Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Backlund, in the luxurious mansion of the Viscount Grelint.

Kurt revealed his identity as the "Chosen One" of the Earth Mother Goddess, and then put forward a third condition: keep an eye out for any news about the Nihilistic Cult or the Truth Association. Kurt also entrusted Audrey and Viscount Grelint to help find information about "One Chicken" Auster...

"In short, you'd better report any of your extraordinary activities to me. I will follow and supervise as needed, and of course, I will also act as your bodyguard to ensure your safety. This requires you to deposit at least £100 in cash into the fund every month."

After Kurt finished stating his demands and conditions, he took out a piece of parchment he had prepared beforehand and said leisurely:

"This is a contract with a fair agreement. Once you sign your names, the transaction is complete."

Viscount Grelint, who had been very excited, suddenly became cautious and asked carefully:

"What will happen if I break this rule?"

Kurt smiled and said:

"Nothing will happen. I'm not stupid enough to harm nobles. If you violate this rule, it will notify me and let me know."

Kurt didn't say what would happen if he knew, he just smiled and looked at them.

If we break this rule, Gretel and I might disappear without a trace! Audrey thought with some fear. Of course, Mr. Kurt probably wouldn't tamper with something like this; he should know which family I come from…

Viscount Grelint clearly understood Kurt's meaning, and nervously accepted the parchment, which contained almost the same content as before, with an additional note at the end:

"Kut's identity and this deal must not be revealed, nor should the extraordinary formula be maliciously disseminated."

He could accept it; it just meant he had less to boast about. He wasn't really inclined to reveal information about a "chosen one" anyway. If extraordinary abilities existed, then gods truly existed! Besides, Kurt's abilities were really suited for assassination…

After signing his name, he handed it to Audrey.

If I knew, I might consider leaving Backlund… Kurt chuckled to himself; the parchment scroll truly only possessed the abilities he had just described.

Kurt had previously discovered that his Source Matter could create almost any type of talisman, including Notarization, but this extraordinary ability, which was close to Sequence Six, only had 20% of its power... Kurt used the properties of Source Matter to link this parchment to himself... and then used Source Matter to cover up this connection.

As Audrey signed her name, a sudden realization dawned on her: Mr. Kurt was "The Lovers," and "The Lovers" was divinely favored. He wouldn't use this to deceive them, meaning the divine was watching over "The Lovers," and therefore watching over the Tarot. "The Fool" couldn't possibly be unaware… which meant "The Fool" didn't care about the Earth Mother's gaze at all! This, to some extent, reflected that "The Fool" and the Earth Mother were on the same level—both were divine!

Even the Earth Mother couldn't detect the Tarot Club, and Audrey felt a surge of inexplicable pride. There was also the possibility that Mr. "Lover" was sent by the Earth Mother to form an "alliance"...

Just as Audrey was lost in thought, Kurt retrieved the "contract" and then smiled as he handed it to Fors, who was about to get up and leave.

"Fors, sign it too."

Fors deliberately sighed and took it, saying:

"You still don't believe me..."

Kurt smiled. Spending the past few days with Fors, he found her to be very similar to the description in the original work: quick-witted, calm, and intelligent. Of course, she was also undeniably lazy and timid. She definitely knew why he had her sign, because besides actively exposing herself, she would also be "passively" exposed; having an extra layer of insurance was always a good thing…

Audrey, however, noticed that Fors and Kurt had a good relationship and seemed to get along very well...

"Ms. Fors, Mr. Kurt, what is your relationship?"

Viscount Grelint glanced at Kurt's ruby ​​ring and casually asked a question.

Fors's slightly narrowed eyes widened instantly, and he quickly waved his hand, saying:

"We're just friends!"

Kurt touched the ring without any overreaction, and instead joked:

"I thought you were going to say we were just employees..."

……

On the way back to the West End, Kurt looked at the order he had agreed upon with Viscount Grynt and felt a headache coming on. He would have to design a pocket watch for Viscount Grynt in the following month... Of course, it seemed that Viscount Grynt had deliberately flattered him by giving him 800 pounds, when it should have only been worth about 400 pounds.

Afterwards, he would have to attend various salons and meet with Viscount Grelint and his entourage. Of course, he guessed that Viscount Grelint would use the excuse of checking on the progress to buy "miracle" potions, which would be a considerable income...

After Hugh is released, he will need to take Audrey and the others to various extraordinary parties.

But the thought of having secured £5000 in "education start-up funds" made it all worthwhile. With the £200 monthly contribution, the fund was fully established and handed over to Kuhn and Viscount Grelint for management, with Kuhn primarily serving as a supervisor.

This will not only effectively improve the quality of life for many people, but also provide them with a lot of humanistic anchors and a sense of accomplishment in accomplishing something great.

One word: Worth it.

Fors, sitting opposite, looked somewhat awkwardly out of the carriage.

Miss Salty Fish probably doesn't realize that today is the second major turning point in her life. The first was becoming an "apprentice," the second was meeting Audrey, and finally, she'll keep walking (or maybe lying down) until she reaches Sequence One, looking down on all living beings...

……

Queens, the Earl of Hall's mansion.

After Susie locked the bedroom door, Audrey patted her cheeks and sat on the bed.

Susie looked at her master with a puzzled expression and said:

"What happened to Audrey? You seem a mix of...excitement and shock."

I overlooked a potential audience member, Audrey replied somewhat helplessly, seemingly unrelated to the question:

"Susie, you're really suited to be a viewer; many people will subconsciously overlook you."

Audrey carefully crouched down and patted Susie's head. Susie comfortably stood up to make Audrey more comfortable. Susie seemed a little confused by the long explanation and barked twice.

Audrey felt a bit unreal; she had just met a member of the Tarot Club so unexpectedly, and he was even a chosen one, a very powerful one, and she had even made a deal with him…

Thinking that Mr. "Lover" could only establish an "Education Fund" in his own name because the "Church of Mother Earth" didn't have much influence in the Backlund parish, all for the children of the East District... he is truly a selfless and morally upright good person!

Audrey, as a fellow member of the Tarot Club, you should learn from Mr. "The Lovers" and become an extraordinary person not only for yourself and your family, but also to help more people in need.

Audrey pumped her fist to cheer herself up, then went to take a bath, changed into a new dress, and went to her etiquette class.

P.S.: Sorry, I was busy with that online class yesterday and today, so I didn't have much time. Yesterday I updated the sequence settings, source settings, and origin. If you want to see them, you can scroll to the beginning of the work settings. I'll resume regular updates in the next two days. Going to sleep now.
