Chapter 26: Mystic Genius Lv2
Li En did not act rashly; he first copied the label of the occult professor next to him.
[Mystical genius has reached Lv2]
[Occult Genius Lv2]
[Effect 1: Gain more knowledge of occultism and increase your ability to learn occult content by 150%]
[Effect 2: When identifying items related to mysticism, you will receive vague clues.]
After the Mysticism Genius label was upgraded to Lv2, its initial effect was improved, and it also gained new effects.
This is exactly the same as when the "Born Investigator" label was upgraded before.
Having confirmed this, Lee Eun-tsai began searching for the mysterious force that had influenced him.
During the process of copying the labels, Li En kept a close eye on the direction from which the previous power had come.
People in the salon move around very infrequently. Even among the high-ranking officials and dignitaries, they form their own small circles. Unless it is a necessary political or business social event, people tend to stay in their own small circles.
Li En opened his investigator's vision, and the spiritual stars drifted in the air, like an abandoned room that hadn't been cleaned in a long time, with dust rising everywhere.
Guided by spirituality, Li En soon discovered that the spirituality in one direction of the salon's living room far exceeded that in other areas.
Taking a wine glass from the servant's tray, Li En pretended to take a stroll and walked into the area.
This is a social circle of wealthy women. Their attire exudes elegance and luxury, and the hems of their skirts bloom like flowerbeds. To the uninitiated, it might look like they have a giant tumor growing on their lower bodies.
Li En's gaze followed the surge of spirituality and he saw a noblewoman wearing a necklace around her neck.
At the center of the necklace hangs a finely polished opal, also known as a sapphire.
This stone displays different colors on its surface depending on the viewing angle or the angle of light, and it was highly praised among noblewomen.
However, in Li En's view, this thing contained a large amount of spiritual energy.
Perhaps unintentionally, the noblewoman triggered some kind of ability of the necklace, which then affected her.
"It's really inappropriate to leave this thing with an unsuspecting lady," Li En thought to himself. "It's better to leave it with me for safekeeping."
As he spoke, Li En stepped forward, wanting to exchange a few words with the noblewoman.
At this moment, a young man, who also bore the label of "genius of occultism," stepped forward and blocked the path between Li En and the noblewoman.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"
The young man was well-dressed, wearing an evening gown even more expensive than Li En's, but his hands were covered in rough calluses, and there were many black marks under his fingernails that could not be washed off, which was completely different from his glamorous appearance.
Seemingly noticing Li En and the young man's behavior, the noblewoman wearing a necklace turned around and asked, "Lance, what happened?"
The young man called Lance promptly bowed to the noblewoman. "Madam, I saw him trying to approach you while you were unsuspecting, so I stepped in to stop him. I'm asking him what he wants to do."
"Oh, Lance," the noblewoman said, casting a gentle glance at the young man, "thank you for your concern."
Li En glanced at the faint marks of injury visible beneath the young man's collar and sleeves, then looked at his outwardly glamorous appearance, completely different from his inner self. Coupled with the mysterious atmosphere between the noblewoman and Lance, even a fool could guess what was going on.
This young man named Lance was this noblewoman's "male favorite," or rather, her lover.
At that time in London, the legal and moral environment was still relatively strict, and no one dared to put their male lovers on the table. Therefore, this Lance must have been truly talented to be invited by Money Cat to attend the salon, but it just so happened that he ended up with his wealthy lover.
In that case, it's quite normal for him to be labeled a genius of mysticism.
Li En remained unwavering and chose to first replicate the label on Lance's head, aiming to raise the label of "genius of mysticism" to Lv3 as much as possible.
After exchanging a loving glance with Lance, the noblewoman turned to Li En and asked, "Who are you?"
"Hello, my name is Lee En Wales, the eldest son of the Baron of Wales."
"A Baron?" The noblewoman seemed to only hear those two words, letting out a sneer. "A Baron? Good heavens, has the Money Cat stooped so low that even a Baron can attend this salon?"
Her voice was quite high-pitched and penetrating, and many of the guests around heard it and turned to look.
"The lowest ranks here are viscount and earl. How can a baron's child attend the Money Cat Salon? I doubt it's because of your family's wealth."
Li En felt this sentence sounded familiar, and it was full of flaws.
The lady looked Li En up and down and said, "Hmm...not bad looking. Are you an actress? Or an artist?"
“Madam, I know him,” Lance began. “He’s a freshman at Miskatonic University, and he’s said to be very talented, with a chance of participating in the Golden Dawn Open.”
The lady looked surprised. "The Golden Dawn Open Tournament? Interesting. No wonder you were able to attend the salon; are you also a genius in the occult?"
Li En casually replied, "I wouldn't dare call myself a genius. I can only be considered to have a little more talent than the average person. I'm still quite far from being a true genius."
"Interesting," the lady said, looking at Li En and licking her lipstick-covered lips. "Mr. Wells, I'm quite interested in you. Would you like to have afternoon tea with me sometime?"
Li En shuddered.
Is he trying to take me as a male concubine?
"Hehehe," soft laughter echoed from the ladies' inner circle. "Mary's at it again. Don't you have enough little lovers already?"
"Well, her husband is currently on the rise, and it's hard for her to suppress her feelings after just becoming a countess."
Teasing whispers echoed in his ears, but Li En's focus was more on the necklace on the noblewoman's chest. He was willing to agree to anything as long as he could get the opal on the necklace.
"It's an honor." Li En bowed to the lady, took her fingertips, and gave her a perfunctory hand kiss.
This kind of etiquette is relatively less used among nobles, but for Li En, physical contact is necessary.
After their conversation, the lady's wariness of Li En lessened.
With his left hand holding the noblewoman's fingertips, Li En's right hand gave a slight squeeze.
The opal, no bigger than the palm of his hand, was already in his palm.
succeed.
Along with obtaining the opal, Li En also copied Lance's label as a genius in mysticism.
"It still feels better to eat and take some with you."
"I will send you the invitation in a few days," the noblewoman licked her lips, looking at Li En with the eyes of someone eyeing prey. "I hope you won't disappoint me then."
"I am a countess. If you don't cooperate, I only need to say something to my husband, and your family will be in for a rough time."
Li En: "..."
Why is there a segment where men are forcibly abducted?
Li En quickly turned and left. The noblewoman was just about to integrate into her little circle and discuss how to treat Li En, her new male favorite, in the future.
A male servant walked slowly over and came to the lady's side.
"Madam, please come with me."
The lady was engrossed in her conversation when the male servant interrupted her, a look of displeasure on his face. "If it's something trivial, please don't bother me."
The male servant said in a deep voice.
"Mrs. Wilde, you'd better come with me."
"The hostess of the salon cordially invites you to meet her upstairs."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wilde was startled, and nearly dropped her wine glass.
