Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

After finishing his morning classes, Kurt asked Melanie to purchase the complete skin of the Whispering Growler from the church.

Melanie, who was tidying her desk, paused for a moment upon hearing this and asked in return:

"These are Sequence 7 potion ingredients. You got the Sequence 7 recipe?"

Kurt did not hide anything and responded truthfully:

"Praise be to Mother Goddess, yes, I am very lucky."

Klein was quite bold... Kurt didn't explain specifically how he obtained the formula, but instead mysteriously mentioned the Mother Goddess. This could very well mislead Melanie, making her think that my potion formula was given to me by the Mother Goddess or that she provided guidance...

Melanie hesitated for a moment, then indeed didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she said:

"You wait here, I'll go send a telegram to the chapel. Don't expect this little chapel to have any extraordinary materials stored up."

Kut nodded in understanding, then asked:

"I plan to use my merit points to see how long it will take for the sanctuary to reply."

Melanie stood up, a hint of envy in her expression. "The church has set up a special line just for you...it should only take about ten minutes."

A dedicated line? That's so exaggerated. I hope they don't assign me some kind of "divine child" later... Kurt's lips twitched, and he nodded with a smile.

Ten minutes later, Melanie returned on time and said directly:

"The extraordinary materials will be delivered in five days. The sanctuary also needs you to submit the potion recipe, 1500 pounds of merit or cash."

"Wow, 1500 pounds. The market value of a Sequence Seven recipe is about 750 pounds... That's double my money!" Kurt, naturally having no reason to refuse, immediately said.

"Okay, by the way, can I use these merits to exchange for some sealed items?"

In the last battle, he discovered he lacked some effective offensive methods. Without Miss Sharon's help, Kurt had planned to use "Entropy Stop" followed by "Deconstruction" to dismantle the "zombie's" defenses...

Kurt also discovered that his "Eye-Catching" spell could only apply some "physical" effects and could not apply other abilities such as "purification" or "notarization." Only the time-freezing spell could bring devastating damage to fast-moving objects...

The perfect ending to that battle would have been if the zombie's heart had been "pulled out"... He should have aimed for the head instead, Kurt reflected on his mistake.

Melanie nodded and said:

"Of course, but you can only apply for some Level 3 sealed items, or some Level 2 sealed items that aren't too dangerous or important. I can have the Sanctuary give you a list. Due to the high level of secrecy, someone will probably deliver it in person. You can take advantage of this opportunity..."

Kurt, who had originally planned to consider things only after Sequence Seven, nodded upon hearing Melanie's words and said:

"Then I'll trouble you, teacher. Also, there's my friend's mother's condition..."

……

Bridge area, "Braveheart Bar".

Kurt made a point of going to the bar, ordering a beer and listening to some news from the neighborhood.

After gathering some information about the gang, Kurt finished his last beer and left the bar.

After walking down a street, Kurt specifically hailed a horse-drawn carriage to take the other party to the East District.

The horse had barely taken a step when a phantom figure appeared before him: Miss Sharon, dressed in a black court dress with a cool expression.

She just watched Kurt quietly. The small black soft hat held his pale golden hair down, which, combined with his pale face and art-like features, gave him a doll-like beauty.

The carriage had already set up a spiritual wall the moment the "vengeful spirit" entered.

"I wonder if Emlyn White would like this..." Kurt put aside his impolite thoughts, a slight smile playing on his lips, revealing a gentle aura as he spoke first:

"Don't worry, I've always had a very high opinion of the Temperance faction, and I won't report you and your associates to the church."

Sharon remained composed and silent despite Kurt's revelation that she had a companion.

Kurt seemed to have anticipated this scene and continued:

"I need some connections to extraordinary gatherings, as payment for crippling that 'zombie' you helped me with last time. I also need you to do some things for me."

After saying that, he activated a momentary "divine gift." Sharon's expression changed slightly, and she was about to resist when she found that the feeling of weakness immediately disappeared.

Kurt only used his power for a moment to dispel Sharon's doubts, fearing she would be upset. At that time, Sharon didn't have the glove, and his spell could have easily defeated her on the spot. The fact that he didn't do that already speaks volumes.

"I know your weaknesses, and I can use my abilities to help you fight against the hedonists. My feelings towards them are negative..."

Kurt had already spoken first, so Sharon simply nodded and spoke cleanly and crisply:

"What is it?"

Kurt wanted Sharon's help to take down some human trafficking hideouts, including "Capin," who was originally intended for Klein to impersonate. However, after experiencing life in the East End firsthand, Kurt wanted to eradicate this cancer before it harmed more innocent people. Klein will find other roles himself; Klein is quite clever...

Of course, putting aside these high-sounding reasons, the safe and the extraordinary properties are tempting enough... Of course, this requires advance planning and help. Coincidentally, Miss Sharon bumped into us at this time, and her abilities are perfect for helping... If all else fails, just report her.

Kurt had a feeling he could even summon the "Wastelanders" from the Church of Mother Earth to help in Backlund... Of course, the Night Watchers couldn't just ignore it either. Anyway, he'd try it himself first; if it didn't work, he'd report it. If he could get those extraordinary traits, he'd make a fortune. Even if he got caught along the way, it wouldn't matter; he'd just be a chosen one passing by, upholding justice...

"Help me take down some gang hideouts, and I'll tell you the time and location of the operation later. Of course, there will definitely be risks involved. I'll let you know the details once I've found out; you can assess the risks yourselves..."

Sharon nodded coolly and said:

"Okay, come to the Brave Ones Bar on Saturday afternoon for an extraordinary gathering."

After saying this, Sharon's figure quickly faded and finally disappeared.

She might be curious about where I got the information, she might secretly investigate me, and then find out that I just graduated from university... She'll probably guess that I'm a "chosen one".

The carriage wheels rolled towards the East District. Kurt silently plotted which gang's territory to "stir up trouble" in, while also keeping an eye out for any cults, such as the "Nihilistic Cult" and the "Truth Society."

P.S.: That's probably all for today. Finals are coming up soon... I'll add three more chapters tomorrow if I'm free, but then I'll have to study and can only guarantee at least one update a day. After the holiday and the book goes on sale, I'll update six times a day. Anyway, I apologize in advance. Please feel free to point out any problems or errors. I still need some interesting sealing artifact settings, interesting "hybridization" ideas, and I'll also reveal in advance that the painter's ability can be permanently imbued with properties under the protagonist's source essence. The protagonist will later "create extraordinary cards." If you have any ideas, please submit them. Thank you.
