent, finally spoke up, asking in a slightly childish voice:

"What if your abilities can't help Fors... Ugh, Fors, what are you doing?"

Hugh was interrupted halfway through his sentence by Fors covering his mouth, and Fors said somewhat angrily:

"Hugh, according to Emperor Roselle, you have a knack for jinxing things. And your jinxing is always very accurate..."

Hugh reluctantly pried open Fors's well-proportioned hand, conveying with his eyes that this was a normal problem.

Actually, Fors also had this problem... She was terrified of turning into a monster.

There are other ways. Actually, I can pray to the Mother Goddess to protect you, or my Source Essence, and of course, Mr. Fool… Kurt shook his head and said:

"I also have other methods, but of course, they involve considerable risks."

Fors's expression fell, and he said weakly:

"Mr. Kurt, why don't you have any confidence either?"

Kurt looked at Fors's slumped back and offered a comforting smile:

"Of course, as long as it is indeed the effect of the full moon, I can at least mitigate its impact."

"I hope so, that feeling is awful, really, many times I've even thought about shooting myself in the head." Forl thought of taking out a cigarette, but remembering Kurt was still there, he put it down and continued:

"Of course, this is just an example; I did not possess a gun illegally."

Upon hearing that his best friend had suicidal thoughts, Xiu showed a hint of reproach and said:

"You should have told me sooner, so we could have faced and solved the problem together."
