Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

"Demigod?"

Sequence 4, known as a demigod?

The elders of the Aleister family are Sequence 4?!

No, the word "at least" means that his elders might be in a higher rank!

Realizing this, Grelint had lost control of her facial expressions.

He didn't consider An Ruowang herself to be Sequence 4.

After all, if An Ruowang is Sequence 4, is there any need to come looking for him?

As for why the other party, who is clearly from a family with a long tradition of mystical studies and is a genuine aristocratic family, is now coming to Backlund.

All he could say was, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

Faced with Grelint's subtly respectful attitude, An Ruowang did not explain the "demigod" aspect, but continued to enhance the credibility of his false identity:

"Besides apprentices, there are the Storm Church's 'Sailors,' the Night Church's 'Sleepless Ones,' the Steam Church's 'Generalists,' the Augustus family of the Loen royal family and our Tamara family's 'Arbitrators,' the Psychological Alchemy Society's 'Spectators,' the Secret Order's 'Diviners,' and the Witch Cult's 'Assassins'..."

I know all the capabilities of sequence 9 of the twenty-two sequence pathways.

I also possess a portion of the complete Sequence 9 potion recipes. As agreed, you can choose one Sequence 9 potion recipe from among them.

Considering the character's personality, An Ruowang did not say that she knew all the potion recipes—knowing too much would also be problematic.

Grylint hesitated for a moment:

"Mr. Aleister, would you mind telling me about the abilities of all Sequence 9 pathways, as well as the general characteristics after promotion?"

He took a deep breath, staring intently at Jiang Ruowang, and immediately added his condition: "I'm willing to pay ten thousand, no, twenty thousand gold pounds for this!"

At that moment, he was not just buying knowledge, but also the heritage of an ancient occult family.

It was as if, in doing so, his family had also become an extraordinary family with a long history.

£20,000, worth two Intis ambassadors, is probably a serious overpayment just for this knowledge.

But you can't calculate it that way; knowledge is indeed difficult to value.

Furthermore, this is also a reasonable and respectable way to show goodwill to An Ruowang and resolve his problem.

Grylint hadn't forgotten that Anruwang had said he'd just arrived in Backlund—and he had plenty of expenses to cover.

Just give them money?

That would be too undignified.

Although it's still about giving money, he's now paying for knowledge.

If you can use money to gain the other party's favor and establish a closer cooperative relationship with Aleister, the extraordinary person from an ancient family in his eyes, it is definitely a worthwhile deal and investment.

Many people want to switch, but there's probably no way to do it!

For Aleister, there was no reason why he had to choose Grelint.

But for Grelint, Aleister is currently the only path to becoming an Extraordinary.

If it weren't for the fact that cash flow wasn't really that abundant, Glelint would have been willing to offer an even higher price.

Without the slightest hesitation, Grelint took out his checkbook and pen, wrote down the amount of 30000 pounds, and handed it to Anjouwang.

If you're going to do it, do it cleanly and decisively.

Being hesitant and stingy not only looks bad, but also makes it difficult to gain the other person's favor.

An Ruowang took the check, glanced at it, and found that the amount on it was 10,000 more than the 20,000 that Glelint had said.

A few words were enough to make a man spend 30,000 pounds on me.

As for why there was an extra 10,000 gold pounds on it?

No one can resist unexpected gains.

Such a small trick as offering a pleasant surprise can indeed win the favor of most people.

But this is just to profit from him, like seeing a high-quality stock and increasing investment.

If you think that the other person is a good person because of this, you would be making a big mistake.

It's just a matter of each party getting what they need.

An Ruowang pocketed the 30,000 gold pound check and wrote a blank check to the other party: "If you encounter any trouble or need anything, I can help you once within my ability."

His early, stable development and basic survival needs certainly required these gold pounds, which would save him a lot of trouble.

He didn't want to be seen as a cunning villain, which was his main reason for seeking out Grynt.

I, a nobleman of the occult, am here to pay!

An Ruowang had actually considered whether to approach Audrey, the class monitor and the primary investor in the Tarot Club, but the Hall family likely employed bodyguards with superhuman abilities, making the risk too great.

In addition to the communication difficulties caused by gender differences, and the fact that the other party was not the head of the Hall family, An Ruowang, although more familiar with Audrey, still abandoned this option.

Next, in Grelint's study, after the other party swore to God that he would not resell or spread this knowledge and the subsequent potion recipes, An Ruowang explained to him most of the basic knowledge about the abilities of Sequence 9 of the 22 pathways, the traits acquired after advancement, and related mysterious organizations and secret cults.

Of course, the Twilight Hermits and the Redemption Roses are exceptions.

He also offered some of his own suggestions:

People like prisoners and criminals who torture or distort humanity, the Mystics who go mad from the sinkholes, the Assassins who can undergo sex reassignment, the Singers and Readers who are ostracized by the Storm Church, and the Warriors who are imprisoned...

None of these pathways are suitable for a nobleman who spends most of his time in Backlund.

Finally, after much deliberation between "apprentice" and "pharmacist," Grelint, just like in the original story, chose "pharmacist."

Good health, immunity to most diseases and injuries, and the ability to increase lifespan to three hundred years upon reaching Sequence 7 are all core attractions for nobles.

His father's early death, while giving him a title and money, probably also left him with some psychological trauma.

Moreover, those who follow the same path are basically enemies—Grelint vaguely knew this from what Anruwang had said earlier.

This is also one of the reasons he gave up the "apprenticeship" program. The Tamara family seemed to control the arbitrator and apprenticeship pathways, and he did not want to form such a delicate competitive relationship with the family behind them.

After confirming his choice, An Ruowang wrote down the "Pharmacist" recipe for Grelint and added some precautions for mixing potions, such as "the auxiliary ingredients can be more or less, but the main ingredients can be slightly less but absolutely not more."

Grelint took the paper with the recipe written on it as if it were a precious treasure and read it carefully, word by word.

药师魔药的配方，主材料是：成年独角飞马的角1根、皇冠水母的毒液结晶3克；辅助材料则是：成年独角飞马的血液100毫升、皇冠水母的触鬚7根、砷粉10克、黑莨菪的根茎10克。

"Oh, right."

As if remembering something, An Ruowang, sitting on the sofa, crossed her hands and looked at Grelint with ease:

"If you choose to use this favor now, I can immediately give you this path all the way up to the Sequence 5 potion recipes."
