Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Above the gray fog, after much internal struggle, Kurt decided to propose purchasing the Sequence Seven "Painter" potion recipe. He realized that no matter what, he wouldn't lose out; he now controlled the Tarot Society's vital "money-printing" power, and could have as much of this stuff as he wanted, without suffering any loss himself.

If Klein really did foolishly divine his own source essence and gained some knowledge, then Kurt might obtain the Sequence Seven formula ahead of time, thus preparing to find another main material in advance, accelerating his advancement, and also helping Klein build an image to prevent his persona from collapsing, at the cost of only a few pages of fabricated diaries.

If Klein doesn't know the potion recipe, I can save it for later, and then ask him about it later by adding some advanced knowledge to his diary. Once Klein develops to Sequence Six or Sequence Five, I can use these resources to exchange for the help of Klein's "Favored One"...

As for Audrey and Alger, they probably won't be able to find the corresponding potion recipes. After all, Melanie mentioned that she or the church had always wanted to obtain the recipes through this method but hadn't had the chance, so they must be quite rare. Now that the Gray Mist communication system is established, Kurt can easily inform the other members that he's found the potion recipes within two days of the event, which wouldn't be a loss, and he can also exchange them using his diary credits…

Hmm, it seems I can use Emperor Roselle's diary to fleece the other members. I wonder what Klein's expression will be when he finds out he's doing this... It'll be quite a sight... Unless he uses his Joker abilities to control every pixel of his face.

At this moment, Klein, the "Fool," who was sitting at the head of the ancient, mottled bronze table, was unaware that Mr. "The Lover" was thinking about how to manipulate the "economy" of the Tarot Club. Instead, he began to flip through the diary without any emotional fluctuation.

Miss Justice, who had been a 'spectator' for almost a month, habitually began observing Mr. Fool, only to find herself surrounded by thick gray fog, unable to make out Mr. Fool's features. However, realizing what she was doing, she hurriedly turned her head back, shifting her gaze to the ever-expanding, crimson stardust, and began to admire it with a touch of awkwardness, almost humming a cheerful little tune…

"Audrey, you were so reckless, so bold, so foolish just now, daring to spy on a being close to a god... Luckily, Mr. Fool doesn't seem to care much about these things." Audrey resisted the urge to stick out her tongue, partly out of good manners, and partly because she saw Mr. Kurt staring in their direction. "His lips are slightly upturned. Ah, he seems pleased that Mr. 'Lover' saw him looking so embarrassed, but thankfully it's not mockery, more like the helpless look of someone watching a child make a mistake?"

Audrey unconsciously pouted, and finally, like the "Hanged Man" opposite her, she obediently looked down at the intricate patterns on the bronze table, quietly waiting for Mr. Fool to finish reading.

Kurt withdrew his somewhat vacant gaze from his contemplative state, put away the pleasure he derived from controlling "currency," and seeing "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" both bowing their heads slightly, he simply lowered his head as well, beginning to observe the table.

"This bronze table is truly a bronze table!" Kurt commented sincerely. As for Klein, he somewhat disappointedly took away the three diaries Kurt handed him, all of which were accounts of his romantic affairs. The only useful thing was that they gave him a deeper understanding of Index—that the place was a little bit open.

The Emperor was so depraved in his early years… Clay couldn’t help but sigh and looked at Audrey’s page.

1. Russell questions why the "Blasphemy Slab," which possesses divine power, is called the "Blasphemy Slab." Who created the "Blasphemy Slab"?

Second, the Steam Church has the fewest sealed artifacts and is the weakest among all the orthodox churches;

3. Zarathustra is the leader of the secret organization The Secret Order, and his initial sequence is "Diviner";

Fourth, Zarathustra stated that Rosell's choice of the "Generalist" was destined to be a path that was safe in the early stages but difficult in the later stages, and that the Sequence Path held many secrets;

5. Zarathustra wanted to obtain a sealed artifact related to the Antigonus family from the Steam Church;

VI. Using the role-playing method, the potion can be digested in the low sequence within 1 to 6 months, and the feeling of successful digestion is very obvious.

This concludes the useful information that this page of Russell's diary provided to Klein. There's one more thing:

"I'll beat up any fortune teller I see."

Klein expressed his shock at the discovery that Zarathustra was the leader of the Secret Order. After offering words of comfort to the Emperor and confirming that Kurt's description of the potion digestion time matched his previous statement, he gently placed the diary on the bronze table. He then casually glanced at his "lover," Kurt, who had stopped observing the bronze table after hearing the commotion.

He spoke softly:

"Make your request, Mr. 'Lover'."

Klein paused for a moment, then tapped the edge of the bronze table with his index finger and added:

"We need to be clear about one thing first: I am neither omniscient nor omnipotent."

He stopped short of saying too much, as it would affect his image. As he expected, no one showed any surprise or astonishment, which was to be expected.

Kurt rose slightly and bowed, saying:

"I need the potion recipe for Sequence Seven 'The Painter,' and if possible, I'd also like to know some secrets about this path."

The next sentence is that Kurt didn't want six Roselle's Diaries to be worth only one Sequence 7 recipe. If the "currency" was too cheap, it wouldn't be good for the trading platform Klein, nor for himself who was printing money. As for why this was the problem, he remembered that in the original work, Klein obtained information such as "Pure White Angel" when he glanced at the Eternal Sun. He believed in Klein's talent for charlatanry, so that he could increase the value of Roselle's Diaries.

Klein, sitting at the head of the table, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't speak, but instead gently lifted a finger, and a parchment containing the potion recipe of Sequence Seven "The Painter" appeared on the table in front of Kurt.

"Wow, Klein, you really divined a string of hidden names and even gained knowledge..." Kurt, though he had anticipated this might happen, still felt a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. You see, when Klein divined the Eternal Sun, he had no idea it was a drop of divine blood...

However, judging from this, my source essence shouldn't be very strong. After all, when Klein was divining the Imaginary Dragon Angorweid, he only saw a shadow and "exploded," without even getting the recipe... This reduces the pressure on Kurt a bit.

Then the Fool's deep voice rang out again, and he simply uttered a single word in Hermes:

"Taiyi."

Kurt was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that this was the name of the ancient times corresponding to the infinite collapse: the ancient times: Taiyi.
