Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

apprentice?

To be honest, the name sounded more like an academic or technical skill, reminding Audrey of an apprentice following behind a craftsman or professor, rather than the extraordinary, mysterious beings she imagined who wielded supernatural powers.

However, the name "Astrologer" for Sequence 7 does have that kind of feel to it.

Literally, does Aleister mean he can predict the future by stargazing?

Perhaps this is the secret to Grelint knowing that her family possessed the horn of an adult Pegasus, and the secret to her unparalleled success in the stock market!

The thought of this made Audrey feel excited.

The dream that sprouted when I was a child listening to my elders tell all sorts of strange and wonderful stories seems to finally have a glimmer of hope of being realized.

Just as Audrey was about to ask further about the specific abilities this method possessed, her vision suddenly blurred, and she discovered that An Ruowang, who had been sitting on the sofa in her sight, had vanished without warning!

At the same time, a familiar voice, like a ghost, echoed eerily behind her:

"This is a approach focused on 'opening doors' and 'recording'."

"what!"

Audrey was startled by the sudden sound behind her and gasped softly.

She almost instinctively took a small half-step forward, then quickly turned around. The whole process was hurried yet elegant, living up to the strict etiquette education she had received since childhood.

Then, she saw An Ruowang, who had been in front of her just a second ago.

He appeared out of nowhere behind her, standing there at a distance, arms crossed, leaning against the wall, and leisurely explained:

"Therefore, you can also call it a doorway."

Despite knowing the truth, Viscount Grelint was still filled with awe and wonder upon witnessing this near-teleportation.

Audrey touched her chest, feeling her heart pounding beneath her sheer gloves, and her emerald eyes shone with an unusual light.

Is this the capability of the apprenticeship pathway?

So mysterious, so...unbelievable!

She took a step forward, bringing the social distance between herself and An Ruowang to a normal level, her voice trembling with excitement:

"It was a bit scary, but it was truly an amazing experience! Mr. Aleister, is it possible for me to become a Gate Path Extraordinary? What price would I have to pay for it?!"

Audrey decides to take her talent and money to the doorway?

Although this changes the plot, it doesn't seem like it's entirely unacceptable.

but……

Assuming we consider the other party as a future ally, if we consider our own interests, which is more useful to An Ruowang: an Audrey who is on the same path as him, or an Audrey who is on the audience path?

The answer came quickly—none of them were that big, so he might as well become an audience member himself.

If he had to choose between the two options, Audrey as an audience member would be more useful to him.

"Feel sorry."

An Ruowang shook her head and strictly followed the role she had set for herself:

"The roles of 'apprentice' and 'arbitrator' are to me what 'sailor' is to the Church of Storms and 'sleepless' is to the Church of Night. Unless you offer me terms I cannot refuse, or establish a more trustworthy relationship with me, this is impossible."

Wow, that's so bold!

How dare they equate themselves with the Church of the Night and the Church of the Storm?

Is this somewhat blasphemous?

However, this analogy also made Audrey, who felt inexplicably agitated, quickly understand An Ruowang's reason for refusing.

Just like becoming one of those undisputed official extraordinary beings, she would lose her freedom.

Audrey was visibly disappointed.

As a noblewoman with strict upbringing, it was impossible not to yearn for this path full of freedom.

Strictly speaking, her curiosity and love for the occult also stemmed partly from this.

But now it seems that she is unlikely to become an extraordinary being.

"However, besides the core approach, I also have some other approaches that you can choose from."

An Ruowang changed the subject, glancing at Grelint who was standing there: "Just like him."

Oh right, and Grelint too!

Audrey almost laughed at her own oversight.

This was clearly his residence, but she had almost forgotten about him.

She looked at Grelint, intending to use him as a reference:

"Grelint, would you mind telling me which path you chose and what price you paid?"

Grelint shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about being ignored.

"I'm following the 'Pharmacist' path, and I'm currently collecting materials for potions."

As for the cost, it is two materials equivalent to the potion recipe.

In addition, I gave Mr. Aleister an extra 30,000 gold pounds, gained some knowledge about sequence pathways, and won his friendship.

"and you……"

Audrey paused, swallowing the rest of her sentence, "It seems he has become Mr. Aleister's subordinate," which she had originally intended to say, and for a moment she didn't know how to begin.

Gretel, however, understood what Audrey was trying to say.

He first bowed deeply to An Ruowang, then stood beside her, proudly addressing Audrey like a knight's squire:

"This is my own choice~"

He not only didn't care, but even felt a hint of pride and pity, like someone on the bank looking at someone in the river.

Mr. Aleister didn't tell you that his real surname is "Tamara".

Audrey, you have no idea what that surname means.

Tamara, Abraham, Antigonus, Jacob, and Ammon were the five great dukes of the Tudor Empire in the Fourth Age.

This is a family with a history spanning thousands of years, a true aristocratic family of mysticism!

If you wanted to become his subordinate like me, you probably wouldn't even qualify.

They were practically fighting to be An Ruowang's dog.

"Is that so..."

Audrey suddenly realized that An Ruowang was definitely not simple, and that Grelint must have something to ask of him.

However, all she wanted was to learn from An Ruowang how to become an extraordinary being.

Therefore, she can communicate with the other party on a relatively equal footing.

However, she also hoped to gain knowledge about sequence pathways.

but……

"Thirty thousand gold pounds..."

Audrey wore a somewhat complicated expression.

She never imagined that one day she would be troubled by money.

Because she had not yet undergone her coming-of-age ceremony, she did not inherit any property or dowry from Earl Hall; she only received a basic monthly allowance of two to three thousand pounds and her previous savings.

Her fixed annuity income is roughly the same, between £1.5 and £2.5.

Although it's not that I can't afford it, it's still a bit of a financial strain, a significant financial loss.
