Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

In the past few days, Kurt has relied on his excellent learning ability, and the fact that each word in these languages ​​has rich meanings, so the amount of learning is not large, and he focuses more on understanding.

As a result, Kurt had already mastered the basics of Ancient Hermes and learned most of Giants' language. He began to learn Ancient Fussak and Elvish, and at the same time, he also learned many rituals, such as spirit communication, some secret rituals, dualistic rituals, and delayed triggering rituals.

After the day's lessons ended, Kurt casually brought up Mrs. Sarah's illness:

"A friend of mine has a mother with a serious lung disease. I can't personally treat her, as that would arouse suspicion in my family. I don't want my family to know that I have become an extraordinary person yet."

Then Kurt showed the medical record to Melanie. It would be ideal if the medicine could be prepared directly from it. Melanie took the medical record, glanced at it, and then spoke:

"I roughly know what the illness is, and the old lady is not very old, so she can be cured. However, I don't quite believe in the current level of medical technology. Let me take a look at her in person when I have the chance. Of course, she will need to pay me a fee."

"That puts my mind at ease..." Kurt breathed a sigh of relief.

How much do you need?

Melanie flicked her blonde hair and smiled:

"Ten pounds, perhaps. If it's too cheap, the gentleman might not let his mother try it."

Kurt took the medical record back, folded it, and put it back in his pocket. After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"I'll find a time when Mrs. Sarah is recuperating at home; would it be convenient for you to come over then?"

The 10 pounds should be something that the Finks family could afford, and Finks wouldn't hesitate to give up 10 pounds; he's always been very filial.

Melanie nodded, took a copy of "The Adventures of Gustave the Explorer" by Emperor Roselle from the now-abundant bookshelf, and began to read it, saying:

"I'm available these days, you can come find me anytime. If I'm not in the church or on my balcony, I'm probably out gathering clues. It's too quiet here, there aren't many believers, which means there are no missions. That's the only advantage of Backlundby's Tosos."

Kurt also began packing up his notes and other belongings. Hearing Melanie say this, he asked curiously:

"Gathering clues? Haven't you opened a detective agency yet?"

Melanie, without putting down her book, casually replied:

"Gathering clues in advance can accumulate inspiration for future commissions. Often, when we know the content of the commission, our thinking becomes limited. At this time, we need some inspiration and inconsistencies to break the deadlock. These inspirations and inconsistencies often seem to have no connection with the commission."

"For example, the local gangs, population distribution, sewer system maps, subway timetables, and the differences in climate and culture between different areas. That's why I don't open a detective agency right now. Backlund is the capital of all cities, the most industrialized city in the world; understanding it is much more difficult than understanding a rural town..."

Listening to Melanie's explanation, Kurt realized that he had done too little work on these aspects before, and that these things were very useful, whether it was escaping, hiding, infiltrating, assassinating, and so on.

Kurt listened patiently to Melanie's lecture, then suddenly a question occurred to him, so he casually asked:

"Thank you for your guidance. The excellent teaching process has been very helpful in digesting the 'Teacher' potion."

Melanie paused for a moment, then murmured:

"Digestion? You know that method?"

Kurt feigned confusion and asked:

"Are you talking about role-playing? Don't you know that?"

A flicker of doubt crossed Melanie's face, followed by a relieved and somewhat envious tone:

"I should have known you knew this method, after all, you have the favor of the Lord. We, the Desolate Ones or Battle Sisters who have figured out the method ourselves, must swear before the sacred object that we cannot tell this method to other extraordinary beings who do not know it. I always thought you had only scratched the surface..."

Kurt showed an "I see" expression, didn't mention the Mother Goddess, which was taken as tacit agreement, and changed the subject by asking:

"May I borrow the materials you compiled? I can pay you."

With the teacher's notes already prepared, Kurt no longer wanted to go through the trouble of finding and copying various materials himself. Now that there's no AI to help him find information, it would be even better if he could get it for free or spend a little money.

Melanie smiled, put down the collection of novels, and pushed forward a notebook with an exquisite leather cover from the table, saying:

"Take it if you want, just remember to return it to me after you're done. It contains the methods and insights I used when compiling this information. Actually, this was originally going to be taught later, 'How to efficiently collect clues and information.' Since you want to learn it yourself, it'll save me the time of going through it with you in class. After you start learning combat, I'll also apply to let you go on some extraordinary missions with the Night Watchers."

Kurt took the notebook and sincerely thanked him:

"I am very fortunate to have met a teacher like you who has such profound knowledge and rich experience."

Melanie smiled and said:

"I'd much rather we became friends, like Russell said, I'm both your good teacher and your good friend. You might come back to Fenneport and work with me for a while, and of course, you'll probably become a high-ranking member of the Sanctuary, which would allow you to live a long time."

Over the past few months, Kurt has experienced firsthand the feeling described in the book, where Russell is everywhere. He has become somewhat numb, and sometimes he will "quote" Russell's "famous sayings" to cover up some unreasonable actions. Nowadays, no one really knows how many famous sayings Russell has said... In short, apart from being a little annoyed, Huang Russell Tau Gustav is a qualified and useful shield.

Kurt suppressed his curiosity about how the church viewed him, as this might put Melanie in a difficult position, since the church had been friendly to her so far.

After saying goodbye to Melanie, Kurt arrived at the somewhat dimly lit church and immediately spotted Pete praying in a corner. He had indeed come to the Harvest Church on Sunday.

Kurt also observed the others and discovered that Mrs. Saliz was also in the church. Kurt thought of Mrs. Saliz's stomach problems, so he gritted his teeth and activated his spiritual vision.

Mrs. Saliz was in a good mood and seemed to be waiting for Carter's mission to end. To Kurt's surprise, her stomach felt better... Kurt guessed it might be because of his teacher, Melanie.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Saliz was too old for these illnesses to be cured, and they couldn't withstand the effects of the medication, while Finks' mother was only 53 years old and her health had not yet completely deteriorated.

Kurt sighed softly, straightened his suit, and walked toward Pete, who was still wearing his police uniform.
