Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Soon after, Leah stepped onto the Kurt family's solid wood floor and arrived at the second-floor living room.

Kurt smiled and looked at her, asking:

"Lia, are you off today?"

Leah sat down on the sofa, took out her wallet, began counting the cash, and said:

"Yes, I went on a mission with the captain yesterday, and he gave me a day off... I'm here to pay the 170 pounds needed for the potion recipe."

Seeing that Leah had already counted the 170 pounds, Kurt didn't try to dissuade her anymore, but readily accepted it.

Before Kurt could speak, Leah asked:

"Kurt, are you free this afternoon?"

Kurt paused for a moment, then guessed that Leah might want to ask him out... But there were two others downstairs, and he wondered what special things Fors and the others might have to do. Also, he noticed that Leah had become much more composed; she should have revealed this matter the moment she saw him...

Sigh, I thought Leah would go back to her innocent and lively self after a while, but it seems I was overthinking it… Kurt sighed silently and smiled as he spoke:

"That depends on what these two ladies want from me."

Leah pursed her lips and asked:

Are they your friends?

After saying that, she glanced at Kurt's ring, and Kurt touched the ring and said:

"Yes, they are also extraordinary individuals. They are now my informants. You can entrust them with anything you need in the future. I'll introduce you to them later..."

"So I need to see if they have anything urgent to do before I can decide if I'm free this afternoon."

Kurt rubbed his forehead and continued:

"Recently, so much has happened around me that I haven't had much free time."

After hearing this, Lia, with her long, jet-black hair, nodded calmly and asked another question:

"Kurt, how can I quickly advance to Sequence Eight? Sequence Nine is basically useless in combat, and it's not even very helpful in terms of support. I'm even just a mediator in the Night Watch squad..."

A mediator… can quickly uncover the essence and loopholes of a matter and find a way to break the deadlock, or subtly guide one party—hmm, that's a bit like a lawyer. After a moment's thought, Kurt decided to teach Leah the art of role-playing. He hadn't done so before because he was afraid the church would restrict his freedom; he planned to subtly remind Leah so the Night Watchers wouldn't suspect him.

Now, the church won't restrict me at all... Kurt looked into Leah's bright eyes and said:

"Try to become a real 'lawyer,' or rather, try to play the role of a lawyer. Of course, this doesn't mean you have to become a lawyer, you understand?"

Lia frowned and began to think. She remembered how, after mediating a conflict between two neighbors, she had used a point of contention to expose one of the older women for lying, thus protecting the young woman's innocence... At that time, she had a strange feeling.

Leah then asked:

"Would we get timely feedback if we did that?"

Kurt smiled and said:

"Yes, it's a wonderful feeling that's hard to describe. If you can play the role strictly, you can digest it in about a month. If you know the names of the subsequent sequences, you can play them in advance, which will greatly reduce the probability of you losing control and make it safer to drink the potion and advance."

Leah nodded thoughtfully, recalling what the captain and the others had said about "mastering"... Captain Hans seemed to have hinted that I should imitate a real lawyer, but it seemed they couldn't tell me.

Regardless, Leah knew that the "acting method" was extremely rare and precious, at least many extraordinary individuals were unaware of it... The risk of it spiraling out of control would be even greater, so why didn't the church promote this method...?

She knew the church must have its reasons for doing this, and not wanting to put Kurt in a difficult position, she simply asked:

"Kurt, do you know what the name of Sequence Eight in the Lawyer's Path is? I can buy it with gold pounds..."

Kurt somewhat regretted mentioning the role-playing part beforehand… It seemed to be a side effect of the “Teacher” potion, giving him an urge to impart all his knowledge when teaching. Kurt considered for a moment and said:

"Barbarian. I also have clues about the recipe. You can come to me to buy it after you have fully digested the 'Lawyer' potion."

Since this child is so obsessed with power, let's make the channels safer. This will also prevent the possibility of Leah "turning to the dark side" because of her pursuit of power...

"barbarian……"

Leah repeated uncertainly, "How am I supposed to act like this?! And how did Kurt become so mysterious and powerful? He has potion recipes that even the Church of the Night doesn't have, and suddenly he knows so much mysterious knowledge..."

In the past, Leah would have given Kurt a hug long ago, but now Leah only feels that there is an invisible barrier between her and the people around her, making her feel alienated... She can hardly show a genuine smile to anyone other than Kurt now.

Kurt had never played the role of a barbarian before, so he couldn't offer any useful advice other than asking Walker, and thus remained silent.

"Kurt, if you don't have anything too important to do this afternoon, would you like to have lunch together?"

This is why Kurt can get along with Leah and Jack, who went to Trier. Whether before or now, Kurt has never liked Rune's conservative style, as evidenced by his desire to become a "hero".

Kurt temporarily dismissed the terrifying idea that Leah had been replaced by the evil god, and nodded with a smile:

"Please go ahead."

After that, Leah called Hugh and Fors up.

Hugh looked slightly tired and immediately thanked Kurt:

"Thank you for your efforts in rescuing me."

Kurt smiled and shook his head in response:

"Hugh, you should thank Fors. I went to them not only to rescue you, but also for my own sake. Fors was the one who truly cared for you..."

Fors waved his hand, interrupting Kurt's speech, and said:

"Kurt, don't be so mushy. I'm just not used to living alone again. After all, Hugh is usually quite hardworking."

Hugh, however, raised his head slightly and said earnestly:

"I will always remember Fors, you are my best friend."

Kurt smiled and watched them interact for a while before asking:

"What is it, you two?"

Hugh removed Fors's hand from her face and said:

"I've come to thank you in person, and also to discuss how to bring Audrey and the others into the Extraordinary Circle, when, and which gatherings they should attend."

At this point, Hugh revealed a strange expression and said:

"We didn't expect you to be so... busy."
